Lets take bets on how long until the server is flooded with even more shitty character gimmicks, this time involving smelling bad. Fuck lizard players probably get turned on by this shit.

If it was added for the "realism" argument, then lets make one gunshot kill/knockout someone. Then it'll be more realistic, right??!

As a gun nut I feel I have to point out what others most likely have, it's kind of a crap shoot if a gunshot actually incapacitates someone quickly. It all depends on shot placement, robustness of the individual, luck, etc. Even someone shot in the heart could live long enough to shoot you back if the shock of it didn't take them down. It's also the only reason shotguns are any good. Shotguns are big, heavy, high recoil, easy to short shuck on a pump and somewhat easy to jam on an automatic, not easy to shoot well, each projectile causes less trauma and overpenetrates compared to a rifle. But in a single shot you get 9-30ish chances depending on shot size to hit something vital compared to 1, that's their advantage.

On topic: Hygiene was a bad idea and all it does is add a distracting overlay. It doesn't add anything to gameplay and if you care enough to get rid of it you just need 1 click on a shower and it instantly goes away. One time back on NOX they added shit to the game and that was more immersive than hygene. And that was so dumb and terrible that even NOX removed it after a week.

have you actually played since hygiene was added because I feel like the wacky people that post about it keep missing the part where its not just one click because they havn't played and thus didn't notice the second change I added

I've played the last few days. When the stinky cloud appeared it took 1 click from a shower and it instantly went away. That's the extent of the impact it's ever had on a round for me.

Yeah. It's such an empty feature that I can't even properly hate it. There's literally nothing here to hate. It's a stinky cloud sprite that has no effect and takes no effort to remove anyway. Why was it added? What does it do? Answers inconclusive.

Hygiene itself doesn't, it does generate miasma but it takes awhile for it to actually have any effect on a person. at least in the current game. Now that scrubbers will no longer be scrubbing miasma by default there may be a more noticeable effect from miasma buildup from improper body storage and other miasma generators like gibs.

It still should have a negative effect in the person who is dirty and mostly be a consequence of walking around covered in blood or vomit or something, If you arent knee deep in the dead you really shouldn't need to take a shower after 30 minutes of activity.

As long as people don't get banned/bwoinked for staying dirty (since it spawns miasma which can spread disease) it's good by me

can coders stop trying to fucking ruin any hope of an admin away mission without it being ruined by shit like this
Spoiler:
Qustinnus, I do not know how you shower but here is a pop quiz on how I think you do it
A. You shower normally and know that if you accidently had some socks on or a headset then you would still be clean
B. You go completely naked, which is normal, however you do it because you think that you would never be able to get clean otherwise if you had even ONE sock on.

I hope you pick A because that means there's a bug where you can't shower at all unless you take LITERALLY EVERYTHING OFF. If you picked B then that is the most autistic thing I have ever heard.
tl;dr you can't shower without taking EVERYTHING off. No shoes, backpacks, headsets, cigars, or scarves allowed. If this is an intended feature then I would prefer if you remove the fucking shower debuff atleast or just remove this retarded part of hygiene in general. Give us a god damn break, Qustinnus. People like survival simulators. People even like life simulators however who wants to fucking play ss13 to not only take a shower but remove EVERY ARTICLE OF CLOTHING to take said shower. This is not a HRP server, Qustinnus. It should be MRP at best and this is not a fucking MRP feature at all.

It's actually getting so autistic that despite me knowing that this isn't fetish content, I can definitely see it being considered as fetish content.

Well duh doy, if showering was so simple then the feature would be too easy to ignore. But again, being dirty is entirely cosmetic, it doesn't affect mood, miasma takes a long time to spawn and it wouldn't even affect you if you move out of the cloud fast enough

if it's cosmetic then why is it so god damn annoying?
when have you ever been unable to get clean from washing your hands because you accidently wore glasses? I can get someone not getting clean while having a jumpsuit and armor vest on however a fucking backpack and shoes prevents me from getting clean? Do I have the fucking downs?!

