Bring back swarmers but without replication
See the title, I think the thing that made swarmers insufferable was that you could never get rid of them, there would always be one hiding in the vents and the thing starts over again.
If just 3 non replicating ones are spawned or something it would be fine. Maybe you can even add some other stuff for them to build with their material that isn't another swarmer.

Re: Bring back swarmers but without replication
the most recent iteration of swarmers only had the spawning beacon and that didnt change the fact that they only exist to eat things when people arent looking

Re: Bring back swarmers but without replication
Make it so swarmers die in a single hit and have no stun attack.
But also bring back the old style of players-only swarmers

Re: Bring back swarmers but without replication
This is great actually, as an endgame to Nanites
If you over do Nanites, they overtake your body and turn your body into grey goo, nanites that can only consume resources and reproduce.
>But then they would be with replication wouldn't they?
Nope. These swarmers would be back ups of the original player.
No they wouldn't. But they would act as an end-state to over-using Nanites. If you over-use genetic powers and get too much genetic instability, you die (eventually)

Science Nanites got removed: https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/60473
Still could work using the Nanite chemical but only syndi borgs use that.
It keeps getting worse!?

Re: Bring back swarmers but without replication
Fucking thank you. Swarmers being removed was by far one of the best changes.

Re: Bring back swarmers but without replication
To the stargate fans among you, Human form Replicators, I mean Swarmers. Are they a good idea Y/N?

Re: Bring back swarmers but without replication
What about a version of swarmers with:
-No self defense/teleport ability. They run or they die
-No power to destroy walls. Any type of walls (And windows)
-Only player controlled
-No ventcrawling (I think they had this at some point)
This turns them from bullshit eternal stunbeasts into more of a minigame for dead players to vibe with. Make them still drop Bluespace crystals and maybe whatever metal they've eaten too so people have additional reasons to hunt them

Re: Bring back swarmers but without replication
I still have PTSD from both versions of swarmers. Anything that re-adds them is too soon.

If you give someone a year to stop shitting on the carpet and they keep doing it but get slightly closer to the bathroom every time and sometimes they get to the toilet before it happens, at what point does it become acceptable to just ask them to go shit in someone else's house?

swarmers would make a good base for a new roundstart race of robot sentients
