necromanceranne	8f15d0ea2c	Adds .38 Flare, which is a lethal laser bullet casing available for printing with Advanced Beam Weaponry. Adjust ammo material values. (#91726) ... ## About The Pull Request  Adds the .38 Flare. It does 20 damage. This round highlights the target for 2 minutes, and projectiles hitting the target always hit the limb that the shooter was aiming at. Your shot has effectively perfect limb accuracy, no matter how far the bullet needs to travel. This also affects other projectiles hitting the target that aren't the .38 Flare. To indicate whether or not a round in a magazine is either lead or laser, I've borrowed the implementation of ammo overlays from the C-20r toy magazines Now each bullet in the speedloaders for .38 can be a distinct type visibly. Might be interesting if anyone wants to add additional unique appearances for some of the other .38 rounds. Reduces the overall cost of a lot of the ammunition in the sec and autolathe, such as loose bullets. Also reduces the material quantity within bullet casings. ## Why It's Good For The Game > .38 Flare By popular demand, I've come up with a new idea. And that idea...is an anti-bullet deviation tool. Most players are probably not conscious of bullet deviation. But if you're familiar with the mechanic, it's why sometimes your shots may hit into an arm or a leg even though you were aiming at the head. The way this works is that over the course of a bullets flight, it increases in inaccuracy and the pobability of drifting into a limb. From my last estimate, shooting somewhere around 5 tiles away will usually result in bullet drift. While affected by the flare shot, that does not happen. You shoot at the head, you hit the head. To put it into perspective; you could consider bullet deviation a form of damage loss (its a bit more complicated than this and there are instances where it is positive), and this projectile eliminates that problem for everyone shooting the target. > Ammo cost Some of these were pretty excessive for the cost, and a notable example of this include the .357 loose casings, .310 Surplus loose casings, and most shotgun shells. These should go down to roughly below 3/5th of a sheet of metal when printed from a fully upgraded lathe. Meanwhile, a single bullet casing was like a sheet of metal each, which didn't seem right to me. So they're now by default one fifth of a sheet of metal on recycle. ## Changelog 🆑 add: .38 Flare, a laser bullet! Available in both .38 speedloader and BR-38 magazine once Advanced Beam Weaponry is researched. add: .38 Flare highlights the target in an outline and makes sure your bullets never accidentally hit any limb except the one you are aiming at. Never accidentally hit someone in the arm when you were going for a headshot. balance: Reduces the printing costs of several ammunition types from the autolathe and security lathe. Reduces the overall material contents of said printed ammo/magazines. If you find a material dupe, let a coder know. /🆑 --------- Co-authored-by: projectkepler-RU <99981766+projectkepler-ru@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: Time-Green <7501474+Time-Green@users.noreply.github.com>	2025-07-09 17:11:23 +00:00
SmArtKar	c108ef79ac	Healium bolts now embed and heal/knock out passively over time instead of being instant and unblockable (#91481) ... ## About The Pull Request Healium bolts now heal you for 5 of each damage per second for 6 seconds before falling out, while applying 2 seconds of drowsiness. If you have at least 5 seconds of drowsiness (after 4 seconds of processing, because we add 2 and it gets deducted by 1 afterwards) you get knocked out for 3 seconds (similarly to how it worked before, but with 1 additional second left of processing if you were only shot by one bolt, you end up knocked out for 4 seconds). It takes 1.5 seconds to rip one out, so you should be able to react to being shot by one unless the attacker follows it up with a melee distruption. Bolts that fall out restore their charges, but only one bolt at a time can be putting the target to sleep. https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/7936895e-f4dc-4bd6-847f-495c7f1202db Video is a bit outdated, delay before knockout been bumped by a second. ###### This is a commission for Ezel/Improvedname ## Why It's Good For The Game Healium bolts are an instant knockout that could be mass-produced to either instantly win fights, or thrown at medbay to quickly hit corpses by poking them over and over again as bolts didn't even embed, so players can instantly reload and shoot them again. It was either making them harder to produce, or reducing the effects, and former wouldn't solve the knockout issue. They also didn't care about block values, so even if you blocked or reflected one you'd still get knocked out. lol ## Changelog 🆑 balance: Healium bolts now heal and knock out overtime while being embedded instead of being instant. balance: Healium bolts dissolve after being embedded for 6 seconds and don't work on corpses fix: Healium bolts no longer ignore being blocked/parried/reflected /🆑	2025-06-29 13:47:00 +10:00
MrMelbert	5261efb67f	Re-refactors batons / Refactors attack chain force modifiers (#90809) ... ## About The Pull Request Melee attack chain now has a list passed along with it, `attack_modifiers`, which you can stick force modifiers to change the resulting attack This is basically a soft implementation of damage packets until a more definitive pr, but one that only applies to item attack chain, and not unarmed attacks. This change was done to facilitate a baton refactor - batons no longer hack together their own attack chain, and are now integrated straight into the real attack chain. This refactor itself was done because batons don't send any attack signals, which has been annoying in the past (for swing combat). ## Changelog 🆑 Melbert refactor: Batons have been refactored again. Baton stuns now properly count as an attack, when before it was a nothing. Report any oddities, particularly in regards to harmbatonning vs normal batonning. refactor: The method of adjusting item damage mid-attack has been refactored - some affected items include the Nullblade and knives. Report any strange happenings with damage numbers. refactor: A few objects have been moved to the new interaction chain - records consoles, mawed crucible, alien weeds and space vines, hedges, restaurant portals, and some mobs - to name a few. fix: Spears only deal bonus damage against secure lockers, not all closet types (including crates) /🆑	2025-05-19 13:32:12 +10:00
Ghom	339616ae78	You can now interact with held mobs beside wearing them (feat: "minor" melee attack chain cleanup) (#90080) ... ## About The Pull Request People can now pet held mothroaches and pugs if they want to, or use items on them, hopefully without causing many issues. After all, it only took about a couple dozen lines of code to make... ...Oh, did the 527 files changed or the 850~ lines added/removed perhaps catch your eye? Made you wonder if I accidentally pushed the wrong branch? or skewed something up big time? Well, nuh uh. I just happen to be fed up with the melee attack chain still using stringized params instead of an array/list. It was frankly revolting to see how I'd have had to otherwise call `list2params` for what I'm trying to accomplish here, and make this PR another tessera to the immense stupidity of our attack chain procs calling `params2list` over and over and over instead of just using that one call instance from `ClickOn` as an argument. It's 2025, honey, wake up! I also tried to replace some of those single letter vars/args but there are just way too many of them. ## Why It's Good For The Game Improving old code. And I want to be able to pet mobroaches while holding them too. ## Changelog 🆑 qol: You can now interact with held mobs in more ways beside wearing them. /🆑	2025-04-23 20:18:26 +00:00
necromanceranne	df3d6a31ca	Reworks flechette into a AP pellet round that does mostly wounds. Adds the Donk Co. 'Donk Spike' flechette round as a surplus round. (#89972) ... ## About The Pull Request  Reworks flechette shells from... whatever it was that they were supposed to be before into an AP pellet round that primarily focuses on wounding power and embedding power over specifically dealing direct damage (16 as opposed to buckshot's 30). Useful if you want to maim as a priority. You can print flechette once science researches Exotic Ammunition. Nuclear Operatives also get flechette rounds as a Bulldog Shotgun magazine choice priced as a basic ammunition type. In addition, you can also acquire Donk Co. 'Donk Spike' flechette shells. These shells fire plastic darts! They can be purchased by Nuclear Operatives as a surplus option for Bulldog shotguns. 7 magazines for the price of one. Donk Co. 'Donk Spike' flechette was intended to be an alternative to the standard flechette but failed spectacularly once it hit the market. Due to a lack of confidence in the product, Donk Co. 'Donk Spike' flechette now appears in maintenance loot as potential trash, as Donk Co. dumped it in the millions into various landfills across the sector. You can also print it if you find the tech in a BEPIS tech disk. Does it work? Why don't you take a chance on Donk and find out? ## Why It's Good For The Game I'm not sure if the person who made the original flechette actually understood what each of the variables was supposed to be doing or how they actually worked. A bullet with an excessively negative standard wound power (for a pellet projectile) and low damage, but then an excessively high bare wound bonus (for a pellet projectile). But then some ricochet variables without ricochet being assigned to the bullet... and a demolition mod on a round meant to be weak against armor? Nonsensical. So I've reworked it into two unique rounds. The first serving a practical purpose and becoming an AP option when the crew typically begins seeing those options open up (such as x-ray lasers). The same can be said for nukies, who love AP options, but one focused on lasting wounds is handy too for keeping someone down. There isn't a milspec option; so for nukies, this isn't doing nearly as much upfront damage as buckshot or slugs. You buy this when you want someone not to be recovered with a LOT of medical attention. The second being more tongue in cheek, but also giving a surplus option for Bulldog shotguns, which I think are having ammunition problems even still. Surplus ammunition might slowly roll out for all the guns, but I'm mostly focusing on the ones that have some slight price disparity for total shots compared to other weapons. Also, shooting people full of plastic is kind of funny. ## Changelog 🆑 balance: Flechette has been reworked into an AP pellet round that embeds and wounds, but has less actual damage to buckshot. You can print it once Exotic Ammunition has been researched. Also available to Nuclear Operatives. add: Donk Co. 'Donk Spike' flechette rounds. No longer offered by Donk Co. It can sometimes shows up in trashbins and dumpsters. And operatives can buy it in bulk if they really feel like it. /🆑 --------- Co-authored-by: ATH1909 <42606352+ATH1909@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: SmArtKar <44720187+SmArtKar@users.noreply.github.com>	2025-03-19 08:01:22 +01:00
Paxilmaniac	8846ffe59e	gives the smartgun aimbot (#89776) ... ## About The Pull Request The smartgun, instead of tracking targets if you click directly on them, will now track the closest target within 2 tiles of wherever you clicked if you don't click directly on someone. Also adds a reticle overlay that gets put over anyone targetted by the smartgun so you can know ahead of time that you're about to die. https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/0408132d-c02b-45fc-ad55-2fef0301b51b ## Why It's Good For The Game I tried to argue this is a good new player gun while making it's entire gimmick only work if you click directly on the spacemen.