You are already getting people to leave their workplace to take a shower. Alright. Now you want them to completely remove all clothes to take a shower. So what exactly do event characters or anyone with an impossible-to-remove clothing item do then?

I don't want admin events to be fucking ruined into nothing all because of dumb bullshit that they can't prevent. It would be fine to see someone go onto an away mission an admin made and then completely destroy the full thing however it's just annoying if video game code fucking does it without player interaction at all.

edit: also, hygiene wouldn't actually ruin admin events into nothing however it sure would fucking be annoying as hell to do something cool however you forgot to include 50 showers while making sure you can quickly un-curse and re-curse an item so no one steals it

What exactly is annoying about it, the sprite? Then complain about the sprite. There is no game mechanic that is negatively affected by hygiene. If you want to shower, you're doing it for RP reasons. And since you're doing it for RP, you're supposed to shower like normal people do, i.e. naked. People don't shower with their fucking AirPods in.

Yes, it's the fucking sprite. It's like the fear of miasma except stinking doesn't create atmos gas that can fuck over shit if given enough time (except indirectly it does). In order to make said sprite not be an issue, I'd basically have to go "yo, can you just remove the negative part of stinking????" which I doubt Qustinnus would ever fucking do since that defeats his PR. Even if the sprite was lowered to a less visible level, I think it would still cause issue since who the fuck wants that?

If the sprite is really easy to delete from a few characters or something then fine. If not then jesus fucking christ just kill me with this bullshit.

There's one upside to this Jerry Derp.

Traitor Camo as a shower in the bathroom, and when the HOS gets naked. You e-bow them and swirlie them to death, they won't be able to defend themselves or call for help as their headset and all of their gear would be off.

Lethal Kill 100


It's really weird how PRs like these are enforcing a higher standard of Arepee when the rules aren't, though.

Code-Base and Admin Separation is really jarring

Seriously though, this is a bigger downside than literally anything else I have seen on the server. Wanna not look autistic? better risk EVERYTHING YOU HAVE or else. Yes, you can be smart and have it all in a backpack but you still risk everything you have.

Good God it keeps on getting worse. You have to be completely naked and in shower? Really? So far I’ve spent half my round with the “im a fucking idiot I showered with my clothes on” debuff since I slipped into one coming out of medbay. Its just asking people to be robbed. Shit like this doesn’t encourage roleplay or make the game more fun. Its a pointless addition that, from what I can tell, a majority of the playerbase dislikes.

This new mechanic just isn't fun, for a couple of reasons:
I. In the context of the rest of the game, having to strip all your clothes off is just not practical (unless you're the virologist/CMO and can use the decontamination shower) -- everyone is rightly afraid of getting griefed, and BYOND's clunky interface makes undressing and redressing a pain. Also, not all maps have showers in all departments.
II. Since people can't practically wash off the stink, the clouds are just a big annoying eyesore and encouragement for people to shout YOU STINK at eachother.
III. Edit: Just learned miasma makes disease! But it feels like it's impossible to keep up with all these random plagues as medbay.

After this point, I speak not as a critic but as an aspiring game designer.

II is mainly a side effect of I. So, what can we do to address I? It depends on what the goal of the hygiene system is. I can think of three; whoever's behind the hygiene system, feel free to chime in and correct me:
A. Realism!
B. Memes about NEETs and neat freaks!
C. Catching someone when they shower adds another way for antags to do their thing.

