Clay Golem Kit: Create your own golems! Similar to ones a wizard produce, though they stronger, faster, more durable, and contain no reagents.
The kit itself comes with three globs of clay, a pen, two handheld paper dispensers filled with magic paper, and a book filled with a list of valid commands for the golem.
How the golem works:
1. Add water.
2. Click wet clay with hand while in hand, stand around for a while. Wherever you create the golem is considered "Home" to that golem.
3. Take magic piece of paper and write a command on it. Acceptable commands would be a verb placed with a noun, like "Defend Pubbie McChaplain" or "GoTo Home" or "Kill Steve Dyssal".
4. Insert command paper into golem's mouth.
5. Watch him go nuts.
Commands:
In order for a golem to perform an action it needs a command, which must consist of a valid verb and noun.
Valid verbs: Defend, GoTo, Kill.
Valid nouns: The proper name of any location (restricted to station and mining z-levels), the name of anybody on the station (also restricted to station and mining z-levels, and disguises work against it was well).
If a a golem is given an invalid command they will spit out a blank piece of paper, whether it's because you used an invalid verb/noun, an invalid verb/noun combination, spelled something incorrectly, sent the golem to somebody who is dead/disguised/on the mystery z-level.
You can put more than one command on a piece of paper, so long as they are separated by a semi-colon. This would look like "Kill Steve Dyssal; GoTo Home".
Golem Behavior:
Golems with a job only think of one thing, that being that job. If a golem is told to "GoTo Bar" they don't care if Pubbie McDweeb is attacking them with a fire extinguisher, they do not care that the chaplain who created them is getting the shit kicked out of them, they only care about getting to the bar and awaiting further instructions.
That being said, their single-mindedness is useful. They can pry open doors to reach their objective (anything higher than maint-level requires this), can bust open windows and grilles, and can even bust through standard walls given enough time. And any job they are given they perform ferociously, beating the ever-loving shit out of whoever they are sent to kill, or mercilessly attacking anyone who enters an area they are defending or attacks someone they are defending.
Also, if a golem sustains damage, 50% of said damage can be fixed with a welder, meaning golems will eventually break if they are beat up enough even with repairs, so command them carefully. However, that being said, they are very durable, and won't go down easily.
