Reverse-pickpocketing an inactive grenade into someone's pocket should prime it for activation. (Walk up to someone, plant a minibomb in their pocket, then run.)

By the time you've finished planting it into their pocket usually, it'll explode. It's not good to have grenades explode in your face.

Hmm, mouse corpses are items so should already be canon loadable.

I knew someone would say this, so I had a counter point prepared.

Heads have to go to their office to make the announcement, the AI just does it with a command or at worst blinks to a console.

Heads can use the request consoles to make department announcements, AI can only do announcements from the comms console.

A radical idea - remove used slime cores. They serve no purpose other than obstructing the previous monkey cubes/potions and taking space.

The only purpose they really serve is to leave evidence behind when some dingus pops 10,000 gold slimes. I think having used slime cores only exist for harmful slimes (such as oil and gold) but not exist for others is a great way to prevent clutter.

Add a "Deputy" job to the job console.

Really basic sec access (like the detective/lawyer) with its own job icon (sec officer but in civilian grey?), so HoSes can allow HoPs to give them some civilian muscle whilst still keeping it easy to tell at a glance that this person isn't to be trusted fully.

Brig, Holding Cells and Maintenance, maybe.

I would say no brig timers by default, like the detective.

Everybody would just stamp their own then. You got a box of medals already.

Maybe use one of them as a die or a mold

Let traitors order a surplus tactical clothing bundle that includes typical AWPerative clothing, sans military belt (including de-activated NVGs, no night vision, and a damaged syndie headset so it no longer protects from flashbangs or has a key) for a few TCs.

better yet, boobytrapped versions of syndie items that backfire on the user in some way, like a gas mask that locks around the wearer's head and suffocates them. Would kill the "lol random search what's this gas mask in your bag better just test if it's a voicechanger" meta.
Edit: possibly make them harmless-but-useless for the person that spawned them via the uplink, so searches don't just turn into "make this person wear all their shit to see if they die".

edit edit: also fake night-vision-mesons that instantly blind the wearer, hue

A sharpening block, applicable to any item but only usable once. Raises the item's force/throwforce by 5, gives it the SHARP flag, and appends the word "sharpened" to its title.

Give it to traitors or the chef or something for a good time.

I would not be allowed to add bluespace magboots, but Diagnostic implants were something I considered, but passed on them as I assumed that no one would ever bother with them. I rarely even see the Robos take the two HUDs from their lockers ;_;
