Joan updated:

Adds protector holoparasites to traitor holoparasite injectors.

Protector holoparasites cause the summoner to teleport to them when out of range, instead of the other way around.

Protector holoparasites have two modes; Combat, where they do and take medium damage, and Protection, where they do and take almost no damage, but move slightly slower.

Explosive Holoparasites no longer teleport non-mobs when attacking, but have a higher chance to teleport mobs.

Explosive Holoparasite bombs no longer trigger on their summoner or any other parasites their summoner has.

Ranged Holoparasites no longer have nightvision active by default. It can still be toggled on.

Made some feedback text more obvious

Fixed being able to duplicate the bee holder object, this was not exploity, just weird

Fixed being able to put two (or more) queens in the same apiary

It now takes and uses 5u of a reagent to give a bee that reagent

Removed unused icon file

Ricotez updated:

The default white ghost form now has directional sprites.

The default white ghost form now also has (your) hair! Here's how it works.

If you ghost from a body, you'll get the hair from that body. If it has hair.

If you hit Observe, you'll get the hair from the character you had active in your setup window. If they had hair.

This only works with the default white ghost form right now (because the other forms have the wrong shape or lack directional sprites), and with human bodies since they're the only ones that have hair. Sorry lizards and plasmamen! You'll get your turn next time.

A new preference called Ghost Accessories. This lets you configure if you want your ghost sprite to show both hair and directional sprites, only directional sprites or just use its original default version without directional sprites.

A new preference called Ghosts of Others. This preference is clientside and lets you configure how other ghosts appear to you: as their own setting, as the form they chose but without any hair or directional sprites, or as the simple white ghost sprite if you're sick of those premium users with their rainbow ghosts.

The layout of the ghost preference buttons has slightly changed. The old Choose Ghost Form and Choose Ghost Orbit are now a part of Ghost Customization, which also contains the new Ghost Accessories button. Clicking Ghost Customization will send you directly to Ghost Accessories if you don't have premium. The Preferences tab now also contains the Ghost Display button, which lets you configure how other ghosts appear to you.

Fixed a bug where the toggles for Ghost Accessories and Ghosts of Others in the Preferences menu wouldn't save your preference update to your save file.

Renamed the "Ghost Display Settings" preference toggle button to "Ghosts of Others", so it fits with the name the preference has everywhere else.

TehZombehz updated:

Paper sacks are now craftable by tablecrafting with 5 sheets of paper.

Comes in 5 different designs: Use a pen on a paper sack to change the design.

Certain paper sack designs can be modified with a sharp object to craft a (creepy) paper sack hat.

RemieRichards updated:

BEES

Hydroponics can now manage bee colonies, bees produce honeycombs that can be grinded to obtain honey, a decent nutriment+healing chemical

Hydroponics can inject a queen bee with a syringe of a reagent to alter her DNA to match that reagent, meaning all honeycombs produced will contain that reagent in small amounts

Bees with reagents will attack with that reagent

Xhuis updated:

Alcohol has received multiple tweaks.

Drunkenness will now be displayed on examine as long as the target's face is not hidden, ranging from a slight flush to being a completely drunken wreck. This also helps to measure alcohol poisoning, although the appearance will remain for thirty seconds after the alcohol leaves the imbiber's bloodstream.

Alcohol poisoning now has different effects. It begins with standard things such as confusion, dizziness, and slurring, but eventually escalates to constant vomiting, blacking out, and toxin damage.

Drinks now have a wide variety of alcoholism. Grog is barely a drink whatsoever, for instance, but Manly Dorf will completely floor you with too much consumption. Note that drinks based off of whiskey and vodka are the hardest, whereas beer and wine are the softest.

The speed of alcohol poisoning has been slightly reduced.

Some drinks have received unique effects. Experiment!

A new base alcohol joins the lineup! Absinthe has been added, and is very strong.

Whiskey Sour, made with Whiskey, Lemon Juice, and Sugar, simply expands the existing whiskey-based lineup.

Fetching Fizz, made with Nuka-Cola and Iron, will pull all nearby ores in the direction of the imbiber.

Hearty Punch, made with Brave Bull, Syndicate Bomb, and Absinthe, will provide extreme healing in critical condition.

Bacchus' Blessing, made with four of the most powerful alcohols on the station, is over three times stronger than any other alcohol on the station. Consume in small amounts or risk death.

