- 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.

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!

- 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

- 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.

- 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.

- 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

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.
- Thanks to Urs for this exciting new feature & thanks to Schwick for the new sprites!
- Zamujasa updated
- PlantMaster spliced seeds now merge the names of the seeds as "Xxxyyy" rather than making "Hybrid Xxxxxx".
- Botany's UV lamp and mister have a range of 2 instead of 1, so you don't have to keep them directly next to plants.
- The UV lamp also actually acts like a lamp.
- Produce grown in botany will have names based on splices and mutations. Sometimes it might carry over to things made with them, who knows! *This almost certainly broke something esoteric I didn't find so please report any bugs
Thursday, December 26th, 2019
- Zamujasa updated
- Messed with the PlantMaster Mk3 UI. Feedback appreciated.
Wednesday, December 25th, 2019

- Azungar & Keelin updated

- Nanotrasen faction reputation is now enabled. You can earn (or lose) reputation with Nanotrasen. Currently there are no features if you lose it enough, but gaining enough earns you some cool rewards.
- The ocean around NSS Manta is SWARMING with Syndicate Gunsharks and Fishdrones, seems like they are launching a full frontal assault now that the Nanotrasen Commander is here.. Stay tuned for more as the war between Nanotrasen and Syndicates heats up.
- Yes, faction reputation persists through played rounds. Get grindin'!
- Zamujasa updated

Wednesday, December 11th, 2019

- Corpses will release small amounts of a gaseous slightly-toxic reagent 'Miasma' into the air as they decompose.
- Lowered wait time for ghost critter spawns a bit.
- Flourish updated
- Added wasp grenades as a new traitor botanist item. They cost 4 evil nerd bucks, let me know if you think they're too weak (or strong!).
- Zamujasa updated
- To change the text on AI Law modules, you must use them in hand. They will no longer prompt you just by picking them up.
- The law modules have also been cleaned up and their descriptions somewhat updated.
- You know how when there were multiple AIs, and using a Rename would rename all of them? That sure was awful, good thing it's fixed!
- There might be problems related to these changes that I couldn't test. Please report any bugs like not getting law update dings or other weird crap.
Tuesday, December 10th, 2019
- Zamujasa updated

Tuesday, November 26th, 2019
- zamujasa updated

Monday, November 25th, 2019
- kyle updated

- Kudzu-people are here! Dead bodies on kudzu tiles will be changed into kudzumen. Their goal is to live in harmony in the station and cultivate kudzu... Mostly. NT has kidnapped their God, the Captain's Bonsai Tree
- They get a couple defensive/healing abilities and take damage when not standing on kudzu tiles. The defend their kudzu, but aren't necessarily antags; not that they would be good at it anyway with their low stamina and speed. But they can stop and start the growth of kudzu in areas.

- 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)

- 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)

- 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
- Grab rework : Removed grab level 2. Merged level 2 and 3 grabs together into one grab. There are now 3 grab levels : passive, aggressive, and strangle.

- Special Attacks - these have been in the game for a few weeks now, may as well mention it here. Click any distant tile on Disarm or Harm intent to use a special that is tied to the weapon you are holding. You can only do this if you have enough stamina. Some weapons have unique specials - we will be adding more over time!
- Keelin updated
- Implemented a status effect system.
- Experimentally switched stuns over to new system.
- There WILL be incorrect stun values etc. Well over ~1000 references to stuns had to be changed. There's guaranteed to be mistakes in this. Let me know if something is misbehaving.
- Keep in mind that not everything that "stuns" you actually uses the stun var. So if you don't see the status effect for a "stun" it probably doesn't actually use stuns
- Weakened now moved over as well. This accounts for 2/3 of stuns.
Saturday, April 7th, 2018
- MBC updated
- For those of you who use the chatbar : Press ESC or ENTER(when the bar is empty) to shift keyboard focus back to the game window. This means that if you're sending a message with the chatbar, you can just double-tap ENTER to shift focus back to the game instead of using mouse clicks.

- 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.

- 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.
- Cirrial updated
- Added a popup when a ghost possesses a soulsteel item to remind them they shouldn't be murdering dudes, COME ON. COME ON, GUYS, PLEASE STOP

Thursday, June 15th, 2017
- ZeWaka updated
- Implemented Throwing stuff patch by Arborinus.
- Cirrial updated
- Finally, you can grab player critters. Rejoice.
- You can't choke them out, though. Most of them don't even breathe, anyway!
- Slightly less arcane error messages for trying to scan critters into the cloner or do surgery on them. You still can't do either of those, but at least you won't be scratching your head about space mice not being carbon-based lifeforms.
Wednesday, June 14th, 2017
- ZeWaka updated
- Implemented Tall Hats patch by Arborinus.
Sunday, June 11th, 2017

- When I fixed mesons, I don't think they were supposed to be THAT green. That's fixed now.
- I also installed an on & off button on them, to toggle the GREEN VISION. Don't ask how the button works for the meson eyeballs. You don't want to know.
Sunday, June 4th, 2017
- Cirrial + Gannets updated
- Added a whole new bunch of cargo packs by Gannets.

