These are random events that occur during a game. An announcement will be made providing general information about what type of event it is.
These are random events that occur during a game regardless of gamemode. They have a relatively low chance of occurring, and are often (but not always) accompanied by a broadcasted message from CentCom. Some may only occur after so much time has elapsed during a round.


== Outbreak ==
The '''weight''' stands for how likely an event is to show up. A higher weight gives it a higher chance of occurring, and a lower weight gives it a lower chance of occurring.
An infection has been detected on the station and is beginning to spread amongst the crew! Usually this means the common cold or influenza. All the medical doctors will finally have something to do!


=Unremarkable Events=
==[[File:Space.png|32px]] Aurora Caelus==
''A harmless cloud of ions is approaching your station, and will exhaust their energy battering the hull. Nanotrasen has approved a short break for all employees to relax and observe this very rare event. During this time, starlight will be bright but gentle, shifting between quiet green and blue colors. Any staff who would like to view these lights for themselves may proceed to the area nearest to them with viewing ports to open space. We hope you enjoy the lights.''


== Meteors ==
The space around the hull glows with varying shades of green and blue as the ions batter themselves against the station.
Like the meteor game mode, except the shuttle can be called in the middle of the event. Usually, levels go from 1-15, 1 being the weakest and 15 being the highest. level 15's are commonly followed by shouts of "CALL THE SHUTTLE!!!!!1!"


Minimum round time: 5 minutes


== Ion Storm ==
Weight: 1
Will blow large areas of lighting across the station and/or create new laws for the AI. These new laws have random symbols for numbers, and thus are listed as the highest priority laws. New AI laws can range from bizarre and humorous to outright dangerous. A few examples include "CARGO REQUIRES THE STATION'S UNDERWEAR," "THE STATION IS HAPPIER WITHOUT VIPERS," and "JOHN SMITH IS A XENO." This sometimes results in someone having to reset the AI, and people complaining about the janitor not replacing the lights.


You will be warned of this event by an announcement in chat and over the intercom saying "Ion storm detected near the station. Please check all AI controlled equipment for errors."
==[[File:Security Camera.gif|32px]] Camera Failure==
One or two random cameras around the station will be deactivated.


==Immovable Rods ==
Minimum round time: 20 minutes
Something of a humorous physics joke, an immovable rod will travel through the station in a straight line causing reasonable amounts of damage to the structure and killing anybody unfortunate to be in its path. They take some time to travel through the station, make an immense amount of noise, and as such are avoidable to players with quick reflexes. They will often open up [[EVA|secure areas]], resulting in looting. If an Immovable Rod's path includes the arrivals shuttle, or any of the escape pods, you will find out what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object.


== Space Carp ==
Weight: 100
These vicious critters will crowd around the station and maul anyone silly enough to go near an open airlock. Very dangerous, as their fast speed will catch anybody not running away (or wearing a jetpack in space).


==[[File:OrderRequestConsole.gif|32px]] High Priority Bounty==
''Central Command has issued a high-priority cargo bounty. Details have been sent to all bounty consoles.''


== Xeno Infestation ==
A cargo bounty that will provide a large amount of credits becomes available to complete, viewable on bounty consoles.
Xeno eggs or larvae are spawned somewhere near an unwelded vent, and a random, online, and ghosted player is chosen to play as the larva. The crew must act quickly to stop the spread of the xeno infestation before it escalates out of control. Weld those vents!


Minimum round time: 10 Minutes


== Space Vines ==
Weight: 20
A plant which spreads extremely rapidly around the station. Space vines will grow thicker with time, first getting thick enough to block vision, then capable of entangling people. You can resist entanglement, but it is safer to avoid the vines. Airlocks, fire doors and windows will stop their growth until someone opens them. Fight it with fire.


== Blob Infestation ==
==Probabilistic Anomaly==
A small version of the [[Blob]] has taken root in the station and will slowly spread to consume everything it touches. Most of the blob is vulnerable to extreme levels of heat. The blob will continue to spread until the blob node is destroyed.
''A probabilistic anomaly has been detected near the station. Prepare for a distortion of the laws of probability.''


