Incoming5643:
- rscadd: 'Syndicate bomb payloads will now detonate if set on fire long enough.
Note that the casings for the bombs is fireproof, so if you want to set fire
to a bombcore you''ll need to remove it from the case first (cut all wires,
then crowbar it out). A reassurance from our explosives department: it is, and
always has been, impossible to detonate a syndicate bomb that isn''t ticking
with wirecutters alone.'
Xhuis:
- rscadd: Geiger counters have been added and are obtainable from autolathes and
EngiVends. They will measure the severity of radiation pulses while in your
pockets, belt, or hands. One can scan a mob's radiation level by switching to
Help intent and clicking on it. These counters never really discard the radiation
they store, and rumor has it this can be used in nefarious ways...
- tweak: When a mob is impacted by radiation, the radiation is now relayed to all
items on the mob.
2015-10-24:
Kor:
- rscadd: The friendly gold slime reaction now spawns three mobs.
phil235:
- tweak: Changed the effects of alcohol to be more realistic. The effects of alcohol
now appear twice as fast. Drunkenness now scales with how much alcohol is in

continuously no longer makes you very drunk, or confused/slurring for a long
time or give you alcohol poisoning. The dizziness and slurring effects now properly
scale with how drunk you are (and dizziness is generally more pronounced).
2015-10-25:

- tweak: Standardizes the slowdown of most spacesuits to 1 as opposed to 2.
Incoming5643:
- rscadd: 48x48 pixel mode (x1.5 zoom) has been added to the Icons menu (top left).
While playing in 32x32 or 64x64 will still provide a clearer looking station,
for those of us with resolutions that fall into the gap between the two zooms
this can provide a more consistant looking station than stretch to fit.
- rscadd: 96x96 pixel mode (x3 zoom) has also been added for our players who enjoy
looking at spacemen on their 4k monitors at a crisp and consistent scale.
- tweak: The lich spell has been subjected to some gentle nerfing. When you die
a string of energy will tie your new body to your old body for a short time,
aiding others in determining your location. The duration of this beam scales
with the number of deaths you've avoided.
- tweak: Additionally the post revival stun now also scales in this way.
- tweak: The spell will also fail if the item and the wizard don't share the same
z level, though the nature of space means the odds of the item (or the wizard)
looping around back to the station is pretty high.
- rscadd: The spell is still really good.
2015-10-27:
Joan:
- bugfix: You can now click on things under timestop effects, instead of clicking
the effect and looking like a fool.

the game preferences verb in the preferences tab

saving some annoying inventory shuffle at roundstart.
2015-10-30:
Incoming5643:
- rscadd: Slimepeople can now split if they contain 200 units of slime jelly, and
slimepeople will now slowly generate slime jelly up to 200 units provided they
are very well fed. Split slimepeople are NOT player controlled, but rather the
original slime person can swap between the two mobs at will. If one of the slimepeople
should die under player control, the player won't be able to swap back to their

you see through walls. Unfocused camera now give you the same effect as when

7 are increasingly harder to get than before, whereas balls before 6 are easier
to get.
- rscadd: MULTIBOLT IS BACK!
- tweak: Be warned that in multibolt all but 1 primary bolt now have a random shocking
range, meaning they may still target a close human over a far away grounding

twice the power of a stage 3 singulo with maxed collectors without any balls,
you'll need at least 3 balls for that now.

- rscadd: 'MetaStation: the library and chapel have had windows removed to make
them feel more isolated.'
MrStonedOne:
- tweak: Tesla has been rebalanced.
- tweak: It should now lose balls slower, increase balls faster, and be a bit more
aggressive about finding nearby grounding rods.
- tweak: additional zaps from it's orbiting balls should be a bit more varied, but
a touch less powerful.
Robustin:
- rscadd: Lings have a new default ability, Hivemind Link. This lets you bring a
neck-grabbed victim into hivemind communications after short period of time.
You can talk to victims who are in crit/muted and perhaps persuade them to help
you, give you intel, or even a PDA code. The link will stabilize crit victims
to help ensure they do not die during the link.
Shadowlight213:

