And I thought I went overboard loading 50 floor tiles into a disposal outlet in order to shoot them at and kill someone.

The splittable stack I wrote is generic and really low level, everything just needs to be switched to use it. Then it'd all act the same! Everyone would be so confused.

This would be loving amazing and would save so much headache. No more right-clicking a Botany crate and immediately lagging for thirty seconds.

On that note, would it be possible to change the names of items depending on the amount? e.g. "50 metal sheets", "32 melons", that sort of thing. With that + something like right clicking for "Grab 1"/"Grab 5"/"Grab all" it would make managing stuff a lot easier.

The stacking of items is a good idea until you get to someone actually holding 200 george melons. SS13 isn't the most realistic game, but

Stacks are usually limited to a certain amount in some games so you avoid 7 billion melons occupying the same spot. I'd imagine stacks of 100 for small items just acting as one object until split.

Collect enough on one spot and you'd just cause a melon singularity.

What is the saxophone solo that isn't God Only Knows, Baker Street, that Eurovision song, or Careless Whisper? It's the one that sounds lonely, if anything. This is important. Hell, I didn't even know that God Only Knows had a saxophone in it.

Speaking of sax solos, I've had the following suggested for addition to the rotation: Mercy Mercy Me, Takin It To The Streets, Just The Way You Are, The Logical Song, Just The Two Of Us, Maneater, and Time Of My Life. I don't think any of those are actually in the rotation though, so they're probably not the one you were looking for, Bachelor.

Found out about SS13 from Razage's ongoing LP which has been hilarious so far. Thanks to him for doing it and Daeren for being a hilariously awesome admin. While I'm at it, thanks to everyone who worked on the wiki which has a lot of info and people who like Dr. Cogwerks who keep the game running and updated. Just seeing the LP and reading the game stories so far has been awesome. Haven't been able to actually play though. Sorry for the tech support question, but whenever I try to connect to either of the SA servers I immediately get "Connection Closed." Any idea what's going on? I didn't want to post on the BYOND forum because I can connect to a different server fine, just not the two SA ones. On a more positive note, it's great to see new features getting implemented - the keyboard shortcuts (i.e, WASD) are great, and reading the thread when the tickets were first implemented was hilarious. The remake looks like it's going really well too! With all the quality work that goes into this I'm really surprised I didn't hear about it sooner. Here's hoping the LP will bring more good players to the game (and hopefully they'll be able to make it work)!

I would like stackable glass shards a lot, it would make cleaning up after an explosion a lot easier. Use the stacks when you want to put the shards in a dispenser, break the stacks apart when you want to make a barefoot obstacle course. Similar QOL thing.. broken light tubes currently do nothing except cause clutter. It would be nice if they could either be reclaimed in a fabricator or they just didn't exist at all-- like prying a broken floor tile does, clearing the space and producing nothing.

Regardless, I'm glad I found out about SS13 just to read the threads for stuff like this. It's great to see how different games can be and still have something awesome going on. And just like somebody said earlier in the thread tickets are good at forming a story. Even if I can't get the connection through BYOND to work I'm definitely going to keep tabs on the remake so I can pounce on that when it's ready.

So, I logged in for the first time in quite a while earlier today and tried to do the wasd hotkey thing. I hit tab, and got a message saying that wasd mode was activated, but I was still typing into the chatbox instead of moving. I tried clearing the chatbox of everything, including the "say:" part, but I couldn't seem to get it to work. What did I do wrong?

You're not an idiot! It's obtuse as hell. Basically when you INSTALL BYOND, you wind up with a little program called byond.exe. Run that. It'll have you log in. The first thing you should do is File -> Preferences -> Pager Type: None. Otherwise you'll get about 14 thousand invites to lovely Naruto RP games, and nobody wants that. Once you've logged into the pager app dealie, you should be able to connect to the goon servers no problem. From there, Something Happens which authenticates you as a goon, I don't think it involves the BYOND pager at all, but something the server does. I don't really know for sure.

It's okay though, all you lose out on is the lovely goonsay channel where goony goon gunes say nothing because they're too busy getting burned by a plasma fire.

So I installed this and was able to figure out how to play and everything reasonably easily. I'm just a bit confused. Whenever I hit the directional keys to move, I seem to move anywhere between 1 and 3 spaces. Is there some sort of hyper-sensitivity thing or is this some sort of lag/BYOND engine issue? I've played Dwarf Fortress, I can handle the obtuse interface, but not being able to move around without having to fight the controls is really bothersome.

It's Byond being Byond. Just wait until it the pendulum swings to the other end of the spectrum, namely "Oh god I've been holding the arrow key for thirty seconds, move you bastard" right as a changling goes Shambling Abomination.
