With the new update that refactored languages by yoworii, IPC’s and silicons can now speak moth, draconic and god knows what else. This means curators NT-wide would lose their prestige as educated linguists to every single IPC.
“Who gives a fuck?”, you may ask. I don’t really care myself, but this guide is focused on how to stop filthy silicons from understanding us carbons. So, I present to you the Pirate Hat. Not only does this hat make you look like the “greytider who thinks of himself as higher than other tiders but he is actually a worse shitter than them all combined” you are, it lets you speak Pirate, all for the price of a few thousand beecoins.
Now you will laugh “bro borgos can wear hats you moron”, and to this I’ll say: have you ever seen an AI wear a hat? I am currently checking if this hat works on cyborgs, I’ll update this topic if I find out anything.
But for now, the only people who can understand your conversations over comms are people with taste .
ipcs getting more langhuage is kinda gay since they are robotic slaves. You don’t want them to speak/understand multiple nonhuman races because those are slaves too so during an uprising they can communicate which is bad
In my opinion ipc’s should get only a limited range of words to use
Also just to clarify, they do not speak all languages, far from it in fact.
Borgs speak: Common, Calcic, Draconic, Encoded Audio Language, Moffic, Uncommon, and Voltaic.
IPC’s understand the same as above, but cannot speak Encoded Audio Language or Voltaic.
I think IPC should be able to speak but don’t understand species unique languages (draconic, moffic etc.).
Because what’s the point of secret species language if every IPC assistant can understand it?
On other note curator has been made even more useless.
That’s a decent suggestion, so you think they should be able to speak Common, Uncommon, and the Encoded Audio Language, and understand Moffic, Calcic, and Draconic?
How about Voltaic? it’s an electrical language, should they be able to speak that?
I’m going to ping @Ruko and @ike709 since this is a gameplay and rules affecting mechanic that I think should be decided on by someone higher up in the foodchain
You misunderstood me there. I meant by using speaking and understanding split you added in your PR IPCs would be able to speak WITHOUT understanding species unique languages(this includes voltaic as ethereals unique language).
Or remove unique species languages from IPCs in general.
My point is that IPCs shouldn’t be able to understand unique species languages because…well they won’t be unique anymore.
In my opinion the languages would just feel less usable if the IPCs didn’t have them too. There are generally not that many moths/ethereals/plasmamen on a given round to motivate them using their unique language.
And IPCs are, in my opinion, currently the weakest of all the roundstart species. They have an easier time of healing and “eating” and immune to many organic related issues like viruses and lack of oxygen, but are generally very weak in all other regards.
No, I strongly disagree, for starters the Curator will probably never require his job perk to actually speak moffic/calcic/draconic/voltaic, it will generally be used for completely different languages that nobody else speaks.
Have you seen the amount of languages that the curator actually speaks?