Adds lightning holoparasites, which have medium damage resist, a weak attack, have a lightning chain to their summoner, and apply lightning chains when attacking targets.

Lightning chains shock everyone nearby, doing low burn damage. This is excluding the parasite and summoner; chains will shock enemies they're attached to.

Holoparasites can now smash tables and lockers.

Added deadly ash storms to mining.

Added slightly deadlier variants of mining mobs to lavaland, with sprites done by my girlfriend.

Added portable survival capsules to mining equipment lockers. Don't forget these, or you might get caught out by a storm. You may purchase more at the venders.

Added randomly loaded ruins to mining. These maps contain new and unique items not seen elsewhere in thegame. There are around a dozen of them added with the "release" of lavaland, though I plan for many more.

Some ruins contain sleepers which allow you to spawn as various roles, such as survivors of a shuttle crash stranded in the wilderness. You can find these sleepers in the orbit list.

You can now fly the abandoned white ship to lavaland.

Removed limit on bomb cap of 32,64,128, it can now go to the MOON.

Minimap generation is now a config option that defaults to off so coders don't have to wait for it to generate to test their code, server operators should note that they need to enable it on production servers that want minimap generation.

if you find any things that still lag, please report them to MrStonedOne for lag removal.

I'm gonna take this time to shill out that, Lummox JR, byond's only dev, coded the tool that made this change possible, he lives off of byond membership donations, if you like the lag removal, become a byond member or at least throw 5 bucks byond's way for doing this.

Feel free to ask for bomb cap removals when solo antag, but remember, the later in the round it is, the more likely you'll get it.

PKPenguin321 updated:

Scooters and skateboards have been added.

Use rods to make a scooter frame. From there, apply metal to make wheels, creating a skateboard. Apply a few more rods to make a full scooter. You can also use tablecrafting to create them, their recipes can be found under the Misc. category.

The overminds can, until they have placed a blob core, move to any non-space, non-shuttle tile.

If the overminds fail to place a blob core within a time limit, it will be automatically placed for them at a random blob spawnpoint.

The time before the overmind automatically places the core is slightly lower than the previous average time it'd take a blob to burst.

Arm cannon implants are now actually implanted into the arms, not into the chest.

Arm cannons have an action button again.

Heart removal is no longer instakill. It puts you in condition similar to heart attack instead. You can fix it by installing a new heart and applying defibrillator if it wasn't beating.

There is now a chance to recover some of the internal organs when butchering aliens or monkeys.

A new organ - lungs. When removed, it will give you breathing and speaking troubles.

Draining Spikes, which is reddish pink and does medium brute damage, and drains blood from targets.

Shifting Fragments, which is tan and does medium brute damage, and shifts position when attacked.

Flammable Goo, which is reddish orange and does low burn and toxin damage, and when hit with burn damage, emits a burst of flame. It takes more damage from burn, though.

Poisonous Strands, which is lavender and does burn, fire, and toxin damage over a few seconds, instead of instantly.

Adaptive Nexuses, which is dark blue and does medium brute damage, and reaps 5-10 resources from unconscious humans, killing them in the process.

Confused about what the chemical you're fighting does? Look at https://tgstation13.org/wiki/Blob#Blob_Chemicals

Blob mobs now heal for 2.5% of their maxhealth when blob_act()ed, basically whenever they're on blobs near a node or the core.

Blob expansion no longer has a chance to fail inversely proportional with the expanding blob's health. Blobs still, however, expand at roughly the same rate as they do currently.

Adds five new blob chemicals.

Adds Penetrating Spines, which is sea green and does brute damage through armor. The damage can still be reduced by bio protection.

Tweaks some of the existing blob chemicals slightly.

Sporing Pods can produce spores when killed by damage less than 21, from less than 20. This means lasers can produce spores.

Reactive Gelatin has a slightly higher maximum damage and will attack the nearby area when hit with brute damage projectiles, from just when attacked by brute damage in melee.

Sorium, Dark Matter, and the new Cyclonic Grid will not throw mobs with the 'blob' faction, such as blobbernauts and spores.

Kor updated:

The chaplain can now transform the null rod into a holy weapon of his choice by using it in hand. Each one has different strengths and drawbacks.

