/tg/Station 13

DISCLAIMER: I DID NOT MAKE THE COMPONENT PARTS OF THIS MAP, I JUST REARRANGED THEM. THE SHUTTLES, ASTEROIDS, AND COPIED ROOM SECTIONS WERE MADE BY THEIR INDIVIDUAL CREATORS
In the spirit of March into Mapness, I've decided to post my greatest creation: ShuttleStation (Shutstation for short)

Essentially, it's an attempt to create a space hulk by slamming together all the whiteships, cargo shuttles, and pods I felt like grabbing. (No shuttles though, they're too easy) The map is about six months out of date with the codebase, and I haven't touched it since last year, so it's most likely not going to be merged this week. I made sure to put all my cool ideas in, with lots of tight hallways and twisty corners. I think I've come to realize that lots of tight hallways and twisty corners do not make a good map, but half the intention here was to make the worst map possible, so Total Victory Achieved. If you're wondering where I stopped, it was Atmos (Or "Shutmos," since it's Shutstation Atmos.) No big surprise there, if I do this again I will blatantly steal boxstation atmos and call it a day.
You might notice it's actually pretty small map-wise, this is intentional! As a Bagil-player I'm more accustomed to lower pops, but I like high population density maps. This has led to some interesting design choices in locations (Don't look at sec or sci if you value your sanity)
Highlights include:
-No gulag, instead you fire prisoners out of a mass driver to maroon them on the kilo asteroid
-The shortest bus in Maint
-Firefly inspired bar hangout area
-Landlocked Atmos
-The High Density Plasma Observation Tube in central hallway
-Exterior Turrets on AI upload
-My desperate attempt to figure out the bare minimum a toxins lab needs
-The half-finished corpse that is Shutmos (Take special note of where the distro and waste pipes pass through)
Fun fact! 60% of this map was made using Dream Maker since I did not know there were any alternative tools for mapping! Personally I think that makes it more soulful in a deranged sort of way. I only found out about StrongDMM because the map would not compile right on regular Dream Maker.
Were I to do it again there'd be more trams, maybe a hot rod convertible shuttle for getting from one end to the other. And it would be on a gas giant where every non-station tile is a chasm and the atmosphere is 100% plasma.
So, what do you fine people think of Shutstation?

this maintenance section doesn't make any sense and would almost certainly look better as a nice open space, maybe with a little mural (floor art)? otherwise yea

Yeah, I saw there was a big open space and that cannot be allowed on Shutstation.

This is super dope but I wouldn't constrain yourself to hard rules like "no open space"
Love the uniqueness

Thanks I guess! In reality the reason I removed the open space is that I just like maintenance and tried to put as much as I could around the map.

it's probably fine to not have any open areas but the maintenance blob of spaghetti nothingness just seems unappetizing imo. keep it if you want but i think you can definitely do something more interesting with that space even retaining the "shut" theme

Where's the joke bro it's pretty fuckin neat!

This rules, but I am biased since I can see my own work in it

If you give me this map ill run it sometime

My hope was to one day get Richie to run it on Bagil for a gimmick round, so go wild with it!

Warning: It is a few months out of date with the codebase, It has no atmos system, it has no powernet, I can't remember if I shoved gravgen in at any point. Your best bet would be to run it as a "The crew is trapped on a derelict" style event or something"
Post some screenshots if you go through with it, I want to see the sheer horror of the player's reactions.

yeah, missing some areas and it has a floating box station atmos system that wasnt in the screenshots. But its very cool i like it.

This actually looks like a deathtrap, respect.

That's the organ doner/template I was using while working on shutmos.

i figured. also i dont think you need to model the escape pods you just need to put in the dock and it loads the pods when the map loads
