More Dangerous Mindbreaking

[VMSolidus]

Description

Somehow people weren't getting the memo despite the HORRIFYING texts associated with Mindbreaking, that doing so is an almost comically evil act akin to murder. So this PR fixes that. By making it even more obvious.

Changelog

🆑

• add: Added a server option for "Scarier Mindbreaking". Mindbreaking now irreversibly converts a player character into a non-sentient NPC.
• fix: Mindbreaking now only works on Psychics.

will this be on or off by default, since LSD + hypospray is able to really fuck up balance (just a tad)

Just don't take the Latent Psychic trait.

hm. maybe it should, but at the same time it'd be hilarious to instantly get ghosted for having the trait

It's better this way, because then you have to doubt whether or not the person you're talking to is an "NPC" or not IC, giving you more leeway to abuse them (killing a mindbroken person at best counts as animal abuse)

It would be even funnier if we rebased the NPCConversationSystem from Nyano, and/or make the mindbroken NPCs talk using ChatGPT2.

this confuses me, have we tested what actually happens if someone has the instant mindbreak trait? will it insta-ghost? will it let them keep playing?

It doesn't lmao. It doesn't even call this function.

Please set default CVar value to false. This is an extreme change.

Just use the free Groq API and something like Llama3 on the server, I could probably help you write the code for it. It'd be funny!!

Make it false a lot of servers will not enjoy this change if they update and they dont know about it, this should be toggled true on server choices.

mindbreaking's punishment should be changed if this is merged, as it basically kills them (and might be prevention of revival?)

I completely forgot this DeltaV feature even exists lmao. Yea mindbreaking people on EE is not like mindbreaking people on DeltaV. The design intention behind it is that mindbreaking someone is essentially a "Metaphysical" form of murder, and thus should be reserved only as a capital punishment, or as Self-Defense in the case of being attacked by someone with psionic powers.

yeah what im saying is just "this is literal murder, and should be treated as such"

[RustedBR]

Isn't this, for the player, the same thing as getting sacrificed as a psion?
