Hi. Remember this part of the character pref menu?

A lot of the info there was outdated, misleading, or straight up wrong, so after a lot of writing and rewriting I present my big revision of this damned menu.

Why is this good for the game?

New players will now know plasmamen do in fact - not - have hearts (absolutely insane)

Testing

Humans

Ethereals

Preterni

(A little bit out of date since recent PRs, will fix)

IPCs

Vuulen

Ex'hau

Plasmamen

!!!

Polysmorphs

Phytosians

Wiki Documentation

A few months ago I already went ahead and rewrote the entire https://wiki.yogstation.net/wiki/Guide_to_races so it should already be up to date 👍👍👍

very pog
stuff i think you should include (you mightve included some of these already and i didnt notice lol):
ethereal: definitely mention unique blood type, maybe mention the higher brute and lower burn damage they take
moths: maybe mention they take more brute and burn, and that they tend to have stronger punches, but cant stun with them
lizard: mention unique blood type!! maybe also mention that their tails can grow back
plants: mention their weakness to burn damage, and all things temperature, and their weaker, non-stunning punches
preternis: mention unique blood type!!!!!! also maybe the stun & stamina mods, + all the stuff relating to temperature with them, and funny weaker but more often stunning (apparently) punches
polys: mention unique blood type!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and their resilience to brute and weakness to burn damage, as well as maybe their pressure resistance and slightly stronger punches

Good suggestions, the vuulek tail thing might be worth including. But the neat thing is we already have systems that include damage/temp weakness and resistances automatically (also unique blood types), so all good there.
