I dunno if it's specific dialouges, but some vanilla npc dialouges seem to contribute to the pre-artifact clue scan missions, perhaps some jokes that would serve as clues?

I feel like NPC specific jokes (Tenants, merchants, foundry NPCs, etc.) would bring a bit more specific humour depending on the NPC.

@cutieryan you are very right, I could figure out a few for them

@K. Yagi hmmm, perhaps. Might be able to come up with something.

I think a good addition would be more lines for merchants, because the one line every one of them say is very repetitive, it'd be nice to have some more, maybe joke-y lines added on top.

I have a few, they may already exist, however I am too lazy to check and/or wait for all of the variables to take place.

1: The classic
"Why did the chicken cross the road?, to [random]"
I dont code Lula (or c#), i code mc mods, however the idea is that "[Random]" is a preset variable, with different races having a higher weight for different answers (IE; "To get to the other side" may have the highest weight on humans, while Novakid could have "To eat a corn shaped turn", or something like that)

2: i thought this was funny in 2014
"THERE'S SOMETHING ON YOUR FACE! IT IS PAIN!" there is enough to say about this. perhaps the reader can take one point of damage when received?

3: MeeM
"MeeM'' or "SwoowS'' or perhaps "WeeW''. you probably won't get this one, but many of us will.

4:YO MAMA
"Your mother is so fat [Random]"
[Random] will probably take the same mechanic from the Classic, but instead of chicken and the egg, it's your mother.

5: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
"A" for a random amount. that's it. There is no change.

6: here is the funny
"Hello, i forgot the funny." he forgot the funny

7: this sounded more funny in my head.
"[Random name] The [Random object]"
yeah.

8:LESSS GO!
"LESSS GOOO"
the "O"'s extend for a random amount.

9: i'm beginning to run out of ideas.
"Hello, have you seen my dog? he went barking up the wrong tree again"

10: your in the barle
"Looks like your in the barrel today."
Thats it, thats all of them. Yep.

Have fun with these ideas, change them if you want, it's your mod.

@Waterleaf
8 seems like it would be a crewmate follow line.

@Waterleaf oooh I'll use 9 fo shore. I've gotta look up some generic jokes now to comb through, but I'm trying to keep this mod universal, so stuff most people would get/relate to and also a stranger spouting your mom jokes would be funny but not immersive.

Also, I'm just adding these lines in jsonpatch files so it picks a random line for them to say already. I do only have 1 cross-the-road joke and like no knock-knock jokes, thanks for the reminder

To the guy who invented zero, thanks for nothing.

@Meteora This is a pretty good assortment you found. Many of these I haven't seen and I do need to add another batch sometime as its been a while. Thanks, I'll probably use quite a bit of those, and by that I mean at least half because I've been pretty selective considering how many I've looked at online vs actually added.

@Meteora Also you are the first to add a sizable list so I've now updated the thread description with what kinda stuff I'm looking for just incase a buncha people start swamping it with pages of stuff from online that I've already seen haha. Also haven't been here in a while, I will add in more jokes either before or after modded race implementation sometime, thank you for getting my attn on the mod again, I will post another status update rn.
