- You can set a spy sticker's radio and camera (if it has a camera) by clicking it rather than having to right click it.
Tuesday, February 11th, 2020
- pali updated

- Zamujasa updated
- Some PDA cartridges have new icons.
- PDAs also have a little bright spot when their flashlight is enbabled.
Friday, February 7th, 2020
- Mordent updated
- Manta wiring fixes. The inner engineering wiring loop is now isolated from the rest of the sub, and that one SMES in the control room is solely responsible for powering the stuff needed for the engine.
- Zamujasa updated
- More elbow grease applied to the character preferences system. Some game settings are now profile-independent, like end-of-round popups and other things.
- Job preferences window is slightly better! Slightly! Hopefully! Report issues as usual, please.
- Windows that don't have chui enabled will now look less like 1999 default websites.
- You can change the default font size for said popup windows in your character settings.
- If any of this breaks your save files, I'm sorry. Somepotato said it was okay to push it.
- pali updated
- Buffed Sheltergrog.
- Cyborg painting is back.
- Sticks to Snakes fixes and balancing. Now snakes revert back to items after two minutes.
- When you click on a link in a window it should now more or less preserve the scroll position.
- Related to the above - the supply request console now shows you a message in chat instead of switching to a different content of the window when you order something.
- Reagent scanners now work properly with fluids and smoke.
Thursday, February 6th, 2020
- Zamujasa updated
- Borg hud updates. Now feating an easy-to-access PDA button and, for AI shells, a "recall to mainframe" button.
- Borg and ghostdrone equipment menus can be scrolled with the scroll wheel. This was a thing before, but now they scroll item-by-item instead of entire pages, so it's a little easier to use.
- Oh yeah, you can finally cilck the storage background to equip an item. The future is now. #wow #woah
- Spacebux can be withdrawn from an ATM without logging in. (It's always YOUR spacebux, mind.)
- Spacebux tokens are stackable, splittable, and show how much they're worth in the name. Different amounts are colored differently, too (bronze, silver, gold, platinum, ...)
- ATMs will now ask for your PIN when you swipe your card, like vending machines.
- As usual things are probably broken, please yell at me on Discord or on the forums.
- I have a bounty for finding spacebux duplication exploits, so report them if you happen to find one.
Wednesday, February 5th, 2020
- mbc updated
- New device - the access-pro. Use it to change access requirements of many different kinds of machines. It will copy the access requirements from any ID that you insert into the access-pro. The user must be wearing an ID with id-change priveliges to do this. Find it in the HoP locker.
- Added an AND/OR toggle to the access-pro if you use it in-hand when its empty. This lets you specify if you want a door to require a list of accesses for entry, or allow anyone who meets any one value in the list.
- If a door has 0 access requirements, it can be deconstructed with the deconstruction device now.
- There will probably be some items I forgot to flag as access-changable or some bugs. Please report as usual
- Zamujasa updated
- A bunch of changes to how RCDs work behind the scenes.
- Construction RCD (the RCD Deluxe) improved.
- As usual, complain on the forums.
Tuesday, February 4th, 2020

Monday, February 3rd, 2020

- Artifact instruments are now usable in the instrument player MechComp component.
- Fixed a bug where ghosts could peek into place where they shouldn't see.
- TTVs now actually equalize gas between the two tanks instead of shoving it all into one tank.
- You can now deconstruct unanchored windows by clicking on them with a wrench.
- And you can also remove reinforcements from glass / crystal sheets.
- Fixed a bunch of minor bugs. Among others: Changing telepad in a telesci computer is now less buggy. Masks will now show a proper message about protecting you from a cold liquid if it's cold. If your backpack is full you can no longer accidentally attach a breaching charge to it. Expanded to which containers you can piss. Burst canisters no longer block the port forever. Borgs can no longer steal connected canisters and break the port. Some machines could be used from any distance, that's been probably fixed. A certain circle in a certain adventure zone now registers clicks in a more intuitive way.
Sunday, February 2nd, 2020
- Zamujasa updated
- GAME MODE: FOOTBALL
- look its still the second here. im only a few hours late.
- (this is a gimmick mode like battle royale, but worse)
- mbc updated
- Deconstruction Device will appear in engineer lockers as well as mechanic lockers.
- The Deconstruction Device can now be used to deconstruct more kinds of objects, and not just things mechanics have created (either click in-hand or use mousedrag). When you deconstruct an object, it turns into a mechanics frame that can later be soldered up at a different location. Most things will require some tool use to deconstruct as well, depending on complexity of the object.
- There will probably be some bugs or objects I've forgotten to whitelist as 'deconstructable'. Please report if you encounter those!
- Gerhazo updated
- Fixed a lot of miscallenous inhand sprites. More items should now be visible on your character when they're in your hand. Please report any oddities like an item suddenly using a weird not-fitting sprite.
- Syringe inhand sprite now properly updates to reflect on how filled it is as its contents change.
Saturday, February 1st, 2020
- mbc updated

