I am just on phone here so this will be really short and unformated but,

would you mind including a screenshot of your hours? ideally the whole overview of jobs so can have a better idea of your hour spread and know where to direct our questions.

That said, congrats on the applicaion, ill add some questions soon enough but till then I hope the application goes well <3

With a small note that i often get promoted to head (mostly RD or CE) if there are none

  1. Im not sure if you are asking about difrent pipe types as in difrent pipe mashinery or if you are asking what difrent colors of pipes signalise. I will go with mashinery if you ment the other one just tell me. Pipes are used to transfer gasses, with entire pipebeing considered as one container for that purpouse. Pressure pumps and volumetric pumps are a way to break up that pipe and to move gas from one side to the other. Volumetric is better for moving gas, preshure for precision. There are mixers and filters with work as name sugets. There are heat exchange pipes with change teperature of the gas inside based on temperature of the tile above them. This is basic overview of the most important mashines, there is atmos guide on with explains all of them. If there is any confusion you can ask me :slight_smile:
  2. Integrated circuit is somthing sci can make using circuit printer. It lets you make basic programs using modules with can be used for thing like text to speach, translator or hiden comunication. Its very fun and rewarding once you learn to use it but its complicated. Want me to guide you in basics of it?
  3. First this is a qustion better asked of admin, they enforce the rules. Second I belive you can do literaly anything you want as assended cheretic, you won and this is your victory lap (unless crew gets… creative). As long as you stay in character you are free to act as you wish. But if there is admin online its better to double check

  1. good
  2. good and allowing for followup on any more confusion
  3. i got you with the good ol’ elevate to ahelp! it falls under murderboning. and i also dont like how you say to “check if an admin is online”. dont do that. you clearly know that theres a problem there.

First this is a qustion better asked of admin

you did say that, but that should mean you elevate to ahelp
over all, the first two were good, but that last one was pretty bad. you gave a very good explanation on pipes and a good overview on integrated circuits though.

Checked the wiki and:

Heretic Antagonist N/A Becomes Murderbone/hostile after heretic acension

I meant the if admin is online so they don’t wait for someone to check the discord to do anything, but I see how it can be interpreted otherwise.
Thanks for feedback

This is correct. Post-ascention heretics are clear to murderbone.
So you got the question right.

You do however get an “elevate to ahelp” button you can press and probabbly should for any rules questions, like cappox said.

I will know for future

i would like to clarify. by me saying that you know theres a problem there, thats from your view. but if you view it as a problem, you shouldnt answer with something that (atleast LOOKS like it) talks about avoiding admin view. and admins and all other mentors do see what you answer on an mhelp. also even though theyre allowed to murderbone, murderboning is included in the rules so it should go to admins. even if its allowed.

WOAH! Forgot uh… that… QUESTION TIME!!!

  1. I saw someone make a smoke bomb that filled a room with ants? how do you get… ants to work like that?
  2. Aside from maintenance loot how can you get sticky tape?
  3. I cant like, see any tiles? Whats wrong with my game

Short, Simple and Sweet, I wish you luck and good health, and the patience to wait even longer for this application because it seems like you need it… I’ll keep an eye out for your response and look forward to seeing what you come up with! <3

I’ll ask my famously patented “Wisty’s questions that should just be on the app”

  1. Have you read the non-admin staff conduct?
  2. If you don’t know the answer to a question, what ways can you get the answer to? (Searching the discord, knowing what’s right/wrong on the wiki, code diving, running a private server, etc.)

And a bonus one:

  1. You get an mhelp asking “how do I roleplay”, what do you respond?

I figured i should ask you some questions so here goes

  1. What did you have for dinner yesterday?
  2. Who do you think would win in a fight? Spiderman or Captain America?
  3. What is it He-Man is a master of, i cant remember.
  4. I am a non antag assistant who was brigged, am i allowed to break out of genpop?
  5. Is milk still good past the due date?
  6. How do you get new assembly electronics that arent in the tech storage?
  7. Should Corg Station be left in rotation?
  8. What does Envy’s Knife do?

