Remove Hydroponics Tray Ghost Role #20825

Closed EdenTheLiznerd closed 3 weeks ago

EdenTheLiznerd commented 11 months ago

I think I speak for a lot of people when I say I get excited at the number of ghost but get greeted to +12 hydroponic trays as a ghost role, it also does stop people from noticing the other ghost roles such as lone op or ninja

I dunno how other people feel about it but i do have to agree it's way too common

K-Dynamic commented 7 months ago

Either remove it or let us collapse/hide ghost roles

UbaserB commented 2 months ago

Thinking about it, there has still been some good roleplay with these hydroponics trays; especially new players. Making the role EXTREMELY rare may make this role wanted when it does pop up.

The reason it is so common and shows up in large groups is that it can be copied from one tray to another by clipping the mutated plant. The mutation chance itself is rare enough. So just stop the mutation from being copied when clipping plants.

that makes sense actually

I just checked the code and it should only be 2-3 lines that have to be changed. I can cook up a PR for this later.
