mullets

add more bronze stuff, like bronze weapons and bronze chainmail you wear in your jumpsuit slot or possibly a Rat'varian talisman you can craft out of bronze, bone and cable to put on your jumpsuit for extra armor.

Make igniter assemblies (igniter + signaller for example) be able to be hooked up to welding tanks and plumbing tanks so they can be detonated.

Add falling down stairs, as a chance thing to be triggered when going downstairs while clumsy. Each stair tile on the way down would do a bit of a damage, and you would flip either turnways or head over heels. If you were holding something, it would be thrown out in front of you.

Add a bunch of new uplink items, rotate them out every round.

Rework Regen Coma to activate during hard crit rather than at the current 30%. It would be a change for the better.

Heads of staff get a PDA message or some other kind of notification at shift start if they have an intern. Same goes when a new one late joins.

I want to griddle people

I’ve always wished it was just a table that cooks food and burns items and mobs.

Yeah it's table sized

Would you say that it could grill anything?

no... Don't do it...

Like it should just act like a table with the added functionality of cooking grillable food and burning all other items as well as mobs. But it can't just be a table with a grill component, where anything placed on it is handled by the component, because it's a machine. So how the fuck would that work without copying and pasting table shit to it? A table component, and a griddle component? Would that even work? I just don't know.

Allow player-controlled cats to bat things off of tables by clicking on them.

it would be silly, AHAHAH

That'd work yeah.

Burn damage table weapon

Abductor version that does clone damage and makes someone edible ala cake cat or butter bear

I just had the HUGEST BRAIN thought about Toolboxes being made able to hold medium stuff and people talking about turning them into backpacks in Coderbus

We need a "Satchel" crafted by combining a toolbox with a toolbelt to make a toolbox-on-a-sling

Latejoin changeling
Currently the only way to roll changeling is getting it roundstart, compared to the three ways you can roll traitor (roundstart, midround, latejoin). I think latejoin changeling would have much better odds of actually shaking things up compared when latejoining compared to a prog traitor or heretic.

how far in advance is mulebot pathfinding calculated
if possible, hacked mulebots should change their facing sprite one tile before they actually change direction so it looks like they're drifting

medhuds showing if a dead person was:
DC'd - grey line (priority)
heart/brain failure - red line (normal)
over 180 brute/burn damage - orange line (least priority)

it'd be a great QoL feature for med docs to quickly realize who's low priority (DC'd people) which ones they need to do surgery on, and which ones they need to tend quickly

Yes we have space carp

But what about space TUNA

Adding "in case of emergency break glass" cabinets to Ice box lower levels would be good.
Instead of fire axes, you could have PKAs in the second and third level of Ice Box. And on the bottom level, having a patrolling mine bot in case the wildlife breaks into the station would be good.

When moths take enough brain damage, they should get a special racial brain-damage tag when they examine their mood doll that says "I l-love lanyards..."

Get it? Because they are now confusing lanyards with lanterns

Add a less intense Pacifist that'll allow you to do shit like murder non-sentients or monsters like lavaland mobs or rats, etc.

Let Engiborgs get an RPED without needing an experiment done and that can hold more than 50 stock parts.

edit: or leave it as an experiment requiring one but make it a bluespace rped

Add a PAI-Posibrain transfer.
Right now I have to tell the PAI to do a "wireless transfer", and ghost and then enter the posibrain. Being able to click with a PAI who has maintenance access unlocked on a posibrain, and have the player transfer from one device to the other would be nice as a roboticist.

let mimes have all three of their basic mime powers instead of picking one

the wall is imo objectively the best choice from a gameplay perspective every time and i dont know if ive ever seen anyone use the box or chair, the opportunity cost is too much

bring back webspeak translating into emotes.
idk = shrug.
lol = minor chuckling.
wtf = ??

annoying to try to type quickly in Manuel and then get lectured about what I'm typing.

I've been playing and lurking for quite a while, on and off; maybe I was remembering another server/version, if so I apologise for my mistake.

You should be able to take off the key from the pimpin kart while not riding it (only if someone else already isn't riding it). on TOP of that, removing the key should put it on your hand, not the ground

Sound effect when someone writes a specific phrase in the chat (that the player can choose). So Ai can for example get notified when someone calls for it without having to stare at chat 24/7.

A button for Ai to swap levels. Basically what Xenobio already has when they use their monitors. Having to use the IC menu is annoying.

This by default is bound to pgup/pgdown, can rebind it in your hotkeys menu.

changelings should be able to update their disguises by re-stinging someone

changelings should be able to hold more than the 7 or 8 disguises they are currently allowed to, pain in the ass to lose your original person after stinging 8 or so people

IIRC this is intentional. It's made to force you to take on someone else's identity

correct

If you get hit by the tram while the grav gen is off it should force you down a Z level (right now it will just hit you repeatedly and basically insta kill you because of the recent damage buff)

This would kill you before the damage buff too, just slightly more slowly. The tram annihilates Space Dragons because they are never under gravity (IMO: very funny, and so worth retaining).

Man I really like the new progtot system and I think expanding part of it to all non-antag could really give players, especially lrp, more direction and player interactions. Progressive non-antag objectives like pray at chapel, eat pizza, take happiness drugs ect... that completing gives you mood/stamina and a letter in the mail and as the tasks become more and more specific, including job specific, gives better rewards/tasks

Sounds like a great fun idea

I wish we had a way to add door access that goes to a single id card. Like you take apart a door to a room in maint and then you can change the airlock electronics to only see you as the doors owner that can open it.

Then someone can be a "private investigator" ect and own the office

Give firelocks a very slightly longer grace period before closing after they're crowbarred open.

Although it's a bit funny, in cases where firelocks are over tables, if you try to crowbar or disarm the firelock, you don't have time to get over the table before it'll close again and crush you.

Also for situations like depressurization, spacewind, or just someone following behind you, the firelock closing so quickly can lock you out and be the difference between falling into crit in a spaced section of the station or escaping to safety.

What if we added a button on APC's next to night shift lighting that disabled/depowerd fire alarms/fire locks?

there should really be a way to check a defeated borg's laws like you can a carded AI

can be really hard to tell if a borg is shitting or breaking laws or purged or emagged or relawed

if people bashing emagged borgs to find the traitor in them is an issue then emagged/hack law borgs could have their checked laws as garbled so you cant tell who dunnit, just that the borg is indeed hacked

There is a tablet app that lets you check borg laws.
