"Natural" tends to mean undyed in the case of things like cloth or leather, and these things do have their own white-to-beige color which is implied by the word. In a setting like PRPI, though, it is a little unclear what natural means exactly, but I just assume it to mean "light brown" when I encounter it. It could, though, perhaps mean grayish and uneven in the case of a plastic produced by melting down other plastics.

I agree it's unclear, but I'm not sure it's problematic enough to rush a fix, particularly since I have no idea what the effect would be on already-existing natural-hued objects. Also, asking somebody to do something in the same sentence as you accuse them of copping out is usually not an effective bargaining strategy, at least in my experience. Cool

I've heard of getting cybernetics post-chargin before on Atonement, but I never found out the conditions you'd need to do it, so this post is part question, part suggestion.

What are the conditions to getting cybernetics post-chargin, which I suppose might be almost impossible now without a city like Tram?

If there is no way, what about a method similar to pregnancy where you 1 RPP and there's a chance your body will reject it? Other conditions should include having someone with expert robotics, someone with expert biology, and someone with expert medicine; maybe a penalty for relying on vnpcs to fill any of the roles. Other conditions should include some sort of credit and time requirement to find the parts.

Immediate problems I can see is that I've heard the pregnancy thing might have too much luck involved, and I'm not sure what someone would do in the case of rejection. I assume it'd be really hard to roleplay missing an arm when your cybernetic implant didn't go so well. Alternatively, failing the implant could just mean you don't get stat boosts but the thing's still functional, so it avoids the above problem.

All I got so far, any thoughts?

Editted to add: Failure to implant causes no increase in stats but the decrease still goes through, so there's actually a potential downside to trying it. Well, besides losing a RPP.

My thoughts , for what they're worth, on the matter of cybernetics acquired in-game:

It should be possible, it should be expensive, and it should cost RPP equivalent to what the same modifications would cost out of chargen.

I would also prefer for it to compensate for crippling injury, rather than "pure enhancement."

But of course, just my two cents, not my call

Can we get the color "natural-hued" removed from the game?

It reeks of a copout where you refuse to describe any color at all because you can't determine the colors of a natural hue.


No, you can't. It is a necessary coded default for an undyed leather hide. Personally, I would say that if it annoys you enough to make you buy a dye and change it, then it is working properly. Smile

A radio channel that announces time and date.

Rust citizens can broadcast on this channel.


As it stands, the lunar cycles cannot keep time on a scale that is anything but hostile to the human being. So there would naturally be systems in place to keep time for the regular daily human activities like eating and sleeping.

Also, it would also constitute a channel everyone knows and most people might listen to. That means characters could use it as a general distress channel or idle chatter channel.

I'd suggest a way to make a number of Large Radio part piles into small complicated parts piles. Maybe 10 large piles to one small complicated? After a while, they just kind of stack up. Unsure if they breathe into alion?

The ability to use CRAWL and not break being hidden/sneaky. On top of that, small boost to sneak while crawling?

I would think the opposite would be true.

I wouldn't. You're obviously a lot less visible as a target if you're belly down on the ground and edging your way towards someone a room away. They're less likely to notice you then sneaking around standing on two feet.

I do get what you're saying though. I'd want to shoot anyone belly-crawling their way across a busy street.


Another small want, adding fixed drives to dissasemble robot-drive-mechanism
