May 2015

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.

April 2015

Thursday, April 30th, 2015

Haine updated

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

Wednesday, April 29th, 2015

Wire updated

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

Keelin updated

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

Tuesday, April 28th, 2015

Wire updated

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

Keelin updated

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

Sunday, April 25th, 2015

Conor12 updated

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

Thursday, April 23th, 2015

Wire updated

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

Wednesday, April 22th, 2015

Wire updated

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

Tuesday, April 21th, 2015

Wire updated

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

Monday, April 20th, 2015

Convair updated

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

Marquesas updated

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

Sunday, April 19th, 2015

Convair updated

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

Saturday, April 18th, 2015

Convair updated

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

Haine updated

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

Thursday, April 16th, 2015

Daeren updated

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

Tuesday, April 14th, 2015

Daeren updated

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

Monday, April 13th, 2015

Daeren updated

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

Sunday, April 12th, 2015

Wire updated

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

Saturday, April 11th, 2015

SpyGuy updated

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

Friday, April 10th, 2015

Convair updated

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

Wednesday, April 8th, 2015

Haine updated

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

Tuesday, April 7th, 2015

Convair updated

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

Monday, April 6th, 2015

Keelin updated

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

Sunday, April 5th, 2015

Convair updated

• Gibs can now be analyzed for forensic evidence.

Wednesday, April 1st, 2015

SpyGuy updated

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

Marquesas updated

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

March 2015

Tuesday, March 31th, 2015

Marquesas updated

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

Thursday, March 26th, 2015

Wire updated

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

Haine updated

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

Wednesday, March 25th, 2015

Haine updated

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

Sunday, March 22th, 2015

SpyGuy updated

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

Thursday, March 19th, 2015

Convair updated

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

Monday, March 16th, 2015

SpyGuy updated

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

Sunday, March 15th, 2015

Haine updated

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

Saturday, March 14th, 2015

Haine updated

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

Monday, March 9th, 2015

Marquesas updated

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

Tuesday, March 3rd, 2015

Haine updated

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

Monday, March 2nd, 2015

Haine updated

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

February 2015

Saturday, February 28th, 2015

SpyGuy updated

• Chemistry reactions instant again. Some other chem related tweaks.

Haine updated

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

Thursday, February 26th, 2015

SpyGuy updated

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

Wednesday, February 25th, 2015

Haine feat. Convair updated

• Vendor Borg Memorial Update.

Sunday, February 22th, 2015

Hull updated

• Changed how the blob random event works.

Haine updated

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

Saturday, February 21th, 2015

Wire updated

• Added the "Reconnect" command to the menu under File

Hull updated

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

Friday, February 20th, 2015

SpyGuy updated

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

Thursday, February 19th, 2015

SpyGuy updated

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

Haine updated

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

Wednesday, February 18th, 2015

Haine updated

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

Tuesday, February 17th, 2015

SpyGuy updated

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

Wednesday, February 11th, 2015

SpyGuy updated

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

Haine updated

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

Tuesday, February 3rd, 2015

Haine updated

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

Sunday, February 1st, 2015

Marquesas updated

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

January 2015

Friday, January 30th, 2015

Marquesas updated

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

SpyGuy updated

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

Tuesday, January 27th, 2015

Haine updated

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

Saturday, January 24th, 2015

Marquesas updated

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

Friday, January 23th, 2015

SpyGuy updated

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

Thursday, January 22th, 2015

Marquesas updated

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

Wednesday, January 21th, 2015

Daeren updated

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

Sunday, January 18th, 2015

Daeren updated

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

Thursday, January 15th, 2015

Marquesas updated

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

Wednesday, January 14th, 2015

Haine updated

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

Saturday, January 10th, 2015

Marquesas updated

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

Friday, January 9th, 2015

SpyGuy updated

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

Haine updated

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

Wednesday, January 7th, 2015

SpyGuy updated

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

Tuesday, January 6th, 2015

SpyGuy updated

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

Monday, January 5th, 2015

SpyGuy updated

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

Sunday, January 4th, 2015

Daeren updated

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

SpyGuy updated

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

Saturday, January 3rd, 2015

SpyGuy updated

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

Friday, January 2nd, 2015

Keelin updated

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

Marquesas updated

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

December 2014

Wednesday, December 31th, 2014

Tobba updated

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

Monday, December 29th, 2014

volundr updated

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

Saturday, December 27th, 2014

Haine updated

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

Wednesday, December 24th, 2014

SpyGuy updated

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

Haine updated

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

Tuesday, December 23th, 2014

SpyGuy updated

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

Marquesas updated

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

Sunday, December 21th, 2014

Marquesas updated

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

Saturday, December 20th, 2014

SpyGuy updated

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

Haine updated

• Bees can now wear hats.