Tesla balance changes

Tesla will now require increasingly more energy to trigger new orbiting balls. First ball comes with 32 energy (down from 300), fourth requires 256 (down from 1200), and so on and on, doubling with each new ball. Balls after 7 are increasingly harder to get than before, whereas balls before 6 are easier to get.

MULTIBOLT IS BACK!

Be warned that in multibolt all but 1 primary bolt now have a random shocking range, meaning they may still target a close human over a far away grounding rod as the rod may be out of range.

Power output of tesla massively dropped, it should no longer put out almost twice the power of a stage 3 singulo with maxed collectors without any balls, you'll need at least 3 balls for that now.

Tesla can now lose power, causing ball count to drop. Tesla will never shrink out of existence, just lose its balls.

Tesla is now more likely to head in the direction of the thing it last zapped.

PKPenguin321 updated:

Chameleon Jumpsuits now have slight melee, bullet, and laser protection.

The armor values for security helmets, caps, and berets have all been brought in line. Consequently, helmets and berets are a teeny bit better, and caps now have the slight bomb protection that the other two had.

phil235 updated:

The vision updates for mobs are now instantaneous (e.g. you don't have to wait one second to see again when removing your welding helmet)

Your vision is now affected when you're inside something or viewing through a camera. You can no longer see mobs or objects when ventcrawling (unless you have xray for example), an xray user viewing through a camera do not see through walls around the camera. On the other hand, cameras with an xray upgrade let you see through walls. Unfocused camera now give you the same effect as when you are nearsighted. Being inside closets, morgue container and disposal bins give you some vision impairments.

The ability to toggle your hud on and off (with f12) is now available to all mobs not just humans.

Kor updated:

Nuke ops can purchase sentience potions for 4tc

MMMiracles updated:

Bulldog now starts with stun-slugs instead of its usual 60-brute slugs. Slugs now cost 3 TC instead of 2.

Most SAW ammo has been slightly buffed in damage so maybe it'll be worth buying now along with a slight cost decrease for the gun itself.

Incen shells for the shotgun now apply extra firestacks on hit so it actually sets people on fire instead of turning them into a light show.

Incen rounds for the SAW now leave a fire trail similar to the bulldog's dragonsbreath round.

Nuke Ops now have the ability to purchase breaching shells, a weaker variant of the meteorslugs that can still push back people/airlocks/mechs/corgis.

Redid how objectives are assigned, they're now a lot more random in terms of what you can get.

Storage Blobs are gone; they were effectively a waste of resources, as there are more or less no points at which you should need them, unless you were winning excessively hard.

Blobs can no longer burst early; instead, the button gives some early help and serves to indicate you're a blob.

Blobbernauts now poll candidates instead of grabbing a candidate immediately. The poll is 5 seconds, so that there's no significant pause between making a blobbernaut and it doing stuff.

Incoming5643 updated:

A number of popular stunning spells have undergone balance changes. Note that for the most part the stuns themselves are untouched.

Lightning Bolt Changes:

You can no longer throw the bolt whenever you want, it will fire itself once it's done charging.

Getting hit by a bolt will do a flat 30 burn now, as opposed to scaling with how long the wizard spent charging the spell. Unless said wizard made a habit of charging lightning bolt to near maximum every time this is a buff to damage.

Every time the bolt jumps the next shock will do five less burn damage.

Lightning bolts can still jump back to the same body, so the maximum number of bolts you can be hit by in a single casting is three, and the maximum amount of damage you could take for that is 60 burn.

Magic Missile Changes:

Cooldown raised to 20 seconds, up from 15

Cooldown reduction from taking the spell multiple times raised from 1.5 seconds to 3.5 seconds. Rank 5 magic missile now has a cooldown of 6 seconds, down from 9, and is effectively a permastun.

Cooldown raised to 50 seconds, up from 40

Cooldown reduction from taking the spell multiple times raised from  7.75 seconds to 10 seconds. Rank 5 time stop now has a cooldown of 10 seconds, up from 9, and is effectively a permastun.

MrStonedOne updated:

Many toxins are now more or less efficient.

The descriptions of many reagents have been made more accurate.

New poison: Heparin. Made from Formaldehyde, Sodium, Chlorine, and Lithium. Functions as an anticoagulant, inducing uncontrollable bleeding and small amounts of bruising.

New poison: Teslium. Made from Plasma, Silver, and Black Powder, heated to 400K. Modifies examine text and induces periodic shocks in the victim as well as making all shocks against them more damaging.