- The time it takes to pin someone with an aggressive grab will be reduced proportionally depending on their remaining stamina (as opposed to the previous implementation where they had to be at 0 for a fast pin)
- Replaced the existing (byond built-in) sound falloff rate with our own custom one. Also reduced the max ranges of sounds a bit.
- Gerhazo updated
- Fixed the interaction between ghosts and the destabilizing projectile. You can return to busting ghosts.
- Fixed an issue with mechanic frames acting weird if you got interrupted while deploying one.
- Frame deploying action is interrupted by more things, such as starting several deploy actions at the same time, sorry!.
January 2020
Friday, January 31st, 2020
- Zamujasa updated
- Liquid dark matter will no longer meatcube mobs when it reacts inside a container. Instead, it will deal brute damage dependent on the amount created in the reaction. Large enough reactions will also destroy the container.
Thursday, January 30th, 2020
- warcrimes updated
- fart atmos
- farts now have a trace gas. you can smell it when it's in a room. you can vomit when you've had enough. you can't breathe just farts. please be careful, report any bugs immediately. *fart
- fart atmos (fart atmos)
- Gerhazo updated
- The syndicate hat has been removed from the petasusaphilic trait random hat trinket pool due to repeatedly causing confusion as well as devaluing the hat and its purpose. Rest assured that anyone wearing it is without a doubt a super criminal.
- Zamujasa updated
- Construction Worker now starts with fancy overalls.
- The issue where there may have been multiple "Construction Worker" roles in the job preferences menu should be fixed.
Wednesday, January 29th, 2020
- mbc updated
- Fixed bot pathfinding to not get stuck on unopenable doors.
Tuesday, January 28th, 2020
- mbc updated
- Moved hold-at-gunpoint functions to the new item grabs framework. Hold any gun and click someone on Grab intent to hold them hostage. This behaves similar to the old gunpoint mode, but now it's more flexible and you can get a tight hold + pull the target around.
- Fixed bullets that throw the impacted player, like shotgun rounds - they were throwing in basically random directions instead of the direction the bullet was moving and weren't throwing at all on pointblank shots. Also, players who are thrown through the air by bullets will no longer be able to counteract the throw by running (this behavior is unchanged for normal throws)
- Zamujasa updated
- Firebots will now correctly spray firefighting foam fires, making them approximately 90% more useful.
- Floorbots changed a bunch. idk. Maybe they'll be less awful now.
Monday, January 27th, 2020
- Zamujasa updated
- Merged part of adhara's book/printing press feature. Order your gear from your local quartermaster.
- mbc updated
- Fixed reinforced cables not being immune to explosions.
- Fluid movement gear (flippers etc) will prevent sea plants from slowing you down. It also won't slow you on mined rock tiles anymore.
- Increased time it takes to remove a jumpsuit from someone else.
- Kyle updated
- Sturdy and Heavy Robot parts don't slow borgs down quite as much as they used to.
Sunday, January 26th, 2020
- Zamujasa updated
- Attempted fix for atmos misbehaving when fixing breaches / building.
- You can now shove people against artifacts. Passive grabs are safe, reinforced grabs will trigger the artifact effects (if it is on).
- Defibs and human limbs can be used as artifact stimuli as well, if you wanna do that.
- mbc updated
- Revolution leaders can now buy daggers and standard flashes through their uplink.

