Everyone in this thread is wrong.

The real answer is: everyone learned all the secrets of the game.

Yep. That is it.

Now that everyone knows everything, all the servers are basically powergaming and TTT.

Unless you can find 50 new people willing to start playing the game, you won't ever have the 2011-2012 SS13 experience again unless a new Lifeweb comes out.

The /tg/ server is basically Counter Strike in space

The /vg/ server has a bunch of discord twats in charge of metagaming

Rest of the servers are complete shit

Space Station 13 doesn't need a big community. It's prefect as a small game not yet full of fucking normies. The shitty engine deturs anyone who is a fag. If the community gets bigger this game will be ruined.

i got the urge to play ss13 again so i installed byond and joined yogstation (which was to my mind a medium rp server) and joined as janitor since i just wanted to get used to the awful controls again

as i start heading towards medbay to clean up the blood, the mime slips me with a banana peel, steals the garbage bag that i dropped and started pulling my janicart away at the speed of light

i instantly remembered why i stopped playing ss13, faggots that just grief for literally no reason and honestly this is what kills it
>>
>>378545556
Because I should be able to RP a killer but I'll get banned if I do it. Fuck your meta.

>>378545556

you kill maybe 2 people then get permabanned, or you just ruin the round for everyone on the server if you are free to kill people

Hard RP servers contain the most degenerate autists on the internet. Every interaction is cringe and the round takes hours because they decide to hold a court case over a fucking fist fight in the bar. The only way to have tolerable RP is to visit servers with a good balance between gameplay and RP which /tg/ and /vg/ used to fall under until metafriending and admin drama became the norm and now everyone is displaced because literally all the servers are irredeemable shit

considering i already got permabanned once from yogstation like 2 years ago because i put another mime (what the fuck is it with cancerous mime faggots) into critical because he was pretending to be the cmo and stunning and handcuffing people and locking them into the patient rooms in medbay and NONE of the admins gave a fuck that he was doing this so im 99% sure the guy was a friend of the admins and that is just fucking pathetic
>>
>>378546654
I finally snapped and went crazy BAM

I always thought one of the worst things about some of the servers, specifically the ones that were less RP intensive, was that nobody went with random names. Every game you'd see Bigpenis McFuckface running around doing the exact same shit with the exact same people and its all just one big circlejerk metagame-fest.
>>
>>378547094
I believe "MY CHARACTER IS CRAZY!!11" was specifically listed as a shit excuse to do so, actually.

>>378547164

i think that true high rp servers are worse because it attracts utter turbo autists and then you have paradise station which is full of disgusting fucking furrys ERPing in the bar

because byond cant connect to any servers on 90% of computers

>>378547225

Don't even pretend that byond is a suitable engine for ss13. It has it's own forced built in lighting which is absolutely fucking shit, When any modern day TOASTER could do pixel perfect 2D shadows effortlessly. And since it has such an amazingly shit appearance and rendering system making a true shadowcasting lighting system is literally impossible.

It's a 2D sprite only engine that still manages to fuck up and not be able to render things clientside easily and efficiently despite this being the easiest rendering setup you could possibly have.

SS13 has plenty of players, but its issues number in the hundreds and no one is interested in fixing them.

Chief among them:

1) The game itself requires constant 24/7 micro-administration, forcing the appointment of administrators who micromanage every single aspect of the game indiscriminately and suffocate any kind of fun.

2) One of the game's primary fun things is utilizing all of the engineering systems to build cool things or accomplish large goals, yet rounds last an hour at most. Like building sandcastles right beside the waves, your fun creations will be washed away by the tides of the escape shuttle before anyone has time to enjoy them.

3) The game's development went sour a long time ago. Space Station 13 used to be a serious game. There were no clowns or poop or space carp or memes scattered throughout the game. It was a serious noir-style wolf among sheep experience. There was comedy, but it wasn't forced or even intended. The comedy came from the juxtaposition of bizarre unserious things happening on board the serious environment of a commercial space station. The HoP throwing mutineers out the airlock, the nuclear operatives stealing the Captain's genecode and disguising their entire team as him, the engineers ejecting the engine department and building their own mini-station around it, etc.

All of these things are funnier than things developers forced into the code specifically to elicit cheap laughs. And crucially, they do not ruin the atmosphere of the game like cheap gags do.

This is why I thought on scaling down the interactable elements and number of classes at first and adding them over time if the game is successful.
Instead of a space station, it would play with horror movie tropes, so no need for mechanics, engineers, geneticists and chemists at launch.

yeah real shit, theres no right way to play that game because the admins are either on full alert all the time or they let people run rampant, I think the best way to play that game is to get like a discord or teamspeak running and play with some people you know by name so you can at least call them out by name when they're being cunts but the game is too big for that at the same time.