- 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.

- The AI and cyborgs can toggle the APCs with the OPEN key. Annoy a spaceman by flashing the entire room, not just the lights.

Monday, May 15th, 2017

Sunday, May 14th, 2017
- Wire (on behalf of Tobba) updated
- The default clicking behavior has been changed slightly. Where before there was a flat 1 second delay for click-actions to register, now there is some fancy grace periods, so it should seem more responsive and less like you're spamming clicks on shit for ages waiting for something to happen.
Friday, May 12th, 2017
- ZeWaka updated

- Those tools i was talking about? You should be able to actually manufacture them now. Woops.
Wednesday, March 29th, 2017

- Hey maybe tooltips wont steal focus and flash whitespace errwhere how about that huh.
- Credit to EMP Fingers and Cgrn10 for helping me debug tooltip issues for like 2 hours solid.
- As always, your first round or two with the new tooltip code will probably be broken as fuuuuck because of caches. Just roll with it.
- This patch was pushed and quickly reverted last week after it broke clicking on things for people. Maybe now it wont do...that. Original Date: Sunday, March 19th, 2017
Thursday, March 23th, 2017

Wednesday, March 15th, 2017

- 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.

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

- 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.

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

Sunday, November 27th, 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
- Bathroom stall doors can now be locked, and those (and wooden doors) can be picked open with screwdrivers.

- SpyGuy updated
- Added ability for changelings to give control of their body to members of their hivemind. Useful if you wanna impersonate someone REALLY well.

- ZeWaka updated
- Implemented Ability Labels and Nitrogen/Air Extracting patches by Urs and Mortvert respectively.

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
- Keelin updated
- Added support for 2-handed items.

Sunday, October 23th, 2016
- Somepotato updated
- Security scanners! If you walk through these with contraband on you will make it boop angrily.
- This is not a traitor detector! Contraband is anything that Beepsky will freak out over if you were holding it.
- Except this doesn't care if you're security or not. They're typically placed at brig entrances.
Friday, October 21th, 2016
- Somepotato updated
- Sponges fit in pockets. Thats gross though, don't actually do it.

- We thank all our geneticists for their patience in this matter.
- 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.

- MBC updated
- New changeling ability 'Morph arm' - transform one of your arms into a stronger one for about three minutes. Costs DNA depending on the transformation.

Saturday, October 8th, 2016
- Tobba updated
- Hooked up the current lighting system to the backend of the new lighting system and ported some features over.

- Hold a gun in both hands at once to fire both at the same time.

- New 'Handspider' ability will let the changeling pick one member of their hivemind to turn into a weak scouting critter. Cost is 4 DNA and one arm.
- Use the 'Silence Hivemind Member' ability to boot players out of your hivemind if you'd rather not keep them.
Saturday, October 1st, 2016

- Fixed up Marquesas' bows a bit.

- 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.

- Wire updated
- New popups! Sorta. This is an introduction of a brand spanking new popup framework we're testing. As the end-user, you wont see much beyond an initial style change, but trust me some magic is happening behind the scenes.
- Yes this changelog looks a little janky with the new theme, will fix. Also if shit goes real south and your changelog can't be closed or whatever, just issue the "Changelog" verb and it will go away.
- (New popup framework coded largely by Somepotato)
Monday, December 7th, 2015
- Haine updated
- Destiny only: Security Officers now have access to everywhere but heads' offices and other command locations (bridge/EVA/AI/etc). HoS now have all access plus their armory access. Please don't abuse this so I don't have to remove it again.

Sunday, November 29th, 2015
- SpyGuy updated
- Tweaked how conveyor belts work. They should now be significantly faster. As such the cargo routing system can actually be used to deliver things in a timely manner!
Friday, November 27th, 2015
- SpyGuy updated
- Fixed a long-standing issue with clown car reliability.
- This update brought to you by our sponsors, the Tinfoil Hat Society.
- Haine updated
- Mentorhelp is now hot pink. This is partially (mostly) because mentorhelps were getting lost in admin PM messages since they were all the same blue color.
- F3 is now a hotkey for mentorhelp.
Wednesday, November 25th, 2015
- Haine updated
- New wizard outfit available, made by Gannets!

- A brand new interface for the pathology computer. It's cool as heck.
- It's also kind of experimental, fitting for a sciencey department.
- Haine updated
- New/"New" HUD styles: Classic, the blue and green style from early goonstation days, and Mithril, a HUD style by quiltyquilty.
- Fixed: "You're too far away from the left hand to deal a card!"
Monday, November 16th, 2015
- Haine updated
- New HUD sprites, courtesy of Bartorex! Additional thanks to Somepotato for setting up a dmi with the sprites, and letting me have said dmi, so I could be lazy.

