Thugstructions (AKA More Improvised Items Suggestion)

[Xenonia]

This idea came to me because of the new Zip Gun, drug den, and the recent update of the "Constructions" wiki page: I came up with a few more "grunge" item ideas, and believe that they'd fit in pretty well.

Prison Shiv: Glass + Paper + Cable Piece, (Use glass on paper to wrap it in the paper, and the cable on that to bind it), should do damage approximate to the razor blade, and be able to be used to shave people. Maybe let it do bleed damage?

Tattoo Gun: Zip Gun + Pen (Put pen in zip gun as if it were ammo). Also with this, Add tattoos! Could be something as simple as a mustache tattoo or a picture of a clown on your chest. Whatever anyone is willing to sprite.

Auto-Injector: Syringe + Cable + Energy Cell (Wire cable around syringe, attach to energy cell). Works like a one-use hypospray, can only carry five units, but can include poisons.

Also, using a shard of glass (or shiv if implemented) on an orange jumpsuit should cut off it's sleeves, to show off rad tats from the tattoo gun, or allow easier injection of meth.

If someone would be willing to sprite these things, that would be amazing, or I could make some (likely poor quality ones) myself.

I'd be willing to sprite these things when I get back from holidays.
I'd also like to see more haircuts that are unique specifically to hairdressing to encourage bad-assery to go with sick tats.
Tattoo gun should work just like haircut, they should be sitting on a chair when doing it.

What about a crack pipe? hit a syringe with a weldingtool to knock the ends off of it. Can hold 15 units of reagents, when heated and placed in your internals slot, acts like a joint, slowly adding the reagents into your bloodstream.

Eh. Crack pipes aren't very funny.

Garrote: Metal rods+cable coil

A garrote is a weapon made out of chain, rope, wire, or fishing line that is used to strangle a person. Of course, we have none of those items on station, so you'd have to use cable coil as your garrote and metal rods as your hands. The way it'd work is that when you click on someone with it, it'd instantly get them in a Disarm stranglehold, and after 2 seconds, they'd fall down. Of course, they can resist by clicking resist and get out of the stranglehold.

Hidden blade: Wirecutters+Black gloves+Welder+Metal rods

Using a welder to sharpen a metal rod and some wire cutters to cut the fingers off gloves, allowing you to place the sharpened metal rod into one of the finger holes. Use an emote to draw the rod out and stabsy-doodle a guy. Causes bleeding damage.

No but they're be useful for smoking fat meth rocks. I actually think we should have a whole new vending machine that sells tobacco with corncob, wood and glass pipes that you can load plants and drugs into. But that's an idea for another thread I guess.

Anyway most of those items are good but what's stopping me from making two or three auto-injectors and loading someone up with my super dangerous chems? Other than that I see no problems.

All jumpsuits should have cuttable sleeves, imo. On the topic, regular jumpsuits should be able to be ~unzipped~ and have a black or white undershirt underneath.

Also, molotov cocktails (welding fuel in bottle + paper) equals shitty incendiary grenade. Lit like a cigarette, thrown and exploded like a grenade.

Shitty = 2x2, welder and has a 2-4 second (rng) explosion

Nothing's stopping you. Maybe it requires some other shit too so that it's just inconvenient. Much like erebite pipe bombs.

The tattoo thing might be easier to make if it just lets you choose a body part and text.
That way you can tattoo anything anywhere. It could show up at the bottom of the examine list like this
Rude Dude has a tattoo on his arm: A lion weight lifting with the words "Do you even lift" written underneath.
That way imagination could flow free and people can be original and cool with their tattoos that express their struggle in life

If we're going to be able to get tattoos, I vote we also get the ability to cut the sleeves off certain uniforms.

Would be p funny if security officers opted to cut their sec uniform sleeves off, and walk around brig drinking beer and discussing football. and/or steal a prisoner's tat gun to give themselves barbwire tats.

Also shivs should work like razerblades in that buckling someone on a chair/bed/whatever lets you shave their hair off (with some level of brute damage because the blade isn't as sharp) Come into brig a gentlemen and come out with tats, a sleeveless prison uniform, and a mohawk and a sudden need for cat drugs.

Gang rounds could be especially fun.

Maybe but there'd still need to be at least a few placeholder sprites.

Tattoos would be fun in theory, but I think it'd be pretty tough to get anything legible to fit onto a body part on the mob sprite. Arms are only about three or four pixels wide. At best I can sorta maybe see a splotch of color and a modified description upon Examine for the player working, maybe.
This is Jay Wolff! He has a pretty haggard tattoo of a skull.

Maybe, depending on the number of tattoos, the amount of splotches increases until it completely covers the bodypart, like injuries.