- You can now use carts to be a target of manufacturer outputs and you can also input materials from them.
- Pali & Flaborized updated
- Added Sticks to Snakes, a new wizard spell! Sprites by Flab, code by Pali.
- Basically, you can target items to turn them into snakes. If you target people, you can turn whatever they have in their active hand into a snake. If you use your staff, the resulting snakes will be aggressive. If you don't, they'll only act in self defense. Killing the snakes reverts them back to the original item!
- There are a couple special snakes from casting your spell on specific items. Collect them all (set up a zoo)!
- Flourish updated
- The radio show host now spawns with a sleeve of exclusive radio station records. Thanks again to Urs for helping curate this collection. *Also, now, most records should have some basic identifying descriptions so you can keep track of your favorites.
- Thanks to Phuzzy, we now have a new radio station advertisement tape, featuring Discount Dan's Quik Noodles. It's very good. Find it (and its friends) in the radio station's trash can.
- Added the grapefruit grape mutation patch by UrsulaMajor and LovelyMimic! You can cut grapefruits into wedges and garnish drinks with them. Also, having grapefruit juice in your system makes medical chems deplete quicker!
- mbc updated
- You can now pin someone by grabbing them and clicking the floor. The action will happen faster if you have a tight grip before starting. Neither party will be able to move during the pin (but the target can resist), and the pin will break when the attacker's stamina runs out.
- Fixed bot and mulebot pathfinding, for real this time. Probably.
Saturday, January 25th, 2020
- mbc updated
- Split the disorient resist armor property into 3 types - Body, Eye, and Ear. Body protects from mostly anything, Eye for flashes, and Ear for sonic stuns. Also added some different amounts of Eye/Ear protection to existing headwear where it would fit.
- You can now dose a material cloth with a small amount of reagents to force targets you strangle to inhale from it.
- You can now strangle someone with a breath mask. If you're holding an internals tank in your off-hand, they will be forced to inhale from the tank.
Friday, January 24th, 2020
- Zamujasa updated
- Air canisters and tanks have slightly updated UI. Now includes a bar showing the percent full it is.
- Green on black for normal, yellow on red for overfilled. If you see a full yellow bar, you should probably run.
- Also, ejecting a tank from a canister will now auto-close the valve if it was open.
Thursday, January 23rd, 2020
- mbc updated
- Revolutionary flashbangs will shatter loyalty implants in affected targets.
- Zamujasa updated
- Changed a bunch of pathology numbers.
- The CDC should no longer charge you an arm and several legs for a single cure.
- More things can be vaccinated. The Synth-o-Matic might also be more useful in making cures? idk. Also, oxygen farts.
- A lot of numbers were fussed with so something is surely broken. As usual, please report problems you run into.
Wednesday, January 22nd, 2020
- Zamujasa updated
- What is and isn't considered a "good" mutation has been changed (mostly w/r/t Boosters).
- The cyberize-organs ailment would eject your spleen without providing a proper replacement. Rude. This has been fixed.
- Card vendors have some new items, sprited by AwkwardDryad. Heh.
Tuesday, January 21st, 2020
- Zamujasa updated
- Sticky notes no longer show up completely black when written on. Thanks to AwkwardDryad for the initial patch. They were also more or less entirely re-coded. Welp.
- Writing on them will update their appearance. Messages with ! and ? will show a ! or ? on the note instead.
- You can stamp them with various stamps. It makes them look different, too.
- They're now actual stickers that you can stick to things. You can also write on them while they're stuck to things.
- Help intent will peel a sticky note off of whatever it's stuck to.
- Old sticky notes still exist in some places, for now. As a temporary measure, a box of sticky notes will accompany any natural stack of sticky notes.
- mbc updated
- Adjusted triplemeth stun reduction from 100% to 98%.
- Flourish updated
- Oshan chemistry has been very slightly expanded. You'll see some of Manta's very cool and good cabinets around there and medbay.
- Ghosts now have a Toggle Arrest Status verb that lets them see (surprise!) someone's arrest status.
- Zamujasa updated
- Implemented party crab patch (code by UrsulaMajor, sprites by Aleks)
- Implemented figurine carrying case patch (code by UrsulaMajor, sprites by Studenterhue). You can buy one from the capsule vending machines!
- The Cyborg jumper cables thing may be slightly less obtuse in its use now. Hopefully.
- mbc updated
- Use Grab intent with a cloth (material piece) to hold someone aggressively with an additional effect of muffled speech. Not a 'quiet' effect, it's normal volume and more unintelligible.
- Adjusted hot/cold food buffs to only apply their effect appropriately when you are too hot / too cold.
- You can now suplex two people at once.
- Slightly changed suplex stun times.
Monday, January 20th, 2020
- Zamujasa updated
- False walls now properly mimic the floor tiles they're on, rather than showing a black void. They may also slide "behind" other walls when open, to make them slightly more sneaky.
- mbc updated
- You can now dive off the pool springboard with a technique identical to the chair flip. Also, people can now be thrown into/out of the pool instead of always needing to enter through the ladder.
Sunday, January 19th, 2020
- Gerhazo updated
- Syndicate assault trooper rifle now has single and burst firing modes. The former functions as the gun has all this time. The latter fires a burst of projectiles that each do less damage and have lower effective range, sacrificing precision and ammo efficiency for close-range stopping power.
