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. That said, it is rare that an update does not coincide with a mapswap.

2024-11-24

• Changed borgs to allow them to apply upgrades to themselves again, excluding the module reset upgrade.
• Fixed a runtime with robot UI code.

2024-11-18

• Added a whole new TGUI window for borg module selection, which allows the user to easily browse all available module sprites.
• Added "pro swimmer" trait that costs one point, which increases your movespeed in water (about half as much as aquatic) and reduces time to traverse between water z-levels when swimming.
• Added search functionality to smart vendors.
• Added "salvage technician" alt title for engineer. NOTE: This is currently bugged and unselectable, it will be fixed in the next update.
• Added the ability to grind ores directly for reagents.
• Added more stack materials to the list of grindable materials.
• Added the engineering drake borg plushie to cargo's random plushie crate contents.
• Changed a variety of swimming and climbing related traits:
  • Bad Swimmer makes it take 25% longer to swim up/down.
  • Amateur and Natural Climber reduce ladder/lattice climbing time by 25%.
  • Professional Climber reduces ladder/lattice climbing time by 50%.
  • Tajara and Vasilissans have 25% reduced ladder/climbing time, so they gain the benefit of Amateur Climber.
• Changed Winged Flight to allow all species to take it.
• Changed Rings, Watches, Bracelets, and Knuckledusters into Accessories that can be attached to most Gloves. They can still be worn standalone if desired. Rings and knuckledusters will give your gloves a small bump in force/punchforce whilst attached as well.
• Changed Macrophages to have increased escape chance.
• Changed the ore satchel so that it will no longer pick up slag.
• Removed unused buzzer rings.
• Removed the ability for borgs to upgrade themselves. NOTE: This is planned to be reverted partially in the next update, in which they will only be restricted from resetting their own module.

• Fixed the ghost verb so that it no longer gives the option to aghost to non-staff in some circumstances.
• Fixed the advanced who verb so that it no longer gives the admin version of the verb to non-staff in some circumstances.

2024-11-10

• Added an entirely new virology system, which completely replaced the previous Virus2 system that we had.
  • Advance diseases are engineered by virologists, they can range from useful to dangerous.
  • Virologists can use the new chemicals to improve and evolve their viruses.
  • These new viruses can be cured with specific chemicals, as well as the ones made by the virologists.
  • If a virus has been found, you can check the cure with a simple health analyzer, otherwise the PanDEMIC machine will show anything in it.
  • Viruses will be auto-discovered if they reach half or more in it's stages.
• Added verb ReleaseVirus in the Fun > Event Kit tab. This allows GMs to release a pre-set virus upon someone.
• Added verb AdminCreateVirus in the Fun > Event Kit tab. This allows GMs to tailor a virus and release it upon someone, all the effects can be picked and the virus may be named as well.
• Added the ability to choose which type of headset/earpiece your character spawns with in character setup. If the chosen type is not available for your job/role, you will default to another (usually the standard headset).
• Added a new earbud style radio headset/earpiece, which has no on-character sprite. This is also selectable in character setup.
• Added an extra button to all station dorms, an emergency door release. This can be pulled by the occupants to immediately unbolt and open the door even if it is unpowered.
• Adds a contraband scanner machine that scans the contents of mobs that walk over it, and if it detects they're carrying an item matching its internal blocklist, sounds an alarm. The alarm has a short, area-shared cooldown (10 seconds) so you can't spam the sound/text message by walking over the same (or multiple) scanners in rapid succession. They cannot be built and are not currently implemented on any maps, but this will likely change in future.
• Added new upgraded components for robots to increase their hp up to a total maximum of ~ 370 hitpoints, those components also reduce power costs.
• Added three varieties of lockpick (one of which is really just an example) for redgate/event usage and getting around locked simple doors without finding their actual key.
• Added the ability to alt-click a reagent dispenser (such as a water or fuel tank) to open the input. When the input is open, reagent containers (such as buckets and beakers) will pour their contents into the dispenser to refill it.
• Added ping to status tab.
• Added "modified" and "non-standard" variants of the hacktool, which have different sprites to make them more obvious. The non-standard also starts in hackmode. The modified version can be found in abandoned crates, and are slightly more common than the fully disguised hacktool.
• Added a new dark variant of the squish hammer that breaks every bone in the targets body and shoots out blood.
• Added a simple claw hammer weapon. Strong melee weapon that easily breaks down windows and barricades, but also has a high chance of breaking any bones that it hits.
• Added 4 new props based on the old virology machines for decoration.
• Removed the redundant name/desc customize proc from the plain choker (just use name/desc gear tweaks instead).
• Changed the cache directory to cache instead of tmp.
• Changed power cells to initialize.
• Changed vending machines to initialize.
• Changed the hacker contraband set to come with the modified multitool.
• Changed the modified multitool variant to sometimes spawn in abandoned crates slightly more often at a slightly lower cost, as it's more obvious as contraband.
• Fixed a bug causing healing to be 100x more effective than intended.
• Fixed the vore panel belly description overflowing if it is too long.
• Fixed ghostjump.

