Thursday, February 20th, 2020

- PDAs also have a little bright spot when their flashlight is enbabled.
Friday, February 7th, 2020
- Mordent updated
- Manta wiring fixes. The inner engineering wiring loop is now isolated from the rest of the sub, and that one SMES in the control room is solely responsible for powering the stuff needed for the engine.
- Zamujasa updated
- More elbow grease applied to the character preferences system. Some game settings are now profile-independent, like end-of-round popups and other things.
- Job preferences window is slightly better! Slightly! Hopefully! Report issues as usual, please.
- Windows that don't have chui enabled will now look less like 1999 default websites.

- Zamujasa updated

- Spacebux can be withdrawn from an ATM without logging in. (It's always YOUR spacebux, mind.)

Wednesday, February 5th, 2020
- mbc updated
- New device - the access-pro. Use it to change access requirements of many different kinds of machines. It will copy the access requirements from any ID that you insert into the access-pro. The user must be wearing an ID with id-change priveliges to do this. Find it in the HoP locker.
- Added an AND/OR toggle to the access-pro if you use it in-hand when its empty. This lets you specify if you want a door to require a list of accesses for entry, or allow anyone who meets any one value in the list.
- If a door has 0 access requirements, it can be deconstructed with the deconstruction device now.
- There will probably be some items I forgot to flag as access-changable or some bugs. Please report as usual
- Zamujasa updated

- Fixed a bug where ghosts could peek into place where they shouldn't see.

If your backpack is full you can no longer accidentally attach a breaching charge to it. Expanded to which containers you can piss. Burst canisters no longer block the port forever. Borgs can no longer steal connected canisters and break the port. Some machines could be used from any distance, that's been probably fixed. A certain circle in a certain adventure zone now registers clicks in a more intuitive way.
Sunday, February 2nd, 2020
- Zamujasa updated
- GAME MODE: FOOTBALL
- look its still the second here. im only a few hours late.
- (this is a gimmick mode like battle royale, but worse)
- mbc updated
- Deconstruction Device will appear in engineer lockers as well as mechanic lockers.
- The Deconstruction Device can now be used to deconstruct more kinds of objects, and not just things mechanics have created (either click in-hand or use mousedrag). When you deconstruct an object, it turns into a mechanics frame that can later be soldered up at a different location. Most things will require some tool use to deconstruct as well, depending on complexity of the object.
- There will probably be some bugs or objects I've forgotten to whitelist as 'deconstructable'. Please report if you encounter those!
- Gerhazo updated
- Fixed a lot of miscallenous inhand sprites. More items should now be visible on your character when they're in your hand. Please report any oddities like an item suddenly using a weird not-fitting sprite.

Saturday, February 1st, 2020

- Gerhazo updated
- Fixed the interaction between ghosts and the destabilizing projectile. You can return to busting ghosts.

- Frame deploying action is interrupted by more things, such as starting several deploy actions at the same time, sorry!.
January 2020
Friday, January 31st, 2020
- Zamujasa updated
- Liquid dark matter will no longer meatcube mobs when it reacts inside a container. Instead, it will deal brute damage dependent on the amount created in the reaction. Large enough reactions will also destroy the container.

- Gerhazo updated

- The issue where there may have been multiple "Construction Worker" roles in the job preferences menu should be fixed.
Wednesday, January 29th, 2020
- mbc updated
- Fixed bot pathfinding to not get stuck on unopenable doors.
Tuesday, January 28th, 2020
- mbc updated
- Moved hold-at-gunpoint functions to the new item grabs framework. Hold any gun and click someone on Grab intent to hold them hostage. This behaves similar to the old gunpoint mode, but now it's more flexible and you can get a tight hold + pull the target around.
- Fixed bullets that throw the impacted player, like shotgun rounds - they were throwing in basically random directions instead of the direction the bullet was moving and weren't throwing at all on pointblank shots. Also, players who are thrown through the air by bullets will no longer be able to counteract the throw by running (this behavior is unchanged for normal throws)
- Zamujasa updated
- Firebots will now correctly spray firefighting foam fires, making them approximately 90% more useful.
- Floorbots changed a bunch. idk. Maybe they'll be less awful now.
Monday, January 27th, 2020

Sunday, January 26th, 2020
- Zamujasa updated
- Attempted fix for atmos misbehaving when fixing breaches / building.

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

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

- 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.

- 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.

- 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".

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

- 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.

Saturday, November 4th, 2017
- Mordent updated
- Created the omnitool for cyborgs, which can cycle between modes comparable to screwdrivers, crowbars, wrenches, wirecutters, and multitools (click on it while in-hand).

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

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

- Finally, you can grab player critters. Rejoice.
- You can't choke them out, though. Most of them don't even breathe, anyway!

Sunday, June 11th, 2017

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

Sunday, May 14th, 2017
- Wire (on behalf of Tobba) updated

Friday, May 12th, 2017

Saturday, April 15th, 2017

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

- 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 Black Hole event now takes longer to de-stabilize, and is more obvious.
Sunday, February 12, 2017

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"

- 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.

- ZeWaka updated

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.

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!

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

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

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

Saturday, October 1st, 2016
- Tobba updated

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

- Personal note: A year ago today, SpyGuy proposed to me. We would never have met if not for Goonstation. Thank you to all the coders, admins and players that have made this game great and formed the community that helped me meet the person I love.
- I apologize for the above gushy feelings nonsense. It's just that kinda day.
