• 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

• 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

• Toggle Deadchat Range is a verb that makes you not hear the living if they aren't, you know, actually nearby.
• Apparently some folks don't like having the chat window spammed by every doofus in the game blathering about nonsense??

• You can now use a multitool or t-ray scanner on a grille to see if it's electrified or not without zapping yourself.
• Changelings can now tear down a grille in one hit if they have harm intent enabled. This is kind of a dead giveaway though.

• Way to go, team! Thanks to everyone being awful, enjoy not having omega slurrypod zombies anymore.
• Why on earth was that even possible in the first place, zombies are dumb as hell and everyone is terrible
• Why are zombies even still in the code at all
• oh uh I also changed syndicate sauce awhile ago hoping people would quietly find out but nobody did
• so give that a try next time you're a traitor chef maybe, it should be a lot better now

• 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.

Tuesday, January 8th, 2013

Dr. Cogwerks

• Trick cigs (syndicools) can now be ignited by fire, sparks and explosions
• Actually all cigs can spontaneously ignite now. You can probably use this for mischief?

• 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

I Said No

• Hydroponics backend tweaked slightly. Plants with mutations now use only Endurance and Potency genes for their requirements.

• Wizards now corrupt terrain faster. The Staff of Cthulhu's corruption time reducing factor has also been significantly increased.

Thursday, December 20th, 2012

• Mutation variants in Hydroponics now work differently - genes have to be in a paticular configuration for the mutation to have a chance of appearing. The requirements and appearance chance for each mutation are all different, too. Happy hunting!
• Hydroponics trays now start the game movable, and may be locked/unlocked with a screwdriver.
• Hydroponics backend code has been tweaked around significantly. Please report bugs to I Said No.

• 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.
• Also plant pots are secured/unsecured with a wrench now. What a crucial change!

Wednesday, August 15th, 2012

Wednesday, June 27th, 2012

I Said No

• 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.)

Monday, June 25th, 2012

I Said No

• 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

I Said No

• 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.
• Atmos and Vendor borg modules were discontinued due to being borderline useless.
• Substantial background changes to a whole ton of cyborg shit. Report any bugs, please!

• Added the Motor Oil reagent. Splashed on cyborgs, it will make them move faster and use less power for a short while. Roboticists start with an oil can - more can be mixed if you know the recipe. Experiment and find it!
• A new oil can sprite courtesy of Clarks! Splashed oil now also stains the floor. Technically this was put in on tuesday and not sunday but eh sod it.

• Plasma Cutter has been replaced by Concussive Gloves. They allow you to mine asteroids by punching them with your bare hands.
• Power Hammer was buffed a bit. It now shatters nearby weak tiles in addition to digging.
• Mining Charges have become Concussive Charges. They work only slightly differently to what they did before.

Thursday, June 14th, 2012

I Said No

• 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.
• Updated a bunch of backend stuff for Cyborgs. Report any bugs, please!
• Gave miners their miner bots and drill rigs back. Sorry about that!

• Added a box of latex gloves to medbay. Made fingerprints left by latex gloves a little more confusing. I'm still working on detective stuff I promise!!!
• Click on a door with a T-ray scanner to see if it's powered, unpowered or electrified!

• 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,

• Lots of vampire changes, still a work in progress, feedback would be appreciated in the suggestions thread. Changes:
• 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.

I Said No

• 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.
• You can now click-drag ore and produce into crates to load them in rapidly, provided the crate isn't locked.

• New arrivals can spawn as traitors in certain situations.
• Non-antagonists with security implants can no longer use cloaks. Traitors who manage to obtain a sec implant can.

I Said No

• 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

Dr. Singh

• Changed the middle click shortcut to just swap hands. Apologies to anyone who liked it but it breaks too many things that were built around the whole active/offhand idea and just feels awkward and wrong.

• The Request Console at QM and commercial vending machines now accept ID cards. They use money straight from your bank account so now you don't have to screw around with cash and ATMs.

• Three new traders for QMs to interact with. One of them is a randomised generic trader.
• You can now haggle with traders. Hit haggle, type in the new price you think you should pay per unit, and the trader will meet you somewhere halfway. Don't try to rip them off or push it too far, though!
• 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.

Dr. Singh

• Middle click now uses your offhand. Thanks MyBlueCorners for putting in the effort on this one. Cue complaints from people with laptops and cheap mice in 3... 2...
• Control click is now pull. Yep. It's finally the future.
• Added one of those top left corner action buttons to turn your tank valve on and off. You'll still have to adjust the pressure the old fashioned way.

• Predators can now force unbolted doors open with their bare hands.
• Added a cell charger to the mining outpost, since they can make cells now.
• Furnace fuel now lasts longer.
• Traders will now periodically contact the station with offers. It is the responsibility of the Quartermasters to accept or decline, and work out the other various logistics of trading!
• Thus far there is only one trader. More will be added soon.

• 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!
• Cyborg farts have new text to distinguish them from human farts.

• As an added bonus, Miners start with powered picks instead of regular ones.
• Plant Pots in Hydroponics now consume half as much water as before.

Dr. Singh

• Why could electricians build Syndicate gear anyway? If Nanotrasen could just make that stuff security would have cloaks in their lockers.
• Electricians can no longer scan traitor gear. They can scan a few more things around the station to make up for the lack. Please let me know if you notice anything electricians can't scan that they should.
• 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.
• Added confirmation popup to 'State All Laws' so AIs will be less inclined to reveal things they shouldn't.

• Also I renamed the electronics data disks to modules so they don't get confused with actual data disks. Do they have any utility beyond plugging into scanners to give you a list? Maybe I should just replace them with a printout of the parts needed or something.

• 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

• 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.
• Exploding machinery sprays shrapnel around when it explodes.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.