• Added a few guard_limit variants of existing AI holder types, particularly for mercs.
• Changed water coolers to now hold 2000u of water instead of 120u. Their jugs are also made of plastic instead of glass, incur heavy slowdown, and cannot be placed into bags and most reagent dispensers.

Due to the lesser known lore of them and the unique abilities they possess, they are a whitelist only species with high standards.
• Added the option to choose your own runechat color, this is the text that appears above your character's head ingame when you speak. This can be changed in the general section of character setup, right below your languages.

• Fixed an issue where when the stellar delight was loaded, that other maps would not be tested in the compiler.

2024-09-07

• Added a new whitelist species, the Hanner. These are the half-offspring of Lleill and share a small number of their abilities.

This species can be a crewmember if they have been approved for the whitelist via a special character application.
• Added an entirely new Game Options system to game for non-vore prefs, replacing the majority of the options in the preferences tab and switches in the global tab with a new TGUI window.

• Fixed AdminPM rights so that only active staff can view confidential conversations.

2024-09-01

• Added Fears and Phobia traits, which cause your character to gain Panic when exposed to certain things (e.g. spiders), which makes you less accurate with ranged attacks, cause you to auto-emote, and sometimes drop any items you're holding. Citalopram and Paroxetine can be used to counteract its effects.
• Added Spice Smites. Be careful what you wish for when you hit that Request Spice button!
• Added robotic digitigrade leg options. Also requires the appropriate digitigrade setting to avoid clothes looking weird, of course.
• Morphs can now take over their prey properly.
• New mind transfer pref, blocks bodysnatching and most other nefarious uses of mind transfers.
• Added a new button to the vore panel preferences tab, "Load Prefs From Slot". This button allows you to simply load another character slot's bellies and vore preferences onto your current character, but does not automatically save them.

• Using the Copy Slot option will now immediately Save, so you no longer have to do it manually in order to finalize the copy.

2024-08-26

• Added research samples, for research, to be found in explorable locations. Collect them using special sample containers (found in mining and xenoarch closets, and mining and exploration points vendors), then analyze them or reduce them into useful resources! Or just put them on a table and use them as a conversation piece.
• Added a new goofy looking vore mob, the Meowl.
• Added "random corporate supply" and contraband "special corporate supply" crates to cargo terminals; the former mostly has harmless stuff, whilst the latter can spawn all sorts of stuff from the random pool but can also include weapons (rarely). The special corporate supply crate is cheaper than the NULL contraband crate, but is far less likely to provide useful or valuable equipment.
• Added battery names to the cell charger rack.
• Added a check to ranged LOOC to only broadcast them to active staff.
• Added a check to the ahelp ticket panel to only allow active staff to view them.

• Fixed examining clientless humans failing in some cases.

• Reagent Dispensers now have a per-round, per-machine macro system, for faster and easier mixing. Applies to all reagent dispensers; alcohol, soda, you name it. Mostly useful for chemistry.
• Fixed species/custom blood colours being overwritten back to default red. Your chosen/current blood colour also displays as a small coloured circle on the colour selection button.
• Electrical storms are now much more likely to affect an area, but have only a 25% chance to destroy all of its lights. Most of the time, it will just make them all flicker. Spooooooky!

2024-07-28

• Added significant changes to the Lleill species. This species is admin spawn only and will remain that way, but is now generally more balanced for people to use. The ability for regular players to play these on request will likely only be granted after the lore document for them is posted to the wiki:
  • Added an energy system for some Lleill abilities (invisibility, transmutation and teleportating to rings).
  • Added ways to restore that energy. There are now two ways, either 75 energy every 10 minutes from rings, or by taking energy from another creature that consents to it.
  • Added a glamour gasmask/helmet option for Lleill to use for breathing outside of the tether.
  • Added a variant of the nudity permit of Lleill to use for storing items.
  • Added an alchemy ability to allow Lleill to do alchemy without using an alembic. Not very useful but very flavorful.
  • Added two new Lleill ears and two new Lleill tails.
  • Changed glamour rings to allow them to be destroyed by either the Lleill or another character. The Lleill is notified who has destroyed their rings (for fae antics).
  • Fixed the formatting of transmuting item text.
  • Fixed the formatting of the glamour shard item name.
  • Fixed cancelling the glamour face ability spawning faceless homunculus.
  • Fixed invisible Lleill having the AR HUD show above them.
  • Fixed speaking glamour to translate from glamour speak.

