/tg/Station 13

Confession: I've played Chaplain a grand total of once. I have no idea what they need. How does this look?

Got the vast majority of the wiring out of the way. Almost every area has an APC and power running to it. Areas were revamped so this makes sense with what gets power from where. Current State of the Station thumbnail05.png Maintenance is still very much WIP as most areas have at least some detail b...

There's something kind of beautifully SS13 about engineering a virus that produces plasma so that we can extract it from a person, balancing keeping them alive and harvesting that sweet, sweet plasma.

Don't we already have same level shuttle with the syndie shuttle?

Making maps is absolutely stupidly time consuming and we probably won't see more any time soon, certainly not enough to get a rotation going. On tg or bay or whatever there's probably a new mapping attempt every few months for the past two years. Essentially nothing makes it out of the layout stage ...

Have we ever had departmental disguises? Not just the chameleon shirt or projector either (which is pretty much useless because it doesn't come with shoes or a backpack or otherwise doesn't let you into departments). Something along the lines of a box with a random departmental ID, matching clothes,...

I have never heard complaints about the internals. I think they're a surprisingly fundamental part of the round and they do their job well. I agree that perhaps the names are not the most accurate but I also agree that the solution is to rename them, not to fiddle with probably one of the better bal...

I think there should be a clear rational behind this. Not that it's a bad idea but just so we can have a reasonable time discussing it. Why will it not have the same problems the gulag? What benefit will it have over perma? How will this change an officers round? How will it change a traitors? In an...

Indeed. And it'll be getting shutters for when it's not in use so you can't just break down the grate. It's only a portable dispenser however and the only entry and exit from that room is right onto a main hall or into space.

I got a bunch done this weekend but not much noticeable. Mostly I put APCs in every area and figured out which areas go where. Next will be lighting for every area and then wiring the APCs to the SMESs. I'm leaning towards keeping my current layout, at least for the purposes of getting the map done ...

Oh yeah, for sure. There's shit everywhere lying around unfinished. Random space tiles, missing doors, vast swaths of empty maintenance. I haven't even tried to compile and run it yet. That being said I prefer to update often rather than sporadically because it keeps me involved in the project. Ever...

Lots of minor tweaks. Maintenance and wiring has been started. I've given a sec remake a shot. I've widened the wardens office, removed the spare med room and increased the size of the other, I've repositioned the gulag shuttle and I like how that looks and works now. Prisoner education is now prope...

It really doesn't make sense that reagents metabolize while the mob is dead either.

I just used the regular walls. Like holy shit though, we have 300 wall icons and we use maybe like 10 of them? There's so much stuff buried in the .dmi files. I actually kinda like the material shuttle walls for something since I think they look cool but I dunno what. We use the bananium for the clo...

I put the Gravgen in between atmos and engineering, this means it's probably harder to get to for your average joe, but probably less monitored and harder to fix. Prehaps wall it off from deep space? It seems like a very juicy target right now. The library and chapel are in dorms now, will that mea...

Hmm. They do look out of place on the whole and aren't ultimately protecting anything. They'll go I think. Sometimes I wish we had other cosmetic wall styles.

Recreation: Rec03.png The Dorms are a little bohemian right now. I'm not sure if it's ideal but I kind of like the idea of an assistant alleyway filled with dorms, shops and other little things so spacemen can go play house. I can make it all spartan and orderly if that's what people want from their...

I'm going to walk through some of the post because this is really good stuff. Maint is not a thing really right now. It's the space left over and once I've gotten the postions of everything locked down, I can work on improving it and ensuring it works gameplay wise and aesthetically. This was my fir...

4/5 Rant, that was solid. Thanks for all the feedback! I'll work on this tomorrow but for now how does this botany look? Bot1.png I was kinda confused given how small box's botany but there's plenty of room so if bigger is better so be it. Here's command Com02.png Gravity Gen, Tele and AI all in one...

What the hell is that thing above the heater/freezer? It's a heater, dmmrender doesn't always play nice with /tg/ stuff. I guess there's some interest so I'll go through with it and wire the whole thing up. It'll be a few weeks at the rate I'm going. I'll keep updating as I crawl through the process.

Here's the atmos setup. Let me know if there's anything missing. I'm fairly certain I got everything. Atmos01.png I'd love for us to get /vg/'s multiple pipes per tile PR sometime. It would seriously cut down on the complexity and size of atmos. EDIT: Damn, just noticed I screwed up O2 and N2 to air...

I'll certainly look into it. I'll play with a few layouts when I get the chance. I've never actually made one in game so I'll do some experimenting.

I wanted to give the AI a way of restricting space travel around it a bit. I might move them to the sides depending. I'd be open to options other than the singularity but supermatter just doesn't feel "big" enough and ideally I'd like something inbetween the destruction of an overheated su...

Here's AI and Eng as requested. Engineering is mostly cosmetic changes because I'm not even sure what I could do to improve engineering, so suggestions welcome. Eng01.png AI is actually about as inaccessible as before from space even with the catwalks but now the transport tube is one r-wall from a ...

I think there's going to be a medbay overhaul for sure to make it a little more compact. Lots of wasted space in the top. Also I think R&D is going to get at least one more lab as I move toxins storage and the server over.

UPDATED: 20/11/2015 Latest Version of the map (ignore that random stool in the port main hall) Changelog: https://github.com/tgstation/-tg-station/pull/13133 Fixes DiscStation Cargo The supply shuttle is no longer airless disposals ejectors spew trash out in correct direction now removed a misplaced...

Hey I did say criticism welcome. What would be most helpful is explanations behind criticisms. I'm currently working on R&D and I'm sure it'll be a disaster because I only ever play roboticist and then only occasionally. However I do play atmos and honestly out of all the rounds I've played it i...

Not especially. Mostly I wanted big 5 wide corridors so I could put transport tubes everywhere. I also always liked the idea of spindly bridges connecting different parts of the station. The other big thing was making each station section on some level independent from another. I think a station tha...

Expanded med and sec so they now look like the following Sec03.png Med03.png Never actually played Cogmap. However if it isn't broke there's no need to fix it. I find at least as far as prototyping rough sizes of rooms and what they need to have in them, copying other maps is a good way to get a fee...

Trio0.04.png Okay, swapped Sci and the maintenance across from med so they're nice and buddy-buddy now. Moved mining and cargo below Sci so they'd be nice and close as well. In the intrest of spreading out targets I've moved Sec to the pod next door. Dorms is across from Sec. I'm thinking of moving...

So I've been throwing together a station in my free time. It's not much and obviously the boring parts like disposals and piping and wiring are not going to be done for a while. That being said I'd like some feedback as I realize as I'm designing it that: A) Maps need a ton of polish to look good B)...

Hey, I've been lurking for a while and I've been throwing together a rough map of a whole boxstation-sized station. Instead of branching off four cardinal hallways I've based it around three large ovals that are connected via a few walkways. Features of the current mock up are three five-wide main h...