SmArtKar	7f15e11993	Adds a new syringe gun mode and improves foam darts. (#89510) ... ## About The Pull Request This PR implements multiple new features: Foam darts now can stick to people as long as their cap isn't removed. Riot foam darts have a chance to jostle when you move with one stuck inside of you, dealing a bit of stamina damage from the weight stuck to your limbs. Syringe guns received a second "low power" mode, toggleable with in-hand right click. In this mode, syringes fired will embed into their target and slowly leak their reagents instead of instantly delivering them. Thankfully, they can be plucked out pretty quickly. You can also insert syringes into uncapped (screwdriver-ed) foam darts (similarly to pens) to achieve the same result, allowing you to get a bootleg low-efficiency syringe gun. Additionally, I fixed/cleaned up some embedding issues/code which I found while coding this. ## Why It's Good For The Game This allows players to explore new funny interactions between items and chems, as we don't have a reliable slow release mechanism aside from IV drips currently. And foam darts embedding it just (mostly) harmless fluff, if someone figures out a way to cause havoc with it then I'll be very proud of them (someone totally will). ## Changelog 🆑 add: Foam darts now stick to people when they have their cap on, riot foam darts also can passively deal a bit of stamina damage when you move with one. add: Syringes can be inserted into foam darts, making them embed and slowly leak their reagents into their victim. add: Syringe guns can be toggled (with right click) between high power and low power modes, former being their normal functionality and latter making syringes embed and slowly leak their contents. fix: Fixed projectiles sometimes not embedding when they should've code: Cleaned embedding code up /🆑	2025-03-01 22:52:19 +11:00

necromanceranne	e9471b00b0	Adds the NT BR-38 Battle Rifle. A sci-fi hybrid gun, but better than the last attempt. Only SOMETIMES fails at existence. (#88095) ... ## About The Pull Request A repeat of the first half of https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/86853 The NT BR-38 Battle Rifle is a semi-automatic railgun...marksman...carbine...rifle...thingy that uses .38 ammunition and is magazine fed from a 15 round magazine. It comes with a scope, and is bulky.  Sprites by OrcaCora. ### Some of its features The gun shoots at a higher than normal velocity for .38. This means it hits harder (30 damage compared to the standard 25), and flies faster through the air. The gun, however, suffers from degradation as it is used. It has a 10 shot buffer before suffering degradation. After the 10 shot buffer, it has a 10% chance each shot to increase in degradation stage. From stage 1 to stage 5 (the maximum stage), it begins to lose fire rate and projectile flight speed. To recalibrate the gun, you can do one of two things; A) Use a multitool on the gun. This completely resets the gun, but its pretty slow. B) Insert it into a weapon recharger to recharge its buffer and reduce its degradation stages. ### Some of its downsides The weapon is EMP vulnerable. If it gets EMP'd, it immediately degrades and loses any buffer it has. While EMP'd, there is a 75% chance it doesn't fire when you pull the trigger. This is also true if the gun has hit maximum degradation. Keep your guns in good shape. It can be emagged. While emagged, the gun has increased damage (40 for standard ammunition), but once it hits maximum degradation, it immediately begins to catastrophically fail. It also degrades significantly faster while emagged. There is no way to reverse this effect, and the explosion is extremely lethal. ### Where can I find it? What about ammo? You can purchase the gun from cargo at a significant premium, as well as some additional magazines of some basic ammo types. There is exactly one of these in the armory, and you can print more magazines from the security protolathe. As research progresses, you can print different, specialized ammunition for the rifle. (and also the detective .38 revolver, obviously) ### New .38 ammunition types True Strike bounces accurately between targets, but deals significantly less damage than other ammo types (15 base, 18 in this rifle). It is printed once the station gets Exotic Ammo. ## Why It's Good For The Game This is a followup on my previous PR, where I tested this weapon and gathered a whole bunch of feedback on it. Most people quite liked it. but had some concerns that I feel this addresses. Much of the justifications given there apply here. Obviously ignoring anything to do with the combat shotgun removal. Some stuff obviously has not come back from the original test. Notably, the TRAC changes were probably a little too powerful. As much as I liked a default entirely nonlethal ammunition type, TRAC itself is better left as a late research goal. In addition, I moved the explosion part to an emag effect. It's funny, and lends itself to the original intention of the weapon; a callback to the WT-550 incident. But it isn't a standard part of the guns mechanics.	2024-12-13 19:46:24 +00:00

SmArtKar	ad111f4950	Spacemove refactor - Newtonian physics (#84869) ... ## About The Pull Request This PR significantly enhances how zero-g movement works. Its no longer locked to one of 8 directions, everything now has inertia and is affected by weight. This means that throwing a piece of wire will no longer completely reverse your movement direction, and that being thrown out of mass driver no longer will slow you down to a halt at some point. This leads to following gameplay changes: * Guns now accelerate you. Ballistics have higher acceleration than lasers, and higher calibers have higher acceleration than smaller ones. This means that firing full-auto weapons in zero-g will make you drift and accelerate significantly. While this can be a hilarious way to travel in space, it makes using them trickier. * Impacting a wall or an object while moving at high speeds will cause you to violently crash into it as if you were thrown. Careful when exploring! * Jetpacks now have inertia. Changes introduced in #84712 have been mostly reverted, although speed buff has been reduced to 0.3 instead of 0.5 (although this is compensated by new movement mechanics, so overall speed should be roughly equal). All MODsuit jetpacks now possess the speed boost. Advanced MODsuit jets (which has also been added back) and captain's jetpack instead have higher acceleration and stabilization power, providing much more precise control over your movement. * Firing guns while moving on a jetpack will partially negate your pack's acceleration, slowing you down. Non-advanced jetpacks' stabilization is not enough to compensate for heavy caliber weaponry as sniper rifles, shotguns or rocket launchers. * You no longer instantly decelerate upon sliding along a wall. Instead, it may take a few tiles if you are moving at extreme speeds. Passing over lattices still allows you to grab onto them! As space movement is angle-based instead of dir-based now, its much more smooth than before due to using new movement logic. Example of jetpack stabilization in action: https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/assets/44720187/6761a4fd-b7de-4523-97ea-38144b8aab41 And, of course, you can do this now.  **This pull request requires extensive gameplay testing before merging**, as a large amount of numbers have been picked arbitrarily in an attempt to keep consistency with previous behavior (guns and normal-sized items applying 1 drift force, which is equal to what everything applied before this PR). Jetpacks and impacts may also require adjustments as to not be frustrating to use. Closes #85165 ## Why It's Good For The Game Zero-G refactor - currently our zero-g movement is rather ugly and can be uncomfortable to work with. A piece of cable being able to accelerate you the same as a duffelbag full of items when thrown makes no sense, and so does instantly changing directions. Inertia-based version is smoother and more intuitive. This also makes being thrown into space more of a hazard (possibly opening the door for explosive decompressions?) Jetpack inertia and gun changes - this is mostly a consequence of inertia-based movement. However, zero-g combat being preferred during modes like warops was an issue due to it negatively affecting everyone without jetpacks which are in limited supply onboard. This reverts the mobility changes which severely impacted space exploration, while making zero-g combat more dangerous and having it require more skill to be a viable option. ## What's left - [x] Refactor moth wings to use jetpack code - [x] Refactor functional wings to use jetpack code - [x] Locate and fix a recursion runtime that sometimes occurs upon splattering against a wall - [x] Add craftable tethers and modify engineering MOD tethers to use the same system ## Changelog 🆑 add: You can now craft tether anchors, which can be secured with a wrench and attached to with right click. They won't let you drift into space and you can adjust tether length/cut it via lmb/rmb/ctrl click on the wire. add: MOD tethers now remotely place and connect to tether anchors instead of throwing you at where they landed. balance: MOD tethers can now be used in gravity balance: Jetpacks are now inertia-based. balance: Guns can accelerate you significantly in zero-g. balance: All jetpacks now give you equal speed buff, however advanced MOD ion jets and captain's jetpack have higher acceleration/deceleration values. refactor: Refactored zero-g movement to be inertia-based and utilize angles instead of directions. /🆑	2024-09-26 02:49:54 -07:00
Ghom	11fce492bb	Jarvis, add buckshot to the blackmarket. (#85470) ... ## About The Pull Request  ~discord light-theme big L.~ By the by, these are slightly nerfed buckshots, create big puffs of powder smoke when fired, damage your gun, and MIGHT blow you up in the same style of using a detective revolver loaded with .357 if you fire too many. Also, the integrity of the firearm now counts towards the damage of bullets it's fired from. ## Why It's Good For The Game The blackmarket is a place where you can find illegally illegal, evil items, along with other trinkets.

