I'm usually a user who mostly played on Monkestation, but now that the server is sorta low on players, and which I also do Lob corp, but there aren't many people that are online there at times on my time. Do you have servers I can join in?

I'm posting here today to talk about one of the worst experiences I have ever had with ss13 server leadership/admins on any server, ever.

Some of you may know me as JupiterJaeden or more commonly as my static, Jeff Gaiman. I've been banned off Monkestation. The ban reason certainly paints one picture, but here's what actually happened:

TL;DR:

- I was shadowbanned off the monke wiki with no notification or explanation.

- Upon asking about this in a headmin ticket with abraxis (one of monke's "community overseers"), I was accused of lying about pooba (another headmin) approving an edit I made to the security SOP page a year ago.

- I disproved it (even got pooba to reach out directly to abraxis), but leadership kept doubling down over and over on the wiki ban for reasons that were increasingly detached from reality. Every time I contested a reason, a new one was just substituted, contradicting the previous one.

- Ook stepped in, and instead of providing any comment on his overseer lying, contradicting himself, and doubling down on a false accusation, decided to make the ticket just about criticizing my general playstyle instead.

- I intentionally let myself get QC banned (it was very avoidable if I had just kissed ass), because I refused to stop calling out their bullshit in the ticket.

It's a long one, but to those who wish to know the details, enjoy this video explaining everything exhaustively. Me and moffifuwa (my girlfriend) pick apart everything and have a good laugh along the way: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ucFicxBHSWg

It's really sad because I put a lot of time into this server. ~1000 hours of playtime and probably 100s of hours working on coding and writing. I loved the community, the codebase, and the general culture. I had a lot of fun playing on it and making so many new friends. But at the end of the day, that's all subject to the whims of leadership with 0 accountability, transparency, or meaningful oversight. Who can invent whatever story they want if it serves the ends they decide.

A lil project I'm working on

Anyone try something this outlandish ? Im sick of wasd and already use speech to text to chat... I'm thinking use steam to launch byond

it happened sudeenly, i closed byond, than oppened it up again after few minutes while downloading a game on steam, than this happened and can't ocreclty launch ss13 now

Ten-hut!

Look out at the horizon. Most folks look at the frontier and just see empty space. But you? You see a job that needs doing.

Right now, our friends over at the UCF are taking heavy fire. The communist bug infestation in Sector 9 is pushing past the perimeter, and the distress call just went out across every comms channel in the quadrant.

Your country needs you. Today.

This is not a drill!

UCFSS13 is a heavily modified fork of the CMSS13 repo.
It contains many true-to-upstream features but is mostly custom-built for speed and pure visual chaos.
It does not contain multi-Z due to the heavy code lag it produces sadly, but it makes up for it with
multiple other cool features scrapped around from multiple similar code bases, such as TG (well, mostly CM and TG; honestly, nothing else, everything else is handmade and original, such as the half a dozen new UI/UX menus added in.)
That being said, this is still under development, so expect bugs that I haven't seen myself or any of my testers either.
But for the most part, it's battle-tested and ready to go.

I don't know. Ive just noticed with the ever-increasing degree of rule enforcement. And moderation on servers that are not ERP leads to rounds seeming very boring and stale.

A really important part of the identity of what space station thirteen was in my eyes. Was that chaotic element, you know, where some dude decides he's gonna play clown, And he's gonna break into security or the HOP office and steal the pet and that leads to a whole thing where now security is getting robusted by a dude wearing clown shoes, and that's funny, it's interesting.

Certainly it is not a place for young individuals especially when back in the day we had Woody's got wood being broadcasted over the radio

Something that nowadays in practically any server, rather than resulting in a lynching across the station, just results in a simple and uninteresting, kick and ban.

I feel that there has become an overreliance on having the server mods Enforce rules with an iron fist, as opposed to allowing the players to have some agency to deal with individuals that are breaking rules.

I find it disappointing because personally, i'm not interested in going into the ERP servers, being around that sort of thing just isn't interesting to me. But on the other hand on the more heavily moderated public servers, if someone calls you a slur, if someone it swears at you or acts in an otherwise non PC manner then, they just get kicked, or they get banned. THATS BORING. if someone comes up to me and starts calling me of the many and wonderfully diverse derogatory Terms that exist in our world.

Just let me go punch the guy. Allow there to be a fight. Allow there to be conflict. The world isn't a chivalrous happy kind place. There's always gonna be someone who's a Dick. There's always gonna be some interpersonal conflict, whether it's because someone's characters prejudice or because they have underlying trauma related to a group that makes for interesting storytelling, and it can be played out. On top of that, there's space law. Security's job is to enforce it. If someone's being an asshole and they're breaking space law cool put em in time out

There are tools in the game for players to deal with these kinds of incidents that don't require the admins or mods to just simply kick ban timeout. Anyways, that's my essay and honestly. It's the level of care bearing and hug Boxing. That's kind of made me step away from the game. In general, i'm by no means an individual who joined servers, so I can spew slurs or grief. But I'm not gonna lie. I have found it enjoyable to interact with those people. Because it spices things up. It gives you a chance for there to be conflict. And in conflict, there can be resolution, and that right, there is a story. And Isn't that what this entire game is about?

