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.

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, along with any sharp implement. | |||

Spawns a floor cluwne. The floor cluwne will target anyone on the station and will stalk them, throwing things at them and honking. This will get more extreme as the floor cluwne prepares to attack. When the cluwne attacks, it will EMP an area around the target as well as lube it. It will move towards it's target (though it starts out on top of them) and drag them beneath the floor and gib them. The floor cluwne will repeat this, getting faster with every crewmember it takes. That said, the floor cluwne itself is pretty vulnerable when it appears and it will remain above the floor until it reaches and kills it's target or dies, so if you just drag the target as the floor cluwne appears you can easily wail on it with a toolbox until it dies. | |||
The resulting mask itself is still evil, and will stick to your hand if grabbed (so pull it to a recycler or banish it into a locker if you want it disposed of).

Latest revision as of 13:52, 7 December 2023
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
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
Maximum Occurrence: 1
Camera Failure
One or two random cameras around the station will be deactivated.
Minimum round time: 20 minutes
Weight: 100
Maximum Occurrence: 20
Chemical spill
Due to a chemical spill in your sector, your pool water may be contaminated.
Will fill the pool's water with a reagent, normally safe but depending on the level of the event it has a random chance to be any possible reagent.
Chemical Spill: Normal
Will fill the pool with 50u and with a 25% chance of being any reagent.
Minimum round time: 20 minutes
Minimum players: 10
Weight: 20
Maximum Occurrence: 3
Chemical Spill: Threatening
Will fill the pool with 75u and with a 50% chance of being any reagent.
Minimum round time: 20 minutes
Minimum players: 25
Weight: 10
Maximum Occurrence: 1
Chemical Spill: Catastrophic
Will fill the pool with 100u and with a 75% chance of being any reagent.
Minimum round time: 30 minutes
Minimum players: 35
Weight: 5
Maximum Occurrence: 1
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
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
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
Maximum Occurrence: 1000
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 coins flipping on the same side multiple times in a row.
Weight: 10
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, priority placed on identifiable animals such as station pets and mulebots or beepsky among others.
Minimum round time: 20 Minutes
Weight: 10
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
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
Hallucination
Hallucinatory event hitting the station. Expected location: [Location].
This anomaly will spawn hallucinations of hostile mobs, which will attack anyone nearby. They deal stamina damage until their target is in stamcrit, before causing them to hallucinate being unable to breathe and eventually dying if not recovered.
Minimum round time: 20 minutes
Weight: 20
Maximum Occurrence: 5
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
Maximum Occurrence: 5
Gravitational
Gravitational anomaly detected on long range scanners. Expected location: [Location].
Pulls and flings objects everywhere nearby.
Minimum round time: 20 minutes
Weight: 20
Maximum Occurrence: 5
Pyroclastic
Pyroclastic anomaly detected on long range scanners. Expected location: [Location].
Creates plasma and turf fires!
Minimum round time: 20 minutes
Weight: 20
Maximum Occurrence: 5
Radiation
Large radiation pulse detected on long range scanners. Expected location: [Location].
Emits radiation and shoots radiation balls sporadically.
Minimum round time: 20 minutes
Weight: 20
Maximum Occurrence: 7
Vortex
Localized high-intensity vortex detected on long range scanners. Expected location: [Location].
The rarest of the bunch. Consumes objects and people and teleports them to a random location. Nasty!
Minimum round time: 20 minutes
Minimum players: 20
Weight: 5
Maximum Occurrence: 2
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
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: 5
Maximum Occurrence: 1
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
Maximum Occurrence: 6
Clogged Vents
The scrubbers network is experiencing a backpressure surge. Some ejection of contents may occur.
Air scrubbers around the station may suddenly erupt foam of various 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, sulfuric acid, mindbreaker toxin, rotatium, pax, laughter, concentrated barbers aid, colorful reagent, dizzying solution, tiring solution, salt, beer, hair dye, white glitter, growth serum. The severity of the surge can vary, resulting in double or 2.5 times as many reagents to appear out of all vents.
Minimum round time: 20 minutes
Minimum players: 10
Weight: 10
Maximum Occurrences: 3
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
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
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
False Alarm
Plays a false alarm message for just about any other event. Fun with meteors.
Minimum round time: 20 Minutes
Weight: 20
Maximum Occurrence: 5
Flutes
1 person per ten people are chosen for this event and given one punishment. A few punishments include; brief periods of blurred vision, faint voices, intense headaches and nigh terminal brain damage.
Minimum players: 30
Weight: 1
Max Occurrences: 1
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 the 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
Grey Tide
Gr3y.T1d3 virus detected in the station's door subroutines. Severity level of 1. Recommend station AI involvement.
All the lights in a department blow, and any cells and doors are bolted open! The AI, cyborgs and anyone with access can get the doors shut quickly, but hacking will do in a pinch.
Minimum round time: 20 minutes
Minimum players: 5
Weight: 10
Maximum Occurrence: 2
"Gr3y.T1d3 virus detected in <station name> imprisonment subroutines. Recommend station AI involvement."
All the lights in the brig blow, and all the cells and brig doors are bolted open, making a clear escape path for all inmates! The AI and cyborgs can get the doors shut quickly, but hacking will do in a pinch. Has a chance to affect a camera, which will either; EMP it, EMP-proof it or motion activate it. Can also affect keycard authenticators, which can cause maintenance to open or red alert to activate.
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
Maximum Occurrence: 3
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
Maximum Occurrence: 3
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: 18
Weight: 10
Maximum Occurrence: 3
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.
If no AI is present, it will instead target airlocks and APCs. Airlocks will randomly have one of the following effects: toggle bolts, toggle emergency access, shock temporarily or have their safety and speed toggled. APCs will have one of three or all of their power channels turned off.
Minimum round time: 20 minutes
Minimum players: 2
Weight: 15

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, along with any sharp implement.
- Plant-b-gone spray from botany and weedkiller grenades from cargo are also good options.
- Fire will also kill certain vines dead. Welders are recommended sources of burn damage instead of, oh I don't know, a flamethrower.

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

Floor Cluwne
Spawns a floor cluwne. The floor cluwne will target anyone on the station and will stalk them, throwing things at them and honking. This will get more extreme as the floor cluwne prepares to attack. When the cluwne attacks, it will EMP an area around the target as well as lube it. It will move towards it's target (though it starts out on top of them) and drag them beneath the floor and gib them. The floor cluwne will repeat this, getting faster with every crewmember it takes. That said, the floor cluwne itself is pretty vulnerable when it appears and it will remain above the floor until it reaches and kills it's target or dies, so if you just drag the target as the floor cluwne appears you can easily wail on it with a toolbox until it dies.
The resulting mask itself is still evil, and will stick to your hand if grabbed (so pull it to a recycler or banish it into a locker if you want it disposed of). If worn, it will stick to your face and turn you into a Cluwne, a clown like abomination that is Valid and can be attacked by anyone, though they themselves are still bound by rules and can only immediately retaliate.

To do this you must knock or kill someone until they are laying down then you can drag them into a pool of blood using the same ability as you did to blood crawl but now with a person! When you blood crawl with a crew member you will hear the sounds of you feasting on them. This permanently removes that person from the shift and heals you.
