anomaly slimes need a nerf
Anomaly slime can destroy the round for everyone by killing gravy APC, SM APC and silo + vault APC (if vault has been bolted when APC died the station is fucked for real long time) also slime can easily kill AI on most of the maps via vent crawl + killing its APC (slime take no damage from turrets and can't be stun)

Re: anomaly slimes need a nerf
Nightmare is a similarly common midround that can do all that and then some, and is actually incredibly robust on top of that.
A slime - even a smart one - just gets hosed by the first person they see with an extinguisher. They're already weak as shit.

Slimes being able to break apcs and machines doesnt really make much sense.

Re: anomaly slimes need a nerf
Yeah I would much more prefer is the slime could procreate (split) and switch between the bodies like slime person but at the same time it couldn't attack machines. It would encourage slime to actually vore people instead of being a little shitter. Currently there is no point in eating anyone if you are at 100% HP.

Re: anomaly slimes need a nerf
Also admeme asked me to not do this on Manuel again. I literally ended the round with a single slime spawn, to prove my point. And yeah, it doesn't takes any robustness, just a dedication to be a total shitter. But at the same time there is no RP guidelines for slimes and how smart they are. Killing gravitation give slime combat advantage. Killing SM APC give slime more bros. And killing AI gives it the totally cheesy ass points

Re: anomaly slimes need a nerf
btw. If I was an engineer and I knew that a gamer slime on the loose I would attach cooler to both vents and scrubbers network. It will stun and kill slime every time since it can't get out from the network when freezing. Slime counter play would be first coming near a vent and making sure you don't get cold damage and if not jump in and be the gamer you are. But if you do take damage then it is time to hide in a warm place for like 10-20 minutes. Engies eventually will turn the freezers off because entire station gonna get real cold and maybe slippery.

It takes like 1-2 minutes to permanently fuck entire station for the slime. The crew doesn't have time to weld them + it's not like they perceive anomaly slime as a super gamer antag.

Re: anomaly slimes need a nerf
I think using the supermatter to create infinite antagonists that quite easily kill people is pretty lame and shouldn't be a thing. Slimes have no right to be able to break machinery either that's superlame.
Slimes aren't that horrible to deal with though, there's a few solutions.
Firstly, you can RCD around important structures like APCs and air alarms so they cant badly sabotage the supermatter.
Secondly is welding the vents in engineering so they can't get out, this one works pretty well.
Third one is exposing most of the engine room to space. This will kill almost all the slimes that spawn but is time intensive and makes SM pretty uninhabitable.
Fourth is the temperature gun. It's basically the purpose of the gun, it's in armoury and can be mass printed out at sec techlathes with the right research. Hitting a slime with 2 freeze beams is enough to totally immobilise it.
Honestly player controlled pyro anomaly slimes are dumb and shouldn't be a thing.

Re: anomaly slimes need a nerf
To be honest, the best way to get something nerfed is just to abuse it until people no longer find it funny.
Y'know, kill the AI and break the comms consoles over and over and kill anyone who tries to fix it
It's super easy to kill the AI. Hell, the turret lasers will heal you.

Maybe you should neutralize the anomaly before it spawns a slime then.

Re: anomaly slimes need a nerf
Well my dudes I did it:
Then the second admeme piled on and:You have been banned by JusticeGoat from Roles: Sentience Potion Spawn, Abductor, Xenomorph, Blob, Blood Brother, Changeling, Cultist, Devil, Internal Affairs Agent, Malf AI, Monkey, Operative, Syndicate Mutineer, Revolutionary, Revenant, Head Revolutionary, Syndicate, Traitor, Wizard.
Reason: Takes the pyro anomaly slime to destroy important apc\'s to end the round very often. Take a break from doing this, abusing a antag to get change is the wrong way to do things.
This ban is temporary, it will be removed in 1 week. The round ID is 129941.
To appeal this ban go to https://tgstation13.org/phpBB/viewforum.php?f=7
Now the question is. Should I appeal this ban because it is a feature or should I be banned for abusing the bugYou have been banned by Shaps from the server.
Reason: Taking anomaly slimes to immediately run around destroying station infrastructure in bad faith hoping that someone will change the thing. Has said in his own thread on the forums that an admin has told him not to do this in the future, which he confirmed in ahelps. Multiple poor conduct notes in a short time, if you want to make a change to the code, learn how to contribute to the github.
This ban is temporary, it will be removed in 2 days. The round ID is 129941.

Re: anomaly slimes need a nerf
Had to get it to the next level. At least I can be proud to be so robust of a slime that I got double banned
Imagine if this "You have been banned by JusticeGoat from Roles: Sentience Potion Spawn, Abductor, Xenomorph, Blob, Blood Brother, Changeling, Cultist, Devil, Internal Affairs Agent, Malf AI, Monkey, Operative, Syndicate Mutineer, Revolutionary, Revenant, Head Revolutionary, Syndicate, Traitor, Wizard." doesn't cover anomaly slimes. Can one resists...

Re: anomaly slimes need a nerf
Ok I have an idea.
Fuck the pyroclastic anomaly slime. The fire that the anomaly starts is bad enough. Spawning sentient slime adds totally unpredictable level of threat to it. And from the slime perspective you spawn half the time in space or maints without vents that also sucks big time. Also you are some kind of a strange slime that can't evolve and shit.
For the SM slimes I propose spawning actually normal slimes so engineering can cooperate with xenobio in breeding them. It will reduce the xenobio chore and provide interesting interplay between departments. It will also increase the reward for risky SM setups which is much welcome since energy is cheap and TEG are way way way better and safer at it. Also someone might end up building whole xenobio lab around SM - sounds epic.
Yeah and all slimes shouldn't be able to attack APC and shit.

I do know that "normal" people. First open issue. And if it acknowledged they open a PR where they reference the issue it fixes (GitHub has special linking mechanism for it) Alternatively you open a PR without issue and hope that it will get merged. But what you DO NOT DO is opening PR for issue that was rejected. Welcome to GitHub btwCobby wrote:do you know what a pr is

Re: anomaly slimes need a nerf
Waaait a second. It doesn't look like SM spawns slimes at all. Only anomalies. So I guess the red slimes around SM I remember was usual pyroclastic ones? Not a problem anyway. I'll make it spawn random slimes. Probably only T1, or maybe with more SM power you should get better slimes. And if they won't be sentient then there is no problem with smashing APC and stuff. But then sentient slimes are kinda cool... Hmm Actually given that they will be farmed making them sentient kinda sucks. Also creating special case for slimes like "all the mobs can attack APC but not slimes" only because there are events that spawn sentient slimes sucks even more. Hmmm hmmm. At the same time if SM spawns a sentient slime and it escapes and starts to trash station it is pretty much engies fault since you just need to weld vents and scrubbers. And given that engies are farming them for cores - it provides a pretty good RP reason for slime to be grumpy as hell. And it's not like we force ghost to play a farm slime. Yes to the murdering sentient slimes and putting them into the grinder while they are making sad faces!

Re: anomaly slimes need a nerf
Careful how ya go about this. Take into account how good xenobio stuff is, be careful not to cheapen it.
I would also caution you against not removing either sentience or obj damage, as if engi does not farm the slimes we will be in the same position as we are now.