Solution 1: If the point of hygiene is to allow people to RP neat freaks or slobs, I can think of a fix that keeps this without being as annoying to everyone else:
*Characters with neither quirk don't use the hygiene system.
*Characters with the neat freak quirk do suffer from hygiene, but they get a positive mood when clean, they don't make miasma and only they can see the stink clouds on themselves: They're only dirty to their own exacting standards, after all, they look clean to everyone else. The inconvenience of stripping and showering on Space Station 13 is their own choice, the challenge they have to complete to keep their mood bonus.
*Characters with the NEET trait... okay, I can't think of how to make this fun for everyone. 'they get a mood bonus for being stinky' seems meh, and 'hygiene applies to them and generates miasma' will be used for them to grief everyone else with miasma, and possibly to coworkers cuffing them and dragging them to the showers. This needs workshopping.

Solution 2: If the point of hygiene is realism... Honestly, I don't feel it is realistic. SS13 shifts are usually 1-2 hours. If you're doing a relatively sedentary job you're not getting that dirty that fast; if you have a very active job you're probably okay with being sweaty for an hour or two. I suppose it COULD make sense to apply for someone who's been covered an alien goo or vomited on or something. Still, if you want to nod to realism while compromising with playability, you'd need to do several things:
*Showering in clothes counts for hygiene. Removing them is not good gameplay.
*Showering in clothes does not give you a negative mood.
*Change the maps to make sure there are accessible showers in every department.

Solution 2a: Make stinky status and having to shower nude very rare. It shouldn't be something that can happen to most of a department at once; maybe a few people a round at most. We don't want lines forming outside the one shower on the map where everyone has to stop doing their jobs and be extra paranoid about their stuff. Also, every player dealing with it every shift is an annoyance; it being a sort of event (or inflicted by a rare enemy?) that can happen to someone once in awhile is more of a challenge players can engage with.

Solution 3: If the point of hygiene is to give antags another way to catch their victims at a vulnerable point... I can see a few ways to engage with this:
*Solution 2a, above, sort of works for this too. Of course, your target won't always be the one hit with a stink-causing event, but when they are, what a happy accident!
*Stink could be something player-caused. However, in this case it needs to be rare enough that every round doesn't consist of the clowntide spreading stink around everywhere. However, if it's rare and player-caused, that might make it obvious that if you get stinkbombed, someone is after you and planning to ambush you in the shower. This needs workshopping.
*Instead of requiring stripping clothes, add a special interaction with showers, 'take shower', that takes a few seconds to complete, and leaves you unable to use any slots except your hands for a few seconds when finished or interrupted (the same status effect might make stripping faster for anyone trying to remove your gear, too.) This is functionally the same as what we have now but removes the tedious clicking and makes gear a bit less likely to be stolen.
*Solution 1 sort of helps here; Sometimes your target will be a neat freak, and then you'll get to ambush them in the shower if you want.

Solution 4: Just remove hygiene. The game was fine before it. (This also applies to any argument of 'just ignore it it doesn't really matter lol' -- if people are supposed to ignore it, why have it in the first place?)

Edit: The disease angle is an interesting idea, but as it is it feels like it's impossible for medbay to keep up. Changes that make the stink rarer might alleviate this anyway; another possibility I can think of is to limit the spread of these diseases to people who are themselves unclean, and possibly give them a chance to cure on their own after an infectee gets clean.

I hope that whoever designed the hygiene system finds this post helpful.

"If people are supposed to ignore it why have it in the first place"

They're not supposed to ignore it, but they can ignore it with almost negligible consequences. Not every single feature in the game is mandatory to play. Just think for a second, if Qustinnus didn't want people to ignore it, all he had to do was make bad hygiene give a bad mood. Instead, he chose to make it so the worst thing that can happen is miasma after a very long time which has a ridiculously remote chance to negatively affect you (even if you get a virus, it's likely that curing it will be still faster than showering). Not only that, but he even added a trait that rewards you for ignoring hygiene.

I'm going to remove the automatic draining of hygiene and make the sprite less obstructive, I might lower miasma rates and I'm going to nerf the NEET trait. The mapping problem isn't my problem, because I'm not going to edit 8 maps, either the maintainers should cull non-maintained maps or the map maintainers should update the maps.

