2022 April Wiki Update: Happy (belated) April everyone, solid and consistent work this month, give yourselves pats on the back. Progress baby! As always, we've got a lot of work to do still. Keep writing those pages and helping me hit our development goals. Speaking of our 2022 development goals, we're really beginning to see some progress towards them. This month especially we've placed a special focus on expanding those portal pages and now expanding our wiki contributor resources. Even though I'm getting fucked exams, Buckle up for a funky fresh update! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Revision Requests & Changelog What needs to be done on the Wiki: Apparel needs to be expanded (We're doing such a great job y'all, keep it up) Starters Guide to Admin Tools needs to be updated (more admin stuff) Creating your own paracode server needs to be rewritten Telecommunications images need a once-over/fix Guide for beginners needs a once-over Guide to Regex needs to be expanded upon Singularity Engine is missing images and could do with a rewrite Karma System could do with a rework + it needs to be updated with the new UI & auto refund system Martial Arts is missing all other forms of martial arts such as Plasma Fist, Admin-Fu, etc Simple Mobs needs to be filled out with more simple mobs :D Heads Up Displays needs to be filled out with information about hydroponics huds Firearms ammo section needs to be finished, clarifications need to be made to guns on where to get them or if they're only admin-spawn Air Alarm needs to be reformatted (no level 1 headers) and cleaned up Guide to Atmospherics requires a rewrite, atmos shouldn't be as scary as it is, this article needs to FULLY explain atmospherics and walk the reader through the learning process rather than only throwing information at them Identifying Antagonists needs to be reformatted/rewritten Locations needs to be rethought out, now that we no longer use only the NSS Cyberiad, this page will have to be changed in both its structure, purpose, and styling. These Pages need to be written: Guide to Cleaning Guide to Command/Leadership Service Items Derelict Researcher Courtroom needs to be filled out Electrical Maintenance Needs to be filled out Meta and Delta location need to filled out and added(image files that is) Guide to Bug Fixing Guide to Making a PR Guide to TGUI Mechs Shuttles Station Economy User Interface Anomalies We need to go through all of our files and crosscheck them with the Goon .DMI file folder and apply the proper licenses other shit I can't be bothered to add or has been added since time of writing, see: Maintenance Panel Keep knocking out those revision requests mis compadres!

I'm always here to support and guide. Those of you who do not contribute (but still read this :D ) this is the perfect time to start learning and becoming a part of our awesome team. Soon enough it will be much easier to get in contributing, just you wait (or start now >:D) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2022 Development Goals - How we can/are meeting them! Alright lets revisit those development goals and see how they're cooking. Finish Every Portal Page - A.K.A Wiki Navigation So far we've been making progress. Most notably through the use of portal pages. These portal pages are the bridges between our main page and literally all knowledge on the wiki, they link together one topic and all articles pertaining to its topic. So far we have established three categories of portal pages: Contributor Portals, Game Mechanics Portals, and Department Portals. All Department, most contributor, and no game mechanics portals have actually been established. What we need to do is continue developing these and expanding them. It's pretty simple, just replicate the format of the other ones, I trust you!!! @ me if you need help or guidance. Current State of Portal Pages Job Portals General - FINISHED Service - FINISHED Supply - FINISHED Medical - WIP Security - WIP Engineering - WIP Research - WIP Command - WIP Antagonist - WIP Legal - WIP Special Role - NEEDS TO BE MADE AND ADDED TO NAVBAR Contributor Portals Wiki Contributor - WIP/FINISHED Github Contributor - WIP/FINISHED Technical Troubleshooting - WIP Hosting - NEEDS TO BE MADE Game Mechanics Portals New Player - NEEDS TO BE MADE Server Systems - Mobs - NEEDS TO BE MADE Game Objects - NEEDS TO BE MADE Game Rounds - NEEDS TO BE MADE Lore - NEEDS TO BE MADE Development of a Manual of Style This is a long-term project, I have made a lot more progress with it. I encourage y'all to suggest things but ultimately this falls upon me to write since it's setting the standards for our wiki writing. What you can do to help this, is start reading through them and learning how to edit articles using our standard format (it also has a couple essay-esque parts that assist with making them better for the reader). Current State of MOS: Typography - FINISHED Prose - WIP Content - FINISHED??? Layout - very WIP Templates - NEEDS TO BE MADE Files - WIP Accessibility - NEEDS TO BE MADE Wiki Team Improvement Big plans here this and next month! Here's what's done: Wiki Contributor Portal Partial Rewrite of Guide to Wiki Editing Here's what we're gonna do: Complete rewrite to our Guide to Wiki Editing Writing of an article for the sole purpose of telling contributors where and how they can contribute Looking into possible incentives for wiki contributors to encourage editing Content Expansion This has been an alright month for content expansion. As I said before a few pages have seen some increases in their quantity of content. You can all help out here by continuing to populate item/object/mob pages that are missing information. Additionally, rewriting or improving guides to be up-to-date and more user-friendly is always beneficial. Not my penultimate goal in May but I'd like to see contributors step in here and really take hold of an article as their own and completely bring it up to speed <3 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Conclusion if you were @'d on this post it means that you contributed meaningfully to our wiki in some aspect and I'd hope you are willing to stay around another month to keep doing so. If you want to get involved with editing the wiki and don't know how, @ me on the discord and I'll happily sit down and teach you stuff when I get the chance. I hope to continue doing this every month. Here is a syntax guide for those who are curious As always, thanks for the hard work everyone!

