The only code deviation really was them adapting the monkey meatslab into their own code.
I played a bit of gorilla as hippie and i can say the gimmick of having hands is actually underwhelming as what it might appear, gorillas upright holding objects are painfully slow and really not worth it unless you have objects to block ranges projectiles. Like really you would actually require something absurd like a eshield to justify it.
My feedback because certainly this mob is going to get abused, but it is easily defeatable with strafing tactics. Hippie mowed down a lot of player & NPC gorillas using self recharging laser guns & also gangmode turrets (it was a admin event where 30 gorillas were spawned at a time)
Allow gorilla's to beat down walls on harm intent, they can only push.
Gorilla's become slower on 4 legs and slightly faster on two, because rampaging on 4 gorillas will charge you at max speed & high velocity stunpunches, while gorilla's otherwise move very very slowly on 2 legs and do less damage with items so its got no combat edge at all. Just handicap the max speed & make item holding a little bit more hurried will nicely even it out
Allow gorilla's to wear hats, eyewear & masks for cosmetics and small amount of functionality if sprites allow, similar situation to the WIP dwarf pr if limited, its a natural step to omitting more of your slots for being a more powerful monkey
[20:26:02]ADMIN: PM: [censored admin]->[censored]: Welp. It was just a prank bro isn't a very good excuse when it comes to unprovoked nonantag murder, but since this is your first time doing it and you seem to understand the problem instead of a bannu I'm just going to leave you with a warning. Please PLEASE don't do this again in the future, as funny as crackhead broken bottle memes can be. Alrighty? Do you have any input on this?
[20:26:39]ADMIN: PM: [censored]->[censored admin]: Alright, no problem. I have some input. Fuck my boy pussy.
[20:27:06]ADMIN: PM: [censored admin]->[censored]: Okay then. Have fun.
[20:31:29]ADMIN: PM: [censored admin]->[censored]: Excuse me?

Speaking now the round has ended on sybil, gorilla's have finally landed and some player feedback from deadchat (and ick ock) is that they'd like gorilla's to be more ckey mob like, a odd request coming from a surgeon who'd like them to be operated on.
We did have a dedicated crewmember gorilla but after watching them a while it was obvious they were having difficulty doing things, as they slowly paced around assisting crewmembers with their emergency toolbox and even a dedicated ID.
Gorilla's cannot eat banana's to heal themselves or even as a snack, what a horrendous lack of foresight.
can we make reverting someone to a monkey and then human possible? this seems like too easy a way to make someone into a shitty simple mob and removed from the round.

Also somehow gorilla's appear every round, not sure if its fucky geneticists or admins are yet to get bored of the novelty of inserting them.
Oh that's simple they turn you into a monkey and massively irradiate you to near death until you mutate into a gorilla

Basically confirming that by now its common knowledge, i knew of the method and gotcha. Gorilla conversions are the new way for genetics to release dangerous powers out on the station if its not midget hulks or telekenesis used to grief.

The rules exist to create the biggest possible chance of a cool shift of SS13. They don't exist to allow admins to create the most boring interpretation of SS13.
It makes them pretty OP during a fight if there is water about.
During a round every round last night there was about 3-4 just going around beating the crap out of everyone. However in this particular round there was a moment the fight happened to pass over a patch of hallway the janitor had just cleaned.
Lo and behold the 5 or so humans fighting the gorillas almost immediately got robusted as they either slipped or forced to walk while the gorillas could freely beat the shit out of them.