Besides that, I have enough solutions to problems in this thread (such as cleaning foam not cleaning players) and most of those are bugs. Posting in this thread like I'm purposefully avoiding things like that is an epic gamer way of making sure I'll ignore your posts.

No, adding moodlets to hygiene would cause negative reactions because the showering change would go from "receiving a buff is harder" to "removing a debuff is harder"

This is by far the ugliest "feature" to the game I've seen since kor's big white hole. Admins spawned a bunch of mobs on centcom for a meme and by the time the shuttle arrived, they were all stinky af and you couldn't see shit. Why is this in our game? What on earth drove you to add stink to SS13?

I like the context of the PR as forcing people to occasionally take a shower encourages people moving around the station more, thus promoting antagonistic opportunity

What I don't like is that getting dirty feels like it happens way too fast, last time I played I feel like I had to go take a shower every few minutes, even while not dirty. I got hungry less often then I had to shower, which doesn't really reflect well any sort of "realism" or sensibility. I think the hygiene timer ticks could stand to increment just a little slower, more on par with hunger.

Perhaps if you explained what the goal of the hygiene system is, it would make players more understanding and generate more useful suggestions -- as it is, people can only spam 'remove hygiene' or provide suggestions based on guesses.

Q has said they'll fix the sprites and draining already, so it's probably best to save feedback on those fronts until that's done

I get the impression their goal is to ram through shitty features, dunno why. Probably retaliation for removing catgirls, the coders are mostly degenerates like that.

This clearly doesn't fit tg's playstyle, like many things being forced on anyone. And they don't care whether you coded byond yourself, they just use the coding excuse to tell players to fuck off. They'll move the goalposts for you if you actually can code. Also design isn't a part of development, because reasons.

Hygiene kinda just seems like extra tedium that only really results in someone going to the showers for a nanosecond shower. I'm just glad that mining has a bathroom now. The only major interactiosn i really see from this is maybe someone waiting in the bathrooms to assassinate someone.

I mean, anyone can make a PR to tweak how hygiene works, or even remove it, and Qustinnus wouldnt have any say on it, only maintainers. That's what "design isn't part of development" means. So there's no point in inquiring about the "goal" behind this change, or getting angry at Qustinnus like he's supposed to tweak it to fit some non-existant "design".

Having to get naked for showers is clearly going to turn us into an ERP server; just you wait! I already caught two people laying down and rolling around on each other in the showers naked.

on a more serious note:
I like the idea of encouraging people to move around a bit more, not sure how possible this is but, what if showering fully clothed works, it just takes 10 seconds of showering instead of 1.
Definitely reduce the speed at which stink accumulates though. Or just take hygiene out and make people get hungry a lot faster; most rounds I don't even need to eat anything.

An additional bit of feedback now that I know that this system is the reason for all the sick people running around: I play medbay, and it is super concerning to see that disease HUD indicator on so many people. It makes it look like we've had a rogue virologist release multiple diseases on the station. We can't make a vaccine because every stinky person has a different disease. People who come in with these diseases tend to run off without being cured -- that's one thing when there is a single disease outbreak, and we can try to fight it by distributing vaccines and immunizing everyone -- but here, it's a bunch of different diseases, and as soon as we've made a vaccine for one, two or three more have popped up. I could suggest ways to fix this, but see below. In any case, it's a bad experience for medbay players that needs to be addressed.

No. You don't get to unilaterally break the game if you're not willing to do the work to fix it. "This feature would be great if other people did stuff" does not make the feature great. They aren't doing the stuff -- you're doing stuff which is making the game better or worse. What you have here is called a 'design constraint'; any change going in immediately needs to work with the maps as-is. If you have a really cool idea that requires map changes, and you're not willing to do them, you're going to need to work with a mapper to implement them. Teamwork, it makes the dream work!

