Y0SH1M4S73RandGitHub	18af823b19	Taking damage from attacks while on synthpax grants temporary immunity to synthpax (#95950) ... ## About The Pull Request Whenever you take damage from an attack while metabolizing synthpax, you become immune to specifically synthpax's pacification for a number of seconds equal to the damage taken (max. 5 seconds). Additional instances of damage add to the immunity timer. ## Why It's Good For The Game Peacekeeper borgs have largely used synthpax as a way to make sure an antagonist can't fight back as security arrests them, or, when their laws permit, as they kill said antag themselves. This seems like a severe abuse from the cyborgs, and/or any security that ordered the borg to take this course of action. Synthpax should be used either to de-escalate conflict between individuals the borg's laws require them to protect, or to ensure that a threat cannot harm individuals they are bound to protect until appropriate responders arrive, while leaving minimal room to weaponize the pacification effect.	2026-05-22 06:40:47 +00:00

SmArtKarandGitHub	479ac46740	Reworks goliaths, slightly changes watchers/legions/brimdemons/lobstrocities (#96028) ... ## About The Pull Request Goliaths no longer instantly stun the mobs they hit with their tentacle for full 10 seconds, instead leashing them to the spot they were grabbed at or dragging them towards themselves. The ranged tetris-piece attack has been changed to a full cross which tethers the target preventing them from moving away more than 1 tile, while the line and the ring attacks tether the mob directly to the goliath itself and drag them in. https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/0b566a12-17ae-4a8a-97ac-5734c89c83d4 The tentacles can be manually removed after standing for 6 seconds, or by hitting them for 75 damage total (3 PKC swings, or 5 bayonet hits). They also naturally retract after 10/15 (cross/line and ring) seconds like before. Goliaths themselves have received a massive speed boost, going from 3 second movement delay to 1.2 seconds (150% buff) and no longer can friendly fire with their tentacles (and ancient goliaths have their trophy drop guaranteed) Brimdemons, lobstrocities, watchers and legions also received some changes: - Brimdemons no longer can wound with their beams (they were basically guaranteed to land a nasty burn wound with the initial blast), but are now affected by laser armor and their beam DOT (not the initial 25 burn damage upon firing) has been increased from 5 to 7. Their blasts can now be interrupted by hitting them from their side or from their back - Lobstrocities have had their retreat distance decreased from 8 to 6, making them much less likely to randomly lose aggro on the miner (their aggro range is 9 tiles, meaning that even a single tile of movement on miner's part will result in lobsters losing interest in them when on CD) - Watchers now try to stick to 3-5 (previously 4-6) tiles of distance between themselves and their target, and legions try to maintain 4-6 tiles of distance as opposed to running away completely. This should make fighting both of them more interesting and engaging, and make dealing with them during vents less cancerous. Sprites for the tentacle item and mob overlay are by thgvr from https://github.com/shiptest-ss13/Shiptest/pull/2432 ## Why It's Good For The Game Goliaths are extremely outdated in their attack design, 10 second hardstuns are basically a guaranteed death if there are any other mobs around and aren't very engaging to fight on their own as they are very easy to evade with 3 second movement delays. Change to lobstrocities should just make their AI less jank, and watcher/legion range changes should make them less slippery when fighting with PKC or zero range PKA, or during vent defense. ## Changelog 🆑 SmArtKar, thgvr balance: Goliaths no longer hardstun, but instead bind and drag their targets in with their tentacles. They are, however, much faster now. balance: Brimdemon beams can no longer wound, but deal a bit more DOT damage. Their beams can also be interrupted by hitting them from the side or back in melee. balance: Watchers and legions now try to maintain a few tiles of distance from their targets instead of retreating. fix: Lobstrocity AI should no longer sometimes flee out of their aggro range when retreating. /🆑	2026-05-12 19:16:02 +01:00

MrMelbertandGitHub	aae24b1ab2	Sect of the Dream God (#95643) ... ## About The Pull Request Adds a new chaplain sect, the sect of the Dream God This sect gains favor from dreaming and blessing dreamers. Their blessing only works on sleeping mobs - hitting a sleeping mob with your bible will cause it to start dreaming, and if it's already dreaming, grant favor. Either way, the mob is healed. For 0 favor, you can **Banish Nightmare** - offering a Nightmare's corpse rewards favor for banishing bad dreams. If the Nightmare has a heart, you are rewarded with a special **Sacred Heart** which heals you while dreaming and sleeping. You can also offer a Nightmare's heart on its own without the body attached. For 0 favor, you can **Deaconize Dreamers** - you can deaconize up to 3 dreamers. For 50 favor, you can have a **Dream Portent** - This rite immediately makes you fall asleep, and grants you a dream related to something going on in the round. It may provide insight into something you otherwise don't know about. If you take damage, the effect ends early. <img width="374" height="126" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/7c4e12fe-8456-411c-9d39-691e4ac2312d" /> For 100 favor, you can **Dream Projection** - this rite allows you to pick one of your deacons, and forces you to become an imaginary friend of that deacon. For the duration of the effect you are asleep. If you are woken up or take damage, the effect ends. If the deacon dies, the effect ends early. <img width="492" height="294" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/4e2f6810-15cd-41af-a69f-daa6ddca671a" /> For 200 favor, you can give you and your followers **Dream Protection** - While sleeping and dreaming all damage taken is reduced. For 200 favor, you can start a **Slumber Party** - All nearby mobs (who can't block magic and some other asterisks) fall asleep and share a dream. This form of sleep heals the mob rapidly (also heals holy people even more). ## Why It's Good For The Game A new sect for chaplains to sink their teeth into. This one brings a unique niche, focused around sleeping and fortune telling. ## Changelog 🆑 Melbert add: Adds the Sect of the Dream God, a new option for chaplains. /🆑	2026-04-29 00:01:56 +01:00
Y0SH1M4S73RandGitHub	a54141bed8	[I **NOT** ded] Heart Eater only works with sentient beings' hearts (+heart ripping). (#95677) ... ## About The Pull Request You now only gain the benefits of the heart eater perk by eating a heart taken from a mob with a mind. In order to make this not completely useless for any wizard without the Smite spell, the heart eater perk now grants the user the ability to tear the heart out of incapacitated or dead carbons by targeting their chest with an empty hand in combat mode. This can be done on one person at a time per hand, so subtle synergy with the four arms perk. ## Why It's Good For The Game Getting 80% damage resistance, stacking linearly with armor to potentially grant total immunity to conventional sources of damage, should require a lot of effort and putting yourself into significant risk of getting killed. ## Changelog 🆑 balance: Wizards with the Heart Eater perk are only invigorated by the hearts of sentient beings. add: To facilitate the taking of hearts from sentient beings, the Heart Eater perk lets you tear the heart out of the chest of an incapacitated or dead being by targeting their chest with an empty hand in combat mode. /🆑	2026-04-20 18:20:59 +01:00