Paxilmaniac	b98afcd140	Replaces my old and crusty pp-95 with the cool new nukeops tech on the block, smart SMGs (#85211) ... ## About The Pull Request   Adds the Abielle Smart-SMG to replace the pp-95 entirely. The Abielle performs nearly identically to the pp-95 in nearly all aspects, doing 0.5 less damage because it's not a projectile modifier on 9mm anymore. What the Abielle does do majorly differently, is give it's bullets a slight homing ability VS whatever you clicked on. This keeps the weapon equally useless to it's predecessor at spraying blindly down hallways, while rewarding careful aim with bullets that slightly track the target. ## Why It's Good For The Game The surplus smg sucks, and I don't mean performance-wise (although it certainly does, that's the idea). The surplus smg sucks because typically you would be better suited using it as a melee weapon due to the inaccuracy and low damage. Making the cheapo "I forgot to buy a weapon" gun practically useless is super punishing especially for newer ops who might not remember to buy a weapon first. The smartgun makes the surplus smg still pretty shit compared to the other nukeops guns that can down a man nearly instantly, but means that reinforcements or broke ass nukeops can still be relatively effective so long as they can click on a spaceman across the screen. ## Changelog 🆑 balance: The nukeops surplus smg, the pp-95, has been reworked into the Abielle Smart-SMG.

There is no limit to the amount of times it can be read, so if you want to corner the market remember to lock up the documents. Or you can share them with your friends. **Now COMPLETE!**  ## Why It's Good For The Game This ruin is a multi-room dungeon with multiple solutions to each room. It has plenty of action from mobs, traps and hazards. Each room has some form of treasure or unique item in it. There's a boss at the end with great rewards for fighting it, including a cool gun (slightly worse variant of laser carbine). This ruin is also a whiteship dock and space base. The public area is entirely safe: stick to the well lit sector and don't trespass in the employees only areas and you won't be harmed. There is a variety of vendors to resupply at (including a brand new Donk Co snack vendor) but unlike most other space ruins you do have to pay. A whiteship can dock at this ruin if you have one, so you can bring groups of people to party or attack the dungeon together. ## Changelog 🆑 add: Adds the Haunted Trading Post space ruin. add: Adds 10+ unique items for the Haunted Trading Post add: Adds 5 dangerous mobs for the Haunted Trading Post add: Adds 4 new types of hazardous traps for the Haunted Trading Post. /🆑 --------- Co-authored-by: Afevis <ShizCalev@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: Ghom <42542238+Ghommie@users.noreply.github.com>	2024-07-23 04:46:29 +02:00
Ghom	4611958e74	Buffing some awful black market items to be less awful. (#84895) ... ## About The Pull Request With this PR, I'm making some awful or bad blackmarket items less bad (some are still bad imo). I don't aim to tweak every item that I find mediocre at best, because it ultimately boils down to opinion and maybe what I don't like, others do, but also because the feature was designed to have some "scammy" items in there (the broken chameleon hat is a prime example). Moving on, some of the more noticeable changes: - the old spacesuit in a box should no longer cost thousands of credits - the thermite bottle now contains enough thermite to melt one r-wall - replaced the shotgun dart item with a more expensive box of XL shotgun darts (25 units of reagent capacity vs 15) - replaced the science googles with a more expensive medical-security combo HUD (the sprites exist already) - the donk pocket box item can now spawn subtypes of the donk pocket box, this includes the gondola box, though it's pretty rare. - the suspicious pill bottle item can now spawn a pill bottle of maintenance pills The rest should be price changes. ## Why It's Good For The Game Many of the blackmarkets choices are downright a bummer, and I'm not talking about things like the broken chameleon hat, but stuff such as shotgun darts, science googles, thermite; I mean, SOME of stuff that's OBVIOUSLY easy and more convenient to get from a (proto/auto) lathe or the chemist and just make the blackmarket look kinda bad. ## Changelog 🆑 balance: reduced the prices of some blackmarket items across the board. balance: the thermite bottle (from the contraband spawner and the blackmarket), now spawns with 50u of thermite vs 30, enough to melt one reinforced wall. add: Replaced the science googles from the blackmarket with a security + health scanner HUD. add: Replaced the single shotgun dart from the blackmarket with a box of XL shotgun darts. add: The donk pocket box from the blackmarket now comes in different flavors. /🆑	2024-07-15 01:49:13 -04:00
Toastgoats	3c4444b1c4	Adds additional equipment for Silverscales. (#84257) ... ## About The Pull Request This PR adds a few notable changes to the Silverscale pirates: - Replaces the old nanotrasen branded hardsuit with the designer EVA suit, an armored hardsuit equivalent in protection to that of the standard pirates.  - Silverscales all start with satchels - The airlocks on the shuttle can now be locked from the inside - The shuttle now has a robot butler (medibot) named Mortimer, along with a burn kit. - Increased the amount of C4 on the shuttle to 3, and added a 1.30 damage modifier paywalled laser gun to justify having the recharger, the silverscales will need to supply the card themselves - Adds explosive implants to the Silverscales' outfit. They're greedy lizards, did you think they'd let their gear fall into the hands of the poors so easily? - The mosins now get phasic rounds to offset the disadvantages of low DPS compared to lasers. ## Why It's Good For The Game As it stands, it can be argued that the Silverscales are the weakest pirate faction, On paper, they sound as though they would be well-equipped elites, but are left with clunky, unarmored space suits, a bright dead-giveaway glow, and single shot guns that leave them extremely vulnerable to being rushed and stunned. As such, they've become somewhat of a joke amongst players for the past few years. This pr doesn't necessarily aim to negate their weakness, but I'd like to give them more of a safety net that puts them on equal to slightly better footing with standard pirates in terms of their access to armor, healing, and options. The addition of the explosive implant also serves to reinforce their theming of being rich, evil lizards, but is mostly meant to make them more entertaining. ## Changelog 🆑 add: Added the designer EVA suit, a unique pirate hardsuit for Silverscales. balance: Increased the equipment available to Silverscales image: Sprites for the designer EVA suit /🆑 --------- Co-authored-by: Afevis <ShizCalev@users.noreply.github.com>	2024-07-07 15:13:26 -04:00

