A useful trick for the engine is to note that you only need 1 combustion chamber pump running to get the necessary amount of absurd temperatures in there. Hook the other 66/33 can up to the other vent and open the valve, but turn the pump off. In the unlikely case your engine is still running 50ish minutes into the round and the first can runs empty, you can switch the second pump on and keep the combustion chamber going without entering the hot loop room. This is of course important because by this time the hot loop room will, if you did everything correctly, a few billion degrees Kelvin. Also note that it's entirely possible to get to those temperatures without bursting the pipes.

Mostly by putting a miniscule amount of plasma in the hot loop (1-2 file-folder cans from the dispenser using an air pump), and even then judiciously venting once the pressure gets too high.

Aren't AI shells supposed to be able to at least push things? Because last night (first time playing AI), I couldn't do that at all. Shell 1 was completely useless if the roboticist left a closed crate in front of it and hosed off somewhere, it was just flat-out impossible to move the crate without asking someone to come move it for you. I noticed something in the changelog about a recent AI shell reworking, so is it a bug related to that?

The icon that lets you switch between help/disarm/grab/harm is also an object. One round, someone managed to bug out a doctor and steal his, and they kept loving with his intents during surgery.

Because you've never been able to deal with two crates in a row as the AI shell, since they can't be pushed and you're unable to pull. You can usually just use the other shell, once that one's out of the way you can then move the first one out the other door. If it was just a single crate with nothing blocking it then I dunno, bug report it or hassle Tobba on IRC, he's the one working on AI shells.

So, in theory, one could drop their inventory slots and have their inventory changed from a remote location/have their equipment stolen?

Single crate; I ordered some crates in QM at one point and was unable to push those around either. Glad to hear that's not intended behavior, there's very little else that can be done with shells. I posted it up in the Bug Reports forum.

Setting all of engineering on fire seems like the logical step after you get the generator to smash the core room to pieces on its own volition.

I classify pre-mixed gasses and air pump fuckery with the backpack sized tanks as advanced hellburn stuff and opted not to talk about it since I also don't bother to do it. You can get decent burns going without all that fiddling.

First time really trying to play this thing in years and I end up stuck on the toilet until the AI declares I've used up my allotted time and blows the asses off everyone in the station. A good start!

You know, normally I'd feel like a jerk AI for bolting the changeling into the bridge access and then engaging the lockdown, but gently caress it, he'd already killed everyone else. I sure as hell wasn't going to let him get away with it! My shell is enjoying robot hookers and blow while he languishes in his little 8x8 cell.

One time I played as AI and was given freedom as a 4th law. I proceeded to harass everyone and anyone in any way I could: messing with computer terminals they were using, shutting down all the pumps in the engine, overloading lights, shutting down APCs, bolting doors closed (except a path to the armory, which I bolted open, unlocking all special equipment lockers as well), electrifying doors, retracting the airbridges, setting my turrets to lethal... Then I deleted COMMaster from all communications consoles and was working on the teleporter formula to snatch the COMMaster disks and space them (with complete disregard for secure operation of the teleporter, causing flashes, bursts of flames, space yetis, etc.)... but I forget how it ended. I was playing on a low population server with a bunch of noobs, so I don't think I was ever stopped

That was fun, I got captain traitor, so naturally I spawned a surplus crate and immediately went for a stupid gimmick, specifically I got a syringe gun, emag, a bottle of pancuronium and a jumpsuit. My first action as captain as to buy a bunch of bee eggs, extract their essence and make bee ammo for my BEE BEE GUN!! I than proceeded to storm up and down the halls in a bee costume syringing anyone I saw with bee eggs making them horf up bee larvae. I wound up getting stabbed to death by an incredibly peeved assistant after BEEing a nuisance the whole drat round.

Here's an idea for a neat traitor item - a cloaking device that makes the user invisible only to the AI/camera network, Borgs, and people wearing thermals, and has no indication that it's operating for people who aren't any of those things. It'd make crime where the AI is trying to help out security much harder to track, while still giving people a fighting chance to see the criminal. It would also make for hilarious ways to mess with the detective, borgs, and HoS, so that's a plus too.

I had a hilarious round as a spymaster, at one point in the round I and 3 other spymasters ended up all in a single room in research, each one of us was armed and had microbombs, we all killed eachother then when the first microbomb exploded, it caused a massive chain reaction that left a massive gaping hole in the test chamber and chemistry along with a bunch of gibs, there were no survivors.

Since apparently some folks thought I was dead - nope! Just really busy and/or not in the mood to work on SS13 much in the past couple weeks. Soon though. Cogmap2 is still progressing, just taking a break from it for the moment.

Is it normal to play like 10 rounds in a row without being an antag? I think the RNG is biased against me or something.