John WillardandGitHub	774c07cd9b	Basic mob stat panel gutting (#95543) ... ## About The Pull Request Changes Guardian HUD to use action buttons instead of HUD elements, which means their buttons 1. Can now be moved 2. Can be binded Other Holoparasite HUD changes: 1- Moves some special buttons like explosive's explosion ability to be where the "Toggle Mode" button typically is, to be consistent with some other modes (assassin, gas) that also works like their unique ability. 2- Gives non-dextrous holoparasites the ability to move floors, since they float. 3- Fixes dextrous holoparasites having 2 health HUDs 4- Moves "Check Guardian Type" verb to a new action button meant to mimick the Antag UI Info button. Gives Soulscythes a Combat mode indicator Locks Revenant's combat mode indicator (cause it does nothing) Adds another hoverable HUD element, basic mobs can now hover over their healthdoll to see their Health % <img width="85" height="123" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/ad660ba4-296c-4699-9ec4-03a6e7b97880" /> <img width="95" height="101" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/12d4d9d3-cf2c-4c52-81aa-17ce538b9d48" /> Adds a Unit Test to ensure all basic mobs have a HUD that shows some form of health & combat mode (unless unnecessary like Revenants), to not lose any information from basic mob conversion now that they lose the stat panel. ## Why It's Good For The Game This is yet another supplement of https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/95383 - Removing stat panel entries for all basic mobs is a great move towards lessening the reliance of mobs on the stat panel. This is also just good QoL for Holoparasites, especially since their stat panel had 2 entries for "Master HP" and your "Own" HP, despite Holoparasites not even having their own HP at all. ## Changelog 🆑 qol: Holoparasites' abilities are now action buttons, so you can rebind or move them. qol: Holoparasites now have floor change buttons. fix: Holoparasites and Soulscythes now have a combat mode indicator. fix: Dextrous holoparasites now have their inventory slot again while non-dextrous had it taken away (not that they could use it). /🆑	2026-04-13 17:05:57 -06:00
TimandGitHub	d2e5e35d68	Keen Nose Quirk - The Smell of Discovery (#95697) ... ## About The Pull Request This adds a new positive quirk called "**Keen Nose**" that costs 3 points. It lets you examine any open container with reagents to smell them. It generates the smell based on the taste description. Also added an effect to pepper spray, where it causes you to lose your sense of smell temporarily. This quirk is blacklisted against the Anosmia quirk, which is the opposite. (no sense of smell) ## Why It's Good For The Game Since there is a serious lack of positive quirks, I figured this one might be useful as a utility quirk. It's a niche thing that could come in handy. Keep in mind, there are several ways to identify chemicals, like using the bartender's beer goggles, the science goggles, a chem machine, or just eyeballing the color. Also, many chems have overlapping taste descriptions (several different things taste like "death") so it's not foolproof.	2026-04-13 13:03:26 -05:00

MrMelbertandGitHub	bad46d8600	Walking in snow leaves snowprints, snowstorms clear them (#95569) ... ## About The Pull Request <img width="444" height="318" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/d2b21460-0b11-499a-b05e-33d3a9768e71" /> Walking through snow or sand leaves behind a trail of prints similar to that of bloody footprints (they use the old sprites, in fact). Like bloody footprints, you can examine them to get a hint at what left the prints (shoe type or leg type if barefoot). When weather comes through (snow storm or sand storm), all prints will be cleared off. During a raging snow or sand storm, you won't leave prints at all. Snowprints can be filled with snow to remove them as well. Some equipment or effects will stop you from leaving snowprints (ski shoes, ice shoes*, heretic's cloak of shadows). Also you obviously don't leave prints if you're flying or crawling or riding something. **We don't have snow shoes* ## Why It's Good For The Game Initially I made this as a cute little detail, but I realized it has far reaching implications for play on Icebox (and many, many sandbox applications) On Icebox, any average joe can run into the wastes and become untraceable, which makes it almost impossible to track down antagonists. Snowprints... are a method for tracking people who run off into the snow. But you can play around it - You can make fake trails and retrace your steps. You can wait for a snowstorm to clear your tracks. You can even fill in your tracks with snow if you're patient. Alternatively, acquiring snow shoes means you leave no trail... or you could learn to fly, crawl through the snow, use a vehicle, so on. If you're assigned to assassinate a miner, you can follow their snowprint trail as they head into the wastes. However, this may only works early in the round, as the caverns have no snowstorm to clear prints - as miners come and go, it will become harder to follow trails. Speaking of miners, they can follow their co-workers trail if they get injured, or look for prints to see if a ruin has been looted. Similarly if a crew member falls down to the mining layers, they could find a miner's trail to follow it back to the station. And If you're a paramedic and someone was wounded out in the wastes, you might be able to find their trail to track them down. But you can't dilly-dally, as the storm will wipe away any chance of that. Ultimately I think a small detail like this has some big potential for emergent gameplay which could be cool. My intent is not to affect antagonists too negatively, so more tools to avoid leaving prints (snow shoes) could be added. ## Changelog 🆑 Melbert add: Walking in snow or sand leaves behind prints. You can examine the turf to see what left the prints, like with bloodprints. add: Snowstorms or sandstorms clear away any footprints left behind in the snow or sand. add: Some equipment or effects, like skis or snowshoes, prevent you from leaving prints in the snow. add: You can fill in snowprints with snow. /🆑	2026-04-03 15:32:09 +01:00
RusselNotSCPandGitHub	4ceac8f297	Classic Cocktails 2: The liqueurening (#95392) ... ## About The Pull Request TL;DR: "What do you mean we didn't have a negroni in the game before?" This adds three new very commonly used liqueurs to the game: A bitter red aperitivo, an herbal liqueur, and maraschino liqueur. Additionally, it adds 15 new classic cocktails that use these new liqueurs. Mechanically relevant drinks include: - The Poet's Dream, which can grant non-heretics the ability to dream like them - The Garibaldi, which grants revolutionaries the determination to shrug off their wounds - The Jungle Bird, which soothes the supermatter when ingested by those around it - The Thermonuclear Daiquiri, which causes you to glow (and very rarely emit high-energy nuclear particles) - and more! Full list here: https://hackmd.io/@0lHAWBNkSXixU4v6xxYS_w/SkYjyDofbg  On the non-player facing side of things, this also refactors the heretic dream code a bit and adds a trait that enables non-heretics to have heretic dreams, which could easily be used by other things (ie if anyone wanted to make a perk or something that does this) Also, special thanks to MrMelbert and ChipPotato for helping me out with coding stuff in the discord! ## Why It's Good For The Game This is good for the game for more or less the same reasons as my first classic cocktail PR #92955 is good for the game: More variety gives bartenders more to do and a greater range of drinks to base gimmicks off of, and adding more cocktails to the game which are commonly served in IRL bars decreases awkward, RP breaking moments where someone orders a cocktail that's a staple you can find just about anywhere but which isn't in the game. Additionally, the new liqueurs are commonly used in many other classic and modern cocktails, which people can use to make cocktails in future projects. ## Changelog 🆑 add: Added three new liqueurs, with bottles available in the booze-o-mat. add: Added 15 new cocktails that use the aforementioned liqueurs. /🆑	2026-03-26 16:12:33 +11:00