True; I don't fully understand the code yet, but if I did I could edit it the same as anyone else. And that would lead to what? In this hypothetical, Qustinnus and I fighting over conflicting versions of hygiene, not talking to eachother, and... I'm not sure how that resolves, does the code keep going back and forth or what?

Anyway, it's true that SS13 isn't like a commercial game with a roadmap for development and a lead designer making decisions. (This is why I felt qualified to make a suggestion. Were this a commercial game, there'd be all sorts of factors I was unaware of, like things that were internally tested and dismissed, or whether they could afford the dev or art or whatever time to deal with a feature and still meet release schedule and budget, etc etc etc. It'd be super annoying of me to make armchair suggestions without being aware of the devteam's exact situation.)

That doesn't mean changes are made at random, though -- anyone who edits the code and adds a feature has a reason. Presumably, they're trying to make the game more fun. 'Fun' isn't the same as 'easy'; Obviously we like a challenge or we wouldn't play such a complex game. I'm not the only one who has identified a possible 'point' to the hygiene system.

But we can't have a useful discussion if the guy making the hygiene changes won't tell us WHY. Then we're just talking at cross-purposes -- he's frustrated because our suggestions go against what he's trying to achieve -- but what we all want is a better game!

So come on, let's have a useful discussion. Qustinnus may or may not be able to achieve his goal -- sometimes, in game design, what you thought would be a fun idea turns out not to be fun once you code and test it. -- But we can't help him find out if his idea is fun or not if he won't tell us what his idea is.

I think part of the issue with miasma diseases is that they appear too frequently, and are mostly distracting rather than harmful.

I'm not sure whether it's the hygiene or the miasma disease rate contributing more. It also screws over any healing viruses since they have low stats and can be easily overridden.

I hope I wasn't too off topic.

why are there people posting as if I murdered their children in this thread. I already said I'll change a variety of the points but if all you have to post is "
You're goof 2" or "this is catgirl revenge" you must be autistic and I won't bother reading your posts because your suggestions are probably as vile as your post in general.

Anyways you can either wait for the improvement PR or start a shitstorm like moodlets but I won't bother listening to any of the retards that can only shit on me.


Also Denton no shit. This is why oranges needs to kill off all the maps that have no people updating them. The coders don't want to edit 7~ maps and then hope nothing conflicts while the PR is up.

Clearly, you won't bother reading our posts no matter what we say.

if you think that after me posting 3 times that there'll be an improvement PR and multiple posts that contain things I'll change I'm ignoring all posts youre clearly dumb.

Not everyone knows how to do that. I eventually did find it, so for anyone else wondering, here it is: https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/41986

The relevant section is here:
Qustinnus wrote:This doesn't affect mood so plssss dont strawman in this PR about how I'm forcing you to shower or die or whatever

This PR is mostly visual and will allow for people to judge others for literaly being smelly as hell.

also NEET and neat traits which interact with being smelly. (neat likes hygiene, dislikes lack of it. NEETs like lack of hygiene and get some social welfare (20 bucks))
He has promised changes:
Qustinnus wrote:I'm going to remove the automatic draining of hygiene and make the sprite less obstructive, I might lower miasma rates and I'm going to nerf the NEET trait.
Now this, we can engage with!

What is the behavior, exactly, that you're trying to encourage people to judge? Running around in bloody clothes? It does affect mood though, when players stand under the shower and toggle it to clean the blood off their clothes, they get a negative mood. Taking off your clothes, showering them on the same tile, and putting the wet clothes back on is still putting wet clothes on and a needless extra step to avoid a mood that isn't well-integrated with this system. You could force us all to actually use the laundry system but I don't think anyone will be happy about it.

