Minor Suggestions

Bottom post of the previous page:

Added atmos/fire monitoring to the CE PDA/cart and Atmos tech PDA/cart, seeing as neither consoles need IDs to operate.

Offer more information from alarms in the Atmos console, such as a temp alarm, pressure alarm, O2 level alarm, etc etc. I find it weird that air alarms can gather this information but not transmit it.

Perhaps a way of monitoring distro loop or waste loop type console. But only available to atmos techs.

Put something fun inside the vault safe.

A bear pelt hat is fine, sure. It's semi rare (only comes once every 10 or so rounds from the cargo event) but the fireaxe is just trash to put as a 'reward.'

As I said, do it Bay style.
Yellow jumpsuit, janicart key, katana.

Shit somebody needs to do this because I really want a 'HARMCAUSER' helmet

Also fix the detectives shoulder holster. Right now it can not hold the revolver and looks like the shotgun shell bandoleer. Why would a shoulder holster be belt slot anyways? I think we should take the Bay shoulder holster that works as a jumpsuit accessory.

The two people above me have good ideas.

Not-Dorsidarf · Fri Jan 23, 2015 1:39 pm

It's a belt slot because the only point of it is so you dont have it hanging from your hips, not to boost your inventory.

Also it aint gonna work like on Bay, because according to everyone I heard when we were discussing this, the relevant code is "awful", "bad", "Not up to standards", "Hacky", and a variety of other things. It would also be the only clothing item in the game to have storage in it, so that would be weird.

Give sprites and I'll code it. Shouldn't be hard, just a change to icons.

Make it so the handheld crew monitor (a small item) can fit in the medical belt (a normal sized item). This will allow doctors with a defibrillator on their back and internals on to carry one non-medical item in their pocket, like a crowbar.

Make the standard mining drill capable of drilling through walls, but it takes about two minutes of uninterrupted standing there to compensate. Make sonic jackhammers capable of doing this as well, for about a minute and a half.

Allows miners, organic and silicon, to get into sealed vaults without it being overpowered.

Space Glue, as counter for Space Lube.

When applied to a tile, nothing on that tile can slip you, but you are slowed down due to your shoes sticking.
When applied to an item...you can use it as normally, because balance.
When applied (externally) to a person, they will move very slowly, due to being covered in glue all over.

Let humans be meatspiked, so long as they're
a) dead.
b) recognisable by examining the meatspike.
c) stripped of clothing.
d) aggro-grabbed.

Even without a gibber, you got to be able to recycle SOMEHOW.

The metal rod sprite should be changed from a stack to a single rod, as the item is called metal rod (singular).

A lot of things could possibly benefit from this - simple sprite stacking up to five. A single metal rod or sheet is a metal rod or sheet - two metal rods or sheets are metal rods or sheets, and now look like metal rod or sheet sprites stacked at a slight angle on top of each other. This goes from two sprites to three, from three to four, from four to five, and then stays at five even if it goes up to fifty.

Bam. Quick readability for small stacks.

DemonFiren · Post by **DemonFiren** » Mon Feb 02, 2015 7:53 am #65095

Since I was told I was in the wrong thread...
Coders, tell me this is not completely unfeasible.

Make the genetics invisibility power kick in much faster and stay intact while you are walking.
In exchange, it still shows clothing. You have to be completely naked for any benefit.

Stun prods should do 45 stamina damage on hit instead of acting the same as stun batons by virtue of their improvised nature.

They're already shit at keeping people down for prolonged periods of time...

Not-Dorsidarf · Wed Feb 04, 2015 4:46 pm

Stun prods should have a 10% chance of stunning the user and another 10% chance of stunning the user and the target. It's a stick with a prong and a battery attatched, after all.

DemonFiren · Post by **DemonFiren** » Wed Feb 04, 2015 5:09 pm #65974

No selfstunning if wearing insuls, then.

Not-Dorsidarf · Wed Feb 04, 2015 5:24 pm

if you have insulated gloves the chance should be less (But it's still easy to poke yourself or touch the rod with a part of you that isn't gloved.

DemonFiren · Post by **DemonFiren** » Wed Feb 04, 2015 5:32 pm #65983

Well, the way I figured the prod works is that the battery is strapped to the rod via wires, their insulation exposed on the outside so that the battery discharges on whoever is unfortunate enough to get hit.
The thing won't actually zap the wielder, because in order to be able to do so, it would have to be transmitting current through the rod, at which point the battery would probably be depleting fast and the rod would be starting to become uncomfortably warm.

But if we're talking balance, make insugloves negate all of the shocking. Prods are already shitty enough as is.

miggles · Post by **miggles** » Thu Feb 05, 2015 1:00 am #66110

having stunprods shock the user just because theyre ghetto makes no sense
youd have to either somehow hit yourself with the end of the prod (which would require you to be clumsier than a clown) or the prod would shock you through the handle which like demonfiren said would realistically give you an indication that something is wrong beforehand

Catch verb, that you can toggle in the preferences tab. Toggle catch and you have a chance to catch any small object that is thrown on your current tile. You can only catch with an active empty hand