• Fixed an error in the shuttle UI preventing sensors from being shown when they should.
• Fixed Bluespace Crackers being able to be used more than once by sending multiple prompts to a target.

2024-07-21

• You can now use OOC Escape when inside food to get out of it, in the rare event that Resist isn't working and for general consistency purposes.
• Ported a bunch more clothing options.
• Added Mega Nukies, super energy drinks that can sometimes be found in maint. They can offer unique temporary effects, but there may be undesirable consequences!

• Updated several more UIs to Typescript.

2024-07-14

• Fixed Teshari stomachs show up properly.
• Fixed Unathi stomachs show up properly.
• Ported a few other belly fixes from ChompStation.

2024-07-08

• Added butterfly nets. These nets can be wafted across a tile, much like a fishing net, to catch butterflies (and people of scale 50% and below)! Using them on themselves either drops the contents, or if the inactive hand is empty, pulls out the contents into the free hand. They can be crafted from cloth, found in the botanists locker, or rarely found in maintenance.
• Added new hotkey mode combinations for resting. Ctrl+U now always rests to the right, whilst Shift+U always rests to the left. These can also be used with the Rest-Left and Rest-Right verbs in the command bar.
• Changed an airlock from the exploration preperation room into maintenance on the SD from a glass airlock to a hatch airlock.
• Fixed RD console crashing on state changes (such as when the destructive analyser is used).

2024-07-03

• Added the options to actually have vore bellies on your character now! You can find them in the visual tab and change the colour in the preferences tab of the vore panel.
• Added a small inset below most items that specify what jobs they're restricted to, if any restrictions are present. Certain items do not show their restrictions if it's obvious from the item name or description (e.g. security uniforms are for security only).
  • NOTE: This change also changed some item names, to remove no-longer-necessary notes on which departments can spawn with those items. This will cause the changed items to disappear from loadouts they were present in; they will need to be readded.
• Changed demon mobs that aren't intended to be used as AI mobs in the fantasy dungeon and jungle to other mobs.
• Updated some TGUI bundles.
• Fixed sleeping mobs (throught the sleeping verb) being unable to wake up.
• Fixed vore bellies being tied to the meson goggles layer (causing glowing white squares over all open spaces).

• Fixed cryo UI.

2024-06-30

• Changed a large number of TGUI UIs to use typescript.

2024-06-23

• Added visible belly overlays, along with an array of options in the vorepanel to modify them individually for each belly. These can be toggled off on the viewers end, using the "Toggle Stomach Sprites" verb in preferences or in the VORE section of character setup.
  • NOTE: This feature has some bugs that are being ironed out, such as not working ingame and requiring another update to make them visible in the vore panel.
• Instrument synthesizer now allows decimal values for sustained notes, not just whole numbers.
• Small fixes to NIF ownership states.

• Fixed a mis-configured door between SD maint and exploration prep.
• Fixes for lavender seeds and their icons (again).
• Fixes for the Set Volume verb not working properly.
• You can now spin bottles when they're on the floor! They'll end up pointing in a random direction every time.
• Sizeguns can be made unstable using wirecutters; in this mode, they gain a 50% chance to backfire and resize the user instead. This consumes all remaining power in the cell though. It is reversible by using wirecutters on them again.
• AI shells can no longer be renamed using renaming modules from Robotics.
• Alcohol tolerance traits have been refactored under the hood to hopefully work more reliably/consistently. The implementation/effects are otherwise largely the same as before.
• Medical patches (made using a chemmaster) now transfer loaded reagents directly to the bloodstream, allowing them to be used with more reagents as opposed to being restricted to only those that have touch effects.
• Survival watches now return the light level of the tile you're on, if it's bright enough to see.
• Bluespace crackers have been added! They can cause all kinds of weird things to happen to whoever "wins" the pull. Some of them may be rigged. Presets of each type/outcome also exist for mapping/adminspawn purposes.
• An enhanced version of the venomous bite trait has been made available. On top of the standard numbing enzyme, it now has new options such as a paralytic agent, amongst other things.
• Some TGUI fixes for buttons that might have been misbehaving.

