It looks like the disposals mass driver sends stuff by the pirate radio station and chapel's sends stuff to the asteroid. I'm assuming the asteroid can only be reached via coffin or locker. Pirate station can be reached any which way. The radio station is near the derelict, but you won't hit anything via mass driver without a catch net or EVA redirect.

Why are we completely under-utilizing the Gateway? What's the trick to using it? I've read it needs more power.

Actually when you leave a Z-level you arrive at a random new Z-level. So you could go south a couple times and then arrive at the exact same location that you left from.

You can't use the Gateway for anything.

[BigD145]

I might have been fiddling with Bay12's branch that has a working Gateway. Not sure.

I think it's just randomized on every round start, much like door wires.

[Nienhaus]

If I'm right none of the areas are turned on so it doesn't work, Trust me I've tried many times.

Here it is, my redrawing off the permabrig. Tell me what you think.It's made to give prisoners more space, and make it more prone to ridiculously awesome last ditch escape attempts. Also, I made a room for the lethal injection, just for aesthetics sake.

EDIT: I just realized I fucked up the northeast corner of the laundry room. Fixing that now.

EDIT2: And the wall of the prison library, fixing that too.

[Nienhaus]

That looks pretty awesome.
Edit; You should add light switches.

According to the TG wiki, the gateways are currently borked indefinitely.

Thanks! I added a broken bottle in the top cell for some FUN, hehehe. It's hidden under that piece of paper.

Edit: Besides those two issues, anything I should change/add?

[wlerin]

Erm. You realize that splitting the station up across z-levels makes having a single dedicated engineering section rather pointless, right?

Over the break (coming up on friday) I'll start actually merging the anomalies I added from BS12. Anyone one want anything else changed? (Preferably mapping stuff but I can do coding as well).

[Aklyon]

Well, not all ninja objective seem to work, or maybe it was just because I added one and it didn't trigger it for some reason. Either way, I won the extended round and only Miaw and a monkey really spotted me

Like what, electronics?

Why is that? Engineers don't have some sort of magical implant/disease that prevents them from using shuttles. And it makes engineering much less boring.

True, but in terms of small revisions to the map like these, that won't affect /tg/station compatibility for the most part. It's when we start adding our own tiles/code/objects that it starts to get dicey.

The biggest problem with making tons of map changes is that they are extremely hard to merge with map updates that TG pushes. The second biggest reason we havn't looked at the map very hard thus far is game balance.

I have also created a new repository using github, the link is here. The benefit of this source is that anyone can download the repo in .zip format, instead of requiring a SVN or some other process from googlecode. TG switched to this same service as well. We have not had a meaningful discussion on which format we will use going forward yet.
