I'm pretty sure it's like a 9/10 chance of blowing up. I've spent a round on extended copying them with a device scanner and fixing them. After fixing it like 4 times and it blowing up, I just gave up.

What are you having trouble with? Everything up to the "Insert paint cartridge" is just your standard toolbox stuff and some wiring. The paint comes from QM.

It was once available for all to use. Entire stations were painted hot pink. This lasted for about a week until it was run into the ground and consequently the dispenser was transformed into the sorry state it's in today. :rip:

Everything getting painted constantly wasn't the problem in itself, but painting absolutely everything caused lag.

One of the bugs that came with that was turning pods invisible by painting them with plaid. It sounds really weird to repeat that to myself out loud.

Incidentally, I suppose the paint issue means there's no chance of a paintball gun and associated paintball match funtimes? A shame.

It's probably an entity layer over the top of whatever you're painting. Thousands of them.

There may be better ways to do it now, the coders have done a lot of work making things like the color of objects more logical, but I'm not sure.

Which is a shame, because Gang mode would be a lot more fun if it were just Splatoon.

A cool traitor weapon would be a paintgun. If you shoot it normal it simply leaves paint marks (or, alternatively, turns whole blocks colored) everywhere, including players. You can also infuse the paintballs - that you can buy as extra ammo - with chems to make them extra fun.

Wait, I have a better idea: if paint is no longer lagging, have the vendor work, and have paintball guns available if the vending restrictions are disabled.

I whole-heartedly endorse paint/paintguns being a thing. As far as features that can be run into the ground, I feel like it would be pretty benign* and would probably subside on its own once everyone has had their fun.

*not so much if additional chems could be added.

Edit: adding chemicals to paint could be fun... Sure you could coat everything in some ridiculous hellmix, OR you could paint a fish with styptic powder and run around the station slapping people with it.

You already have paint guns for Chema. They're called flamethrowers.

Last night I busted into chemlab and found a flamethrower some of the chem nerds had been tinkering with, namely Damian Garneys. I decided to use it to kill myself and discovered it had styptic powder in. Is it possible to put something like silver sulfadiazine in and have a flamethrower that treats burns?

Who are the celebrities in the Goonstation (or even SS13) community. Who are the people who revolutionized this game, the ones who cause nerfs to certain mechanics, weapons, chemicals. I don't know SS13 history too well but I do know of Cuban Pete.

zorato was a poo terrorist. lord doom was a terrorist in general. there have been a few people of note known for either how destructive they're capable of being or for their horrible sperginess. humble bee was one of the latter. he wound up finding himself pissing people off every round with his pedantic bullshit and usually got lynched for it.

What are some good ways to enable fun in a given round? When not an antag I find myself trying to find ways to help the crew but often go unnoticed by all but a rare few. I also like playing civilian jobs because I think they can add flavor to an otherwise dull round. Basically, what would YOU like to see Fridtjof Nansen doing as a chef/barman/janitor/botanist/chaplain?

A good barman is one who enables crewmen to kill or incapacitate themselves in spectacular fashion with just a sip or two.

That dick has killed me as a non-antagonist without saying a word simply for being near him at the start of the round when he obsessively cracks the ISS derelict crates. And has generally been a silent, unfun rear end in a top hat everywhere else.

Avoid if possible.

somthing similar happened to me years ago when the mining station was still the normal spawn. came back from a piss between rounds and found someone choked me to death within 30 seconds of the round starting because he reckoned I was one of those babies who quit when they're not an antag :downsbravo:

Seatbelt safety is very important and I sigh every time 15 people get thrown against the walls of the shuttle when it leaves. Buckle up, people!