coiax:
- rscdel: NOBREATH species (golems, skeletons, abductors, ash walkers, zombies)
no longer have or require lungs. They no longer take suffocation/oxyloss damage,
cannot give CPR and cannot benefit from CPR. Instead of suffocation damage,
during crit they take gradual brute damage.
- rscdel: NOBLOOD (golems, skeletons, abductors, slimepeople, plasmamen) species
no longer have or require hearts.
- tweak: NOBREATH species that require hearts still take damage from heart attacks,
as their tissues die and the lack of circulation causes toxins to build up.
- rscdel: NOHUNGER (plasmamen, skeletons) species no longer have appendixes.
coiax, OPDingo:
- tweak: Renamed and reskinned legion's heart to legion's soul to avoid confusion;
it is not a substitute heart, it is a supplemental chest organ.
- rscadd: Legion's souls are now more obviously inert when becoming inert.
nullbear:
- tweak: Wetness updates less often.
- rscadd: Wetness now stacks. Spraying lube over a tile that already has lube, will
make the lube take longer to dry. Likewise, dumping 100 units of lube will take
longer to dry than if only 10 units were dumped. (lube used to last just as
long, regardless of whether it was 1u, or 100u) There is a limit, however, and
you can't stack infinite lube.
- tweak: Hotter temperatures cause water to evaporate more quickly. At 100C, water
will boil away instantly.
- rscadd: About 5 seconds of wetness are removed from a tile for each unit of drying
agent. Absorbant Galoshes remain the most effective method of drying, and dry
tiles instantly regardless of wetness.
2016-05-22:

- bugfix: Fixes a bug where swarmers teleporting humans would incorrectly display
a visible message about restraints breaking.

than your hand.
2016-05-27:
coiax:
- rscdel: Gatling gun removed from R&D for pressing ceremonial reasons.
phil235:
- tweak: Pull and Grab are merged together. Pulling stays unchanged. Using an empty
hand with grab intent on a mob will pull them. Using an empty hand with grab
intent on a mob that you're already pulling will try to upgrade your grip to
aggressive grab>neck grab>kill grab. Aggressive grabs no longer stun you, but
they act exactly like a handcuff, preventing you from using your hands until
you escape the grip. You can break free from the grip by trying to move or using
the resist button.
- tweak: Someone pulling a restrained mob now swap position with them instead of
getting blocked by the mob, unable to even push them.
2016-05-29:

coiax:
- rscdel: Zombies can no longer be butchered
- rscadd: If you encounter an infectious zombie, be cautious, its claws will infect

head to stop it coming back.
- rscadd: Adds some stock computers and lavaland to Birdboat Station.
- bugfix: Free Golem scientists have proved that as beings made out of stone, golems
are immune to all electrical discharges, including the tesla.

Lati:
- rscadd: R&D required levels and origin tech levels have been rebalanced
- experiment: Overall, items buildable in R&D have lower tech levels and items in
other departments have their tech levels raised. Remember to use science goggles
to see tech levels of items!
- tweak: There are now level gates at high levels. R&D scientists will need help
from others to get past these level gates.