KingkumaArt	ed4ba0d227	Adds Atmos-themed Rebar Crossbow Ammo Types (and minor balance changes) (#83310) ... ## About The Pull Request So this PR comes in two basic parts: the new ammo types and the minor balance changes. I'll go over each separately. **--- NEW AMMO TYPES ---**  -- Metallic Hydrogen Ammo: Made from Metallic Hydrogen, obviously. Has middling damage and no dismemberment chance, but pierces through armor and enemies like they weren't even there. -- Zaukerite Slivers: Made from a zaukerite crystal. Does high toxic damage, and has excellent wounding and embed chances, but lacking in armor penetration. Also gives 1 second of blurry vision if it hits you! -- Paper balls: Crafted from a sheet of paper. Mostly just a throwing joke item, and 99% nonlethal like donksoft. Can be fired from a crossbow, but also could be used if you wanted to have a snowball fight on metastation. -- Healium Crystal Bolts! Crafted (using menu) from the healium grenade item. Heals 30 of brute/tox/burn, but puts who is hit by it to sleep for three seconds, limiting its use in actual combat. -- Supermatter Bolts: Dusts whoever you shoot it at! Absurdly overpowered! Admin only! -- A makeshift quiver, made from cutting a o2 tank in half, to store all the ammo in. **MINOR BALANCE CHANGES** -- For some reason I thought the 357, which the traitor crossbow is a direct competitor to, did 40 damage when making the first version of the PR, instead of the reality of it doing 60. It's been buffed to 55 damage. (The basic engi one still does 35.) -- I've been informed that generally, the stressed rebar crossbow isn't ever used, as the misfire chance isnt worth the extra shot. As such, I felt it was thematic to say that the stressing procedure involves messing with the draw system in the fluff, and the stressed one now takes half as long to rack. **OTHER CRAP** -- The rods now drop themselves if you shoot them at a wall. Hopefully. -- Fixed the the non-bare wound chance on the traitor crossbow not being increased from the base version. -- Has a nice electronic discharge noise on firing. ## Why It's Good For The Game I'm very happy with the reception of the rebar crossbow, and felt that given it was an engi weapon at heart, giving it some engi-related ammunition would fit it very well (and also have a good reason for making zaukerite besides selling it.) The paper balls were more just so the crew could able to shoot their buddies with it and not maim them. As for the balance, I feel the tot crossbow being department restricted is already a strong factor in it being infrequently seen, and if someone is lucky enough to roll traitor in a job slot, it's a shame if their job's items aren't worth it. The stressed variant is a similar case, and I hope it's enough of a buff to encourage its use. ## Changelog 🆑 WebcomicArtist add: Added zaukerite (high damage/embed, low AP) and metallic hydrogen (High AP and piercing, but low embed) crossbow ammo for the rebar crossbows add: Added healium crystal ammo for the crossbow as well, which heals whomever you shoot it at. add: Added admin-only supermatter crossbow bolts that dust you, because why the hell not. add: Added non-harmful paper balls.

Arrivals docks directly in the middle of the station next to Upper Service, so bar might get more traffic. Not much different than normal Service, but janitors closet is also present here, he sleeps on the floor. We do not talk about the janitor. Above Bar is Library and Hydroponics with an overlook to look at bar. The Theater has a big curtain and a podium directly in the bar. 29.3.2024  **Civilian** - Also in the center of the station, next to bar. There isnt much to talk about dorms, its pretty normal. **Cargo** - Absence of chutes that go to departments, reminder that mail sorting is a thing. Cargo bay is a big open area with a boutique/shop facing primary hall that starts closed, and Cargo has its own crate elevator. Theres upper Cargo where mining, bitrunning and a secure warehouse is located (There may be a murder scene). The quartermasters office spans two z-levels and is relatively compact. Not much else different from regular cargo. ~~Oh also the QM starts with an empty PML-9 and a mostly functional rocket~~ 29.3.2024  **Medical** - Large centralized medbay, also two z-levels. There is a public waiting room with triage and a reception. There is also an inner elevator for the crippled. There are two medbay-access patient rooms that are unrestricted from the inside, and two operating rooms. Medbay has its own rad shelter. The virologist does not get their own satellite, but is still relatively secure. 29.3.2024 https://i.ibb.co/hs9kKbV/ezgif-1-f7b697b067.gif (large gif) **Command** - AI Sat transit tube access is here.

Very compact brig cells, and a meeting room that everyone that is related to security may spawn in if youre lucky. Warden has a weapon handout point facing the inner security hall and the equipment room. Reeducation chamber has a shocked grille treadmill. HoS and Warden Room and armory are on the upper z-level, and warden has a VERY good overlook over permabrig. Armory is seperated into nonlethal to mostly nonlethal and lethal. 29.3.2024  **Science** - Also pretty centralized, breakroom with a smoking corner, two z levels and a big overlook. RD office overlooks toxins and bomb site. Genetics and RD Office is on the upper floor, with a science exclusive monkey exhibit. Xenobio is thick due to proximity to bomb site, otherwise normal. 29.3.2024  **AI Sat** - Okay at this point assume any department is multiz. The antechamber is an elevator and the turrets are on said elevator. The elevator may be sent to the top level by engineers, where the AI core is. Telecomms is on the bottom level, and AI core is above it. Contains a borg entertainment room, and also the upload. The elevator being raised is necessary to properly enter AI Room. **Engineering** - Contains a less stale but still average and less than optimal SM setup. Prone to catastrophic disaster. The SM Room is two levels and very open, and CE has a trapdoor directly into the shard. Turbine is above atmospherics, so is the crystallizer. The HFR and main atmos and distribution room are on the bottom level. Piped by **Kendra Hunter**.

necromanceranne	6fd6ebd850	Pipegun updates and glowup (#83063) ... ## About The Pull Request Updates pipeguns with a brand new set of sprites. Also comes with pipe pistols; plinkier versions of the pipegun.    Alters pipeguns away from utilizing shotgun/rifle ammunition towards a bespoke junk round ammo. These shells are crafted similarly to current improvised shells. This also removes improvised shells as a shotgun ammo type. (these new shells aren't shotgun shells to begin with, they're more like rifle bullets) Crafting junk rounds produces an entirely unknown projectile in the shell. You won't know what you get until you fire the gun. Almost in every instance, however, the shot is beneficial towards killing things. And they all do about the same amount of damage, so there is hopefully never a round you didn't want to fire in the gun. Fighting someone with a pipegun is usually predictable for what amount of damage it will do, but any additional effects it might have is going to be an unknown factor. They also brutalize borgs, which is a quality that improvised shells had previously. Pipeguns operate as they did before, and do roughly 40 damage per shot with the majority of their ammo types (less than what they do currently with .310). They only have one shell in the gun at a time, so every time they're fired, they must be reloaded. Pipe pistols do roughly 15 damage per shot, but hold more ammo than the bigger pipegun. However, they're more likely to veer off-course. There are regal versions of each of these weapons, and each are more potent respective of their general rarity. Having one is going to be a lot more noteworthy. ### Minor changes Some more clothing items can carry pipeguns in their suit storage. The icemoon hermit spawns with a heroic laser musket rather than a regal pipegun (partially because it is too difficult for the hermit to get more ammo for their gun, and also because the regal pipegun is a more powerful weapon than previously) ## Why It's Good For The Game It has been a few years since I added the pipegun, and time was never particularly kind to it. There are alternative weapons now with interesting mechanics of their own. The ammunition it used has changed considerably. And it simply didn't ever feel like a 'junk gun' in a way that was fun. The original mechanics added to give it that feeling were just not fun to experience and were removed. So the pipegun has been left as 'a shitty version of X'. Even the regal pipegun was, at the end of the day, a shittier version of either a shotgun or cargo rifle. It didn't feel right not having some kind of unique quality to using these weapons that help them express themselves as unpredictable trash weapons built inside of maintenance. But I expressly didn't want to make it 'unpredictable' in a way that felt unfair on the person getting shot either. So just giving it more damage was right out. As a compromise, I reduced the overall lethality of the weapons while introducing a gimmick that will appeal to those wanting to play out the role of a homeless lunatic with a shitty homemade gun stalking maintenance. A 'chaos gun' so to speak. Maybe that will appeal to people. ## Changelog 🆑 balance: Reworks pipeguns to use an unpredictable 'junk round'. You won't know what you're shooting until you fire it. add: Introduces a pistol version of the pipegun; the pipe pistol. It is inaccurate and does significantly less damage, but more portable and has more ammunition in the gun. image: Updates the visuals of the pipeguns. balance: Also improves the Regal varieties of these weapons. By a lot. balance: More articles of clothing can be used to carry pipeguns in suit storage. balance: The Icemoon Hermit comes with a Heroic Laser Musket instead of a Regal Pipegun. remove: Improvised shells (the shotgun shell) has been replaced with improvised junk shells (which don't work with shotguns but do work with pipeguns). /🆑 --------- Co-authored-by: Jacquerel <hnevard@gmail.com>	2024-05-08 22:40:28 +01:00
Paxilmaniac	929a713b3e	Makes the rocket launcher epic ( Giant RPG Buff ) (#82212) ... ## About The Pull Request   The sprites of rocket launchers, rockets, and their projectiles have been updated. The name of the rocket launcher has been changed from "PML-9" to "Dardo-RE Rocket Launcher". Rocket launchers can be worn in suit slots as well as on your back if you really wanted. ## Why It's Good For The Game  The PML sprite is nearly like seven years old at this point I think. This is something a little less ancient and a little more cool looking. Speaking of cool. Weapon names that are just a bunch of random letters and numbers together suck, especially with TTS around making some of these abbreviated names pronounce really weird. The new one should roll off the ai generated tongue a little easier if someone mentions it by name. ## Changelog 🆑 add: The PML-9's name has been changed to something that's a little less boring random numbers and letters, and something that TTS can likely pronounce much nicer than before.