October 2015
Monday, October 26th, 2015
- Wire updated
- Enabled tooltips on all the health HUD information (for Humans). They have the same description text as when they're clicked. I am unreasonably pleased with how this turned out.
Thursday, October 22th, 2015
- Haine updated
- Eye surgery! It's janky and awful. Probably also buggy. Let me know on the forums!
- It's spoon-scalpel-spoon, and you need to use both tools with the hand on the same side as the eye you want to do surgery on. Right hand for right eye, left for left, like that. It was either this, or pop-up prompts.
- Eventually surgery in general will be re-written and this will all be less stupid. For now, though, please enjoy this terrible mess.
Wednesday, October 21th, 2015
- Haine updated
- Pills no longer need something to be in a beaker/whatever already to be dissolved. Realistic? No. More fun? Yes.
Saturday, October 17th, 2015
- Convair updated
- Buffed the Staff of Cthulhu a little to hopefully make it a more viable choice, especially when considering that you have to sacrifice a spell slot for the thing.
- Use the associated ability and it'll magically show up in your hand (or on the floor if you have both hands full), and the staff is also a slightly better melee weapon than before.
Thursday, October 8th, 2015
- Wire updated
- Tooltip support for pod UI buttons
Tuesday, October 6th, 2015
- Wire updated
- Added some swanky tooltips to the game. They appear for most ability buttons in the top left of your screen.
- A notable omission are pod buttons. They're a bit more difficult.
- This is using some hitherto unknown black magic to pull off and could be either very laggy or just plain broken so uh, we'll see how this goes.
Monday, October 5th, 2015
- SpyGuy updated
- Guess what. NI3 got ran into the ground. You horrible jerks.
- Now it's gone until I can work out what to do with it.
September 2015
Wednesday, September 30th, 2015
- Convair updated
- Given that very little nuke round development took place since May, it seemed appropriate to finally make some simple but significant adjustments based on user feedback.
- Added seven new target areas. Some are more in the crew's favour than others, but they're all temporary and will have to be rebalanced for Cogmap 2 anyway.
- Timer now defaults to 8 min, and unscrewing the nuke halves the countdown instead of dropping it to 60 seconds. The good ol' auth disk can be inserted to add (crew member) or shave off (nuke ops) 3 min once, but this is entirely optional.
- The Syndicate leader spawns with an old-fashioned auth disk pinpointer. His team may want to use it to infiltrate the station stealthily in preparation for the main strike.
- Made the nuke invulnerable to explosions (shame on you, suicide bombers). However, it actually takes damage from melee attacks now, and a couple of people with looted eswords will make short work of it. Unchanged: you can also shoot, laser or EMP the nuke.
- Removed some 2011-era code that would magically teleport the nuke back to Z1 under certain circumstances. The pod method of dealing with the nuke should be more reliable as a result.
- Late-joining antagonists no longer make an appearance in this game mode.
Saturday, September 26th, 2015
- Keelin updated
- Added an option to select your preferred targeting cursor to player preferences.
- Ported over number binding for abilities to changelings, wizards and vampires. ctrl+shift click an ability to enable binding mode, then press a number you want bound to that ability. This only works in WASD mode.
- Made some changeling and wizard abilities "sticky". This means they will stay on your cursor after using them unless they are on cooldown afterwards. Clicking their button again or pressing the assigned hotkey again will remove them from your cursor.
Friday, September 25th, 2015

- Fixed a longstanding issue where monkies would be nonresponsive to rajaijah. This probably pleases a handful of people
Wednesday, September 23th, 2015
- SpyGuy updated
- Fixed explosions doing no damage to people.
- Nerfed pipe bombs because by default they should not be able to gib a dude. Sorry guys, you'll just have to make them stronger if you want to do that.

