Is there some way to refill large gas canisters?

Transfer gas from another large canister- then you will have two half full canisters.

I would assume using the canister manufacturer in engineering would give you a fresh full tank. Good luck prying that much ore away from the miners or QM or whoever's playing with the smelter, though.

What are the best gases to use, and in which quantities, to operate the thermo engine?

66% O2, 33% Plasma in the Combustion Chamber. Set the Pumps to 1 and a single can of this'll last 40+ minutes (Plasma Can + Empty Can on the mixing plates in the Hot Loop room, then mix one of those with a full can of O2). Plasma in both the Hot and Cold loops proper (the actual plates in the respective rooms, not the two in the center room), hot loop pumps on 1, put two cans of plasma in the Cold Loop on 3. Stand well back and watch the engine burn.

If you mean terrible shitlords being shitlords, then you can cut down on that somewhat by playing on lower-population servers rather than whichever has 50+ people on at any given time. If you mean the general atmosphere and style of humor, well, that's pretty much just SS13, I'm afraid.

Since you can't get anything but a snarky non reply even with admins listening to you, how does choke work? I have never been able to do an aggressive grab except on a bare head, no glasses, hat, etc, but I got instagibbed by a hulk wizard doing a suplex on me when I had a hat and glasses. What am I missing?

I want to play this game again but I find myself so jaded and bored with the byond engine version that I can't help buy get myself banned within 15 minutes of trying to play. I can't even count the number of times I've clicked the last page of this thread hoping for thew new engine version to be ready.

If you are getting yourself banned within 15 minutes trying to have fun, you need to rethink your whole playing strategy. Just remember: if you can't have fun dying, and just want to play it safe, the game isn't for you

What am I missing? Grab someone and click on the GRAB icon that appears in your active hand. It'll change to DISARM (along with comment text about the grab being aggressive) and more clicking makes it a bright flashing KILL with a red background. You'll see your victim start gasping and then you wait. Hat/glasses only stop outright choking, not someone reinforcing the grab for a wrestling strike.

I seriously doubt the QM and/or the miners have enough plasmastone to make even one tank on a good day. The exception is if gragg is selling plasma stone (which he usually doesn't) and even then, there's usually no QM, or shits going down and everything has exploded. The only and I mean ONLY reliable way to get the minerals/gems you are looking/missing is to buy it from the martian salesman. And that's a trip in and of itself which you may come back to find the station missing.

There's a reason I said 'good luck'. I've only looked at that manufacturer's input needs once, and holy loving poo poo, unless it's been changed in the last couple of days, that much usable plasmastone just never comes to be on the station, much less does it end up all in one place before being frittered away by whoever's playing with it, much less does it get to engineering. I've only ever found that much plasmastone in one go maybe once back when I played spergminer alpha, you'd pretty much HAVE to just get lucky with some Miracle Matter or Gragg. The mischief value of a plasma tank must be considered almost incalculably high if it's greater than even ten pieces of plasmastone floating around, which is enough to make exploding gloves, some pipebombs, and an IED in cargo.

So I gave this game a go last night! I only had time for two, my first as Quartermaster where I tried to work out what all the buttons did and was getting there until the Chapalin's body arrived in my cargo, along with a bunch of crew choking to death. I let them all out and insisted someone sign for the Chapalin's dead body but they all just wandered off with it ignoring regulation. I ordered about twenty paint crates until I finally got the one with Red paint the bartender wanted and a robot asked me to trade them, so I put them in a locker and fired them into space, which I think is how trading works. Then we all ran for the escape shuttle because we were all infected with a cough that'd eventually make you explode. Round two and I was a Cyborg! Eventually managing to go Medical and wandering off to save lives. The players all ate a Duckspider and I was told to tell them to sleep it off if they had food poisoning, which is the laziest form of doctoring and perfect for a new player. Once the stream of poisoned people ran out I just kept bringing dead bodies to my Roboticist master, until security busted in and killed him because he was apparently an evil changeling feeding off all the corpses I was dragging his way. I made a friend with a robot with no limbs who just wobbled about screaming in pain, but what with the Roboticist being very, very dead no luck there. A virulent purple disease spread throughout the station which made every look sick so I went about jabbing people with medicine to try cheer them up. Eventually they called the shuttle again for reasons unknown, but I choose to believe was because the spreading plague of Purple was turning to Pink and it'd just have got far too embarrassing to cope with. I didn't make it to the escape shuttle this time because a meteor collided with the station and I went to investigate. I found it. All in all I had no idea what I was doing, but nobody really seemed to mind and even thanked me for work other people technically did so that works for me. 10/10 GOTY Fans fucked around with this message at 08:03 on Jul 10, 2014 |

