Changelog

This page lists changes to the game that have been added over time. It is user run and not automated, therefore there will be delays between the update itself and the update to the changelog.

Dates may not be entirely accurate and some changes may be included under dates that happened within a few days of the update.

Dates are listed in the format of YYYY-MM-DD.

Map swaps are not included here as they happen weekly, and would unnecessarily increase the length of this page.

2023-06-02

  • More conversion to TypeScript (for proper code completion, in-editor error line thingies, autodocs etc.), mostly for the core files
  • Unit tests for some of the Core Files so if some of those are touched in the future, tests can be run to test out if those functions still works or output the expected things on specific input
  • The "Kitchen Sink" has had it's pages updated (build tgui with 'yarn tgui:build' to get the development bundle and get a nice button to see it)
  • Components synced with TG (due to general improvements and new features like a bit more fixed scrolling, etc., some UIs that are always visible like the vorepanel no longer have that "eye" icon)

2023-05-28

• Added a new category of uniform selectors to the loadout menu, which includes all the valid, role-restricted uniforms for a role under a single option. The intent of this is to provide easier selection of job uniforms in what is now an increasingly bloated loadout list. They also include many of the uniforms added last week.
• Added a new "Explain Custom Traits" verbs in the abilities tab. This opens up a list of traits that your character has and a description of each, and some tips on how to use them where it's relevant. These can either appear in a TGUI window, or be printed straight to the chat window.

• Added some missing license headers.

2023-05-21

• Added a new global preference (defaults to disabled) that makes it so any TGUI text input will not auto-submit when you hit enter. If this is enabled, you will be able to use linebreaks in TGUI text boxes, but will have to mouse click submit. You can swap between this at any time in character setup and it will instantly apply.
• Added a new Global Vore Privacy preference. If set to private, it will change the range of messages that show up when putting someone into a belly or expelling them from anyone that can see your sprite to subtle range.
• Added a new Toggle Vore Privacy setting in the vore panel options tab, that allows you to override your global vore privacy setting on a per belly basis.
• Added new privacy and bleeding controls to the bloodsucker trait. The previous behaviour is the default and this must be configured each round. To change this, you simply use the bite ability on yourself, which brings up a list of options.
  • You can use these options to set the default behaviour for every time you use the ability between always loud or subtle, have a pop up window every time you use it or change it to be dependant on your intent. If you choose intents or pop, your options will be as follows:
  • HELP - Loud, No Bleeding

• Added a long snout marking.
• Added a set of pizza delivery uniforms (and visors) to cargo on Rascal's Pass in place of one of the cargo technician lockers in the cargo storage room.

• Fixed an issue causing major game lag when trying to repair a mech with nanopaste. This fix also added feedback and made advanced nanopaste more effective at repairing mechs.
• Fixed an issue with Rascal's Pass mapping that created an incorrectly assigned area, wooden floor, and floating console in cargo's storage room.

2023-05-11

• Mobs that retaliate upon being attacked now have a system to forgive their attacker: If they are at full health, they will cease attacking their retaliate target when the target rests, is weakened or stunned. Therefore, if you accidentally grab or disarm them, they will forgive you upon knocking you down or if you lay down yourself. However, if you've actually damaged them at all, or anyone else has, they will still attack to the death.
• Raptor borgs have been expanded to cover the full range of dogborg modules, they can be found under: Traumahound, Custodial Hound, Pupdozer, Service Hound (includes a V-4000 version that has a dumb tophat waistcoat and monocle on request.), Supply Hound.
• Added a new CSC Industrial Voidsuit, it is a slightly more resistant version of the engineering voidsuit that has an increased slowdown, and reduced atmospheric/temperature protection. It can be ordered from cargo as the Shipbreaker's Industrial Suit (inc. jetpack), and as it says, comes with a CSC industrial jetpack.
• Animal noms have been moved from the IC tab to the abilities tab.

2023-05-07

• Added three new bird themed markings: Secretary Bird Feathers, eye mask (anime eyes) and leg coverings (nev/rap).
• Added a whole bunch of body gloss markings that apply to individual body parts, allowing you to mix and match as suits you, rather than applying it to the full body only.
• Added a new tail called goat legs with tail, colorable.
• Examining the various tesla and singularity components (EB generator, field generator, grounding rod, tesla coil, emitter) will now report their anchored/welded states (as applicable) in text so that you don't have to figure it out by subtle changes to their sprites, by rubbing your face all over them, or by testing them with a wrench/welder.
• Added the shock maul to the list of weapons that mining drones ignore.
• Removed the visible emote from toggling AR hud to bring them in-line with other toggles.
• Removed duplicated Deathbell from the code, which was causing some issues that may have included getting twice as dizzy as intended.

2023-04-23

2023-04-20

• Adds a new emote with "*dook", which is a ferret dook.
• It is now possible to make one-way conveyor switches, this is done by wrenching it with it's service panel open.
• Small changes to the stun baton. It now turns off when dropped or otherwise released from the users hand. Fixes an issue that prevented them turning on below a certain charge level even when they had enough charge to be used.
• Cleaned up more instances of certain reinforced windows having massively inflated health pools. Mostly affected Tether Xenobiology wing, but applied to a couple other spots too.

2023-04-16

• Added a new weapon: The Concussion Maul. This heavy sledgehammer-like weapon must be wielded in two hands and charged up for maximum effectiveness, but can deal serious damage and send enemies flying with stunning force. It must be powered with weapon cells and only receives a very limited number of uses per cell. When charged, it can also be used to pulverize mineable rock walls and certain obstacles like grilles and barricades. It can rarely be found in abandoned crates. When used in disarm mode, charged hits gain additional knockback and stun duration. It can't inflict stun or knockback if used one-handed.
• Added two new chemicals based off of lipozine, but directly affecting your weight:
  • Lipozilase: Drains both your nutrition and your weight directly. Removes 3lb for every 1u under normal conditions. Has a 30u overdose. Made with lipozine and diethylamine.
  • Lipostipo: Drains your nutrition and increases your weight directly. Adds 3lb for every 1u under normal conditions. Has a 30u overdose. Made with lipozine, nutriment and fluorine.
• Autohiss can now be set to Full/Basic/None from the character menu, and by default, it is assumed Full. It will respect save/load and client connect/disconnect, meaning you no longer have to constantly toggle autohiss.
• Certain taur bodies now have a specific sitting (loafing) sprite for when using the rest verb.
• Adds the following taur suit sprites for wolftaurs and (original) nagas: Eng/Sec/Med Commonwealth, All departments of Talon/Refurb.
• Preferred Language can now be set. This allows a default spoken language other than Common to be set from spawn, allowing characters to simply join with the language they'd prefer speaking, rather than having to fiddle with "Set Default Language" every time they spawn.
• A new backend option has been added that allows simplemobs to be slowed down, or sped up, when injured. This is by default disabled but could be used in future for mobs made with it in mind.
• Allowed Raptor pAI to recolor 'eyes' (along with other coloured features of it's body).
• Adjustments to Rascal's Pass:
  • Fixed all instances of super-tough reinforced windows (mostly in xenobio I think) and restored them to normal health values like all the other r-windows around them

  • Adds a Multi-Tool buffer with Tether telecomms added in the prep room.

• Fixed some Vox suits from having missing icons in Security.
• Adds PrettyBuild to Tasks for VSCode.

2023-04-10
