Is this just a minor bit of clunk that you get over by getting more proficient at rapidly handing/unhanding stuff? In medbay you can find medical belts that you can unload the contents of your medkit into for ease of access! You can keep your health analyzer in one of your pockets until you need to use it, too. Also, if you put a medkit in your backpack, you can open the medkit and take stuff out directly from it by opening your backpack and then dragging the medkit onto your character.

Find patient, pull analyzer out of pocket or belt, scan, replace in pocket, pull medkit off table or out of backpack, click and drag from the kit to your character to open it up, pull out and apply medication with spare hand, bong bing bong practice from there E: sniped by two minutes due to phone posting

Put your ID into your PDA and then put your PDA in your ID slot. It still works as a health analyzer, so it's like having a spare pocket just for that. Then you can use your pockets for epinephrine or something. Of course you might get PDA bombed but hey what's life without risk.

Ooh knowing about the medical belts makes all the difference, thank you! But wait, we have pockets?? Looking at  , are we talking about the two things with the "shirt" icon to the left of the backpack? I think I've always ignored those slots because I spawn with something in 'em, I've been operating under the impression that your only storage is a backpack, your two hands, and/or a box held in one hand.

That makes it way easier, I keep getting into this cycle of spreading out tons of useful tools around the floor, and that can't be sanitary (especially when playing as doctor, cook, or medical cook)

I started the engine today! It made a whole 20kW.  And then someone tried to kill me by opening the release valve of a plasma canister and flooding the hot loop room with plasma gas. I spent the rest of the round trying to figure out how to get rid of it.Is there a way to fill the storage cart from the crucible room with space charcoal? I tried dragging it into the cart, nothing happened. I tried clicking on it, it just set it on top of the open cart. I'm sick of carrying it around.

A tip thats not immediately obvious: Boxes take up a set amount of space in your backpack, even if they are empty/have only one item in there. If you're carrying around a single item in a box, its worthwhile taking it out and just shoving direct into the backpack. Or fill up your box.

Luigi Thirty posted:I started the engine today! It made a whole 20kW. Air scrubbers can remove plasma and other toxic gases, but they take for-loving-ever. Air pumps can drain all the gases from an area, but they're not that fast either. Both can be hooked up to pipes the same way canisters can, and used to dump gases into the pipe system. Personally, I find that putting out engine fires isn't worthwhile - it takes pretty much the entire rest of the round to do it, and you have a decent chance of getting yourself killed if you're not careful. The easiest way to put a pile of things into a cart or crate is to simply push the cart/crate onto the same tile as the pile of stuff, open it, and then close it. When you close the cart/crate, everything on the same tile will be sucked into it through the magic of BYOND. And on that note, you can fill the engine furnaces directly from a crate without having to open it - just click and drag the charcoal-filled crate onto the furnace, and an autoloader will kick in and remove enough coal from the crate to fill the furnace.

On the subject of doctoring, the cryo tubes are really, really good. If used properly, they heal all major types of damage at a rapid rate, automatically eject the occupant when they're done, and the treated patient will be slowed down for a moment so they can't run off before you put the finishing touches on. They won't do anything for syndromes or conditions, like shock or blood loss, but a dose of epinephrine will deal with the shock and most other problems can be treated at your leisure after the cryo-treatment. Sleepers are also helpful. Not only are they a good way of sleeping off diseases and addictions, but an occupied sleeper can also be set (using the console on the left) to manually or automatically inject the occupant with basic healing chems. They're not as good as the cryo tubes, but they're a good way to deal with relatively simple cases without having to burn through Medbay's limited chem stocks.

TheDK posted:Also a note about the sleepers if you are using them for yourself... hit 'rest' once you get inside or else you'll just be laying in it not actually recovering from anything, I've found. Major pathology diseases can have random cures so if it's at risk of death take every chem then eat everything in a vending machine. You may still die but there's a chance!

Changelings aren't, otherwise they'd be effected by the neurotoxins and lsd they usually use to subdue victims, but vampires I'm not sure. I can't recall ever getting drunk from feeding off a passed out, barf covered crew member.

Well, I'm pretty sure it's byond advertisement that just gave me malware, and might have been what gave me malware the last time. I don't think I'm ever going to play SS13 again until I figure out how to stop it from doing it.

I am the worst traitor. I spawn in the middle of a round, run to a crawlspace and spawn a power sink. Realize I don't know how to use it. I think I need wire cutters so I go looking for them. Slip on blood, drop the power sink. Detective picks it up, figures out it's mine, hauls me off to jail while I impotently throw an unarmed pipe bomb at him. I sit in a cell for the rest of the round until I die from a radiation storm because the detective died 20 minutes ago and there's nobody to let me out. Meanwhile, my power sink gets stolen by a guy holding the station hostage and the detective flips out because he realized forgot to crush it. I laugh at him.

In general, if you spawn a traitor item you can't use right away, it's often a better idea to hide it somewhere rather than carry it around, just so it doesn't give you away if you run into any kind of trouble. Hell, I've gotten out of actually being caught with stuff by just hiding it before sec caught me, playing innocent, and claiming the sole eyewitness was just trying to frame my.

Don't even spawn gear you can't pick up until you're ready to use it. A Power Sink or Port-A-Puke or whatever is way too conspicuous to haul around, so just wait and spawn it when you need it or are safe to use it. The exception is Stealth Storages, which are probably the best traitor item in the game. They're essentially backpacks that fit in your pockets, can be changed to look like other items, and don't display when you take items in and out of them. You can spawn midsize to large items like Revolvers or the Spacker and shove them into Stealth Storages and just walk around like you own the place. Make it look like a pen or something and security might not even realize there's anything in it when they search you.

Pens are suspicious. Nobody carries one that isn't a sleepy pen or stealth storage. Make it some other item related to your job, like a hypospray for doctors or a wrench for literally anyone else.