2024-06-16

• Added a mostly fully featured mini chemlab to the main hall on the testmap, for quickly testing reagent creation and effects.
• Changed the Sleep verb to now make your character snooze until you use the verb again, instead of knocking you out for a couple of minutes and then needing to be flipped again.
• Fixed Adranol to work as intended and actually clear your jitters properly, albeit just under twice as fast as it clears normally.
• Fixed timer issue due to a wrong assumption of decisecond intervals, but it's seconds; also back to allow up to 10 minutes.
• Fixed lavender using an non-existing seed icon.
• Fixed accidental inclusion of TG subfolder.

2024-05-26

• Added a Toggle Automatic AFK setting and verb, which default to on. When enabled, you will automatically get an AFK icon above your head when you have been inactive for ten minutes. This is the same time as the standard inactivity timer. The automatically-applied status will clear as soon as you do anything, unlike the manually-set status.
  • Manually marking yourself as AFK will also show you as "Away From Keyboard for (x) minutes" when examined, rather than the default "Inactive for (x) minutes".
• Added books to the option of trash eater edible items.
• Added an option for admins to add and remove songs to the jukebox for the duration of the round.
• Added a simple "antag" role for event characters generally. Simply gives event characters the ability to use AOOC without having a persistent antag icon next to their sprite.
• Added access code 511 for lost / gravekeeper drones, in case they need specific access.
• Added lost drone ability to now can re-roll their laws 5 times before selecting a module.

• Fixed a bug where the entire emag list was re-added instead of the single, new item on borg HUD refreshes.

2024-05-20

• Added a verb under the IC tab that toggles off an overhead 'AFK' indicator, so you can easily mark yourself as such if you need to hop up and run to the bathroom or something!
• Added some simple plaque-like signs to be mapped in for events.
• Added chemmaster button from TG.
• Fixed Typing Indicators getting stuck on borgs.

• Updated typescript to version 5.91.0.
• Updated Node version in dependencies file to (major) 20.

• Added a new Belly Mode Addon called Spare Prosthetics. With this active, when prey (that has leave remains turned on) is digested, they will drop any prosthetic arms and legs into the belly.
• Added a Contaminant Detector HUD. Advanced janitorial gameplay tool. Helps spot any cleanable dirt much easier with helpful popups on HUD. Available from loadout, janitor closet, janitor supply crates, janitor vending machine, science and as a tool for borg. Comes in prescription variant (but not aviator or eyepatch).
• Added a selection of four watches which are worn on the hand/glove slot and can be taken via loadouts. The three basic variants (plastic, silver, and gold) simply tell you the station time when examined; the survival watch, if worn, also tells you your current facing direction and the temperature and pressure of the tile you're standing on (if it's simulated). More importantly, however, the survival watch also includes a basic, transmit-only GPS beacon. It is not enabled by default, but you can turn it on by left-clicking on the watch whilst holding down the left alt key.
• Added a new Customizable Permit to loadouts. You can set the name and description to whatever you want. It includes an irremovable disclaimer that it was not issued by NT, is not binding, and does not need to be honoured by security/command.

• Added in-hand sprites for rubber duckies.

• Added a bunch of options for effects to the Generic Item and Generic Structure: Sparks, Flash, Flicker Lights and Spawn Item.
• Added the ability to upload custom sprites to both Generic Item and Generic Structure, by selecting "Upload Own Sprite" from the list of sprites, along with some warnings that non 32x sprites will need to have their positions adjusted.
• Added a few quick and simple prop sprites for the items verb to choose from, including a mix of new ones and some others from throughout the game.
• Changed Belly Item Mode: Digest (Food) to not digest robotic body parts such as prosthetic limbs. These can still be digested using the Item Mode: Digest.
• Changed some text in the Vey-Medical lore codex.
• Fixed Digestion Pain preference not loading from saved preferences, causing it to reset every shift.
• Fixed borg typing indicator vanishing after a few seconds.

