Bottom post of the previous page:

Let food placed in vendors persist between rounds.

They should spoil over time though.
Left over for one round: still fine
Two rounds: starting to go bad, probably a bit stale or sour. Still fine to eat but doesn't give as many nutrients
Three rounds: spoiled. Eating this shit makes you puke and lose nutrients

Gotta rotate that inventory cuz

Toy TTVs! A subtype of the normal TTV that, instead of mixing the attached tanks when activated, it simply plays an explosion sound and says "BOOM!". Throw them at Security officers!!

[Jacough]

That gives me an idea for a gag clown traitor item. A fake syndicate bomb. Looks like a syndicate bomb and beeps like a syndicate bomb but it has a little twist. Once it counts down to zero instead of exploding it makes a loud but ultimately harmless honk that can be heard from far away. Trying to tamper with any of the wires causes it to release a laughing gas that prevents anyone caught in it from talking while also making them laugh uncontrollably. Costs 5 TCs so you can order it along with a real syndicate bomb. Place them next to each other for a little game where security has to find out which bomb is the real one or synchronize their timers just right so that shortly after the fake bomb goes off and the crew is sighing with relief the real bomb goes off, killing dozens of people

[Anonmare]

They should have different wires too. So if sec does manage to disarm the fake one, they can't use the wires to disarm the real one.

[DemonFiren]

aren't bomb wires randomised anyway

[FantasticFwoosh]

Security having a bomb blueprint (issues instructions on crafting recipie, talks you through it etc) with wire colors inside, but syndie bombs in response have randomised or

Allows you to quick craft full operational and armed bombs on the spot in the crafting menu.

Not enough people (I don't know either) even know how to approach to disarm a bomb because of the risk involved & the fact that practicing with the practice dummy in security isn't enforced in a way.

Ghostrole spawners are set at the bottom of the Orbit list, which is a great idea.

Can we do the same with randomgen structures at the bottom of the Teleport list, please?

[Screemonster]

Add a "junior photographer kid's camera" to the arcade machine prizes that looks and sounds exactly like a flash

cue the cries of "IT'S REVS" because some assistant is taking pictures of people in the bar

(basically the equivalent of the )

[DemonFiren]

you know actually
what would be hilarious
is confetti-throwing versions of common syndicate explosives
a confetti minibomb
a confetti pizza bomb
a confetti deployable bomb
a confetti implant for the clown
confetti airlock charges for surprise parties

Golemstation Admin Button.

Turns every human, lizardman, flyperson, potatoperson, plantperson, plasmaman etc. into a random golem type.

Nothing else changes.

[DemonFiren]

Like all admin buttons, this belongs in Shitty Suggestions.

[tacolizard]

fake explosive device:

when activated, it plays the explosion sound, it removes floor plating, damages plating, and lays down space-tile carpet to mimic a complete explosive breach.

[Anonmare]

I kind of wish you could make space carpet from chemistry. Like mixing carpet and dark matter.

I want to spook people with fake hull breaching grenades.

[Screemonster]

Allow people to be buckled/cuffed behind mulebots. Deal 1 brute for every tile they're dragged, more if the mule is hacked to go faster.

[DiamondSentinel]

Add quicktime events when using melee weapons on mechs to deal massive damage.

Also play Rules of Nature from MGR when you do so.

Inserting chemical reagents into a cybernetic heart (or a upgraded version) will make it produce that instead of blood, programmable in that sense into the bloodstream.

In such a case you want the heart to synthesise saline gluecose, so you spit out blue chemical blood, even using extracts of xenomorph blood in this way for green splatters.

Arent red blood cells produced in the liver though?

I am probably wrong but hey, I aint no real doctor.

Edit: wait no, Im all kinds of wrong, made in the bone marrow, and decomposed by the liver.

Thanks wikipedia.

I think the idea is not that it replaces your blood, but simply acts as a steady release pump

[FantasticFwoosh]

I find it hard to believe that you somehow twisted meaning out of my very literal statement, it does replace blood but won't change your blood-type.

What.

Because is the game, the heart is responsible for your blood rather than approaching on realism with livers etc.

hey dude I hate to rain on your parade but you need blood to be alive, saline glucose is additive and does not work as a whole substitute.

[FantasticFwoosh]

If you replace your heart's blood supply with it you can, which is in line with the suggestion to aid natural regeneration of your blood.

[Nilons]

have you ever successfully done this in game? The actual use of it is that it accentuates other blood. Although if you coded a blood substitute that had the same properties as blood that would be really cool for cyborgs

[Wyzack]

Wait you meant to replace your actual blood with sugar water?

Empty corpse of blood on a IV drip, refill with substitute if you don't have a corresponding blood bag is the usual method, then revive with some strange reagent once all the parts are in place. Currently in code it's converted rather than replaced i think, for all intensive purposes you can play million dollar man and just salvage old bodies, run them through the augument & body cavity implant gauntlet to insert new brains into, strange reagent and voila! alive person without cloning.

Wait you meant to replace your actual blood with sugar water?

Yes. Or any sample inserted into the cybernetic heart for it to synthesise, different bloodtypes etc, not really sure whether it should override your bloodtype but you could in theory as long as the chemical is not harmful, replace your blood with any reagent, like oil.

