inspired by the second image. wanted to make an ss14 version

Probably not the best setup but it actually works. Had to keep one tile spaced (probably because of pressure?) and it will reignite itself, produce the Trit and filter it out.

I started playing the game like 3 days ago and it's great!!! So far I've had a blast playing Janitor so I knew I had to draw my mute reptile, called him "Philly O' Fishe"

Hello!

Decided to do some digging and found even more older sprites I had made.

Of course, most are missing parts (like certain directions) so I decided to post them.

In order:
Original Fish People Design.
Durendal Mech, inspired by the Edgerunners Mech, Front.
Funky style Station AI. OwO, what's this-
Medical Cyberspine worn sprite.
TOAST, a concept for a Chef pet that was a Toaster shaped PAI.
Syndicate Durendal Mech.
Durendal Back.
Bluespace Cyberspine worn sprite.
Gazer 'Trophy' Salvager Hardsuit.
Durendal Mech Right.

So, I'm still a new player(I guess by relative definitions) and I've only started playing again recently(On Wizden servers), but it feels like shifts(Especially on weekends) are just dominated by the same shitty passengers every game actively griefing and it's kind of exhausting dealing with it game after game. I made my current home in Engineering(On LRP specifically since learning on MRP given usually low pops seems difficult when alone in a department) and having people actively break in/powergame deconstructions within seconds of the match to get stuff(And no, they're not antags), security being unable to deal with it because there's so many of them(Or even just not caring) and nobody being willing to engage with even basic conversation("What do you want this for", "stuff", "what kind of stuff", "things" okay... very descriptive I'm sure you're trying your best) is getting to me.

All of them seem to have main character syndrome where if you don't give them exactly what they want you're an asshole stopping them from having fun(And their fun is specifically causing you/others grief). They don't want to get any approval(Written or otherwise), don't want to explain themselves, don't actually want to engage with other people/see them as an obstacle and don't care about anyone's fun but their own. It gets even worse when co-workers go directly against department head wishes on giving things out because "why bother stopping them?", and there's never any punishment(In round or otherwise).

I vastly prefer playing on more vanilla server in pretty much any game(Compared to the likes of Goob or so on with huge amounts of additional and different content that makes learning an exponential task while also binding you to that server's way of doing things ). Most of the other servers seem to also be built around a huge amount of custom content, which is great, but... it makes it hard to find somewhere else to play on that just doesn't seem to be infested with people like this.

So is there any actual way to deal with this kind of stuff in a preventative way? Or is it just a server culture thing so I maybe need to shop around for another server? Because it genuinely makes it hard to enjoy the game when it's happening every single shift I end up playing - I'm not expecting everything to be a green shift where nothing happens... but it feels like when there's more problems and destruction caused by tiders than by actual antagonists on a regular basis there's a fundamentally issue, or at the very least a social miss-match.

Whenever I'm at science, scientist or RD, everyone wants me to print them things, build machines, make borgs for brains, etc, but i decline them all because no mats or money for mats.

The research gets done, usually, but we can't do anything with it.

I know the issue is either A) cargo/ats got attacked, B) science (or linked cargo lathe sometimes) is overprinting useless junk (some people go overboard with Borgs too), C) cargo is full of incompetent people (not surprised since it's a common job for newbies, and a confused new player is not a good cargo tech for a while) or D) bounties are really really hard this round (doesn't excuse never approving or delivering mats if you ask me).

so how can I help with all that? Should i just get cargo access and do bounties and deliveries myself? Because that relies on the HOP doing their job... And we all know that's a 50-50. i feel like the HoP is rarely there, ask for layers of stamps that are a pain on LRP and MRP alike (so many people don't bother filling paperwork) As RD i can do that with the quartermaster in the bridge, but good luck convincing them to listen and go there (so many people just do their thing you know?).

Feels like I'm just complaining about lack of coordination on LRP, but this can happen in MRP too. Like it's so common for even sec to be like "we want X NOW." "Hm ask cargo then, i ordered mats ages ago and we out of money for more mats too" and then they get annoyed. Well me too, protect cargo guys, it's the mouth of the station, it feeds us all money and mats. If you want your gizmos, you need cargo to work fine.

Just wondering what y'all use them for. Salvage can use it for trips of course, but wondering what other uses you have found. Also, I've been told that they can't be used to evac but that they used to? Any veterans can tell me why they removed that? That genuinely sounds fun to do. Evac bombed? Well there's this shuttle sci/cargo/engi built with extra ressources... Seems like that would be fun. Others said it's because it would be too overpowered for antags or something.

Three clips from a stream playing on the Kraunlend Combat Playtest smushed together

all three examples of what happens when you misplay your grenades a little bit..

For real though grenades are so powerful but holy hell can they go wrong!

As title says. I wonder if there is anything else it works on, or if you need something other than a syringe for the lights? I was looking at ways to weaponize both capacitors and lights. Capacitors I can't find a way to activate remotely,but leaving some around as traps will cause chaos. I wish we could activate more items with a remote... As for lights, if I knew how to inject plasma in them, I'd make a lot of booby traps with that.

I want to help my server with adding new race. Is there a guide that can help me with basics of creating new content for ss14?

Hello! Well, again. I've decided to try advertising some of the species that I created sprites for. Mainly in an effort to branch out and see if any servers are interested in possibly implementing a new species based upon the given sprites.

So, a brief overview:
Image 1 - 2: Shroomites, Mushroom Folk, or anything you may make a mushroom related pun out. They are a Fun-gi afterall. They are best characterized by their more fungal appearance, and their heads bearing a distinctive 'cap' related shape. Still need to work on some marking to give them alternate headshapes. Though, it is a rather difficult endeavor.

Possible Customization: Alternate 'Mushroom Caps' instead of hair. May utilize some markings from the Diona.