== Prison Break ==
An event that breaches the physics of reality and forces the RNG to be stuck on the same value for 2 to 10 minutes. "Random" elements of the game will become static resulting in the possibility of arcade machines dispensing the same reward or disarms always or never succeeding.
This event blows all the brig lights, bolts open all the doors, and disables the APC allowing prisoners to easily escape. Every warden and/or HoS hates it when it happens.


== Radiation Wave ==
Weight: 10
Causes everyone on station to be irradiated, dealing toxin damage to all affected. Some crew may also experience mutation, which could be for better or for worse.


== Gravitational Anomaly ==
==[[File:Goose.png|32px]] Random Human-level Intelligence==
A gravitational anomaly appears for a brief instant somewhere on the station. It will suck in and destroy everything that is nearby.
''Based on scans from our long-range sensors, we believe that one of the station's pets has developed very low level intelligence, and the ability to communicate.''
 
Grants a ghost control over one of the station's simple animals/robots.
 
Minimum round time: 20 Minutes
 
Weight: 10
 
==[[File:Dust.png|32px]] Minor Space Dust==

=Moderate Events=
==Anomalies==
A random type of anomaly spawns in a random location on the station! These tend to cause bad things if left alone. So hop to it! To neutralize an anomaly, grab an analyzer from a toolbox and a remote signaling device. Scan the anomaly with the analyzer, then send the signal with the frequency shown! This will neutralize the anomaly and leave behind a core, a relatively valuable item to science.
 
The anomalies will move around, so a bit of hunting may be necessary if it happens to stray from its location.
 
===[[File:Bluespace.gif|32px]] Bluespace===
''Unstable bluespace anomaly detected on long range scanners. Expected location: <nowiki>[Location]</nowiki>.''
 
If left unchecked, it will eventually detonate, warping every object in the area into a random location. Virology may end up in space! Tech storage may suddenly appear in the security wing!
 
Minimum round time: 20 minutes
 
Weight: 5
 
===[[File:Electricity2.gif|32px]] Hyper-Energetic Flux===

==[[File:Vendcoffee.gif|32px]] Brand Intelligence ==
''Rampant brand intelligence has been detected aboard the station. Please stand by. The origin is believed to be a <nowiki>[vending machine name]</nowiki>.''
 
One of the machine type specified in the CentCom notice has become sentient! If not stopped, it will begin to spread a virus to all other vending machines, causing them to animate and attack anything in sight!
 
The origin machine can be any of the vending machines on the station, from the soda machine in escape to the cigarette dispenser in the captain's office. It will shout aggressive speech at anyone nearby and launch products at anything in sight. To stop it and prevent it from infecting any other vendors, it must be either [[Guide_to_advanced_construction#Vendor|deconstructed]], its [[Hacking|wires all cut]], or just simply screwdriver the panel open and flick the speaker switch to off.
 
Minimum round time: 20 minutes
 
Minimum players: 15

''Confirmed outbreak of level 7 viral biohazard aboard the station. All personnel must contain the outbreak.''
 
Get your asses in gear, Medbay! A virus has somehow made it aboard the station. Could be the common cold, could be the confusing space retrovirus, could be the crippling brainrot, or a completely random Advanced Virus.
 
Due to the similar CentCom alert, expect many confused/dumb crewmen to fill communications with cries of "WHERE'S THE BLOB?" or "LYNCH VIRO."
 
The longer the round has gone on, the worse the virus!
 
Minimum round time: 20 minutes
 
Minimum players: 10
 
Weight: 5
 
==[[File:Tube_broken.png|32px]] Electrical Storm==
''An electrical storm has been detected in your area, please repair potential electronic overloads.''

Causes the [[Gravity Generator]] to stop functioning, leaving the station without gravity for 80 to 120 seconds. Can be fixed early by turning the [[Gravity Generator]]'s APC on and off.
 
Weight: 15
 
==[[File:Immrod.png|32px]] Immovable Rod==
''What the fuck was that?!''
 