- Made very minor changes in gun-related code. It has been tested extensively but if something were to start to break for whatever reason regardless, please post a bug report and/or scream at me.
- mbc updated
- Reworked the way stun reductions work. (They used to reduce all stuns by some amount per life tick. Now, stuns are reduced on the instant of application by some percentage value). This affects lots of drugs, but also fixes some stuff like the changeling abomination form.
- Disorient reductions have been introduced as properties of armor. Currently the only things that grant a disorient reduction are the security barrier, heavy riot suit, and EOD armor. Probably make some craftable civilian version at some point.
- You can view these protection values by using the STAT tooltip on the ingame HUD.
- Fixed a longstanding bug where you could get the benefits of armor simply by holding it in your hand (no more spacewalking by holding a space suit, sorry)
- Gannets updated
- Slight amendments to some Nuckear Operative classes:
- Assault Trooper's rifle now fires the 3-round burst you always thought it did.
- Medic's curare canister has been swapped for a less devastating neurotoxin canister.
- Zamujasa updated
- Experimenting with something at the start of rounds to make the transition less jarring.
- As usual, report bugs, etc...
Saturday, January 18th, 2020
- Azungar updated
- Some things might have changed around a bit on Manta. Maybe. I'm not sure.
- Zamujasa updated
- Trench map (as in, the map of it, not the trench itself) generation sped up.
- Also changed how it looks a little in prep for possibly making it available on the asteroid mining level.
- Cut down Oshan boot time. May also improve Manta boot time slightly.
Friday, January 17th, 2020
- Flourish updated
- Traitor chefs, sous-chefs, and waiters can buy a very gimmicky 1 bad guy coin "hotdog bomb".
- You can now hit a glass recycler with a box to attempt to recycle all the contents of said box.
- I've slightly reworked the left side of Oshan medbay. Let me know what you think. Also, I'm thinking of completely removing pathology, because it looks really aesthetically unpleasing... Also let me know your thoughts!
- Gannets updated
- Nuclear Operative Specialist Medics no longer recieve a random poison bottle.
- To make up for it, they now recieve a large canister of curare to fill their syringe guns with. They also get a chunky injector with three applications of the exciting new juggernaut chem to buff their pals with.
- Let me know how these balance changes feel.
Thursday, January 16th, 2020
- Flaborized updated
- Flourish implemented Flaborized's cool new botany resprites (check them out!) and wrote on behalf of Flaborized in the changelog.
- Zamujasa updated
- Microbomb implanters no longer show a message to everyone on use.
- When implanted into another person, microbomb implants will no longer show the "Your implanted microbomb will go off..." message.
- As usual, subject to change based on observations and feedback.
Wednesday, January 15th, 2020
- Zamujasa updated
- Dying by nanomachines while in VR will no longer make you die for real.
- Botany changes: Certain crops will have the correct names again (synthlimbs, synthorgans, etc.)
- The plant analyzer has a new readout that includes a nifty graph. Green good, red bad.
- "Maturation Rate" and "Production Rate" have been changed to be in line with the other stats - positive is good, negative bad. Effects that changed them one way or the other have been updated accordingly.
- The botanical mister now has a "high power" mode where it outputs more reagents to plant pots at once. It can also be examined for a hint about what's inside.
- As usual, report any weird issues, because lord knows there will be some.
Tuesday, January 14th, 2020
- Zamujasa updated
- Pod buttons have tooltips now. It isn't much, but hey, at least you know what Return to Station does now.
- The text colors for Engineering and blobsay have been changed for better visibility (to darker orange and dark green, respectively)
- Fixed flockbrains not doing flockbrain things.
- Ability cooldowns should update more consistently. Hopefully.
- Blob ability and upgrade buttons now show cooldown timers and point costs similarly to other abilities.
Sunday, January 12th, 2020
- mbc updated
- In the 'Display' menu on the top left you now have the option to toggle framerate up to 60. This won't look good for everyone and may look worse, depending on your PC.
- Chair flip is now a targeted ability where you can click on a tile to throw yourself in that direction. Flipping will launch you in whatever direction your character is facing.
- Chair flip range extended to 3 tiles instead of 2. You will deal more damage to targets who are farther away. Missing your target (slamming into walls etc) can hurt a little.
- Added little pull/unpull icon effects.
Saturday, January 11th, 2020
- Firebarrage, Gerhazo, and Pali updated
- Chem nerds rejoice!
- You can now purchase secret chem hints for 3.5k spacebux on round start!
- Each hint can only be read once, so feel free to sell it to others!
- Many thanks to the many players who helped write these!
- Along with this we now have nine new secret chems for you to find
- Disguiseium, Crime, Stable/Unstable Omega Hairgrownium, Medusa, Directed Nanites, Juggernaut, Deep Fried Dabs, Warp
- Details will be on the wiki shortly
- The first player to discover each chem can choose to add their name to the chem's description! PM Firebarrage on discord if you find one to claim your reward.
- Gerhazo updated
- Click-dragging people into scanners, sleepers etc no longer changes your intent, which it used to without indicating the change on your HUD. If you sometimes had issues with surgeries not working properly, this was very often the cause
Friday, January 10th, 2020
- Zamujasa updated
- Limbs will have the names of their owners. You can once again hit people with their own arms.
