I think we can all agree that monkeys deserve more content than the corgis in this game.. I mean, who wouldn’t want a monkey to wear a backpack, a vest, a belt, or even a medal? I’m just BEGGING someone to add some more storage options and apparel for our silly monkey pals. Honestly, I don’t care if you need to research it in science or if you can just get it, all I want is A way to get it! OOK!!
Corgis themselves cannot wear backpacks, smart corgis can. Which are meant to be equivalent to crew.
afaik it is a balance concern, because a ghost role like a monkey should not have the same capabilities as a proper player.
Allowing them to wear a fanny pack at least would be nice tho.
Monkey gameplay is identical to playing a mime without the wall spell, I’ve never had a positive interaction with a monkey controlled by a player. Or a mime.
Monkeys should get the ability to communicate with some speech accent, only so people don’t have an excuse to wordlessly tide.
You cant cognizine a mime - but anyway being serious, I guess that is more server culture issue. For now, most of these animal/critter ghost roles don’t have unique gameplay steering players into some sort of gameplay, so if player didn’t thought of any gimick, they will just tide.
Besides invalidating the use of congizine, I doubt that alone would change much. Monkeys are not crew, so besides animal cruelity (sec gives warning at first attempt I believe) nothing stops you from killing some tiding noncognizined sentient monkey.
I guess to reduce the amount the number of tiding monkeys, all utility items should require normal crew intervention (equipping it), or at least monkey to be cognizined, getting dressed requires some skill.
