hackbunny posted:Thanks to my fellow miners for the best mining/scavenging round ever. First time ever I've seen 1) a full complement of miners, 2) working together, 3) sending poo poo back to the main station, 4) without casualties (except the guy who got lost in space). SYNERGIZE! Yeah, that was a blast! I was incredibly nervous the entire round because I'd never explored the space area around the Faint Signal station. The highlight for me was the merchant shuttle with all the crushers. That place made me VERY nervous. But I successfully opened one of the code-locked crates to find...cats. Who promptly scattered, managed to avoid the crusher and instead all eventually wandered onto the outgoing cargo conveyor and got shot into space. Another salvager located them later, forever spinning in the void. And I did find the lost chief engineer later, dead in one of the derelicts to unknown causes, but it was too close to round end to borg him. Especially with the self-destruct nuke going off. In unrelated news, stable mutagen appears to be bugged again, please fix. I've got some gimmick ideas.

Seems as though robotic arms instant-handcuff breaking does not work anymore. Neither do treads! Bummer.

Can you do anything else to lugtop computers other than prying out the battery? If you could fit them with a network card and deploy them on top of a data port for connection, they'd be pretty fun for having a portable, silent and anonymous hotline with the (subverted) AI. Or just untrackable sources of printer spam for persecuted revolutionaries.

I suspect you probably can get them to connect, don't they have a built-in wireless card? Set that to the frequency of the mainframe's network radio, pop in a DWAINE disk and run a term_ping.

Well, at least the Polymorph mutation is around, if you want to imitate people. Part of what I miss about old Genetics though, were the UI injectors...you could have someone looking like you super quick! That and monkey injectors.

Deadmeat5150 posted:Cloaking unit + grinders in the hallway. Genius. The last time I did this the round went for over an hour because all the head ID's got gibbed and the AI was killed by somebody else. Standing nearby and watching people endlessly run right into the grinders never gets old, especially when they see gibs and blood all over and pause for a bit, then run in anyways.

Speaking of Dwaine: Sundance Feely wasn't happy with just killing his targets. What he did was stun them and drag them to the AI core and bucklecuff them to beds he had built there, declaring it to be a HoS mandated nuke sleepover party. Sadly he couldn't figure out the terminal and he and his accomplice ended up beating all of the hostages to death before he managed to actually blow up the nuke

Blhue posted:That was great. I was AI that game and deciding whether to alert the crew or feign ignorance since they were cloaked was a really difficult choice. But the fact that watching it was funny as hell made the choice for me. In my experience, it wouldn't have mattered if you had. I remember a round where someone set them up on the way to escape, just after a set of doors. People yelling over the intercom about them, a veritable sea of gibs visible, me ignoring the doors and slowly breaking through the grills with my fists to bypass them, and still everyone charged straight through and were gibbed.

I make it a point of always rescuing spacers in distress, because it's the most infuriating way to die/get stuck You'll know I'm playing miner in a given turn if the indy pods have been named things like PUSSY WAGON or PLASMA BITCH

NiftyBottle posted:In my experience, it wouldn't have mattered if you had. This is true. Someone built a completely visible crusher in the hallway, and despite my (as AI) friendly reminders that crushers are not Friendly and are in fact hazardous to human happiness; someone immediately followed this announcement up by saying "AI, watch this!" and then running straight in to be gibbed. I made sure to thank the janitors that round. They did a good job cleaning up the (repeated) mess.

Question, what is the cap for amount of reagent a person's body can contain? And also, how much does that amount decrease when a person's limbs are missing? I ask because I recently happened to fail to save a delimbed patient's life (How he lost his limbs is... a totally uninteresting story) because his body was so full of ethanol that it wouldn't accept any more chemicals. The game said that he was full, and he stayed that way for quite some time, even though he should have been depleting.

Deadmeat5150 posted:Cloaking unit + grinders in the hallway. Genius. I was so happy when I finally got to be a traitor mechanic. I didn't want to gently caress it up so I cautiously took apart and put back together disposals to scan crusher. I put all the batteries and such in a crate and dragged into a maintenance tunnel to put it all together. I thought I was caught for sure when I didn't know how to work the cloaking field and dropped it in plain sight as a couple of people walked by. And then again as I had to set it up 3 times to get the correct distance. All was in place and then along comes a segway. I didn't know what would happen. Would it work? Byond froze for a moment and my heart froze... And then the segway and rider were ground into delightful gibs. And the final minutes of the round were filled with glee from the ill-heeded warnings from the AI to the near empty escape shuttle. Every pain and struggle with Byond was worth that round.

Man, I just had a great traitor mechanic round. Syndie Scanner, Emag and 2 Stealth Storages. I'm pretty sure I got at least a few kills with mousetrap-pipebombed fake-emags, and I know I got a few kills by shutting off the lights in a couple hallways and setting up crushers. I didn't quite escape alone, but the shuttle went off within 15 seconds of arriving. 4/4 Objectives completed. I need a cigarette.

I also just had a great traitor round- five 11X11 bombs going off plus a pipe bomb in security makes the station look like so much swiss cheese.

The game said that he was full, and he stayed that way for quite some time, even though he should have been depleting. I'm not positive, but I believe a good hobo-chem method is to start drawing blood. Drawn blood will take reagents out of the bloodstream, all you need is to draw out about 20 units, then stick him with 10 units of calomel, then 10 units of charcoal. That should clear him out enough for you to apply whatever styptic, sulfazide, saline, or Epi needed to stabilize him.

Why is it that cyborgs are totally impassable? I just got killed by a borg that was able to stand in a doorway and keep me from being able to escape just by standing there. I couldn't budge him or get past him, he just stood in my way.

If pushing or pulling fails, you can rest-slide under him.

I managed to get in as a geneticist last night during a Wizard round. I love the new sound system, it's possible to hear the chaos of the station happening and it's wonderful! I managed to get polymorphism and the Wizard came to med bay so I turned into him, the round ended due to his dying before I could do much. I did put his robe and hat on and told him I would, "Take over," but then I got lasered before the server reset.

As Captain traitor, I got a crate with a DNA injector and sleepy pen, so I penned Jebediah, kidnapped him, DNA injected him, changed his ID to his new identity, dressed him in a clown suit and dumped him in maintenance. Eagerly, I waited to see what his reaction would be when he awoke... When he woke up, he turned out to be AFK and then we were all blown up by the nuke. SS13.

On the subject of the nuke, I had setting it off as an objective last night. I managed to get into the mainframe room and up to the nuke no problem, and when I accessed it, it just had these four blocks I could turn green but that didn't do anything. Where on the wiki does it explain how you actually interact with it? I tried hitting it with the Captain's ID, and tried some tools like the screwdriver on it...What the hell do you do?

This would have been like one of those movies where the main character detective has AMNESIA! And can't remember who he is, or what's going on. Except he is a clown. Honk

You don't do anything from next to the nuke itself, unless your trying to disconnect it.

An unironically good idea for a film. Posting because I've been having "connection failed" a lot since we moved to byond 5.0 but I've found a way around it. If you use the links on the wiki homepage instead of going through the client it will connect every time, no problem. Odd.

I solved that by just going to the OP and clicking the links there every time connection failed. The problem is, the BYOND pager isn't updating the server address fast enough, so sometimes you'll be trying to connect to the previous round.

Does Capelettium Plus not paralyse any more? I stuck someone with ten units, and whilst they didn't say anything for quite a while, they tried to shoot me down with an energy gun, only narrowly failing (drat you, Kiki) Edit: Also, what's the capacity of a sleepy pen, and how much does it inject per shot?