Friday, December 19th, 2014

SpyGuy updated

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

Tuesday, December 16th, 2014

I Said No updated

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

Sunday, December 14th, 2014

I Said No updated

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

Saturday, December 13th, 2014

Tobba updated

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

I Said No updated

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

Friday, December 12th, 2014

Haine updated

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

Thursday, December 11th, 2014

Marquesas updated

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

SpyGuy updated

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

Haine updated

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

Wednesday, December 10th, 2014

• Canister bomb explosions tweaked. Now it is much harder to get very large explosions (although the 'small' size explosion is still easy to get and still bigger than tank transfer bombs).
• 'Attachments' concept implemented to detonators. They now add wires to the resulting bomb for each attachment that control their actions and confuse the defuser.
• Three new detonator attachments added to commemorate this new system. Can you find them all??

• 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.

• Diversified materials a bit. Added more special and unique effects. Gold and stuff made from gold sparkles now. Just because.

Monday, May 20th, 2014

• 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

• 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

• 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.

• 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.

• Black Hole event tweaked a bit. There will be a few seconds warning in the vincinity when a black hole is about to spawn.
• Computer consoles now give feedback if you're doing something wrong when trying to construct them.
• The old teleporter (the one in a closet near the owlery) is now a bit more modular and doesn't need to be built in a specific order or layout, as long as all pieces are within two tiles of each other.

• You can now debrain the AI. Doing so will yield a unique AI brain (neural net processor). To do this, unlock it with a head-level access card, crowbar it open, undo the bolts with a wrench, then take the brain out with a free hand. You can also rebrain the AI if you feel like it.
• The AI now visibly shows damage.
• Damage to the AI can be repaired. Brute damage with a welder, burn damage by opening the cover and using wires.

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.

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?

• 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

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

Thursday, December 20th, 2012

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

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

I Said No

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

Tuesday, June 26th, 2012

I Said No

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

Monday, June 25th, 2012

I Said No

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

Sunday, June 24th, 2012

I Said No

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

Saturday, June 23rd, 2012

I Said No

• Cyborg construction process is now slightly different. Heads no longer need flashes, and parts already on the frame can be wrenched off if needed. Cells and wires in the chest piece can also be removed with wrenches and wirecutters, respectively.
• Atmos and Vendor borg modules were discontinued due to being borderline useless.
• Substantial background changes to a whole ton of cyborg shit. Report any bugs, please!

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

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

Thursday, June 14th, 2012

I Said No

• Cyborg Recharging Stations are now Cyborg Docking Stations. In addition to recharging cells, they can perform repairs, rename cyborgs, and handle the installation/swapping of various cyborg components.
• Docking Stations accept power cells, upgrades, modules, cable coil and welding fuel. You can also help Cyborgs climb in by click-dragging them onto the station.
• Robotics Research is gone. It'll be back later in some form. For now, Roboticists can make all robotics items right off the bat. Resources is the only limitation.
• Cyborgs now start in Robotics rather than AI Upload.
• Updated a bunch of backend stuff for Cyborgs. Report any bugs, please!
• Gave miners their miner bots and drill rigs back. Sorry about that!

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

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

• 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.

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

Dr. Singh

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

• The Request Console at QM and commercial vending machines now accept ID cards. They use money straight from your bank account so now you don't have to screw around with cash and ATMs.
• Grones Soda now has the flavor in the description rather than the name. The gigantic entry on the vending machine page was bugging me.

• 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

• Control click is now pull. Yep. It's finally the future.
• Added one of those top left corner action buttons to turn your tank valve on and off. You'll still have to adjust the pressure the old fashioned way.

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

• 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 Hammers now have a 50% chance to uselessly collapse a seam on multiple weakenings, rather than 95% as before.
• Mining Manufacturer can now produce power cells and flashlights.
• New high-end equipment for miners: Mineral Accumulator. Works like a combination between a black hole and a cargo teleporter - will drag all nearby ore to it and teleport it to a cargo pad. Needs a power cell to run.
• Two new gems! One is Fibrilith - redeemable for 40 fabric at a manufacturer, or sellable. The other one is best left discovered for itself.
• All Manufacturing Units now have an adjustable speed setting. Can be set to run at double or triple speed. Beware! Doing so consumes a LOT of power from the local APC!
• Cyborg farts have new text to distinguish them from human farts.

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

Dr. Singh

• Why could electricians build Syndicate gear anyway? If Nanotrasen could just make that stuff security would have cloaks in their lockers.
• Electricians can no longer scan traitor gear. They can scan a few more things around the station to make up for the lack. Please let me know if you notice anything electricians can't scan that they should.
• New traitor item added for electricians: A fancy Syndicate scanner that can scan traitor gear.
• E-mag cost upped from 3 to 5 since they do everything and are really really good. Radio jammers reduced from 5 to 3 because they should be used more, especially now th--BLARGH
• E-magging a cyborg no longer unlocks the interface, instead it fries the cyborg's connection to the Laws database. It doesn't compel the borg to help you or anyone. It just removes all laws.
• Added confirmation popup to 'State All Laws' so AIs will be less inclined to reveal things they shouldn't.

• 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.

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

Thursday, March 15th, 2012

• 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.

• 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.

• RIG suits now actually protect against radiation, as in the blowout random event, and nuclear reactors, etc.

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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.
