Get proactive - ASK OVER THE RADIO if people want stuff. Most don't bother to go order because either the QM is a) already blowing the budget on paint, bees and lasers, b) Nonexistent or c) Braindead.

I did this as chef and got overloaded with ingredients. QM shipped double my order of crates and boteny filled up the kitchen with rainbow weed. Conclusion: everyone got high.

I haven't played since before the big Chemistry Update. I used to like to go around as a doctor calling myself the Portable Cryo Unit, and find injured people, inject them with Cryoxadone, then spray them with a bottle of Cryostaline to freeze them, and wait. Can this still be done?

Cryoxadone has a new name, and is a bit more involved to make, (I think) but that should still be possible.

Cryoxadone is still Cryoxadone. It is indeed harder to make that before, but also easier to puzzle out now.

Also for the love of god don't put styptic powder in a hypospray what are you doing, no. That goes on OUTSIDE the body, people. OUTSIDE.

This does mean that droppers are better for medicine now than ever before, though.

Having a dropper in the pocket is as important as wearing prodoc now. Of course it doesn't help that so many patients prefer to self-medicate, pour out the tanks in the process, then proceed to die.

Make absolutely sure there is nothing but the required parts on it, or that you accidentally left a part off. Sometimes the "add all" function misses some for some reason.

You can definitely add more than you're supposed to and still have it work, I've done this plenty of times, be it more of something required or something you don't even need.

I started late into a round as a janitor intending to clean up whatever dead bodies had already piled up on the station.
Cue 15 minutes of running around in circles looking for my closet so that I could get to cleaning. I finally found my closet but to my dismay someone had already broken in and made off with all of my cleaning equipment.

Later I find out that "my closet" was actually the warehouse area.

I had a sec officer on the lookout for a mop bucket and the QM ordering up a janitorial crate because I was sure someone had bamboozled me out of my supplies. :doh:


The following round I launched myself out of the mass driver while trying to give someone a space funeral.

I'm so good at this. :downs:

I suppose that's more productive than my spending like 5 minutes flailing around trying to get the window to the mass driver to stay open because I didn't know I could click on it.

The cluwne who requested a funeral got bored of that, got out of the casket, and then went on to kill the wizard somehow.

So, after a considerable amount of time spent reading the old thread and watching videos, I finally decided to try this out.

I spawn in as a fresh-faced assistant, hoping to explore the station a bit and see if I can walk three steps without strangling myself to death. I immediately have to go AFK in the arrival shuttle due to random computer bullshittery, and when I return I find myself being beaten by a clown with a fish. He proceeds to steal my ID and run off. Dazed, I stumble out of the arrival shuttle to find a tourbot. I decide to let it show me around the station. Several dozen robot hugs and long awkward silences later and I finally reach the crew quarters where I swap my gray suit out for a glorious blue party dress. It's at this point that things start to go very, very wrong.

My screen starts flashing and I'm beset upon by ghost cats as the theme from Space Jam begins to blare out of my speakers. I do my best to escape from the feline apparitions as another part of the station is evidently vaporized by a supercharged slam dunk. As I barrel down the hallway, kitten echoes in pursuit, I begin to hear voices in my head confusing me and filling me with dread. These voices are quickly drowned out by the sound of a detective unloading a shotgun into me.

As I lay dying on the cold floor of the station, I could swear for a moment that I saw Elmo float by.

Last night on 1 was fun. Atomicthumbs abused admin powers, flipped the station, and plastered dogs everywhere. Good times. :buddy:

A lot of my friends play this and I've been contemplating on joining the fun at some point.

Some questions on this bible farting business though, just for possible future plans.

1. Is the bible just like a black box that has certain properties, or can you interact with it, say, opening it from certain page and quote the passages?

2. If yes, can you rip off some pages and do these pages retain the same properties as the full bible?

3. If it is possible, can you alter the bible in any way (e.g. pulp it, make papier mache art out of it) and may it still have the same properties as the original bible?

Nope, nope, and nope. The Bible is basically a single, solid object that happens to have a few properties attached to it. You can beat people with it for "fun", or make them fart on it for "Fun!", but those are basically your only two options.

The station flipping was a New Button I am now able to push. I very quickly learned that pushing it a second time does not flip the station (or everyone's HUD) back over.

You can hide booze in it! And if you are the chaplain, you can heal people with the power of Christ. Even if you're in one of the non-Christian outfits.

I don't think you have to be a chaplain to get healed by the bible. That's the "fun" I was talking about by hitting people with it.

Although the booze thing is new to me! Does it function as a container, or as a single-storage unit for a container?