Something of a humorous physics joke, an immovable rod will travel through the station in a straight line causing reasonable amounts of damage to the structure and killing anybody unfortunate to be in its path. They take some time to travel through the station, make an immense amount of noise, and as such are avoidable to players with quick reflexes. They will often open up secure areas, resulting in looting. If an Immovable Rod's path includes the arrivals shuttle, or any of the escape pods, you will find out what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object.

==[[File:Immquack.png|32px]] Immovable Duck==
''What the duck was that?!''
Something of a humorous '''''DUCK''''' joke, an immovable '''''DUCK''''' will travel through the station in a straight line causing reasonable amounts of damage to the structure and killing anybody unfortunate to be in its path. They take some time to travel through the station, make an immense amount of noise, and as such are avoidable to players with quick reflexes. They will often open up secure areas, resulting in looting. If an Immovable '''''DUCK''''''s path includes the arrivals shuttle, or any of the escape pods, you will find out what happens when an unstoppable '''''DUCK''''' meets an immovable object.
 
Weight: 2
 
==[[File:AI.gif|32px]] Ion Storm==
''Ion storm detected near the station. Please check all AI-controlled equipment for errors.''
 
All AIs aboard the station are uploaded with a random, glitched law! These new laws have random symbols for numbers, and thus are listed as the highest priority laws. New AI laws can range from bizarre and humorous to outright dangerous. A few examples include "CARGO REQUIRES THE STATION'S UNDERWEAR," "THE STATION IS HAPPIER WITHOUT VIPERS," and "JOHN SMITH IS A XENO." This sometimes results in someone having to reset the AI.
 
Ion storms can also cause the order of laws to be rearranged. Have fun with an AI that doesn't have "you may not harm a human" as priority #1!
 
Even better, Ion storms can sometimes replace laws or even whole lawsets.

==[[File:Kudzugrowth.gif|32px]] Space Vines==
A plant which spreads extremely rapidly around the station. Space vines will grow thicker with time, first getting thick enough to block vision, then capable of entangling people. You can resist entanglement, but it is safer to avoid the vines. Fire doors and windows will stop their growth until someone opens them, but airlocks won't. If in an open area, the vines will continue to expand until they engulf every space not blocked off! Space vines will always spawn in maintenance.
 
To fight the vines:
* Drag a goat, either Pete or one ordered from cargo into the vines. It'll eat any vine it passes into, and even quickly consume them on its own so long as there's any nearby.
* A scythe from a weed control crate is effective.
* Plant-b-gone spray from botany and weedkiller grenades from cargo are also good options.
* Fire will also kill vines dead. Not recommended, as it will also kill anyone unfortunate to be caught around it.

Wormholes start appearing randomly around the station for several minutes. Going into one of these wormholes will teleport you to a random location. Sometimes you might be lucky enough to wind up [[Armory|somewhere good]]. Sometimes you might find yourself out in the middle of space.


If you have no intention of taking the gamble, you should move around the station in Walk mode.
If you have no intention of taking the gamble, you should move around the station in Walk mode. Wormholes that spawn directly on you will not warp you, so remaining perfectly still will ensure your safety. But take care not to let [[Assistant|some]] [[Clown|chucklefuck]] push you into one!

Revision as of 09:30, 30 June 2020

These are random events that occur during a game regardless of gamemode. They have a relatively low chance of occurring, and are often (but not always) accompanied by a broadcasted message from CentCom. Some may only occur after so much time has elapsed during a round.

The weight stands for how likely an event is to show up. A higher weight gives it a higher chance of occurring, and a lower weight gives it a lower chance of occurring.

Unremarkable Events

Space.png Aurora Caelus

A harmless cloud of ions is approaching your station, and will exhaust their energy battering the hull. Nanotrasen has approved a short break for all employees to relax and observe this very rare event. During this time, starlight will be bright but gentle, shifting between quiet green and blue colors. Any staff who would like to view these lights for themselves may proceed to the area nearest to them with viewing ports to open space. We hope you enjoy the lights.

The space around the hull glows with varying shades of green and blue as the ions batter themselves against the station.

Minimum round time: 5 minutes

Weight: 1

Security Camera.gif Camera Failure

One or two random cameras around the station will be deactivated.

