Also, I'll try to do a part of medbay, but I may run out of time due to exams.
E: Map won't compile, barsigns.dmi is missing :/
E2: Except for the fact that it's actually there. Maybe it's improperly referenced?
E3: I fixed it. In barsigns.dm, you just put in icon = "barsigns.dmi", should've been icon = "icon/obj/barsigns.dmi"
E4: I made a pull request with just the fix. It's my first time using github, so tell me if I did anything wrong/suboptimal.

Urgh. Replace that tree. It looks... MS Paint-y. As do all the original un-improved sprites, but still.

We are doomed. It's just that whatever is going to kill us all just happens to be, from a scientific standpoint, pretty frickin' awesome.

One thing I thought I should point out:  The bridge is very removed from the station.  Where the current map has a view of the main crossroads of the station, this map has a very large distance and two solid walls between the bridge and the nearest public space.

This element works two ways, firstly it gives command staff inside the bridge a view of the general traffic in the central corridor.  Secondly it gives the public a view of what is happening on the bridge.

It doesn't matter too much to me, but i thought i'd point it out.

Here's a suggestion: seperate the meeting hall table for the heads from the rest with an (electrified) window and give it an acces directly into the bridge. It may be a bit hard to place, tough.

Also, while I would love to do medbay, I have no idea how to start on it.

Yeah, it's since been taken out. I'll have to figure out what to put in its place. Ideas?

I could always just turn those two walls separated by space behind their table into two windows separated by space.

As I said, you can put it back in, but use the sprites that are used for the pine tree mob. It may still look a bit out of place, tough. With the snow and all that.

Yeah, that's the issue. I don't really want some random snow tree there. Hmmm...

If you want botany to love you forever, put a sink in the middle of that long row of planting trays.

I'm liking it so far. It's pretty, and quite an efficient build it looks like. The environments (like HoS dorms and even the cafe and central garden) make for some good RP places in general. The aesthetic and mechanical flow of everything looks like it would work well in general.

Now I'm curious about the many ways it can all break into a horrible mess in future events, and how the design can also work against us under certain circumstances.

How's this look:


Key features include:
Integrated Medical Research Area! With:
-Shared surgical theatre for Medbay and Robotics. Two operating tables, perfect for brain transplants!
-Chemistry Windows leading to R&D, Robotics and the Medbay Treatment Area.
-Lobby Access to the Cloning Department for easy backups/Clone releases.
-Volunteer Waiting Area for Genetic Manipulation/Borging patients.
-Expanded Patient Rooms for Medbay!
-Easy Access to CMO Offices, Toxins Storage, R&D, Patient Dormitory and Space from Virology! Just chop through a single wall!

xeno and virology might want to be farther out... also the morgue needs to be in a spot where the cook and the chaplain can get at it. and the AI needs to be farther out. other than that i like it.
OH! and we need a bomb range.

Morgue access for the Chaplain/Cook can be obtained by pushing the wall between the Volunteer Waiting Area and the Mech Bay north a bit and putting in a door. Easy enough. Likewise for moving Xeno/Viro/AI further out. Bomb Range is implied by the Toxins Test Room, I just didn't draw one in.
