LOOC: MrWillsauce: get him with the rubber duck
LOOC: Magnetite: That's way way too violent.

Last night was hilarious, too bad I had to go sleep. What did the findings show?

[SOLDIER First]

Joining BYOND and BayStation 13 right now.

Hopefully the lowly assistant Lyle Hauser won't get murdered/unfortunately killed/exploded/imploded/poisoned/fatally mutated/incinerated/chestburstered/crushed in a doorway on his first day.

EDIT: SS13 is HARD.

I couldn't even work a damn headset (probably due to my own stupidity, but still.)

[BigD145]

Lots of people ignore assistants. Just pick a job in a department and tell your supervisor you're new on the job. If you don't have a boss then futz about and don't get yourself killed. Or just drink all day at the bar.

[Cheedows]

You could probably jump straight to cargo tech, is a very good introduction to hacking and building.

Yes. Air canisters and portable pumps work. There's a couple pumps outside atmospherics and should be filled up to 4,500 kPa, if the atmos techs/CE are considerate. If you have access, you can also extend the station's atmospheric network into your room and build an air alarm to activate and modify the vents you install. This will fill the room for you to the desired pressure (usually 101 kPa) and keep it at that level to the best of its ability.

if you're new to ss13, this is what i propose to you:

first, go to baystation as cargo tech/assistant (preferably former, but if there's no qm go with latter) and have someone show you the very basics, afterwards meander through low-level jobs with the wiki open for 7-10 more shifts so you get comfortable

afterwards, crash course at gibbed, take whatever job you're comfortable with and try to not get killed until you reliably make it to round end (barring shit beyond your control - plasma fires, admin shenanigans, lolrevswarm) - this should take you a week of dedicated play

then to /tg/ to cool down so you aren't a 120% murderbeast but still know your shit (recommended you learn your security here), back to bay to start kicking through command jobs, end your training by playing ai a couple times and you're ready to play spacemen everywhere with a little adjustation to server-specific shit

[scrdest]

Or you can just come here and learn on the fly, and not have to switch codebases every time.

[Liction]

I remember learning spessmans when it was just two servers with the good ol' thermo electric engine on doughnut station. Lag was a fact of life and rounds rarely lasted over half an hour before the station was a burnt husk from the plasma fires and hull breaches. The halls covered with bodies of thermal wearing sec guards and bystandards who had their faces bashed in with the butt of the revolver and when cloning didn't exist but reviving someone involved turning a person into a monkey and back again.

[LordSlowpoke]

i miss the plasma drive so fucking bad

these were the days when spacemen were hardcore, now not even bayatmos on extreme settings compared

[miauw62]

The TEG still exists. Andrea, me, and some other guys once built an entire TEG from scratch on Andrea's backup server.

The TEG will always be my favorite engine.


Also, why are people looking back to lag as if it's a good thing. Years of carefully removing/refactoring shitcode has brought a new era where 2d spesshmans doesn't feel like you're playing it over a sattelite connection.

[Slayerhero90]

The game keeps not being able to set secret up.

It's good now. We could also use some more people, we have 10 right now.

ah, the good old times of !!SCIENCE!! (yes, there was fire involved. A lot of fire.).
people need to build them more often.

I believe that was the three of us. I remember dying, a lot.

But yeah, TEG's still work, but they can't handle the powerload of modern stations IIRC.