Two Chemistry books have been placed in the lab. When used, they will link to the wiki page for chemistry in the same vein as other wiki books.

16 November 2015

Gun Hog updated:

The Combat tech requirement for Loyalty Firing Pins has been reduced from 6 to 5.

Joan updated:

Plasmamen can now man the bar.

Bluespace anomaly will occasionally teleport mobs away from it in a small radius.

Vortex anomalies will sometimes throw objects at nearby living mobs.

Gravitational anomalies will now properly throw objects at nearby living things.

MrStonedOne updated:

Away mission loading will no longer improperly expand the width of the game world to two times the size of the away mission map.

This should also improve the speed of loading away missions, since the game doesn't have to resize the world

Revenant ability costs tweaked; Defile now costs 40 essence to cast, Overload Lights now costs 45 essence to cast, and Malfunction now costs 50 essence to cast.

Nanotrasen listens! After numerous complaints and petitions from Security personnel regarding energy weapon upkeep, we have authorized the construction and maintenance of your station's weapon rechargers. As an added bonus, we have also provided a more modular design for the devices, allowing for greater recharge rates if fitted with a more efficient capacitor!

Added Diagnostic HUDs! They can be used to view the health and cell status of borgs and mechs. Silicons have them built in, Roboticists get two in their locker, and the RD's hardsuit has one built in.

Incoming5643 updated:

The number of roundstart head revolutionaries nows depends on the roundstart security force as well as the roundstart heads

The maximum number of head revs is 3, the minimum is 1. If there is fewer than three station heads there will never be more than that number of head revs at roundstart. For every three vacant security roles (Head of Security/Warden/Security Officer/Detective) at roundstart the number of starting head revs will be reduced by 1.

Head revolutionaries can be gained during play if the security/head roles are filled. They are drawn from existing revolutionaries.

Added dental implant surgery. While targeting the mouth drill a hole in a tooth then stick a pill in there for hands free later use.

Kor updated:

Added an experimental control console for Xenobiology. Ask the admins if you'd like to try it out. It may not work on maps other than Box if they have renamed the Xenobiology Lab.

Injecting blood into a cerulean slime will yield a special one use set of blueprints that will allow you to expand the territory your camera can cover.

Kor and Remie updated:

Completing the frame with 5 glass sheets creates a mirror that will reflect lasers at a 90 degree angle.

MMMiracles updated:

30 October 2015

Incoming5643 updated:

Slimepeople can now split if they contain 200 units of slime jelly, and slimepeople will now slowly generate slime jelly up to 200 units provided they are very well fed. Split slimepeople are NOT player controlled, but rather the original slime person can swap between the two mobs at will. If one of the slimepeople should die under player control, the player won't be able to swap back to their living body. Splitting only creates a new body, any items you have on you are not duplicated.

Slimepeople now take half damage from sources of heat, but double damage from sources of cold. Lasers good, Space bad.

29 October 2015

Kor updated:

Slightly changed what items spawn on the captain vs in his locker, hopefully saving some annoying inventory shuffle at roundstart.

28 October 2015

Tkdrg updated:

Added a Ghost On-screen HUD. It can be toggled using the "Toggle Ghost HUD" verb. Thank you Razharas for the sprites!

Ghosts can now use the "Toggle med/sec HUD" verb to see the basic secHUD (jobs only) or the medHUD of humans.

26 October 2015

Fox P McCloud updated:

Standardizes the slowdown of most spacesuits to 1 as opposed to 2.

Incoming5643 updated:

48x48 pixel mode (x1.5 zoom) has been added to the Icons menu (top left). While playing in 32x32 or 64x64 will still provide a clearer looking station, for those of us with resolutions that fall into the gap between the two zooms this can provide a more consistant looking station than stretch to fit.

96x96 pixel mode (x3 zoom) has also been added for our players who enjoy looking at spacemen on their 4k monitors at a crisp and consistent scale.

The lich spell has been subjected to some gentle nerfing. When you die a string of energy will tie your new body to your old body for a short time, aiding others in determining your location. The duration of this beam scales with the number of deaths you've avoided.

Additionally the post revival stun now also scales in this way.

The spell will also fail if the item and the wizard don't share the same z level, though the nature of space means the odds of the item (or the wizard) looping around back to the station is pretty high.

The spell is still really good.

