iCogmind cannot attach visual processing units due to "business conflicts".

Your doppelganger spawns somewhere on each floor and roams around. It is hostile only with you.

Microsoft Cogmind, which can use faulty components. They are stuck to you like sticky parts and occasionally redo the bad effect that happened when you put them on. One drawback is that you need to reboot for updates every 1000 turns, but you get plenty of warning about this.

When a person says the game's worth only $5, refund the remainder and replace their files with a 2014 alpha so that theirs and only theirs is actually worth $5.

Oh man that is... quite an idea xD

For now I'll point them to POLYBOT-7, and if they go lower there's also the Cogmind 7DRL from 2012 :P

Reflective shield which reflects all projectiles back at enemies so you can walk through the complex while hostiles murder themselves.

This idea is actually awesome. :p

Perhaps ALL projectiles is a little far fetched (which on this thread is a good thing). I'd imagine it as deflecting with an x% chance depending on it's tier with an associated energy cost per reflection.  Possibly it could be limited to certain kinds of weapons as well, for instance only energy weapons or only kinetics. (deflecting missiles would be OP awesome!) I imagine it would also have only a small chance of deflecting directly back at the shooter (20% or something) and otherwise would act like a missed shot with them as target. So bullets would be ricocheting all over the place banging into machines and NCs and generally causing chaos (not a good idea with allies!).

So yeah, you failed, this idea is just too awesome for this forum thread.  ;D

OK, I guess I should think of a bad idea?

How about a portable fabricator? It takes 4 util slots and runs off matter in your inventory plus a f-ton of power and heat. You can wander the facility sucking up matter and giving birth to your very own swarmer army.  If the going get's tough you can always overload it and vomit lightning for a few glorious turns before the whole thing fries itself. Pretty cool eh?  :P

Acquiring the schematic for yourself so that you can build more cogminds. If they find a fabricator, they can hack it to build whatever they want until they get themselves locked out, including portable fabricators. The level will soon be overrun with cogminds wearing fabricators.

Telling your allies to enter the scanner. Because who doesn't want hero schematics? If that fails, they may get immobilized though.

A rocket chaos mode in which everyone gets a rocket launcher. Even the recyclers, who turn yellow when you shoot them.

A flying enemy with kinetic guns who can switch to treads while shooting you. Because you shouldn't be the only one with propulsion armor.

Heh, that's true, although you probably didn't hear about this yet but I think Beta 8 is removing propulsion armor for airborne bots ;)

I figured that, so I wanted to put the idea in while it still makes sense. Anyways, another idea:

If you lose your first 5 games in materials, you must enter a password to start your next game. The password is shown in any stream that makes it to the factory.

From the SCP foundation. At one time, they required you to complete a quiz before you started editing. One question on the quiz asked you what the password was and you had to enter their irc channel to find it.

The portable fabricators idea came from Reassembly and the rocket chaos mode came from Streets of Rogue.

You can now equip 2 Core Expanders before you exceed the slot limit.*






* You start with 1 slot fewer.

Why stop there? Cogmind begins with 1 slot and you can find 7 expanders scattered throughout the complex.

Add a dig dug zone in the caves, where walls fall southward when you dig out all the dirt below them. They crush objects in their path and explode enemies, derelict, and you.

Von Neumann type swarmers: they multiply in the presence of earth / doors / matter / dropped items.

Make von Neumann swamers drop randomly selected objects because nethack shouldn't be the only game with pudding farming.
