Probably not pure hugs, but you could kinda use pure love as a non-lethal weapon in a way.

Fun fact: you can crack bee eggs into a beaker and get Bee. Anything with Bee in it will make people cough up bees if they drink it.

Sixfools posted:I've been addicted to this game for months now but I play on Yogstation, how different are the Goonstation servers? I mostly play QM (yelling at cargo techs is fun), Botanist (bees on Yog don't do too much but it's fun to give them mindbreaker toxin when I'm antag), shaftminer/lavaland roles, chemistry, and virology. Learning a new server and station seems daunting when I'm used to Box-Stations layout and finally know the ins and outs. Other than the wiki, literally the best thing to do to learn the new station is to sign up as maybe engineer, probably HoP, or best bet, the captain, and just wander around aimlessly. you probably already have the controls down pat(I don't know if they're different per server), so just take your all access ID(or your home made AAID(or your toolbox and engineering knowhow)) and see where you can go and what you can do. When I was learning the game, I played engineer almost exclusively. Once I got the hang of setting up the engine, I hosed around learning door and wall hacking and impromptu survival skills. Knowing how to get into places you have no business being is like goonstaton 101, and if you don't know, the wiki will tell you. And what the wiki won't tell you, someone on the station should know. If you want to be more laid back though, definitely go HoP or captain. On the regular server(can't speak for the RP server), both those roles are basically only there so the player can gently caress off and do whatever, and they have 0 responsibility and easy all access. My first ever round as captain, way back on Donut station, I did a round around the station, saying hello to everyone and getting acquainted, then I ordered the bar tender to mix up as many of the wildest cocktails he could make. While he was busy, I shanghaied the QM and ordered him to spend the budget on party crates, and then to help me move them into the bar. The party was announced, the station arrived, and much fun and drugs were had. Then some traitor shot me with a radbow, tossed a pipe bomb into the crowd, and the survivors piled out to the shuttle, leaving me dying, drooling, passing out and horribly hosed up on whatever I had ingested. It was a good party.

The bee reagent needs to be in your system long enough to puke up the bee. Flushing it with charcoal will prevent that.

I mostly play QM (yelling at cargo techs is fun), Botanist (bees on Yog don't do too much but it's fun to give them mindbreaker toxin when I'm antag), shaftminer/lavaland roles, chemistry, and virology. Learning a new server and station seems daunting when I'm used to Box-Stations layout and finally know the ins and outs. From your description, there's some significant differences I can note right off the bat: First, roles on Goonstation are more streamlined, such as just one Scientist job that applies to all the different labs, no adventure zone-specific roles (I assume that's what "lavaland" means, though there are miners, they mine asteroids), and pathology being part of medbay and the Doctor job (and generally ignored because the vast majority of its uses are only valuable to traitors, and even then, it's usually more trouble than it's worth). I don't know what a cargo tech is, but odds are their job is either just something the QM is expected to handle themselves, or is one of the many minor tasks ostensibly left to Staff Assistants (good luck getting them to do it, though). Critters like Space Bees don't have the kind of object interactions or cardiovascular simulation that humans/monkeys do, so they can't be injected with reagents. Further, outside of certain secret chems and a couple narcotics, the chemicals, poisons, and so on are all more on the side of magic realism (i.e., real chemicals with either exaggerated or reduced effects, depending on real-world lethality) rather than whatever "mindbreaker toxin" is. As for player culture, I don't know how Yogstation works, but on Goon (at least on the non-RP server), there is only the barest of expectations for you to actually do your job, and you can even just break into another department and do someone else's job as long as you don't end up pissing someone off in the process (it's better to do this with roles that aren't already occupied). While security and command staff (and the barman) are best-equipped to do it (though an experienced Scientist is by far the most dangerous), and it's sometimes mildly discouraged, any member of the crew is technically free to kill confirmed antags (or unconfirmed antags, if they're lucky enough to have guessed correctly). Also, definitely read the wiki, including every bit of material relevant to the jobs you plan on doing. Hopefully that'll help you get acclimated more quickly. Oh, and if someone knocks you down and farts on you, that's just the Goonstation way of saying "hello". The proper reply is to beat them unconscious and steal their shoes.

EclecticTastes posted:I don't know what a cargo tech is, but odds are their job is either just something the QM is expected to handle themselves, or is one of the many minor tasks ostensibly left to Staff Assistants (good luck getting them to do it, though). Goonstation used to have Cargo Tech/Medical Tech/etc roles and yeah they were streamlined away. When played 'straight' they were just the regular job but with shittier access and starting gear, and when played for comedy/chaos were just staff assistants without the distinctive gray jumpsuits and access to their supposed job area instead of maintenance. The good news is that no one really expects you to give a poo poo about your job or be good at it (note that I've not tried the RP server but expectations are likely higher there), so it's not a big deal if you take engineer and just spend a round or two fiddling with the engine trying to figure it out and accidentally incinerating yourself/all of engineering in the process. In any case the most noticeable differences are likely to be cultural. Goonstation has a fairly high tolerance for gameplay shenanigans, but a very low tolerance for unfunny memery in chat compared to other servers with similar shenanigans tolerance.

All you need to do to get rid of people is build a one-way mechanics teleporter that requires cash to use. I guarantee you that someone will pay for the privilege of exiling themselves to the space diner.

Save yourself some trouble and use the command teleporter instead since you can control exactly where it outputs via teleport beacon. I've set up janky tech outpost teleport rube goldberg deathtraps before and people use gravitons into the portal ring for centcomm shenanigans, so I can confirm it works fine.

Just figured out genetics a few days ago and it's pretty cool. I have a G13 pad already so I programmed keys for genetics use and I can decode genomes ridiculously fast for someone who's been doing it for less than a week. It makes antags bombing the cloner as infuriating as something in a game can be, so maybe I've found my niche. Telescience is fun, but there's only so much you can do with it if you're not a traitor and the rest of the crew would rather do their own thing.

Is there any way to put a teleporter pad in the combustion room without it combusting? I was thinking you could RCD the tile under it but that may not work.

Staff Assistants are expendable. They know this, you know this. The trick is to make them suffer and die for your benefit before they start making their own fun.

I usually just start fires in the hallway unless someone asks me to help with something, give staff assistants a chance to do their jobs and they'll do it, otherwise they'll make their own fun, which is usually vandalism and theft.
