Revolutionaries: Open Revolt
As part of the ongoing Revs rework, a new major mechanic has been added to the Revolutionaries game mode, known as Open Revolt.
Open Revolt is a state that is triggered by either a Head Rev with an action, or the Evac Shuttle failing to dock. Open Revolt allows all Revolutionaries to see other Rev statuses, but the Head Revolutionaries' names are revealed in a global announcement by CentComm in return as a trade-off.
This allows Revolutionaries to more reliably organize together in the late-game to take down heads, and is also aimed to reduce the amount of Rev-on-Rev round removal that occurs in the late-game if a large shootout is forced to occur. This also allows Security to progress the game state once revolt is triggered by revealing the Head Revs, allowing them to pursue their true goals (catching the Head Revs) in a more focused way instead of the wide-spread violence they've often been forced to resort to when things get dire. Overall it should quicken the end-game portion of Revolutionaries, and heavily reduce round-stalling when Head Revs do nothing.
Crystallizer, Atmos Crystals
by @lumpy
Atmos's Crystallizer has been added to the game, an atmospherics machine that allows gases to be solidified and and made into various materials. Gases can be made inside the Crystallizer by pumping them into the input port and regulating the temperature into the displayed green range with the regulator port.
Some Crystals that can be made:
- Healium Crystal: Used to normalize the temperature in a large area. They also release very small amounts of Healium.
- Proto-Nitrate Crystal: Release a large amount of Nitrogen and Oxygen at an 8:3 mix. Can be used to refill an area after spacing.
- Nitrous Oxide Crystal: Release Nitrous Oxide, potentially putting people around them to sleep. Very small range, but powerful.
- Ammonia Crystal: Useless, can be sold or eaten (with great pain).
- Crystal cell: A non rechargeable cell with a huge power capacity.
- Zaukerite: Stackable, but currently useless.
Thaven
Ported from Imp Station by @corresp0nd, originally by widgetbeck, crocodilecarousel, TGRCdev, airfryerbuyonegetonefree, sowelipililimute, honeyedlemons, DinnerCalzone, kushbreth, deltanedas, ShaSeng
The Thaven species has been added to the game, who are fish-like, fey-esque creatures whose primary mechanic are their Moods. Moods are roleplay-driven laws meant to flavor the character for the round, similar to Silicon Laws but far more dramatic. Thaven must abide by their Moods, similarly to how Silicons must abide by their Laws.
Thaven also have other species features, such as being able to breathe any air, and taking stun damage from unarmed attacks instead of taking damage.
Silo Relay
by @Gansu
Added the material silo relay to the game, a machine that allows for simple input and output to the material silo network, intended for use by Salvagers so they do not have to go grab a ton of things from Science every shift. The Bluespace Cargo Transport research will also unlock the material silo relay board.
Cosmic Cult
The Cosmic Cult antagonist is now in Secret rotation.
The Cosmic Cult is also now able to elect a new leader if the previous leader cryos or ghosts, instead of becoming unable to do anything. (leader change by JoulesBerg)
Map Changes
- Reach, Barratry, Fland, Cluster, Omega, Origin, Bagel, and Box are now the only maps in rotation. This was done to reduce the previous severe mapping load for Maintainers.
- Box Station now has a silo, mail teleporter, and more maints. - by Huhm-1
- Crystallizer and bluespace gas vendors added to Bagel. - by mkanke-real
Other Changes
- Certain bounty items now have prerequisite research, this will prevent them from generating until the relevant item is creatable. - by GansuLalan
- New song, Split, added to the pool of songs that can play while a nuke is armed. - by Sadie-silly / pigeonbeans
- The foam blade now does stamina damage and can make a fleshy sound. - by Komonighub

Misc Bug Fixes
- Fixed issue with bluespace gas vendors forcing the game back to lobby. - by lumpylemons
