From dd739acf3cfa0bd6c4ca24281f37b1681993bf4e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vekter Date: Wed, 14 Aug 2024 05:34:37 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] Makes cyborg endoskeleton a roundstart research again (#85695) ## About The Pull Request Cyborg endoskeletons no longer require a research node to be made, making them possible to create at roundstart. ## Why It's Good For The Game I feel like placing these behind a node doesn't really do anything that's worth having it there. There's very little to do at roundstart other than making cyborgs or clean/medibots at roundstart, so most of the beginning of a shift turns into "trying to get R&D to research the thing you need to do arguably the most important part of your job". I haven't been able to find a single benefit for doing this. Arguably, it's like this to prevent people from "wasting resources on cyborgs that never get built", but I can't say I've ever been on a round with more than 30-40 people where I didn't build at least two borgs. What actually ends up happening is one roboticist makes everything but the endoskeleton while the other tries to get access to the R&D computer to research cybernetics so they can finish making a cyborg. It was also argued that augmentation is more often requested at roundstart than borging, which I have seen maybe twice in the last three years. ## Changelog :cl: Vekter balance: Removes the research requirement from cyborg endoskeletons, meaning they can be built at roundstart again. /:cl: --- code/modules/research/techweb/nodes/cyborg_nodes.dm | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/code/modules/research/techweb/nodes/cyborg_nodes.dm b/code/modules/research/techweb/nodes/cyborg_nodes.dm index 5e0ad2f64e0..92984b0598e 100644 --- a/code/modules/research/techweb/nodes/cyborg_nodes.dm +++ b/code/modules/research/techweb/nodes/cyborg_nodes.dm @@ -11,6 +11,7 @@ "borg_l_leg", "borg_r_arm", "borg_r_leg", + "borg_suit", "cybernetic_eyes", "cybernetic_eyes_moth", "cybernetic_ears", @@ -32,7 +33,6 @@ "robocontrol", "borgupload", "cyborgrecharger", - "borg_suit", "mmi_posi", "mmi", "mmi_m",