- The Wizard spellbook now shows the correct cooldowns for spells.
Thursday, January 9th, 2020
- Firebarrage updated
- Added pali's "Days since last accident" sign
Wednesday, January 8th, 2020
- Zamujasa updated
- Quartermaster console UI updated. Nothing really new feature-wise, just prettier. I guess.
- As usual, please report any issues
Tuesday, January 7th, 2020
- Flourish updated
- You can now staple masks to people's faces. Just have them on an operating table, and target their head while on help intent. Highly recommended for devout clowns and mimes.
- Trying to remove someone's stapled mask will give them some noninsignificant brute damage (much like with stapled butts) and stun them for 4 seconds. This should hopefully prevent nerds from abusing this, but let me know if that still proves an issue.
Monday, January 6th, 2020
- Flourish updated
- New year, new things. The radio station has finally refreshed its brain numbing, headache inducing repertoire of repetition. Instead of being stowed away inside the wooden desks, these records are now found in two very lovely record sleeves on top of the desks (well, now, tables).
- A big thanks to everyone who participated in the November monthly contest and submitted their art for record sleeves! This includes: Pali, Sartorius, Valterak, Wisecrack34, Tewf, Crazyabe, Schwicky_Schwag, Bologna Prime, Monolithburger, saccharinChampion, Studenterhue, and Flaborized!
- And another big thanks to UrsulaMajor for curating the new selection of music!
- Zamujasa updated
- Some more AI changes:
- AI cores now have 250 HP instead of 100.
- AI cores will die at 0 HP, instead of going into a sort of timed "crit" state. In practice this mostly just means that if your HP is below 0, you won't suddenly die five minutes later, you'll die now.
- Power is also a little different. Hitting 0 charge will kill an AI. However, if the AI core starts charging and reaches 100 charge, it will turn back on (assuming it hasn't been otherwise damaged beyond operating).
- Reviving an AI can be done by clicking on it at any time while it's dead, not just while it's fully assembled.
Sunday, January 5th, 2020
- mbc updated
- Pods can now aim and shoot diagonally.
- Pods can brake (hold your SPRINT button)
- Pods bump into things and take/deal damage just like subs do.
- When impacted by a taser, there is a chance that the pod's wormhole recharge will be put on cooldown.
- Kyle updated
- Slight update to wraith. Now they have a visible health bar at the top right of the screen.
- Wraith has a new ability "poltergeist". The old "poltergeist" ability is now called "spook", and the new one creates a portal that tries to summon a poltergeist from a pool of eligible dead players.
- Poltergeists get several of the weaker wraith abilities and must stay within a certain distance of their portal or thier master.
Friday, January 3rd, 2020
- Warcrimes updated
- Fixed weird corners on certain shuttles
- Merchant shuttles should rarely dock at the Diner instead of the station.
- Zamujasa updated
- chui windows like the TEG output monitor will no longer auto-close due to distance reasons for AI / silicons.
Thursday, January 2nd, 2020
- Gerhazo updated
- AI announcements now also make a sound like the regular announcement computers!
- Fixed (hopefully) all of the lingering bee honey bugs!
- Bees spawned from eggs weren't having proper maximum reagent volume set, often making them unable to produce honey, particularly in the case of queen bees, which spawn unique big blobs of honey. That has been fixed.
- Honey would pre-spawn with some honey already in it, causing there to be less room for the bee's reagents, meaning that usually produced honey would not have all of the bee's reagents in it. This has also been rectified. This also means that from now on if your bee feeds on for example a cannabis plant, you can be certain that the reagents of the mentioned will carry over to the honey's reagents.
- Fixed merchant shuttles not cleaning up after themselves while leaving, resulting in a bunch of shuttle floor remaining where they landed. *Also meddled with certain chairs' rotations to remove any instances of them hiding beneath those.
Wednesday, January 1st, 2020
- Firebarrage updated
- You can now transfer spacebux between online players and check your balance mid round. Check an ATM for details
- You can also withdraw it as a token. But dont lose it or the thief can cash it in themselves at any ATM!
- Gerhazo updated
- Happy New Years!
- Oshan had an issue with merchant announcements followed by no trader actually arriving. This has been fixed, as a result of which the *Oshan merchant bay has been very slightly expanded.
- Fixed an issue with merchants sometimes hiding under their shuttle chairs, often completely vanishing from sight.
December 2019
Tuesday, December 31th, 2019
- Zamujasa updated
- We managed to have a changelog entry every day this month. Neat.
- AI QOL: As AI, "Y" gives you the radio channel popup, so you can pick from all your radio channels.
- AIs have a HUD now! It shows the AI core's health, charge, and tracking info, as well as buttons to open the APC for the area your eye is under and to change your status/color.
- Cyborgs and the AI, when killswitched, will eject their brains instead of spontaneously gibbing.
- When a cyborg's head is destroyed, the brain is dropped onto the ground.
- AI shells now take on the name of the AI while the AI is using it. It will reset back to the default afterwards.
- AI is a high-priority role again. Basically, the game will try to add an AI to every round. This will allow people who have it on medium or low to get assigned to it instead of a round starting with no AI at all. (AI defaults to Unwanted in your job preferences.)
- As usual, please report any issues.
- Kyle updated
- Merge dice rework patch by Awkward Dryad. Dice rolls are a lot easier to read now, you can purchase dice and dice paraphernalia at your local card machine.