Y0SH1M4S73R	376781879c	Different pen types have unique behavior when used in foam darts. (#79587) ... ## About The Pull Request This PR makes the following changes: - Refactors inserting items into foam darts into a component on items that can be inserted into darts - Adds the aforementioned component to pens - Provides an inspection tip for how to modify a foam dart - Gives different pen types specific behavior when used in a foam dart Pens typically give a foam dart 5 brute and 50% embed chance (affected by falloff). The following types of pens give the specified properties (usually directly derived from the pen's stats and additional functions): - Red pen (and four-color pen set to red): Slightly faster dart - Captain's fountain pen: Slightly faster dart, and 75% base embed chance - Sleepypen: Tries to inject its reagents into the hit mob, but doesn't penetrate thick clothing like syringe guns do - Energy Dagger: 35 brute, 100% base embed chance, and slightly faster dart - Survival Pen: Mines rocks on impact - Fine Tip Pen (if someone somehow manages to get one): 100 bare wound bonus and 9000 demolition modifier ## Why It's Good For The Game Expands the emergent gameplay possibilities of using pens in foam darts. While there are balance risks involved with traitors being able to buy the equivalent of reusable 45u syringe shots and 35 brute bullets, you are not likely to get your pen back once it hits its target, unless you somehow have the recall spell and have bound the pen to it. There are probably more TC-efficient ways to achieve comparable projectile weaponry, but foam dart guns have an air of subtlety to them... at least until your skin is pierced by a pointy writing implement that may also be something more deadly.

KingkumaArt	ba076e94bc	Adds engi improvised weapon - rebar crossbow + Engi Exclusive Tot Shop Variant (#78777) ... <!-- Write **BELOW** The Headers and **ABOVE** The comments else it may not be viewable. --> <!-- You can view Contributing.MD for a detailed description of the pull request process. --> ## About The Pull Request  Engi now has access to a Half Life 2 Inspired rebar crossbow! Made of rods, wire, and an inducer, it shoots sharpened iron rods at a high velocity. High damage and good embed chance, but requires you to reload every shot which requires you to stand still for three seconds to pull the string back. You can also Use a wrench on it to force it to store more rods (read: more than one), but risks it exploding and shooting you instead. The syndicate variant, avaliable to traitor engis, can fire three rounds before needing a reload, and features a scope and better armor piercing ammpo, but costs 10TC. I see it as a sidegrade to the revolver - quieter and has much more widespread ammuniton, but holds less ammo and doesnt have the same burst stopping power. And, to those concerned about the balance of a non-traitor with this item - the AP ammo can only be made by the traitor who bought it, and anyone else has to use normal ammo. GUN STAT JUNK Normal one has 60% embed chance and does 40 damage (against unarmored targetd), but requires you to wait at least 3 seconds not moving to pull the string back. Good alpha strike but not sustainable in a long fight. Its akin to a pipegun. Lacks any AP qualities besides piercing a jumpsuit, because any wound chance it has is due to a bare skin bonus. Generally not a great weapon to fight sec with. Syndie version is generally the above but better. Takes less to pull the string back, slightly higher damage, better fire rate, etc. Doesnt fare well against any armor thats equivalent to sec gear or better due to most having low (relatively) AP and wound chance, but good bare wound bonus. STATS TLDR: Its good against unarmored chumps and greyshirts but anyone in armor that protects against bullets will kick your teeth in. Also, Ammo is crafted from an iron rod. I wanted to have it just fire rods as is, but theyre stacked items which you cant define projectiles or ammo from. ## Why It's Good For The Game I've always felt engi, for as big of a department as it is, is lacking in the "fun weapons" area. Sci has mechs and xenobio, med has chem nades and syringe guns, and cargo has anything the QM will buy - but other than the flamer and shocked doors, engi doesnt have much. Thats why I made this pr. it was originally just a traitor item, as they lacked many traitor items in their shop, but I felt like a worse, bootleg version would suit them. ## Changelog <!-- If your PR modifies aspects of the game that can be concretely observed by players or admins you should add a changelog.

necromanceranne	9ff9e4b9a8	Scatter laser shells now use the scatter laser beam, and makes them significantly easier to make. Projectiles can now have damage falloff. (#78927) ... ## About The Pull Request Allows for damage falloff to apply to more than just shotgun pellets. Now any projectile can have a damage falloff defined. Scatter Laser shells no longer use the minigun beams to determine their damage. Instead they use the actually defined scatter laser beams. Those beams do 7.5 damage per pellet, times by 6 pellets. Scatter laser beams now have damage falloff, a separately defined (positive) wounding power from normal beams, and wound falloff. Scatter laser shells can be printed from security protolathes once you have weapon tech. Scatter laser shells _may_ be damaged by EMPs based on severity. The result is that it fires a practically useless volley of laser fire. They cause a honk sound when they hit, so you know when you've shot one of these. ## Why It's Good For The Game Well, we want shotguns universally to not be defined by their damage output (especially extreme damage output) but by niche. What does the scatter laser shell currently occupy as a niche? The single highest damage output of any projectile weapon in direct damage. The thing we don't want of shotguns, and it is reigning champion of all guns. Okay, that's a bit misleading, because obviously it is competing with the likes of .50 BMG which does 70 damage outright and dismembers limbs, potentially doing upwards of 90 damage if it does, and also hard stuns people. Obviously _that_ is technically a stronger bullet. But not for raw damage, because the scatter laser does 90 damage out the gate, barring any potential wounding that might occur which increases the damage multiplicatively. No gimmicks, no extra procs, nothing. It's just 15 force lasers (with no damage dropoff) split between 6 beams. And the reason for this is because this shell has been nerfed once prior by making it not fire 6 normal laser shots into someone. That was 120 damage at the time, 120 to 90 was...I guess a nerf during the taser era. Depends on how you viewed it. Buckshot was doing like 80 at the time, believe me it was a wild period. But anyway, when we did the whole damage rearrangement over the course of the laser few years, every other shell got touched except this one for some reason. Even pulse slugs lost 10 damage while this was still sitting on 90 force point blank. So what is the new niche? Well, it's laser buckshot. That's not a niche but crew don't get buckshot, so this is their buckshot. It wounds real good. Real goddamn good. And its is a laser. It fits the aesthetic, obviously. Okay, thanks. ## Changelog 🆑 balance: Scatter laser shells actually utilize the _real_ scatter laser beam. This comes with damage changes. And wounding power. feature: EMPs can potentially damage scatter laser shells. refactor: All projectiles can now have damage falloff defined.

The recipe for the magazine now no longer needs TC, but does need donk pockets (sponsored murder gear, you see) and a hell of a lot more materials per magazine (you're looking at like 40 sheets of various materials all up). It also needs you to make the Condor first. But it comes preloaded with ammo. The Condor is 1 whole TC more expensive. Also needs some metal. The old recipe is there in spirit.