25 October 2015

Incoming5643 updated:

The spell Charge has been added to the spellbook. It can be used to extend the life of magic and energy weapons and even reset the cooldowns of held wizards! It cannot reset your own cooldowns.

The exploit that allowed you to use the staff of healing on yourself by suicide has been fixed.

You can now selectively mute non-admin players from OOC with the Ignore verb in the OOC tab.

Tkdrg updated:

Added chainsaws. They can be tablecrafted using a circular saw, a plasteel sheet, some cable coil, and a welding tool. Don't forget to turn it on!

24 October 2015

Kor updated:

The friendly gold slime reaction now spawns three mobs.

phil235 updated:

Changed the effects of alcohol to be more realistic. The effects of alcohol now appear twice as fast. Drunkenness now scales with how much alcohol is in you, not how long you've been drinking. This means drinking very little but continuously no longer makes you very drunk, or confused/slurring for a long time or give you alcohol poisoning. The dizziness and slurring effects now properly scale with how drunk you are (and dizziness is generally more pronounced).

23 October 2015

Incoming5643 updated:

Syndicate bomb payloads will now detonate if set on fire long enough. Note that the casings for the bombs is fireproof, so if you want to set fire to a bombcore you'll need to remove it from the case first (cut all wires, then crowbar it out). A reassurance from our explosives department: it is, and always has been, impossible to detonate a syndicate bomb that isn't ticking with wirecutters alone.

Xhuis updated:

Geiger counters have been added and are obtainable from autolathes and EngiVends. They will measure the severity of radiation pulses while in your pockets, belt, or hands. One can scan a mob's radiation level by switching to Help intent and clicking on it. These counters never really discard the radiation they store, and rumor has it this can be used in nefarious ways...

When a mob is impacted by radiation, the radiation is now relayed to all items on the mob.

19 October 2015

AnturK updated:

Handheld T-Ray Scanners now detect critters in pipes.

Nanotrasen loves recycling! In the highly unlikely occasion that your space station accumulates gibs, scoop 'em up and bring them to chemistry to recycle into soap, candles, or even delicious meat product!

L3 biohazard closets now contain bio-bag satchels for the safe collection of biowaste products, such as slime extracts.

16 October 2015

MrStonedOne updated:

Added a reconnect option to the file menu. This will allow you to reconnect to the game server without closing and re-opening the game window. This should also prevent another byond ad from playing during reconnections.

Xhuis updated:

Gun Hog updated:

Nanotrasen's research team has released a new, high tech design for Science Goggles, which previously did nothing! They new come fitted with a portable scanning module which will display the potential research data gained from experimenting with an object. Nanotrasen has also released drivers which shall enable the prototype hardsuit's built in scan visor.

Supporting this new design, Nanotrasen has seen fit to provide blueprints for Science Goggles to the station's protolathe.

Kor updated:

Gang implanters now only break implants/deconvert gangsters, meaning you will have to use a pen to convert them afterwards.

An important function, accessible via alt+click, has been restored to the detectives hat.

When Nar-Sie is created, they now use the old sound effect.

Xhuis updated:

All instances of autorifles have been removed from Security.

After searching through the Sleeping Carp's ancient monastery in deep space, more secrets have been uncovered of their traditional fighting techniques.

Members of the Sleeping Carp gang are now able to deflect all ranged projectiles.

In response to complaints about rogue drones, Nanotrasen engineers have allowed factory resets on all drones by simply using a wrench.

Central Command reminds drones to immediately retreat, if possible, when a law override is begun. Not doing so may anger the gods and incur their wrath!

Some virus symptoms that had no messages now have them.

The spell won't begin to recharge until the hand attack is either used or returned. Additionally these changes mean you can no longer use these spells while stunned or handcuffed. As a suggestion remember that the mutate spell allows you to break out of cuffs very easily, and warping abilities will keep you from getting cuffed to begin with!

Ricotez updated:

Added two categories of mutant bodyparts for humans with the same system that lizards use: ears and tails. Right now only admins can edit these.

Updated the system that checks for which jobs your character qualifies to be species-dependant. At this moment you won't notice any differences, but in the future coders can use this to be more specific about which jobs a species is allowed in under which circumstances.

Added one option to both categories, taken from the kitty ears: a cat tail and cat ears.

