Saturday, May 2nd, 2015

Conor12 updated

Strawberries!
Strawberry plants, strawberry pies and other strawberry stuff.
Sprites provided by a strawberry clown.

Marquesas updated

Moved changelings to the ability system that wizards and other very able stuff are using.
Naturally, this might mean a myriad of bugs. As usual, you know where to find me.

Friday, May 1st, 2015

Wire updated

Fixed new chat output for those who had issues loading it.
Implemented a new ping meter that displays in the chat area. Updates every 60 seconds and displays visually. We'll see how well this works live.
A bunch of other minor improvements and fixes related to the chat panel.
Added option to disable the ping display. Revamped the options menu UI.

Haine updated

A few new hairs.
Monkeys behave slightly differently.

April 2015

Thursday, April 30th, 2015

Haine updated

Presents containing dead guys are no longer invisible and named "spresent".
Voice changers are now an item that can be put into masks, rather than a mask itself.
IV drips/blood packs/etc now hold up to 250u, rather than 100u.

Wednesday, April 29th, 2015

Wire updated

Some UI improvements to the chat output. Also changed the font. I expect this to fuck with all of you appropriately.

Keelin updated

Ouija boards are now observable. The cooldown period on ouija boards is now per-person - so you can still use them when there's a bunch of other ghosts.

Tuesday, April 28th, 2015

Wire updated

Chat output now has an options dropdown menu that contains the text zoom buttons as well as a new "Save Chat Log" button.
The chat log thing opens an IE window containing the css and html of everything in your current chat output. You then have to copy and paste this to save it. No it's not ideal, but it's the best I can do for now.

Keelin updated

The chapel now has 3 ouija boards to allow the crew to speak to spirits. Kinda. Sorta. Uhhh excuse me.

Sunday, April 25th, 2015

Conor12 updated

Added a new vehicle to the warehouse. Feel free to tell me what you think of it.

Thursday, April 23th, 2015

Wire updated

Blob players now get an alert if any of their nuclei are under attack.

Wednesday, April 22th, 2015

Wire updated

Added options in the chat window for changing your font size. Increased default font size from 12px to 13px;
Changing the size should save it automatically. Let me know if it doesn't.
Re-added a form of the 'Connection closed.' message back. It isn't perfect and will occur during heavy lag. Further work will be done on it.
Fixed a caching issue momentarily preventing new functionality (and in some cases breaking existing functionality).
Improved 'click tolerance' with regards to the chat window stealing focus. Should help with cases of clicking on the chat window and not being able to input byond commands.

Tuesday, April 21th, 2015

Wire updated

MAJOR UPDATE
The chat area of your interface has been changed to what is known in shitty byond coding circles as a browser output window.
Initially you won't see much of a change at all, but it allows us to do a lot more things with output in general. I have also tried my best to keep the functionality as identical as possible to the old output.
However! This involved changing code in roughly 800+ files so there is bound to be something fucked up that I missed! Please report it here: http://forum.ss13.co/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=5022

Monday, April 20th, 2015

Convair updated

Made a number of backend changes regarding kinetic firearms and ammo handling. Better user feedback, fewer bugs. What this means for you:
Automatic updates (descriptions and icons where applicable) for all ammo boxes. Guns can be examined to check the current ammo type, and also be unloaded at will. The .357 Mag revolver can chamber .38 Spc rounds like in RL.
Spent casings are now a thing. Some guns eject them automatically (shotguns, .22 pistol), others on reload (revolvers, zip gun). And yes, the forensic profile of the gun is taken into account.

Marquesas updated

Happy 420!
Slightly reorganized how spells are attached to the wizard. This might result in some unexpected behaviour. As usual, you know where to find me.

Sunday, April 19th, 2015

Convair updated

Fixed the bullet schematics of the general manufacturer, which were set up improperly for like 6 months. Zip gun users rejoice.

Saturday, April 18th, 2015

Convair updated

The bomb VR shouldn't be broken anymore. If the bomb doesn't trigger after ~10 seconds, chances are it's a dud.

Haine updated

Half of the rewrite of crates/closets is now done - all closets and lockers are now using the new system. Please let me know if you see weirdness going on with them or if something's broken.
Health monitor implants (the ones from the cloner and medbay/robotics manufacturers) will now alert medical staff when the person implanted drops into crit or dies.
DNA scramblers now make people look kinda sorta a bit more normal and are likely more useful as a result.

Thursday, April 16th, 2015

Daeren updated

Wraiths are now hopefully less ridiculously unstoppable in experienced hands due to a slight nerf of Absorb Corpse's scaling.
Additionally, the chaplain has enrolled in a mail-order ghostbuster training program, and can resist many (but not all) of a wraith's powers. Clever wraiths still have several options to fight back.
Bibles now hurt wraiths and revenants.
This update totally didn't disappear for most of a day due to a drive-by imcodering

Tuesday, April 14th, 2015

Daeren updated

Chaplains are now actually immune to (most) vampire shenanigans a la immunity to (most) wizard shenanigans. There may be Surprises for vampires who try anyway.
This update brought to you by me trying to make the chaplain anything but a permanently enrolled gimmick job, so more changes are in the works.

Monday, April 13th, 2015

Daeren updated

Blobs and wraiths now have their own preference buttons that work in theory.
Alert us if this screws up the selection process or objectives somehow so I can immediately blame Mport.

Sunday, April 12th, 2015

Wire updated

Blobs can now talk to each other via a special 'channel'
They can also now hear people within range of the blob overmind
(aaand fixed the bug that allowed everyone to hear the blobchat)

Saturday, April 11th, 2015

SpyGuy updated

Bringing some of the limb stuff up to the new standard (mostly robolimb stuff).
Getting augmented should now be a lot more attractive.
Changed ~something~ about item pies and the fryer.

Friday, April 10th, 2015

Convair updated

We're still tweaking vampires, don't panic. Rejuvenate fully replenishes stamina, for instance.
There's been some backend changes regarding eye and ear protection checks. All in all, things should be fairly consistent across the board now.
Can't flash somebody who's blindfolded, a deaf person isn't affected by sonic grenades, sunglasses and welding masks do the same etc. You get the idea.

Wednesday, April 8th, 2015

Haine updated

Finally made vampires drain actual blood from people rather than just doing 10 points of damage and then saying "welp they have no more blood" when they hit 200 total brute
This will probably change the balance of vampires a bit, I guess. eh.

Tuesday, April 7th, 2015

Convair updated

AP ammo for the .38 revolver now comes in a box of three. 1 speedloader for 2 TC was poor value compared to other traitor items.
Added one of those fancy self-charging power cells to the surplus crate pool.

Monday, April 6th, 2015

Keelin updated

You can now switch out the energy cells used by guns. The recipe for this is on the workbench.

Sunday, April 5th, 2015

Convair updated

Gibs can now be analyzed for forensic evidence.

Wednesday, April 1st, 2015

SpyGuy updated

Strawberry the clown thought she'd help the heads by washing their fancy hats. Unfortunately she used too hot water and they shrank! Oh no!
'laugh track'

Marquesas updated

Disabled motives temporarily as they underwent some fine-tuning.
All-in-all you should be experiencing a richer RP experience from the revised rates of affection.
HAPPY APRIL FOOLS' DAY!

March 2015

Tuesday, March 31th, 2015

Marquesas updated

In an effort to give more utility to some unique jobs, we are introducing a motive system. Keeping your motives high is rewarding on your long run!
Remember, this is a system in beta testing. You know where to find a coder if you find any weird issues.

Thursday, March 26th, 2015

Wire updated

Fixed the light given from being on fire from sticking around after the fire is gone.
Those with good memories will know that this is my third attempt at fixing this. :hngh:

Haine updated

The default-to-WASD thing is back again since it now actually works! Check your preferences.

