I get that special tears are barriers that cut off sections of the station from each other, but it'd be neat if there were ways to disrupt that with hilarious consequences. For example, bombing a segment of a tear could break it, unleashing all sorts of weird, mutated, aggressive mobs from another dimension for the duration of the tear. Finding some way to teleport inside the tear would bring you to another dimension of

Maybe make it work like the Meatgrinder from Roadside Picnic  It will temporarily deactivate if you throw something large and organic into it.

The most intriguing for me was the Witches Jelly: a "colloidal gas" that turns anything and everything it touches into more of itself. Scavengers discover that ceramic containers can hold it, but scientists think themselves smarter and pour some of it from one of said containers into their perfectly safe, insulated test area... which promptly gets turned into more jelly, down to the foundation of the building. I can totally see something like it consuming the Research wing A wish-granting (?) Sphere as the prize of a telescience locale would be cool too. In fact make a whole telescience Zone. Pretty please

I don't recall the name of it, but it was one of the "this looks dangerous..." artifacts you could get from the stockings at christmas time. It looked odd, like a cube with little glyphs on the side. When you used it, you could choose to "Let the power flow through you" (chance at either dieing horribly, or getting several rad mutations. TK, Hulk, Fire resist, SMES human), "Let the power heal you", and two others. I'm GUESSING you might find this artifact from fire moon or ice moon, normally. But I've never seen it there before, or heard of people finding it.

For those of you who did not experience the wonders of LLJK 2 tonight, let me regale you with the story of the amazing round. The Chef is seriously the most dangerous motherfucker on the station. Without revealing anything, I will say that the loafer is incredible in so many ways. So far in my experimentation, I've created 4 types of Prison Loaf, but there may be more than that. Along with two other brave souls, we created perhaps the most deadly baked good to ever grace the station. The Strangelet Loaf birthed from the eldritch monstrosity that is the loafer quickly pulverised the 2 or 3 people who went to pick it up from the Brig, and then went on an epic rampage across the station. It took out most of Security, the entirety of the Jazz Bar and ripped its way through Belt Hell before arriving in the AI foyer. After rampaging through the upload room and Killswitch Room, a brave clown managed to get ahold of it and take a bite out of the monstrous bread. predictably, it did not end well for him. With the majority of the crew now in deadchat, we watched as the loaf tore apart the station, with a little help from a massive Black Hole which all but erased the Research Wing. It was only after Centcom deployed Chef Team Six was the reign of the Strangelet Loaf brought to an end, and a brave assistant lay dead after swallowing the beast. I'm pretty sure the final kill count was like a dozen crewmen, and a borg or two. To adapt the classic saying, "Get down with the loaf... Or don't, it doesn't matter either way." I also finally figured out Grog today, so today was a Good Day(TM)

I had my first Borg experience last night. Interesting round. I started as one of about 3 Medical Doctors on a low pop round, so I went into the kitchen and started learning to cook. After a little while the chef showed up and taught me a couple of basic things (I am bad at this game). Getting bored of that, I left my pancakes on the bar and responded to a roboticist call for volunteer brains. In my new body I was just finishing charging myself when robotics and everything around it was almost entirely infested by kudzu. I hastily selected a module, not realising the Standard Module was pretty useless, and wandered around the plant infested area looking for stragglers to warn about danger. The chef showed up and blew up a fuel tank to little benefit. I tried to drag him away from the blast and scanned his vitals, but he was strangely unharmed. By this time everything past the medbay was either pitch dark or impassable, and some engineers (I assume) had started setting up some plasma tanks to burn a path to Escape, until the HoP (i think) opened the tank. I spent most of the rest of the round ineffectually spraying a fire extinguisher and standing in a burning hallway, next to the airlock warning latecomers about "surplus fire" in the hall. I'm sure I'll get the hang of it given another round or two.

Next time you play Borg, try out the Construction module. Not only can you quickly repair the station after the inevitable bombings with your Rapid Construction Device, you can also build rad space clubhouses on your spare time. And if you get emagged or someone uploads interesting laws, you can build mazes or expose the station to space with ease. Being a borg's pretty awesome.

Aren't Kudzu and the Space Blob relatively immune to open fires? That's something that should really be changed, if only to encourage good professional people to perform controlled burns against such infestations. There is, of course, no way this could end badly.

The best way to fight kudzu is with a pair of wirecutters, sadly. Fire-based purging would be a lot more fun, and it could also be neat to be able to splash weedkiller or use a weedkiller flamethrower to annihilate large swathes of the plant.

This was fixed a while ago, I think, fire is good against kudzu now at least. I think either the scalpel or the circular saw (both?) are effective against kudzu as well. Good if you're a mediborg and you're stuck in it.

Maybe they were broken, fixed, and then broken again? I know they haven't been working for a fairly long time, anyway. I know people were praising it for being great for stealthy traitoring while it was broken, because from your perspective it's working perfectly, until you've been locked in by the AI and you turn off the jammer to find out there has been a mob after you since the last guy you killed.

I started playing this game late last evening and I went from barely being able to use my hands, all the way to cranking out space-mouse burgers, convincing new arrivals into taking swigs of Bourbon and being second in a chain of Russian Roulette suicides that took out the bartender, the captain and two other crew members. This game. This drat game.
