From 8ec37776598a91fd3628dd33d8fa04abdb996bc8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Batrachophreno Date: Tue, 14 Jul 2026 06:40:28 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] Latex/nitrile gloves no longer leave fingerprints (#22310) Latex gloves (and by extension, nitrile and all other child items) had a 75% chance to leave fingerprints. This reduces that chance to zero. While some impressions can be left by these gloves in real life, it is a counterintuitive behavior for the purposes of the game (and we have enough of those to memorize elsewhere anyways). --- code/modules/clothing/gloves/miscellaneous.dm | 1 - html/changelogs/Bat-GloveFingerprints.yml | 4 ++++ 2 files changed, 4 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) create mode 100644 html/changelogs/Bat-GloveFingerprints.yml diff --git a/code/modules/clothing/gloves/miscellaneous.dm b/code/modules/clothing/gloves/miscellaneous.dm index 1581f96b0e8..8569e0f3cc9 100644 --- a/code/modules/clothing/gloves/miscellaneous.dm +++ b/code/modules/clothing/gloves/miscellaneous.dm @@ -61,7 +61,6 @@ siemens_coefficient = 1.0 //thin latex gloves, much more conductive than fabric gloves (basically a capacitor for AC) permeability_coefficient = 0.01 germ_level = 0 - fingerprint_chance = 75 drop_sound = 'sound/items/drop/rubber.ogg' pickup_sound = 'sound/items/pickup/rubber.ogg' var/balloon = /obj/item/toy/balloon/latex diff --git a/html/changelogs/Bat-GloveFingerprints.yml b/html/changelogs/Bat-GloveFingerprints.yml new file mode 100644 index 00000000000..83981e35378 --- /dev/null +++ b/html/changelogs/Bat-GloveFingerprints.yml @@ -0,0 +1,4 @@ +author: Batrachophrenoboocosmomachia +delete-after: True +changes: + - balance: "Latex gloves (including nitrile and all other child types) no longer have a chance to leave fingerprints."