Wednesday, March 25th, 2015

Haine updated

You can put your ID in your PDA now. Some shit probably be broken from this, yell at me if so.

Sunday, March 22th, 2015

SpyGuy updated

Yet another batch of chemistry backend tweaks.
Let me know if I broke everything.

Thursday, March 19th, 2015

Convair updated

Somewhat extensive update of forensics:
Every pair of gloves has an unique ID, so detecting "insulative fibers" on a door isn't as useless anymore.
Gunshot residue has been added for kinetic firearms. If you found those on a greyshirt, chances are they were up to something.
Reminder: forensic profiles for guns and projectiles were already a thing.
The fingerprint system should be more robust in general now. Melee attacks, pulling, accessing somebody's inventory etc. all leave prints on the victim.
Forensic scanners have also been updated. Detectives will be pleased to learn that the non-PDA version (new sprite courtesy of Gannets) can search the security records on the go.
How to get rid of implicating evidence? Take a shower or wash the item in question with space cleaner (a sink does the trick as well).
Other misc changes: added user feedback for silenced guns (.22 pistol, crossbow), stungloves are charged by using a power cell on them.

Monday, March 16th, 2015

SpyGuy updated

Throw a thing at disposal outlets. (please note that jerks count as things for the purposes of this exercise)

Sunday, March 15th, 2015

Haine updated

Okay the auto wasd thing is going away again for now because it's creating hella runtimes.
IT WORKED IN TESTING YESTERDAY OKAY
IT JUST DOESN'T WORK IN TESTING TODAY

Saturday, March 14th, 2015

Haine updated

Check your preferences window: you now have the option to have WASD mode turn itself on by default when you open the game.
It should work.
Maybe.
It worked in testing.

Monday, March 9th, 2015

Marquesas updated

In case you're wondering, it's 12:01 AM so it's the 9th in the significant places of the world.
Update ft. Pacra: Total telecrystal cost reorganization.
Further extending the module research stuff in Robotics. Phasing out powerful modules in favour of future research and assembly.

Tuesday, March 3rd, 2015

Haine updated

Mousetrap + borg arm + pie. Have fun.
Blood packs are now reagent containers, like beakers or syringes. There are also now IV stands you can hang them on, which can attach to beds or chairs by click-dragging them.

Monday, March 2nd, 2015

Haine updated

Click on a die with another die to bunch them together, or click-drag a die onto another die to gather any die around you into a bunch. There can be up to 20 dice in a handful of them.

February 2015

Saturday, February 28th, 2015

SpyGuy updated

Chemistry reactions instant again. Some other chem related tweaks.

Haine updated

Some emote changes, mostly backend stuff.
THE ALT EMOTE FOR BIRDWELL IS NO LONGER *flex. It's now *burp. This may or may not have anything to do with the hotkey for *burp being CTRL+B.
New hotkeys for pointing: CTRL+P to toggle point mode on or off, P in WASD mode. Hold down B in WASD to quickly point.
If you manage to open a crate/locker inside of something else (say, a pod), it'll now throw all its contents out on the ground, rather than implanting them into the pod's very being, never to be seen again.

Thursday, February 26th, 2015

SpyGuy updated

Expendable borg upgrades will no longer break upgrade slots. Safe to use now.

Wednesday, February 25th, 2015

Haine feat. Convair updated

Vendor Borg Memorial Update.

Sunday, February 22th, 2015

Hull updated

Changed how the blob random event works.

Haine updated

Changes to surgery: a greater base chance to fuck up a cut, anesthesia/analgetics will reduce this, as well as the over-all damage the patient takes during surgery. If you fuck up, you gotta redo the cut. You need to be way more drunk to do self-surgery now. Glasses no longer get in the way of surgeries that target the head.
Body bags.

Saturday, February 21th, 2015

Wire updated

Added the "Reconnect" command to the menu under File

Hull updated

Changing light bulbs and tubes is easier, just smack a fixture with a bulb or tube in your hand and you'll swap them, including broken ones.

Friday, February 20th, 2015

SpyGuy updated

Changed AI camera behaviour so that cameras match NORTH-SOUTH connections.
What this means in practice is that if you head south from one camera, then north it will lead you back to where you started (in most cases).
There will still be cases where this does not work 100%

Thursday, February 19th, 2015

SpyGuy updated

AI Camera backend optimizations. AI play should be a lot smoother now.
Cut cameras will no longer be a confusing jump. They will show static.
Tweaked the camera pathfinding, it should behave a lot more like you would expect now.
If you find bugs please report them.

Haine updated

Moving rollerbeds. Also moving office chairs (unscrew them from the floor). Also you can tuck sheets into beds and then they move with the bed.
Bugtesting this code last night is the reason I'm exhausted today so you BETTER ENJOY IT (it's still probably buggy and weird)

Wednesday, February 18th, 2015

Haine updated

Security jobs now start with two new verbs: "Say Miranda Rights" and "Set Miranda Rights". There's also an emote for those with the verbs, *miranda

Tuesday, February 17th, 2015

SpyGuy updated

Telekinesis works by click-dragging items from one tile to another now, sending them flying.

Wednesday, February 11th, 2015

SpyGuy updated

You can now create announcements using the computer in the communications room.
Here's to the faint hope that it will not get ran into the ground.

Haine updated

Finally added in some stuff that I've had the sprites for for a while (bucket helmets, skull chalices, surgical shields, wrestling masks, bald caps)
Thanks to SLthePyro, Gannets and Hempuli for the sprites!
Some other stuff.

Tuesday, February 3rd, 2015

Haine updated

CTRL+X now does a thing for borgs.
And AIs and AI shells too, whoops.

Sunday, February 1st, 2015

Marquesas updated

Increased damage to blob done by sarin, cyanide, fluorosulfuric acid, polonium and radium.
Poison now does double damage. In addition to its initial damage, it does the same amount of damage over time as well.
Poison damage now propagates. If a blob tile dies, the remaining poison DoT is split evenly between all surrounding blob tiles.
QUITE POSSIBLY fixed the ripping out of your body brain bug. Hopefully. IDK. I think I did.
This might cause some oddities or deviations from old behaviour. Please note these on the bug reports forums.

January 2015

Friday, January 30th, 2015

Marquesas updated

Blobs are now vulnerable to quite a few poisons. You'll want to spray these, preferably without friendly fire!
Further fiddled with the way fires work.

SpyGuy updated

Something we've missed for a long time is finally brought back.
It's the O2 indicator.

Tuesday, January 27th, 2015

Haine updated

Clowns now have a new traitor item available. Happy pranking!
New under your Commands tab: Stop the Music! Does what it says: if one of us admin jerks has played something, this'll make it stop.

Saturday, January 24th, 2015

Marquesas updated

By cutting someone to Bald in barber shop, you can now retain their hair as a wig. Wow!
The singularity generator should do stuff now.

Friday, January 23th, 2015

SpyGuy updated

Turns out the cloner was running slow because all your healthy organs were MOOCHING on that sweet, sweet healing provided by the machine.
This will probably also boost a lot of healing stuff.

Thursday, January 22th, 2015

Marquesas updated

This update is not an essay.
Blobs should have a new tool for fighting fire. MAYBE SOMETIME SOON WE MIGHT REACH AN EQUILIBRUM.

