What does this suggestion change/add/remove: This suggestion introduces several new mechanics to enhance the interactivity and complexity of SCP-409. These include dropping infective crystals (SCP-409-2) on the ground upon crystallization of infected individuals, new environmental interactions, additional gameplay elements, and improved containment procedures to make encounters with SCP-409 more dynamic and engaging.

Has something similar been suggested before? If so, why is your suggestion different?: While there have been suggestions focused on enhancing SCP-409’s infection mechanics, this proposal is unique in its approach. It integrates persistent environmental hazards, interactive elements, varied gameplay scenarios, and containment strategies, making SCP-409 encounters more immersive and challenging than previous ideas.

Possible Positives of the suggestion (At least 2):

  1. Enhanced Strategic Depth: The inclusion of SCP-409-2 crystals adds a layer of strategic complexity. Players must navigate their environment carefully to avoid these hazards, leading to more thoughtful and engaging gameplay.
  2. Improved Team Coordination: This mechanic promotes increased teamwork and communication among players. Coordinating efforts to identify and neutralize SCP-409-2 crystals will require players to work together closely, fostering a more collaborative and immersive experience.
  3. Increased Replay Value: By introducing varied environmental interactions and dynamic gameplay elements, this suggestion ensures that each encounter with SCP-409 feels unique, boosting the overall replay value of the game.
Possible Negatives of the suggestion:

  1. Increased Difficulty: The addition of infective crystals and other interactive elements may raise the game's difficulty level, potentially leading to frustration for some players, especially if the mechanic is not balanced properly.
  2. Resource Management: Implementing these new mechanics could necessitate additional tools or items for players to safely interact with or neutralize SCP-409-2 crystals. This might complicate gameplay and require extra development resources.
Based on the Positives & Negatives, why should this suggestion be accepted: This suggestion should be accepted because it introduces a fresh and engaging dynamic to the game. By integrating SCP-409-2 crystals, varied environmental interactions, additional gameplay elements, and improved containment procedures, the encounters with SCP-409 become more challenging and immersive. Although there are potential drawbacks, such as increased difficulty and resource management, the overall enhancement to the game's depth and player interaction makes this addition worthwhile. Balancing these new elements carefully will ensure that they enrich the game without overwhelming players, ultimately leading to a more compelling and enjoyable experience for everyone.

Additional Interactive Elements:

  1. Crystal Growth Zones: Introduce specific areas where SCP-409-2 crystals can grow and spread if not promptly neutralized. These zones can create evolving challenges and hotspots that players must monitor and manage.
  2. Anti-Crystallization Devices: Introduce gadgets or items that players can use to temporarily halt or reverse the crystallization process. These devices can provide strategic advantages and create new gameplay opportunities.
  3. Containment Breach Scenarios: Create scenarios where SCP-409 breaches containment and players must work together to recontain it. These events can be timed or triggered under specific conditions, adding an element of urgency and teamwork.

im going to stay neutral I like the idea of making the scp realistic and spawning crystal but you must understand some people like to spread the infection and making it so the corpse of that person turns into a crystal is basically a checkpoint for the minges, also e11 already have to deal with 008 and twenty different scp

I absolutely love this idea, seems like a fun SCP to try and contain. The only things that might lead to this being denied is development time and obviously the trolls. This SCP would need to be heavily restricted or monitored, as it seems highly contagious. But I really like the sound of it tbh.

Suggestion Denied

Hi @Dusk,

Thanks for taking the time to make a server suggestion.
The Content Team has chosen to deny your suggestion due to the following reasons.

Reason:
The idea sounds good on paper, however a more interesting breach would just promote people mass breaching. Also we can look into changing 409 in the future to enhance its usage for testing.

Your suggestion will now be locked and marked as denied.​