Gotta be careful when using pens because you can overdose on 'em. The overdose cap is very low so use them sparingly. They're incredibly useful to get back into the fight once you've been winded though so I like to carry about 3. Depends, if I'm rushing to do drake early I'll grab like 2 patches (burn). Sometimes I'll bring brute patches on non-fire fauna (which are 99.9% of them). Depending on the difficulty I will either fill several boxes lmfao or grab 3-5. You learn this with experience. They do! As well as broken bones. Legion cores will fix this. Nope. Other healing supplies that help early are pentetic acid, cooked donk pockets, and the cacti you can find on the floor! Be careful not to eat too much of any of these as you can overdose on the first two, and slow down from being fat on the last two. This is ok! Remember to go at your own pace, take time with learning the game, and don't rush if you don't feel comfortable. You're gonna die... a lot... but that's A-ok as long as you're not being a TOTAL hindrance; so do at least a little mining before you go and suicide bomb an ash drake.

Hello everyone! This guide is supposed to help those who think about buying parrots or already have one and want to educate further. Even if you do not have a parrot and you do not plan on getting one, please give it a read so maybe you can educate other people as well! Also I think most of these things will apply to other birds like canaries and such. Table of Content: I. Introduction For the clarity of everything: I am NOT a breeder, and I am NOT a parrot therapist. I am however a person that was unable to buy a parrot for a long time (since my parents did not allow me to) and I got my parrots only recently. I had like 10 years to do my research about how to treat parrots correctly and I think I know a thing or two. Everything I tell you here is from my personal experience or form other people's experience. If you want to learn more, please consult these people: I decided to make this guide just because I experienced ONE AGAIN what basically is animal abuse in a common pet store. So PLEASE if you do want to buy a parrot read this! About my parrots: Also if you want to have some fun check this out: https://myrightbird.com/quiz II. Where to buy a parrot This is what ultimately made me want to write this guide. Pet stores. TL;DR: You should NEVER buy a pet from the pet store. Explanation: So Quark where do I buy a parrot? PRIVATE BREEDERS! What do I mean by this? In Poland you can buy parrots from breeders on OLX (website) and similar places. Just write in googles "Parrots on sale <city>". You may also specify the race like cockatiels and such. Parrots that people sell there are: a) not wanted parrots - I would recommend against buying those b) Parrots that hatched within last year - buy those Some of these parrots are hand fed. That means they were fed food from the hand and so they can be expected to not be as scared of hands. If they were not hand fed, you have to train them to not be afraid. and this takes time. They are also WAY cheaper than parrots from pet stores. They are also probably kept in better cages. When you buy a parrot you should always ask to see their living place to make sure you're not buying it from someone who abuses them! I really hope this answers the question "Where do I buy parrots?". III. What cage to buy Cages are the living space of parrots. Even if you do plan on having the cage all the time open, the cage itself should be big. First thing you have to do is to check what bar spacing you need. If you plan on buying a specific race of the parrot, make sure you check the maximum bar spacing of the cage. You should NEVER buy a cage with bar spacing bigger than that. Why? There are videos of parrots literally exiting cage by slipping through the bars. This is: a) Dangerous because it can hurt itself and I think it should be obvious? b) Dangerous because if you lock your parrots in cage and open the window to let the fresh air in, your parrots might just slip out the cage and fly away c) Dangerous because they might slip out when you're not home and eat something toxic... The worst case scenario is when your bar spacing is big enough so they can fit their head through, but not their body. They will get stuck and freak out which leads to most likely strangling themselves. How big should the cage be? THE BIGGER THE BETTER! You should have cage big enough for your parrots to be able to fly from one perch to the other. If it's not then well... the cage is too small. The cage should also be big enough for your parrots to have freedom of movement. They should not be forced to sleep together on one perch. I personally recommend the cages that are on the wheels. They are easy to move during cleaning and are usually big enough for budgies and cockatiels. And for the LOVE OF GOD please CHECK the behavior of the parrot species you want to buy! You HAVE to understand that SOME parrot species can get EXTREMELY territorial during mating season and they will kill each other if they are both males of females. These parrots have to be kept in different cages! And each cage have to be big enough! Please do not use transport cages as normal cages! Pet stores sell small cages like 60x50x50cm and label them as "proper cage". No this is NOT a proper cage for a parrot. This cage is too small, and you should buy bigger cage than this... Parrots should not feel claustrophobic in their cage... III. What food to buy !PARROTS DO NOT EAT JUST SEED! If you feed just seed to your parrot, you are literally killing their liver! Parrots in the wild eat greens! Leaves,vegetables and such. When buying a parrot you have to ask the breeder what they feed their parrots. My parrot Sigma was being fed only seeds, and that is not healthy. Generally you should make CHOP. What is chop? Chop is well... chopped vegetables and greens. You take for example: broccolli, carrot and pepper and you chop it. My parrots like it well chopped into small bits (but other parrots