Wednesday, January 21th, 2015

Daeren updated

After the barrage of genetics nerfs it's time to tweak one that was probably too punishing in retrospect.
This wasn't in the changelog before now (I think) but the feature is this: Powers give you genetic instability. The lower it is, the more Terrible Things happen to you.
The change: BAD mutations now give you MORE stability, and low stability doesn't make you mutate like you gargled with the Ooze from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
Yes, this means that if you want to activate a bunch of superpowers at once, you will either deal with the Bad Shit that happens with low stability or you need to layer Bad Shit on yourself with bad mutations. IMO this is way more entertaining than just having an arbitrary "fuck you" limit.
The actual stability increases and decreases for certain genes have been tweaked a bit, and may require further balancing after "playtesting" (watching people run shit into the ground), so please give your input on the forums/to admins/whatever if you've got a bone to pick about the new system.

Sunday, January 18th, 2015

Daeren updated

You may notice that medbay has been remodeled. We noticed that genetics wasn't really using half of its floor space so they don't get to have it anymore.
We also noticed that genetics would ignore corpses in favor of fetching more monkeys from the monkey pen, so now their access to it goes through the surgical bay so the antisocial fuckers are forced to at least acknowledge the rest of the station.
We took away the Port-A-Genes too while we were at it because wow, THAT experiment backfired!
Nearly forgot, we put safety inhibitors in the enzymatic reclaimer so you can't just stuff living people that have mildly annoyed you inside without emagging it first.
As part of the remodeling to encourage geneticists to do their goddamned jobs, surgery and cryo share their space now to give a more natural flow to treating the critically injured.
This update was brought to you by Roboticists.

Thursday, January 15th, 2015

Marquesas updated

Here's a list of things I committed the past few days, because I forgot to update this I guess?
Pod artillery platform now works with 40mm HE grenades. That means you have to resupply. Insert the ammo while the panel is open.
You only have yourself to blame for this change if this bothers you.
Ingesting phlogiston and chlorine trifluoride now should be a much worse idea. Why was this literally harmless in the first place?
Smoke size now scales with the amount of reagents it is composed of. You'll find that your 1-unit smokes are now barely a puff of dust.
Finally, but most importantly: Blob has been released. I'm still working on the balance but it shouldn't be far too biased in favour of one side.

Wednesday, January 14th, 2015

Haine updated

Okay 3,267 parrots is a bit excessive. Flaptonium now works like Life, lest we nearly crash a server with an excess of birds again.

Saturday, January 10th, 2015

Marquesas updated

RIP Cyborg phantom health.
In theory this means everything should work in a sane way now.
In practice this means I'll be still sifting through your bug reports in two weeks.

Friday, January 9th, 2015

SpyGuy updated

The cyborg teleport upgrade suddenly remembered it needs a telecrystal to work. Oh dear.

Haine updated

The code for hearts and heart surgery has changed a bit - you shouldn't notice any changes, but if you do, let me know.
Cards can now be tapped and untapped, see the playing card tips & tricks page in the card vendor for more info.
Shuffling a tarot deck will reverse some of the cards now. Spooky.

Wednesday, January 7th, 2015

SpyGuy updated

No more mystery reagents in pills.
Fuck you, horrendously obscure bastard bug. I win.

Tuesday, January 6th, 2015

SpyGuy updated

Updated the materials counter on the genetics modifier to show the current generation rate.
The cloning pod now comes with the ability to disable the granting of this bonus for a slight increase in cloning speed.
In practice this will mean that geneticists should be interested in ensuring they're the ones operating the cloner.

Monday, January 5th, 2015

SpyGuy updated

Genetics now gets a bonus to material generation and equipment cooldown speeds when the cloner is running nominally.

Sunday, January 4th, 2015

Daeren updated

im coder
My first order of business: screwing with Poltergeist PDA messages because obviously that's critically important.
Oh yeah, the medal code had a few weird bits that I smoothed out. Four medals are now actually obtainable!
Three of them are crew objectives that now get handed out, the fourth involves poor decisions involving mulebots, alcohol, and innocent bystanders.

SpyGuy updated

Due to recent scientific breakthroughs the MD has ordered a new kind of dart for their rifle.

Saturday, January 3rd, 2015

SpyGuy updated

Rebiggified foam. Also made chem machinery update itself properly during extended reactions.
Back to raising hell now, chemists.
An assistant, a chaplain and a clown walked into a bar... they found a dodgy item.

Friday, January 2nd, 2015

Keelin updated

Added a new actions system. This will eventually replace all those "wait X seconds with no visible indicator" actions with ones that provide more feedback and options.
Handcuff removal has been ported to this new system. More to follow.

Marquesas updated

Security has a new toy. All hail the big brother.

December 2014

Wednesday, December 31th, 2014

Tobba updated

Chemical reactions are no longer instantaneous (except for reactions such as smoke).
You can affect the reaction speed through heating or cooling.
Pyrosium and cryostylane need to be mixed with oxygen to do anything.

Monday, December 29th, 2014

volundr updated

Added stationary chemicompiler to chemlab. Try not to blow yourselves up.

Saturday, December 27th, 2014

Haine updated

Added some cancel buttons to stuff in the chem machines; making pills/patches, the borg chem menu, etc.

Wednesday, December 24th, 2014

SpyGuy updated

Jenny Antonsson hits the pen with the large beaker!
Fuck that shit. Merry Christmas.

Haine updated

You now have to wear a labcoat in order to claim the Alchemist Robes or the two department labcoats. Merry Christmas!!

Tuesday, December 23th, 2014

SpyGuy updated

Fixed a bug with secure safes causing mechanics to infinitely duplicate their loot.
To make up for this the Captain and Detective now get their own secure safes.
How does this compensate the mechanics? Not at all. RIP your free gold, nerds.

Marquesas updated

Something is very tasty now. Sure hope it doesn't break on the way down, cause that would be a disaster. Oh, the humanity.

Sunday, December 21th, 2014

Marquesas updated

Here's your pod verbs back proper. Enjoy I guess.
Due to popular request, the secondary system and wormhole hotkeys were removed, and the fire hotkey is now Space.
Wormhole HUD button is coming up. Later.
I'm pretty sure I did something else too but I can't remember for the life of me so that's all.

Saturday, December 20th, 2014

SpyGuy updated

Genetics backend optimizations. You may not notice a difference. You may notice it's smoother than before.
It also may introduce bugs. It's been tested extensively, but I hope you'll help me hunt down any stragglers.

Haine updated

Bees can now wear hats.

Friday, December 19th, 2014

SpyGuy updated

MERRY SPACEMAS!
Krampus returns. Better than ever. Make sure to BE NICE!
Miniputts get their phasers back.

Tuesday, December 16th, 2014

I Said No updated

Facial Hair slot and Detail slot have been changed to Detail 1 and Detail 2 respectivley, as the Beard and Detail lists have been merged. Now the ladies among you have more customization options. Or for the men among you, you can finally realize your dream of having two beards.

Sunday, December 14th, 2014

I Said No updated

Cosmetic choice backend has been reworked. This may affect your current hair, facial hair and detail preferences; just set them back up and save to avoid any further fuss.

Saturday, December 13th, 2014

Tobba updated

Fixed a bug in the beaker application code, applying directly from the reserve tanks may be a lot less effective.

I Said No updated

You may notice a little tab in the bottom left corner - this can be used to switch between hotbars at the top of the screen.
Genetics powers are now buttons that appear at the top of the screen. In addition, some of them have been changed so you can click the button and then your target, similar to Wizard spells.
Late changelog entry: Genetics has been messed with. There's a bunch of new powers, and the rarity ratios have been re-adjusted.
There is now a tier 3 research item that allows you to store mutations in the genetics scanner, whereupon they can be inserted back into a different subject, have injectors made of them, or be combined with other mutations to create new ones.
An example recipe for you: combining the Immolate and Glowy mutations gets you Fire Resistance.
You can also view a list of mutations you've researched and make injectors of them.

