Locations

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

BoxStation is widely regarded as the "official" map of SS13, though the situation is quickly changing as new maps are becoming more popular. It 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

MetaStation v41F, updated 2015/07/24. (HD Image) (Map Files) (Changelog)

MetaStation is a fully-functioning map available on the /tg/ codebase as an alternative to the default map, otherwise known as BoxStation. It is currently running on Basil, /tg/'s second server, and has recently run numerous times on Sibyl. It was the default map on Badger in its heyday, an older version was running on NoxStation for a while, and a forked variant on /vg/. Recently another version was forked to Paradise. It has been tested extensively and has been generally well received. It is largely maintained and updated by Metacide, uses the work of many others, and has been worked on by various other people who have updated and maintained the map over its history.

Key points to note are that:

  • The map plays best with 30+ players.
  • The only change is the layout - functionality is the same.
  • It feels much 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 escape shuttle is larger, with a cargo hold to bring valuable gear with you.

The most up to date information can be found on the dedicated MetaStation page.

Feedback is welcomed in this thread on the /tg/ forums.