Minimum round time: 20 minutes

Weight: 100

OrderRequestConsole.gif High Priority Bounty

Central Command has issued a high-priority cargo bounty. Details have been sent to all bounty consoles.

A cargo bounty that will provide a large amount of credits becomes available to complete, viewable on bounty consoles.

Minimum round time: 10 Minutes

Weight: 20

Probabilistic Anomaly

A probabilistic anomaly has been detected near the station. Prepare for a distortion of the laws of probability.

An event that breaches the physics of reality and forces the RNG to be stuck on the same value for 2 to 10 minutes. "Random" elements of the game will become static resulting in the possibility of arcade machines dispensing the same reward or disarms always or never succeeding.

Weight: 10

Goose.png Random Human-level Intelligence

Based on scans from our long-range sensors, we believe that one of the station's pets has developed very low level intelligence, and the ability to communicate.

Grants a ghost control over one of the station's simple animals/robots.

Minimum round time: 20 Minutes

Weight: 10

Dust.png Minor Space Dust

Spawns some high-speed space dust that can break grilles and windows on the edge of the station.

Minimum round time: 0 minutes

Weight: 200

Dolphin.gif Dolphin Migration

Unknown biological entities have been detected near the station, please stand-by.

Space Dolphins spawn around the station. Though initially not hostile, if provoked they will swarm their attacker. Alongside the space dolphins are a small chance for Space Manatees to spawn.

Minimum round time: 10 minutes

Weight: 15

Moderate Events

Anomalies

A random type of anomaly spawns in a random location on the station! These tend to cause bad things if left alone. So hop to it! To neutralize an anomaly, grab an analyzer from a toolbox and a remote signaling device. Scan the anomaly with the analyzer, then send the signal with the frequency shown! This will neutralize the anomaly and leave behind a core, a relatively valuable item to science.

The anomalies will move around, so a bit of hunting may be necessary if it happens to stray from its location.

Bluespace.gif Bluespace

Unstable bluespace anomaly detected on long range scanners. Expected location: [Location].

If left unchecked, it will eventually detonate, warping every object in the area into a random location. Virology may end up in space! Tech storage may suddenly appear in the security wing!

Minimum round time: 20 minutes

Weight: 5

Electricity2.gif Hyper-Energetic Flux

Localized hyper-energetic flux detected on long range scanners. Expected location: [Location].

If left alone, it will eventually erupt in a violent explosion.

Minimum round time: 20 minutes

Minimum players: 10

Weight: 20

Shield2.gif Gravitational

Gravitational anomaly detected on long range scanners. Expected location: [Location].

Pulls and flings objects everywhere nearby.

Minimum round time: 20 minutes

Weight: 20

Mustard.gif Pyroclastic

Pyroclastic anomaly detected on long range scanners. Expected location: [Location].

Creates plasma fires!

Minimum round time: 20 minutes

Weight: 20

Anom.gif Vortex

Localized high-intensity vortex detected on long range scanners. Expected location: [Location].

The rarest of the bunch. Consumes objects and creates hull breaches. Nasty!

Minimum round time: 20 minutes

Minimum players: 20

Weight: 5

Vendcoffee.gif Brand Intelligence

Rampant brand intelligence has been detected aboard the station. Please stand by. The origin is believed to be a [vending machine name].

One of the machine type specified in the CentCom notice has become sentient! If not stopped, it will begin to spread a virus to all other vending machines, causing them to animate and attack anything in sight!

The origin machine can be any of the vending machines on the station, from the soda machine in escape to the cigarette dispenser in the captain's office. It will shout aggressive speech at anyone nearby and launch products at anything in sight. To stop it and prevent it from infecting any other vendors, it must be either deconstructed, its wires all cut, or just simply screwdriver the panel open and flick the speaker switch to off.

Minimum round time: 20 minutes

Minimum players: 15

Weight: 5

File:Head of Personell.png Bureaucratic Error

A recent bureaucratic error in the Organic Resources Department may result in personnel shortages in some departments and redundant staffing in others.

Randomly sets the overflow role (the infinite slot one, default is Assistant) to any job in the game. You might end up wading in Wardens or drowning in Clowns.