Friday, December 12th, 2014

Haine updated

Get ready for the best news ever: you can now build and deconstruct operating computers!!!!!!! WOAH!!!!
Please try to not be too excited
Health analyzers won't detect implants now - only bullets and shrapnel and other stuff you should actually be cutting out.

Thursday, December 11th, 2014

Marquesas updated

Hello. I completely reorganized projectiles being shot. This might mean things are broken.
If things do turn out to be broken, yell at me in an unaggravated, yet confident, but still relatively quiet manner.
In other news, miniputts no longer start with a weapon, however, normal pod weapons now go into both miniputts and pods.
The Strelka is an exception, it still has its shiny russian laser thing.
Tasers are now a bit more dangerous to pods. Yes. Tasers.

SpyGuy updated

Changed ling.
No longer immortal. Made of sterner stuff than humans, though.
Horrorform quite strong now, but it costs DNA to maintain it.
Horrorform no longer a picky eater. Will eat things wearing hats and masks now.

Haine updated

Beepsky no longer gets confused and can finally make his way to the southern end of the station again. You can't outrun a radio! Unless the next beacon is too far away. Then the radio'll just hang out in the pool instead.
Some medal rewards are now claimable more than once, notably the NT-SO Commander Uniform, since you need specific things to get it anyway.
Cloaking generator: no longer useless due to layer issues.
Stamina icon on your HUD will now report details of your stamina if you click on any part of it, not just the stamina bar itself.
The Robotics operating computer will no longer tie itself to an operating table on Mars.
Implants weren't properly being cut out of people; the implant itself wasn't being relocated, so cutting one out from someone just sorta made an empty case and never actually removed the thing - except from the list of implants in the person, so then you could never get it out.

Spacemas is almost here!

Snowballs!

Monday, December 8th, 2014

volundr updated

Rebuilt main loop controller. Enjoy (maybe) less lag.

SpyGuy updated

Punch a borg. May or may not be a bad idea.

Marquesas updated

New secondary systems in the colosseum: Force wall (tier 1), Mines (tier 1).
Shield boosts now restore 25 shields instead of 10.
Comms systems have been added to Colosseum Putts. Communicate with each other simply by talking.
Fixed iron curtain being permanent.
4 new drone types have been added for more variety.
Unrelated: Fire hotspots just became far more dangerous.

Sunday, December 7th, 2014

Marquesas updated

The Pod Colosseum is now officially released for public beta testing.
1-4 players, located north of the gauntlet (accessible via the CRITTER GAUNTLET chutes in the VR lobby)
It also is a preview of the new pod controls which will soon be applied to all pods.
FIGHT AWAY! BE THE BEST! KILL SOME FUCKING DRONES.

Wednesday, December 3rd, 2014

Haine updated

Both HeadSurgeon the box and HeadSurgeon the medibot count for the staff assistant objective.
The Botanist objective to get rid of all cannabis stuff on the station level is now to get rid of it from just hydroponics

Tuesday, December 2nd, 2014

Haine updated

Medibots updated to the new perspective.
I messed with the organization and inheritance of a bunch of boxes. If something's gone weird with them, lemme know.

Monday, December 1th, 2014

Marquesas updated

Added the canned drama sound as requested.
In the form of a dramatic bike horn. Sue me.
It is scannable, and the chef holds the only one.
It also has a secret use similar to that of the bike horn.

Tobba updated

Observers can now see their targets HUD.

November 2014

Sunday, November 30th, 2014

Tobba updated

Touched up the character randomizer a bit, it's not perfect but you wont like complete gibberish anymore.
Ported the human HUD over to the new HUD backend, this required a lot of modifications to the equipping code.
Please yell at me if you wind up equipping a PDA on your head or something.

Haine updated

Patches now can repair bleeding as well.

Power shouldn't arbitrarily fuck up anymore. If it does, it is likely to unfuck itself in 90 seconds. If it STILL doesn't work, we have a bigger problem and you should assault our code directly with a flamethrower.
Wired power -- only available in construction. Machines must be powered by leading wire knots to under them. Light fixtures on the walls require a full wire which ends on the border with the wall.

PDA Forensics Scan will now return the contraband level of illegal items.
That's the same value that makes beepsky yell about infraction levels.
PLAYER SUGGESTION: It would be rad if you folks could punish criminals based on these criteria:
How dangerous is their contraband?
How dangerous or destructive was their behavior?
This would be a lot more interesting than the usual "he's got traitor gear, legit kill time! he has nothing, let him go" stuff.
Changelingchat: I quietly changed health code a few weeks ago. Changelings will only die if their bodies are destroyed. Have fun.

Fixed vampire mist form for real this time. It was counting the vampire as viewing themselves (lol).
You can longer use the new 'me' verb to use emotes from your corpse when dead, despite how hilarious that was.

Keelin updated

Powernet-networking component will now literally just dump every packet it sees onto the component side.

AngriestIBM updated

Um I guess I replaced sigcraft with SigPal, which is kinda like sigcraft but less bad.

Added a 'me' verb for doing emotes. Syntax is just 'me (emote)'. No silly asterix or whatever.
People on fire now light up. There is a quirk with byond related to this if you can figure it out.
Canister bomb explosions tweaked. Now it is much harder to get very large explosions (although the 'small' size explosion is still easy to get and still bigger than tank transfer bombs).
'Attachments' concept implemented to detonators. They now add wires to the resulting bomb for each attachment that control their actions and confuse the defuser.
Three new detonator attachments added to commemorate this new system. Can you find them all??
Oh and vampire mist form should work properly now (and not count every mob in the entire game as in your view)

More updates to the materials backend. Some more materials.
Most of the work today went into material bullets. Yeah you can make LSD bullets or telecrystal bullets or WHATEVER.
Currently only available as .22 cal! You gotta be smart about what you use to fire them.
Don't be shit with this or it's gonna be removed faster than you can say "NO KEELIN DON'T".
Material handcuffs now also apply effects from their materials. Quality and such influence how long it takes to get out of them.
Additive effects have been revised. Go find out what that means. It's nuts, i promise you.

New asteroid shapes, more ore available in general in the mining field. Two new ores to dig up. Ore is now named differently depending on the quality.
Got rid of the delay time when digging asteroids manually. Now it's a chance based thing, starting at 100% and decreasing the greater the difference between tool strength and rock hardness. (shut up)
Hulks are now able to punch asteroids to destroy them. People with the Strong or Hulk genetic effects also get extra strength

Thursday, June 19th, 2014

Dr. Cogwerks updated

Cleared a few default lanes through the random mining field.
Smelter is a bit more rugged now.
Mining has its own smelter now back near the furnaces, might redo the central fabrication area later to accomodate it.

Punching should now ACTUALLY trigger on-hit effects.
Getting hit by thrown effects will now trigger on-hit effects.
Radiation protection should now work properly.

Added some better feedback to the smelter and barrel.

Sunday, May 25th, 2014

Keelin updated

A whole bunch more additive/flux effects for reagents in the smelter.
You can make gloves using the fabricator now.
Gloves now count as weapons in empty-handed attacks (punches etc)
Erebite materials now have a chance to explode when struck. YOU people wanted this. Always remember that.
Clarks contributed new sprites for the additive barrel. Woop!

Sunday, May 25th, 2014

A whole bunch more additive/flux effects for reagents in the smelter.

Saturday, May 24th, 2014

Keelin updated

You can now put reagents into the barrel next to the smelter to use them as additives for you material.
One bar uses the entire contents of the barrel. The barrel can only hold one reagent. You can only use additives once on a material.
This is subject to change.
The rarer / more exotic the reagent, the more dramatic the effect on the material.
Not all reagents have an effect on the materials yet and the ones that do aren't final. This is still very rough.
Reagent name should now influence the name of the material.