MrMelbertandGitHub	6734968a57	Adds a 0 point quirk that turns your body into a recovered crewmember (effectively) on DNRing (#95469) ... ## About The Pull Request Adds `Thanatorenasia`, a 0 point neutral quirk Those with `Thanatorenasia`, upon DNRing, their body will be made into a "recovered crewmember" - meaning when the body is revived, ghosts will be polled and allowed to take control over it The body will retain `Thanatorenasia` after the fact, so the new controller can DNR as well, continuing the cycle ## Why It's Good For The Game A random idea I had based on a recent interaction that I thought could be cool character gimmick. Every time someone dies, they get revived with a different player, so they act differently, think differently, and don't remember the rest of the round. ## Changelog 🆑 Melbert add: Adds Thanatorenasia, a 0 point neutral quirk that turns your body into a "recovered crewmember" if you choose to DNR - meaning if revived, any ghost could take control of it refactor: Refactored "ghostrol on revive" behavior a fair bit, report any oddities with it / the spawners menu /🆑	2026-03-22 19:01:48 -06:00
LemonInTheDarkandGitHub	3729ee3ef3	Getting Mad at Parallax (Includes Boomerspace!) (#95382) ... ## About The Pull Request I want to do stuff with parallax (like placing stuff in the backdrop and moving it around), but I'm in my not doing 100 things in one pr arc so we're doing this piecemeal. To start, I wanted to try adding oldspace back as a parallax layer. This is something I was considering when it was first removed but never got around to, so here we are. I started by [writing a rust program](https://github.com/LemonInTheDark/old_space_gen) to fabricate the required icon state, then realized that all the different parts of space have their own animation delays. There's no way I could make one icon state with all them looping, so instead I split them up into multiple components and then overlayed them together. This works, but is infeasible (my gpu died) at the scale required for parallax (17 480x480 sets, 15 unique delays per 1 set) so I used render targets to render one copy, then mirror it to the rest of the overlays. This works wonderfully, and gets us down to (on my machine) a gpu cost comprable with about medium parallax intensity. I'm open to making these tile bound but I thought making them look "far away" feels better. In the process of all this I got very mad at the existing parallax code, soooooooo Parallax layers are no longer stored on the client, they are stored on and managed by the parallax home atom that holds them for display. Said atom also tracks all the information about how they are selected. Parallax layers no longer take a hud as input, instead expecting a client. (we were just swapping them back and forth and I thought it was dumb). Parallax no longer tries to support passing in a mob that does not actually own the hud it is displayed on. This feature wasn't even being used anymore because it was fully broken, so all it was doing was making the code worse. Parallax no longer has to do a full refresh anytime something about WHAT layers are displayed might have changed. We cache based off the variables we care about, and use the change in state to determine what should happen (this is improved by moving "rendering the layers" fully to the control of the home datum). Parallax no longer directly modifies the hud's plane masters, instead relying on trait based signals to manipulate them (this avoids wasted time in the common event of a needless parallax prefs check). Parallax no longer has 2 procs that are only called together to "remove/readd/update" the layers, instead doing both in a new check() proc. Cleans up some plane master cruft to do with tracking/managing huds (might break, tested, think it's fine). ## Why It's Good For The Game https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/79138a0f-9f6d-447d-843e-0d237db13276 ## Changelog 🆑 add: Added an option for rendering space parallax with old space sprites (the ones from before we invented parallax), they're animated and I feel quite pretty. fix: Space parallax should hopefully behave a little more consistently now refactor: Rewrote a lot of how space parallax handled itself, please yell at me if any bugs make themselves known /🆑	2026-03-20 14:46:30 +13:00

The world around you is consistently black and white, and objects will fade into view as you approach or fade out of view as you move away. - Echolocaters are now really blind. But you can still "see", so long as you're not also deaf. - Echolocaters can now "hear" mobs through walls, ie, see mobs through walls like thermal vision. - While echolocating you have the option of selectively ignoring things which would make the screen busier - currently, blood, items, and floor objects like vents or holopads. https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/d559482c-e6e2-4b97-8387-54bca4074db0 https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/aeddd805-230c-4e82-b93f-1e537f4186eb ## Why It's Good For The Game Echolocation is such a cool effect but it currently is basically unplayable This revamp aims to make it more playable, particularly by making it update constantly so you can react easier. ## Changelog 🆑 Melbert balance: Revamped echolocation effect entirely. Now updates constantly, rather than on a cooldown. balance: Echolocaters can filter out certain objects that they would really prefer not to see at the moment. balance: Echolocaters are mechanically (but not visually) blind, which means they have flash immunity and whatnot. Because of course they are. balance: Echolocater lose their ability to echolocate if they've gone deaf. Then you're truly fully blind. balance: Echolocaters can see (or rather, hear) mobs through walls. refactor: Refactored Prosopagnosia to make the effect a bit more generic. /🆑 --------- Co-authored-by: Jordan Dominion <dominion@tgstation13.org>	2026-02-22 19:13:37 +00:00

4 people	44f6846306	Adds structural weakpoints that can spawn on station (#94839) ... ## About The Pull Request This PR was originally described to me by @AnturK and I implemented a few elements of it to the best of my ability, then I promptly forgot about it for the last 2 months. This PR adds in randomly spawning structural weakpoints, using much of the same mechanics of spawning in hidden satchels. If identified using a T-ray scanner, they can be fixed using a welder by crew. More excitingly, if a weakpoint is subject to an explosion, it will propagate a crack, using a random line of turfs, then calling `ex_act()` on each one with a small callback chain. Finally, cracks will form additional weakpoints if caused this way, though are almost certainly going to be noticeable, unlike before where they can spawn undertile. With this addition, I've added a negative station trait, that will increase the number of structural weakpoints that will spawn in a given round. In a normal round, 3 weakpoints will spawn on the station, where with the station trait, 4-8 weakpoints will spawn across the map. Weakpoints come in 1 flavor practically, with a larger subtype being spawnable by admins. The vars for weakpoints also happen to be fully var-edit-able for admin purposes, including the explosion intensity that can cause the weakpoint