Remove clowns

[Claudussy]

I'm trying to find a mod that removes all clown related content in the game, and maybe even replacing it with something serious. Clowns were funny the first time I started up the game, now they just ruin immersion.

mad because bad, maybe try taking a shower more then once a month or something, you could also try silent hunter 3 or U-boat if you want super cereal immersion

Just sell any clown outfits you find and ignore their vendors/quests. It's really not hard to ignore them entirely, and dissuading potential clowns is easy if the Captain and Security Officers are anti-clown. The only downside is you lose an entire Assistant talent tree, but it's not really a powerful one so nbd.

The reasons clowns have a major standing is unknown but they got popular in ss13 for them usually being the most intresting players. Insane unhinged agents of chaos who's motives are unknown they simply heed the call of the bike horn.

There is nothing unknown about it, it's the perfect streamer bait and low effort meme generation tool. Why bother doing something interesting or coming up with something genuinely funny when you can just break stuff and the yell HONK?
In SS13 they were popular because it gave morons the perfect excuse for trying to ruin everyone's game and then whine that "but I'm only playing my character".
I'm actually fine with them being an ingame meme, since apparently a lot of people like the lolrandom "humor" they provide but as an actual faction they feel just plain stupid and immersion breaking.

agreeee clown stuff weak

and tbh most the talent trees are bad need redo all talent trees

Barotrauma's world when you really look into it is full of all sorts of weird and wacky things. You have psychics giving readings from their college dorm room, cooking shows run by an old lady who is questionably human, people taking in murderous creatures like Mudraptors as pets and acting like they wouldnt hurt a fly, dogecoin, clown boybands, underwater Netflix, and many more. The story magazines give this sense that Europa is equally dreary and absurd. I'm of course not saying that you absolutely need to read the magazines or anything, I just think the magazines demonstrate very well that clowns and other absurdities are a core part of the games world. It's equal parts grim political and apocalyptic struggle and psychedelic circus. I do think there is a very fair argument to be made that the developers could have done better to demonstrate this concept of Europa better in the actual game. Its so very apparent in the magazines but theyre locked behind the Supporter Pack. The story content in 1.0 has done a better job with all the magazine connections and the humorous news headlines on the map screen, but it does not lean as hard into the dark humor and absurdity that the magazines do.

Admittedly I havent finished the 1.0 Honkmother campaign, but having monitored the games discord during development its extremely clear the developers put far more work into them then just making whatever would be the most meme-y. The writers did research into things like Buddhist zen practices and the social theory of The Fool when developing the faction's 1.0 story. (Cant remember what the theory is called or who made it, but the TLDR is that society needs fools to remind them to not always take themselves so seriously)

I got nothing on the actual assistant subclass, that stuff is just kinda weird

Have an open mind. It's a bleak world on Europa, the seas could use some laughter :)

[FRY THE BRAIN]

Be careful, because in Europa, Clowns Remove You!

I'd much prefer the clown faction to be some sort of optional side quest, a failed faction (which it is effectively in the lore, depending on which parts you read) that's almost non-existent now, just the odd down and out clown to be found on stations here and there. Maybe there's a clown hide-out, a place of legend spoken of only in whispers, a once glorious bastion of fun and worship to the Honk Mother, that the players could choose to go on a mission to rediscover, rejuvenate the clown faction, make it reborn into something new and more relevant / useful to the current Europa, and find really cool and unique items there (developed by the clown faction's secret labs long ago). Make this optional, if the player doesn't choose to start the quest then there are just a few odd single clowns in the game on stations (maybe some in wrecks that contain clues for the quest), there is no clown tree on the Assistant class unless this quest is started, and those clown skills only become available as progress is made on the clown quest. Never likely to happen, I know, but that would be a great way to introduce this sort of thing in the game, and could apply not only to clowning but a way to unlock other traits, skills, talents, and items too.

you could just rp being a racist clown hater and throw every clown out of the airlock. customize your ship so clown spawns dont get id cards so they cant access anything. go the whole nine yards on immersion instead of removing something from the world you don't like with a button click so u can feel like a nice guy.

war with the clowns might be more fun then u think.

*cough, honk, racist, cough*

NOT THE GAME IM LOOKING FOR

I think the idea that the remnants of earths culture has been adopted into a religion is very original and a great feature to take seriously. It adds a creepily bizarre world building to the game that helps make it for me personally.

Good for you. Not what I want.

Hello OP,

I see you're suffering from a severe case of Coulrophobia, while also showing symptoms of IHF (I Hate Fun) Syndrome.

To help you overcome your fears, I have taken the liberty to find you a video to help you in your therapy.

It is recommended you watch this at least 4 times a day. I'd recommend you reward yourself with a bottle of ethanol afterwards.

引用自 zniarB ehT zyrF：

Lol, the Honkmother is always watching, especially the overly serious lot. You'd be surprised how much the Clown fits into everything. Eventually you will find a clown in every game you play, only if you're not looking. But seriously, the honk runs deep. I only wish I could meet you all in game and show you what a real Clowncolyte can do. I hope the Clown class gets overhauled and becomes overpowered just to make everyone have a lot more fun. Clown Captains are the best captains because they don't concern themselves with missions, only that everyone has a good time. Its what makes a dark and dreary game like this one all the better. It helps build morale, and keeps everyone from throwing themselves out of the airlock due to abject boredom. I just said a prayer to Holy Honkmother that she sends her best Clowns to visit you all in your dreams so you will change your minds on how you feel about her chosen Honkers. You're welcome. Now accept the Clown, or else! :PhantasmalSkull:

These kinda comments are already too old and only give the impression of being copy-paste crap.

[HyenaMaster]

First you should get rid of Church of husk then. Your reason is kinda ..not good.

The clowns are obviously just to provide a twitch chat topic, and for boring streamers to milk for "it was really only remotely funny the first time" content.

Pretty much this. And in my case, my first clown sighting made me seriously think twice.
I was afraid I made a huge mistake, buying this, as it suddenly seemed more like a meme-game than anything else. Luckily I met mostly more serious-ish people after.