but not if it is ejected early by authorised medical personnel.
- rscadd: Cloning pods now are more capable of cloning humanoid species that do
not breathe.
- bugfix: You can only be damaged once by a shuttle's arrival. It is still unpleasant
to be in the path of one though; try to avoid it.
- rscadd: Adds Asteroid emergency shuttle to shuttle templates. It is a very oddly
shaped one though, it might not be compatible with all stations.
- rscdel: The Chaplain soulshard can only turn a body into a shade once. A released
shade can still be reabsorbed by the stone to heal it.
- rscadd: The shuttle manipulator now has a Fast Travel button, for those admins
that really want a shuttle to get to where its going FAST.
2016-06-04:
MrStonedOne:
- bugfix: fixes see_darkness improperly hiding ghosts in certain cases.
Xhuis:
- tweak: Clockwork marauders can now smash walls and tables.
- tweak: Servants are no longer turned into harvesters by Nar-Sie but instead take
heavy brute damage and begin to bleed. Similarly, cultists are no longer converted
by Ratvar but instead take heavy fire damage and are set ablaze.
- rscadd: Added clockwork reclaimers. Ghosts can now click on Ratvar to become clockwork
reclaimers - small constructs capable of forcefully converting those that still
resist Ratvar's reign. Alt-clicking a valid target will allow the reclaimer
to leap onto the head of any non-servant, latching onto their head and converting
the target if they are able. The target will be outfitted with an unremovable,
acid-proof hat version of the reclaimer. The reclaimer will be able to speak
as normal and attack its host and anything nearby. If the reclaimer's host goes
unconscious or dies, it will leap free.
- rscadd: Added pinion airlocks. These airlocks can only be opened by servants and
conventional deconstruction will not work on them. They can be created by proselytizing
a normal airlock or from Ratvar.
- rscadd: Added ratvarian windows. They are created when Ratvar twists the form
of a normal window, and there are both single-direction and full-tile variants.
- bugfix: Non-servants can no longer use clockwork proselytizers or mending motors.
- bugfix: Servants are now deconverted properly.
coiax:
- bugfix: The cloning pod now sounds robotic on the radio.
- rscadd: For extra observer drama, ghosts can now visibly see the countdown of
syndicate bombs, nuclear devices, cloning pods, gang dominators and AI doomsday
devices.
2016-06-05:
Joan:
- rscadd: Clockwork structures can be damaged by projectiles and simple animals,
and will actually drop debris when destroyed.
- rscadd: AIs and Cyborgs that serve Ratvar can control clockwork airlocks and clockwork
windoors.
- rscadd: The clockwork proselytizer can now proselytize windows, doors, grilles,
and windoors.
- rscadd: The clockwork proselytizer can proselytize wall gears and alloy shards
to produce replicant alloy. It can also proselytize replicant alloy to refill,
in addition to refilling by attacking it with alloy.
- rscadd: The clockwork proselytizer can replace clockwork floors with clockwork
walls and vice versa.
- rscadd: Ratvar will convert windoors, tables, and computers in addition to everything
else.
- tweak: Ratvar now moves around much faster.
- rscadd: Ratvar and Nar-Sie will break each other's objects.
- tweak: The blind eye from a broken ocular warden now serves as a belligerent eye
instead of as replicant alloy. The pinion lock from a deconstructed clockwork
airlock now serves as a vanguard cogwheel instead of as replicant alloy.
- rscadd: Clockwork walls drop a wall gear when removed by a welding tool. The wall
gear is dense, but can be climbed over or unwrenched, and drops alloy shards
when broken. Clockwork walls drop alloy shards when broken by other means.
- bugfix: Fixed Nar-Sie wandering while battling Ratvar.
- bugfix: Ratvarian Spears now last for the proper 5 minute duration.
- bugfix: Servant communication now has ghost follow links.

