Can positronic brains get the ability to use the radio if they arn't crammed into something that has one? It kind of sucks if your borg or mech get trashed in some out of the way corner of the station and you can't even call for help.

They should have that if the robo turns the radio on for you. If you use the brain in-hand you can toggle it on and off.
 
That sounds like something that got removed because some coder got butthurt rather than because something that broke unintentionally.
Custom foods was probably removed because of 'powergaming' or some shit. tg reeeee's when one of their pet players gets dunked on so they fuck whatever they got dunked with into the floor.
As far as I know it really is just due to incompetence. A lot of the kitchen was influenced by Goofcode, which can be pretty strange but fun. Unfortunately none of the new coders A) like fun as much as he did or B) understand his code additions very well. Oranges hates the guy too. IIRC it was Goof who removed multiple-deep-frying in this PR three years ago, with the intent to add it back as a special technique: https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/23618

He was going to finish his kitchen masterpiece with stir frying, letting you stir fry any food object, but never got to it because of lack of sprites. You can see that here: https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/30023

Speaking of which, how do i into spriting? Seems like I might be able to not be shit at it.
As far as I'm aware, byond uses 32x32 pixel sprites made in jpeg format but renamed to .dmi format.
 
Is it considered to be the proper thing to do to notify an admin any time you're killed by somebody and you don't know if they are antag or not? I want to keep low quality players down, but also don't want to bother the admin.
Please do, it's much easier to check and see who started it if it's recent.
 
Might fuck around and make some lolcows. What size would the login screen splash be?
Those can be imported at any size and scaled to fit if I remember correctly. I think you can even make a custom one ingame as an admin or mod.
 
When is it proper to kill somebody as sec? If you catch an antag can you just execute them, or are you supposed to ask the captain/hos/admin?
You should ask your superiors if you wanna blast anyone who isn't a changeling.

Though if you have proof someone is a traitor, like if they're loaded with syndicate gear or heretic daggers, you can always restrain them and take them to robotics to debrain instead of just gatting or spacing them. Making them into a cyborg lets them continue playing but also ends their spree as a traitor and removes their objectives.

I'm probably wrong here/not understanding exactly how they work, but aren't lobby screens literally just another part of the game world put in some inaccessible z-level that's you can only really see by way of adminbus? Which is how admins can fuck with them pre-roundstart by adding a whole bunch of shit or changing them entirely?

I recall being able to ghost around and finding the lobby screen somewhere out in the middle of nowhere space, adjacent to a few other things (like the whole glitched up area you can reach with Jacob's Ladder, the snow mini-biome where the Syndicate Nukeops base/ship starts in/returns to, etc.)

Yeah basically.
 
Small thing, but can the break mask work without having to aim specifically for the head? I mean, you can do CPR as long as you're in help intent, regardless of where you're aiming at, so it's not far fetched.

So is it possible to start a fire with the deep fryer? I have been trying to dump various flammable items in and nothing will burn.

I think if you break one they explode, and you can fill a spray bottle or fire sprayer with boiling oil and really mess people up, but I don't think it actually sets stuff on fire.

It was the reverse. You could craft a berry pie with death berries in the olde days but it would be a normal fucking berry pie that can't murder people because reagents didn't transfer. Also, if you sliced a cake with bluespace tomato ketchup on it the resulting slices wouldn't teleport. This was (IIRC) the bug that forced the food refactor.
Then the food refactor was rushed because two people started making it and the first one to finish was to be accepted. The first one was Qustinnus and his refactor added many bugs and removed some features because gotta go fast.
 
So, I get antag and immediately set up a kudzu farm, which luckily spawns very quickly into the round. After becoming a pod person I head off to the alternate garden to refine its mutations, seeing as how it isn't a heavily trafficked area. I forget to disable the camera, though, so after a few minutes the warden comes in, probably having been alerted by the AI. ohfuck.jpg

Instead of fragging me(as is the appropriate response to ever seeing anyone doing anything whatsoever with kudzu), he says that he better not see any vines around or I'll be in trouble. Um, thanks? I relocate to the showers, and continue mutating the vine. Eventually, the warden walks in on me AGAIN. I quickly yell for him not to let it escape, and that I'm just experimenting. I guess he bought it, and walks off. A little while later, the HoP walks in on me, and falls for the same bluff. Then a security droid. :thinking: :thinking: :thinking::thinking::thinking:

Somehow, no one has an issue with me cultivating doomsday vines, but whatever. A few times while cultivating the vines almost overwhelm me, but I manage to get some good ones in there, primarily hardened flowering and explosive. Eventually I propagate one last generation for seeds, and get to work. I begin planting it all around the station. A lot of the power was out due to SM shenanigans, so no one noticed for the first few crucial minutes, and by then it was too late. Warden sees me and is pissed, but I hightail it out of there. Suddenly, there is a tremendous boom.

Apparently, when enough explosive kudzu gets in one place, destroying a single piece of it sets off a chain reacting that pretty much levels everything in the vicinity. I ended getting caught up in it and died. As a ghost, I saw another big clump get ignited and take out probably 20% of the station. Finally, I revive as a maneating plant and goof around a bit before someone calls the shuttle. Me and several other plantbros ride to centcom, fairly chill overall, fairly boring end but hey.
 
Science is missing the E.X.P.E.R.I.M.E.N.T.O.R completely. I wouldn't mind remapping some of Sci to to make room if there's no plans.
