Bring back bluespace slimes

[Vekter]

I can't make bluespace grenades anymore. 0/10.

[Incoming]

I noticed this too. I swear it's a bug, or the nastiest stealth nerf ever. Literally every other slime in the game has a reaction with plasma.

Edit: nevermind I realized when all this went down https://github.com/tgstation/-tg-station/pull/2875

It's still really shitty that there's a hole in the bluespace slimes rewards and should be filled with something though.

[Vekter]

So it's Aran hating fun/being too lazy to fix so remove instead of improve.

Could you port over Sayu's? I think this could be something awesome.

[Incoming]

Sayu's version of bluespace slime reactions was also lost, ironically, when goonchem was ported there.

It can still be found in the removed code here though (https://github.com/SuperSayu/-tg-statio ... 9ed4b8a2b8)

Bluespace nades were literally the greatest thing about xenobio.

They were fucking hilarious. If someone could bring them back and fix whatever issues there was with them, they would be pretty god tier.

[Bluespace]

I support this.

[iamgoofball]

why not add the bluespace effect as a chem byproduct along with adding back the slime?

[lumipharon]

If you mean as a chemical reaction instead of a slime reaction, then it can be abused in various ways which can be pretty meh, considering you can space people with it.

Also by the way, I noticed that when I had some stabilised something (sonic powder or some shit) in a chemmaster, and removed the stabilising agent, the sonic powder didn't react. I just had a beaker of sonic powder.

Is that intended behavior?

From the Guide to Chemistry on the wiki:

Deafens in a radius that scales up with the amount detonated. Can be stabilized with Stabilizing Reagent. If stabilized, heat to 374K to activate.

That's precisely how stabilizing reagent works, it stabilizes the mixture which will then require some additional stimulus to go off - not simply the removal of the stabilizing reagent.

[lumipharon]

I know how stabilised chemicals work, my question was, are the chemicals supposed to stay stable even when there is no longer any stabilisation powder in the container.

[iamgoofball]

Yes.

I was very dissapointed to see both the bluespace slime and bluespace event gone.

The anomaly version barely moves anything.

What issues was it causing exactly? I'd fixed it to not move pipes/apcs/wires anymore before I left. I'm not sure how moving mobs and tables was causing an issue. The PR doesn't really make it clear what was wrong

DO YOU EVEN PLAY??

[onleavedontatme]

That's what I mean. When I added it as a standalone event it'd move an entire department.

The new version flings people a couple spaces and then vanishes

I recall the old bluespace translocation event once taking all of the windows from atmos and making a wall in the arrivals shuttle whilst exposing atmos to space
Readd it it was great

[Not-Dorsidarf]

Yeah, it added a sense of FUCK GET THE CODE that even the ones that literally explode or eat an entire room didn't, because even if it was somewhere you didnt care about, it might end up in your workplace

Or the entire armory suddenly appearing on the mining outpost during a rev round.

The game sorely needs more of this. Lately it's hard to get a reaction out of players without spawning a blob.

not to mention spawning a blob doesn't usually get more of a reaction than "muh toe xD call the shuttle"