ease of use.
RemieRichards:
- rscadd: Slimes may now be ordered to attack! You must be VERY good friends with
the slime(s) to give this command, asking them to attack their friends or other
slimes will result in them liking you less so be careful!
X-TheDark:
- rscadd: Mech battery replacement improved. The inserted battery's charge will
be set to the same percentage of the removed one's (or 10%, if removed one's
was less).
coiax:
- bugfix: Clicking the (F) link when an AI talks in binary chat will follow its
camera eye, the same as when (F) is clicked for its radio chat.
- bugfix: Laughter demons should now always let their friends go when asked correctly.
- rscadd: Cloning pods now grab the clone's mind when the body is ejected, rather
than when it starts cloning.
- rscadd: Wizards have been experimenting with summoning the slightly less lethal
"laughter demon". Please be aware that these demons appear to be nearly as dangerous
as their slaughter cousins. But adorable, nonetheless.
kevinz000:
- rscadd: Gravity Guns! It is a mildly expensive R&D gun that has a 5 second cooldown
between shots, but doesn't need to be recharged. It has two modes, attract and
repulse. For all your gravity-manipulation needs!
2016-06-07:
Bobylein:
- rscadd: Nanotrasen is finally able to source transparent bottles for chemistry.
Iamgoofball:
- experiment: The Greytide Virus got some teeth.
Joan:
- wip: This is a bunch of Clockwork Cult changes.
- rscadd: Added the Clockwork Obelisk, an Application scripture that produces a
clockwork obelisk, which can Hierophant Broadcast a large message to all servants
or open a Spatial Gateway with 5 uses and a 10 second duration to any conscious
servant or clockwork obelisk.
- wip: Spatial Gateways of any source have doubled uses and duration when the target
is a clockwork obelisk.
- rscadd: Added the Mania Motor, an Application scripture that produces a mania
motor, which, while active, causes hallucinations and brain damage in all nearby
humans.
- wip: The Mania Motor will try to convert any non-servant human directly adjacent
to it at an additional power cost and will remove brain damage, hallucinations,
and the druggy effect from servants.
- rscadd: Added the Vitality Matrix, an Application scripture that produces a sigil
that will slowly drain health from non-servants that remain on it. Servants
that remain on the sigil will instead be healed with the vitality drained from
non-servants.
- wip: The Vitality Matrix can revive dead servants for a cost of 25 vitality plus
all non-oxygen damage the servant has. If it cannot immediately revive a servant,
it will still heal their corpse.
- experiment: Most clockwork structures, including the Mending Motor, Interdiction
Lens, and the newly added Clockwork Obelisk and Mania Motor, now require power
to function.
- wip: Mending Motors can still use alloy for power.
- tweak: The Sigil of Transmission has been remade into a power battery and will
power directly adjecent clockwork structures. Sigils of Transmission start off
with 4000 power and can be recharged with Volt Void.
- tweak: Volt Void drains somewhat more power, but will not damage the invoker unless
they drain too much power. Invokers with augmented limbs will instead have those
limbs healed unless they drain especially massive amounts of power.
- wip: Using Volt Void on top of a Sigil of Transmission will transfer most of the
power drained to the Sigil of Transmission, effectively making it far less likely
to damage the invoker.
- rscdel: You can no longer stack most sigils and clockwork objects with themself.
You can still have multiple different objects or sigils on a tile, however.
- tweak: The Break Will Script has been renamed to Dementia Doctrine, is slightly
faster, and causes slightly more brain damage.
- tweak: The Judicial Visor now uses an action button instead of alt-click. Cultists
of Nar-Sie judged by the visor will be stunned for half duration, but will be
set on fire.
- tweak: Multiple scriptures have had their component requirements changed. The
Summon Judicial Visor Script has been reduced from a Script to a Driver.
- rscadd: Recollection will now show both required and consumed components.
- tweak: Clockwork Marauders can now emerge from their host if their host is at
or below 60% total health(for humans, this is 20 health out of crit)
- tweak: Clockwork Marauders will slowly heal if directly adjacent to their host
and have a slightly larger threshold for their no-Fatigue bonus damage.

- rscadd: Botany, atmospherics and cargo now all have access to high-capacity watertanks.
- rscadd: The bar has now been outfitted with custom bar stools.
Xhuis:

not when it actually spawns).

and is much quicker when the imbiber is asleep.
- tweak: Suit storage units now take three seconds to enter (up from one) and have
different sounds and messages for UV ray cauterization.
- bugfix: Fixed some bugs with the suit storage unit, inserting mobs, and contents

phil235:
- rscadd: Monkeys and all other animals that should have blood now has it. Beating
them up will make you and your weapon bloody, just like beating a human does.
Dragging them when wounded and lying will leave a blood trail. Their blood is
still mostly cosmetic, they suffer no effects from low blood level, unlike humans.
- rscadd: When a mob leaves a blood trail while dragged, it loses blood. You can
no longer drag a corpse to make an inifinite amount of blood trails, because
once the victim's blood reaches a certain threshold it no longer leaves a blood
trail (and no longer lose any more blood). The threshold depends on how much
damage the mob has taken. You can always avoid hurting the dragged mob by making
them stand up or by buckling them to something or by putting them in a container.
- rscdel: You can no longer empty a mob of its blood entirely with a syringe, once
the mob's blood volume reaches a critically low level you are unable to draw
any more blood from it.
- tweak: A changeling absorbing a human now sucks all their blood.
2016-06-08:
Cruix:

mining modules.

for longer when hit.