Minimum round time: 20 minutes

Weight: 2

Carp.gif Carp Migration

Unknown biological entities have been detected near the station, please stand-by.

Space carp spawn around the station. Take care and have a good weapon handy when heading out into space. And watch yourself when around windows!

Minimum round time: 10 minutes

Minimum players: 2

Weight: 15

File:Atmos Technician.png Clogged Vents

The scrubbers network is experiencing a backpressure surge. Some ejection of contents may occur.

Air scrubbers around the station may suddenly erupt smoke clouds of chemicals and reagents. The chemicals/reagents which may be involved in this event are: plant-b-gone, blood, charcoal, space drugs, morphine, holy water, ethanol, hot chocolate, sulphuric acid, mindbreaker toxin, rotatium, skewium, pax, laughter, concentrated barbers aid, colorful reagent, dizzying solution, tiring solution, salt, beer, hair dye, white glitter, growth serum.

Minimum round time: 20 minutes

Minimum players: 10

Weight: 10

Headset.png Communications Blackout

Ionospheric anomalies detected. Temporary telecommunication failure imminent. Please contact you*%fj00)`5vc-BZZT

Telecommunications goes down temporarily. The crew isn't often alerted of this, but the AI always is. Sometimes confused due to crew incompetence with the Ion Storm, detailed below.

Minimum round time: 20 minutes

Weight: 30

Clown.png False Alarm

Plays a false alarm message for just about any other event. Fun with meteors.

Minimum round time: 20 Minutes

Weight: 20

Virologist.png Disease Outbreak

Confirmed outbreak of level 7 viral biohazard aboard the station. All personnel must contain the outbreak.

Get your asses in gear, Medbay! A virus has somehow made it aboard the station. Could be the common cold, could be the confusing space retrovirus, could be the crippling brainrot, or a completely random Advanced Virus.

Due to the similar CentCom alert, expect many confused/dumb crewmen to fill communications with cries of "WHERE'S THE BLOB?" or "LYNCH VIRO."

The longer the round has gone on, the worse the virus!

Minimum round time: 20 minutes

Minimum players: 10

Weight: 5

Tube broken.png Electrical Storm

An electrical storm has been detected in your area, please repair potential electronic overloads.

A bunch of lights short out in a general area on the station. Annoying at best. But at least it gives the janitor something to do other than mop blood trails.

Minimum round time: 10 minutes

Minimum players: 5

Weight: 15

Apc frame.png Grid Check

Abnormal activity detected in the station's powernet. As a precautionary measure, the station's power will be shut off for an indeterminate duration.

Shuts down all APCs station-wide for 30 to 120 seconds, with the exception of Engineering. Usually leads to station-wide looting once Assistants crowbar open airlocks. Can be fixed early by hitting the APC's "Reset" button.

Minimum round time: 20 Minutes

Weight: 10

Gravity Generator.png Gravity Systems Failure

Warning: Failsafes for the station's artificial gravity arrays have been triggered. Please be aware that if this problem recurs it may result in formation of gravitational anomalies. Nanotrasen wishes to remind you that the unauthorised formation of anomalies within Nanotrasen facilities is strictly prohibited by health and safety regulation A: Sub-clause C.

Causes the Gravity Generator to stop functioning, leaving the station without gravity for 80 to 120 seconds. Can be fixed early by turning the Gravity Generator's APC on and off.

Weight: 15

Immrod.png Immovable Rod

What the fuck was that?!

Something of a humorous physics joke, an immovable rod will travel through the station in a straight line causing reasonable amounts of damage to the structure and killing anybody unfortunate to be in its path. They take some time to travel through the station, make an immense amount of noise, and as such are avoidable to players with quick reflexes. They will often open up secure areas, resulting in looting. If an Immovable Rod's path includes the arrivals shuttle, or any of the escape pods, you will find out what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object.

Minimum round time: 20 minutes

Minimum players: 15

Weight: 10

Immquack.png Immovable Duck

What the duck was that?! Something of a humorous DUCK joke, an immovable DUCK will travel through the station in a straight line causing reasonable amounts of damage to the structure and killing anybody unfortunate to be in its path. They take some time to travel through the station, make an immense amount of noise, and as such are avoidable to players with quick reflexes. They will often open up secure areas, resulting in looting. If an Immovable DUCK's path includes the arrivals shuttle, or any of the escape pods, you will find out what happens when an unstoppable DUCK meets an immovable object.