Friday, May 23th, 2014

Keelin updated

Added explosion protection and damage properties to materials.
Put a very rough manual on material properties in the smelter room.

Tuesday, May 22th, 2014

Keelin updated

Added material support for more objects. Most notably windows and grilles as well explosion resistance on clothes on humans.
Some internal fixes and changes, nothing interesting.
Do try the custom pod armor and let me know about any problems. It's got the most complex material interactions so far.

Wednesday, May 21th, 2014

AngriestIBM updated

Treads are back for surgery!! The whole single leg dealy didn't play well with the changed limb system and that's why they were gone from surgery.
Treads are now two piece. They're manufactured together for the same price as before (Unless I FUCKED UP) and you can mix and match them with normal legs I guess.

Keelin updated

Material scanner near the smelter. This is a very basic thing to allow you to get a basic idea of what materials do.
Diversified materials a bit. Added more special and unique effects. Gold and stuff made from gold sparkles now. Just because.

Monday, May 20th, 2014

Keelin updated

Preliminary support for material traits (like erebite explosions) for the arc smelter / sheet press stuff.
Material transparency now influences opacity of resulting obj. Go make some see-through molitz walls.
Whole bunch of fixes and internal upgrades.
Uhm. There's also another machine near the smelter now that produces a different item. Yep.
Chemicals and drugs should no longer randomly permanently buff your stamina.
Igniter combos might or might not work properly with chemicals again.

Monday, May 19th, 2014

Keelin updated

Sheets produced by the sheet press using the arc smelter should now correctly work in constructing things.
Many objects now support material properties. Uqill armor would be pretty tough. Too bad you can't actually make that right now. But i guess you can make some fancy/tough walls?!

Sunday, May 18th, 2014

Keelin updated

Trying out some changes to stamina based on feedback.
One example would be being unable to speak on less than a third of max stamina. Numbers always subject to change.
Adjusted the point at which attacks become free. Might or might not drop costs entirely. We'll see.

Sunday, May 4th, 2014

Keelin updated

Now new but important to know: Armor has varying amounts if stamina damage protection. Numbers are not final and need balancing.
Items also have varying amounts of crit chance and stamina damage / cost.
In general, pointy or sharp objects will have a higher crit chance and heavy or large objects more stamina damage. Numbers not final.
Expect to see some items have stupid values that make no sense, probably because i missed them.
Attacks on borgs have been adjusted. Numbers not final.
Kicking someone on the ground will no longer endlessly stun them.

Saturday, May 3th, 2014

Keelin updated

Attacking only costs stamina up to a certain level of stamina - after that it is free.
Getting a crit on someone who is low on stamina will always knock them out.
Blocking works better against grabs.
Can't block with an active weapon in-hand (Turned disarm into harm on steroids).
Fixed an issue where kicking someone on the ground would not do stamina damage to them.
Fixed some circumstances that could lead to mysterious stamina loss.
Various number tweaks.
Farts are free once again. Joke is over. Too many people thought it was gonna stay like this.
Things that will be adjusted: Cyborgs, guns.
Thanks to all the people who helped test things and gave usable feedback.

Supernorn updated

Added a bunch of Clarks' kitchen sprites to the game. The gibber is now animated!
Added Triggerhappypilot (Sigmund Droid) to HOS, and SpyGuy (Jenny Antonsson) to Mentor. Welcome them!

Tobba updated

Cloaker will turn off if you attack anything outside of where you are standing, price reduced to 5 TC to compensate.
Hopefully this makes uses actually creative and not consistent bullshit murder sprees.
Teleporter will no longer randomly decide it wants to kill you.

Keelin updated

After gathering some feedback we're gonna try some new stuff for stamina:
Hitting 0 stamina will no longer knock you out instantly - instead you will become increasingly more vulnerable to stuns as your stamina goes into the negative. This is highly experimental..
However, hitting the negative stamina cap (indicated by a full, blinking stamina bar) will still knock you out.
Melee attacks now have a chance to cause critical stamina damage.
Disarm mode now gives you a chance to block attacks.
Not new but important: The chance of knocking someone down with disarm depends on how much stamina they have. (actual disarming is unaffected)
Increased the stamina cost of farting based on feedback to 50.
If you don't like these changes complain to your fellow players and then post on the forums about it.

Thursday, May 1st, 2014

Keelin updated

Stamina system. Yes this will definitely upset some people and make others happy.
Nothing is set in stone - things can and will change and if you have worries or complaints feel free to put them on the forums.
It's a bit too much to explain in the changelog but this is meant to get rid of some of the RNG in combat as well as provide a new resource to work with.
Yes that means that most objects don't have a random knockout chance anymore - instead things damage stamina and you get knocked out when you run out of it.
Farting costs 6 stamina. I just wanted to say that here.

Experiment: CheMasters, reagent heaters and dispensers are now scannable through mechanics. Lets see how long it takes before I realize this was a bad idea.
RCD now holds 50 ammo, wall construction is cheaper, airlock cost cut in half. Deconstruction costs raised to compensate, this may take some tweaking. Also cut down the time the cartridges take to manufacture slightly.
Cut the manual construction time of walls and grilles to be less godawful.

Keelin updated

Signal-checking Component for the mechanics Lab. Allows you to check if a Signal has a given String within it somewhere.

A bunch of new artifacts. What do they do? Find out for yourself!
Radiation Storm random event redone. You now have to dodge radioactive pulses rather than getting unavoidably irradiated.
Black Hole event tweaked a bit. There will be a few seconds warning in the vincinity when a black hole is about to spawn.
Computer consoles now give feedback if you're doing something wrong when trying to construct them.
The old teleporter (the one in a closet near the owlery) is now a bit more modular and doesn't need to be built in a specific order or layout, as long as all pieces are within two tiles of each other.

Added a new traitor item: WRESTLING BELT
It may have a few things left to iron out, but it should be mostly functional now.
Slam and Throw actions with the wrestling belt require an active grab on someone
Action cooldown delays for the wrestling actions can be reduced by coffee, sugar, nicotine, meth, crank, bathsalts, etc.
Zipguns can now be assembled
Pipebombs can be packed with: fuel, black powder, plasmastone, or erebite

HullCrushDepth updated

Clicking on a reagent container (beakers, buckets, medicine bottles, etc.) in the active hand will switch between a firm and loose grip on them.
Switching to firm grip will cause you to pour out the container's transfer volume when you click on something while loose grip will splash the entire contents.
There is now a confirmation for emptying out plant pots with viable plants in them.
Clicking on equipped stacks of metal, glass, and rods with an empty hand will now allow you to specify the number to take from the existing stack, instead of grabbing one at a time.

Mechanic PDAs now have all the network diagnostic apps
The comments field in QM crate ordering now works as a destination barcode, but ONLY IF you write the proper destination format.
Derringer bullets now pierce armor.
Speaking of armor, I changed a lot of armor stuff a couple weeks ago to use variable armor class multipliers instead of hardcoded amounts
Some things in the suit slot will do slightly different amounts of projectile protection now. Industrial armor is better than ever.
Syndicate space suits, captain's space suit, captain's armor, and some other stuff like that are now a little better than before.
Some suits that aren't armor will soak up a little bit of projectile damage now, even if they aren't bullet-stoppers.

BurntCornMuffin updated

Experimenting with Creative EAX 3D sound and environment functionality!
This means that you all should hook up surround sound systems for the ultimate highly visceral 2D spaceman multimedia experience!
Some areas may sound strange as we are tweaking the environments.
Positional audio not fully implemented, so expect longer sounds to not update their position as they are playing.
Sound ranges may be higher or lower than expected, we are tweaking that, too.