Thunder12345	e377b33c07	[Fuck Shotties] Old Yellers Old Yeller (Improvised Shell Nerf) (#78235) ... ## About The Pull Request Reworks improv shells to not be equal or even superior to buckshot, by cutting their damage in half and reducing the wound bonuses. In return they have a demolition_mod of 3, so do more damage overall to the environment, a true vandal's paradise. Added a glass shard to the recipe as an actual projectile instead of just sheets of metal. ## Why It's Good For The Game When buckshot was originally removed from the station (#55663) the intended purpose was, as requested by oranges, to make shotguns a specialist weapon instead of general purpose lethals. It has come to my attention that improvised shells (which were initially intended to be a weaker alternative made form commonly available materials) are in fact better buckshot, and had no right to survive the original nerf. I am now fixing that oversight by turning improvised shells into a more specialised vandalism tool. ## Changelog 🆑 balance: Improvised shotgun shells now deal half as much damage to humans and cause less wounds, but do 50% more damage to structures and machines. They also require a glass shard for crafting. /🆑	2023-09-20 08:31:23 +12:00
Ghom	54491a67e9	Fixing embedding for projectiles. (#77674) ... So, the main issue was that the variables for the embed element wouldn't set when attached to a projectile but only on items for some insignificant reason, which means it'll spawn the shrapnel yes, but won't embed it since the chance is null/zero. I read the code over and over and over with the assumption that something like this wouldn't have been done, yet it was. As for the secondary issue, because of how embedding works, the casing types of arrows and harpoon aren't spawned when hitting a non-carbon or reaching their maximum range. So, I'm re-enabling the reusable arg/var for the caseless component of harpoons and arrows, and modifying the `projectile_drop` to not drop their payload if the embedding component would already do that, so we avoid duping.	2023-08-20 16:40:03 +00:00

necromanceranne	6c34d93be7	Nukies Update 7: Hats (Also massive uplink standardization, weapon kits and ammo changes) (#77330) ... ## About The Pull Request Massively overhauls and standardizes the nuclear operative uplink. ### Weapon Kits Essentially, all the main weapons of the uplink have been changed to instead come as 'weapon kits', which are essentially cases containing a weapon loadout to enable operatives to easily start operating on only just one item purchase, without the fuss of worrying whether or not operatives are getting spare ammo, or getting relevant equipment for success. Consider this a pseudo-loadout, though without necessarily restricting the purchasing of more weapon kits. All kits come in three categories: Low Cost (8 TC), Medium Cost (14 TC) and High Cost (18 TC). This is also matched by categorized ammo costs; Basic Ammo (2 TC), Hollow Point and Armour Penetrating (4 TC), Incendiary (3 TC) and Special (or anything that does not easily fit these categories and does something real extra) (5 TC). Weapons that lacked these ammos have gained these ammo types to fill the gaps. <details> There is may one exception to this in disruptor ammo, which is priced as basic ammo if only because it isn't _quite_ good enough to justify pricing at 5 tc and I can see an op wanting to use it as a basic ammo type instead of normal .50 BMG against, say, a silicon/mech heavy opposition. Since it cannot kill organics on its own, I'll consider this mostly basic-adjacent </details> The kits have also been labelled based on potential difficulty. This reflects possible difficulties in using the item, how conducive it is to success for how much game knowledge needed to actually use it, and how likely an op is to succeed using it. I don't expect ops to win using nothing but a rocket launcher, but I think ops should get a fair shake at trying, yeah? The kits are as below: #### **Low-Cost** _Bulldog (Moderate):_ Shotgun and three magazines of standard ammo. _Ansem (Easy/Spare):_ Pistol and three spare magazines of standard ammo. #### **Medium Cost** _C-20r (Easy):_ SMG and three spare magazines of standard ammo. _Energy Sword and Shield (Very Hard):_ Energy sword and shield. (Also a special hat) _Revolver (Moderate):_ Revolver and three speedloaders of standard ammo. _Rocket Launcher (Hard):_ Rocket launcher with three spare rockets. #### **High Cost** _L6 SAW (Moderate):_ LMG, and that's it. No spare ammo. _M-90gl (Hard):_ Rifle, two spare magazines of standard ammo and a box of rubber grenades. _Sniper (Hard):_ Sniper rifle, two spare magazine of standard ammo, and one magazine of disruptor ammo. Also suit and tie. _CQC (Very Hard):_ Comes with a stealth implant and a bandana. _Double-Energy Sword (Very Hard):_ Double-energy sword, syndicate soap, antislip module, meth injector and a prisoner jumpsuit. _**NEW** Grenadier's Kit (Hard):_ Grenadier's belt and grenade launcher (the one that launchers chem grenades). (I replaced the shit acid grenade with another flashbang in the belt) Surplus SMG (Flukie difficulty) has been unchanged. It just now comes with two rations. Includes two new revolver ammo types: Phasic, which goes through walls and armor, but has significantly less damage as a result (I've equalized the revolver damage and the rifle version's damage to 30 for both). And Heartseeker, which has homing bullets. Both are Special ammo, and are priced at 5 TC a speedloader. ### Other Gear The other items in the uplink have also been consolidated and standardized in various ways. #### Grenades Most now cost 15 TC for three grenades of any given type (including the full fungal tuberculous). This is pretty much identical to the previous price, just more consistent overall and front-loaded in cost. #### Reinforcements All the various reinforcements now cost 35 TC and all refundable, equalizing cost to the average across the reinforcements. This is primarily because I feel like all these options should be weighed equally, and not one of these options are necessarily worse or better than the other in their current balance. They're largely inaccessible for normal ops regardless, and typically come out when there is a discount or war ops. I took the average value and went with it. Not much more to say. #### Mechs They're just cheaper. These things still suck and they need help. They've always needed help. A slightly less excessive value for the mechs may help see people willing to spend the TC on them. I doubt it. I seriously suggest not buying these still. I keep them in primarily because they are big stompy mechs and are kind of iconic 'war ops' gear. #### Bundles Since I've implemented weapon kits, gun bundles are rather redundant. So the bulldog weapon and ammo bundle, the c20-r weapon and ammo bundle and technically the sniper bundle were removed. The sniper bundle is now the weapon kit, obviously. Nothing else here really. Except for one.... #### Implants Not much changed here. I standardized the implant prices to 8 TC a pop. This is in accordance with traitor implants, which ops also get. So everything in this category bar a few exceptions (like macro/microbombs) are around 8 TC. Makes sense to me, really. Importantly, I made the Implant bundle 25 TC, and I unrandomized the contents. Who in the right fucking mind would spend 40 TC just to get five reviver implants is beyond me. But instead, you get one of each of the cybernetic implants except thermal eyes (you can just buy thermals and get the benefit of both vision types; x-ray and thermal vision, if you want to use smokescreens a lot). #### Base Keys They're all now 15 TC, except the fridge which is 5 TC. It's weird they're valued differently when they are taken mostly to do gimmicks like xenobio and toxins in a hurry before hitting the station. So we've standardized it. ## Hat Crate **YES, GOOD SIR, YOU TOO CAN ORDER A HAT CRATE FROM THE SYNDICATE STORE FOR ONLY 5 TC!** **NO NEED FOR A KEY, JUST BUY IT AND PULL IT OPEN WITH YOUR STANDARD ISSUE CROWBAR!** **ENJOY YOUR NEW CRATE! ENJOY YOUR NEW HAT!** **PUT IT ON USING THE FREE HAT STABILIZERS WE INCLUDED WITH THE HATS!** ~~**NO REFUNDS IF YOU GET BLOOD ON YOUR HAT!**~~ <details> There is a 1% chance to instagib people with direct hits from a rocket. This does the crit effect. </details> ## Why It's Good For The Game The uplink needed more spring cleaning and standardization. With this, I've partially implemented my older idea for ammo consistency and initial allowance for nukies. Ammo is kind of over-priced and often where a good chunk of TC goes towards without really pushing nukies towards meaningful success. And it is often what is tripping up new players who didn't think to get any. Now, when they get a gun, they get ammo in their case. On top of this, the weapon kit category is both at the top of the uplink AND has a little label to say 'Recommend', so that these new players will hopefully know they should be looking there first. In addition, it is the gateway towards a concept that is currently being worked on. Nuclear operatives having some degree of predefined loadouts for players to select if they aren't sure what they want, or don't know what to get. Nukies is very confusing for many players. So giving them a fighting chance with some premade setups can help ease them into the role without needing too much player knowledge in how to apply the items. This is only one step towards that, so that players can identify what gear they need to help succeed based on their skill. I wanted to implement a difficulty warning so that players can choose gear loadouts that are actually conducive to their skill and knowledge. I based it on how much players would need to know to engage in combat with it, and how much fiddling is required to get something to work properly (overly involved reloading is a consideration, for example, as well as precise button presses). In addition, how much of a force multiplier some weapons can be for their ease of use. Most people recognize the c20-r as the most new player friendly weapon, as an example. So it would be good to steer players towards taking that gun because of how easy it is to use, understand and succeed with it. And most importantly of all; Having standards within the uplink is important. Most of the values in the uplink are just completely random. Nobody has a good grasp of what is too much or too little. Even just a hint of consistency, and people will stick to it (see implants for what I mean). And there is still some work to be done even there. A good start is weapons. Price for power can be meaningful when decided whether we want some weapons to come out more often than others. Players do enjoy making informed decisions and choices, and having affordability be a draw to some otherwise less powerful weapons (looking at you, Bulldog) can actually be a worthwhile and meaningful difference. ~~I thought it would tick off the gun nerds to change the calibers on the guns.~~ ~~I also thought adding hats would be funny given the release of TF2's most recent update.~~ ## Changelog 🆑 balance: Standardizes some of the nuclear operative entries to have more consistent pricing within their respective categories. add: Adds some new categories so that players have an easier time navigating the nuclear operative uplink. balance: Many items have had prices reduced or adjusted to make them more desirable or more consistent within their category. add: Weapon kits have replaced almost all the individual weapons in the uplink.

