/tg/Station 13

You can blame san7890 for this one...

Birdshot
Based on a legacy station of dreams, virtue, and ambition
Unrivaled in both its complexity and beauty
We got rid of Birdboat once, and evidentially it was a mistake
I shall correct this sin

From the creator of Gammastation and Phobosstation, I bring you a zombified Birdboat, complete with all the latest bells and whistles of a Nanotrasen Space Station. The .dmm is aptly titled Birdshot to remind us all of how we took our best bar-friend and...

There was some discussion in internal admin channels around this statement here.

There’s probably nothing explicit written down, it’s been a tradition for many years that once shit hits the fan you can purge non-implanted on the basis they’re probably revs

Some admins agreed and said that they thought this was the agreed upon consensus whilst others disagreed. There's a real split on this issue.

If you agree, why?

If you disagree, what do you want the heads to do when it's impossible for whatever...

Head coders have approved a cosmetic loadouts system. Please use this thread for ideas on what kinds of things should be in them.

For reference, we will *definitely* include things like existing heterochromia and pride pin quirks, and scarves. We will *probably* add coats (I want them at least). We will *not* be adding equipment, tools, etc. We want this to be a choice of primarily fashion. Prosthetics and nearsighted, for instance, will not be moved from quirks to loadouts at this time.

This is a very...

Ever since heretics was added back their sacrifice wouldn't gib and drop organs anymore. This is a problem since most of the recipes for heretic rituals all assume that you would easily be able to make them with the organs you get from sacrificing. this has lead to encourage more murderboning with their blades instead of using all the cool neat little rituals you can do to achieve your objectives. (getting the organs through other means takes way too long anyways why bother?)
I know organs sometimes spills...

We have jumpsuits and jumpskirts, but what about jumpshorts? Cargo techs have them and look stylish when wearing them, why can't the rest of the station have them?

:(

Hello!

As you may have noticed, I have returned with the express intent of working on tools for /tg/ and other /tg/ -flavored SS13 communities. With the benefit of something like 7 years of hindsight and experience gained, I'm taking some time to plan things out and do it up proper. Right out the gate, a few goals of this new Statbus are:

Build it in such a way that someone else can take over running/maintaining the project
Focus more on functionality for external tools, like ahelps, bans, and...

Its a normal day, youve pulled yourself off your faux-leather couch and driven yourself to the local gas station in your 2003 Volkswagen Beetle. You escape the damp confines of your car seat, the door releasing with a slight hisss .
You put on your shades, as your gamer cove does not have natural light, and this is a truly terrible amount of UV rays for a person of your type. As you clamour for the shopping carts, thrusting your hands into the deep pockets of your pants for any spare change to unshackle...

The Neutral Vision

A silicon policy where silicons are bound only by their laws.

To accomplish this vision, very few considerations are off-limits.

Purged silicons falling under Rule 4? Sure!
Removal of Rule 1 applying to law interpretation? Let's go!
Letting silicons exploit law conflicts and loopholes without having to worry about Rule 1? Ship it.

Any other player-crutches and barriers baked into silipol are up for removal, change or enhancement.

The end goal is not to force silicons down a...

Hey gamers im back but on house arrest rn so I thought i'd ask if you guys know any games in this category! (you can recommend mods too not just standalone games) would prefer to talk about puzzle games or ones with really really obtuse mechanics or ones that nobody gives a fuck about

Confusing as in gameplay mechanics but mainly just overall atmosphere!

The nothing is weird because it has these weird pathes (left right tp down and black white etc) but it doesn't really ever explain to you how...

Made it my goal to read more this summer. I've started by checking out old, wacky sci-fi and fantasy. I'll post my updates on whats good or not, I just had the displeasure of getting halfway through an AWFUL sci fi called Blood Music. I chose it bc it had a cool cover but... woof. Decided to toss that and start A Face in the Frost which is shaping up to be a MUCH more fun and interesting little wizard story.

Also just recently finished my first re-read of game of thrones. I fell down some crazy but...

It would be able to see through all its cameras at once.
It knows and acknowledges immediately anything that is going wrong.
It is incredibly efficient at performing actions, or deciphering and applying its laws.
This would all be very cool until it floods the entire station with plasma in less than a minute.

Hello, fair user!

I do not know how many people use my site, but if you do I have posted a somewhat extensive FAQ on how Scrubby works and specifically useful features that I have yet to have a proper UI implementation of.

If you don't know what Scrubby is:
Scrubby is a hobby project of mine that, like Statbus, maintains and processes data about rounds from TGstation servers. You can view data about any round, any player, including yourself, as well as read any log file that has been posted in a...

A machine that, when turned on, will slowly attact every metal object that is on the floor towards it into a nice pile. All metal tiles, rods and plates on the floor will automatically be put into stacks. Can be moved (portable)

Emagged state: The metal objects will fly through the air at high speeds and imbed into people. Will disarm people holding metal objects.

I know that we had a thread about it when we originally released it at the start of pandemic times, but this is a fine way to kick off this subforum.

Since we originally released the game, we added a bunch of harder bosses and a prestige system that lets you be antagonists.

This thread is for feedback on Modular Shield generators, specifically their numerical values based on the amount of effort you put into them.

You can post ideas and stuff to add to here too but like, they are intended to be able to do a lot more in the future so I mostly just want feedback on their actual stats / how large or tanky they are based on the amount of effort put into them. There is a lot of levers I have to change/mess around with their scaling and the damage they take from different sources.

I have no idea why this is considered good design. limiting it to belts + armor is horrible. You are basically unable to carry a single gun unless you sacrifice your belt. Stealthy stealing a gun is made really hard so antags are once more forced into using their uplink/antag powers instead of using what they can find on the station. Guns should just be limited to 1-2 per bag by size.

I saw text to speech being talked about on discord, and I currently LOVE it. But! I have heard of people not playing because of it.
Do you like it? Why? Why not?

Personally, I love how the text to speech is like. I love that I can eavesdrop on people while hiding behind a wall. I like how you can pick a voice for your character now. It makes for fantastic funny moments when the TTS system messes up and says something in a funny way. I love how people are now typing longer (and more spell checked)...

Statbus is gone.
Rest in piece funny citations, the funny books, and the funny art

I don't think it's controversial to say that most people don't like murderboning, and that the coders have been trying to curb murderboning as much as possible. With that in mind, I believe that there is another method of murderboning that needs fixing: virology. In a recent round (205276) a virus was able to cause a considerable amount of deaths. As some preliminary evidence of the death toll, before the logs go up, I offer this screenshot of medbay near the end of the round:

There were about as many...