Dr. Cogwerks updated

Randomly-generated goofy cyberpunk drug cocktails can be found scattered around in those ??? pill bottles.
Die a Glorious Death objective returns.
Nuclear self-destruct objective returns. Nuke charge is in the mainframe core below the AI.
Setting off the self-destruct erases the mainframe room, AI core, most of engineering, and wrecks a fairly wide area.
Derringers will fit into a pocket now if you want a quieter way to retrieve them, although *wink is still cooler.
NEW HOTKEYS FOR EMOTES #WOW #WHOA

In an effort to make people sorta care when expensive computer equipment is exploded, telesci now needs the mainframe to work
The interface is about the same though okay!! No command line, I'm not some sort of turbo hitler, jeez.

BurntCornMuffin updated

Flamethrowers now have a nifty particle effect and sound to accompany the already awesome hellmixes you all have been making.

New item: fuel tank. Contains 200 units of welding fuel by default.
Now compatible with standard NT fuel dispensing tanks.
Reworked flamethrowers:
Plasma tanks are no longer part of the recipe.
Instead, large air tanks and fuel tanks need to be attached to the flamethrower assembly.
Try using different reagents in the flamethrower!
UPDATE: Touch reactions now work properly with flamethrowers. This fixes a number of issues with chemicals that 'are fire' rather than 'catch fire'.
Changeling heal rate increased by factor of 3, but is now disabled if the changeling is on fire.

The bartender now has a set of chemistry machines. HEH. (for how long? as long as it's fun)
Food can now heal damage above 0 health (crit) instead of 60.
Higher quality foods have a multiplier to their healing factor, up to 4x currently. More planned soon.
Some adjustments to traitor gear prices, regarding this stuff Wire recorded: http://i.imgur.com/Bht8FTS.png
EMPs, Disruptors, and Tasers (handheld or pod-based) can now disable pod electrical systems
Disabled systems can be turned right back on through the ship tab's computer, so for now, this is mostly just annoying

Infinite Monkeys updated

The AI now has an internal battery, and will attempt to re-establish local power whenever it is moved instead of just blacking out for a minute. If it can't get local power, it will just run off battery until it can.
You can now debrain the AI. Doing so will yield a unique AI brain (neural net processor). To do this, unlock it with a head-level access card, crowbar it open, undo the bolts with a wrench, then take the brain out with a free hand. You can also rebrain the AI if you feel like it.
The AI now visibly shows damage.
Damage to the AI can be repaired. Brute damage with a welder, burn damage by opening the cover and using wires.

---- MAJOR CHEMISTRY UPDATE -----
Changed the star trek drugs to things that are a bit more intuitive to figure out from their names
Taking some liberties with real-world analogues, so please don't go writing any page-long diatribes about how reagent X doesn't behave that way
Things with no real-world analogues will probably involve plasma or mutagen somehow because fuckin' magic whatever
Upgraded the medbay vending machines to have more medications in them
The pharmacy room has a pillmaker and extractor now
Added a whole bunch of new medicines and poisons and rolled some redundant ones together
Chem dispensers have several new elements

Dr. Cogwerks

Cigs can now be lit by hitting them with actively burning items (including money)
You can put cigs out on people now if you want to be a real jerk
Holding a burning item, welder, zippo or ignitor and clicking on something flammable will now set the target on fire.
This means you can set your own jumpsuit on fire with a zippo while wearing it. Welp.
Added a couple of existing poisons to the traitor poison bottle possibilities and added two new poison reagents.
Redesigned the Telesci lab so it now has a public-access door. There are two toggles in the control room for the blast shields.

AngriestIBM featuring special guest Pistoleer!!

Syringe gun is now loaded just by pouring crap into it. Every 15 units lets you fire a syringe. Up to 6 syringefuls at a time.
The syndicate stealth storage no longer prints a big DOOFUS LOADS X message (Though it still rustles) and can be reset after assuming a form, so you can turn it into another thing. (Why wasn't that the original behavior??)

Added pushing others into space or fires to the combat log because turds figured that was a sweet way to get around logs when we investigate adminhelps.

Dr. Cogwerks

Changed the layout of the morgue and crematorium a bit
Roboticists, doctors, detective and geneticists all have their own doors to the morgue
There are now corpse delivery chutes in the medbay lobby and in disposals
Reminder: there is also a chute between the morgue and the crematorium, and the chaplain can now see if he gets deliveries from his office
I expect some mischief with this system.

Re-added the ability to toggle whether you want to hear music played by admins. Note that high-level admins can choose to override this.
Also added a toggle to block the score panel from appearing at the end of the round.
Added three new mutations for geneticists to discover.
Added ID card coloration depending on what department the job is in.
Gave more control over what underwear you want your character to wear.
Changelings can no longer mimic voice while dead.
Trying to use the leap mutation while inside something will now have rather unpleasant consequences for the jumper.
Changed "X slurs something completley unintelligable" to still actually speak rather than just showing a local emote. Don't expect to be able to say anything coherent though.
Same deal as above only with advanced cases of Berserker.

Dismemberment of arms is in. It can be caused by bombs, extreme brute damage and surgery. Be sure to cauterise the stump before you bleed to death!
Arms can be reattached using the medical stapler or replaced with robot arms.
Any surgery requiring an operation table can also be performed on an ordinary table if the subject is unconscious or dead.
Rathen's Secret has a small chance of tearing off people's arms. Why not?

Traders tied in with Quartermasters/Shipping Market have been drastically overhauled. There are now multiple traders who can be dealt with at once rather than one, and they both buy and sell using a system similar to the NPC traders. More content to come on that front.

I spent the station's entire tax return on colored light bulb schematics for the general manufacturer.

There is now a delay between harvests of a plant. I know it sucks, but it was neccessary to avoid lag. Sorry folks!

Apparently some traders had names that were too long to tag a crate with! So, now you just need to label the crates with "trader" to trade them. It's not like there can be multiple simultaneous traders, anyway.

Mixed mode should respect your 'Be Changeling/Wizard/etc' choices now, previously it just checked Be Syndicate and used that to assign all roles.
'Be Gang Leader' changed to 'Be Other Enemy'. Controls rare enemy types like Vampires and Gang Leaders.
Having Head of Security somewhere in your preferences shouldn't override all other choices now.

Tuesday, March 12th, 2013

Significantly buffed the radbow, it should be a lot more sneaky now. No more twang sound or green bolt, faster recharge. Maybe too fast? idk
Removed the word Syndicate from the syndicate pipe bomb. what did it have a giant flashing red logo or something? dumb.
Thanks to a group of players making it their goal to hand out stacks full of instakill murdersoup extinguishers every round, soup now clogs extinguishers

MOPDATE: examine mops to see if they're wet, examine mop buckets to see what reagents are in them, wet mops in kitchen sinks (wtf), look at mops with your friends and have a good time!
Earmuffs will save you from the changeling screech or something.
Reagents will no longer splash on racks, so put all your beakers on them. Go ahead! I dare you!!
People shouldn't scream while they're dead but I didn't test this and I don't care oh my god I don't care oh my godddd

With the lower pressure reservoirs removed it was trivially easy to hit the max effects tier for Pro Burnz engineering (800kW+)
Engine output tiers have been rebalanced with a sweet spot around one megawatt, tiered effects cap raised to 2MW - more planned up here soon
This will make lower output a bit less satisfying maybe but try experimenting with plasma and pump settings
In some configurations you will want slow feeds of certain gases and maybe a rapid OR slow steady release of excessive pressure from the purge line