• Added a digestion pain preference, ported from RogueStar. Changed from a trait in character setup to a preference in the preferences tab of the vore panel.
• Added a Generic Structure and associated Eventkit verb Spawn Generic Structure. This allows staff to create a structure with customisable interactions, ranging from whether it can be turned on, wrenched down and so on to how how long it takes to turn on, what text appears when it happens and if it plays a sound.
• Added a new buildmode mode: Drop. Allows objects and mobs to be dropped in from the air. Left click drops them harmlessly, right click drops them very destructively (and will gib things they land on). Mobs that land on another mob with appropriate prefs will drop vore them.
• Added 3 more admin spawn rubber duckies (grey, green and pink).
• Added a variable to rubber duckies called "honk_text" that allows it to put an audible message in chat when honked.
• Added admin logging to vore interactions of AFK players.
• Changed the timer on the autoresleever from 15 minutes to 5 minutes, a similar amount of time to being able to make a transcore announcement.
• Changed the commonly-selectable voidsuit underlayer selector loadout category to uniforms along with the other selectors since they're more uniform-like than casual dress.
• Changed some old SolGov uniform insignias to lightly genericize them and make them available in loadouts. The can be selected in the accessory section of loadout under the insignia selection option.
• Changed wall damage from being (usually) 25 brute to 12.

• Fixed an issue with some cyborg modules not being excluded due to a pathing mistake.

2024-04-28

• Fixed broken ventilation objects in the Talon medical bay.
• Fixed various issues with 515 by un-reverting the compatability patch.
• Fixed yellow raptor sprite names and tweaked some sprites.
• Fixed flags on traits excluding each other by default.

2024-04-21

We advise people who are experiencing problems to try the following: Use the 514 byond client. Clear your byond cache. Clear your internet explorer cache (IE is used to display many TGUI elements). Restart your computer after clearing either cache, temporary files may cause problems.
• Added a number of traits to non-custom species. Traits that conflict with the current flavour of the species or are already applied by default can not be selected. These traits are:
  • Autohiss (Unathi)

  • Crystal ball that does nothing.
  • Horoscope book that generates random horoscopes every shift.
  • Dentistry tools that don't really do anything, but act as fluff.
  • Pillow resprited as exercise mat.
  • Dumbbell that can be used to exercise.
  • EMF scanner that gives random values as you move about.
  • Spirit board that either gives random values or can be manipulated by players. Ghosts can interact with it too with a chance to fail, it's just for fun but added a note to the description of the board that this doesn't canonise ghosts/souls.
  • Healing crystals that don't do anything except taste good for those with expensive taste.
  • Essential oils that don't do anything except can be made into a new drink when combined with margarita and red wine.

• Added Teshari Face Mask from chompstation.
• Added Facial protection to the mask.
• Added vorespan defines to the chat spans.
• Added some defines upstream, just to prevent compatibility issues in the future, so that no one uses them for something else.
• Changed digestion death to place the characters ghost inside of the belly they died in. This allows them to be see the belly text still, be carried around and can even be moved between bellies (such as moved along with everything else to intestines, etc), or hear a final subtled message. Ghosts can leave the belly simply by moving in any direction.
• Changed pouncing phased shadekin to now cost an additional 1000 charge.
• Changed robot shields to now overload when the power cell has 200 charge remaining instead of fully depleting the robot.
• Changed with a new function (use_direct_power(amount, lower_limit)) to directly use power for borgs with a lower power limit to prevent full self-discharge. Power is now used before the action.

• Fixed icon overlay overflow on rig suits.
• Fixed an old to_chat and also added framework for adding more face states to the mask.
• Fixed icon for borg x-ray vision.

2024-04-08

• Fixed pounce behaviour of Scrubbles to be properly checked and have a proper cooldown.
• Fixed some empty air tiles on the jungle underground.

2024-04-07

• Added a new Jungle redgate map! The overground is very typical of what you might expect from a jungle, with lots of vibe spots and a mysterious temple. The underground has a particularly lethal facility, it'd be a good idea to bring company down there.

• Fixed resetting a lost / gravekeeper or syndicate robot with a reset module allowing them to select station modules (due to their subtype, they had no access on those). Instead, they only can reselect their lost / gravekeeper / syndicate module type.
• Fixed hud icon not always updating when spawning in the subtypes directly.
• Fixed NanoMaps Marker offset on non 140x140 mapsize (NanoMaps now needs the zoomSize as props, handled as maxx+maxy in the tgui data).
• Fixed Telecomms filters, they can be added through the multitool menu.
• Fixed omni_filter and omni_mixer showing too high flow values.
• Fixed an issue where disposal pipes got weird directions due to being spawned with partial direction states.

• Added a "Knockout" process option to prey in vore bellies. It adds 500000 sleeping to the prey, with the usual confirmations.
• Added a new verb in the abilities tab called Toggle Trash Catching to all mobs who have the Trash Can trait. With this ability enabled, you will swallow items that are allowed by the trash can trait that are thrown at you. This is disabled by default.