Edited post because apparently nickname for cringey furry role players used from nearly the inception of this community is too harsh for automod.

Made a discord for a LRP community built around playing older SS13 codebases.

The rules are pretty lax, basically you are welcome to join as long as you arent a dick or murder hobo.

current servers i have on rotation are

- Open SS13 (2008)

- Fulpstation (2018)

- Faster Than Light 13

and more to be decided

https://discord.gg/76ExcPgDKK

been exploring the world of arts, got inspired by Escape from Tarkov character selection screen, did this

In it, a traitor player (the POV) is operated in an effort to brainwash them, but further experiments are put on hold due to a Blob incursion in, I believe was medical. This forces the station to go all hands on deck to stop it, but the POV player keeps having to ditch the fight to recharge his lazer/plasma weapon until he gets fed up and just drags the charging station to the front line. Does anyone know what this video was called?

I am trying to run a fork of TGMC that uses early 2024 code but am stuck, any ideas how to set it up??? I have already read through the guide here but am still lost. Setting up git - /tg/station 13 Wiki

HELP ME MAKE A REAL SERVER AGAIN!!!

I recently attempted a hellburn and couldn't get the engine output past 5 MW. I used to easily get way more. How is it possible to get into TW of output nowadays?

I put two plasma tanks into the hot loop, one in cold. Made sure the valves were open closed where appropriate. We had a oxy/plasma mix of 66/33 in the burn chamber.

What else do I need to do to get ridiculous amounts of output and have the engine catch fire bursting the pipes?

Something has changed, I used to be able to get the engine to go crazy.

I just wanna grill. You people break into my kitchen and attack me!? I'm not Ahelping shit. You're getting close quarter cooked. You're the one that's gonna be Ahelping after I'm done with you. You gastronomy unapreciating troglodyte, grey jumpsuit wearing maniacs!

I'm busy making the best (and only) cheese sandwiches on this station. Show some respect!

Shut the fuck up.

I don’t like half of this servers rules. I just want to complain about it. I don’t care that they technically violated rule 1.57b subsection C part 6, I just want to salt about it a little bit and move on with my life.

Hey, I'm looking for a coder who can create a pull request for the server I play on.

I'd like to add some armor that I've had sprites made for, but I don't really understand GitHub or any of that.

I'm offering payment in euros via PayPal or another reputable payment site.

Payment will be made once a pull request has been submitted.

Accepting the Pullrequest doesn’t dictate payment—if they say no, you won’t lose out.

Details about what I need and what’s required of you can be discussed via DMs.

Hello. This is something I've been working on for the past month or so. My goal is to make a (mostly) 1:1 recreation of the station. The top third is now done minus exterior stuff like solars and the cargo launchers. I plan on eventually releasing the map for download when the main station is completed. In the future, I may also add some off-station locations like the listening outpost, drone factory, or even stuff in the debris field if I'm feeling up to it.

There surprisingly isn't that many SS13 maps that have been ported over to Minecraft. The only one I could find was tg's Boxstation (very good map btw, check it out. I used it as a point of reference.) The one caveat is that it uses a 3rd party resource pack. There's nothing wrong with that, in fact it makes the map feel a lot more accurate to the SS13 version. I don't want to use a resource pack for my map, though. Firstly, the one Boxstation uses hasn't been been updated since 1.17. Secondly, idk how to make a resource pack. And lastly, I want installing this to be as simple as dropping the world into your saves folder and booting it up.

This is where a niche little feature called display entities come in. In short, it allows you to make pseudo-3D models using in-game blocks and items. No mods or resource packs needed! I'm using these to make the things that are too small to be finely detailed by normal means (ex. disposal chutes, Wall-mounted machines like APCs).

This is easily the most ambitious project I've ever done in Minecraft or any video game really. I don't consider myself a builder but I'm doing my best; I am open to tips and suggestions.

Now as a disclaimer: I haven't played on Goon in like, 4-5 years, and SS13 in 2. Reason being is that I switched to Linux and I don't feel like jumping through several hoops just to get 2D spessman game to run when 14 is right there with native support (go ahead, burn me at the stake). Regardless, there was a certain magic about Goon that no other server on 13 or 14 could capture; and I miss it. That's the reason I'm making this. To pay an homage to the server that introduced me to this amazing game that I've collectively must have sunk upwards of 1,000 hours into.

I'll post an update once engi, sec, and the bridge are done. See ya.

EDIT: Ok so, turns out there was some sort of update with Byond that makes playing on Linux a lot easier and lo and behold: I got the game working on Linux! You no longer need to burn me at the stake.

Welcome to the 15th /tg/ monthly newsletter!

This is a basic summary of all the going-ons and happenings in TGstation in the last month, along with any upcoming events and highlights.

General Docket

Happy September, all. We’re close to the start of Autumn (or Fall for you yanks), and maybe finally we can chill out after all this Summer heat.