Added a new button to the VV menu drop-down list for admins: Toggle Purrbation. Putting a human on purrbation will give them cat ears and a cat tail, and send them the message 'You suddenly feel valid.' Using the button a second time removes the effects.

Adding categories for tattoos and scars is in the works. (Read: I need sprites!)

oranges updated:

Engineers in nanotrasen's safety equipment department announced the release of a new and improved version of the X25 taser trigger, previous triggers, which suffered from a long line of misfire problems were recalled enmasse.

Cumulative armour damage resistance is now capped at 90%, you will now always take at bare minimum, 10% of the incoming damage.

Added a system for Armour Penetration to items, it works by temporarily (It does NOT damage the armour or anything) reducing the armour values by the AP value during the attack instance.

The formula for AP is Armour-ArmourPenetration = AdjustedArmour and AdjustedArmour is used for all the remaining calculations instead of Armour (Eg: 80 Melee - 15 AP = 65 Melee).

The Ninja's Energy Katana has 15 AP, Xenomorphs have an inbuilt AP of 10.

Revenants will no longer share spawn points with space carp and will spawn in locations like the morgue and prisoner transfer center.

Revenants can no longer cross tiles covered in holy water.

Revenants have a new ability called Defile for 30E. It will cause robots to malfunction, holy water over tiles to evaporate, and a few other effects.

Upon death, revenants will appear and play a sound before rapidly fading away and leaving behind glimmering residue as evidence of their demise.

This residue lingers with the essence of the revenant. If left unattended, it may reform into a new revenant. Simply scattering it is enough to stop this, but it also has high research levels.

Revenants now have fluff objectives as well as a set essence goal.

Revenanants will be revealed for longer when using abilities and also receive feedback on this revealing.

Revenants can now only spawn via random event with a specific amount of dead mobs on the station. The default for this is 10.

Buffed the Upgrade Turrets Malfunction ability. Turrets will now fire heavy lasers instead of simply shooting faster.

Nanotrasen has released an Artificial Intelligence firmware upgrade under the ID 41ST0L3MYB1K3. It contains drivers for interacting with all variants of exosuit technology, from the Ripley APLU design to even experimental Phazon units. Simply upload your AI to the exosuit's internal computer via the InteliCard device. Per safety regulations, the exosuit must have maintenance protocols enabled in order to remove an AI from it.

Malfunctioning AIs may wirelessly steal mechs via a new power, Mech Domination. For 30 CPU, a Malf AI may permanently upload itself to a mech, ejecting any pilots. Malf AIs will still lose if they leave the Z-level, and the Malf will be gibbed if the mech is destroyed - they cannot be carded out of the mech or shunt to an APC.

Incoming5643 updated:

Growing tired of reports of slain members, the Wizard Federation has cautiously sactioned the dark path of lichdom. Beware of the powerful lich who hides his phylactery well, for he is immortal!

The trick to defeating liches is to destroy either their body or their phylactery item before they can ressurect to it. The more a lich is slain the longer it will take him to make use of his phylactery and the more likely the crew is to catch him during a vunerable moment.

Due to the addition of proper liching, skeletons as a choosable race from magic mirrors has been discontinued. My apologies to the powergamers. A special admin version of the mirror that allows for skeletons has also been added to the code.

Miauw updated:

AIs have received several minor nerfs in order to increase antagonist counterplay:

AI tracking is no longer instant, it takes an amount of time that increases with distance from the AI eye, up to 4 seconds. The AI detector item will light up when an AI begins tracking.

A random camera failure event has been added, which will break one or two random cameras.

You can no longer keep tracking people that are outside of your camera vision.

Camera wires have been removed. Screwdriver a camera to open the panel, then use wirecutters to disable it or a multitool to change the focus.

You can now hit cameras with items to break them. To repair a camera, simply open the panel and use wirecutters on it.

Camera alerts now only happen after a camera is reactivated.

incoming5643 updated:

All modes now select their antagonists before job selection, this means that a player who prefers roles normally immune to being certain antagonists (implanted roles/silicons) can still have a fair shot at every antagonist roll they opt into. If they're selected they simply will not end up with an incompatible job.

As an example if someone loved to play Head of Security (humor me here) and had it set to high, and the only other jobs he had set were security officer at medium and botanist at low but he was selected to be a traitor, he would spawn as a botanist even if there ended up being no Head of Security.

Please give playing security another chance if you'd written it off because it affected your antag chances.
