🥝 Community Kiwi Space Station 13 Server (2024 edition) - Space Station 13

[BradCarter]

God willing I will be on in 2 hours and a bit.

Ah Ive got work tomorrow. Dont know if anyone else will be on. Solars in engin are hooked up so you just gotta turn them on and refill the engine if power is out

I want the return of the overly clad outside grilles of the old stations. Boxstation just wasn't built to take waves after waves of meteors, especially not the highly explosive ones we have now.

Note the plating skirt and the grilles encompassing the entire station. Riviera's current station has even more protection than this, but only in certain areas. Engineering has 4 layers of whipple grilles on the outside, yet xenobiology is entirely naked, as well as many other areas. It makes it very easy for meteors to slip by, which can be seen while observing where stripes of the station are largely unharmed while deep gorges get exploded around them.
Speaking of mapping, what the fuck, the roboticist doesn't get a surgery table anymore?? How is he going to make new borgs, outside of posibrains (which no-one uses)? That alone curses every roboticist to just be "that guy who builds a Ripley with an HMG and blue-on-blues the entire station".

>Minor Syndicate Victory?
>The two surviving syndies were on the shuttle but still around the station, should've died
>they Allahu Ackbar eachother on the way back "home"

My major skill issue: Not talking on syndiecomms enough and getting annihilated with the station. Niggers are black, roses are red; syndies split up, water is wet. I still want the Nuke to actually fuck up the station, peppering it with random spots of fire, explosions and radiation without instantly killing everyone aboard, like it used to on Goonstation.

>AMBATTUCRY

Yeah, the player versus environment modes like Meteors, Blob should be weighted lower in the Secret round rotation. Ideally, there'd be a chance for an additional sleeper traitor in any round to keep people guessing (and because sometimes matters turn into full blobstended). Traitor (and Extended) are the bread and butter of SS13, they're the soul borrowed from the likes of Paranoia or Werewolf (and, in my opinion, the timer on traitors' heads kind of lessens that, it's artificial pressure that encourages quick kills).

They were all of them deceived (or simply did not care).

PSA: Don't play Queen unless you know what the fuck you're doing. Maybe not related, didn't see a single live xeno, apparently queenie was competent enough. You'll abort the round and make the jannies mop up your incompetence. Which, if you're aiming for that, 'atta boy.
Xenos appears to be in a good place (apart from disarming still being shit for xenos): It's 50:50 on which succeeds, depending primarily on skill. Not so much constant weak xeno spam (though I liked that for its own reasons). But I'd give them the ability to shred monkey boxes and spit on monkey cubes to make 'em expand to give them a fighting chance.

Oh, and for the guy wondering about oldestation Goonstation, just go here. It's close enough, even if it might not have old Donut station. I believe I posted other old codebase links in this thread previously.

Speaking of mapping, what the fuck, the roboticist doesn't get a surgery table anymore?? How is he going to make new borgs, outside of posibrains (which no-one uses)?

Its still there just fully enclosed so that its easier to conduct illicit surgery activities without people peeping in from the hall. Many old classic stations featured this for the same reason. Also has anesthetic now.

