Bottom post of the previous page:

Add more useful wires for APC's.

Currently only 3/10 wires have a use and that is really awful:
  • Short Wire
  • ID Scan
  • AI control
I'd like to see wires added that control the on/off states for the following on an individual basis:
  • Equipment
  • Lighting
  • Environment
  • Night shift lighting
This would allow us to craft light & dimmer buttons in game which would be a small QoL for nerds like me that enjoy building.

add wedding rings
wedding rings can't be removed, when you examine the dude wearing a ring you see who his ligger husband is, to apply them just slap person a with the ring, then person b with the same ring, wala they're now married and the ring is gone.
go into whatever slot or no slot at all, just a permanent addition to examine

I doubt this would be that hard to add, will todo list it

edit: note to self (and possibly others if they woudl rather do it)
to make this you need to insert a menu for a new syndicate cart here: https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/ ... rt.dm#L210 (as well as the cart itself and an uplink entry)
then, under topic here, you need to make a thing that handles input-able text (one for a fake name string and one for a fake job string). do something like what the status display cart does here
handled text cna be sent to host_pda.fakename and host_pda.fakejob (both vars you have to make on the pda object in pda.dm)
in pda.dm, you need to add a button to actually get to the pda menu you made by inserting it into this block: https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/ ... DA.dm#L233
also in pda.dm you need to edit the messaging code to look for a fake name/job and pass that to the message signal if one exists (otherwise just pass the normal name/job like it already does). note that the signal is created here. you wanna do something like "sent_name = name, if fakename exists then sent_name = fakename instead" and then replace "owner" in the signal creation block with sent_name
i think this should do it

I think I saw a round on Kilo Station where all the cultists were killed before they go the cult symbol above their head, but the cult went out hard killing about 2 people for every cultist.
So medbay ended up cloning the dead, most of those they cloned were cultists. Cult then made a comeback and won.

Jokeresque laughing gas as a traitor item for the clown. It could be a new chem that they put in their flower to spray people with. It would make the victim laugh like the laughter chem except it would deal either toxin damage, or brute damage to the face (like strain from laughing too hard.)

Dissecting cadavers should give more research points for each positive / rare mutation it has. Might be a good way to encourage using dissection more, and do more stuff with genetics? ^^

Make it so the emergency medical holodeck program can summon an Emergency Medical Hologram doctor that is drawn from ghosts and has objectives to follow the Hippocratic oath.

On spawning it will say "please state the nature of your medical emergency" they are always bald.

Would more positive mutations be a good idea? I had an idea for an electrokinesis one; it'd basically let you use your bare hands as an inducer, draining your nutrition / fullness to recharge stuff.

So much yes, also give them big feet so their feet hurt if they wear non-clown shoes. Clowns who take off their shoes are heretics.

1. HUD buttons (like there are for flashlights, some implants etc) for medipens (epipens, survivalpens, stimpacks etc), if they are in hands, in pocket slots or any other accessible slot.
2. Allow activation of these items in soft crit (like with dental implants), when said items are in active slots.
