Genpop Feedback

Post by MMMiracles » #629504

Genpop on Tramstation has been active since early December and there isn't a feedback thread up about it, so I figured I'd make a location to get some general critique now that people have had time to adjust to it whenever it comes up.

The best way to get a girl/boy friend is to click on them say "hi" then push enter
then say "your cute" then push enter,wait until they say somthing back if they
don't go for another.

It's pretty unclear how you're supposed to use it intuitively, the paper is hard to notice
I almost entirely see sec not even knowing genpop exists, and using the solitary cells instead

Security basically just kills people or throws them in singlet cells for 10 minutes, so I haven't seen it used at all.

I had a conversation with the HOS one round, he asked me
"Do you know where the timer cells are?"
I did not know where the cells were, and was under the assumption it had been replaced by genpop.
I said
"I think the timers cell IS perma brig"
he said
"How does that work"
I said
"I don't know"

The end.

Yeah there's a table with a paper on it and the prisoner IDs you need to use but people are incapable of taking a beat and looking around for just a second or two to find such details (I'll admit it took me a bit to find these things as well but I'm fucking blind) so it should probably be more obvious. Just a giant, neon sign like the bar sign that says PRISONER PROCESSING HERE or something (not a serious suggestion, just trying to illustrate that it needs to grab the players' attention and explain to them like they're childs for it to work).
