Boxstation is the main map played on Yogstation. This is due to the familiarity with the map, the simplistic layout and the fact that the map rotation is weighted towards it. | |||
The map is based around the central "circle", with hallways leading off in all four directions. The circle features the command section: the captain office, HoP office, teleporter room and the bridge are all placed here. Leading off north is the security wing: the detective office, the lawyer office, courtroom and brig are all placed here. Leading off east is the main wing: service, medical, science and escape are all placed here. Leading off south is the engineering wing: engineering, gravity, tech storage, atmospherics and telecomms are all placed here. Leading off west is arrivals. | |||

Many people felt that Boxstation was due to be replaced due to this inactivity in the face of other popular stations. However, from early 2013, an admin/coder called Ikarrus took the leading role in BoxStation's development, updating and expanding maintenance and generally bringing the station up to code.

As of late 2014, Ikarrus stopped regular updates to Boxstation leaving Steelpoint as the primary leading map developer of Boxstation. Wjohn was another notable mapper for early Boxstation, specialising in major remaps of areas. | |||

Boxstation is the main map played on Yogstation. This is due to the familiarity with the map, the simplistic layout and the fact that the map rotation is weighted towards it.
The map is based around the central "circle", with hallways leading off in all four directions. The circle features the command section: the captain office, HoP office, teleporter room and the bridge are all placed here. Leading off north is the security wing: the detective office, the lawyer office, courtroom and brig are all placed here. Leading off east is the main wing: service, medical, science and escape are all placed here. Leading off south is the engineering wing: engineering, gravity, tech storage, atmospherics and telecomms are all placed here. Leading off west is arrivals.
History
BoxStation (also known as tgstation or yogstation) was first made public in the year 2011 by one of the oldest coders, Noize, and several other unknown collaborators. The preceding map was the Goonstation's Devstation (Ovary Station/Uterus Station), which was supposedly the origin as to why SS13 is described as a "nonsensical metal deathtrap".
The Beginning
In the beginning, Security was much smaller because of the Prison Wing was located in an off-station satellite (then called Prison Station). The Research Division was located behind Medbay, and "Med-Sci" was the most populated sector of the station. Toxins was set ablaze almost every other round, and the way the map was made meant that the R&D Lab burned down with it. Virology used to be part of the Research Division as well, and Xenobiology held metroids. Robotics was part of the Engineering department at the time.
Development
For a long time, Boxstation stagnated in content, with very few people willing to dedicate themselves to improving Boxstation. Many people felt that Boxstation was due to be replaced due to this inactivity in the face of other popular stations. However, from early 2013, an admin/coder called Ikarrus took the leading role in BoxStation's development, updating and expanding maintenance and generally bringing the station up to code. Due to Ikarrus's development, it spurred a large number of people to suddenly start mapping for Boxstation.
As of late 2014, Ikarrus stopped regular updates to Boxstation leaving Steelpoint as the primary leading map developer of Boxstation. Wjohn was another notable mapper for early Boxstation, specialising in major remaps of areas.

Major Early Changes
Science, Medbay, and the Brig went through the most significant changes throughout development.
- Medical and Research departments were separated from MedSci.
- Supply department had access changes, and integrated mining with cargo. Mining used to be completely separate, with their own main hall access and shared no spaces with cargo.
- The singularity was held indoors before. SMES Cells were moved to a separate room while the Singularity's containment security was increased with the addition of a layer of reinforced walls.
- Prison Station was merged with the rest of the Brig. We had "Donut Brig" but it was horrible as prisoners were able to circle the warden's office and evade his captors for an absurd length of time. After mappers got fed up with how the Security Department occupied such a disproportionate amount of station real estate, they went and implemented a more efficient design.
- AI started out in the middle of the station, moved to the Science department for a brief while before going back to the middle, then moved to an off-station AI Satellite. Debate continues as to where the AI should be held.
- Maintenance saw an overhaul, increasing in size and complexity.
