Locations

Revision as of 14:54, 5 June 2014 by imported>Kosmos (Updated the BoxStation map.)

General Locations

Locations on the wiki reflect the rooms on the BoxStation-map, but the same jobs, and therefore also the same rooms mostly exist on other station maps as well. Here's a list of the rooms/locations:

BoxStation

Widely regarded as the "official" map of SS13, though the situation is quickly changing as new maps are becoming more popular. The BoxStation may be confusing at first, but it is actually neatly organized, so that every department gets their own wing. The Command Sector is in a centralized location, holding the Bridge, the Gravity Generator and the AI Upload. Other departments extend out into various wings around the command sector.

MetaStation is a largely complete map available in the /tg/ codebase as an alternative to the default map. MetaStation was previously run on Badger, and is now the default map on the second official /tg/ server, [byond://game.tgstation13.org:2337 Basil]. An older version has been running on NoxStation for some time. It has been play-tested quite extensively and has been generally well received. Due to this play-testing, it is now largely bug free, and most feedback revolves around gameplay changes and balancing. It is largely maintained and updated by Metacide, but based on and uses the work of many others.

Key points to note are that:

  • The map plays best with 30+ players.
  • It runs on the same code as the default 'BoxStation' (tgstation.2.1.3), the only change is the layout.
  • It feels much bigger and more open, attacks in public are harder to get away with.
  • It has a much larger maintenance system, useful for stealthier tactics.
  • There are in-game maps on the walls of the station to help you find your way.
  • The AI and Telecomms are now stored in a "MiniSat" accessible by engineers and heads.
  • The escape shuttle is larger, with a cargo hold.
  • All other z-levels are the same as vanilla BoxStation.

Development news regarding MetaStation is often posted in this thread on the /tg/ forums.

Please give any feedback you may have in that thread, too.

More info can be found on the dedicated MetaStation page.