- ZeWaka updated
- Escape shuttles have been spiffed up a bit with a new look!

- New sprites for pod weapon, sensor, and engine handheld items courtesy of schwick.
Friday, December 27th, 2019
- Gannets updated
- Some changes to Nuke Op Specialist Engineers:
- Turrets can now be thrown to activate, skipping the usual construction steps and getting from zero to shooting in a far quicker time.
- Each turret has two charges of quick-deploy juice. So after that you'll have to do it the old-fashioned way. The turret will aim in the direction thrown when deployed this way.

- So here we are, Manta has been made public. You can now vote for it whenever you feel like playing on it. There is a handy bug tracking thread on the forums, please use it to submit any bugs that you WILL find.
- I'd like to thank the following people for helping me with my vision regarding NSS Manta, in no particular order: Schwick, Haine, Gannets, Spooky, Firebarrage, MBC, Kremlin, Slacker Magician, AwkwardDryad, Keelin, Bill, Valterak, Flourish, Kyle, Avack, Cameron and I've probably forgotten half of the others that helped me. I also would like to thank the commnunity for being so damn supportive about the map.
- And now for the actual changelog:
- Added A BUNCH OF decoration stuff, clocks, new plants, new floor tiles, new posters, new doors, new space dividers (on the bridge) and so much other stuff that I can't even remember all of it.
- A system that allows you to "move" NSS Manta, if you are caught in the current, you'll find yourself in the trench.
- A computer that uses Keelin's dialogue system that can be found in the bridge, tells you NSS Manta lore and other handy info.
- New gameplay enchancing mechanics such as the magnetic tether and the communication tower, both can be broken for different effects on the map and gameplay.
- A goddamn functional roulette table.
- A SAUNA (buff for sitting in a warm sauna will be coming later)
- A clothing store with a bunch of brand spanking new clothes, I also went through all previously used ones and added a ton of those there too.
- Miners get their very own mining ship in the trench, alongside a new fancy teleporter which allows to get back in on the ship.
- Engineers get some new firefighting gear, a loudspeaker system and anti-singularity measure. Also a bunch of other useful gear.
- COFFEEMAKERS, COFFEE FOR EVERYONE.
- New fancy click-to-use cabinets by Keelin. They are the future of storage.
- QM's can buy anti-singularity kits and upgraded security gear. Also shipping container galore. Oh and you can craft all kinds of new crates too with the new manufacturer.
- Chaplain gets a new garment and a couple candelabras that they can light up for more atmospheric effect.
- Communications Officer has entered service aboard NSS Manta, they are a slightly fancier radio host with a new set of gear.
- Speaking of gear, the captain, HoP and the HoS have received more naval looking clothes. The captain's armor can be used in-hand to toggle the new look, on all maps.
- Research has received some new posters and a couple new pieces of glassware to use (and abuse). Pathology has also been moved to research.
- NEW traitor objectives which involve smashing the captains priced ship-in-a-bottle or stealing one of the new prized items that each head has. (RD diploma, MD medical license, HoP first bill and HoS medal.)
- Medical has received some new clothes.
- Security pods/submarines can now open ALL bay doors but civilian/engineering ones can't open the security bay.
- The clown is not actually part of the crew but they have arrived for the party anyway. Be careful as you spawn in.
- Vastly expanded Syndicate assault submarine, new faint signal, new diner and another new set piece.
- + Other stuff that I've forgotten about by now. But since you made it this far, the Manta secret has now been enabled. Let the best explorer figure it out first. ;)
- NSS Manta storyline changing events will be played out on specific dates, expect a forum post about this later on.

- The new Infiltrator kit now comes with a 15 round tranquilizer pistol loaded with sodium thiopental to knock-out any crew who spot you.