If bloody clothes are the main thing that ticks hygiene, this does feel like it mainly focuses on medbay, who are too busy trying to save lives and keep people in the game to immediately clean up when someone drags a body to cloning without using a bodybag or rollerbed. And if a lot of bodies come in in sequence, they may never have time to get around to it. Although, if we could find a way to encourage people to use those, I'd be all for it! I hate how messy medbay is, although I'm more concerned about the blood trails goddamn everywhere than whether our shoes and labcoats are bloodstained. (I wish people couldn't just waltz on in but sooner or later someone unlocks the front doors)

I've complained about the diseases, but lowering miasma rates might make that more reasonable, I look forward to finding out.

If you want to have a trait that makes people extra stinky and encourages us to make fun of them for it, I don't see a big problem with that -- they did opt into the trait, after all. As long as it can't be used to grief -- it's bad enough when the clown hangs around playing the same 5 second song over and over again, now imagine if the clown was also stinky and could infect you with diseases by doing that? That is not something anyone wants to deal with.

Likewise, if the hygiene system bothers people with the Neat trait, they opted into that and that's fine.

In short, I think it would help everyone deal with this system if it was clearer exactly what things are being 'punished' with inflicting hygiene. Not just on the immediate level ('not taking showers') but on the meta level ('the reason it's ticking down so fast is your clothes are dirty, and the reason your clothes are dirty is your workplace has blood and trash everywhere, clean it up'). I'd say maybe have it come with a HUD element that on mouseover tells you what's making you dirtier, but that might run into the problems you're trying to avoid by not making it a mood. But one way or another, people need a clear understanding of what they're doing that's encouraging others to call them stinky, and they have to have a real choice to not do that thing. 'You have a choice to not stop playing the game, go across the map, and risk your stuff getting stolen' isn't really a choice. 'You have a choice NOT to grab a body bag before dragging a bloody body through medbay' is a little more grippable, although in that case it'd help if we put a box of body bags in medbay lobby (Maybe there already is one and I didn't notice!)

So, are there some examples of what behaviors you're trying to punish here?
Qustinnus wrote:The mapping problem isn't my problem, because I'm not going to edit 8 maps, either the maintainers should cull non-maintained maps or the map maintainers should update the maps.
This is still wrong, though. You're the one making the change; Claiming negative results are other people's fault because they didn't do work that they never agreed to do to support your change doesn't look good. The informal nature of SS13 development cuts both ways -- People aren't being paid to follow some roadmap, and this means they won't follow you unless they want to.

Encouraging people to focus more on not doing the things that make them need to shower after such a short time (this is a 1-2 hour shift, it's not like they're going days without showering) rather than just hitting them with 'Hey, you're stinky now! Go do something that's a pain in the ass to get rid of it!' could, I think, solve both problems -- people will feel like it's less foisted on them if they have a reasonable chance to avoid triggering stink, and if they can avoid the stink before getting to the point that they need to shower, map accessibility of showers won't matter as much.

Edit: Quick addendum: Avoiding the stink shouldn't be ultra-tedious, either. I've seen HRP servers where they expect you to wash every item you're wearing and every surgery tool before and after surgery. Not only is this boring and tedious as shit, this is just not compatible with /tg/station's fast-paced gameplay. Don't try to turn /tg/station into that.

https://tgstation13.org/phpBB/viewtopic ... remove+map

I'm going by this thread and I won't stop because either the people maintaining the maps can do their job or we can go back to 1 map. I realize you dont dev in dreammaker but updating 7 maps in a PR is aids and will probably kill a PR. If they "never agreed to do the work" then they shouldnt be making maps for TG.


like for real oranges can we get a refresher on if anything from that thread will happen? I'd love to stop this shitty stagnation on most features because im apparently super lazy because I wont maintain 7 maps for each and every feature I put out.

I agree, fixing map merge conflicts is aboutas fun as root canal surgery.

I just think that if your PR makes map changes necessary, you should either include them in the PR or coordinate with someone who makes those changes for you.
Otherwise we get situations like stinky ghost roles which are unpleasant for everyone involved.

the entire ghost role thing was just a mistake on my part and I'm going to adress quite a few of the larger issues with hygiene hopefully.
