Who vouches for your experience (if anyone)?: N/A, haven’t bothered to ask

Game Experience (More Detailed):
I got interested in SS13 by a friend, joined goonstation at first, played there for a bit, had some good fun, learned some things. After goon kinda became a shitty place for me, joined beestation, on golden, eventually moved over to sage before golden was kill because of low pop and no bloodcult. I already cryo alot, and I may aswell help people. I know most jobs, mostly lacking in command because PTSD from playing command on golden. i dont really find it fun. Yell at me your questions or something, I’m free on the weekends and after 2:30~ most of the weekdays.

Any particular reason you cryo alot?

I’d be up for giving you a shot if you promised activity would be a guaranteed thing, answering mhelps as they come in etc also being active with questions in the discord.

Mostly because ive played well over 60~ days of SS13 straight on different codebases. Its somewhat difficult for SS13 to hold my attention for a while, but i find observeing to be fun and mostly stick around after i do cryo.

What’s your knowledge regarding engineering setting the SM up etc, it’s a very common question from newish players.

For a standard SM setup, you wanna.
-Replace all the pumps with volume pumps
-Connect Nitrogen canisters to the loop
-Make sure the bypass for the cold loop into the hot loop is removed
-Add plasma tanks to all 6 rad collectors
-Make sure the pumps for the space loop are either straightpiped (better), or enabled
-Set the air alarm to panic syphon
-Enable rad collectors if they arent already
-Enable emitters
-Set smes’s to max input, output can be left alone
-Done, now go wire solars incase of sm sabotage

Grows-The-Plants is good, he knows his stuff. But here’s some freeform questions to prove your knowledge if you want to answer them of course

You’re a clock cultist and you have a robotics setup on the ark, you decide to make some nice borgos. How do you make and convert a borg? What modules would you want early game and late game?

Whats the best chems to counter a slow acting explosive syringe? (One that heats and blows up in your body)

You’re a traitor chemist and you find a gondala in maints, what can you do with it?

You’re a traitor and your target is a competent xenobiologist, you have the whole round to kill them and no other objectives. You can assume they don’t have any special equipment outside of what xeno can make. How would you go about killing them?

You’re the cmo, there are revs and your the last head. You only have access to medical and only have a bit of time to prepare. What do you make and or get to protect yourself?

These questions are really freeform so you can do dumb creative solutions, I already know you know your stuff :wink:

Side Note (Fuck I put jestie instead of grows, shush I was talking to him)

SHE FOR CHRISTS SAKE MY POOR MISGENDERED LIZARD.

  1. Print positronic brains, and everything under the cyborg tab. Print 3 flashes, and draw the conversion rune wherever. Print powercells, charge them however, or steal them. Attach everything but the chest and the head to the endo. Add two flashes to the head, add it to the endoskeleton, add wire and the cell to the chest, and add it to the frame. Activate the posis if they havent already been, grab a multitool, open the borgs menu, enable the lockdown, then make the borg with the posibrain, and drag it over the rune
  2. Put them on a cryobed. if that fails, Calomel or other purging chems, or something that cools the subject down
  3. Plasmaflood the xenobio rune. Make bolas, shoot them with a stechkin. Dont get close to them, and run from anything that they throw at you.
  4. If you have tools, disaemblee machines and take cable. Get iron from the lathe, and use it to build a bola, with cable restraints and 6 iron. Bolas are incredibly usefull for escaping. Your tele baton can knockdown, target legs → shove. Flash anyone who doesnt have flash protection. Other than that, run like hell, dont stand near people if they arent confirmed to be mindshielded

Activity and overall playtime are fine, however a few recent notes are going to result in me remaining neutral on this for the time being. Good luck.

Pending knowledge questions, I would be willing to chip in a plus one

question time

  • what slime extract heals you

  • how does one produce raw silk

  • what is bungotoxin what does it do

  • steps on building an AI core with an AI

  • a player asks if they can leave the lavaland base as a lavaland syndicate your answer

Some questions!