to trigger, the number of sub-cracks, if additional weakpoints can spawn, etc. You may also seal weakpoints using sticky tape. ## Why It's Good For The Game Weakpoints feel like an interesting modifier to a map, where if caught early can prevent a bad situation becoming worse. Otherwise, weakpoints could very quickly cause chaos on the map, but despite their description, aren't capable of causing **too** much destruction that they can cause a shuttle call unless they're being manipulated by traitors or antagonists. Though low odds, the idea of a player welder-bombing a door or an IED going off related to the current situation in a round, being exacerbated by pure chance due to being near an IED seems really, REALLY funny. ## Changelog 🆑 add: Stations can now spawn with Structural weakpoints. If they're subject to an explosion, they'll crack open a tear in the station's turfs. If you spot one, make sure to weld it or seal it with sticky tape to fix one. Or not! add: Adds a negative station trait that greatly increases the number of weakpoints that can spawn on station. /🆑 --------- Co-authored-by: san7890 <the@san7890.com> Co-authored-by: MrMelbert <51863163+MrMelbert@users.noreply.github.com>	2026-02-06 16:12:31 -05:00
SmArtKarandGitHub	8e63bdd337	Moves disfiguration to be handled by the head instead of the mob itself (#94948) ... ## About The Pull Request TRAIT_DISFIGURED and physical disfiguration are now handled by the head bodypart rather than being on the mob itself. This is mostly for internal purposes, but it does mean that: - Players can now perform plastic surgery on torn off heads. - Disfigured mobs' heads keep their face hidden, and when attached to a different body won't magically get repaired and vice versa, attaching a new head to a disfigured corpse no longer disfigures it. - Robotic (and other non-huskable) heads no longer become disfigured from husking - Also in the rare case of grafting a head torn off from a husk onto another body, they no longer permanently turn into an Unknown. (lol) ## Why It's Good For The Game Saner code, we generally want limb-specific behaviors to be on limbs themselves and not on the mob. Also yeah that one weird edge case. ~~Husks are next on the chopping block~~ ## Changelog 🆑 qol: Plastic surgery can now be done on detached heads. refactor: Refactored how disfiguration is handled to be stored on head's side fix: Robotic (and other non-huskable) heads no longer become disfigured from husking fix: Attaching a head from a husk to a different body no longer permanently turns them into an Unknown. /🆑	2026-01-28 20:25:25 +00:00
MrMelbertandGitHub	bf22a388ca	People become desensitized to death from exposure (#94924) ... ## About The Pull Request Desensitized is no longer binary yes/no, now scales from 0.1x to 1x (or beyond, I guess) Desensitized jobs start as 0.5x desensitized (which is the threshold for being considered "truly desensitized") Some antags are now 0.1x to 0.25x desensitized Witnessing death of a fellow human gives you slight desensitization (currently -0.025x). A normal crewmember, after witnessing 20 deaths, is on par with a roundstart desensitized crewmember. Likewise a desensitized crewmember has almost no reaction to death after witnessing 20 deaths. Your own deaths count towards this value. There's an achievement for managing to go from 1x to 0.1x across the course of an entire round. ## Why It's Good For The Game This is intended to contribute to the "story" people face across the length of a round. Rounds with few overall deaths results in crewmembers regularly getting shocked, but bloodbaths results in crewmembers "dehumanizing and facing the bloodshed". ## Changelog 🆑 Melbert add: Desensitization to death is no longer binary - some antagonists are now more used to it than others. add: Witnessing the death of a fellow humanoid (or dying yourself) will slightly desensitize you to future deaths. add: Adds an achievement for managing to max out desensitization across a round. add: Desensitized crewmembers care less when splattered with blood. add: Holodeck mobs have a reduced death mood impact. /🆑	2026-01-28 20:22:07 +00:00

JacquerelandGitHub	faf2000100	Rust doesn't apply effects to people who aren't touching it (#94733) ... ## About The Pull Request Heretic rusted tiles do not apply any effects to things which are jaunting or inside vents. They also don't apply any _negative_ effects to things that are flying (but they do apply positive ones, just because flight is a cool thing to have earned and it would be sad to lose your bonuses because you have wings). I also renamed the element so that it isn't named after the rust passive (in fact, the rust heretics with that passive don't use the element) and simply describes what it does, and removed a subtype in favour of just passing in some arguments. I also added a trait which bypasses the negative effects of standing in rust, in case an admin creates a non-heretic creature and gives it rust healing. They shouldn't have _both_ healing _and_ gain disgust and minor damage from starting in rust (possibly the heretical harvester was being effected by this?) Finally I adjusted the `rust_heretic_act` and `rust_turf` procs to remove a footgun I saw a developer fall into recently where they didn't realise that the generically named "rust turf" proc actually assumes a wizard did it, now if we add anything else that wants to non-magically rust a turf then it will work the way you expect. As a side effect this changes the two item sources of rust that heretics get to actually use rust resistance rather than rusting every turf, I set them to effect all inorganic turfs as a default. And finally I noticed that rust heretic ascension was passing "RUST_RESISTANCE_ABSOLUTE" as a value into its proc which reads `Should not be rustable. EVER.` in its comment, which smelled like a bug. So I changed it to just "things which should be rustable ever". ## Why It's Good For The Game It is the logical way you would expect these things to work; Heretics crawling in vents or (for instance) using space crawl should not be healed for touching rust that they aren't touching, as they are not readily accessible to other players. The idea of the rust healing is that it's a tradeoff for exposing yourself in a visible "territory", so you shouldn't be able to avoid it by being in that territory but untouchable and invisible. Similarly, players who have gained the ability to fly would not expect to get sick from flying over rusty flooring. They're out of range. ## Changelog 🆑 balance: Eldritch rusted tiles don't apply their effects to anyone who is jaunted or in vents, and don't apply negative effects to people who are flying. balance: Heretic items which apply rust (grenades and eldritch reagent) check the rust resistance level of the turf rather than always rusting it. fix: Rust Heretics ascending don't rust unrustable turfs, like space tiles. /🆑	2026-01-15 12:43:39 +00:00