ArcaneMusic	f2fd69a49a	Minerals have been refactored so costs and minerals in items are now in terms of mineral defines. (#75052) ... Ladies, Gentlemen, Gamers. You're probably wondering why I've called you all here (through the automatic reviewer request system). So, mineral balance! Mineral balance is less a balance and more of a nervous white dude juggling spinning plates on a high-wire on his first day. The fact it hasn't failed after going on this long is a miracle in and of itself. This PR does not change mineral balance. What this does is moves over every individual cost, both in crafting recipes attached to an object over to a define based system. We have 3 defines: `sheet_material_amount=2000` . Stock standard mineral sheet. This being our central mineral unit, this is used for all costs 2000+. `half_sheet_material_amount=1000` . Same as above, but using iron rods as our inbetween for costs of 1000-1999. `small_material_amount=100` . This hits 1-999. This covers... a startlingly large amount of the codebase. It's feast or famine out here in terms of mineral costs as a result, items are either sheets upon sheets, or some fraction of small mats. Shout out to riot darts for being the worst material cost in the game. I will not elaborate. Regardless, this has no functional change, but it sets the groundwork for making future changes to material costs much, MUCH easier, and moves over to a single, standardized set of units to help enforce coding standards on new items, and will bring up lots of uncomfortable balance questions down the line. For now though, this serves as some rough boundaries on how items costs are related, and will make adjusting these values easier going forward. Except for foam darts. I did round up foam darts. Adjusting mineral balance on the macro scale will be as simple as changing the aforementioned mineral defines, where the alternative is a rats nest of magic number defines. ~~No seriously, 11.25 iron for a foam dart are you kidding me what is the POINT WHY NOT JUST MAKE IT 11~~ Items individual numbers have not been adjusted yet, but we can standardize how the conversation can be held and actually GET SOMEWHERE on material balance as opposed to throwing our hands up or ignoring it for another 10 years.	2023-05-03 14:44:51 +00:00

necromanceranne	997dac9616	Imports and Contraband: Different! Cargo crates without locks! MEAT! (#74490) ... ## About The Pull Request ### **Cargo Black Market goods should stay in cargo's hands** #### New Cargo Console Category: Imports This category is explicitly the non-departmental category beyond simply having a Misc category. It is meant for material that nobody is meant to be buying for their departments, and mostly for the odd-ball crates that might show up. It also allows us to maintain contraband as exactly that; contraband that the departments shouldn't have access too whatsoever. If someone is buying from this category, they probably intend to be a cheeky fuck. <details> <summary>The New Changes</summary> #### Baseline Imports MEAT: MEAT (meat backpack you can eat) <details> <summary>MEAT</summary>   </details> Duct Spiders: They're adorable and cause a mess, but that doesn't stop Nanotrasen from importing them from the Australicus sector to your station! Stack of 50 Bamboo Cuttings: Pretty expensive and kind of a premium. Allows for those people looking to make bamboo decorations without hoping botany exists, and are at least willing to pay. Also lets them make horribly dangerous stuff with bamboo, of course. A Single Sheet of Bananium: The problems this will cause I think speak for themselves. (mostly due to a clown fruitlessly attempting to make something actually disruptive while bankrupting cargo) Natural Fish Bait: It isn't cheating, it's homemade. (Really good bait but expensive and obviously drugs) A dumpster...: A corpse in a dumpster, doesn't get more complicated than that. Useful for corpse reasons. Made using some code I borrowed from over here! https://github.com/lizardqueenlexi/orbstation/pull/354 #### Contraband Imports Foam Force Pistols: Same as it ever was with a price reduction. I brought it down because riot darts are like 8 bullets a clip, and do less damage than a disabler using riot darts. It feels like a sidegrade weapon, and even if it technically is a ballistic weapon, it...isn't that strong. I think this is pretty safe. Definitely Not a Duct Spider: It's actually a giant spider in a box. If you want to waste cargo's money while also sending them a mess to deal with, this is the crate for you. Russian Surplus Military Gear Crate: I took this opportunity to futz with boltaction rifles. There are two kinds of mosin nagant you can get in this crate. One of them is the good kind (no jamming). The other is the shit kind (yes jamming), but you get more of them. You can get the good ammo, or you can get the shit ammo. You'll have to pick through it a lot more carefully to make sure you know which ones you've received. Since this dilutes the pool even further, getting a good number of mosins that aren't trash is even more expensive, and even if you do get mosins at all, you might still only get the bad ammunition that doesn't work against actual human threats as well. It also now cannot be purchased through the security cargo supply console, and as to why they could in the first place baffles me. Doesn't have a lock anymore because...it's contraband? Who is locking this stuff? **Side note: _You can make surplus 7.62 in the autolathe as well. It is not very good except to fight fauna or naked assistants._** **Side Side note: _I've killed off the shitty brand_new subtype and brought peace once more to this land._** #### Illegal Imports (Emag) NULL_ENTRY: A journal that suggests how to make a...very interesting weapon. The Regal Condor. Kind of an evolution on some other ideas I've had over the years. This one is basically a secret weapon with a few hurdles to jump through. Very lethal. Very expensive. **Side note: _For reference, it's effectively 19 TC worth of gear to make, but there does exist some methods to acquire this more cheaply if you can get some bits and pieces from world spawns. Given it requires you to get some pieces of equipment that might require additional purchases of contraband, and getting into the captain's office to loot a specific piece of clothing, the stakes more than make up for the effectiveness._** Smuggled WT-550 Autorifle Crate: This is basically the same, but you might have noticed had you recently attempted, like me, to buy these when you emagged them using a personal account and discovered a tragic oversight. You couldn't, because they still needed armory access. This removes that access, because you've already gone to the effort of getting your hands on an illicit firearm through cargo, and if they techs somehow miss the fact that you've purchased a WT-550...all the better for you! Smuggled WT-550 Ammo Crate: Includes AP and Incendiary! **Side note: _You can get WT-550 ammo again via the Illegal Technology node._** Shocktrooper: Replaces the Special Ops crate. Contains a box of EMPs, smoke grenades, a couple of gluon grenades and a couple of frag grenades. Funsies. Special Ops: The NEW Special Ops crate. Contains a chameleon mask, jumpsuit and agent card. And a knife. **Side note: _This is what appears in some cargo loan events._** Refurbished Mosin Nagant Crate: The actual good mosin nagants. There are 6 of them. But they don't come with spare ammo. Hand them out to your techs! </details> #### New Crates - MEAT crate - Standard - Duct Spider crate - Standard - Giant Hostile Spider crate - Contraband - 50 sheets of Bamboo crate - Standard - A single sheet of bananium crate - Standard - Natural (drugs) fish bait - Standard - Dumpster with a corpse in it - Standard - Shocktrooper crate (Grenades) - Emag - Special Ops crate (Disguise) - Emag - Appears in some cargo loan events - Refurbished Mosin Nagant crate - Emag - Regal Condor construction journal (NULL_ENTRY) - Emag #### Changed Crates - Foam Force Pistols (cheaper) - Contraband - Russian Surplus Crate (less reliable, can't be bought by security console) - Contraband - WT-550 crate (more obtainable via personal accounts, thus incriminating, not armory locked) - Emag - WT-550 ammo (includes incendiary and AP) - Emag #### Crates that got moved, unchanged, into Imports - Foam Force Crate - Cosa Nostra Crate - Black Market LTSRBT - 'Contraband' Crate - Biker Gang Crate #### Not crate changes - You can print Surplus 7.62 (same as normal 7.62 but it sucks against armor) from hacked autolathes. - You can get WT-550 ammo from illegal tech. - Removes the redundant Brand New Mosin subtype - Fixes a potential exploit with jamming chance on Mosins. ## Why It's Good For The Game I just think some of the magic of Cargo getting their hands on obviously dangerous equipment and either hording it for themselves or attempting to pawn it off was lost in recent times. A lot of this 'black market' gear, however, suddenly became openly available to the crew anyway. For _free_. Contraband crates and mafia crates could be purchased via the Service budget. Security could just stock up en masse on mosins through their console. And one fairly unfortunate consequence of a few recent changes has made it nearly impossible to actually get illicit gear in the first place, even if you did go to the effort of getting the money for it. On top of this, most of cargo's goods are pretty safe purchases. There isn't much that would be considered 'actually a really bad idea to buy' other than maybe supermatter shards. I wouldn't mind there existing ways for someone to waste cargo's money while also causing them to have to clean up the mess. ## Changelog 🆑 balance: A significant overhaul of various illicit and dubiously legal goods and gadgets available via cargo. balance: Cargo now has an Import category for all non-departmental goods. (And black market goods) balance: Most contraband that already exists has been moved into Imports. adds: Includes several new imports of dubious quality. You get what you pay for. code: Removes the brand new mosin subtype as it is now defunct. fix: Fixes potentially exploitative code in the jamming proc.