I've only ever found that much plasmastone in one go maybe once back when I played spergminer alpha, you'd pretty much HAVE to just get lucky with some Miracle Matter or Gragg. Rather than mischief value, I think it's just a combination of the fact that plasmastone literally contains plasma (if you make plasmastone glass with the smelter and then break it, it'll release a big cloud of plasma) and the fact that there's more plasma cylinders on the station than you'll ever need, so if poo poo's gone so bad that the station is completely out of plasma, you probably have bigger problems than anything plasma could possibly be useful for. And if you need plasma for murders, just siphon some off the hot loop. You can also get small tanks from a tank dispenser, dump them into an air siphon, and then attach the air siphon to a canister hookup in the transfer setup in engineering or toxins to transfer it to an empty canister. That said, he didn't say he wanted to refill plasma containers. He didn't specify the gas. I'm guessing he wants oxygen, that's pretty easy - just steal some mauxite from the general manufacturer next to the smelter. Just be careful handling it, since I'm not sure if they fixed the "mauxite bars being horribly explosive" bug yet. You can also use the air siphon trick I mentioned before to drain belt/back oxygen tanks and send their contents to a cylinder.

I just now played my first changeling round as an engineer. Thought I'd try to read about the abilities before doing anything and made my way to the engine to do my job. Engine output was great when I got there but luckily I got a call to mining for a repair job. So I walk in there, notice a critical state miner with another trying to help them. While I'm checking out who they are and what they have via examine I accidentally spit at the critical miner. Me and the stable miner both panic and they run off, screaming about my true nature on radio. I ran into QM to hide, only to find some recently deceased bodies. This is a lucky break for me for as soon as I finish absorbing some DNA, the miner comes back for revenge. I spit and absorb them and chuck their body on a conveyor belt. Then I remembered lings can transform as well: I decide to take the miner's identity. Sadly being an idiot I am I take off his ID while the body is on a conveyor belt and it just shoots into space. So now I'm the miner carrying a known changeling's ID card. Another opportunity presents itself when a clown appears but sadly they manage to escape thanks to their fake mustache protecting their neck. My round eventually ends when I find myself in fisticuffs with a security officer. They get the drop on me with a whole round of bullets. I drop, realize I'm in crit, manage to shoot a toxic spit at my assailant and begin regenerating. I wake up as soon as the officer manages to cuff, stick them with a neurotoxin. Feeling victorious I chow down only to realize I am suddenly in splattered as gibs all over space.  Dead chat informs me that earlier a traitor tried to mindslave my victim but accidentally implanted him with microbombs.

It's not that I hate fun or think it's not allowed to happen, I just think it's a bit too juvenile of a way to "spice things up" as to me it just ends up being annoying instead. I'd rather see something crazy and new happen like Kitchen 13, or 100% traitors/wizards or whatever, than nonstop chiptunes and slightly rotated sprites. Hence I just leave and go do my own thing, those nights are just not for me.

No one person should have all that power. As an aside, is mistform bugged in a silly way, or oddly balanced? It seems that it demands that I not be seen by anyone...which seems to include myself, and I'm guessing cloak of darkness never appears to work simply because my vampiric vision is so good I see EVERYTHING. I've basically never played vampire, so...

Didn't you used to be able to shoot over prone people? Does that not apply to people you're pulling? Last night while hauling someone from danger I shot them on the ground while clicking a golem instead of shooting over him. Then the next round my mindslave boss did likewise with a shotty while we were booking it from the captain and alarmingly robust chef.

He had a rolling pin and we were pretty hosed up from fleeing the captain, AI and one very distressed and betrayed medical director. We were so so close to making it but between my 2/3 aborted clone-boss and me having just been shotgunned we didn't really stand a chance. He still made us look like chumps though. Melee weapons are loving hard to use effectively against lasers. LeadRobot fucked around with this message at 16:25 on Jul 10, 2014 |

Just like with most other gimmicks, it's gotta be clever. Just pasting a gigantic Elmo over everyone doesn't make it funny. The time Chemistry was deleted and replaced with a really bad .gif, with a BFG left in the middle to lure in idiots? That was funny.

I joined partway through an admin round where martians were attacking the station and everyone was banding together and arming themselves the other day. It was fun, though I died because we had a radiation tunnel event and also bombs taking out like 10 people in one go. Not a bad strategy to funnel people into the same area though. Not a single head wanted to mess with giving access though apparently, so as a crew we were kind of hobbled by being half assistants left.