- Mechanically, this means that each station's mining shuttle now leads directly to the center of the mining z-level, making it easier than ever to exploit the ressources there. John Bill has added a new stop to his bus, now transiting between the old mining station on z3, and the diner on z5.
- Old Mining Station is also seeing some renovations- access restrictions have been relaxed, free internals and fresh air tanks are available, as well as a transport chute to and from John's new shuttle dock. Check it out!
Friday, August 23th, 2019

- mbc updated
- Sechud icons will now reveal more detail about who was loyalty implanted (rev heads shown with R icon)
- Implanting a rev head will now briefly stun them.
- Implanting a revolutionary will no longer instant-deconvert them. Instead, it will do damage over time (per implant) until the target reaches crit, and then derev them (and heal them a bit back out of crit).
- Revolutionary Flashes will be able to deprogram a loyalty implant when used by a rev head. This operation takes a long time, though.
- Rev Heads can now instantly identify station heads regardless of disguise (H icon)
- Added little speech sounds that play when you send a chat message. You can pick from several options for a 'voice' in character setup. Cyborgs might get one of their own later.

- mbc updated
- Any flash can convert for the purposes of the revolution. Default flashes will still do the conversion SFX, but I quieted the flash sound a bit.
- Correction to the previous message : The Spooky bug only affected new smoke. Old smoke was intended to use these higher amounts. I believe it's all been sorted out now?
- Fixed a spooky bug where TOUCH application amounts recieved from smoke (both old and new, I believe) were way off proportion and much higher than they should be. (NOTE : If this changes any reagents that depended on the bug to function properly in smoke, let me know on discord or forums)
- Changed the effect of a critical hit on stamina. The previous behavior was to always set the target's stamina to 1 if they were above, and KO if they were below. The new behavior is to apply a multiplier to the stamina damage of the attack, diceroll for stun when below or at 0.
- Add Propellant reagent recipe from Sayuta (replicates old smoke behavior). Mix Chlorine, Platinum, Hydrogen, Sugar, Stabilizing Agent.

- mbc updated

- mbc updated
- Movement keys will now rotate your character even if you are already taking a step. Doesnt affect gameplay, it just feels way better. I think this was a classic ss13 quirk that we lost along some many reworks?

- MBC updated

- If you're wondering why this vote isn't at the end of the round, well there's technical reasons as a map switch triggers a full recompile of the game, which takes like 3-5 minutes.
Saturday, November 4th, 2017
- Mordent updated
- Created the omnitool for cyborgs, which can cycle between modes comparable to screwdrivers, crowbars, wrenches, wirecutters, and multitools (click on it while in-hand).

- Refactored the (only a week old) antag weighting system. It now relies on a set % of rounds each player should play as an antag.
- For example, if we have set that antags should get to play as a traitor for 10% of all of their played traitor rounds, it will give higher preference to people that have the lowest percentage of traitor rounds played. It's very annoying to describe but it should work wonderfully ok.
- As before, please post feedback to: https://forum.ss13.co/showthread.php?tid=8931
- Cirrial updated
- Made the brig on Cogmap1 a little less trivially easy to break out of.
- Achieved this by making the chairs into stools and replacing the glass with plasmaglass.
- Today's historical lesson is: when Cogmap1's brig was designed, you couldn't pick up and throw chairs! Times have changed.
- Also got rid of the weird floating stray ashtray in escape.

Sunday, June 18th, 2017
- Wire updated
- Antag Selection Weighting
- When the game selects antagonists for a new round, instead of being completely random chance, it will be based on how many previous plays as that antag type you have had before. This allows people with lower selections to play something they haven't been lucky enough to get before.
- Caveat: The system needs data to function as expected, so you probably won't notice any change for the first little while.
- Also, there remains a low chance to ignore weighting for an antag pick and just select any old shmuck.
- Feedback thread: https://forum.ss13.co/showthread.php?tid=8931
- Fixed blob tutorial, insofar as you can actually complete it now and not be stuck forever.

- Finally, you can grab player critters. Rejoice.

- Blobs now receive a roughly 5 minute "grace period" upon spawning, within which they can retry from scratch if they die.
- Upon the death of a nucleus, blobs will receive a debuff for a short period (lose all biopoints and half generation rate). In addition, blob tiles adjacent to the nucleus will die.

Sunday, May 14th, 2017

Friday, May 12th, 2017

Tuesday, February 14th, 2017
- Haine updated
- Dragging people who are standing up is now faster.
- ZeWaka updated
- There is now a mulebot and forklift not located in QM. Forklift speed increased.
Monday, February 13th, 2017
- Haine updated
- I've tweaked the settings on the pull speeds for stuff and changed the backend just a bit. See what you think.
- The Port-A-Medbay is back again, this time as an actual sleeper! Click it with an empty hand to access the console. Medical PDAs have a remote like the Port-A-NanoMed.
- Grayshift updated
- Further tinkering with individual object drag speeds (mostly faster). Genetically strong and/or green people can pull things real good!
- The tranquilizer rifle is now less likely to kill people. It turns out it should knock people out from the haloperidol, not the blood loss
- Borgs are now good for heavy duty work, exempt from the pull changes. Visit robotics for an upgrade!
- A few crucial pieces of gear are a bit faster to move pull.
- ZeWaka updated
- It looks like someone left the 'low power' switch on the mulebot on! It's now 200% faster, along with other tweaks.
- The Magnetic field event has been re-enabled, and toned down from it's previous gibbing mayhem!
- The Black Hole event now takes longer to de-stabilize, and is more obvious.
Sunday, February 12, 2017
- Grayshift updated
- Pulling objects is now much less speedy, depending on the weight and bulk of the object.
- There are probably a lot of things that have pull speeds that make little sense. There will be a forum topic to report anything critically stupid (all of it)
- I am fueled by hate.

