wew that was fucking fast lmao

Someone wanted me to remap xenobotany so I decided to move it to the construction level, but that meant rearranging free space and then suddenly I fucking remapped the entire science level I guess before I even remapped xenobotany.

Thoughts on removing the ability to suck nutrients out of food using a syringe?

Straight to the point. Monoammonium Phosphate is a new chemical that extinguishes fires better than water. All fire extinguishers now contain this, and can only be refilled via a special extinguisher cartridge. To refill an extinguisher, obtain this cartridge, fill it with the desire reagents, twist the lid on the container to mix it with special aerosol, connect the pointy bit of the cartridge and put it in the hole senpai, and you now have a fire extinguisher filled with whatever. You can fill it with anything you want, assuming you have a cartridge. There are also now extinguisher tanks that are filled with this chemical. They look like water tanks, except they're red. Since reagent container code is a fucking mess, I had to fix it to make this shit work. As an added bonus, you can only splash on harm intent and you can drink from all open containers. Reagent are defined as: Blood Packs, Hypospray, Chemical Dispenser Cartridges, Fryer Baskets, Oven Trays, Droppers, Extinguisher Refill Containers, All Food, Condiment Bottles, All Drinks (Bottles, Cartons), All Beakers, All Bottles, All Buckets, All Paint Buckets, Rags, Solution Trays, Inhaler Cartridges, Autoinhalers, Pills, Spray Bottles, and Syringes. Not all of these listed wil be able to splash or be drank from. Reagent dispensers can now be wrenched open and refilled with anything. They also now work like sinks where it asks if you want to fill the container or empty the container. Reagent dispensers now have their own transfer amount so you can safely transfer reagents. Reagent dispensers are defined as: Acid Dispensers, Beer Kegs, Xuixzi Kegs, Water Coolers, Virus Food Dispensers, Pepper Spray Dispensers, Water Tanks. Extinguisher Tanks, Coolant Tanks, and Cooking Oil. Fuel Tanks are exempt from this change because muh balance. https://github.com/Aurorastation/Aurora.3/pull/4793 PR is here.

Regardless of whether or not I get accepted as a dev, my next projects will be the following, in most likely to least likely order: - An extension of custom KAs (more attachments + features, based on feedback) - Reworking do_after() (See: Progress Bar Actions) to be less garbage/buggy - In-game Calculators - Xenobiology rework - Changeling rework - Cooking rework - Research rework

Errors would be either mechanical or research wise. Current Ideas: Compile errors, requires a quick interaction to solve on the research server. Computer errors, requires someone to travel to the server room and do a quick interaction. And you can skip research stages. If you're at level 3 materials, and you introduce a level 6 materials item, then the research will instantly jump to level 5 materials. Thanks for the quick answer. Possibly another error could be that it needs a certain item or chemical. Would emags have any interaction with the research machine? Edit: would it breaking be locked to once every 10 or so minutes at most? I feel like it would be like this to prevent RNG really being annoying, because it's bound to happen. I'd start out with limiting errors to one every 10 minutes, but they have a chance to trigger every 5. Emag/Emp interactions are usually an afterthought, but since I'm thinking of it now it would have to be something fun. Maybe sends a computer virus full of skrell porn or something that cancels research progress for the currently researched item, I don't know.

Science is currently shit. It's not about research as much as following an actual (outside) guide while throwing things in a machine, having the machine do the work for you, and then doing absolutely fucking nothing. It's tedious. It's annoying. It's unrewarding. It needs to be worked on. Other servers have had this problem in the past, and they have dealt with it by half-assedly implementing an EXPERIMENTER which gives levels but is much more tedious/annoying because there is RNG or some garbage. I have a totally doable and codeable suggestion, which is the following: Make it just mostly automatic. Use a computer, and a fuckton of computing servers to calculate loads of equations irl. Copy how a MILF AI does research by making it so they can focus on one thing at a time. For example, It would take 1 minute to research to level 2 of something. It would take 2 minutes to research to level 3. 5 minutes to level 4. 10 minutes to level 5. 15 minutes to level 6. 30 minutes to level 7. 60 minutes to level 8. However, usually every 5-10 minutes, a random problem will occur and research will halt. It will take a scientist to solve the problem, and resume research, so you can't just set something to research for 30 minutes and fuck off doing something else. "But Burger! There are like 7 research levels! It would take 7 hours to research everything to max!" Thats where items come in. Trying to research an item to level 6? Put in a level 6 item before you start the research to cut the time in half. "But Burger that still makes it 3.5 hours to research everything to max!" That's where other departments come in. Trying to research a level 5 of something and have a level 6 item? Boom, you're instantly upgraded to level 5. Why not level 6 you ask? Because science should not be able to jerk itself off. "But Burger we need upgraded parts REALLY FAST, you get those at level 5! That takes too long!" The best parts are at level 5. The current meta is to just skip the low tier parts and go straight for the best, which is dumb. Use the lesser parts, but if you REALLY want the research levels now, you can now purchase research disks at cargo for research, up to level 5. Depending on the technology, it will cost anywhere between 10,000 credits and 50,000 credits for a technology disk. While on the topic of research levels, research levels of items will now be completely reworked to be less specific. The current trees are: #define TECH_MATERIAL "materials" #define TECH_ENGINEERING "engineering" #define TECH_PHORON "phorontech" #define TECH_POWER "powerstorage" #define TECH_BLUESPACE "bluespace" #define TECH_BIO "biotech" #define TECH_COMBAT "combat" #define TECH_MAGNET "magnets" #define TECH_DATA "programming" #define TECH_ILLEGAL "syndicate" #define TECH_ARCANE "arcane" I will be removing most of those, and they will only be under: Material Technology Bio Technology Energy Technology Bluespace Technology Weapon Technology Illegal Technology Xeno Technology Xenotechnology and Illegal technology cannot be researched using the automatic methods, or be bought from cargo. Those levels can be gained from traitor stuff. Thoughts?

