Tell me something. It happens often that Medbay is given a bluespace beaker, but the usefulness of a bluespace beaker for actual chemistry is severely crippled by the fact that the chemmaster buffer size is 100. And while you may get beakers often, you will NEVER EVER get a chemmaster upgrade unless you bust someone's balls over it. So basically, bluespace beakers don't help you make medicine at all 95% of the time. Is this fair? Should I suck it up? Since upgrading the chemmaster does more than one thing now, is it too much to ask for the buffer size to be increased by default?

Just PDA message a mechanic or something, or use the requests console.
Isaac Wood
I have LITERALLY never seen a requests console used effectively.
Michael Perry
Judging by the code you can make 200u pills with a fully upgraded chemmaster. Holy shit why does nobody do this?
Charles Young

No, only 100u pills upgraded

From an earlier round >Latejoin CE >AI gets "killed" >Confirm it shunted with the console while people are celebrating >It takes us like 120 seconds to get our shit together and follow the pinpointer after that >30 seconds left when CMO announces it's in the secure armory >Rush there from the APCs I was dismantling >Time runs out as I arrive >"The AI has taken over the station." >Crowd of 10+ people in the core stand around awkwardly as I start hacking it >Captain: "Well I guess the AI won." >Bystander: "That sucks." >Finish disassembling >"The AI has been killed! The crew lost control of the station."
I've never gotten to see that message before, it seems it probably only appears when the AI wins and doesn't immediately nuke, and then gets killed in the remaining 30 seconds before a non-nuke victory.
William Foster
science are a bunch of lazy good for nothing stuck-up cunts that will never give you anything mechanics will infallibly show up roundstart begging for a chemdispenser scan then never be seen near medbay again
and then there's the fact that 200u pills just aren't very useful really
Nolan Morris
depends on the scientist man.

Samuel Gomez
In the last 90 days, only 3 time-release pills have been made, and 2 out of those 3 were never used. Gentlemen, how the fuck do we fix time-release pills?
Gabriel Jackson
Virologists about, internals out.
Isaiah Richardson
They're just there to be a little fun autism for experienced chemists to mess around with, like a RUST for engineers, they don't need fixing
The experienced chemists spoke, they're useless We get more than one RUST per month, and the RUST could ostensibly be useful
Cameron Hernandez
Good round
Isaiah Ramirez
they are only useful for antags and very obvious when used. They also require something uncommon to get, a coin being used in a medvend.
Christopher Stewart
What would you even use those for?
Justin Allen
Three or more pinpointers on the station assuming the ERT brought some with them, and we still didn't get told where it was until it was too late.
Lincoln Parker
make them 100u

Piano Mime best mime.
I was the CMO that round, and to be honest, half the milf rounds I have to fight my own instincts to even do anything about it. Milf is such a shit gamemode, I just want it to end as quickly as possible.

They have NOREACT so they're mostly for stuff like flash pills or explosion pills

they're NOREACT but can't be used for polysmoke, that's about it

Never trust a virologist in a viro suit, they're usually the biggest newfags that just want to see the fruits of their brand new virus
Always trust your fellow virologist that isn't wearing a biosuit
Josiah Collins
Wish the round hadn't ended so soon after the virus got loose. Chickenman coming up to me with a set of advanced lungs that he produced to transplant made me want to never ask for this the whole station.
Zachary Foster
Why would you ever trust any virologist?

Exxion is shitty though
Elijah Hughes
Don't you dare talk ill of Exxion again or I will fight you
Daniel Torres
One of the most afk collaborators, the extent of his work is just redoing what cluster and pjb already did on bay zas. Nothing noteworthy about him.
Justin Butler
You just abstracted a person to literally just "what they submitted in github". Which is not even a meritocracy to begin with. How come people hate PJB if he coded more than Exxion, genius?

Go to bed, Killette
Bentley Evans
dopplegangers aren't a good feature because of the aforementioned stunlocking. the invisibility(?) just makes that worse
Jaxson King
Doppleganger is an overpowered spell.
Jose Cook
If you think the delay between the doppelgangers' shots should be increased, make a Github issue requesting such.
Noah Garcia
get good you're probably not even trying to fight them just reeeing away that the antag got away and slamming ahelp as soon as you can
wrong there have been spells for years that are far stronger
Andrew Johnson
yeah the guy had an invisibility cloak
Alexander Perez
>get good you're probably not even trying to fight them >just reeeing away that the antag got away and slamming ahelp as soon as you can I was a latejoining Security Officer that round. The shuttle was coming in 5 minutes so I dragged beepers around as there were no lethals. I didn't encounter any dopplegangers that round but I've seen them before and I believe they're wonky from what I've seen and heard.
Evan Cooper
Each clone takes 3 adv. laser shots to kill and a wizman can easily fill every section of the station with a small 6-9 mob horde within 10 minutes. Unless you're dragging dual rechargers and half of the armory in your backpack, you can't cut through a horde.
Levi Thompson
Why the fuck are all the new spells so badly balanced >hilariously broken norobes push with short cooldown and NO LIMITS ON WHAT IT CAN PUSH >screen-wide instant hit with 2s cooldown >d o p p >dude snakes LMAO
Gavin Robinson
vg would be amazingly bad if we listened to people like you and had no standards. doppleganger is one of the most retarded op things in the game. they are immune to basically everything, stunlock, take a decent amount of hits to down, cost nothing, have no timer and can teleport. they will literally (literally) win the game for you.
Alexander Stewart

Right, maybe we should brainstorm ways to fix it possibilities: >increase the cost to a full spell (a given really) >hard cap on clones that increases with upgrades >reduce clones health, mixed buff and nerf as its less obvious whether its a real wizard that's teleporting or a clone dying >clones deal an amount of damage to the caster on death
Easton Jones
I feel like dealing damage to the caster on death would be a wrong decision, you'd end up having to babysit the things to avoid getting suddenly nuked by some assistant who hid long enough to make a box full of buckshot. Hard cap combined with a slight health nerf might work. Make the oldest clone "die" and fake teleport so as to give a false positive to an observer of "hey, that one that wasn't damaged fucked off! It was real! Quick, to Cargo!" Maybe a slight speed nerf as well? These suckers run fast.
Kayden Nelson
Exxion doesn't interact with anyone nearly enough to get points for his personality, so all we HAVE to judge him is based on his github profile. And that profile is rather mediocre, especially compared to most collaborators.
Matthew Gray
>"hey, that one that wasn't damaged fucked off! It was real! Quick, to Cargo!" Did tele spell gain an invoke all of a sudden
Luke Hall
Something on the lines of "S'yar Niar [department name]!"
Wyatt Brown
I could have sworn I saw dying doppels invoke teleportation. They'd yell out shit with a wiz'd up department name and go up in smoke.
Aiden Watson
I interact with people on GitHub, and before a few months ago I was much more active on the server But I got kind of burned out again, and also am just really busy this semester
I was going to stay out of this but since I'm here: I'm a lazy piece of shit, so yeah, I don't have many contributions. I'm only a collab because what few contributions I do have (excluding my first several months of work of course) is high quality