Mainly as nilons points out, for making cool custom cyborg/augument blood depending on the compound.

Give the life bringer vault a welding fuel tank or even just a sample of fuel so they can have welding fuel bees.

They can literally grow their own metal with tower cap mutants (steel caps) but it's in rod form so they need to melt it down to make anything airtight like girders for walls.

Nothing wrong with adding a few rooms onto the vault and they still need to shuffle their own airlocks around (needing fuel too) to keep it airtight so it would be a neato minor change.

Ashliggers already have a regenerating welder and they don't use it for jack shit.

Ill consider it if i make any map changes to the plant-person vault to tidy it up, its on my agenda. It needs more of a organisational workaround with the space rather than more rooms since the current setup is sloppy prefab stuff.

But remember that podpeople can make panel walls out of paper by crafting natural paper out of logs, then making frames with paper & planks which are also airtight.

[Zaffre]

Make plants you've added Slippery Skin to actually keep the slippery skin when they turn into a Walking Mushroom/Killer Tomato. Or at least make the grass tile slippery god damn it.

[Cobby]

Add visual cues for weeds and pests in hydroponic trays [make them general so they can be set to the soil ones as well].

[Remie Richards]

pests can just be classic 1 pixel flies darting around
weeds just tiny plants

fund it

I don't know if it's because I am used to the singularity engine but having played with the SM for a few months now it just feels way too 'safe'. Very un-ss13 if you get what I mean.

Bring back the Singuloth.

Or I dunno, make the SM easier to sabotage and more interesting than just a big explosion. Big explosion is boring.

But can you fit a signaller somewhere in it so you can sabotage it remotely? It just seems very safe.

Put a signaller on the APC short wire to disable the filters with a power outage, forcing them to have to be manually reset to fix it. Not an efficient method but it works.
You can also disable the engineering radio channel, or all of t-comms, to suppress supermatter alerts.

The idea is that you actually have to do more than leave a console on 3 or snip a wire to destroy the station

The sec-segway should get defensive upgrades that allow it to shoot out dragnets and defensive plating (blocks laser and some bullet fire from the front via a front shield) so its actually viable later on to have officers patrolling on it, asking for them over the counter floor buffer style.

A way to slightly increase the speed of both (motor or something) wheels also for respective carts.

I might code this depending on your specific idea and how difficult it is to implement. As for speed, use a slime speed potion!

Recipes for artificial nutriment, blood and synthetic liquid gibs for chemistry

Nutriment:-
4 parts sugar
2 parts water
2 parts carbon
2 parts sodium chloride
Makes 1u instead of 10u
(careful you don't make saline-glucose by accident)

Synth blood recipe:-
10 parts saline-glucose
10 parts iron
5 parts nutriment
5 parts oxygen
Makes 5u instead of 30u.

Liquid gibs:-
15 parts blood
15 parts synthflesh
15 parts carbon
5 parts cryoxadone
Makes 10u of gibs instead of 50u
(Careful you don't make synthmeat)

Make it so that the xenobiology consoles' recycler is directly tied to the monkey recycler machine, so upgrading the machine improves the efficiency of recycling monkeys through the consoles.

Also, make the slime recycler further upgradeable to increase the capacity of slimes held by the console at once from 5, and to suck slimes into itself faster.

[Anonmare]

Add a radiation treatment kit and give engineering a single one.
it contains:-
1x medical analyzer
1x epi-pen
3x synaptazine syringes
3x potassium iodide pills

Give standard cyborgs an RPED (Rapid Part Exchange Device) so they can upgrade machines! For the same cost and research of a normal BSRPED (BlueSpace Rapid Part Exchange Device), allow Robotics to build an upgrade to change those RPEDs to BSRPEDs.

- Please make Lightgeists into a random event. They're harmless creatures that are mildly beneficial to the station, and so rare that I have seen precisely one, but if they're made a random event they can pop up once in a blue moon instead of once every hundred thousand years or so.
- More golem types.
- Make it so that objects that have been suicided with - especially unique objects, and ESPECIALLY especially unique objects that have no other use - gain weak, mystical powers. The game already knows when (at least some) objects have been suicided with, and informs you of such (I'm thinking of the Medical Wrench); make it so that these objects can infer a minor boon upon the wielder, appropriate to that object.
- Make it so that Colossuses and Bubblegum have actual corpses alongside their loot, worth points to Centcom on the shuttle and filled with surgical wonders for medbay.
- Make it so that flight potions give a number of different wings, which could possibly have different effects. Different humanoid species have different chances to get the wings when they drink a flight potion (eg. flymen have more chance of getting fly wings, lizardmen have more chance of getting leathery wings).

[XDTM]

Oh hey, always up for more golems!

Many of those suggestions are redundant or lacking a cool gimmick (the gibtonite golem shares the explosion with the plasma golem, for example), but the sinew floating golem seems like a nice addition

As for surgical wonders, i feel like the Voice of God is sadly very rarely used, i would like to see it in action sometimes

Yeah, I contributed to this doc, and was trying to think of as many materials as possible before adding effects, so I was running out of ideas.

Could make a gibtonite golem a walking maxcap on death, turning the station into that episode of Tom & Jerry with the white mouse.
