MetaStation
MetaStation is a largely complete map available in the /tg/ codebase as an alternative to the default map. MetaStation was previously run on Badger, and is now the default map on the second official /tg/ server, Basil. An older version has been running on NoxStation for some time. It has been play-tested quite extensively and has been generally well received. Due to this play-testing, it is now largely bug free, and most feedback revolves around gameplay changes and balancing. It is largely maintained and updated by Metacide, but based on and uses the work of many others.
Key points to note are that:
- The map plays best with 30+ players.
- The only change is the layout - functionality is the same.
- It feels much bigger and more open, attacks in public are harder to get away with.
- It has a much larger maintenance system, useful for stealthier tactics.
- There are in-game maps on the walls of the station to help you find your way.
- The AI and Telecoms are now located on the "MiniSat" near engineering.
- The escape shuttle is larger, with a cargo hold for valuable gear.
- All jobs have local maint. access to their nearest public hallway.
Please give any feedback you may have in that thread, too.

BoxStation (Black) and MetaStation (Green).
Hosting MetaStation using normal /tg/ code isn't too complicated, but does require a recompile. In future this may be easier, but for now:
- Don't host the game whilst making these changes.
- Open tgstation.dme
- Select the files tab on the top left of the screen
- Expand the '_maps' folder in the file tree.
- Untick "tgstation" or other current map, and tick the "metastation" option.
- Click the build dropdown at the top, and click compile. This may take a minute.
- Once compiled, run the resulting BYOND executable (.dmb) as you would normally.
Updated 2014/04/05. Please report any new issues or give feedback here.
-
Unexpected fun- Shouldn't happen again. - Some areas, including primary tool storage and the mini sec area below the gulag shuttle, count as in maint for some reason and so lose access restrictions on doors, which flash, during emergency maint all-access.
- There are suggestions the AI is too fortified.
- No other known issues.
Updated 2014/04/05. For more development info or to suggest changes, click here.
- Add dedicated firefighting rooms to maint.
- Add a few minor loot spawners to armory which spawn regular officer gear.
- Fix irregulaties when all-access maint. is declared - this opens doors around primary tool storage, including the sec backroom.
- Check the department tags on all request consoles - head offices appear under assistance, chaplain's office under supplies?
- Replace the garden with many small ones around the station, with public machines outside botany.
- Add some small things to explore in space.
- Make a horizontal emergency shuttle?
- Make a mini-maint in virology for easier sabotage?
- Switch CMO and genetics locations for more centralised healing area in medbay?
- Eventually introduce a new derelict.
- Port the map to Baystation 12's code.
- Add more proper camera names each update.
- Add more interesting loot spawners to the station.
- Try and eliminate the number of areas where there are overlapping wall items.