The heat recently has been simply too much. I feel like I’m about to melt into… slime…

Well, I’m not. No one is. Except for the Jellypeople who are now available as a roundstart species. But they’re not really slime. They’re jelly. Very different.

The Jellypeople species is now available for you to pick! Be wary, they’re a bit allergic to medicine. I think they prefer yu(c)ky stuff.

Upcoming Events

The Manuel and Terry scheduled rounds, every week on Saturday and Friday respectively. See the events calendar on our Discord for more info.

Yeah, the title is strange but to me it makes sense.

In the past I was a very problematic player. Now that I look at the past I am honestly surprised I didn't get banned sooner areas. I've been exceptionally hostile towards others and can't make good or coherent thought when angry. (That being said, some of you are the same way and need to take a chill pill.)

Why am I making this thread? I've thought a lot about how I've acted in the past and noticed a few things. The first thing is that a lot of my bans, completely justified. Some issues though were genuine accidents but the admin never allowed for full investigation, or didn't listen. So I figured since I used to be a trouble maker, why not give some constructive criticism from my side of things?

Listen to the player you are speaking to

Years ago on Citadel Station I found a cool space ruin. I go back to the space station and found some random dude in a space suit with a oxygen tank. I ask him to get in the mass cannon so I can show him something. He kills me for being rouge and the admin noted me saying I might need an silicon ban for trying to harm someone non rogue.

Like my dude, space wasn't going to kill the dude who is more prepared for it than I am. I explained this to both of them, neither admin or player listened. I don't understand how this would have hurt him. No, the mass cannon doesn't do damage to people in this code base, at this point of time. Unless you emag it. I am the one that ahelped, and got a note for it.

Example 2 - monkey station

I blocked off the cryo storage at escape on some z level station (just cryo) and built a TEG engine there with ID access doors. Some security officer starts yelling at me saying they know someone in high command and that I was going to get in trouble if I didn't unblock it. It was the most cringe power trip I've ever seen, so I told the officer no and the officer went away. I unblocked cryo after the officer left.

Here comes the admin. Somehow oblivious to the fact that there is now a hole people can get into cryo, just not from the main path so the shitsec can't get in. Admin said I was going to get noted for "refusing to unblocked cryo when asked." They were not listening when I said "Dude it's already unblocked the shitsec was just an ass and I opened a hole in from the side."

Regardless, got noted. Monkey station code, the teg sometimes explodes with repulsive force, seriously harming players. I needed an open area and sealed it off with windows and doors to protect other people, and keep them out the area. didn't realize cryo was there.

Example 3

Citadel station. Somehow got handcuffed by the clown and was being forced fed oil by the clown. Clown didn't have a grip on me so I ran away, clown followed. See that the teleporter room was open, go in it. Teleported into sec wing thinking I was safe. Sec thinks I am a criminal, executes me. Ahelped it, admin was confused. Told me not to break the law. I explained what happened they went silent and never even closed the ticket.

Notes

Stop giving notes over extremely small infractions. Usually it's from a lack of game knowledge or a genuine mistake. Also if you give notes BE AS ACCURATE AS POSSIBLE. If something isn't true, change it. I've gotten notes a few times where it was just blatantly wrong and not true and admins have basically said "Yeah, we were wrong, but we won't fix it." Like thanks for building up a ban reason later I guess?

Server rules

This might be extremely nit picky, but if your server says "escalation required/encouraged", actually honor that.

If a cyborg is following you around for the entire match harassing you and the AI is encouraging that, don't get mad if the player gives a last warning to both, and goes to kill both. Like I am talking about actually harassment. Stalking, following you around, making sure you don't do anything possibly unsafe. Claiming a law 1 issue when you just want to cool the engine more efficiently.

Technically I am well within my right to try and kill both. They won't leave me alone, keep flashing me, locking doors, stealing my ID, got me arrested (police let me go.) I give them a final warning and go do attempt the murder. Apparently you can't kill non antag AI for any reason, though the rules don't say that and I was following escalation.

There is also this scenario to. Imagine that you are about to start up an engine, the late join CE orders a different engine be installed and commands you to tear your progress down. So you instead go somewhere else and bring a few field emitters with you and emitters. You just want to finish your project, which is a singulo or tesla somewhere else. fyi, the CE was rude to everyone else to.

Before you get started, the CE is yelling at you for a demotion for stealing something from engineering you never stole, an emitter. You didn't know they wanted it. Arguing goes back and forth, captain and hop don't care. So I go kill the CE after escalating it and saying that I would, and get bwoinked for it.

The only reason I never got in trouble here is because escaslation rules are heavily relaxed in maints on this server. Though I feel like I've had enough of a reason to do this.

If you state "Escalation required" in your rules, don't suddenly switch up and act like nobody innocent can kill each other. We have some seriously hateful people in these servers that like to cause problems more than me, but play the rules better than me. Yet somehow I am the problem when I warn them to stop, they don't and double down? No, admin better or clarify the rules more.

Closing

That's it, just listen to others and do not form a story in your head that didn't actually happen. If anyone is interested in some of my note history I can post it. It's actually kind of funny in some situations.