RikuTheKillerandGitHub	c7e4e90004	Adds a new antag, the Blood Worm (#93787) ... ## LTS Document Check this document before making any significant future changes to blood worms, please. https://hackmd.io/@RikuTheKiller/H1AHQSKNZx ## About The Pull Request THIS PR SHOULD ABSOLUTELY BE TM'D FIRST Blood worms are a new progression antag. When the event runs, 2 candidates are picked from ghosts and spawned in as blood worm hatchlings, which then have to grow up, do a couple objectives and take over the station. Hatchlings are weak outside of a host, while juveniles can stand their own reasonably well. Adults have high offensive power and can only be dealt with using the right gear or a lot of luck and robustness. They're meant to be a moment of glory for achieving maximum progression and they can bootstrap the next hatchlings by gathering corpses before cocooning. Each growth stage requires 30 seconds in a cocoon, which can only be created after consuming a lot of blood. There's a falloff curve on a per-blood-type basis, meaning you can't drain the same person over and over again to reach adulthood. The medbay freezer is a priority target for the blood worms and can get one of them to the juvenile stage if fully ransacked. It takes 500 blood to mature from hatchling to juvenile, and 1500 blood to mature from juvenile to adult. You can only get up to 1000 blood from synthetic sources like monkeys, and consuming synthetic blood is 30% less efficient. Blood worms can also examine living targets to see how much blood a target has, and how much growth the blood worm would gain for consuming that blood. Blood worms spawn in vents and have night vision for maneuvering in maintenance. Hatchlings can ventcrawl, while juveniles can move around by breaking things. Optionally, you can take over a host with a lot of access like the Captain to go basically anywhere, especially if nobody knows you killed the captain. Behind the scenes, host-taking kicks the host's original mind to a backseat mob. This needs the most testing in practice, but it's confirmed that it returns the host's mind back to their body, at least in testing. All mob, ability and action sprites are made by INFRARED_BARON. Legal rights were transferred to me after I paid for the commission. Note, I've been working on this massive PR for quite a while, so documenting every small change is really hard! Apologies for anything I've missed. There's a lot. Final note, admins can spawn these by either: A. Trigger the midround event via the dynamic-panel verb, under the Rulesets tab. B. Giving someone the Blood Worm antag datum via the Traitor Panel in the Player Panel for the target player. This will transform their mob into a valid Blood Worm, with all of the associated objectives and such. ### Active Abilities 1. Leech Blood (No Host) - Lets the blood worm drain blood from living targets and reagent containers. Uses an aggressive grab to restrain living targets until leeching is over, which takes around a second to initiate. Causes oxyloss during the leeching. NPC monkeys can't escape from this and it floors targets as well. 2. Spit Blood (Both) - Multi-function ability, lets the blood worm fire ranged corrosive blood spit at targets, melt restraints on their hosts by right-clicking, and as an adult, shoot a burst of blood spit at a target by right-clicking. Note of the right-click abilities, shooting bursts can't be done while in a host. (to avoid unfair stealth kills) Shooting a burst has a much longer cooldown than shooting normally. All spit types cost blood to use. 3. Invade Corpse (No Host) - Lets the blood worm take a host for themselves, consuming all of the host's blood and in essence, "becoming" the host. Any bloodloss inflicted on the host is taken as damage to the blood worm, and the blood worm retains its weakness to fire even in this state. Burn damage itself no longer has any extra damage, though. 4. Leave Host (Host) - Title, literally just leaves the host after a delay. Notably works even while the host is moving, dead, incapacitated or otherwise fucked up in any way, shape or form. 5. Inject Blood (Host) - Lets the blood worm heal its host. The potency of this increases as the worm grows up, but so does the cooldown and blood consumption. This works on organ damage, injuries, etc. 6. Mature (No Host) - Makes the blood worm enter a cocoon for 30 seconds, emerging as the next growth stage. Requires an increasing amount of consumed blood / growth as the blood worm uses it. 7. Reproduce (No Host, Adult Only) - Makes the blood worm enter a cocoon for 30 seconds, with 4 hatchlings emerging out of it, including the original blood worm, now reverted back into a hatchling as well. 8. Revive Host (Host) - If the host is in a viable state to be revived, revives them after an animation sequence plays out. ### Passive Abilities 1. Space Immunity - Blood worms are immune to the cold, low pressures and a lack of oxygen. Only the immunity to a lack of oxygen carries on to hosts from this. 2. Organ Insertion - Blood worms can insert organs into their hosts by right-clicking on them with the organ in-hand. This mainly exists to deal with hosts that lack organs, and avoids the gotcha where an adult blood worm ends up gutting their host by hitting them too hard, as they can simply fix it on the spot. 3. Life Support - Blood worm hosts don't need a heart, lungs or a liver to survive. Lungs are useful for speaking, and a liver is necessary to process reagents. 4. Regeneration - Blood worms slowly heal over time. This is nowhere near enough to overcome bleeding or heat damage, since it's 0.3 hp/s for a hatchling, 0.4 hp/s for a juvenile and 0.5 hp/s for an adult. 5. Night Vision - Blood worms can see in the dark. This doesn't extend to hosts. 6. Ventcrawling - Hatchling blood worms can ventcrawl. 7. Doorcrawling - Hatchling and juvenile blood worms can slide under doors. Doing so takes 3 seconds for a hatchling and 5 seconds for a juvenile. 8. HUD - Blood worms can tell how much blood targets have at a glance, via a blood HUD bar exclusive to them. They can also tell apart other blood worm hosts from normal people via an antag HUD. There's also an examine message they can use on living targets for even more info. ### Weaknesses 1. Heat and Fire - Blood worms quickly die to heat, their bodies are flammable and their blood will burn up if their host's core temperature is too high. The main counter to this is getting a host with flame-resistant gear. 2. Bleeding - While in a host, bleeding wounds will directly damage the blood worm itself. How much a host needs to bleed before the worm dies depends on their growth stage. Blood worm hosts keep bleeding even while dead, so just keep hitting them and they'll die. Blood worms automatically leave their hosts when they hit 10% health or lower, and their hosts bleed 50% faster than normal people. 3. Stuns - Blood worms have no way of dealing with a stunned host other than getting out. They can deal with any restraints by melting them, though. 4. Testing - Security can order a blood worm testing crate from cargo, either for a 20 minute cooldown via the security cargo interface console, or for 10000 credits via the supply console. It contains 4 single-use testers that hurt a bit when applied, but are instant to use and 100% accurate. The stopgap is that they're really fucking expensive and only work once per item. ### Screenshot <img width="280" height="132" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/00d22361-997e-4347-a0bf-aa240de40727" /> ## Why It's Good For The Game Antagonist variety, mainly. This is basically Cortical Borers 2: Electric Boogaloo. Currently, we lack any antagonists with mind control abilities. That really sucks! I've also gotten a lot of positive feedback about the antagonist while working on it. This antagonist also has great potential for roleplay, as they can take over hosts, surprise attack people by getting out of a dead corpse, talk to each other using Wormspeak, etc. I think we're also itching for variety on "pest" antagonists. Right now we just have spiders and xenos. Everybody knows these two, so why not mix it up a bit? And as for balance? Blood worms are relatively easy to dispatch when you know their weaknesses, which are extremely clear. Bleeding for hosts, fire for either one, lasers for the worms themselves. As long as you get the host in crit and keep hitting, you've pretty much won, and they can't keep spamming Inject Blood forever since they'll quickly run out of blood to use. ## Changelog 🆑 add: Added a new heavy roundstart/midround antagonist, the Blood Worm. Credit to INFRARED_BARON for the sprites! fix: Removing traits based on a source no longer causes issues with trait signals. fix: High-priority effects no longer double-trigger due to subsystem issues. fix: Weighted averaging in reagent merging code has been band-aid fixed. It's not the best, but it works. /🆑	2026-01-14 23:30:35 -06:00