- Wire updated
- Reduced the resource file even further (by another 20mb or so) with help from ErikHanson.
- Some sounds might be a bit off! There's like 2000+ sound files so we couldn't test them all. If you spot one that does, please post in this topic: http://forum.ss13.co/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=5865
Wednesday, September 16th, 2015
- Wire updated
- Ok it's back in (with some additional help from ErikHanson), this time the sprites shouldn't be visibly affected.
- HAHA JUST KIDDING OF COURSE THIS FUCKED STUFF UP. OF. COURSE. (Changes reverted)
- Reduced the resource filesize by like 25mb or so because I'm freakin' awesome.
- Ok it's like, 90% because Somepotato made a thing for me but I'm still taking the credit ok.
Monday, September 7th, 2015
- Wire updated
- Fixing up a bunch of popups that I probably broke with the CDN introduction. This includes: the Material Recombobulator, the Workbench (smelter) and the Artifact Research Computer.
- Fix for the traits popup appearing underneath the top byond titlebar, preventing movement/closing.
Wednesday, September 2nd, 2015
- Convair updated
- Due to popular demand, wrestling moves don't use manual aiming anymore in case there's only one target nearby.
- Inconsistent behavior is unintuitive to some extent (and was the motivation for that particular change), but it's acceptable if you prefer the status quo.
Tuesday, September 1st, 2015
- Convair updated
- Sprites for all changeling abilities have been added, courtesy of Sundance420.
August 2015
Monday, August 31th, 2015
- Convair updated
- Wrestling belts no longer use the legacy verb-based system.
Friday, August 28th, 2015
- Haine updated
- Radioactive Blowouts were disabled for a little bit and now have been enabled again after some fixes.
- PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF: you get irradiated in an area where you don't think you should get irradiated during a blowout
Wednesday, August 26th, 2015
- Hull updated
- Added some protection for wraiths losing both of their lives too quickly. Added: New genetic effect, chemical, and food
Tuesday, August 25th, 2015
- Convair updated
- Vampire: did away with the legacy verb-based system. Abilities should be easier to use as a result, and provide better feedback to the player.
Monday, August 24th, 2015
- Wire updated
- Enabled what I'm calling "CDN resource mode". This basically stops byond from sending you files necessary for popups and such, and instead links to where they are hosted on an external server (goonhub).
- This replaces the resource preloader thing and will eliminate all popup related lag. Aside from that, you shouldn't notice much difference.
- However, if you do spot a popup with a broken image or broken styling or whatever, please let me know.
Sunday, August 23th, 2015
- Haine updated
- Added an AZERTY mode for WASD hotkeys. Look for the toggles in the Toggles tab and your character preferences.
- Daeren updated
- IT'S A WRAITH REBALANCE HOEDOWN, EVERYBODY GET HYPE
- After a bunch of testing and discussion I've made a bunch of changes, some major and some minor. If it goes well I might bump up wraith spawn rate.
- The Big Change: Absorb Corpse's cooldown starts at 45 seconds and scales exponentially with each use. Much faster early game, much harder to get into scientific notation with your wraith points.
- The Big Change 2: Wraiths can only survive one banishment now, instead of two. When banished, Absorb Corpse's scaling and cooldown are reset.
- Revenants make a bigger, angrier red message when animated.
- Push has apparently had a very long-standing bug where it didnt work right on objects or doors, w h o o p s that's fixed now.
- Possess Object's cooldown reduced by 30 seconds.
- Salt lines can now be destroyed by careless foot traffic. Walking dramatically reduces the chance to scuff up a salt line, but its still not a great idea to put them in incredibly high traffic areas. Try using walls or redundant layers.
- If you notice any added bugs or weirdness dial 1-800-IMC-ODER
- These tweaks, as always, are subject to re-tweaking based on further testing and input.
Thursday, August 20th, 2015
- Wire updated
- I know this changelog window is looking a little weird around the titlebar (probably). No need to message me about it, I'll fix it when I'm not hella tired.
Sunday, August 16th, 2015
- SpyGuy updated
- Adding gimmick reasons / details to assassination missions. Make sure your targets know WHY they're on the list!
- Huge thanks to, in no particular order, ErikHanson, Nurdock, Azungar, Nitrous, Dabir, Xavieri, oxy and Gannets for the great help in coming up with these!
- Haine updated
- Added a command to toggle seeing mentorhelps on or off for mentors. Somehow we made it this long without having that. Whoops!
- May be buggy, I can't really test it fully by myself. Let me know if there's a problem!
Friday, August 14th, 2015
- Convair updated
- Added shortcuts for the AI's internal radios. Prefix your message with ':1', ':2' or ':3' respectively.
- AI shells and AI-controlled cyborgs can also use them, assuming you have a mainframe and it isn't incapacitated.
Thursday, August 13th, 2015
- SpyGuy updated
- Modified the resource distribution code to make joining rounds smoother.
- In case any web-based interfaces / windows behave strangely, please report it on the forums.
Sunday, August 9th, 2015
- Convair updated
- AI shells and AI-controlled cyborgs now have access to the 'Open nearest door' verb.
- SpyGuy updated

