'''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.ss13.eu: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 [[User:Metacide|Metacide]], but based on and uses the work of many others. | '''MetaStation''' is a largely complete map available in the /tg/ codebase as an alternative to the default map.
