Bottom post of the previous page:

Standard Asimov and mother drone lawsets have been disabled from being selected at random from the experimental AI station trait.

Manuel's Extreme Pop Cap has been reduced by 10 back down to 70

A quick word about how tinkering with popcap has gone for Manuel during this term.

It's been bad. Raising the popcap exponentially increased the number of tickets. Large population that is conducive to RP seems to be achievable through whitelist, but that's absolutely not how we do it around here and in my opinion isn't how we should be doing things anyway. I thought that an increase to the extreme cap would be fine, it's only ghosts, what's the worst that could happen? It was enough to draw in popchasers and degrade the quality of rounds.

Maybe MRP can support a bigger cap in the future, for now I don't think it can. If the extreme popcap is chafing I suggest you get a BYOND membership, it lets you bypass the extreme pop cap.

Reopening roundstart suicide role command positions (and the report) is now turned on, because none of us can remember why it was turned off.

Enabled everyone having maint access for a month.

Golems have been removed from Ice Box for sucking major balls

Nutimov has been removed from the weighted list for the experimental AI lawset station trait, we bonk players for explicitly validhunty lawsets FNR, it shouldn't be in the config

After viewtopic.php?p=662249#p662249 and the resultant policy thread, The Luxury Shuttle (_maps/shuttles/emergency_luxury.dmm) has been disabled in the config. Here's a snippet from that post:

- If you want the shuttle back as-is, it should be locked behind an emag. (would be even nicer if emag-locked shuttles were a config itself so I wouldn't have to remove it fully)
- If the shuttle were to be reworked (strongly supportive of this), it should remain in the general shuttle purchase catalog.

Of course, future headmin terms can think otherwise and re-enable it at will. It would be appreciated if they reach out to maptainers/maintainers regarding this should that come up- but it's ultimately whatever since it's your ship.

Some ideas for reworking the shuttle are in that post, and scattered in several places throughout mapping channels.

Now that https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/72940 has been merged which fulfills the bare minimum requirement (emag-locking it), as well as introducing some novel new things that make it more than just "I want to be protected from all harm", I will be re-enabling it in the configuration.

Changes
- Roundstart borg slots have been taken up to 2 on all servers
- "Validhunt" has been added to the hard IC word filter
- Minor dynamic changes for MRP

As part of this change:
We generated the shared jobconfig.toml config file. This was modified to set Cyborg Spawn Positions to 2 and the relevant entry was uncommented.
We deleted the old jobs.txt config files on all servers. We have now fully moved to jobconfig.toml for job overrides.
We set the LOAD_JOBS_FROM_TXT flag in config.txt to take advantage of the jobconfig.toml changes.

The jobconfig.toml file has been updated to add the new Coroner job.

The round start lobby timer has been increased from 120 to 150.

180 to 210 opps.

We've enabled the ability for players to request music implemented in https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/74170.
We've enabled logging of these requests.
We've set the whitelist of allowed request sites to only accept requests from YouTube, Soundcloud and Bandcamp.

The ROUNDSTATSURL entry has been updated to https://statbus.space/rounds/ in anticipation of future changes implementing nu-nu-statbus.

Change from last term by MSO:
Bombcap was increased from 20 max radius to 32 max radius.

"fr" was added to the IC say filter (still available on pda)
"joever" was added to the IC filter

rock the vote was disabled

People can sometimes hate new maps because they are new and scary, or because they would rather vote away from the map then report the bugs it has so they can be fixed. RTV was often used for this purpose. "Oh the new map i don't have the layout of memorized finally got voted? time to rtv back to cp_2fortdust ".

I'm gonna likely re-create my old system of weighted random. where your vote just chose the random odds for the map pick. Maybe also have the current map have like a 10% down weight for every round it was played in the last 5 rounds, so metadustfort station can't dominate the map pool.

Roundstart borg slots have been reverted to codebase defaults.

As of the time of writing, that means a change from the old config value of 2 to the new codebase default value of 3.

Roundstart Malf AI has been re-enabled on MRP.

Jellypeople have been enabled as a roundstart race. Not the ones that split just the ones that die to toxin healing damage.

Roundstart prisoner slots have been increased from 2 to 3.

Jellypeople have been disabled in config as a roundstart race.

The maximum population for Birdshot to be voted has been reduced from 60 to 45.