- It can also set its own colour at will.
- Nukeops pinpointers now point to the nuke instead.
Saturday, August 8th, 2015
- SpyGuy updated
- A new attachment for tank transfer valves! Wow!
- More pressure = more better.
Thursday, August 6th, 2015
- volundr updated
- Made atmos drain rooms with holes in them much faster. This causes less lag, but has the side effect of making you die. Wear internals when shit gets busted.
- Fixed a memory leak related to animation and matrix transforms. Should make for much less round-end lag.
July 2015
Friday, July 31th, 2015
- Convair updated
- Fixed click-dragging barcode labels onto crates and stuff. Cyborgs might find it useful.
- Also fixed the optical meson upgrade for cyborgs.
Thursday, July 16th, 2015
- Convair updated
- Certain assemblies are somewhat more flexible now:
- Mousetrap bomb (+ non-chem grenade), mousetrap car (+ non-chem grenade and pipe bomb), suicide bomb vest (+ non-chem grenade and pipe bomb).
- Haine updated
- The ice moon lattice bug should be fixed now. Lemme know if not.
Wednesday, July 15th, 2015
- Haine updated
- ProDocs now accept health analyzer upgrades. This lets them scan people's health from a distance. Click on the goggles in-hand to toggle it.
- Fixed up pens and the like so that they use fancy fonts again.
- Everyone now starts with a (probably) unique handwriting style and signature.
Tuesday, July 14th, 2015
- Wire updated

- Infinite Monkeys updated
- You can now name your save profiles. The name is displayed instead of a number under the Load menu.
- Heads can now be impaled on rods, up to three per rod.
Monday, July 13th, 2015
- Wire updated
- Three new buttons in the top-right with corresponding verbs. Will open up relevent pages in your browser. No more lazy people mentorhelping for the wiki.
- The chat should possibly maybe preserve history on round restart now (instead of clearing). We'll see if this actually works
- Infinite Monkeys updated
- Syndicate and Wizard modes will no longer end instantly if the antagonists die. Instead, once they are all dead late join antagonists may begin to appear. This won't happen if the bad guys are kept alive and locked up somewhere!
- You can now chop off people's limbs from the strip menu while holding certain items. This is slower than surgery, but only requires them to be unable to move.
Friday, July 10th, 2015
- Infinite Monkeys updated
- The power transmission laser's earnings are no longer linear. Feedback is needed on the forums - even just posting data on round duration, peak laser output and your earnings would be helpful!
- The PTL beam will now change alpha depending on how much power it is transmitting.
Thursday, July 9th, 2015
- Wire updated
- Prototype popup window reskin thing! Only applied to this very changelog window at the moment.
- If it completely messes up for you, just use the "Changelog" verb again to close the window manually.
- Major credit to Somepotato for the original idea and code.
Wednesday, July 8th, 2015
- Infinite Monkeys updated
- Added a load more object suicides. See if you can find them all!
Saturday, July 4th, 2015
- Haine updated
- Underwear now works like hair and all that other nonsense and your old underwear choices are probably now broken, so go re-clothe yourselves you naked freaks.
- The thing that randomizes appearances now works the same regardless of if you're doing it via the character options panel or a DNA scrambler. It used to be two similar but different sets of code. Might be a bit buggy from the change, let me know.
June 2015
Monday, June 29th, 2015
- Convair updated
- The captain's antique laser gun can now be repaired. How? Up to you to find out.
- You may want to use some decent-quality replacement parts, though.
- Haine updated
- You can now use an AI interface board in place of a brain when making a cyborg. This allows the AI to use the borg's body. This is a terribly hacky mess and it's undoubtedly still buggy for the moment.
- AI shells can now be built with any power cell you'd like. Why would you use a really big cell in a shell? Who knows, but you can.
Thursday, June 24th, 2015
- Haine updated
- Another stationary chemicompiler in the test chamber itself.
Wednesday, June 24th, 2015