and water to any soil - hydroponic or otherwise - that it's planted in.
- rscadd: Added cherry bombs, a mutated variant of blue cherries that have an explosively
good taste. Oh, and don't pluck the stems.
coiax:
- tweak: The beacons from support guardians are now structures, rather than replacing
the floor tile. In practice, this will change little, aside from not leaving
empty plating when a beacon is removed because a new one has been placed.
nullbear:
- tweak: Removes the restriction on wormhole jaunters, preventing them from teleporting
you to beacons on other z-levels.
- tweak: No longer able to use beacons to bypass normal shuttle/centcomm anti-bluespace
measures.
2016-06-11:
Joan:
- rscadd: Clockwork Slabs, Clockwork Caches near walls, and Tinkerer's Daemons will
now be more likely to generate components that the clockwork cult has the least
of.
- rscadd: Destroyed Clockwork Caches will drop all Tinkerer's Daemons in them.
- tweak: Clockwork Caches can now only generate a component every 30 seconds(when
near a clockwork wall), Clockwork Slabs can only generate a component every
40 seconds, and Tinkerer's Daemons can only generate a component every 20 seconds.
This should result in higher component generation for everything except Clockwork
Caches near clockwork walls.
- tweak: Adding a component to a Clockwork Slab instead puts that component in the
global component cache.
- tweak: Clockwork Slabs only generate components if held by a mob or in a mob's
storage, and when generating a component will prevent other Slabs held from
generating a component.
- tweak: The Replicant Driver no longer costs a Replicant Alloy to invoke; basically
you can throw free Slabs at converts.
- rscdel: Clockwork Slabs no longer have Repository as a menu option; instead, you
can examine them to see how many components they have access to.
- rscdel: Clockwork Caches directly on top of clockwork walls won't generate components
from that wall.
Lzimann:
- rscadd: Bar stools are now constructable with metal!
coiax:
- rscadd: Ghosts are notified when someone arrives on the Arrivals Shuttle. This
is independent of the announcement system, and the (F) link will follow the

forms.
kevinz000:
- bugfix: Malf AI hacking an APC that is then destroyed will no longer bug the AI

spear if they remain conscious after being attacked.
- tweak: The Function Call verb is now an action button.
Xhuis:
- rscdel: While experimenting with floral genetic engineering, Nanotrasen botanists

- rscadd: Sigils of any type can be attacked with an open hand to destroy them,
instead of requiring harm intent. Servants still require harm intent to do so.
Lati:
- rscadd: Nanotrasen has added one of their rare machine prototypes to cargo's selection.
It might be valuable to research.
Xhuis:
- rscadd: You can now create living cake/cat hybrids through a slightly expensive
crafting recipe. These "caks" are remarkably resilient, quickly regenerating
any brute damage dealt, and can be attacked on harm intent to take a bite to
be fed by a small amount. They serve as mobile sources of food and make great
pets.
- rscadd: If a brain occupied by a player is used in the crafting recipe for caks,
that player then takes control of the cak!
2016-06-14:
Joan:
- tweak: The Gateway to the Celestial Derelict now takes exactly 5 minutes to successfully
summon Ratvar and has 500 health, from 1000.
- rscadd: You can now actually hit people adjacent to the Gateway; only the center
of the Gateway can be attacked. The Gateway is also now dense, allowing you
to more easily shoot at it.
- rscadd: All Scripture in the Clockwork Slab's recital has a simple description.
Razharas:
- rscadd: Wiki now has the method of cultivating kudzu vines that was in game for
over a year. https://tgstation13.org/wiki/Guide_to_hydroponics#Kudzu
kevinz000:
- tweak: Gravity Guns should no longer destroy local reality when set to attract
and shot in an east cardinal direction. Added safety checks has slightly increased
the cost of the gun's fabrication. Nanotrasen apologizes for the inconvenience.
- bugfix: Gravity guns now have an inhand sprite.
2016-06-16:
GunHog:
- rscadd: In response to alarmingly high mining cyborg losses, Nanotrasen has equipped
the units with an internal positioning beacon, as standard within the module.
Joan:
- rscadd: You can now strike a Tinkerer's Cache with a Clockwork Proselytizer to
refill the Proselytizer from the global component cache.
- tweak: The Clockwork Proselytizer requires slightly less alloy to convert windows
and windoors.
- tweak: Several clockwork objects have more useful descriptions, most notably including
structures, which will show a general health level to non-servants and exact
health to servants.
- imageadd: The Clockwork Proselytizer has new, more appropriate inhands.
- tweak: Invoking Inath-Neq, the Resonant Cogwheel, now gives total invulnerability
to all servants in range for 15 seconds instead of buffing maximum health.
- tweak: Impaling a target with a ratvarian spear no longer breaks the spear.
- tweak: Judicial Markers(the things spawned from Ratvar's Flame, in turn spawned
from a Judicial Visor) explode one second faster.
- rscdel: Removed Dementia Doctrine, replacing it with an Application sigil.
- rscadd: Adds the Sigil of Accession, the previously-mentioned Application sigil,
which is much like a Sigil of Submission, except it isn't removed on converting
un-mindshielded targets and will disappear after converting a mindshielded target.
- tweak: Sigil of Submission is now a Script instead of a Driver; It's unlocked
one tier up, so you have to rely on the Drivers you have until you get Scripts,
instead of spamming both Driver sigils for free converts.
- rscadd: To replace Sigil of Submission in the Driver tier; Added Taunting Tirade,
which is a chanted scripture with a very fast invocation, which, on chanting,
confuses, dizzies, and briefly stuns nearby non-servants and allows the invoker
a brief time to relocate before continuing the chant.
- rscadd: Ghosts can now see the Gateway to the Celestial Derelict's remaining time
as a countdown.
- tweak: Anima Fragments are now slightly slower if not at maximum health and no
longer drop a soul vessel when destroyed.

