New Construction Mode tool: the Critter Generator! - MaRcuSTheDAWG - 04-29-2015

This is a new item that can be transported by using a remote, It can spawn any critter in the game, and you can also config the critters to be friendly/hostile. Critter Generators are basically a way to make a survival challenge in construction mode. It allows you to add life to your constructions and you can make more bee-related things. Because bees are awesome and cool. The Critter Generator will tweak invulnerable critters to make them vulnerable. It shares the same sprite as the Porta-Brig. You can also name the critters and set how many critters are spawned. This would only appear in Construction Mode.

Idea itself-

I like the idea in theory but it's too easly abuse-able. Someone could make a bunch of Gib-sharks in the construction server making it impossible to get anything done



(Everyone else can ignore this) Serious time-
This needs to be said. I bet your a great person Marcus but WHAT is your obsession with bots/critters,nearly every post you have is about some kind of robot or critter (which i mostly think you use so people don't yell at you for you obession about bots). i don't want to compromise who you are or tell you who you HAVE to be but can you slow down on the robots/critter ideas, it's starting to make the community creeped out by your obsessions. I am sorry if that hurt your feelings in any way but i felt like i had to say it

There's a limit to whatever critters are more powerful, for example, you can only generate ONE Gibshark.

I beg to differ. You're a nice person and all, but it seems like every single post you make on this forum is always about critters or robots. Please consider Spyguys words here.

Quote:Here's a recommendation for you before you post your idea here.

Think it through

What does this mean in practise? Let's say you figure you just came up with the greatest, most hilarious idea ever and "wouldn't it be funny if it was in SS13" you say to yourself. Good going. Now write that down somewhere. Not here, do not post your idea yet.

I want you to drop the idea safely where you wrote it down, maybe ponder a few things about it.

Let it sit for a few hours, ideally even sleep on it.

Then come back to your idea, read it.

Still a great idea? Post away!

If not, then feel free to not post your idea here. Chances are it wouldn't have held up to scrutiny anyway.
Hopefully this will get rid of the kinda low-effort ideas that make us all roll our eyes and won't get implemented anyway from cluttering this forum, so that genuinely good ideas will be easier to pick out.

This is how SS13 turns into My Pet Dungeon from DK2.

If critters could fight eachother (which some of them can) I have a feeling someone's just gonna set up a cockfighting pokemon battle ring.

Go spacebear, attack rabid mouse use jaws of death.

I was saved from a zombie attack by martians.

True story.

This is only meant for construction mode, people, not the actual station.

It still is pretty annoying.

In-game I don't beg in adminhelp, anyways. I never really adminhelp.

Talking about you constant Critter and Bot posting. Not about what you used to do but what you are still doing. It's weird man and people here have asked you to tone it down nicely.

I just have a bad reputation, some of these ideas might be really good once you ignore the fact I obsess over bots.


Re: New Construction Mode tool: the Critter Generator! - Frank_Stein - 04-30-2015

I don't think people would mind it as much if you just kept all your critter and bots posts in one thread, instead of making a bunch of new ones and bringing it up in others.

Anyhoo, I think maybe instead of a critter machine, you could order critter crates and there was a separate item for pacifying and training them.

It's meant for construction mode, the mode where you build things. That mode.