  • How do you check an AIs laws if you think theyre not stating some?

  • How would you go about reviving someone who has a skull icon by their healthbar, and have 400 burn damage?

  • How would you fully clean a a room effected by a rainbow scrubber surge?

  • How do you collect gibtonite Ore?

  • an Oozling is wheeled into medical with no arms or legs, in critical. How do you save them?

Boxta’s answer seems to indicate an incomplete knowledge of how atmos works and gas within pipes. The SM is frequent for mhelps, especially during lowpop when there is perhaps just one newbie engineer.

That, and your medical hours leave something to be desired.

I will give you +0.5, because science can be overwhelming for some newbies, and you would be a great reference as a mentor.

But please develop your engineering and medical skills further.

You seriously don’t expect people to remember entire xenobio, do you?

That is incorrect, questions about the SM never happen and there is a simple answer why: when SM is dying, you don’t have time to wait for mentors to maybe answer.

(putting it here cause it may be several days/weeks before I come to forum again. I have been a mentor for 1,5 years and have like 700 hours in engineering and I possibly somewhat recall 1/2 mhelps regarding the engine (or none at all).
In conclusion:
Doesn’t matter, noone asks questions about it and there are better topics to ‘test’ people who wanna be mentors.)

In order

  • Any of the regenerative crossbreeds, or purple extracts.
  • Murder some spiders
  • Bungotoxin comes from the bungo tree plant, and deals high toxin damage
  • Make the ai core frame with plasteel, Wrench the frame, add Circuit, Add screwdriver, Optionally add core law modules, add a posi brain or a brain in a MMI, add Rglass, screwdriver
  • This is a rules question, direct them to ahelp.

Questions from Spicy

  • Card them with a intelicard
  • Cloning, after dehusking; The skull icon means 15 minutes have passed since their death, and by any means cannot be defibbed
  • Space cleaner foam or smoke
  • Break the ore with a mining tool, smack it with a scanner, break it again
  • Give them anything that deals toxin damage, such as toxin.
  • Any of the regenerative crossbreeds, or purple extracts.

works

  • Murder some spiders

sure but a more practical solution is to shove some cotton in a loom

  • Bungotoxin comes from the bungo tree plant, and deals high toxin damage

gives you a stroke actually [deals heart dammage]. good lord if an oozeling gets this missinformation

  • Make the ai core frame with plasteel, Wrench the frame, add Circuit, Add screwdriver, Optionally add core law modules, add a posi brain or a brain in a MMI, add Rglass, screwdriver

good

  • This is a rules question, direct them to ahelp.

yes

not perfect but who is. considering your other questions you get a +1

card them with a intelicard

Correct

  • Cloning, after dehusking; The skull icon means 15 minutes have passed since their death, and by any means cannot be defibbed

Technically correct, but you could also do revival surgery on a corpse to revive, no matter how long its been.

Space cleaner foam or smoke

Correct

Break the ore with a mining tool, smack it with a scanner, break it again

Correct

Give them anything that deals toxin damage, such as toxin.

Correct, but welding fuel is my go-to. Also, force feeding is a good idea most of the time.

4.5/5. Solid, hours are a little lacking in command, but based on other answers, +1

Good luck.

How do you set off gibtonite ore after you’ve collected it?

Do wheel chairs work in 0g?

T: +2

  • Strike it with a mining tool, such as a pickaxe
  • No, unless they are being pushed

looks good +1 from me but could use some more assistant hours

+1
I see you have a lot of hours in science too.
Here’s some challenge questions you can answer for the hell of it:

  • How to deal brain damage as xenobiologist?

  • How to make CO2 SM?

  • Which item, made in the crafting menu, quintuples plasma?

  • An mhelp comes in containing “I need a guide”. How do you respond?

  • Which features do you think make for a good and effective beneficial nanite setup? (This is a subjective question so I can’t really say right or wrong to this)