I'll add this along with my blowjob PR once I get dev status.

i tested none of it

Have you tried blocking Delta? This is the first time he's really ever contacted me on discord. Everything else was on github or on the forums.

Given your behavior and how you deal with people regarding conversations, I thought that it would be better for everyone if there was some sort of moderation between us so it doesn't turn into a private shitflinging fest. It didn't turn into that when you messaged me, but it was just frankly insulting. See the beauty of this is that this is going to keep happening. I'm nice to people unless they're not worth my time dealing with. I'm never the first to provoke, however of course I'm not bragging about that because the best option would be for me not to feed in at all. What's happening is the following: Person 1: Wow person 1 you've really done it with this shitty PR! Person 2: Go away, faggot. Person 3: wow person 2 you're so rude im going to treat you like you treat others This makes 0 sense. You're white knighting for others for no logical reason and you're acting surprised when I point the flamethrower to you. You're mistaking constructive criticism for being a moron and I think that's a serious problem on your part. If someone has absolutely nothing to contribute to the thread, then I'm going to ignore them. I'm fine with criticism, that's why I made the threads, however there is a point when criticism becomes someone just being dumb. For example; https://i.imgur.com/EVd3PH4.png This isn't constructive criticism. This doesn't help me in any way so don't get shocked if I ignore you. This is just saying "I DON'T LIKE THIS." and doesn't help me. It just tells me that you don't like it, which honesty doesn't matter to me. because spoiler alert: People's opinions don't matter as much as they think they do. I'm not going to remove something if you simply say you don't like it. I can work with you, but last time I made tweaks based on the very limited feedback of people saying "I DON'T LIKE THIS, THIS IS BAD" you bitched at me for making changes, as seen here: https://forums.aurorastation.org/viewtopic.php?p=97643#p97643 Because it never existed. Don't you dare hint that I deleted it. If I deleted it, it would be logged in discord. Full Context: https://github.com/Aurorastation/Aurora.3/pull/4790 Saying "ADD X" isn't feedback, it's just telling me to add more things that are unrelated to the PR itself! It doesn't tell me anything useful regarding the rest of the PR. As LordFowl said, it's a bugfix PR. And me making a joke about this somehow means I'm unable to make feedback. This is absolute insanity.

Scheveningen, I find, is one of the worst people to be around when it comes to being a contributor. He has a constant aurora of negativity that cannot be ignored, as he will complain about being ignored. He insults people. He belittles them. He gets personal with people. I've discussed his behavior with others, and apparently he does not have this problem with me exclusively so this likely means it's a problem with him himself. This post will be very difficult to make given how most of the posts he made that were pointlessly rude were deleted by moderators or developers. Hopefully this still exist and are visible to mods, because I will need those posts.

I'd like to think that the kinetic in kinetic accelerator is that it's charged via kinetic actions. The weapon will be open to all traitors, one will even spawn for mercs.

Almost done. Hopefully it can be in, in the next update. It's honestly one of the best things i've coded and I'm quite proud of it.

there is a ton of tl;dr in this thread that I can't be bothered to read, but in my KA overhaul I'll be introducing a traitor KA that shoots laser beams. It cannot be charged, however one could steal a miner's custom KA cell and replace it with it's jury rigged cell on the laser KA for the ability to recharge shots.

Yeah there is making things too easy and then there's making things too dumb. #1 tool xenobiologists use is water from fire extinguishers. This is a research station, they should have specialized tools and equipment for this sort of job, such as possibly gassing slimes.

I had some sprites for another machinegun, but the magazine itself can be re-colored to look like a magazine for a laser weapon.

I'll add an energy weapon. I have some gun sprites I want to use.

I'll buff the metabolism rate of water, as I said on discord. That should kill slimes faster.

They can be made but it requires cooperation with cargo. You need to convince them to give you a few platinum, and then grind it up. Recipe is platinum, carbon, sterilizine.

Slimes on this server are the strongest on any other server, and it's likely due to a code oversight. Baby Slimes have 200 health. Adult Slimes have 200 health. In what universe does that make sense?
