The changelog needs to be a full sentence, because add: turns into an icon ingame.

Fan of the foolbox itself but iirc we currently have a freeze on job locker changes until the design doc on roundstart equipment (space-wizards/docs#524) is completed.

Also, this is just my personal take, but: the contents of the foolbox are randomized and I don't personally think that job locker contents (even for a "silly" role like clown) should be randomized; I think a clown should have a consistent baseline number of pies and whatnot available roundstart, rather than their equipment varying based on random chance or what items are mapped in their room. So if it were up to me I'd probably change the random item table to a static list.

Due to vital game balance reasons I request that you set the storage open and insert sounds correctly

Above section could additionally be accomplished by doubling the weight of this entry, removing the above entry, and halving the prob of BoxCartridgeCap, or by deceasing this ones weight to 0.7 and removing the prob but increasing the above entry's weight to 1.3.

I spawned a few thousand foolboxes and it seems like it'll be fine to have 2x2s in the clothing. There's a lot of outer clothing that would fit, some of which is literally not used anywhere. Like ClothingOuterCoatSpaceAsshole, though it might be a bad idea to give that to clowns. :o)

Ideas that I found glancing: ClothingOuterCoatExpensive, ClothingOuterGhostSheet, ClothingShoesBling. Another idea is to have an item for each department to encourage pretending to help getting a new job. ClothingOuterVestHazard, ClothingOuterCoatLab, ClothingMaskClownSecurity, ClothingHeadHatCargosoft.

My theory is that you can get players to try new ideas with a simple encouragement of what to wear. If the game hands you a space asshole coat, especially round start, it gives you something to latch onto (which is the whole idea I think behind starting with a bunch of random tools).

Let me know what you think 🫡

Something I want to make note of here is that this is a different prototype than the existing clown locker, so maps will need to be manually updated to actually replace those lockers. I'll also note that some maps don't have even the current empty locker(s) mapped anywhere (namely Plasma, I think maybe at least one other but I forget off the top of my head), so that's something that'll also need to be addressed. Swapping the lockers out should be their own individual per-map PRs, though (ideally alongside other small updates/fixes to the map in the same PR), since that's how mapping changes are generally done for these kinds of things.

I do have my own PR open (#40122) for putting some things in the clown/mime lockers based on what items are near-universally found mapped in their room(s), but once these lockers are mapped, changing their contents is just a matter of changing what's listed in their fill tables, so the contents don't need to be 100% decided on before they actually get mapped or anything. I mostly just mention all this as a sort of reminder that we need to map this new locker eventually.

Talked to roomba, he said to just have clowns start with this inhand until those issues are fixed!

[iaada]

It all looks good to me! Let the clown revolution begin :o)