Bug & feature request report @geckogoy

• The issue of Nuke Ops' red 'S' HUD letters not appearing around fellow ops/disappearance of them around your character still persists;
  • apparently it applies to revs with their 'R's as well (needs testing);
• Headrevs aren't named as such to distinguish them from regular revs when Revolution ends;
  • the roundend summary doesn't announce whose victory it was either;
• Unlike every other booze bottle, beer bottles cannot be smashed over heads;
• Xenos' roundend summary was fucked last time I checked (I missed almost all of the rounds this session so I wouldn't know if it had been fixed or not);
• Roundend summary cannot detect carded AIs;
• Add wheelchair(s) to Secondary Medbay Storage;
  • make them craftable or obtainable via Cargo;
• No in-hand sprite for Welding kits (backpack welding fuel storage used to fight blob);
• Conveyor belts cannot be crafted or deconstructed;
• Nuke Ops' nuclear warhead and the paper containing its code do not spawn roundstart if the current gamemode is not Nuke;
• Detective's Evidence bags are broken - cannot put items inside;
• Emergency shuttle (and I suspect every single other shuttle, for that matter) no longer gets spaced upon breaking windows to space during the hyperjump;
  • still get spaced just fine while docked at Departures or upon arrival at CentCom, it's that hyperjump area with fancy graphics in particular that appears to break Atmos simulations such as ZAS;
• Dirty leftover trays left after eating Chef's waffle dishes are called 'waffles' for some reason;
• Cargo supply pack for Supermatter Shard Crate cannot be purchased because it does not exist in 'supplypacks.dm';
  • makes SM engine unavailable without admemery, leaving engies with just 4 engine options (messing with default TEG setup which isn't very interesting given that an individual TEG cannot exceed a 300 MW output threshold; solars that IIRC do not provide sufficient wattage to power the entire station with their default setup; P.A.C.M.A.Ns that are only useful to power a specific local area of the station; Singularity that takes hours to set up from the ground up);
• Singularity Engine parts (read: Emitters, Field Generators, Particle Accelerator, Gravitational Singularity Generator, Radiation Collector Arrays) required to create a very basic setup are EXTREMELY expensive even if you use that console at CE's office to purchase a few crates;
  • this means you have to use persistent cash from your own bank account anyway; if you had a faggot clown steal 65k$ from the whole crew over the course of a single shift, leaving you with just 87$ in total - you're shit out of luck!
  • Solutions: either drastically lower the cost of supply crates from Engineering tab at Cargo or add more parts (PA and Singulo Gen at least) to Engineering Secure Storage;
• Zuhayr the CODENIGGERMONKEY deleted RUST engine (tokamak) 4noraisin;
• Cargo tug train could honestly use some neat SFX like engine startup/shutdown, driving ambience, cart attachment/detachment noises, etc;
• Fix fake walls plox;
• One should be able to open broken non-bolted, non-welded airlocks with a crowbar instead of having to fully deconstruct it;
• Make malfunctioning orange hand tele portals have a dangerous interaction mechanics instead of just being solid objects that can't be interacted with;
  • make them actually animated like the normal blue portals as well;
• [Common] Arrivals Announcement Computer (follow) states, "A new AI has arrived on the station." - nothing happens when 'follow' button is pressed, should teleport your ghost to AI's location (AI core) instead;
• Mimes permanently lose miming abilities after cloning - unfortunate oversight;
  • from what I could understand, this stems from the fact that Vow of Silence is retarded snowflake code instead of being a gene like Clumsiness;
• 'Follow' and 'Jump to Mob' verbs from Ghost tab are no longer working;
• Blobuli AI needs to be rewritten to prevent them from wandering too far from their factories or flying off into space;
• There's only one Advanced Energy Gun available at the ERT area - there used to be plenty of at their Armory at some point;
• Our current taser guns (one-hit, hitscan, no cooldown between shots, laser properties like passing through glass and grilles) are objectively too OP right now: either exchange their projectiles with Stun Revolver's orb taser shots for the /vg/ and old /tg/ stun combat experience or make them balanced 3- or 4-hit stuns (I agree that taser guns previously requiring 5-7 hits to land on the target made them way too weak, but one-hit stun for this type of projectile is not fair either).

Lmao, can't believe I've made you lay low for the rest of the round just by going around showing everyone a shitty piece of paper from Bridge.

Its still there just fully enclosed so that its easier to conduct illicit surgery activities without people peeping in from the hall. Many old classic stations featured this for the same reason. Also has anesthetic now.

Double post but it would've been better if you made that area enclosed with reinforced glass that can be tinted at Roboticist's discretion like at Heads of Staff offices instead of regular walls that look odd and out-of-place at that particular area.

 

[Cuban Pete]

Privacy shutters and spray painting windows and lights were my fav things to do en-masse if I got bored on Bee.

 

[Midwit]

When we get squirrels, can you add a surgery for them so I can stuff grenades into them and release remote detonated squirrel bombs around the station?

That would be nuts!

 

[Dyn]

Somebody should appeal their ban on tgstation and monke so their admins have to say out loud that they'll ban you for playing on the no-no server.

I'm not sure we have tintable glass (or e-glass). Probably not. But there should be frosted/one-way glass, which would suffice. The walls do look out of place.

Nuke Ops' nuclear warhead and the paper containing its code do not spawn roundstart if the current gamemode is not Nuke;

That's a feature, though. Why would the syndies need a nuke if they don't exist? The station nuke has a different code.
And the Vow of Silence is better as a trait of the mind, not genetics. Clowns should be genetic retards, but Mimes merely promised not to speak. It's not like all genetically mute people become mimes (but all retards do become clowns (or cows)).

If you're not playing clown like an absolute madhouse retard, you're doing it wrong. Clowns already act like retards, it's in their genes!

We do have tintable glass, like I said refer to Heads of Staff offices.

Because the admin-spawned and future midround nukies would need it.

I guess, but it should persist after cloning regardless.

Somebody should appeal their ban on tgstation and monke so their admins have to say out loud that they'll ban you for playing on the no-no server.

One of the farmers already did but it was >handled on discord (denied, asked to appeal again after ~1.5 months) and besides, they didn't want it to be posted here. IMO the bans themselves saying "association with Kawaii Farms UwU dilating rn!!1" is basically this, it's just that because nobody made a thread on r/SS13 about it, the news kinda flew under a radar of everyone outside of this website and the /vm/ thread.
Though yeah, appeal via forums has a big lulz potential so it'd still be a funny thing to do.

 

[Dyn]

Though yeah, appeal via forums has a big lulz potential so it'd still be a funny thing to do.

I don't know how funny it'd be, but on tg at least they seem pretty transparent with their ban appeals and admin policy and the forum users are free to make threads to commentary roast the ban appealers and/or badmins, yet this has been a very quiet banwave that nobody's talking about. If they're comfortable with throwing preemptive permabans at anyone who plays on Riviera Station that's up to them, but they should at least say it out loud.

I play on tgstation now and then with zero notes/bans/issues whatsoever, so I'd be interested to see their response if somebody* who got banned makes a polite and professional forum ban appeal asking why.

*somebody who wasn't screenshotted screaming 'TRANNY TRANNY NIGGER NIGGER' like a retarded ape, preferably
