From 8bafeb0fb829ffc28a4dab8adf45890fd7c87dde Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: VMSolidus Date: Fri, 13 Mar 2026 12:28:26 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] Zeng-Hu Mind Shielding (#21996) This PR was requested by @Fyniiy and @nauticall for the _A Dream for Tomorrow_ lore arc, as one of two new options for the crew to take when dealing with ADPI in the Lemurian Sea. As a new lore development, Zeng-Hu Pharmaceuticals has begun offering their own take on Mind Blankers (previously a bioaug invented by the Federal Technocracy of Galatea) as a commercial product marketed towards SCC employees traveling into the Lemurian Sea. These implants were previously restricted only to Galatean Humans and Offworlders, but are now expanded in availability to any Psi-sensitive species (So not including Diona, Vaurca, and IPCs). https://wiki.aurorastation.org/index.php/Lemurian_Sea image --- code/game/objects/items/weapons/storage/boxes.dm | 11 +++++++++++ code/modules/cargo/items/medical.dm | 8 ++++++++ .../client/preference_setup/loadout/items/augments.dm | 9 +++++---- html/changelogs/hellfirejag zeng-hu-mindblanker.yml | 5 +++++ 4 files changed, 29 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) create mode 100644 html/changelogs/hellfirejag zeng-hu-mindblanker.yml diff --git a/code/game/objects/items/weapons/storage/boxes.dm b/code/game/objects/items/weapons/storage/boxes.dm index a795f49ad53..34ef7cbb26e 100644 --- a/code/game/objects/items/weapons/storage/boxes.dm +++ b/code/game/objects/items/weapons/storage/boxes.dm @@ -1812,3 +1812,14 @@ starts_with = list( /obj/item/cane/crutch/forearm = 2 ) + +/obj/item/storage/box/unique/freezer/organcooler/mind_blanker + name = "mind blanker cooler" + desc = "A cooling box for mind blankers, which can be surgically implanted to protect the patient from unwanted psionic interference." + color = COLOR_PURPLE_GRAY + illustration = "implant" + starts_with = list(/obj/item/organ/internal/augment/bioaug/mind_blanker = 1) + can_hold = list( + /obj/item/organ/internal/augment/bioaug/mind_blanker + ) + storage_slots = 4 diff --git a/code/modules/cargo/items/medical.dm b/code/modules/cargo/items/medical.dm index 4fea8507f1e..27b55f95a5e 100644 --- a/code/modules/cargo/items/medical.dm +++ b/code/modules/cargo/items/medical.dm @@ -802,3 +802,11 @@ container_type = "crate" groupable = TRUE spawn_amount = 1 + +/singleton/cargo_item/organcooler/mind_blanker + name = "mind blanker cooler" + description = "An organ cooler containing a single Zeng-Hu Mind Blanker.
