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

  • 🔧 Actively working on site again.
Updates
  • meteor mode
  • compressed matter implant no longer destroys storage items and itself when you try to put it into a backpack or whatever (@HahaYes)
  • firelock prying now produces a sound (@HahaYes)
  • mining brokeromat has finally been added
  • you no longer need to re-enter your body to allow cloning to scan you
    • (this should also mean they can keep a previous dead body of you around and scan that instead if they want)
  • you can now build tables again finally (not directly related shitcode deletion fixed this as well)
  • cat person speed should be fixed
Next session in 10 minutes
 
The time is now, all true stationers log on ATTACK

Issues from today that will be addressed:
  • nanoui is breaking for people on the latest byond it appears
  • new character creation became buggy at some point and nobody noticed due to not making new characters
Also, null shill seems to have been effective, the last time we hit 11 players was may 4th which I think was the VG outreach

Feel free
1) Noahgoldfox (NGF) has a thread on the farms. Autistic German who speedran "100% ban all major servers" cause he kept posting latex fury porn. Still doing it a decade later.
2) There was a server called BestRP (renamed at some point) Unbound Travels.
The first major host was a guy named Purlek. He didn't do jack shit for code and raked in like 3k a month. He had a Head Admin called Emanuele Basil would could flatter the fuck out of anyone. Purlek left because people called him a shitmin. Then there is a high admin/host at one point a man named Jamie. He ran the server at some point and hosted it on school computers and more or less got in trouble for that.
Then, an by the name of Yithani (Reddit link) who drama dumped (Who had like some incurable autoimmune disease, this is important). A third host came a long and he was not happy so he doxxed the host, supposedly (?) got the FBI involved and doxed Jamie, got him fired. Tried to make his own server but nobody would use it ala DSP anon-y-mouse leaks called Aphelion Project. Trooned.
Emannuale Bassil then went on to get in major shit with baystation for some reason I don't know.
3) /tg/'s host MSO (Mister Stoned One) suing Russian SS13 devs and Colonial Marines because they didn't open source the code on request over the new Master Controller system (In short, someone picking a fight over GPL licensing enough to sue them in Russia and the US).
4) Mattoks who did interbay and Interwar (WW2 combat) had people steal his shit and then DMCA him or some shit.
5) Baystation voting someone as head admin after 5 years of not playing to spite the team.
6) Estban, creator of Stalker Station (and which all STALKER SS13 servers are derived from), blowing his brains out in Slavland in a suicide
7) Ashen sky (STALKER downstream) putting in in game pay2win lootboxes
8 )Goonstation drama after Trump election where they purged the mods who were "right leaning" and accusing each other of being "LE EBIL NAZIS!"
9) Polaris splitting from Bay because of "metalclique" issues, then becoming like bay, dying off and Aurora splitting from polaris, doing same thing. The irony.
10) Urist Mcstation (first rendition) getting yeeted off Bay12forums for Drama.
11) Every Fallout server becoming a ERP dungeon ever and dying of drama.
12) World server dev couldn't figure out a way to "save" the state of the world efficently, so it would be a 5 minute halt while the world was saved and rebooted.
13) Europa dead because of dev drama (mostly baydevs so that's not a suprise)
14) CM getting DMCA by the owners of Aliens Franchise
15) Every "muh AGPL is valid" argument ever over GPL-3 (lmao)
16) Goon's codebase release drama in 2016
17) Lebenstraum (WW2 combat server) admins nerfing women in game because "Women aren't as strong as life IRL", gets ass handed to him by a player using a woman, banhammers said player.
18 ) Lifeweb shit I talked about already
19) Hippie station host trooning out and DFE.
20) Tannhauser gate being an affront to Richard Wagner and needing some Flammenwafer (It's a ERP station based off Citadel/Skyrat).
21) An ERP station that was unlisted (I don't know name) where the hosts (a couple) were too busy ERPing and had to get off otherwise CPS would take their kids?
22)Kevin, a big Citadel/vg coder, coding in a systems to calculate atmos outside of the shitty BYOND engine.
23) Ashen sky devs "I ALFA MODMAKER" moment of demofesen lore.
24) Skyrat requires you to self-dox to play on the 2dspacefurry game with selfie and gov ID.
25) Alleged, unlisted Russian ERP server with CP (No proof for our English speaking asses unfortunately), supposedly one of the folks had ties to CEV ERIS team.

Been a while since I played but those are the major ones I can recall off the top of my head. Excluding the extremely common "they groomed minors" drama on ERP servers every day that ends in a y.
What's the official in-universe lore so far for Kiwi Station 13?

Half of these summaries made my fucking sides hurt, thank you for this
Emanuele Basil
Is this why two of /tg/station's servers are "Manuel" and "Basil"? :story:
25) Alleged, unlisted Russian ERP server with CP (No proof for our English speaking asses unfortunately), supposedly one of the folks had ties to CEV ERIS team.
Ssethtzeentach talked about this one on stream, it was supposedly a rape ERP server that allowed pedoshit and was only online for a few hours a day. Should be on either his first DLive stream, or the stream where he played Might and Magic, assuming my memory isn't failing me
Edited for formatting and phrasing

I rememebered trying servers like Aurora or Bay, they are fun, and I like a higher standard of roleplay, but like everything in this game, the admins ruin it
I was an admin on Beestation when had an LRP server and it was some of the most fun I had with the game. Before leaving, I warned them that spitting on the people that made the servers fun was a retarded idea, but they decided they would rather be advertised on the official SS13 website ran by redditors. They have gone from having 2 servers that each had 100 people in it to capping at 40. Glad to see they're getting fucked.

Retarded niggers that should all be killed for incompetence once again have more players than me

Aryan gigachads who survived the first meteor round in however many years it's been, even when one hit the shuttle literally JUST as we were about to launch. Ty @MAAAD for helping get it fixed so we could actually get out before we all became paste you're the best

Also building a bunch of windows and locking me outside like right after it launched was perfect 10/10 :story:

I can't recreate the broken UI issues some people were having if anyone can provide any more information on what was happening to them please do so (I thought it must be a version mismatch but testing that did not seem to reproduce the issue)
 
Time for some stories!

>eventually calls for help but it's too late, gets left behind
I felt really bad for the fella (:_(, seconding that hopefully this didn't scare him away from the game

@geckogoy I don't know if I'm asking for too much, but /vg has a built-in BYOND screenshot feature: you press an F2 key and it makes a screenshot of the game window only at User\spessman\Documents\BYOND\screenshots. For example (not powerleveling because it's an old screenshot from a localhost):
Elegant Battle Fortress Ten 2024-06-04 232949.png
Would it be possible to implement this or is it a sysiphean feat for a codebase this old? This feature would make it so much more convenient to take kino screenshots.

>AbsolutelyFuckedEvacHall.png
I was completely blind from brain damage the minute I got pulled out of cryo by the bartender (after the chef and I were KIA valiantly trying to protect the station from tranny captain faggotry), holy fuck THAT was the state of the evac hall?! How the hell did we even make it back to centcomm in one piece

Bridge and core hallways were completely untouched. Also when me and John H got to Evac there was already another guy chilling there. No clue if he was there the whole time and lucked out or if he got there first after the main destruction. There were a lot of gibs in Evac though.

Yeah I recall the bridge and main halls were all good and getting to evac with you after Gecko went sicko mode with meteors, just had no idea evac itself was pretty much non existent, thought just the south side had been obliterated tbh. As for the gibs I remember some poor niggas brain floating around while we waited for the shuttle to show up but didn't see the rest of it
