Tone down farting

[Kotlol]

I remember talk of an emote volume option for things like farting and burping being tossed around a while ago, did that ever get implemented?

it did, there's an emote volume option under the audio tab at the top left!


otherwise, applying emote cooldown for F seems sort of reasonable at least to help with message spam for it? i cant imagine anything beyond that though; even though I hate emote sounds, I just play without them on since I think the flavor of humor is particular to goon and not likely to go away any time

I see no problems with a cooldown, alot of emotes have a cooldown like flipping, dancing and such.

Though some that are just text based are spammable still...
With one of my favorite being:
"Selena James raises her Eyebrow" x30 (Someone is being suspicious)

Even burping has a cooldown.

But as I said before.. Farting has a mechanical element to it. It's not "JUST" an emote, it actually DOES something in game.
It releases "farts" and methane or sometime plasma. Wich you can condense and use for gas.
It gives reactions to charaters... it lowers your cleanliness bar... 
And then a cooldown isn't bad, but at the same time... You are NERFING strategies that include farting to get things done in game.

As someone pointed out... It will indirectly nerf Hell Burns of engines cause the engineers can fart WAY LESS then before. Thus slowing their fart collecting methodes much slower.

Also fart cooldowns will nerf effects like Fartonium and Fart gas from Buttcrabs and eggs that force you to fart (unless they are spared from this wich I hope it does)

So maybe give another way to do "annoying chain farts" by introducing a new mechanic... like I don't know? Laxatives? If you take them you will start farting uncontrollably... wich can be used by engineers, but at the same time be used for fart poisoning by an antagonist wich is funny.

The willing spam will dissappear, thus nullifying the annoyance, but those who want to fart uncontrollably need to do a little effort for it then spamming F.