Saturday, January 28th, 2017
- Haine updated
- Fixed a couple bugs with surgery that made it so you couldn't cut out headspiders or ice spiders. Part of the issue: trying to cut parasites out of someone would make it try to cut them out of the surgeon, not the patient. Whoops.
Thursday, January 26th, 2017
- Grayshift updated"
- Disposals is now "safe" as an escape route, or for flushing people you don't like. Hufflaw made me do it.

Sunday, January 22th, 2017
- Wire updated

December 2016
Saturday, December 24th, 2016
- SpyGuy updated
- Somewhat late perhaps: Introducing Silver Fulminate and Silver Nitrate courtesy of Mordent.
- If you are experiencing graphical glitches we recommend updating to Byond version 511.1366 as this will likely resolve the issue. If this does not work we recommend the old solution of .configure graphics-hwmode on or updating directx.
Thursday, December 22th, 2016
- ZeWaka updated
- You can now move those bulky television cameras using screwdrivers and wrenches.

Sunday, December 18th, 2016

Thursday, December 8th, 2016

Sunday, December 4th, 2016
- Haine updated
- Sleepers now run on actual time instead of byond time, so if you put someone in for 1 minute the alarm will go off after 1 actual minute instead of some vague amount of time that could be similar to 1 minute but is more likely to be like 3-5 minutes.
Thursday, December 1st, 2016
- Haine updated

- I adjusted how addictions function so hopefully now you won't just suddenly become addicted to nicotine the second you look at a cigarette wrong.
- This change will absolutely need adjustments because this is pretty hard for me to test properly on my own to get it at the right feel. Let me know if something needs changing!
Friday, November 25th, 2016
- Haine updated

Friday, November 11th, 2016
- Haine updated
- Names are in a new, more exciting format, which your game will probably yell at you about when it loads your character save. It'll try to convert your old name to the new format, but it might fail. Sorry!
- Flavor text (text that will show up when your character has been examined) has been added as well. Keep in mind that your flavor text is subject to the same rules as anything else on our servers! Also it may be buggy for the moment. Please report issues on the forums as always.
Sunday, November 6th, 2016
- Haine updated
- IMPORTANT MINOR CHANGE: Headsets now all use the same channel prefixes for the same channels, so :h will always be for the command channel, :r is always research, etc. I know this will be confusing at first but it will be better in the long run, I swear!
Friday, November 4th, 2016

- Except this doesn't care if you're security or not. They're typically placed at brig entrances.
Friday, October 21th, 2016

- Haine updated
- Added recipes for Heparin, Proconvertin, and Filgrastim, the new blood-related chemicals. You can find them on the wiki!
- Daeren updated
- Our crack team of drunken thermodynamics engineers has investigated the station's deep fryer and found it was using some form of black magic to force any and all chemicals put into it to stay at the factory regulation frying temperature of 365 degrees fahrenheit, regardless of how hot or cold they were. This feature has been changed so that 365 degrees fahrenheit is the minimum temperature, and oil additives that exceed that temperature will not be cooled during the frying process.
- This should make certain forms of mad science with the deep fryer much more entertaining. As always, please report any horrible/overly abusable unintended side effects.
Sunday, October 16th, 2016
- BurntCornMuffin updated
- Behind the scenes changes to implants. There should be no obvious changes, so if anything behaves strangely let me know.

Saturday, October 1st, 2016

- Keelin updated
- Material textures now actually properly apply to worn items. Aaaaah.
Sunday, September 25th, 2016
- Keelin updated
- Fixed up Marquesas' bows a bit.
- Bows will now automatically take arrows from a quiver on your back.
- Experimental: Bow aiming will now start when you begin holding the mouse button. It will still fire when you let go. That's the theory. It's a little buggy.
- Arrow stacks can now be picked up and arrow stacking in general should be smoother.
- If you hadn't noticed. Bows, arrows and quivers can be made at the material nanofabs.
- Arrowhead material now *actually* properly affects projectile damage. Bow material now affects bow performance.
- a69andahalf: .tell AngriestIBM Bee wool has to be a thing: http://i.imgur.com/Gx7fVRn.jpg. I'm not IBM but okay.
