ADD FISH DOCTOR

But keep virology

But keep virology

Chuck virology.

[cacogen]

why can't we get fishing but without removing things? every game has fishing, even the most poorly made game of all time (cruelty squad) has fishing

[Turbonerd]

Removing virology is a positive, which is why they were removing it.

[cacogen]

virology being bad is a meme (not that i play it to know) and instead of removing a job that's been there for like 12 years or however long it's been in the game for the perceived problems with it should just be fixed

also changes based on memes that stupid people repeat (such as borg flipping and the change to janiborg cleaning as a result of those comics somebody made) are misguided

[Shadowflame909]

Was based but then I saw comments that said healing bad (Just die bro)

I don't like being horizontal

tenure is a really shitty reason to keep a feature and hasn't stopped people from removing them in the past(see: cloning).

Virology is good. Some of my favourite SS13 memories are viro related.

Virology just needs to be less isolated IMO. Make it a more integrated part of medical to enable more interaction with the rest of the department, even if that would be kind of stupid realistically. It would also be really cool if we could make viruses that mutated humans and gave them random physical alterations with various boons and drawbacks. I'm thinking stuff like the xenobio armgun and armblade, but with a ton of RNG to prevent le epic speedrun any% for the strongest shit imaginable. Imagine getting a liver that processes toxins into ling haste, but also takes high tox damage while doing so and makes you allergic to some medicines. You could have tons of fun just mutating your own organs and having the deadly ones operated out by doctors, and end up becoming an inhuman abomination with completely unique rules for what harms you and what you're good at. I want more strong, cool shit locked behind RNG, damnit.

make viruses that are also affected by genetics so we can make uroboros
let viro mains unleash their inner wesker

Cytology should have been achievable with genetics

You got it the wrong way around king, genetics should be achievable through scanning the different cytology mobs.
Like you get mutations through the critters.

That's actually cool as hell. Would be much more fun and we could rebuild the genetics labs into dedicated cyto labs. It makes perfect sense too, getting your superpowers from mutant beasts instead of them being dormant in people. Since cytology is so damn time consuming and logistics heavy we could have much stronger genetic powers locked behind really hard to make creatures too. Imagine cooperating with botany, chemistry and the bartender along with several other scientists to grow a chimeric pseudo-xenomorph as big as a queen but way more deadly. Basically megafauna lite whose genome could be analysed and converted into a mutation that lets you run like you're on meth permanently and gives you natural stealth and armor. For extra FUN the creature could be required to be sentient too, becoming an antag and having to be contained for x amount of time while its genome is being extracted. I imagine something like the dominus rex for jurassic world. A superpredator that outspeeds humans and has chameleon stealth for utterly horrifying ambushes.

Cant wait for the pipespergs to neuter the fuck out of icthyologist by making fish require a highly delicate atmosphere of autism gasses so noone plays the job

This is an extremely powerful take.

I still want fishing merged either way.