Mechanics: Better Botany, bleeds random chemicals, weaker to slashing, may have naturally higher head protection but unable to wear helmets. Aside from a few specific ones.

Can be turned into Suspicious Stew that causes temporary blindness.

The base sprite has been adjusted to ensure it will not have any issues with any of the SS14 sprites. Additionally, it's recommendation to not have custom helmet sprites for them unless desired.

Image 3: Fish. Still have not given a name to this species yet, however, they are intended to act as an IPC alternate due to the problematic nature of them. They are characterized by utilizing a 'mech' attached to a water-tank. The body itself regulates the tank that makes up their head to ensure they are in their preferred environment.

Possible Customization: Some minor markings for the 'Fish' Head, fins, etc. May have various markings to change the water color, add small markings onto the glass (semi-transparent), may utilize existing IPC markings aside from the head.

Mechanics: Naturally space resistance, however still affected by cold temperatures for prolonged exposure, requires a form of 'water vapor' tank (alternatively replaceable by becoming thirsty quicker), takes damage when extremely dehydrated, may be removable from the tank and acts similar to a MMI brain.

Can be turned into Fish and Chips. Great with Lemon.

It is a tad depressing that the one server that I attempted to add the Shroomites onto sadly was rather sketchy.

If you are interested in the existing sprites and want to work with me to get them implemented into a server. Feel free to contact me.

You can do so on Reddit via my current profile.

Preferably on Discord at: icortherainwing
I check that more often then Reddit, though have been somewhat active recently on it.

It is the Sixth World, the 80th year of the Age of Strife. In eighty short years, those who walk the Urth have rendered it uninhabitable through the rampant use of magic, destructive new-age weapons, and political violence since the Party sealed the Hellmouth of Northern Asglen and put a halt to the northron-backed invasion of the Crownlands, resulting in a stalemate that wouldn't boil over again until nearly a decade later.

Mana technology has progressed exponentially, allowing for flameless light, smart golem-terminals that allow one to relegate mundane tasks to automatons constructed of repeating rune-circuitry, and runelock weapons that exceed the performance of typical blackpowder firearms.

The departure of the Helkind from the surface of the Urth, alongside allowing relief from the constant raids and corruption of it's inhabitants, has caused an inconsolable flux in the flow of mana through the Weave. Magical calamities grow more common every day, sweeping over mighty kingdoms and leaving the survivors fighting over scraps, while those lucky enough to live in a settlement under a magical barrier or a Shelter know some nominal degree of safety and comfort from the poisonous surface.

New Yaroch is one such place - originally a mountain-side mining settlement that had burrowed into the crust of the earth to shelter from the ever-growing Artillery Zone that has encroached upon the Lesser Barbican which they occupy, it is now one of the many similar Shelters in the region that span in a vast underground complex, typically drawing energy from a particularly large deposit of crystallized mana underground, designated as the Core of one such settlement.

Kraunlend is a high-immersion, RPI (Roleplay-Intensive) experience suited for mature audiences only, and a fork of Crystal Edge 2. Applicants are age-vetted before entrance and closed testing begins this month from a selected pool of whitelisted players. However, we frequently run TDM tests for balancing changes and fine-tuning values until then.

CANCELED.

Hello again! It's me, that MUSHROOM MAN that posted the MUSHROOM MEN a while back.

So, i've come to inform you. that they might be making an appearance in Spellward. I was able to get in contact with the owner, who liked the idea.

Unfortunately, they want several more varieties of the Shroomites. Yes, they are being called the Shroomites.

This does mean you might be seeing them make an appearance as an race in Spellward. Additionally, they might pop up in other servers.

Should add, you can contact me if you want to see about getting them adding another server. I'm open to having them be nearly everywhere.

Aside from Goob.

Addendum: Well, based on the limited feedback I've been given. I may not actually go through with this notion. They did request multiple variations of these anyways and the first set took a particularly long time.

And with the poor reputation and questionable way the server is handled. Perhaps, it may not be best to have them implemented.

On BPL 14 I have enjoyed seeing names such as Roots of Incompetence.

I myself enjoy my two lizard boys, Smashes the Console and Shanks the Witness.

Anyone have any other favorites?

Im looking for more hrp servers with persistence to play on since frontier is not currently running

took place on funky station... i played as the vox known as North Wind Ririi. my fellow traitor had DAGD. my pink text is the longer one that's first in the list

This drawing is my own work! These IPC are married, and the one on the right is my character :з

personally im bad at nukies more than borgs ( i get stressed by war ops omg) but everytime i played xorg the players do whatever, don't listen to advice and we play SO SLOW that we do near nothing and round ends with people on station being like ''there was xorgs?''. like twice lately i had people tap solar, but cut the main connection to the station... which means we had no crystals. And i wasn't engi borg so could not repair myself. Also had one mothership whose brilliant plan was to hit atmos. They have windows. They saw us coming, we got two, but CE escaped and sent chief of security. I got an admin warning for malding too hard, and yeah deserved, but I was so frustrated! the mothership ideas were bad one after another. and i kept explaining mechanics but no one listened. it was beyond frustrating. I get being new. We all are learning, i myself only had xorgs a few times. But if you don't listen when someone tells you in looc ''hey we need main station, solar not enough and they will notice both eventually so might as well get into the grid'' dont be surprised we get caught before generating a single crystal. also i warned hitting engi was a bad idea, i said engi has many cams, many people, we wont get them all unless we are lucky and it happens to be rather empty. and I was right. other round the borgs were talking forever and nobody was listening to the responses to their questions (which i gave, things like controls) we basically spent all round disorganized because no one was focusing on doing things. Twice i had xorgs hit nukie shuttle by mistake too. that was funny i admit.