Adding a soul vessel to one will produce a small, drone-like being with an inbuilt
proselytizer and tools.
- imageadd: Clockwork mobs have their own speechbubble icons.
- tweak: Invoking Sevtug now causes massive hallucinations, brain damage, confusion,
and dizziness for all non-servant humans on the same zlevel as the invoker.
- rscdel: Invoking Sevtug is no longer mind control. RIP mind control 2016-2016.
- tweak: Clockwork slabs now produce a component every 50 seconds, from 40, Tinkerer's
Caches now produce(if near a clockwork wall) a component every 35 seconds, from
30.
- experiment: 'Tinkerer''s daemons have a slightly higher cooldown for each component
of the type they chose to produce that''s already in the cache: This is very
slight, but it''ll add up if you have a lot of one component type and are trying
to get more of it with daemons; 5 of a component type will add a second of delay.'
Kor and Iamgoofball:
- rscadd: Miners can now purchase fulton extraction packs.
- rscadd: Miners can now purchase fulton medivac packs.
- rscadd: Two new fulton related bundles are available for purchase with vouchers.
Quiltyquilty:
- rscadd: Beepsky now has his own home in the labor shuttle room.
Wizard's Federation:
- bugfix: We've fired the old Pope, who was actually an apprentice in disguise.
We've a-pope-riately replaced him with a much more experienced magic user.
- rscadd: Some less-then-sane people have been sighted forming mysterious cults
in lieu of recent Pope sightings, lashing out at anyone who speaks ill of him.
- bugfix: We've rejiggered our trans-dimensional rifts, and almost all cases of
clergy members being flung into nothingness should be resolved.
- bugfix: All members of the Space Wizard's Clergy have been appropriately warned
about usage of skin-to-stone spells, and such there should be no more instances
of permanent statueification.
Xhuis:
- tweak: Revenants have been renamed to umbras and have undergone some tweaks.
coiax:

incoming5643:
- experiment: New abilities for some races!
- rscadd: Skeletons (liches) and zombies now are much more susceptible to limb loss,
but can also reattach lost limbs manually without surgery.
- rscadd: Slimepeople can now lose their limbs, but also can regenerate them if
they have the jelly for it. Additionally slimepeople will (involuntarily) lose
limbs and convert them to slime jelly if they're extremely low on jelly.
- rscadd: Zombies and slimepeople now have reversed toxic damage, what usually heals
now hurts and what usually hurts now heals. Keep in mind that while you could
for example heal with unstable mutagen, you'd still mutate. Beware of secondary
effects! Drugs like antitoxin are especially dangerous to these races now since
not only do they do toxin damage, but they remove other toxic chems before they
can heal you. Be wary also of wide band healing drugs like omnizine.
- rscadd: For slime people the above mechanic also adds/drains slime jelly. So yes
inhaling plasma is now a valid way to build jelly (but you'll still suffocate
if there's no oxygen).
- rscadd: Pod people now mutate if shot with the mutation setting of the floral
somatoray.
2016-06-22:
Cheridan:

