Seeing as this is currently what people who play chemist specifically sign up for I can imagine a number of them will not like this change. Some jobs are chosen by people because of the smaller amount of expected player interaction or the comfort of routine. Not saying it should or shouldn’t be changed, but saying some players won’t have their enjoyment lessened when the chemical dispenser gets removed is disingenuous.
This is anecdotal, I’ve seen shifts that contradict what you’re saying. But even if we assume it’s true that in general cargo does not prioritize medical, I think that when the chemical dispenser gets removed this meta will change.
There’s a distinction between getting upset at change in general and getting upset about specific changes. When considering early access we seem to agree about the former, but I think getting upset at the latter can still be reasonable.
If the Space Wizards Federation was a indie studio making a closed source game I’d agree. But instead it’s completely depended on what contributors feel like adding, changing or removing and what they have the time for. You decided to not make a PR, they’ve decided to make a PR changes a mechanic.
I don’t think this is equivalent seeing as games that hide behind early access aren’t free open source games. We’re not paying customers. The contributors don’t owe us more content, nor are they accountable to us. Apart from that I’ve heard people make the comparison that SS14 has about 10% of the content of a average SS13 server, and that game’s been in development for two decades. So I don’t think calling SS14 early access is a stretch.
Self-evident.
I only speak for myself here, but I don’t trust the community to make this game. I trust the community to speak up about what works and especially what does not work. I trust the people making the game to use this information to update the game. I don’t expect a customer at a restaurant to instruct the chef how to prepare a meal, that’s what the chef’s for. I do expect a customer to express themselves after the medium-rare steak they ordered was presented as shoe leather.

There is no hope for you because you want Wizden to be an anarchy server where people can do whatever they want without rules, be racist, sexually harass people and say slurs without getting in trouble.
That’s an interesting stretch of an attack.
You gotta be pretty desperate to bring up a completely separate issue from a completely separate thread just to have something ‘useful’ to say.
While my preference would be for an anarchy server, how is that remotely relevant to the topic of game mechanic reworks?