- I Said No updated
- Additional genetics UI tweaks. Markers will now turn white when you have the correct sequence.
- Added Autocomplete feature. If you have already activated a gene once, you can hit autocomplete to get the sequence. Encryption locks must still be broken, however.
- Added Booster Gene Y and Booster Gene Z.
- High Complexity DNA is easier to unlock now (2 locks instead of 4), and also can be used as a wildcard in gene combination.
- Appearance and Body Type are now fully accessible from the beginning.
- Removed: Booster Gene Q, Saturated Junk DNA, Hair Follicle Research, Body Type Research
- Haine updated
- Removed a bunch of sprites that were no longer needed - if you see something weird happening with clothing like a missing sprite, please let me know.
Sunday, June 21th, 2015
- SpyGuy updated
- Adding an automatic ban for clientside mods that affect data being sent to the server.
- In case you are running any sort of mods and still wish to play here you should disable them now.
- If you don't know if your client is modded or not it isn't.
- Convair updated
- Reworked medical sleepers, which should now be capable of keeping light-crit patients stabilized for a reasonable amount of time (as opposed to being pretty much pointless).
- They're still no substitute for a doctor, but it should buy you enough time to grab the right type of medicine from the medical vendor or something.
- Hull updated
- Split medbay off into seperate areas for the lobby and operating theater which should spread out the APC drain.
Wednesday, June 17th, 2015
- I Said No updated
- Genetics interface changed a bit. Grey genes have not been researched, yellow ones have been researched but not activated, and green ones have been activated.
- Fixed a bug that prevented you from adding stored mutations to a subject.
- Convair updated
- The experimental generator (available through QM) is now capable of charging APCs, and I also buffed the charge rate.
Tuesday, June 16th, 2015
- Convair updated
- Back end changes to porters (Port-a-Brig etc) and old (non-PDA) remotes.
- Home turf and remote-to-device link aren't hard-coded anymore. Click-drag the machine onto a floor tile to designate it as the new home location.
- You can order additional Port-a-Brigs from the cargo bay if you so desire.
Sunday, June 14th, 2015
- Infinite Monkeys updated
- You can now buy things directly from the Supply Request Console outside the Quartermasters' Office using money from your personal account. It's still delivered to the same place, though, so you'll need the quartermasters to give it to you.
Saturday, June 13th, 2015
- Convair updated
- Added Port-a-NanoMed remote to most medical PDAs, and a Port-a-Sci remote to the RD's PDA.
- I Said No updated
- Activators that have successfully activated a power in a human (not monkeys!) can be recycled by putting them back in the genetics terminal.
- Doing this yields various rewards, and will decrease research costs and times up to a cap.
- One of the new rewards is Chromosomes, which can be used on activated mutations to improve them in various ways.
- The research time and cost reduction research articles are gone, as they are obsolete due to activator recycling.
- Booster Gene A, B and C are also gone as they were obsoleted by the new chromosomes feature.
Wednesday, June 10th, 2015
- Convair updated
- Security and HoS PDAs now come pre-loaded with a Port-a-Brig remote. Also added a few blank PDAs to the sec vending machine, considering that redshirts are a frequent target for PDA bombers.
- Wire updated
- New 'Link IRC' verb. Associates your byond username with your irc nickname. Will be useful in the future for certain IRC bot commands.
- I Said No updated
- Genetics can now access DNA samples directly from the station's medical database instead to having to scan them.
- Activating a gene from someone's latent pool no longer causes any stability loss.
- Geneticists can now create Activator syringes, which only activate latent powers.

- Improved the controls for input and output of the laser.

- Job Genocide: Kill all crewmembers of a particular job.
- Off the Heads: Kill all the head personnel.

- The mining department now starts with a Mineral Accumulator.
Tuesday, June 2nd, 2015
- SpyGuy updated
- Tweaked critter backend, should significantly reduce lag.
- Critters might be lazier as a result. Please report any issues.
- I Said No updated
- Pod communication systems are now used to interface with dock controls. If you don't have a comms system or you have the wrong one, you'll be denied access.
- Syndicate pods start with a different communications system to station pods. You can't just go in through the pod bays anymore.
- Haine updated
- There's now a civilian radio channel, for chefs/botanists/etc.

- New stock market event type.
- Also adjusted the effects events have. Overall, they should leave a larger dent. Or a larger profit in your hands.
- Convair updated
- Gun components have finally been updated for the new projectile code.
- Infinite Monkeys updated
- Engineers can now sell power with a giant laser. Thanks to Gannets for the awesome sprites! It'll definitely need adjusting so please leave feedback on the forums.

- Marquesas updated
- Dump out any storage objects by taking them in a hand and click-dragging it onto the ground (or a table).
- Convair updated
- Light bulb fixture parts can now be crafted from metal sheets. Also fixed the bug that made it impossible to attach them to reinforced walls.
- Keelin updated

- Short-sighted trait now spawns you with glasses.
- Toned down kleptomaniac slightly and made sure it only fires when you're alive.
- Career alcoholic will now only somewhat slur your speech.
- Traits are now visible in the medical records.
- New traits: Deaf, Adamantium skeleton, Cat eyes, Infravision, Spacephobia, Robust genetics, Good genes, Bad genes.
- Removed Trait: Overly soggy
- Mutations gained through traits will now show up in your notes.
- Haine updated
- Fixed not being able to unlock APCs with a PDA that has an ID in it. Made swapping IDs quicker, just click with the new one and the old one will automatically be ejected.
Tuesday, May 26th, 2015
- SpyGuy updated
- The pray verb returns. Use it to in an attempt to gain the attention of whatever god happens to be listening.
- Note that divine attention may not be something you want and it might not end well for you. Use at your own peril.
- Also there's a high chance that nobody is listening, but you never know...
- Keelin updated
- First batch of traits.
- All traits are subject to change. Especially ones that change damage, health or stamina. They are controversial and we're just gonna test this for a bit.
Monday, May 25th, 2015
- I Said No updated
- The nuke should no longer repeatedly detonate when the timer counts down.
- Examining the nuke now shows whether or not it is unsecured, and how much time is left on the bomb if it is armed. It also shows roughly how much damage the bomb has taken.
- Keelin updated
- Putting down the framework for selectable traits in your player options. The stuff that's in there is all silly placeholders (but they do work).
- It might be a bit unresponsive & look like ass until im done.
Sunday, May 24th, 2015
- Marquesas updated
- Adding events to the stock exchange. Good analysts may be able to predict the outcome. Bad analysts will lose a lot of money.
- SpyGuy updated
- Refactoring crates into a new standard. Report bugs with crates and crate-like things if you see any.
- I Said No updated
- Nuclear Emergency mode has been substantially changed. The operatives must now take the bomb to a specific location on the station, arm it, and then make sure it detonates.
- The crew ideally must prevent the bomb from being armed, but if it is it can either be destroyed by various means or unanchored by using a screwdriver and taken off the station map to avoid the station's destruction.
- The nuclear bomb can be loaded into pods. Also, the nuclear disk no longer exists. Good riddance.
- More changes to come. This stuff is WIP for now.

