My favorite part of the solarium event was the round after the round after where everyone started with no jobs and had to scramble to find the tools to break into places to even get the station running.

Does anyone know how to adjust the font size in the text box? For some reason for me, its a much larger font and I'd rather it be reasonably sized.

So I've noticed in genetics, some research takes more than 100 materials to start. But normally the game won't let you go over 100 material stored, so how exactly does that work?

I think in all likelihood, that will lead to lots of people in the main hallhay getting clotheslined by people who forget they're on harm, and jerks doing it and pretending that's what happened. Maybe if its restricted to while wearing luchadore masks like some of the other suggestions. Or make being a pro-wrestler a power genetics can unlock. Involuntary Wrasslosis.

Don't be shy about asking. Almost every time I'm in botany, I wind up growing weed simply because I have no idea what the chef wants, or if there even is one cooking. If I do grow food and ship it to the kitchen, I never hear a word about it.

The only plausible reason to ever want to play AI is that you would maybe get that sweet one-human law... and even if you don't get it and he uploads a suicide succumb law, then you're at least free from your silicon prison.

Neddy Seagoon posted:Last night Cogwerks teleported me to the Thunderdome while I was wandering the corridors in a drug-fueled haze of my own making. He healed me to full, gave me the traitor objective of "WRASSLE" and sent me back once I'd wrassled some clowns with the belt. Two seconds after my return to the station, I was blown up and killed by a traitor miner's planted charge. Fortunately for me, Cogwerks told me you had a belt and to go claim it for my own after I blew you up.

Gotta Wear Shades posted:So fairly early in the round an emagged medbot loaded me with Pancuronium. There were traitors and at least one werewolf running around so for the most part I was on my back in medbay as different people tried to figure out what was going on. By the time someone identified the poison for what it was I was in crit and died before anything else could happen. I was a little put out that I could be gasping and paralyzed in the middle of medbay for so long and still die. The first bit of that is kind of a frustrating thing that makes me wish more people would play doctor at least enough to learn what common medical chems do what. The other night I (a doctor at the time) was in escape, making sure my fellow escapees were healthy to get on board, as escape was freezing and depressurized. I had lost an arm in an explosion on the way there, and that makes getting meds out problematic so I was fishing my kits out of my backpack, dropping them, and then click dragging onto myself to get stuff as needed. Since my belt slot was occupied by my medical belt, I had to put my oxygen tank away whenever I needed a hand free to apply medicine to someone. Another explosion knocked me on the floor, and I wound up staying down due to the oxygen deprivation and I wound up freezing and suffocating to death within arms reach of medkits full of burn patches and salbutamol because no one thought to use them.

Coolguye posted:This is easier to do than you might think a lot of times. Typically, when I'm playing AI, I'll do the routine round start stuff like setting the solars, and then I'll troll around for helpful stuff to do that will consume 100% of my attention until someone asks for it again. If there's a free Genetics console, for example, ask someone to load a monkey into the scanner for you so you can start solving mutation sequences. Clockwork in particular is great about doing this if you ask. With your head stuck in the computer you are pretty much physically incapable of being a 'lovely AI', since you can't see what's going on in the station until someone asks you to open a door or shouts for help. Obviously if someone does one of these things you should abandon your work and respond to them immediately. But the chances of seeing someone spawning their gear or dragging a victim to maintenance are practically zero. This is more or less what I do. Set the solars, tune the intercoms in important rooms so I can listen in on everything, then chillax until someone asks for something. Things happening in maintenance and such don't matter. People talking about traitor things in earshot of an intercom I've tuned? Not my business until they actually start doing damage, and even then it'll probably simply be reporting that trouble is occurring in X location. This is kinda why I hate when dorks upload the "confirmed antagonists are non-human and should be killed" laws, because now I'm law bound to be a buzzkill dickhole.

Its mainly that they're a very obvious antagonist, unlike the others. Traitors, changelings, and vampires don't come automatically dressed in clothes that scream "its okay if you kill me".

I think its fine. Genetics is a little closer to the morgue than Robotics is though, so if the two departments are actually both competing for bodies, genetics will probably wind up with most of them.

Yeah, changelings don't really team up. If one changeling absorbs another, it gets all the DNA of the one it absorbed, so they're kind of attractive targets for one another.

I usually just ignored traitors unless they were being extremely overt or some nerd gave me a law forcing me to play supercop. About the most I'd do was make vague comments about what traitors were doing, like paging a janitor to clean up the mess left behind by cloaked crushers the mechanics set up.

Main Paineframe posted:The main benefit of harvesting histamine is speed. It can take quite some time for embalming fluid to decay into a lethal amount of histamine, and while it'll definitely kill you eventually if left alone, histamine makes it very obvious that something's wrong with you even at very low doses so there's a chance of them running to medbay to find out what's wrong. On the other hand, injecting them with a lethal amount of histamine right off the bat will incapacitate someone very, very quickly. Another note about Tox damage, use your PDA to see what's in their system and in what quantity. If they've got a lot of something toxic in them, give them a calomel pill first. It purges their system pretty drat quick, and while it does some tox damage, it can't be lethal. Once the calomel has worn off, then give them a dose of charcoal to heal all that damage just like normal.

Technically, as long as he killed the ling before the ling gave him any orders not to, he didn't really break his laws. Nowhere does the law state he has to protect the ling, and since he knows the ling is non-human, it's fair game. Doesn't change that it's a complete dick move though.

Bonfire Lit posted:The Telescience APC already starts out unlocked, so you can disable the cover lock without having an engineer around. The Genetics APC is located in the unsecured maintenance tunnel just to the east, so having that one start unlocked sounds like a bad idea. Maybe make it so that besides the engineers, all jobs have access to the APCs that are tied to their workstations, just like the doors? So, say, the geneticists can fiddle with their own APC without hacking it or getting an engineer to do it?

Dareon posted:Related, I had two geneticists walking past my corpse in order to throw away their spent mutation injectors while someone who wasn't even a doctor slapped every styptic patch in medbay onto it. The situation probably wasn't helped by the fact that my corpse screamed when he hit me with the patches, but come on. I mean, I'm not the best doctor, I'll prescribe charcoal for nearly any situation where a dude has toxin damage, but I can at least read the health analyzer. Actually, last time I played doctor I got confused by a corpse for a few minutes, as my goggles were showing him as being in the yellow even though his description had the blurb indicating he was dead. My PDA said he had suffocation damage but didn't indicate he was deceased. Forcefed him some Sal and decided "yeah he dead" after that did nothing. Could be he had something similar going on.
