This is an additional work-in-progress map available in the code. Visit the [[MetaStation]] page for more detail.
'''[[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 Philip]. 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.
 
 
 
'''Key points to note are that:'''
* It is more open, so 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 is in a more vulnerable position, but is directly adjacent to security for some protection.
* It feels significantly larger than the default map, and plays best with a population of at least 30 or so.
* The escape shuttle is larger, with a cargo hold to encourage players to bring any new or valuable equipment back to CentComm.
* All roles which have maintenance access around their department now have access to the nearest hallway's maintenance door, too.
* Most rooms and departments are largely as they are in the vanilla-/tg/ map, but rearranged to keep things fresh.
* All other z-levels are the same as vanilla.
 
 
 
'''The most up to date information''' about MetaStation can be found in [http://www.ss13.eu/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=358 in this thread] on the /tg/ forums.
 
'''Please give any feedback''' you may have [http://www.ss13.eu/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=358 in the thread], too, and rest assured that the map is regularly updated according to such feedback.