Monday, March 4th, 2013

Dr. Cogwerks

GRAFT UPDATE: added cash registers to a lot more places, including HoP desk and the brig if you wanna charge bail or something
Charging for services is entirely up to you, it may cause you to get beat up but it might be fun too idk
Ongoing content expansion for the expedition areas, rewards and lore and hazards will keep growing out there
Modified the SMES and APCs out in the expedition areas and prison station so they'll behave better with furnaces hopefully
Check out the new Helmet Cam in Telescience! You can view it from the telesci cam viewer or the televisions in RD, Crew Quarters and Bar.
Gave the detective a standard portable camera viewer like the HoS has, maybe it'll be useful for spying on jerks or something
Removed the lower set of engine pressure reservoir tanks for now to see what happens. Expect the engine to behave more erratically, oh boy
It should be less likely to get those awful pressure inversion problems, and it'll be easier to purge the gas lines when needed
Restricted the pod hangar to engine/miner access only because too many people were being mean, deal with it
Added more air pumps and heaters around the station, more cable coils and diskette boxes, etc. etc.
More updates and fixes and stuff will keep happening for awhile, thanks for all the bug reports and comments so far

Added a new machine to Hydroponics - the PlantMaster, used for seed extracting, splicing and infusing.
The Seed Extractor and Plant Gene Manipulator went to hell and died forever.
Hydroponics equipment comes from a vending machine rather than lockers now.
The starting health of new plants is now affected by a few different things. Bad endurance will cause the plant to have less health, and single-harvest plants gain or lose bonus health from the harvests gene. Damaged seeds also take health from a new plant. Plants will never start with less than 1 health and die instantly though.
Made a whole shitload of changes to the hydroponics under-the-hood stuff. Report bugs, as always.

Hydroponics backend tweaked again. Man what is with me tweaking all these back ends! *giggle
Seed Vendor may work a bit differently but function the same as usual. Report bugs of course.
Added a new guidebook in Hydroponics on how to do good at Hydroponics. It isn't finished yet though since i'm not done messing with Hydro.
Added some new types of nutrient formulas for plants that do various things. What they do is covered in the aforementioned book. Hydro starts with two bottles of each and can mix more if they figure out the recipes.
Added some new mutant gene strains for Hydro crops. These are "general" mutations that affect certain things and can be passed between plant species when splicing seeds.
The Seed Extractor now works instantly rather than making you wait.
Lemons no longer produce Lime seeds. Not that anyone noticed. Or cared.

Thursday, December 27th, 2012

Bath Salts - 7 reagents * heat
CAT DRUGS - 2 botany things, 1 other thing + fuel * heat

I should probably clarify that spies can: implant anybody since security implants are no longer A Thing (Even other leaders! whoa!) and that these are super mindslaves that do not wear off after time passes.
Implantees should be able to refer to their notes (Not the PDA one, the verb one) to see who their boss is. I guess.

Sturdy and Heavy cyborg Heads and Arms are now available. Use two metal on a regular part to make it sturdy, and two reinforced metal on a sturdy part to make it heavy. These parts can take more damage, but are heavy and will slow the Cyborg down a bit. Heavy moreso than Sturdy.
Cyborgs should now be able to suicide.
The bug that let you share reagents with yourself is fixed. Come on, that doesn't even make sense. =I

Tuesday, June 26th, 2012

I Said No

You can now pour your reagent container (beakers, bottles, etc) into someone else's while they are holding it. They need to hold it in their active hand, and both parties need to have Help intent selected.
This also works for cyborgs - the Cyborg needs to have Help intent selected, and has the beaker equipped in a slot and selected. (The square it's in needs to be highlighted in green, basically.)

Cyborgs now have their old appearance sets back. What's more, they can be customised at Docking Stations! (But no self-customisation. You need someone to help you!)
Construction Cyborgs now have floor tiles instead of metal sheets.
Engineering Cyborgs now have the Atmospherics Transporter that Atmos Cyborgs used to have.
Chemistry Cyborgs have their own internal ChemMaster unit now, and cannot use the regular ChemMaster. In addition, using the Chemistry Dispenser is slightly different for them and doesn't involve inserting the beaker.

Sunday, June 24th, 2012

I Said No

Enabled the new-type cyborgs as a test. Some stuff may be substantially different!
Cyborg construction for new-type cyborgs is a bit different. The brain goes in the head piece before attaching, you use a wrench on the frame once it's complete to activate the new cyborg.
After you've opened a Cyborg (crowbar) and exposed it's wires (screwdriver), use robot parts on it to attach new parts, or a wrench to remove existing ones.
Treads are now available as a cyborg component. They occupy both leg slots - they boost speed a bit but drain power from the cyborg's cell.
New type Cyborgs may get a free upgrade depending on which module they pick at the start. Mining Borgs also have the option to teleport to the mining station.
Cyborgs may be repainted and redecorated from docking stations. They look a bit plainer than they used to for the moment but that'll be fixed if this all pans out.

Saturday, June 23rd, 2012

Cyborg construction process is now slightly different. Heads no longer need flashes, and parts already on the frame can be wrenched off if needed. Cells and wires in the chest piece can also be removed with wrenches and wirecutters, respectively.

Cyborg Recharging Stations are now Cyborg Docking Stations. In addition to recharging cells, they can perform repairs, rename cyborgs, and handle the installation/swapping of various cyborg components.
Docking Stations accept power cells, upgrades, modules, cable coil and welding fuel. You can also help Cyborgs climb in by click-dragging them onto the station.
Robotics Research is gone. It'll be back later in some form. For now, Roboticists can make all robotics items right off the bat. Resources is the only limitation.
Cyborgs now start in Robotics rather than AI Upload.

Particular random events now occur based on how long the round has been running. Spatial Tears, Kudzu, Solar Flares and Ion Storms can occur right from the start. Wormholes, blobs, radiation, viruses and meteors will only occur after 40 minutes have passed. Black Holes and Blowouts occur only after 80 minutes have passed.
Blowouts are back in the rotation, as you might have guessed. They no longer blow up all the lights on the station, too.
Meteor random events will now strike from one direction rather than swarming in from all sides. You also get three minutes to prepare before the meteors arrive. Meteor Storms after the 80 minute mark will be far worse than those before it.
Meteor Shield Generators are now available in emergency storage. You can also turn lattices into anti-meteor barricades by using rods on them. Weld barricades to dissassemble them,

Disease Touch is back to being deadly, but is non-contagious. Use it to kill important personnel I guess?
Blood count now displayed in the Status menu.
Cloak of Darkness and Mist Form should work properly now.
Blood draining requires one click and continues until interrupted. It also has a chance to stun/KO.
Other misc changes to cooldowns, blood costs, etc.

New item: Mechanised Boots. Industrial Armor no longer confers a speed boost - the boots do that now.
Geological Scanners now show different decals for different things. Some things share decals, so it is still wise to check before you dig.
Abandoned Loot Crates can sometimes be dug up via mining. Don't ask how they got buried in solid rock.
Changed the Power Hammer. It can be now used mostly like a regular mining tool (pick, etc), took out that stupid "useless collapse" thing.
Fabricator Item Lists can now be filtered by category. The option is down the bottom. Also you can now eject ore even while it's busy building something.
Ore Extractor Upgrades now fit on mining belts.
Fibrilith and Miracle Matter are now properly loaded from using a satchel on the Fabricator by hand.

