so i was playing today and the game ended and it went put a banging donk on it and that got me thinking

new traitor item, a box full of "bangin-donks" they're basically reskinned IED's that look like donk pockets plus people will just think someone is throwing donk pockets (inconspicoius weaponry?) i dunno i thought it was a funny idea maybe you will like it maybe you wont

i was thinking maybe 6tc for a box of them tell me what you think

Nice idea.

thanks man

we already have way too many traitor items, so i'm unsure about this

Why are people so afraid of having "too many traitor items"
There's no defined upper limit, why are you acting like there is? Isn't variety a good thing?

because most of them just shit up the pda and make it hard to find the use3ful ones

just make a chameleon bomb that's like 1tc more than a normal minibomb but can be disguised as an item you click on with it, rather than a whole mess of disguised items that effectively do the same thing. If you want to make it a donk pocket, go nuts.
Attach a proximity sensor to it and disguise it as the captain's spare for lolz

There's a search bar.

Yeah man there's a search bar for the cooking crafting menu too, go tell me how that works out for you.

How about you remove useless shit, then? When was the last time anyone used a parapen? What about a camera bug? Airlock charges? Medical analyzer?

Parapen: Always
Camera bugs: They're bugged so fix them maybe but those are actually useless
Airlock charges: fucking instacrits the guy that touches it next why wouldn't you
medical analyzer: R&D.

Literally just split the menu into tabs
and you can add as much useless stuff to the uplink as you want

Yeah, I wouldn't expect you to actually know anything about the game.

And they could explode when eaten, increased explosion damage when warm. Or they could explode directly in the microwave, but that is not as fun

Please give us IED-disguised cigarettes too, speaking of this. Armed when lit; light one and put it into the package before throwing that for 'fun.'

Any enterprising chemist can already make those.

Wasn't there exploding cigars that looked identical to the Cap's special cigars? I'm kinda surprised we don't have e-cigs so people can vape and syndi e-cigs that have nanites or stimulants in them. Also blowgun disguised as cig/cigar that has one parapen dart in it.

Does the microwave actually heat things up?

I think not, you can only cook food in it. The only thing it "warms" are donk pockets

I buffed them to be actually useful

Is this seriously your "fix"?

That's not a fix, that's a lazy ass workaround. Now we have 13 tabs of food bullshit that you can only cycle one at a time, and no idea how far off "Pizzas" is from "Burgers"

I still hate the new UI overall but at least goof's workaround made it not cause massive lag/crashes

It's also the only fix until someone actually optimizes tgui for large lists at once.

I'll be honest I dislike it only showing 3 categories at a time, and I'll look into making it list all the categories.

Honestly those tabs wouldn't actually be that bad if it weren't for the 3 categories thing, that and the buttons change size with the text length so scrolling through them gets to be a bit of a pain in the ass.

Instead of text, would it be possible to replace them with icons, and just fit the whole mess of them on there?

Edit:
Something like this

Tribal one should be tottally a pickaxe and a shovel crossed

Yeah I dunno I just grabbed icons at random and don't remember half the shit that was supposed to be a category off the top of my head.

This is literally the best suggestion I've ever seen.
