Rouny's Marine Corps 14

New update: Survivors, shotgun handfuls and the Gardener Drone strain

Added 2024-10-14 07:13:39 +0000 UTC

Survivors

Survivors spawn on the planet at round-start and must loot anything they can find if they hope to survive long enough to be rescued by the marines. You will also spawn with random gear but are guaranteed a flashlight in your survival pouch. Remember to turn it on!

This update also adds many missing weapons, magazines, materials, lootable corpses, and armor to our five-planet maps. Six survivor weapons have also been ported: the AR10 and 96FS by @Adam (Stacks), M16, MP5, MK45, and holdout pistol.

This is a very hard role to play that isn't expected to live most rounds.

This will only include one survivor type at launch, but its starting gear will still be properly randomized for each round. More to come soon.

Alongside this, doors and accesses have been updated so that CIC is no longer a walk-in clinic.

This includes an update to prying; doors will now properly use power from the APC in their area and are instantly pryable with a crowbar if unpowered. A gun with a bayonet attached can also pry them at a slower rate. With these two changes now ported, it is no longer possible for humanoids to pry a door with their bare hands, nor for a knife not attached to a gun to pry one.

This change also adds suicides, which can be done by alt-left-clicking yourself with a loaded gun or by right-clicking yourself while holding a loaded gun.

Suicides require a valid roleplay reason and will result in a ban otherwise.
An example of a valid scenario is suiciding as a survivor in a last-stand scenario, when it is clear that you will be captured by xenonids and there is no hope of fighting back.
Starting to suicide but canceling it will be treated the same way as an actual suicide.
An example of valid and invalid reasons will be listed in the guidebook once the update is live.

Survivors are also held to one more rule: they aren't allowed to rush the hive round-start. Doing so will result in a role-ban or game-ban. If the hive rushes you, however, you can defend yourself as the founding fathers intended.

Handfuls of shotgun shells

These are now implemented. You no longer have to carry whole shell boxes, and you will have much more flexibility regarding where you want to store your shells.

This also means that shotguns can't be reloaded with a shotgun shell box anymore, as they are regular storage with five handfuls of five shotgun shells each.

The large shotgun shell pouch has also been added. It is available to squad leaders, some command roles, and pilots. Requisitions also starts with one in their vendor.

Alongside this, the under-barrel shotgun attachment has been fixed. It now correctly one-shots resin and thick resin doors with buckshot and three-shots thick resin walls. Remember to attach one to your M54C if you are going breaching!

Magazine boxes have been added to these as well, by CyberTropic.

Gardener Drone strain

By crystalHex

This strain sacrifices its resin constructions and corrosive acid to grow various resin fruits, plant hardier weeds, and surge resin.

Resin surge allows you to speed up fruit growth, create temporary walls, and make existing resin walls temporarily nigh unbreakable.

The fruits have one of the following effects: instant healing, health/plasma regeneration, overshield, movement speed increase, passive recovery pheromones, and ability cooldown reduction.

Lurker invisibility fixes

By Rainbeon

Lurkers can now:

Manually toggle off their invisibility, which refunds 90% of the remaining time.
They can now attack structures and wide swings without losing invisibility, as long as they do not hit a marine.
They are also able to shove marines without losing invisibility.
They can no longer devour while invisible. Doing so de-cloaks them and refunds 50% of the remaining cloak time.
