/tg/Station 13

Bottom post of the previous page:

Last time I played guillotines were new.
Have they added gallows yet?
If so, they should. Combine a meat spike with cablecuffs and some electronic bullshit, I don't know.

Map in a standard modular computer somewhere near the AI, so it can play around with one without having to bookmark the bridge one. The Supermatter monitor and station alerts programs are fantastic for keeping an eye on things.

I was going to say give medical doctors organ and implants from robotics, but apparently tech webs already did this and it just never gets researched.

Add white crayons to crayon boxes.

Make TEG's buildable. Maybe tie them into the techweb somewhere early, but add their boards to the Engineering circuit imprinter. The materials could be 4 matter bins, 2 manipulators, 2 capacitors, 1 sheet of glass, 2 sheets of metal, and 2 sheets of titanium. It is cheap enough that you don't have to wait hours for mining to get the mats, but expensive enough that certain engineers can't spam them at round start. This opens up possibilities for more complicated SM set ups, atmos only power generation (the turbine sucks), and adds uses for the plasma produced by the SM.

big robotic spider legs for ai to walk with its core around

Xray should see mobs in vent pipes, and there should be secure variants to the scrubbers and vents that the AI can toggle shutters open and close remotely.

Blood trails on the floors should dry up and become dried blood after a while.

Perhaps give the podpeople in lavaland a disk storage unit like what the botanists have? Would make it easier than just storing all the disks on a table next to the genetics machine.

make the trash bag pick trash things up when you walk over them

please
there are too many darts, send help

Click the tiles with the trashbag in hand

Click the tiles with the trashbag in hand

the darts were invisible and you need to click an item on the tile for it to work

also they were mid-air dart projectiles not dart items so it's not like you could pick them up anyway

Even before the invisidarts, I had to pixel hunt to pick up darts from the beach

The nuke, along with the station self destruct, should play the "airraid.ogg" sound upon being activated. It is currently only used for Nar-Sie, when it should be used for these two events as well.

Is the AIO grinder the only machine that can't have a board printed? I can't find it and I have to steal viro/bar one whenever I need it.

It's under miscellaneous machinery in the circuit printer

Doesn't it already turn on antag hud for everyone at round end automatically?

CosmicScientist wrote:Since when?

Months now

Add the "belt of holding" as a belt option for engineers and scientists, as the trash bag of holding was locked away to service only. It need not be the full 60 slots, or could have the teleport disruption that the BoH has.

Look! It even has sprites, from MrSnapwalk!

Awesome idea

Blood trails and other messes should become more and more transparent or minor as more people walk over them too, as the ware from shoes walking over it would naturally deteriorate it over time. For each time someone walks over the blood it gains 1 percent of transparency. This would help the janitor out (when it's absolute chaos), yet still keep the mess around for janiborgs. It'd also make it clear that there was a fresh blood trail compared to an old one, which is more concerning.

Unrelated recommendation: Make the newscaster instead of saying "new articles available!" instead say the name of the article and author. As people walk by, have the newscaster say a randomly published article title and author as well 25% of the time. This would encourage people to actually read the articles, which hopefully would cause more people to publish articles.

You know what's nice about pubbystation, these little nooks around corridors that you can use if for whatever reason you need to stop for a moment to do something without constantly getting interrupted and shoved around by people walking past. They also make corridors feel a lot less dull and empty.

Meta and Delta are pretty packed though so I'm not sure if there's room for them, but they would be nice to have

Replace the standard toolboxes in the autolathe with mechanical ones, would help with making floorbots.

Light short's should happen less frequently. I've never known a workplace to lose more lights than tgstation.

Please fix it so it happens less frequently.

There already is something like that

Being able to set your preferred AI core display in the character settings menu.

Would save me at most 5 seconds every round but at the same time it pains me when I see a default core display AI, makes me feel like the 30~ other displays are never ever noticed because it's just a (small) chore to go out of your way to change them.

Give the emag limited charges that it needs time on cooldown to recharge.

t. veteran of ~>30 emag literally everything rounds

Make it possible to create security and medical belts, along with holsters using leather again. The recent change to biogens removed those options.

