Put the sheet in your hand. Stand next to a monkey. Click+drag the monkey's sprite onto yours. A window will pop up with the monkey's equipment slots. With sheet in hand click on 'outer suit' or something like that. You'll start to put the sheet on the monkey. It may move around causing you to be interrupted. If this happens just do it again. Drag (control-click) the monkey out of the pen away from the other monkeys. Now you can safely grab (click while on grab intent - orange fist thing on the intent menu, or press 3) the monkey and shove him in the scanner without the others aggroing. Re: genetics, research your DNA samples. Buy more credits when you run out. Use activators on yourself for the genes you like. Then research the monkey's traits. Use activators on it. Put the used activators back in the machine to recycle them. This gives you either more credits, chromosomes, or 'unlocks'. Initiate the research advancements to unlock other things to do in the machine. Repeat forever. The wiki is very helpful.

Two things: First, a more efficient tool for keeping monkeys quiet is provided to genetics in the form of blindfolds (they work the same way, but go in the eyes slot, obviously). Second, always pull the monkey out first, so the other monkeys don't get in the way. Also, for the love of god, when you enter and exit the monkey pen, close the door manually. Poor monkey discipline can and will get you killed (especially on Cog2 where there's no buffer area between the pen and genetics).

I enjoy watching monkeys murdering geneticists with staple guns and toolboxes. Don't take this away from me. I once dug out what must have been 20~ staples from one.

Heartcatch posted:I enjoy watching monkeys murdering geneticists with staple guns and toolboxes. Don't take this away from me. That reminds me, another bit of safe practice is, after blindfolding/sheeting a monkey, check its hands and empty them from the same menu, to make sure they don't keep whatever dangerous implement they were carrying. Also, disposal any such items that aren't necessary for your job. While you're at it, preemptively disposal the toolbox that spawns in the genetics lab, monkeys love grabbing it while you're trying to restrain them, and then if you happen to aggro them at any point, they will promptly beat you to death with it. Basically, genetics is a lot like chef, in that 90% of your actual effort goes towards making sure the monkeys can't do anything except die for your unholy experiments.

Everyone knows that if there's a geneticist on duty but no screams are coming from their lab, either something very bad is happening to them or they've finished discovering superpowers. In either event, that's the signal to rush in and either help them or help yourself to the fruits of their labor.

I used to make a point to always shred genetics with some interesting chemistry concoction or the other back when I actively played. I think my favourite thing to date was injecting a geneticist with initropidril, then buckling him to his chair as he was dying. The other geneticist never noticed his colleague was dead. In fact, 45 minutes later the dead geneticist was still buckled to the chair, with nobody any wiser to my misdeeds.

Basically, but the common wisdom is that the coders have never added a dedicated Pathologist role for very good reasons. It's not really the sort of thing that should be done every single round or it will stop being funny and just become obnoxious.

You can roll into helpful symptoms rarely and by pure chance, ie, higher tier things that don't show up every round. You should probably isolate the helpful symptoms, but you have to have a way to transmit it, which means people have to trust you to inject them OR you have something like farts that are harmless unless someone's tossing a bible around.

If you eat too much candy or other sugary foods, you go into hyperglycemic shock, but what makes it especially lethal is that you can pass the threshold by quite a bit before it hits, as the sugar breaks down gradually. An entire goodie bag or a whole box of Pope Crunch can send you into a coma that lasts longer than a sleepypen.

Knowledge of this prize would have come in handy when I was running a Chaplain gimmick of being the Pope Crunch mascot over the weekend (though, not nearly as many people played along as the last time I tried it). Come to think of it, it'd be a little tougher since they need to be made rather than found, but when Apiarist is a job-of-the-day, I could probably do the same thing for Honey Wonks.

Holy cow... so suddenly my own botanical experiment to see if monkeys can smoke pot (spoilers: yes, yes they can, and they will constantly bogart joints out of your pockets and get you cited for monkey cruelty) seems less impressive, that's awesome.

Monkeys are ideal test subjects because they have the same stats and effects and internal processing that players do. Staff Assistants have the bonus of being able to talk and they are less violent than monkeys though.

I chased a traitor botanist carrying exploding tomatoes across the station. After I lost him, I broke into botany and grabbed a few of his tomatoes. When I found him again, he threw one at me but I robusted it thanks to captain armor. I got him cornered in the storage room next to botany and threw ALL THE TOMATOES I HAD at him and the doorway he was running through. There wasn’t much left of him to arrest.

i haven't played ss13 in years, but i want to make sure you all know this music exists and is very thematic. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UqU7W8LdRd4 Just two of them at first it was And then a dozen more. He blinked to see two women kneel Beside him on the floor. He thought they might be angels But they weren't like angels much; No wings, no robes, just plain grey spacer Coveralls and such. "You're not dead yet, my friend And it's not quite your time to go," The first one said "Now look, Your rescue beacon's down below Ed says that there's another ship, Not far away at all. You still have two good arms my friend So grit your teeth and crawl." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3WDRxtd-2dQ The whole station shook like a hurt living thing, Then the lights dimmed and faded away; Then the gravity went, then the air pump cut out, And the bartender started to pray. "Aw, stow that bilge! Head for the Antelope now!" Jed's voice cut the dark like a knife. "The station reactor's gone critical load, So run for the docks for your life!" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wJzPhRJRgFA Our captain built a model of the palace at Versailles Across the recreation room and no one could get by! One night we heard what sounded like a mighty cannon's roar Versailles had blown to kingdom come with half the recroom floor.