causing them to become confused and unequip their current module.
Joan:
- rscdel: Those who do not serve Ratvar cannot understand His creations.
- rscadd: You can now repair clockwork structures with a clockwork proselytizer.
This is about a third as efficient as a mending motor, costing 2 liquified alloy
to 1 health, and also about a third as fast.
- tweak: Scarab proselytizers are more efficient and will reap more alloy from metal
and plasteel.
- rscadd: They can also directly convert rods to alloy.
- tweak: Nuclear bombs will no longer explode the station if in space. Please be
aware of this.
Kor:
- rscadd: You can now pick up potted plants.
PKPenguin321:
- rscadd: You can now pick up a skateboard and use it as a weapon by dragging it
to yourself.

invoker.
- rscdel: Clockwork floors now only heal toxin damage on servants of Ratvar.

coiax:
- rscadd: Changelings now evolve powers via the cellular emporium, which they can
access via an action button.
- rscadd: Due to budget cuts, the shuttle's hyperspace engines now create a visual
distortion at their destination, a few seconds before arrival. Crewmembers are
encouraged to use these "ripples" as an indication of where not to stand.
- bugfix: Shuttles now only run over mobs in turfs they are moving into, rather
than the entire rectangle.
- rscadd: If you are an observer, you can click on transition edges of a Z-level
in order to move as a mob would.
- rscadd: Due to safety concerns, the Hyperfractal Gigashuttle now has some safety
grilles to prevent accidental matter energising.
coiax, incoming:

removed.
- rscadd: All removed structures are now space ruins, and can be placed randomly
in space ruin zlevels.

landmarks near it. Its starting position will be made more random in a coming
update.
- rscadd: The Space Bar has a small atmos system added and a teleporter. Some other
ruins have been cleaned up to not have atmos active turfs.
2016-06-24:
Joan:
- experiment: The Interdiction Lens has been reworked; instead of allowing you to
disable Telecomms, Cameras, or non-Servant Cyborgs, it drains power from all
APCs, SMES units, and non-Servant cyborgs in a relatively large area, funneling
that power into nearby Sigils of Transmission, then disables all cameras and
radios in that same area.
- wip: If it fails to find anything it could disable or drain any power, it turns
off for 2 minutes.
- tweak: You can now target yourself with Sentinel's Compromise, allowing you to
heal yourself with it.
- rscadd: Flashes will once again stun borgs, but for a much shorter time than they
previously did; average stun time is reduced from the previous average of 15
seconds to about 6 seconds. The confusion remains, but it will no longer unequip
borg modules.
MMMiracles:
- tweak: Metastation xenobiology's lights and cell have been modified so it won't
drain 5 minutes into the round.
SnipeDragon:
- bugfix: Changelings created at round start now correctly receive their Antag HUD.

Joan:
- rscadd: Fellowship Armory now invokes faster for each nearby servant and provides
clockwork gauntlets, which are shock-resistant and provide armor to the arms.

- bugfix: A full set of clockwork armor will now actually cover all limbs.
coiax:
- rscadd: Our administrators, here at /tg/, don't get enough credit for their wealth

Joan:
- rscdel: Clockwork Marauders are no longer totally invincible to damage unless
a holy weapon was involved.
- rscadd: Clockwork Marauders will take damage when attacked, but unless they're
fighting excessive amounts, they'll be forced to return to their host before
they'd normally die.
- experiment: A holy weapon held in either hand in the presence of a marauder will
massively increase the damage they take, making it much more likely the marauder
can be killed.
- tweak: Clockwork Marauders do slightly less damage at low fatigue levels.
- rscadd: Clockwork Marauders now have a chance to block melee attacks, negating
the damage from them, and an additional chance to immediately counter, attacking
whoever tried to attack them.
- wip: If Ratvar has awoken, Marauders have a much higher chance to block and counter,
will block thrown items and projectiles, and gradually regenerate.

body to swap to
- rscadd: Slimepeople swapping consciousness between bodies is now visible to onlookers
