I'm pretty fond of the time a typo caused the refrigerators to recursively fill themselves with chicken nuggets so the entire game would immediately hang as it started. I like to imagine the universe slowly dying as endless frozen chicken nuggets pour out of every freezer in creation.

I like to imagine the universe slowly dying as endless frozen chicken nuggets pour out of every freezer in creation. Actually, only 5% of the freezers!  This is why it took so long to hunt down the bug.

I still remember the exact point at which someone isolated the bug and told us it was chicken nuggets. We were only like half surprised, that's what this game does to you.

In my heart of hearts I hope the fix for that makes nuggets somehow combust violently when combined with a rubber duck or a headset or a staff assistant.

I really like the bug where you could set mechanics money receptors to take -99999 credits, which would simply give you more money.

Yep. for (var/i = rand(2,10), i > 0, i--) vs for (var/i = rand(2,10), i > 0, i++) Two characters was all the difference between the server starting normally, and the server grinding to a halt 9 times out of 10 as the couple fridges around the map frantically spawned nuggets over and over, everything else stopped because all the server knew to do was KEEP SPAWNING NUGGETS. I think when one of the hosts finally figured out what was going on there were tens of thousands of nuggets in those fridges only a couple minutes after the server restarted. This was also entirely my fault, I am the nugget criminal.

Tiler Kiwi posted:to be fair, those are two very important characters to gently caress up in a loop Oh definitely. I had been working on porting all the old types of closets to the new one (at one point we had /obj/closet, /obj/secure_closet, and /obj/crate, all of which functioned nearly the same in most ways but were three different things for some loving reason) and hadn't been paying enough attention to what I was doing.

pnutz posted:the last version of mushroom I'm assuming? that station went through some rather large revisions from when I started playing it in 2012 (the cafeteria becoming the warehouse and being moved off next to the botany bubble among other things) It'd be interesting to see some of the old stations as derelicts sometime. Not just floating in space, but the actual map; I'm imagining something along the lines of Destiny, mostly suited to admin-managed scenarios. At least, it'd probably be a little easier than mangling the running station all the time.  Haine posted:This was also entirely my fault, I am the nugget criminal. Hopefully there's a lingering comment in there, in the form of a nugget of wisdom.

pnutz posted:what do you mean? did some genius spaghetti-coder make near-identical copypastas instead of having a parent closet class and then making secure_closet and crate children of that? That's exactly it. I moved all closets and crates to be children of /obj/storage and /obj/storage/secure, which was long overdue and also boring as gently caress to move them all over. God there were so many of them and it took forever. I think I got SpyGuy to help me out with the crates because argh. There were (probably still are) a lot of instances of someone needing code that already existed somewhere else, so they just copy and pasted the code in the new place and maybe changed one line or something. This is why for a short time wizards - only in mixed mode - would spawn, barf out all their internal organs and die instantly. "oh I need to unequip everything from these people that will become wizards, should I just use the unequip_all() proc that already exists??? naaaah I need their stuff deleted, which is not a thing I can just add to unequip_all(), I'll just copy and paste the code from unequip_all() into the proc that spawns the wizards!! this will never backfire ever and someone in the future certainly won't hate me for doing this" - probably hitler

I still think the chemistry+fractal cooking fiasco that created a living Crashwich so powerful it defeated the admins and crashed the entire server is one of the funniest drat things ever to come out of this game.

Name length limits (or the lack thereof) have always been comedy. I vaguely recall a time when the botany seed splicer could name seeds, and someone managed to name a seed the either the entirety of the Bee Movie script or the first chapter of Harry Potter or something. Or the time someone managed to sneak in an autoplaying YouTube embed

Everyone was really fortunate that the person who found this just used it to rickroll people and then told the coders about it because I'm pretty sure you could have done some really nasty poo poo with that.

It was the Irish Declaration of Independence, me and Isaac had some fun with that one. Also it led to the AI calling Molly Bloom's soliloquy from Ulysses "weird fanfic".