Y0SH1M4S73RandGitHub	8348221b42	Fishing rods only apply materials to newly spawned fish. (#94745) ... ## About The Pull Request Material fishing rods apply their materials any time they catch a fish, even if that fish was fished from an aquarium. The math behind calculating fish weight from materials results in exponential weight growth, which becomes hyperexponential when you let the fish grow through feeding. This PR makes material rods only apply their materials to newly-spawned fish, preventing repeated material application and the downstream consequences thereof, including, but not limited to: - Exporting fish for absolutely absurd, potentially infinite amounts of money - Setting a mob's next click delay and/or next move delay arbitrarily far in the future - Creating an item with infinite force. This: - Instantly breaks any destructible structure - Sets a mob's health to `-nan`, making them immune to crit or death from damage due to how `nan` works with comparisons (at least until they receive any healing whatsoever) - `nan`-flood the station by burning a plasma fish with infinite mass - Freeze the server by putting a fish through a recycler, where it will spend the rest of eternity in the loop that ejects sheets from its material storage after recycling an item ## Why It's Good For The Game These are some *fucking* nasty things to have happen, and stopping them all with this one change is probably something that really needs done. ## Changelog 🆑 fix: A fishing rod's materials can only be applied to fish when they are initially spawned from a fishing spot. This means you cannot repeatedly apply a fishing rod's materials to the same single fish to increase its mass without limits. /🆑	2026-01-06 09:12:03 -05:00

SmArtKarandGitHub	a4f0dcb76f	Adds flaying, human butchering and limb surgeries (#94612) ... ## About The Pull Request Merry Christmas! This PR expands on the more gruesome areas of chef content, such as cannibalism. Human limbs can now be individually butchered for their meat and skin with a knife or another butchering implement once the skin has been cut and retracted (forks now can be used as bootleg retractors). If the limb contains organs, those will need to be removed first, which also can be quickly performed with a butchering tool at the cost of damaging the inhards (head and chest will require the bone to be cut first, which can be done with a butcher's cleaver if you don't have a saw) You can also butcher humans whole by right clicking them with a butchering implement on combat mode, which will attempt to gut/cut apart the selected limb. Obviously this requires the limb to be prepped first, so meat hooks/kitchenspikes now allow mobs strung on them to be operated on without needing drapes. Its a pretty bad spot to be performing surgeries at though, so beware! Torsos can only be butchered after all other limbs have been. The gutting/butchering delay is based off the owner's stat, halving if the limb is detached and doubling if the owner is still alive and kicking. <img width="392" height="265" alt="dreamseeker_D7QWbWKStd" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/050d7c25-3572-4b02-ae93-d8efefe54885" /> (The video is too large for github) https://streamable.com/459a0y After being butchered, most limbs will leave behind a nonfunctional skeletal limb (with exceptions like jelly limbs with no skeleton inside) which is always disabled. Skeleton chests husk their owner, so you'll need to replace it first. Gibbers now source their meat from the victim's limbs (and not their species) at an RNG-based percentage based on the matter bin's tier. As to allow individual limbs to be butchered, you can now perform (some) surgeries on individual limbs. There are some obvious restrictions like zombification or bioware surgeries, but most of the ones that make sense can be performed on someone's chopped off head as long as you've got the tools. Wounds also contribute to surgeries now, major slash wounds count as cut/open skin (and sealing the vessels would reduce their bleed rate), and critical blunt wounds count as sawed bones. I've refactored gibbers, butchering and meat spike code as well as fixed some backend bugs while I was at it. ## Why It's Good For The Game While rather gruesome, I feel like the freedom which these mechanics provide fits us pretty well. We already have plenty of nasty stuff and this doesn't really go that much further, and a chef serving their own leg in their dish is pretty funny. (Also you can scrape plasma off plasmamen bones)	2025-12-31 12:55:39 -06:00

3 people	fc1cb7d16c	Adds a fish trait extractor/injector to the marine utility node (and a bluespace fishing reel) (#94042) ... ## About The Pull Request Huzzah! It's been a good while since I last added more fishing features (instead I focused on small fixes now and then), but here I'm at it once more. This PR adds two designs to the Marine Utility techweb node (which previously only had the bio-electric generator kit): The fish gene-gun an as well as the bluespace fishing reel. The fish gene-gun is a pretty easy concept. It's a device that takes empty syringes. When used on a fish with an empty syringe loaded inside it, It'll prompt the user to choose which trait to extract. Once the trait is extracted, the syringe is replaced with a specialized 'fish trait injector' containing said trait. You can then hit another fish with the fish gene-gun again to inject the trait, or use it to remove the injector, which can then be used on its own, or loaded into the gene-gun later (the results are the same anyway). There are two caveats though: Using the fish-gene gun on the same fish more than once (extracting or injector) will kill it, and it also cannot be used on dead fish. The fish can still be revived though. The other thing is the bluespace fishing reel. It greatly increases the cast range, and it also goes through walls and other solid objects and is not disrupted by them. If used on objects, reeling the item in will move it through wall and solid objects as well. Other than that. It's a pretty standard fishing reel. However, it has one flaw, and that is it cannot go through reinforced walls (as well as indestructible ones), so no stealing from the armory etc. ## Why It's Good For The Game I've been having some honest to god skill issues with aquariums at times (they were also half-broken in the past but things have gone for the better...). Some of the fish traits are good, some are bad, others are utterly terrible (*looking at the anxious zip zap*) and kinda withhold some of the potential stuff that can be done, which is what prompted me to make this PR. Also, bluespace fishing reel because ~~JoJo Vento Aureo reference~~ it's such a neat concept. ## Changelog 🆑 add: Two items have been added to the The Marine Utility tech node: a fish-gene gun to add and remove traits to/from fish, and a bluespace fishing reel. /🆑 --------- Co-authored-by: Jacquerel <hnevard@gmail.com>	2025-12-18 01:02:25 +00:00

This PR is not meant to fix every single case of janky blood logic in the game. The main point and motivation of this PR is to add hooks for blood behaviors. This allows for way more flexibility with blood code. I am not going to fix our 3000 instances of single-letter vars, wacky blood transfers, etc. This is just the groundwork for future PRs to build off of, and by itself, should do very little to change blood behavior. I also added a rigorous set of unit tests for verifying that all of the basic blood volume procs work correctly. ## Why It's Good For The Game Previously, blood was handled via directly reading/writing [var/blood_volume]. This was INCREDIBLY inconsistent and there was no way to hook into it. This PR makes blood handling way more consistent, which is great for all sorts of features.	2025-11-13 11:45:36 -06:00

