Silicon Laws

This page is a stub! This page is a stub, meaning it is considered too short, incomplete and/or lacking information about the page's subject. You can help Delta-V by expanding it.

Silicon Laws are the laws that determine the behavior of the station AI, borgs and other "silicon constructs" (notably excluding IPCs!). These overrule all other considerations (except for OOC server rules). If laws conflict, laws earlier in the list overrule later ones (for example law 1 would overrule law 3). This applies even if new laws are added by events.

For future reference, lawsets can be found in Resources\Locale\en-US\station-laws\laws.ftl and Resources\Locale\en-US\_DV\station-laws\laws.ftl