- Fixed a shitload of html encoding issues (or lack thereof) affecting newchat.
- Fixed a bunch of exploits reported by Somepotato.
- Please note I am a terrible coder so I'm not 100% sure that I didn't just break everything. Let me know if the following start screwing up:
- Fabricators, vending machines, the HoP ATM computer thing, the PDA Ticketmaster module, pod "Create Wormhole" action, adding power cells to a recharging dock, removing a cyborg's brain and basically every mechanic tool that spits text to chat.
- Good luck!

- Changeling acid spit now functions as a splash of fluorosulfuric acid rather than that illogical knockout biz it did before.
Monday, May 11th, 2015
- Convair updated
- Tweaked electric chairs a little. You can either...
- 1) Deploy them in a powered area as usual (lethal does around 80 BURN).
- 2) Wire them directly into the power grid. Don't bother if the engine's output isn't half-decent, though.
- Wire updated
- Clickable links in the chat area will now open in your default browser (rather than all IE all the time).
Sunday, May 10th, 2015
- Wire updated
- Greatly reduced the spam of "Connection may be closed..." messages.
- Now you can choose up to 5 strings to highlight. Also the strings and the color persist through rounds now (they save themselves).
Thursday, May 7th, 2015
- Wire updated
- Improved an annoying bit of the chat output with regards to focus stealing. Now, if your focus happens to be on the chat output and you start typing, it will send the first character to the input box (whereas before it skipped the first character you pressed).
- Also fixed a mildly rare occurring error for the chat output in cases on blank messages being sent to it. If your output tended to break entirely at random points, this will probably fix that.
- New option: Clear all messages. Pretty much what it sounds like.
- Marquesas updated
- It's-a me, Marquesas doing more changes which:
- - Best case scenario, go completely unnoticed
- - Worst case scenario, break people attacking eachother (a p insignificant feature)
- All I'm saying is if something is off, please write it down on a paper, go to your nearest DongLabs Customer Support Window, get in line with the 50 other outraged players and hand it to the nice lady with the butt hat.
- On the plus side I no longer need a plastic bag while looking at mob attack code so there's a plus.
Monday, May 4th, 2015
- Wire updated
- Fixed ctrl + c on highlighted text in the chat output not actually copying text.
- New chat feature: highlight string. Will put a yellow background on a defined string for all future messages. Probably mostly useful to highlight your own name.
- Marquesas updated
- Fixed numerous issues with the new changeling ability system.
- Everything finally seems to be using this new system. This may have introduced several regressions, however. Keep me posted.
Sunday, May 3rd, 2015
- Keelin updated
- Rewriting large parts of the material system. Expect wonky behaviour until I'm done.
- Quality of asteroids now affects quality of the resulting material. Material quality now changes the maximum of property values (toughness etc.).
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.

- 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

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

- 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.

- 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.

- '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:

- 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

- 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

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.

- 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

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

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.

- The butcher's knife now does more brute damage (any at all vs none) because whoops when I was converting things to the bleeding system I accidentally forgot to return the brute damage stuff to it. Whoops!!

- They're just resprited crates but they look distinctive!

- Dear god I haven't touched this in weeks. WEEKS.
- Right, so, some of you may have noticed that #1 is running construction continuously now.
- Build your own station! PvE only!
- 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.

Thursday, October 16th, 2014

- 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 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.

- '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??

- 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

- Clarks contributed new sprites for the additive barrel. Woop!
Sunday, May 25th, 2014
- Keelin updated
- 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.

- 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
- The Arc smelter above the central warehouse can now be used (with ores and bars - try 2 different ones).
- And uhhh ... i guess you can make a crowbar with the thing next to it.
Tuesday, May 6th, 2014

Monday, May 5th, 2014
- Tobba updated
- Added speech bubbles over people when they talk.
- Keelin updated
- Trying out some changes to stamina based on feedback.

- 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

- 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.