Fghj240andGitHub	6b2409065a	Empaths is now a component instead of a trait (#93680) ... ## About The Pull Request Empath has become a component instead of a trait, letting it store variables or whatever components are good for. Also, it works slightly differently for empath quirk users and moon heretics alike. Additionally: - You can only shiver when you see an evil person once. After that it won't happen again. - Empaths no longer get a mood debuff from seeing someone distressed. - Moon heretic empaths no longer get smited by evil people. - Moon heretic empaths aren't scared of evil people. The component also supports empaths being able to tell if a fake dead body is actually dead, and being able to use empath on yourself, but those aren't enabled for the empath quirk or moon heretics. (Self-empath would probably powercreep self aware) ## Why It's Good For The Game While the empath quirk is incompatible with the evil quirk, the trait wasn't. That means you could potentially become an evil empath and still feel bad about other people feeling bad and get smited by other evil people. Being an empath is different from having empathy, and there's now a personality trait (compassionate) that has a very similar feature so the mood debuff got axed and moon heretics can't get smited by mending touch anymore. I think being a heretic and looking into pierced realities probably means you have the mental fortitude to not freak out when you see an evil person. Evil people are (probably) a lot less scary than whatever mind destroying thing is in those holes. As for the only-getting-scared-once bit, freaking out when you see an evil person is flavorful but annoying after it happens multiple times. Especially if it happens after examining the same person multiple times.	2025-11-06 18:04:07 -06:00

GhomandGitHub	ca2cc70322	Organ damage refactor/cleanup (#93436) ... ## About The Pull Request So, my original goal was just a refactor for the emissive overlays of eyes, as a way to implement the specular emissive introduced by smartkar some time ago, but somehow I found myself dragged into a bigger refactor or cleanup of organ damage, thresholds, failures. One of the main problem was that there were no procs called when a organ suffered enough damage to fail or when recovering from failure. It'd just enable or disable a bitflag, leaving it up to subtypes to decide how to tackle organ failure their own ways: diverse, funky and sometimes incompatible. More often than not relying on their very own "update_thingamajig" kinda procs that run whenever the organ takes damage, rather than just when the threshold is reached (low, high, failure. There are however a couple organs with their own quirky thresholds, I let those slide). There's also a bit of old code, especially for ears, with the `AdjustEarDamage` and temporary deafness both predating the framework for organ damage as far as I know. It really needed a coat of fresh paint. Oh, there were also more than a handful of organs that still heavily relied on some ORGAN_TRAIT source instead of the `organ_traits` list and the two add/remove procs `add_organ_trait` or `remove_organ_trait`. This include organs that lose or gain specific traits when failing et viceversa. ~~Lastly, felinids (and the halloween ghost species) having reflective eyes. It's just a nod to the tapetum lucidum that animals with night vision often have (including cats), which is why their eyes are a bit brighter in the dark. Felinids however, do not have night vision (nor do ghosts). This is merely cosmetic.~~ Cut out for the time being due to issues with the specular emissive... ## Why It's Good For The Game Refactoring / cleaning up old organ code. ## Changelog 🆑 refactor: Refactored organ damage code a little.

EnterTheJakeandGitHub	a2c7c8e57b	Heretic Antagonist Full Overhaul. (#92119) ... ## About The Pull Request Heretic has received a complete overhaul. This PR touches nearly every aspect of the antagonist. For readability's sake, not every change is going to be listed in this pull request. For the full list of changes please refer to the design doc: https://hackmd.io/@BiST8PJVRjiwVPY86U3bLQ/B11HyChz1g. Code by Me, @Xander3359 and @Arturlang TGUI by @Arturlang Sprites by OrcaCora and GregorDM Writing bits by @necromanceranne ### Core changes - Cross-pathing has been removed. Main knowledge spells are now exclusive to their path (for the most part). - For every main knowledge unlocked (save for the robes and the blade upgrade), Heretics can choose one option from a draft of 3 random side knowledges (this is a free point). - Heretics can now purchase side knowledges from a new tab, the "Knowledge Shop". Side-knowledges have been divided by tier (Stealth, Defense, Summons, Combat and Main). Tiers are unlocked as you progress toward your main path. - Heretics now gain the grasp and mark upgrade immediately, but their main knowledge choices cost twice as much (except for the first spell, the robes and the blade upgrade). - Path specific robes have been introduced! They come with their own set of quirks. - Each Path has received a passive ability. This passive is upgraded when you first create your robes, and again when you complete the Ritual of Knowledge. - Paths have been rebalanced as a result of the removal of cross-path progression. Cosmic and Moon paths have received soft reworks. - Upon unlocking the path 2nd level or reaching a total of 8 points worth of knowledge, Heretics will lose the ability to blade break (and the limit on blades all together). - Ascension now automatically calls the shuttle with no possibility of a recall. - Late join Heretic has been removed. ### New UI <img width="750" height="635" alt="moon path ui" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/184ef783-5c9c-48a1-a2f7-4807ca93e990" /> ### Knowledge shop <img width="787" height="669" alt="Knowledge shop" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/3dc89b84-8c70-4d47-b612-54396e3ea6e7" /> ### Quality of life //General balance changes - Heretics will now gain X-ray vision for a few seconds when nearby an eldritch essence (this effect has a cooldown). - Ritual of knowledge now requires 1 uncommon item instead of 2. You may now use a stunprod instead of a baton to complete the ritual. Beartraps have been removed from the list of possible reagents. - The maximum number of possible sacrifices required to ascend has been reduced from 6 to 5 while the minimum has been upped to 4. - Codex Cicatrix no longer requires a special pen to be made. ### Passive abilities - Heretics now start with a passive ability. You can find what it does on the path info tab after a path has been selected, and what they gain when upgraded. - Crafting your first set of Eldritch robes will bump your passive to level 2. - Unlocking the 2nd level will subsequently unlock your "Ritual Of Knowledge" - Completing the ritual of knowledge or ascending will net you the final level. ### Path Specific Robes - Armorer's Ritual is no longer a side knowledge. Each path will have their own unique version of the ritual. This is placed after the 2nd spell in the tree. - Robes can no longer be destroyed by fire and acid, grant t4 flash protection (Moth Heretics stay winning) and protection against basic syringes, to bring them on par with other antagonist's armor sets. - The recipe to craft the robes is now a set of armor/vest, a mask (any mask will do now, not just gas masks), plus the unique