2015-10-06:
Gun Hog, for WJohnston:
- rscadd: 'Add new Xenomorph caste: The Praetorian. Drones may become this on their
way to growing into a full queen, and a queen may promote one if there is not
one already.'

they are considered royals.
- tweak: Queens are now significantly tougher to make up for their huge size.
- bugfix: All forms of dead xenomorph may now be grabbed and placed on a surgery
table for organ harvesting!
Xhuis:
- rscadd: Maintenance drones now have a more descriptive message when examined.
- tweak: A recent Nanotrasen firmware update to drones has increased vulnerability
to foreign influences. Please periodically check drones for abnormal behavior
or status LED malfunction. Note, however, that cryptographic sequencers will
not incur this behavior.
- tweak: In response to complaints about rogue drones, Nanotrasen engineers have
allowed factory resets on all drones by simply using a wrench.
- experiment: Central Command reminds drones to immediately retreat, if possible,
when a law override is begun. Not doing so may anger the gods and incur their
wrath!
- rscadd: Some virus symptoms that had no messages now have them.
- rscadd: 'New virology symptom: Weakness. This will cause stamina damage and fainting
spells.'
- tweak: Many virus symptom messages have been changed to be more threatening.

Gun Hog:
- rscadd: Nanotrasen's research team has released a new, high tech design for Science
Goggles, which previously did nothing! They new come fitted with a portable
scanning module which will display the potential research data gained from experimenting
with an object. Nanotrasen has also released drivers which shall enable the
prototype hardsuit's built in scan visor.
- rscadd: Supporting this new design, Nanotrasen has seen fit to provide blueprints
for Science Goggles to the station's protolathe.
Kor:

will have to use a pen to convert them afterwards.

the detectives hat.
- sounddel: When Nar-Sie is created, they now use the old sound effect.

wearing the suit as well as complete biological protection to airborne and similar
pathogens.

office. This Hardsuit is slightly more armored than the regular Security Hardsuit.
- rscadd: The Research Directors 'Prototype Hardsuit' has been added to the RD's
office. This Hardsuit offers the highest levels of protection against explosive,
as well as biological, attacks, as well as fireproofing.

and reloacted to another space station.
Xhuis:
- rscdel: All instances of autorifles have been removed from Security.
- rscadd: The armory has been re-mapped.

but most spells cost two uses. Some underused spells, like Blind, Smoke, and
Forcewall, only cost a single use.

space, more secrets have been uncovered of their traditional fighting techniques.
- tweak: Members of the Sleeping Carp gang are now able to deflect all ranged projectiles.
- tweak: Members of the Sleeping Carp gang are now uanble to use any type of ranged
weaponry. Doing so would be dishonorable.

2015-10-16:

also prevent another byond ad from playing during reconnections.
Xhuis:
- rscadd: A gamebreaking bug has been fixed with buckets. You can now wear them
on your head.
bgobandit:
- rscadd: The Grape Growers Consortium has complained that Nanotrasen kitchens do
not use their products enough. HQ has come up with a few recipes to pacify them.
Goddamn winos.
2015-10-19:
AnturK:
- rscadd: Handheld T-Ray Scanners now detect critters in pipes.
Kor:
- tweak: Weapons and projectiles that are armour piercing now have an increased
chance to bypass riot shields.
- tweak: Slipping on lube now deals slightly more damage, but is concentrated on
a random body part, rather than spread to your entire body.
- tweak: Slipping on water no longer deals damage
- rscadd: You can now attach grenades and C4 to spears to create explosive lances.
This is done via table crafting. Alt+click the spear to set a war cry.
Shadowlight213:
- rscadd: In response to reports of stranded drones, Nanotrasen has added magnets
to drone legs. They are no longer affected by lack of gravity or spacewind!
- bugfix: Drones can now set Airlock access on RCDs.

space station accumulates gibs, scoop 'em up and bring them to chemistry to
recycle into soap, candles, or even delicious meat product!
- rscadd: L3 biohazard closets now contain bio-bag satchels for the safe collection
of biowaste products, such as slime extracts.

glass) is now done by clicking them, similar to spray. Reagent dispensers (watertank,
fueltank, pepperspray dispenser) no longer have their own transfer amounts and
use the reagent container's transfer amount instead (except for sprays which
get 50u for faster refilling).
2015-10-23:
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
you, not how long you've been drinking. This means drinking very little but
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:
Incoming5643:
- rscadd: The spell Charge has been added to the spellbook. It can be used to extend
the life of magic and energy weapons and even reset the cooldowns of held wizards!
It cannot reset your own cooldowns.
- rscadd: The Staff of Healing has been added to the spellbook. Heals all damage
and raises the dead! Can't be used on yourself however.
- bugfix: The exploit that allowed you to use the staff of healing on yourself by
suicide has been fixed.
Jordie0608:
- rscadd: You can now selectively mute non-admin players from OOC with the Ignore
verb in the OOC tab.
Tkdrg:
- rscadd: Added chainsaws. They can be tablecrafted using a circular saw, a plasteel
sheet, some cable coil, and a welding tool. Don't forget to turn it on!
2015-10-26:
Fox P McCloud:
- 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.
Kor:
- rscadd: Added a zombie mob that turns its kills into more zombies. Currently adminspawn
and xenobio only.
- rscadd: Using water with a red slime extract will now yield a speed potion. Using
the speed potion on an item of clothing will paint it red and remove its slowdown.
MrStonedOne:
- rscadd: You may now access the setup character screen when not in the lobby via
the game preferences verb in the preferences tab
- rscadd: The round end restart delay can now be configured by server operators.
New servers will default to 90 seconds while old servers will default to the
old 25 seconds until they import the config option to their server.
2015-10-28:
Tkdrg:
- rscadd: Added a Ghost On-screen HUD. It can be toggled using the "Toggle Ghost
HUD" verb. Thank you Razharas for the sprites!
- rscadd: Ghosts can now use the "Toggle med/sec HUD" verb to see the basic secHUD
(jobs only) or the medHUD of humans.
- rscadd: Ghost will now get clickable icon alerts from events such as being put
in a cloner, drones being created, Nar-sie being summoned, among others. The
older chat messages were kept. These alerts can not be toggled.
2015-10-29:
Kor:
- tweak: Slightly changed what items spawn on the captain vs in his locker, hopefully
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
living body. Splitting only creates a new body, any items you have on you are
not duplicated.
- rscadd: Slimepeople now take half damage from sources of heat, but double damage
from sources of cold. Lasers good, Space bad.
