Random Little Things

[McDogles]

Starting this page so that people (Namely me) will stop creating new pages every time they think of a small suggestion. Post your little ideas here!

My small idea: We should rename crystal glass to plasma glass, since not really much "crystal" is involved in the production of the stuff, it is mostly made out of plasma stone, and it's purple, the color of plasma (Or at lest the plasma around here).
Also, speaking of glass, it drives me crazy that to fix one window, you have to unscrew or cut the grill (If its electrified and you don't have insulated gloves, you're out of luck), move into where the grill was and make a glass pain, rotate said pain so it's out of the way, put the grill back into place, rotate the glass again so its facing the right way, and then finally securing it into place. Can't it be so that if you use glass sheets on a grill, it automatically puts a glass pain on the same tile as the grill, and secures it into place, facing towards the person who placed it? I think that it would save time, and with this ability you could easily swap out normal glass for reinforced glass.

on the subject of glass

how bout getting rid of the useless cluttering broken lightbulb object and just have smashed fixtures drop a glass shard when you pull the broke bulb out? can at least recycle it that way, or smash a light if you're in desperate need of a sharp weapon or insulator

[Conor12]

I am pretty sure that using glass on a grille will place a full window over it.

[McDogles]

Two things: One, great idea Mozi, that might make people not just leave broken light tubes ever where.
Two: Another idea I have is that we should have the ability to unload guns, and not just by shooting them into a wall. Perhaps just right clicking on them in your hand will give you the option to unload them so you don't waste ammo switching out your revolver's bullets for AP bullets.

[McDogles]

Also, just another side idea to go along with unloading, you should be able to make sawn-off shotguns, by first unloading it and cutting it with a circular-saw (Or if you didn't unload it first, it would go off in your face). With the now much smaller shotgun, you would be able to put it in exosuits (I.E. trench coats and lab coats), much like a derringer, and pull it out at any moment with *wink. With this, I can just imagine scientists and doctors getting into all sorts of fun situations with spacker 12's and riot shotguns.

Yes. Yes. Yes. I love it. The unloading idea and the sawnoff idea.

This is a cool idea. But it should make spacker 12's and riot shotguns now 2-shot instead of whatever it is. Because sawn-offs are normally 2 shot.

In video game logic yes but in real life people cut off the ends of pump actions now. They don't make them AS small but less so.

Sawn-offs.
My gripe with this is that it's pretty much has far many advantages over derringers, bar the fact it can only be hidden in exosuits.
My suggestions for this is that it weakens the shotgun (it still floors you though), the drop-off is significant, and has two shots. This way it's unique from the derringer and shotgun, it a new different weapon.


Also, after reading the wiki about doing something with brains for braindeads (i.e: Nothing), and that bodies can be properly stored now, I was thinking about a brain vat.
Beaker+formaldehyde+proximity sensor+wire= brain vat.
Brainvat is something that roboticists make. Put what you think may be a braindead into the vat and leave it there, with a red light on when user is gone, green light if they are back. If a user logs back on, they will be able to speak and see whilst in the vat like "GOOD FUCK WHY AM I IN A VAT", but not be able to do anything. The vat can be dragged around like a bot, and the brain can be ejected and put into a fresh borg or corpse and activated/cloned. Or just left in the vat, if the user wishes to because some people can be weird like that. Hats can be put on the vat.

Sawn-offs.

Sundance, why are you so awesome? As for your suggestion with balancing, I think that they would be fairly balanced, because you need access to a circular saw to make them, and ordering a Spacker costs a huge price of 8 telecrystals, but I DO think that they should do less damage when sawn-off.

I love this idea. I think it would be great to have some talking brains in jars and the fact that it tells you when and if they become unbraindead is great, also it should make the jar melt the brain if a person is job banned from borg just so people don't blow up the borg bodies every time a jobbanned person gets borgged. That shit sucks.

Let us stick vats on dead bodies and borgs!

Also someone could totally do a gimmick where they try to fill the escape shuttle with as many brain jars as possible.

In addition to jokingly putting one in bar and threatening to use the brain jar as a pickle jar.

Hey look, a new awful suggestion from me: Add a mutation called "Big Feet".
It would make you unable to wear normal shoes, since your feet are so big, but you can still wear large shoes, namely clown shoes. Right now, when you wear the clown shoes you will constantly fall flat on your face, stunning you for a brief amount of time, but if you have the big feet mutation, this wouldn't happen, giving clowns the ability to run away from crap without having to worry about tripping.

Cutting a hulk's butt off should yield a green butt. Also butts on your head should look like their actual color.