reagent required for the blades (Plasma for Cosmic, Trash For Rust, match for Ash and so on) - Wearing the robes as a non-heretic may yield some unfortunate side-effects. ### Moon Path Rework Moon path rework. Moon Heretics gain immunity to brain traumas and slowly regenerate brain health. Equipping the moon amulette channels its effects through the moon blade; making it unblockable and cause sanity damage instead of brute. Ring leader's Rise now summons an army of harmless clones that explode when attacked; the explosion briefly stuns non-heretics and cause sanity and brain damage to them. Moon blade can also now be used when pacified and Moon spells are no longer blocked by regular anti magic, only mind magic protection. **Cosmic Path Rework** Cosmic path has received the biggest batch of changes alongside Moon. The path has been dead last in ascension and pickrate (less than 5%) for almost 2 years. It did gain some popularity over the last few months, reaching the highest ascension rate in the game (12%) while mantaining a relatively low pickrate. Cosmic sits in a weird spot, where pretty much every knowledge surrounding the path is either mediocre or, in the case of the ascension, dysfunctional. Yet it has maintained a smidge of relevancy due to how quickly Cosmic heretics can capture and sacrifice targets thanks to Star Touch. As a result, the best course of action would be to rebalance the entirety of the kit; granting the heretic more tools to manipulate space and dictate the flow of a fight, while lessening their ability to end a confrontation by instantly sleeping their opponents. lastly The Star Gazer is now ghost controlled ; And they shoot lazers! <img width="636" height="451" alt="gazer gag 3" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/601d6881-c042-4e42-8ce6-ac90cd27848b" /> ## Why It's Good For The Game ### Ok...but why do we want this? Again, if you want my full reasoning, please check my doc https://hackmd.io/@BiST8PJVRjiwVPY86U3bLQ/B11HyChz1g. To keep it short and concise; Heretic is too complex and unintuitive for its own good. Too impenetrable for new players and too abusable for experienced players. This can be chalked up to a lot of poor design decisions. But ultimately, what I believe being the biggest contributor to the current status of Heretic is the ability to move into different paths, also known as "Cross-Pathing". ### Cross Pathing my beloathed. Cross-pathing, while cool in theory, overcomplicates the antagonist and overloads them with power. Players dealing with the heretic are incapable of working out what a given heretic can do. This also leads to late game heretics having 3 rows Worth of action buttons and virtually no weakness. Over the last year, I've often received the understandable but also kind of unfair accusations of making Heretic too powerful without a clear aim or purpose. My goal with the paths I've reworked over the last year (Rust,Void and Blade) wasn't necessarily to just make them stronger (although that was also part of the goal, as they were paths that were underperforming), but for them to have more interactions with the sandbox and to better live up to the fantasy presented to the player. If an harbringer of frost gets countered by a cup of coffee, we probably messed something up. Unfortunately, the current incarnation of Heretic doesn't really allow for surgical balance changes to specific paths. Every time a knowledge gets buffed, we make every path that can easily tap onto that knowledge stronger by default. It doesn't take a genius to understand why this system is ultimately unsustainable. ### Blade Breaking I feel that after a heretic has reached the near peak of their power, they no longer need the ability to instantly escape any encounter. Check my doc for my full reasoning. ## Less versatile, more specialized paths. By removing cross-pathing, we remove a huge maintainability burden from the antagonist. Paths can now be designed around clearer strengths and weaknesses. They become easier to balance and less of an headache to understand for everyone. It also means we can give paths some needed quality of life quirks without having to worry how such a change might have a knock-on effect for other paths. Ash heretics can finally let loose without dying by their own flames. Cosmic Heretic can go to space without having to carry a modsuit. Moon Heretic can use their abilities without fear of one random trauma ruining their day, and so on. ### What a horrible night to have a curse...., wait how do I curse people again? As of right now the heretic tree has quite a hefty amount of trinkets that pretty much never see use. Partly because the tree itself is a nightmare to navigate. And partly because why would anyone set up an elaborate plan or scheme when they can unleash 2 rows of spell in the span of bunch of seconds. Heretics mostly gravitate towards powers that push them towards greater, more potent combat strength. If it doesn't contribute to killing people quicker, it isn't worth doing for most. And given the opportunity cost associated for taking those powers, they will remain that way so long as there are better choices to be poached. The new draft system encourages Heretics to play more with the tools at their disposal. If you want to go for a specific combo from the side path options, you may now do so by tapping into the knowledge shop. Yes, the shop does include a few knowledges from the other paths. But these are limited to 1 per path, are very expensive and can only be unlocked very late into the shift. ## Drip Of the Mansus The iconic heretic robe is actually sequestered to a side path that is most easily access by only two paths at a time. Since heretic paths are being made to be much more specialized, the most obvious way in which this can be showcased is through an easily identifiable outfit. By using the robes, we can both telegraph WHAT heretic you are looking at, and just how much power they've accumulated and when it is reasonable to take the kid gloves off and treat them as a genuine threat. If a heretic is in their robes, that heretic is now a significantly more prominent danger to the station. It also serves as a useful means for gating some of the more powerful effects of a heretic's path behind the robes, AND enable options for disarming them of that power should they be captured without making it something endemic to their mob. A major problem with heretics is a lack of certainty as to how powerful they have become. A heretics robes is one of the milestones to help players dealing with heretics identify that. ### Will this be 100% fair and balanced? This is a massive overhaul to a pretty complex and bloated antagonist. I've done my best to show the changes to several maintainers and other members of the community for their feedback. But at some point we'll have to see how this behave in the environment to get a feel if something is over or undertuned. (that's my way of saying, yes this is likely gonna require a testmerge or two). What I will say is that I'm not trying to change the core identity of Heretic. Heretics should have the upperhand in single encounters early on, be able to joust a small group of players after they unlock their final spell, and end the round when they ascend. They're a progression antagonist. They should retain their payoff as well as pose a danger as they grow stronger. But if more players feel like they are more reliably able to play the antagonist in more varied and interesting ways, rather than the antagonist largely existing as a measuring stick for 'robustness' due to its elitist design philosophy, then the rework has been a success. There should be something for everyone in the antagonist, as is true for all of our antagonist roles.	2025-10-15 22:34:51 +00:00
