Revolutionary Metashield, Space Law Updates
The metashield entry for Revolutionaries has been added, which states that the presence of Revolutionary Idealists on station beyond a myth that no one would act on is shielded.
The revealing conditions for the shield are:
the evacuation shuttle being recalled due to reports of unusual activity on the station by Central Command.
being a revolutionary
a mindshield causing the implanted to remember their true allegiance.
witnessing someone being brainwashed by a flash.
discovering a USP (Union of Socialist Planets) fast draw implanter.
discovering a unlocked rev-uplink.
Additionally, Space Law has been updated to allow Security that allows Security to Mind Shield crew members regardless of whether a crime was committed, in the case that a threat is revealed aboard the station that utilizes mass brainwashing or mind control. This leads to Security being able to act more proactively during Revs/Blood Cult, able to more readily expand their influence.
Space Law now also explicitly pardons crewmembers upon being de-converted of any crimes they committed while brainwashed.
Thermomachines
by @lumpy
Two additional tiers of thermomachines (Freezers and Heaters) have been added, alongside one new tier of atmospherics research: Atmospheric Exotech (10k points, third tier research). There are now a total of 4 tiers of thermomachines: standard, upgraded, advanced, and hellfire. Standard freezer/heater boards are now available to be printed round-start.
Additionally, Hyper-Noblium has been changed to form at temperatures below 15K, rather than 24K, now requiring an Advanced Freezer (T3) at minimum.
BZ Rework
by @lumpy
The BZ gas has been reworked to be less dangerous overall, now dealing minor cellular damage instead of asphyxation and poison damage. The "rainbow" effect is now also weaker, but it is much more viable for getting high due to being able to be exposed to it for longer.
BZ now also additionally rapidly drains Changeling chemicals when inhaled by one, acting as an anti-Changeling gas.
Music Techfab
by @Gansu
The music techfab has been added, whose circuit board is unlocked with the new "Instrument Production" Tier 1 Civilian Research, unlockable for 5,000 points. The music tech fab is able to print 25 different types of instruments.
Gingerbread Sprites and Markings
by @Teasq
The gingerbread species sprites have been overhauled visually to have many more customization options. Gingerbreads now have a new base model without the icing, and many new forms of icing may be applied as markings, allowing you to customize your Gingerbread's style and colors to your liking! They also can now have icing hair.
