/tg/Station 13

This is not the first time this has been suggested, but I think spacemen should need to go to the bathroom some time after they have eaten. (Metabolized enough nutriment)

I must first disclaim I do not intend for bodily waste material to ever be a physical entity in the game world in any capacity, this is different.

First a spaceman will get a harmless alert after a while telling them they should make their way to a toilet after they are done what they are doing. This stage lasts a while. Then the alert will upgrade to a still harmless "concerned" notification that the spaceman should relieve himself quite soon, which doesn't last as long. After this, the alert upgrades again to an "urgency" notification, which is no longer harmless, and results in stuns and knockdowns taking 20% longer to recover from. The alert directly tells the player of this debuff. This one lasts for another while, longer than "concerned". Finally if the spaceman still doesn't relieve himself, the alert upgrades to "holding it in", which lasts until the spaceman is able to get rid of it, with no further upgrades. This final stage doesn't slow walkspeed, but causes the spaceman to wait for the duration of a step every third step, with a rhythm being one-two-three-wait-one-two-three-wait, in addition to the 20% stun/weaken penalty.

You can remove the effect entirely at any stage by using a toilet that is surrounded on at least 3 sides by solid turfs, or in an emergency, be naked in space and click on the alert.

Relieveing yourself does NOT produce any waste material and simply clears the effect. This process is instant and doesn't take a long time. Once cleared, the effect will not return until more nutriment is metabolized.

Why do this?
This would force the crew to leave and go to the bathroom, a predictable place for assassination or other trouble, depending on where it is located on the station. Engineering could build more bathrooms if they wish to.

This feature is intended to punish extreme neglect, so the values should be forgiving... or not? Please discuss.

hiding in the bathroom with a chameleon projector, disguised as a toilet, and shoving an esword up the ass of anyone who dares enter

pissy shitties

Fetish content

At first I hated this idea

And then I hated this idea

And then I hated this idea

(And then I realized it's really funny if loud antags or sec get robusted because they really need to piss)

But yeah, probably best to just avoid it.

Sounds about as fun as the bathing mechanic.

im just gonna say it
poop is funny and i feel like the ss13 community is the only place on the internet that disagrees because they are so self important about being too "matuuuure" for it

Kinda Ruins the High Pace - High Stakes nature of situations if you gotta take a break from the game to go pee

This is most likely gonna get more people killed, or shuttles called because someone bombed the toilets and now everyone is stunned and moving slow

I hate this suggestion, please be quiet for several days

managing my own piss and shit in a videogame is such a fucking weird thing to do, this is bound to end up with weird fucking content, why would you suggest this

actually better idea, make it an admin punishment

when admins ban me for resting on a toilet tile and going me *eats after a catgirl stands on the tile and presses her toilet meter button or whatever

this is funny, as long as there is no shit just call it. Taking a piss and add a water system, make piss a fluid that slips people.

Hygiene was a negative moodlet and an overlay, and that was already too much for the denizens of ss13, so probably inviting the same dumpster fire there.

Of course a jannie would suggest fun debuffs be admin only.

The real cool-dude idea would be to make it a genetic mutation or virus symptom. Imagine the massive lineups at the bathroom because the whole station got the runs. What a riot, in more ways than one.

dude it's a spam stun and bad moodlet, wouldn't call that a "fun debuff"

though the idea of a virus making you go somewhere to get rid of an effect is a great idea

shitting and farting and pissing is something you are preconditioned to find funny and it will always remain funny
some gremlin bathroom dweller will murder everybody who enters and it'll just be hilarious

Just do toilet rp.

Make a gold toilet in the bar and emote taking off your pants, your face scrunching up, becoming redder and redder as your breath increases its pace before relaxing as a loud plunk is heard.

...

Do you understand now why this is a mistake?

I've wanted to add something like this. It would be a negative moodlet though, so a sort of optional thing. It wouldn't be possible to go in front of other people, and it wouldn't look like anything to observers (just your mob on top of the toilet). To you, there'd be a progress bar that would change in length based on a hidden 'bladder' variable. The toilet would have to be hooked up to disposals to use it. Then it would produce a waste cube, a sterile object that did nothing but gives toilets a reason to connect to disposals. Small mobs could use them like vents. You could also flush small objects. I had this idea because old maps had toilets hooked up to disposals and I think toilets maybe used to be disposals machinery and I've always wanted to see that realised.

Its because people had a lot of experience with slippery goon station turds and being forcibly poo pooed on

Personally coders should add a fart button so u can make a fart noise. Then you could hide whoopie cushions on chairs too.

I remember there being poo on a server I played on once and the entire floor was just poo. It took over everything.

d oo doo poo shits

poop based engine fuelled by poop...

I agree, this is a good idea. Honestly nobody visits dorms anyway but a requirement to go to the bathroom will make it a very good place to do surprise sex erp. I hope maintainers consider adding this into the game as erp has suffered a bit of a dip in popularity lately.

The Ship and probably other multiplayer games I'm unaware of have bathroom breaks but of course there's a bizarre moral panic about adding more depth to the simulation

Cacogen this is because we already had experience with a bathroom feature, no one liked it, and it was removed

hygiene 2 electric boogaloo

goon added fartmos so every time you fart it produces a small amount of brap gas so you could hypothetically fill the sm loop with nothing but ass blasts if you had enough assistants farting into the scrubbers

I'm well aware of what hygiene was and why people didn't like it I haven't suggested the same thing. Eating is already there to lure you out of your department having a minor negative moodlet that's optional to clear would not amount to a large disruption to your round and just give toilets a primary function which they so obviously lack. In fact, from my point of view it wouldn't even be necessary to have any incentive to use them. It'd just be a cool hidden feature if you'd eaten to use the toilet and you could also use them to flush things or yourself if you were a small enough mob.

Ah yes, because i need to totally powergame a extra disability (+1) trait point with a colostomy-bag.

Goon was the first station I played on and I bailed after two rounds in large part due to the constant farting.
