Why would you disallow Plasmamen from using the cultbackpack?
|
Explain this deathcult to me. Is it like the firecult, some different faction of magic and mayhem? Cult PRs always seem to confuse me or I miss details |
|
will add some suggested changes when i can. and deathcult s just another theme. |
|
Maybe just three manifested ghost limit? |

Can you fix the issue where sacrifices don't complete the cult sac objective? |

Maybe have extra damage for people who are teleporting to/from deep space? (IE: not station or mining zlevels)

Thats really what that check is. i think theres a specific check i can pull.

My point is: there's a difference between a cult base on the mining or science outpost (which is discoverable/raidable) and one in deep space (which isn't typically findable, let alone attackable).
The code for teleport runes should distinguish between the two. The former should have a substantial penalty. The latter should have a severe penalty... or cults will just continue creating their bases in places like the white ship, where they're functionally invincible.

Maybe stop this working if the cultist is cuffed?
We've had issues with teleporting cultists that we have to lethal to subdue. It sucks when a cultist is cuffed, chaired in the brig - and they just get teleported out.
|
If you're going to make summon cultist not work for cuffed cultists then you need to re-add the break cuffs rune from oldcult. Not being able to summon cultists at all if they're cuffed (which is quick and easy to do) is a huge change. There are many undocumented changes: Also why did you make golems not be able to be converted? Seriously these are a lot of nerfs in one big PR |
|
I'd be fine with adding a rune that breaks cultists out of cuffs. That said, the cult shouldn't be able to instantly teleport a cuffed person out of processing with no warning or possibly for any of the officers standing next to them to do anything about it. That sort of teleporting just leads to people declaring all cultists kill-on-sight, as it is literally impossible to keep them contained. |

Is this unavailable for Pyr'Kaus? If so then its fine, otherwise should de-specify, or have it reference a set var like [station_name()] does

Ah, this raises 2 issues:
First, what if a sacrifice target dies? Does this leave the objective uncompleteable?
Second, isn't sacrificing the dead a means for a cult to bring itself back from the brink? Using this, a single cultist can go from just themself, to 2 shades and themself, sufficient to do full conversions.
|
@Crazylemon64 you would think it being in a typed loop would make it happy...but on live..theres an issue with null.current and due to the runtime..no ones objectives update. Is there any other sanity i can do to make sure objectives update right and/or get added? |
|
god i remember when ss13 was fun |
|
Merging convert and sac is going to result in a significant increase of people taken out of the round. |
|
Especially since it only takes one person to activate the rune. Plenty of times people will be clustered together around the cult base, making the chance of an accidental sac greater. Though it could also mean that constructs are used more often. |
