Greetings everyone, and welcome to our third Weekly update blog post!

We are always thrilled to share with you the exciting changes and developments we've been working on. As always, we want to remind you that this blog post serves as a mere highlight of what has been accomplished this week. If you want to delve deeper into the details and older changes, be sure to check out our Changelog page.

Without further ado, let's dive into some of the most exciting highlights of this week's update.

New dinosaur sprites
Sprites for Brachiosaurus, Saichania, and Stegosaurus have been added as neutral dinosaurs for the work in progress genetic system.
The gameplay revolves around extracting DNA from amber to create an egg that will hatch into a dinosaur. As a player, you will be responsible for feeding and caring for your dinosaur until it reaches maturity, at which point it will reveal any mutations it may have. However, be warned, some dinosaurs may have a bit of a bite, so caution is advised. Get ready to embark on a thrilling adventure as you bring these ancient creatures to life!


Janitor cart improvements


Janitor carts have had a nice little polish.
Enhancements include the ability to hold mops, helpful tooltips for new users to interact with the cart, dynamic sprite updates to reflect the state of the cart and some lovely splashing sounds to go with your cleaning.

Mind that some some work is needed to be in feature parity with the original SS13's janitor cart, but this is some good progress towards that goal.

Cloning damage and mutations!
Receiving cloning damage (after being cloned, for example) now has a 2.5% chance per body part of having a random mutation, whether positive or negative, when being cloned. This means that there is now a possibility that a player may emerge from the Cloner with different physical characteristics than before. This development has made the Cloner even more unpredictable, and highlights the need to be extra cautious when using this technology

Syringe Inject Time

We have received feedback from players about the instantaneous nature of injecting another player with a syringe. In response, we have added a progress bar to the syringe injection process. The completion time for the bar will now depend on the level of armor the victim is wearing. Additionally, a warning message in red will display if a player is being injected by another player.

So no more murderous medic instantly filling your heart with salt when you are trying to kill him as a traitor and making your assasination attempt fail miserably.