- Messed around with Meteor Shield Generators a bit. They have snazzy new icons, can have their shield range set by using the right click menu, and will tell you about their power consumption rates when examined.
- Recycling units can be set to retain any resources they output internally. This should be very convenient when combined with communal pooling.
- You can drag and drop any manufacturing unit onto a floor, table, rack, openable crate, or functioning manufacturing unit to make it output anything manufactured or ejected there.
- A recycling unit for the Mechanic's Workshop.
Wednesday, January 8th, 2014

- MD and Armory now have tranq rifles. Welp.
- Haloperdol was always meant to be the tool of choice against drug-fueled rampages, but it was too hard to dose them
- These darts contain that stuff, 10u per shot divided by target's armor class.
- It's less obnoxious than the old sleeptox syringe gun vigilantes, I hope - shorter naptime.
- Try not to make me regret adding these.
- Also the guards have a smoke launcher now, use it for mildly-hazardous area denial against crowds I guess? w/e
- That's pretty much the role pepperfoam was meant for, as a step towards this thing.

- The above plus even more medicine.
- Fortified wine.
- Recipe for hairgrownium.
- Hairgrownium but stronger and faster.

- 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.
Monday, March 25th, 2013
- Infinite Monkeys
- Chemical reactions can now take place inside mobs. What could go wrong?
Sunday, March 24th, 2013

- Infinite Monkeys
- 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
- Dr. Cogwerks
- 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

- Big piles of weed can now be dragloaded into the engine furnaces.
Monday, March 11th, 2013

- Engine code tweaks are ongoing.
Wednesday, March 6th, 2013
- Infinite Monkeys
- Added the ability to make a two-way portal in telescience, uses a huge amount of power so yell at the engineers I guess.
- Procitizen
- 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!!

- Added an engine-related suicide!
Tuesday, March 5th, 2013
- Dr. Cogwerks
- 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

- 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
- AngriestIBM
- 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??
Saturday, March 2nd, 2013
- I Said No
- You can now use a multitool or t-ray scanner on a grille to see if it's electrified or not without zapping yourself.

Friday, March 1st, 2013
- Dr. Cogwerks
- Welcome to the new station!
- A very helpful robot named Murray would just love to show you around, he may be waiting in arrivals? unless he is already giving a tour

Tuesday, February 19th, 2013
- Dr. Cogwerks
- 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
Sunday, February 17th, 2013
- ISaidNo

- When changelings use stings, spit or scream, they will now get a placeholder like wizard spells do so their abilities menu doesn't shift around.

Wednesday, February 13th, 2013
- ISaidNo

Monday, February 11th, 2013
- AngriestIBM
- Added confirm dialogs/cancel options to some changeling powers (Regen/Speed Regen/Transform/Lesser Transfer), because sometimes you DON'T want to explode into a writhing mass of tentacles in a crowd armed with laser guns.
Sunday, February 10th, 2013
- ISaidNo
- 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.

- Infinite Monkeys
- Individual body parts don't have damage limits any more because it was Really Dumb.

Friday, January 18th, 2013
- Infinite Monkeys
- Rewrote mentorhelps, hopefully they should be less buggy and awful now. If they are broken or buggy let me know.

- AI/cyborg door shortcuts. Ctrl-click opens/closes an airlock, shift-click bolts/unbolts it. Considering a change to make all keys and mouse buttons electrify doors indefinitely.
- A large number of small changes and bugfixes over four years, considering I haven't personally updated this before.
Wednesday, January 9th, 2013
- AngriestIBM
- The station IT department has upgraded security consoles to Secmate 7, primarily because the back of the box promised that everyone responsible for Secmate 6 had been fired into a star.
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?
- Also I don't think cigs were properly causing fires when thrown into flammable stuff, so that should work now.
Monday, January 7th, 2013
- Dr. Cogwerks
- Changed the available traitor weapons for spymode significantly. No more emags for spies.
- The remaining gear they can order is all stuff that feels spy-ish.

- 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.
- Took the requirements completley off certain mutations. It's back to the old 8% chance rule for one mutation type per plant.

- 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.

- The new plant seeds weren't showing up because I accidentally added them to the wrong seed vendor in the code.
- Because there are two functionally identical but separate seed vendors defined.

- 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!

- 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!

- 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.

- 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

- 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.

- New gamemode: Mixed. It's not in the rotation yet because it still needs some live testing.
- 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.

- Local Air Monitors now produce annoying beeping sounds when there's an atmosphere problem in compliance with Space OSHA standards! Place your bets on when this will be removed!
- I Said No
- 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!

- 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.

- The new electronics update requires 2x buzzers, 4x diodes, and 5x fuck mport's awful code.
- 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.
- Dr. Singh
- Thanks to Tobba for the updated lighting code. Lighting is now calculated differently, allowing for some neat new tricks.

- More wizard mode changes:

- 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.

- Dr. Singh
- 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.

- 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.
- Engineering space suits are now twice as slow to move around in when walking, and are immensely slower when traveling through space. Examine desc updated to reflect this.
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.
Tuesday, September 20th, 2011
- JackMassacre
- 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.

- Valid wizards are now selected regardless of the player's job preferences.