might like it differently). You can freeze the chop in "doses" and unfreeze it everyday. You should generally change the chop at least twice in the morning and in the middle of the day. FYI: AVOCADO IS POISONOUS FOR PARROTS! DO NOT FEED THEM THIS! Please whenever you make chop, check if it's safe for parrots! Things that can be used for chop: Pet stores like to feed their parrots only seed. My girlfriend had a parrot 'Sherlock' that she fed only seeds and allowed him to eat human food. They died being 3 years old, so more or less 5 years too early. The cause of death was liver failure. She also has Watson, the parrot that has a permanent fat fold on her chest due to her being fed only seeds. I expect Watson to not live that long either due to the liver problems she might have. Another thing you should consider is.... pellets. Pellets are a small bits of food. There are different types of pellets for parrots. I would recommend Harrison's and Top's. They are both not colored (so no artificial coloring = is healthier) and they are organic. They are expensive yes, but parrots are expensive pets if you want them to be healthy and happy! With all of that said, what do I do with seeds? I use them for training. This is not covered in this guide, but parrots LOVE seeds. Seeds are fat, and parrots like it. You should give them some seed, but only as a training treat! If you do not feed them seeds daily, then they will do all kind of tricks for some seed! Training also makes your bond with them stronger. How do you convert from seed diet to chop and pellets? Just start with giving them pure seed, then start giving them a little bit of chop and pellets in their bowl. After some time (might be a few days or a month) start giving them more chop and pellets and less seed. Repeat till they eat just chop and pellets! It takes lot of time I know, but it's for the better of your parrot! Also if any of you say "But my parrot likes seed and they are happy with it" Yeah sure they are happy, and will be happy. Except when they die prematurely due to health problems (liver issues, heart attacks, etc.). That is quite mean from me I know, but that's the excuse my girlfriend gave me when I tried to convince her to stop feeding Sherlock pure seed and human food, and he died prematurely.... Disclaimer: On that note. If any of you like to feed ducks and swans bread... you are feeding them toxin. Ducks and swans do not eat bread, and their bodies are not made to digest it. In Poznan there's a park "Soladzki". There used to be 2 adult swans and 4 baby swans, but people fed them bread and they all died save the male swan.... This is just ensaddening. IV. What toys and accesories to buy First thing is perches. With your cage you will get a plain wooden perch. Just a plain piece of wood with no texture (sometimes it's plastic). This has to go. And you need to buy a proper perches. Proper perches look like normal sticks. Why are they better? The parrot has a different grip on the perch depending on where they stand. This is good. If you have just plain wood/plastic perches, the parrots will have exactly the same grip on it everywhere. This can make their feet hurt, and later make it problematic for them to grip onto something different than their perch. You don't want that. You can generally just to into the woods and pick up some stick there. but you HAVE TO MAKE SURE THE STICK YOU HAVE IS NOT TOXIC! I personally think it's better to be "safe than sorry" so I buy perches from net. In case you need to save some money and you want to gather sticks yourself, seaarch the guide how to process the sticks. You need to make them sterile (which includes but is not limited to - drying it out and heating it up in oven). Again: make sure the tree you have the stick from is NOT toxic. Another thing is: mirrors! No. Just no. I know someone who had a mirror next to their cage and I saw a parrot trying to feed their reflection. Why is that bad? Feeding another parrot is mating thing. If your parrot is EVER trying to feed anything it means they are hormonal. And being hormonal towards your own reflection can make your parrot sexually stressed. It may or may not result in them being territorial towards you or other parrots. Just PLEASE remove all mirrors from their cage and make sure there are no mirrors near their cage! Another thing: Rope toys! No. Again please no. I can get away with rope perches, but by parrots do NOT eat them. If your parrots eats some of this rope, it may cause blockade in their throat, and that means they will most likely starve to death or suffocate. So please avoid them if possible. Again: I can get away with this one, because I am REALLY monitoring the rope perches, sometimes daily, and I see that they do not eat it. I will agree tho, that I should move them, and maybe I will do so. I could also talk about less important things, but please do your own research with them. I am tired of writing this guide a little bit since it requires me to focus on it for like uh... 2 hours now? V. Closing statement Well... that's the end of this guide! Hope it was educational at least a little bit. If needed I can make "part 2" where I describe other things. If not, then that's fine! If you have any questions, feel free to ask them here. If you disagree please do so too! Am happy to talk! Again: this guide is made for people that just do not know things. Maybe they do not know what food parrots eat, or maybe they want to buy a parrot but they do not know that pet stores are garbage. PS: If any of you want to, I can make similar guide to taking care of dogs. I was living with a dogs since I was born, I was also attacked by one (and almost lost my left eye) so I know some things about it. My family has (inactive now) fundation dedicated to education about dogs. PS2: I am too tired to format the guide properly, sorry about it! I might come back to it later and recolor some things here! Have a good day everyone!

Just kidnap toob here every round and toss him at the megafauna, ez win
