Voting in the lobby may or may not cause problems. I forget if that was fixed. Voting in world is fine. Usually. byond is fickle.

I restared the server and set up the singularty and then it got loose ... so restarted again lol

[Dorsidwarf]

Huuuuuuuuuurhhh.

What the hell do you people do when I'm not on that breaks the server every goddamn day?

[miauw62]

I could ask sos for the specifics of the tg box, since they don't crash nearly as much.
That said, sleepingpills has an automated script that pulls the latest code, recompiles and reboots the server.

I've plotted the idea for a microstation, for 10 or less players. I suggest this map be used for small amounts of players or adminfuckery, if I make it.

The entire thing is built into an asteroid, Arrivals, Cargo, a Solar array, Escape, and a Mining Shuttle are the only things that aren't encased in rock.

Arrivals connects directly to a common area below it of about the same size, this area opens to a hallway, and to the side, Cargo. Cargo connects to the solars.

The hallway connects to Research, the largest part of the station, a miniscule Medbay, and Service, which is a combination bar/kitchen/hydroponics and a combined library/chapel.

Security attaches to the tiny Medbay, and is even tinier. Medbay also connects to Service (the chapel part) and a long hallway to the mining shuttle, built into the rock.

Service connects to Escape, which is a hallway containing most of the lockers normally found all over the station leading to the shuttle area.

I personally suggest this be used on 10-player Changeling (adminfuckery), 10 human Aliens (adminfuckery on 5 or so people of 15), or Syndicate Raid (sort of like Nuke Ops in that a bunch of people spawn on a ship outside the station. This requires the most work and is meant for no more than 20 people. The ship is normally a pirate derelict outside the Mining Asteroid port.

There are six lockers on the ship. One is found in a private room also containing kits to make infectious blood grenades, a Plague Doctor outfit, two Mini Uzis and ammo, and a Syndicate Bomb.

The other five lockers all contain a revolver, a speed loader, Plague Doctor outfits sans masks, and smoke grenades.

---

There's a sectioned off area of the station requiring access not normally given on the station, containing a couple of laser rifles, a couple of stunguns, a box of flashbangs, a box of handcuffs, and a couple armors.

---

The only jobs that are valid are Cook/Chef/Bartending, which really only one person should be playing but can be up to three, Chaplain + Library (one job that can be two), one RD, two Researchers, one Quartermaster, one Miner, one CMO, one Security Officer, and one Station Engineer. So yes, there needs to be some coordination- at lowest 10 fills every job, though you could potentially squeeze in 13~16 people working (clown+mime, chemist, a few other specialties).

There is no bridge, the station is evacuated on a timer. Captains spawn in the derelict room with the special locker, HoPs spawn in Security and can open the secret armoury, Assistants spawn on the derelict as "pirate mooks", everyone else spawns and dies in space immediately. It's a map we can't regularly use, of course, if I even make it, but there's something enticing about single ling rounds on a very tiny station.

You can change the jobs so that you have "service personnel","guard" and sutch without killing people needlessly.

[Tsuchigumo550]

You can change jobs and the like through maps? What happens when all jobs have maxed people? I could set Miner to like 10 cap, I guess.

[Aseaheru]

When all jobs are capped then its just a assistant.

I am not positive how (probably in the map code) but I know one station has various ones.

Trying something a bit new to me.

As xenobiologist, how do I stop my pet slimes trying to eat my precious, precious brains?  I've followed the guide(s), and have made sure that I'm in the pen when they're eating the monkeys, can see me, etc...but they still seem incredibly prone to simply stun-attacking and glomping me.  Am I doing something wrong, or is this normal?

[Nienhaus]

Turn yourself into a slime person. They they will love you forever.

[Jacob/Lee]

Sitting in their pen is a good way to get killed, even while they're feeding. Slimes have a variable called "friend" that makes them less likely to violently assault whoever is on that list and any mob can be added as long as they're in sight. Just standing outside the pen is enough to add you to that list. Slimes will pretty much always attack you if they're starving, unless you're a slime person.

The way I do it is I clear the pen of all but my choice slime, throw in a monkey, and wait for it to grow to an adult, then throw in another. It usually splits by that point.

It's not in the map code, taking away spawn points just messes up spawning and they start in the lobby screen. It's in the job code how many of each position there can be.

[Tsuchigumo550]

Hrm, damn. I might make a separate spawn point filled with all kinds of bullshit that you can't get in or out of without god tier dickery. Almost a micro sandbox, but no actual spawn menu.

Good to know, thanks (I think the slime-person solution might be a bit beyond my ken at the moment, Neinhaus!  )

Another question (I'm messing around with different jobs now, so forgive the random curiosity!) - is it possible to construct and/or order additional SMESes on the station?  Didn't see anything in the construction guides about them, and the supply crates don't seem to contain SMESes or parts for them.

Allright, that makes more sense.