Deluxe Chameleon Bundle - 8 TC (maybe 10)

Goggles are thermal or sec HUDglasses, gloves are insulated/fireproof, shoes noslips, armor slot provides armor, and headset includes a Syndie key. Maybe agent ID too.

Ideas for improving lavaland syndicate base

Devices/Machines where it would logically make sense should be emagged
- Chem Dispensers, Drink Dispensers, NOT sleepers

There should be a way for scientists to contact Syndicate Command (admins)
- I go as lavaland syndie often to test shit which isn’t available
- Won’t waste an ahelp asking for shit this way, prayers are rolling the dice
- Effectively an emmaged comms console but without the other functions

None of this shit is abusable if a miner breaks in, if they go through the trouble of getting across lava and killing the respawnable agents, they deserve to send memes to Syndicate Command and harvest the emag chems.

Could we add a way to acquire titanium to Oldstation? It is the one essential mineral missing from it. You could put it in one of the nearby formations, like the diamond is, or perhaps on the hivebot ship like the rest.

Make moths attracted to lights. If below a certain light treshold, give confusion like effect towards closest visible light source.
Or something visual, but annoying.

With this we can turn off the lights to make them go away.

Can revheads get a sound effect when they spawn in at roundstart? Maybe a communist chant/USSR song.

Floor painters, so the clown can paint security pinkrenovating rooms. Should also include decals like the warning stripes.

I'll do the chem/drink dispenser thing when I tweak the syndie base a little. Not sure how to code the syndie contant thing, but I'll write it down for when I have more time.

Add a public setting to holopads that allow calls to automatically connect without requiring an answer if the receiving pad is set to public (these would be mapped in accordingly)

Bonus points if you can make it so holopads in command areas ignore the setting and always connect automatically

Three years ago I suggested that portable flashers should not flash people with eye cover on, so they bulbs don't burn out like instantly. Let me try again.

Lower the player cap to 60 or 65.
Highpop is not fun. At all.

Play Sybil then
No one's forcing you to play the highpop server

A virus that can't advance stages unless a condition is met.

Such as "in crit" or "has this chemical in them".

Pills and bottles should have customizable sprites when you're creating them at the chemmaster.

Omniglasses. 8 TC. Thermals, sunglasses, mesons, night vision, secHUD, science goggles, medHUD. Maybe chameleon too.

Let the exosuit fab be emaggable. Either reduce costs/rapidly increase production time or (my favorite) allows it to produce fully completed cyborg shells at the same mat cost of cells/flashes/etc

Cooks are to reliant on botanist to get wheat. Before anyone says I dunno if "fight" for wheat is a good thing to think since 99,875% of botanists doesn't not allow cooks into hydro and vice-versa.
Add a machine that slowly generates flour (or even more ingredients) from bluespace. If botanists can make backpacks from biogenerators, why cooks can make flour from nothing?

Easy fix would allow the biogenerator to output raw flour from any organics added.

I was thinking recently about how little the neck slot is used and long story short what if the electropack was a shock collar that fit on the neck slot instead that'd be so much better and it'd give that slot SOMETHING.

literally porting citcode

Allow people to bolt the snack cart to the ground with a screwdriver or wrench so it doesn't get pushed around all the time. Or even just have a menu button to lock the wheels.

You'd see a lot more chefs use it if you could get it to stay in the same place.

Let lockers recieve airlock circuits to replace broken/emagged locks, and maybe allow the creation of personal lockers.

oh and floor/locker painters

The toolset and surgical arms are kinda inconvenient... but fucking imagine them with the radial rcd style menu! it'd be amazing!

Add a gun for atmospheric technician tators that fires projectiles that change effects depending on the composition of the surrounding atmosphere. Make the best effects require the most unusual atmospheres to encourage sabotage besides flooding plasma.

Chainsaw legs.

This should work the same way as arm chainsaws for application.
They should also mean that you damage floor tiles you cross, any mobs who you walk across on the floor and fall over when colliding with a wall or perhaps standing mob.

You are welcome.