necromanceranne	c27f9a6d9b	Minor Nukie Thing: Bolt-action Sniper Rifle, balance coding, and some ammo changes (#73781) ... ## About The Pull Request ### The Rifle: -The Sniper Rifle is now a bolt action. This replaces the 4 second fire delay on the sniper rifle. This overall will improve the fire rate if you're good at racking the bolt, but it will also feel less like you're in a weird limbo of inaction while using the sniper rifle, since the fire delay can be quite confusing to players not used to it. This can be tweaked, like reducing the speed of the racking action, if it seems like it is too much. -The scope component now goes up to 50 tiles (or so), which allows you to gain a significant sightline over an area. The reasoning for this is simple. The component actually nerfed the overall range of the sniper rifle's scope, so this should hopefully restore that somewhat. And having such a huge sightline makes it much easier to utilize the impressive range of the rifle. Currently, it's really only ideal for extremely close range fighting. -The normal sniper rifle, the one that syndicate base scientists get, can be suppressed. I don't know why it was different. ### The Ammo: Normal .50 BMG: Does much more object damage, and on top of that deals additional damage to mechs, but not by much more. Now, when it dismembers a limb, it also deals its damage to the chest. This ensures that you didn't straight up lose out on dealing a killing blow because you took their limb off, and makes the dismemberment property of .50 BMG a significant upside rather than a immense detriment. Marksman: Gains a lot of the above benefits, but has much lower range. Why this nerf? It's actually because of some funny nonsense with how ricochet works. Which can cause....accidents to happen. To you. Consider that firing down a straight line and missing could be quite embarrassing when the bullet has 400 tiles of range. Soporific: Now called Disruptor ammo. Works as it did before, putting humans to sleep for 40 seconds (seriously, 40 seconds). Also deals some stamina damage, if...that's relevant. But now also causes an EMP effect and a boatload of added damage to both mechs and borgs, allowing it to be an excellent anti-mech and anti-borg ammo type, as well as scrambling any pesky suit sensors, energy weapons and so on in an area around the impact. Useful for support fire. Incendiary (NEW!): Causes a massive firebomb to go off where it impacts (no explosion, so this isn't a stun). Also sets the target on fire, which is always fun. Good for shooting into groups of people with impunity. Also deals burn damage instead, since I think nukies could use more methods for direct fire damage. Surplus (NEW!): It's .50 BMG but it lacks most if not all the upsides. No armour penetration, no dismemberment, no paralysis. It still deals a lot of damage to objects, so not a bad option for simply removing structures from afar. So what's the point in this ammo? You can buy 7 magazines for the price of one. I want to introduce 'Surplus' as an idea for nukies to invest in if they want to be able to keep shooting but they're really on a budget, like most non-warop nukies tend to be. This is definitely subject to change (like a damage decrease on top of everything else). Pricing and Capacity: Normal ammo and surplus costs 3 TC. Every special ammo costs 4 TC. Every special ammo also has the same ammo capacity as the normal magazine. It's kind of weird how most of the subtypes had 5 shots rather than 6, but then soporific had...3? I don't get it. This would probably cause a good deal of confusion, especially if you are swapping ammo types and weren't aware of this particular oddity. Anyway, 6 shots. ### Minor Addition Gets rid of the cheap suppressor. It lies to players, tricking them into thinking this is a low quality suppressor. Newsflash, it isn't. There is no distinct difference between that suppressor and the normal suppressor. ## Why It's Good For The Game The sniper rifle, unfortunately, sucks a lot except for very specific use cases. It got a big nerf with the scope component in terms of range, even if the functionality is way cooler. And, at a baseline, there was some counterintuitive functions attached to it. Dismemberment was cool, but it also caused a loss in overall damage due to how limbs contribute to core health. On top of this, the cool ammo types were...not much better? Penetrator was almost always the best option, even if it lost a lot of damage as a consequence. So, what was it good for? X-ray + Penetrator. Pretty much, that's it. It has some other uses but if I had to be entirely honest, there wasn't much that other weapon couldn't do as well. Hopefully this helps things going forward, and I want to mess with this as well down the line in case its a bit too much of a boost in power. Absolutely please rip this PR apart. ## Changelog 🆑 balance: Makes the syndicate sniper rifle a bolt-action rifle. balance: Sniper rifles have a scope range of roughly 50 tiles. balance: Sniper rifle ammo, if it dismembers your limbs, does damage to the chest. balance: All the various syndicate sniper rifle magazines have consistent casing quantities (6 shots). They also have more consistent pricing. 3 for normal and a box of surplus, and 4 for every other type. balance: Reduces the range of Marksman ammo to 50 tiles. Not because it is strong, but because you might accidentally shoot yourself if you're not watching where you're shooting. Ricochets are no joke. add: Replaces Soporific with Disruptor ammo. Works like soporific, but also EMPS things it hits. add: Adds Incendiary .50 BMG. Causes a combustion to erupt from the struck target, as well as setting targets on fire. Great for parties. add: Adds Surplus .50 BMG. It sucks, but you get a lot of them! Quantity over quality, baby. remove: The suppressors in the bundle are of standard quality. The apparent 'cheap suppressor' that came bundled with the C-20r and sniper rifle were found to actually be 'fine'. Trust us. /🆑	2023-03-28 19:16:33 +02:00

They're not as strong, but they tear through everything they shoot, including walls and airlocks. They're not as lethal as the real deal or go nearly as far (range of 7, not even a screens length), but they are still pretty destructive. They don't fling people, but they could potentially barrel over several people, which I think is a good trade-off. Meteorslugs need gunpowder (for a bigger shot) and rum (yarr) to construct. ## Why It's Good For The Game Only through sleep deprivation do I get such diabolical ideas. Also, the original functionality wasn't very interesting except for like, maybe a few niche silly things, but the real value was using them to get into places. This version still definitely does that. But it's _cooler_. (The object displacement was pretty jank and I think this accomplishes a very similar effect without actively harming why people would look to use meteorslugs) ## Changelog 🆑 balance: Meteorslugs are now miniature cannonballs. They also need more gunpowder and rum to be constructed. /🆑	2022-11-21 21:03:26 -08:00
arnociiroc	2b02bf103b	nerfs shotgun darts (#70112) ... * Shotgun darts now only hold up to 15 units, with the nukie-variation being able to hold up to 30. This puts it on-par with the Syringe gun.	2022-10-09 23:33:15 -04:00
Ryll Ryll	7d8549c265	Confiscates the bounty hunter flamethrower, gives them a fire cycler shotgun + fire pistol (#65984) ... Some lovely person who will go unnamed decided 3 years ago that the flamethrowers would be a good weapon for some bounty hunters to use to hunt their quarry. This turned out to be a massive liability and cause lots of innocent people to get toasted, so this PR aims to give them a different fire-based arsenal that isn't so indiscriminate. The armored bounty hunter role is now issued a cycler dual-tube shotgun that comes with one tube of rubbershot, and one tube of a new incendiary shotgun slug that leaves no fire trail, but still lights up their target. They also receive a 9mm Makarov loaded with fire bullets and one spare mag (these ones do leave a trail).	2022-05-01 15:20:55 -07:00
Fikou	742b272f52	Adds a scope component, removes old zooming and adds sniper marksman ammo. (#66218) ... Removes the old sniper rifle zoom, replaces it with a scope component. the scope activates on right click and lets your camera follow your mouse. https://streamable.com/2c63u4 (due to byond rounding some shots were weirdly missed in that video, its fixed now) Also adds sniper marksman ammo to the nukie uplink. It does slightly less damage, but it is hitscan and has one guaranteed ricochet shot, so you can shoot a wall and it could still hit someone.	2022-04-25 15:03:49 -07:00
