[Comms supply issues]

So there is a limited amount of comms on station, everyone spawns with one but if they switch jobs they need to find one in a locker... but what if we run out of those? There is no way to get more from what I have been told. And playing as HoP I have noticed people coming to me for a new headset. So I propose we make it so the HoP has a vender in their office that they can dispense headset keys at. Similar to the PDA cartages. People come by anyways looking for them and I dont see why they wouldnt have the ability to set up the new hire with communication things as well.

Slime people do not need a buff in any way, they are in the most balanced state they have been in for quite a long time. 
Now, SR surgery is not actually very difficult, realistically you are going to need ~5 units of mito and a pill of SR, maybe a bit more mito if those organs die on you, but it's really not that bad, just forces medical to play in a more proactive way.
Now you can also just do a brain transplant and plastic surgery on a converted humanized monkey if you really want to do this, so I frankly don't understand this

Slime people are remarkably easy to heal up because they never get fractures due to not having bones. I dont think they any buffs even if its a minor one. 

Wasnt really thinking of it as a buff but I see how it technically is one. Was more thinking how it would be interesting and give Xenobio another thing to do with their slimes, similar to how a roboticist usually handles the repairs of IPC's and such, Xenobios would become the defacto revival point of slimes. Similar to how humans go through cloning, but possibly longer and with no way to make it shorter like you can the cloning pod. Thought it sounded interesting and Exavere seemed to agree with me on that, so thought I would post a topic here on it so the coders could see it.

[Slime person revival idea]

So I was chatting with Exavere about slime people and their revival mechanics since cloning doesnt work on them. I was surprised after hearing only SR works on them to come back. And responded that It wouldnt have surprised me if they said that you could put their slime core into a slime from Xeno to grow them a new body. So here is my suggestion

I think it would be interesting if you could put a dead slime persons slime core into a slime to grow them a new body, or something similar Xenobio could do. It would take time of course, like most forms of revival, but it would bring more than just one way to revive the race. Not sure how hard it would be on a coding scale, but it doesnt sound to hard in my head... then again coding is always harder than it sounds.

[Drone and Plasteel]

Maybe making it so that a gripper could hold plasteel would be useful, that way we could actualy repair the walls without it causing too much issues with just spawning infinite plasteel then? Not sure if that would cause balance issues though as I am not really the best at balancing things.

[Drone and Plasteel]

Yea they cant hold plasteel, just tested it

[Drone and Plasteel]

Ah makes sense on the abuse part, ill have to try the gripper though as I don't think they work to pick up plasteel but dont remember too well

[Drone and Plasteel]

As a drone you can not repair reinforced walls, so when they break you have to replace them with normal walls, this can be a problem in situations like when the brig has been blown up, because unless a normal engineer comes by it will be weaker from then on. I think drones should get plasteel to be able to repair things like that.

[Drone Engineering Comms?]

Ah for some reason It wasnt working for me but is now, wonder what that was about then, sorry about that

And yea they can see binary but cant speak there, only can speak in drone

[Drone Engineering Comms?]

I was wondering if it would be possible to add the engineering comms to drones. Since engineering will say that something is broken and then a while later engineers will maybe get to it, I think it would be interesting if drones could see it too so they know where more breaks to the station are.