Weight: 2

AI.gif Ion Storm

Ion storm detected near the station. Please check all AI-controlled equipment for errors.

All AIs aboard the station are uploaded with a random, glitched law! These new laws have random symbols for numbers, and thus are listed as the highest priority laws. New AI laws can range from bizarre and humorous to outright dangerous. A few examples include "CARGO REQUIRES THE STATION'S UNDERWEAR," "THE STATION IS HAPPIER WITHOUT VIPERS," and "JOHN SMITH IS A XENO." This sometimes results in someone having to reset the AI.

Ion storms can also cause the order of laws to be rearranged. Have fun with an AI that doesn't have "you may not harm a human" as priority #1!

Even better, Ion storms can sometimes replace laws or even whole lawsets.

Minimum round time: 20 minutes

Minimum players: 2

Weight: 20

Spacedust.png Major Space Dust

The station is passing through a debris cloud, expect minor damage to external fittings and fixtures.

Spawns small meteors that can cause trouble. Like minor space dust, but stronger.

Minimum players: 25

Weight: 1

Spacedust.png Normal

Meteors have been detected on collision course with the station.

Minimum players: 10

Weight: 4

Meateor.png Meaty

Meaty ores have been detected on collision course with the station.

Like meteors, but with meat and gibs instead of minerals.

Mouse.png Mice Migration

Due to budget-cuts, a number of squeaking things have descended into the maintenance tunnels.

Spawns a bunch of cable-chewing mice all over the station's maintenance tunnels. It's a good idea to send in Engineers, snakes or cat/lizardpeople.

Minimum round time: 20 Minutes

Weight: 10

Airlock.gif Grey Tide

Minimum round time: 20 minutes

Weight: 10

Heart.png Random Heart Attack

Unlucky spessmen get heart disease, which if it reaches stage 5, causes a heart attack.

Dfdfdf.png Rusky Party

Cargo: A group of angry Russians want to have a party. Can you send them your cargo shuttle then make them disappear?

A number of armed and angry Russians, plus a bear or two come with the next supply shuttle. Kill them for some sweet duds!

Spawns a player-controlled space dragon.

Minimum round time: 70 minutes

Minimum players: 20

Weight: 8

Kudzugrowth.gif Space Vines

A plant which spreads extremely rapidly around the station. Space vines will grow thicker with time, first getting thick enough to block vision, then capable of entangling people. You can resist entanglement, but it is safer to avoid the vines. Fire doors and windows will stop their growth until someone opens them, but airlocks won't. If in an open area, the vines will continue to expand until they engulf every space not blocked off! Space vines will always spawn in maintenance.

To fight the vines:

  • Drag a goat, either Pete or one ordered from cargo into the vines. It'll eat any vine it passes into, and even quickly consume them on its own so long as there's any nearby.
  • A scythe from a weed control crate is effective.
  • Plant-b-gone spray from botany and weedkiller grenades from cargo are also good options.
  • Fire will also kill vines dead. Not recommended, as it will also kill anyone unfortunate to be caught around it.

Minimum round time: 20 minutes

Minimum players: 10

Weight: 25

GrayCrate.png Stray Cargo Pod

Stray cargo pod detected on long-range scanners. Expected location of impact: Location.

A cargo pod containing a random cargo supply pack crash-lands on a random spot on the station.

Minimum round time: 10 minutes

Weight: 20

Anom.gif Wormholes

Space-time anomalies detected on the station. There is no additional data.

Wormholes start appearing randomly around the station for several minutes. Going into one of these wormholes will teleport you to a random location. Sometimes you might be lucky enough to wind up somewhere good. Sometimes you might find yourself out in the middle of space.

If you have no intention of taking the gamble, you should move around the station in Walk mode. Wormholes that spawn directly on you will not warp you, so remaining perfectly still will ensure your safety. But take care not to let some chucklefuck push you into one!