Reworked a bunch of background stuff for mining. Report bugs if any come up.
Small asteroids now have a chance to be made of solid mineral, containing hundreds of units of ore. You can't dig them with regular tools.
Miners can now create and set up extractor rigs near said asteroids. They will gradually extract ore from them over time.
Upgrades can be made for said rigs that expand their capacity, increase their drilling speed, and give them a teleporter.
You can click-drag a crate onto the rig to empty all ore from it into the crate, or you can smack the rig with a satchel to fill the satchel up.
Rigs will also send messages to miner PDAs if something occurs. PDAs can be put on mining belts now, too.
Moved the cargo pad in Mining closer to the fabricator.
Miners now ACTUALLY have their double mining speed and weird tile warnings perk. It wasn't in effect before because apparently the Chaplain had it instead.
Plasmastone is actually useful for something now. Holy SHIT

Rolled all the fruit/veg/herb commodities in the Shipping Market into a single category rather than having them all be individually priced.
Couple of new commodities. Meat, Robot Parts, Glass, Metal. Maybe some others I forgot.
You can now select the amount of items you want when a trader is selling to the station.

Geological Scanners and Power Hammers now work instantly rather than after a delay.
Any given tile of ore has a rare chance to carry twice as much ore, and a very rare chance to carry four times as much.
Power Hammer cost was changed, and both it and Powered Picks now have more charges.
Power Hammers now have a 50% chance to uselessly collapse a seam on multiple weakenings, rather than 95% as before.
Mining Manufacturer can now produce power cells and flashlights.
New high-end equipment for miners: Mineral Accumulator. Works like a combination between a black hole and a cargo teleporter - will drag all nearby ore to it and teleport it to a cargo pad. Needs a power cell to run.
Two new gems! One is Fibrilith - redeemable for 40 fabric at a manufacturer, or sellable. The other one is best left discovered for itself.
All Manufacturing Units now have an adjustable speed setting. Can be set to run at double or triple speed. Beware! Doing so consumes a LOT of power from the local APC!

New traitor item added for electricians: A fancy Syndicate scanner that can scan traitor gear.
E-mag cost upped from 3 to 5 since they do everything and are really really good. Radio jammers reduced from 5 to 3 because they should be used more, especially now th--BLARGH
E-magging a cyborg no longer unlocks the interface, instead it fries the cyborg's connection to the Laws database. It doesn't compel the borg to help you or anyone. It just removes all laws.

More wizard mode changes:
Wizards start without their robes. They can now retrieve them from the wardrobes - they have a choice of three different styles now.
New selectable Wizard thing: Staff of Cthulhu. Makes corruption ritual faster, hits harder than a normal staff and will horribly shock anyone trying to steal it.
Arrival, Escape and Supply Shuttles, as well as the Solar Panels, no longer count towards the total percentage of corruption.
Corruption percentage count should be more accurate now.

Thursday, March 15th, 2012

I Said No

Wizard mode changes again:
The Chaplain is now the Wizard's natural enemy. He has immunity to all magic and the ability to remove corruption.
Wizards are immune to each other's spells as long as they have their outfit and staff equipped.
The Chapel is a safe haven - Wizards cannot teleport directly into it or use spells inside. This protection stops at 40% corruption, however.
The Corruption now has various effects that get worse as more of the station is corrupted. Wiz and Chaplain are immune to these.
At 30% or more corruption, the Wizard will slowly regenerate health while inside.

Added peanuts and peanut butter. There's also a few secret recipes, uh huh.
Fixed a ton of runtime errors and weird bugs and the main background loop slows itself if the server load gets really bad.
The bosses found out about that sweet hidden VR room the CE built and made us remove it, OSHA or something I don't know. Supposedly some assistant still has the combat program somewhere.
Due to your diligent research and development Nanotrasen is now able to interfere with the science teleporter. It's expensive so they only bothered to jam security.
There's a cool trick for robusting you can do thanks to a certain bug fix. What is it? That would be telling.

Change: The Corruption objective now needs 40% of the station corrupted, down from 50%.
Change: Clairovoyance's cooldown was lengthened from 10 seconds to one minute.

Please report any persisting or new bugs! Thank you!

Sunday, March 4th, 2012

Wizard rounds now work differently. The wizards will win immediatley if they complete all their objectives - which always consist of killing three specific targets and corrupting 50% of the station.
Wizards now start with the spells Clairvoyance and Corruption Ritual. A few more effects were added to Pandemonium.

Infinite Monkeys

Revolvers now come with two spare clips, and ordering revolver ammo gives you three AP clips.

QM shipping list altered: More choices, more descriptions, some old crate contents have been changed.
The worth of Mauxite, Molitz, and Pharosium as a shipping commodity has been lowered to curb exploits. This will be more meaningful later.
Emagging mining explosives now sabotages them so that they blow up in the user's face, rather than unlocking the targets they're usable on.
Traitor Miners now get special job-based syndicate items: hacked low and high yield mining explosives. These behave as old emagged mining explosives.
Both hacked and emagged mining explosives now have their own added descriptions upon examine, to vaguely reveal that something is different about them.
Mind Slave traitor item telecrystal cost has been increased threefold.
RIG suits now actually protect against radiation, as in the blowout random event, and nuclear reactors, etc.

Tuesday, September 27th, 2011

JackMassacre

Traitor roles are now chosen before job roles instead of vice versa. If you are chosen as changeling or traitor, you cannot then be chosen as AI, Cyborg, HoS, or Security, and revheads cannot become those or any head of staff position. However, if you are not chosen as a traitor type, you can now still become one of those jobs. If you want to reliably be chosen for those jobs, simply turn off your "be traitor?" option in preferences for the relevant mode.
Clarified some random event AI laws, cleaned up some logical contradictions, fallacies, and loopholes in them as well. Added an excessively wordy new one.
Doubled the chance that mining a (?) block will yield uqill or telecrystal as opposed to cytine.
Fixed even more game mode checks that weren't accounting for the Head Surgeon position as a head of staff.
Fixed teleport beacon exploit that was still allowing players easy entry into syndicate and wizard stations. Thanks to nice, honest players for admitting to this bug after being carefully and politely threatened.
Mind implant use is a lot more obvious to admins in logs now.
A bunch of additional admin options added for easily spawning human mobs of every job type, both genders.
Moving inside of the DNA scanner in genetics will now close the console window if you have it open. You should require a partner in Science if you want to alter your own DNA.
Attempting to Mind Slave implant someone who already has a security implant will fail, giving both target and user a failure message.

The emergency shuttle in wizard mode will now fail to arrive the first time if called before the 20 minute mark, but will always succeed the second time. This should give the wizard more time to complete his objectives if dealing with a crew of pansy little girly coward spaceboys.
Preliminary human NPC class expansion with fairly convincing combat and arrest behavior.
Tripping on foam will be slightly less stunning now, in accordance with sanity.
Firing a gun from point blank will no longer use up double the ammo/charge.
You will now attempt a point blank shot on any intent other than 'help', rather than only on 'harm'.
A point blank shot's extra stunning time has been cut in half, since it was previously excessive.

Fixed crates scooping up people who are buckled to beds and chairs, causing buggy problems.
Added warning messages when fire damage is applied to people with fire immunity superpower.
Cloakers were not properly being decloaked when shot with projectile weapons. Now they are, and there's a visible message too.

Revhead sorting wasn't checking if a candidate had already been chosen, resulting in one person filling multiple revhead slots. Fixed.
Several checks still weren't taking the newish Head Surgeon position into account as a head of staff. Rectified.

Wizards no longer take up job slots, and don't start with job-specific items anymore.
Valid wizards are now selected regardless of the player's job preferences.
Wizards now start with a Spellbook Uplink instead of a PDA, which only works for the wizard it spawns for.

Nuke mode shouldn't spaz out and cause everything to stop working anymore.
Neutered unstoppable every-superpower-in-10-minutes geneticist griefers.