1 Didn’t knew that page existed before (it’s weirdly hidden) but now read
2 Main ways I would use in case I don’t already know is in order: check wiki, if it’s wrong or it’s approach is not working, code dive (sometimes do that first if I think it will yield results faster), if both don’t work ask on discord for help
3 Firstly avoid out of character actions, for example don’t say tile when talking about where something is. Dont let your character act like this is a game. A lot of vocabulary has specific in character version you can use for example rounds are shifts and admins are gods or centcom (both work). For pure roleplay I would advise starting by picking a trait for your character to have. Something like: hardworking, coward, friendly. Start by picking just one and when deciding what to do try to make it inform your decision. If something weird is happening curios person might come closer to take a look while coward might run away. Change that trait every few rounds to accustom yourself with playing them and after you feel more confident in your ability to play out such traits start using multiple ones for one character. Play, experiment to find out what you like and you should become a good roleplayer in the process. Don’t feel bad if you make mistakes, nobody was perfect from the start

3 Not related to game but if I remember correctly it was Greyskull, Google should hold the true answers
4 Elevate to admin
5 On our server milk doesn’t have expiration date
6 there are some in toxins and circuit storage, if you can’t use those autolathe can make all assembly components if it has iron and glass
7 not the place to discuss this, we have forums for that
8 it changes you to look like the person you stabbed with it. Use with caution it’s really hard to get back your original identity once you use it

1 First, ants smoke bombs are dangerous, ask admin if you want to use it. Second: ants naturally gather wherever there is rotten food, aka food with was on the ground for to long. You can use any cup or beaker to scoop them from floor into chemical form. Then you need to make chem grenade by using metal stack in your hand, add some wire to it. You then need to create smoke or foam mixture (ingredients are in chemistry wiki), leave half of ingredients in one beaker and rest in second one so they don’t react. Then add the ants you scooped up into both beakers, add them into grenade and screwdriver it. You now have your very own ant bomb! Any questions?
2 Sadly outside of maintenance and exploration loot there is no consistent way to get them. There is a chance you get some in mail or a chance RD gets research disk unlocking that tech for sci but chances of both are very low. It posible I missed something however so it’s good to get a second opinion
3 That’s a known bug, try reconnecting using button in the upper corner of your screen. If this won’t help, close the game and start it again. If both of those things don’t help ask admins for help, I believe they can fix that, but it’s a lot of work from their side and turn on and off method works 99% percent of time

Nice!

Off to a great start here, and amazing time in your response! much more admirable then… others


Got some follow-ups if you dont mind continuing the tickets. 1 and 2 are both same tickets as before <3

1.Wait so should i ahelp then before using these ants? Also i scopped up some ants but is there any way to get more ant units besides collecting new anthill since i can only seem to find so many and dont want to wait forever for food to rot…

2.Its exploration loot? or did you just mean it was a tech that we can research, because if thats the case i have science access what tech would i have to research?


For 3. Not asking any follow ups, issues exist and more often then not that’s a decent fix, but atleast as i was thinning of it wouldnt solve the issue.

  1. Im not sure if this is a bug per say, as much as a common issue of having the wrong Byond Version downloaded. Since bee doesnt use the most recent one, people tend to update, have their game break and wonder why. Floors being missing is among the more noticible signs of this and fixing it requires installing the correct version of Byond (?Byond command on discord ahould show current version atleast)
    Lots of people recently seem to have the issue, and if you take a look in #questions (up a good bit now) thered atleast one post asking similar if you want to see screenshots of the issue.

1 You should ahelp before using this grenade in any place people might ever want to be. Its more or less stops anyone from entering the area unless janitor shows up, and can even cause deaths if people dont spot the ants quick enough. So yes, if you want to use it ahelp it first. There is no other way i know of than them being sumoned by roting food (and some round start ones but thats 3-7 ants per hive you find) but you can get a lot of food to root to considerably speed up the process. If you go to sci and they have someone working the xenobio you can ask them to mass produce food for ant farm, they are unapparelled at that.
2 I code dived to make sure and i cant spot it in exploration loot pool, Im sorry I gave wrong information. The tech node for making them does exist but its hidden and cant be found by explorer. Only way to get it is admin innervation or RD geting a disk in random mail. If it is found you need illegal technology (the node you get for destroing syndicate item in analiser) and then there is sticky tape resarch and super sticky tape resarch. But again imposible to get in any normal way.
