🥝 Community Kiwi Space Station 13 Server (2024 edition) - Space Station 13

Is making a null Ian an option that seems funny and thematic

First playtest is tomorrow at 6PM ET

Yeah, Null's server had a Slobbermutt mob. If you look through the github you could fish out the code+sprite for that. IIRC it didn't replace Ian; it was actually the captain's dog. Personally I think that's even funnier, particularly given how hostile he apparently was.

Cook Ian at roundstart Captain run.

@geckogoy Why not make the server online 24/7 for a week or more? Make the time when the server has the most activity part of your schedule.

Do AIs have to follow suicide laws?

Peak player count?

Do AIs have to follow suicide laws?

Yes, but issuing suicide laws without a valid reason is illegal and warrants permanent confinement or execution. The latter is what you will probably get if there's an active security force on the station.

Peak player count?

Approximately 0 lol

edit:

Spoiler: correction: actually 1

hey, not even all of them were me

We'll see how today goes

Also yea, my opinion is avoid getting programmed with a suicide law if you like being alive

 

[Maude Snew]

I am le tired.

Well have a nap then fire zee missiles.

 

[Teghern]

I hereby commit to spending 4 hours constructing weird shit when I next have a day off work.

 

[Finger Pistols]

Where's my nigga @byuu? I know he can recommend you some mods for your server

 

[Rungle]

 

[GaryGray]

I will try to get on when available but unable to commit to a specific time till next week.

 

[Saddam Hussain Obama]

gaming is for losers

 

[geckogoy]

Yeah will being a nigger is for niggers, didn't think of that did you

Anyways plan is I'm going to hold in lobby for like 5-10 minutes after official start time to wait for some people to accumulate, then I will do a blob event where you all die to the blob (I did adjust balance a bit to give you more of a chance). After that I'll just run a relatively normal rotation for a couple hours so people can learn and stuff if they want

 

[geckogoy]

OK that was a decent start (peaked at 9 people) but definitely the biggest problem is a lack of things to do during low pop, and second biggest is improving performance.

I have secret plans for this that I will announce when they are more complete. I think the idea to move the start time to after the MATI stream ends might also be a good idea. Does anyone know how to re-do a poll to vote on that?

 

[Polyboros2]

I popped on briefly, and I've largely completely forgot how to play the game. I'll definitely play some more next week though.

 

[Jotch]

Not the most glamorous grand opening, but still good time!
I do think it is a good plan to have open server and pop events. Since the open server with deadpop is probably great for autism experiments.
As for more things to do, I personally like VG code, maybe you can steal some things from them. Might be a pain in the ass so I won't feel bad if you don't.

Feel free to DM me with any specific things you'd like to see come over and I could open their code and look

 

[Lurkerish Kandor]

I've always been interested in SS13 because I love games with autistic as fuck mechanics, but when I gave it a try a few years back, couldn't find any newbie friendly servers (despite several of them advertising as specifically noob friendly).

My big question is how well does it deal with high latency players? I live in a shitty south pacific country that gets at best a ping of about 200ms, specifically to Californian servers, and anywhere else in america I'm looking at 400+. Euro or Asian servers I'd be looking at 600-800.

Is SS13's gameplay slow enough and is its netcode robust enough for me to still have an okay time of it, or is a ping like that going to result in multiple commands layering over each other and me otherwise constantly desyncing?

 

[Warren Wilhelm]

I messed around in the server for a bit when it first launched. Will try to stop by now and then if others are on especially during the weekend. I suck at SS13 but still really dig it. It's a one-of-a-kind game and I won't forgive janny tranny nolifers for damn near killing it entirely.