~Guide to Space Station 13 Servers~

1/2

-LOW ROLEPLAY SERVERS-

>goonstation

a closed-source, high quality, low-fat codebase with a touch too much coriander and two scoops too many aging yuppie administrators who get off on asserting their retarded liberal wills over tweens and young teens

>tgstation

an ultra-dense neutron star of compacted human feces. the codebase is a horrible mess where old important systems and interactions are neglected in favor of flashy new bullshit that completely breaks the game's tone, like 'devil mode' and 'magical monster hunter mining'. a convincing argument for why coders should be given zero power and should be 100% beholden to the users' desires. [they have literally tried to add auto-aim to the game after a coder died on his traitor round due to missing a lot](https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/11786)

the atmosphere is almost as suffocatingly political as goonstation - despite claiming to be a 4chan server, 99% of the current userbase is from tumblr or reddit and saying 'nigger' or 'tranny' is bannable. this server is basically rome in its latest days, except you can't fuck little boys there (sadly)

>vgstation

a codebase with some cool features which don't excuse the fact that it's a literal dinosaur - years behind every other codebase and not getting any better.

this too is not your average 4chan server, i would say the primary distinction about the userbase of vgstation is that it's extremely 'namefag-centric'. there are a lot of persistent personalities on vgstation who love to kick up retarded drama and try to get each other banned whenever they feel their peers are soaking up too much of their attention.

>hippie

supposed to be the 'lax rules low-rp robustness' server now that nox is dead, yet it has a glacially slow movespeed like it's baystation. i have no idea why people play here

>colonial marines

aliens vs humans deathmatch with 200ms+ of lag, the worst possible codebase for deathmatch gameplay,
>>
>>378560121
I seriously doubt that nobody knows you.
I've been playing on /vg/station for two months now and people certainly recognize me.
Last week I got scolded because I didn't know how to treat a plasmaman even though I played Medical Doctor so often.
Fuck non-humans, get out of my medbay you vermin.

Maybe you are just good at what you do and don't stand out negatively so nobody calls you out.

>>378560629
- (baycode), and, by a landslide, the worst staff of any space station 13 server.

it is headed by a brain damaged military veteran who doles out permabans for any criticism of the server, which is staffed by moderators who range between 14 and 18 years old and constantly spawn themselves in as a godmode class and kill dozens of humans and aliens whenever they're feeling bored. avoid at all costs. this is the closest thing to a Garry's Mod 'darkRP' server you'll find on SS13, inbetween the hormonal staff members and the laughable implication that this deathmatch could be called a 'roleplay' experience

-HIGH ROLEPLAY SERVERS-


>baystation, polaris, aurora

these are all exactly the same thing. the only reason they are even split up is because the primary recreational activity on high ``roleplay'' servers, drama, often leads to community schisms.

the codebases are ultra-casualized, if that word can apply here. the move speeds are lowered to levels that disallow intelligent dodging, the stamina and armor systems are adjusted toward statistical attrition so that the more heavily geared party wins 99% of the time, and in that other 1% where something narratively interesting happens, the losing party will batphone their administrator friend whom they are erotic roleplaying with in a Discord channel, at which point said administrator will inform you that it is illegal to harm furries on this server and you are no longer welcome here

some say that good roleplay is like a collaborative writing experience, like dozens of skilled authors all working on one great book. if you like books where there are 100+ flawless furry ego insertions all trying to be the main character, where there is no antagonist or villain plot because having bad things happen to the characters hurts their writers' feelings, and where reality is generally suspended in favor of constructing the ultimate velvety-gloved comforting social chat environment, you're in luck.

As someone who used to be an admin for several servers, I think I can help shed some light here.

>SS13
>Dead

Literally just yesterday /tg/station had 93 players on one server and like 60-80 on the other. That's like, the opposite of dead.
Colonial Marines pulls in like 140 players all the time. SS13 is very much alive, however some servers with shitty communities, shitty code, shitty admins or all three are starting to die.

This includes high roleplay servers like Apollo Station, which rarely gets more than 9 players, and even then, all anyone does is sit in the bar and circlejerk, or Hippie Station, a shithole plagued by lazy, biased admins, notorious powergamers, and one of the absolute most whiny playerbases I've ever seen. Hippie is struggling to get more than 40 players at a time, I see it normally average around 25-35.

Even Citadel, the literal fucking vore station gets more players than either of these servers.

tl;dr, no, SS13 is not dead or dying, only shitty servers.

Most players initially try it out because they see the amazing stories that come out of it but upon trying to play they find complex and vague rules that vary by the server and constant warnings that they will be banned if they do anything fun. Essentially having fun in SS13 means never knowing if you're going to be breaking rules so players either get scared off or banned.
>>
>>378560743
Despite your politically motivated nonsense about /tg/station and goon, you're actually spot fucking on here. The HRP servers are literally all the same, except sometimes they have different maps and different snowflake races. Outside of that, they're just the same server. Play one, you've played them all. I do admittedly play on HRP servers from time to time because shitting the place up is fun, and the slow nature is fun to chill out to sometimes. Very, very rarely sometimes, but still sometimes.

It's a real shame that one Russian drug addict coder make a more feature heavy, every week large updated, artistically consistent with great sprites heavy RP server with ZERO rules where RP is forced only by gameplay and community server.

I think their mistake is trying to copy and paste current year ss13 all on their own. That's one hell of an en-devour and it's no surprise they get drained of will in their projects and give up. Just slap together the skeleton and let the community fill in the rest over time like it was originally. We don't need full autistic fort building, genetics, cult & rev, ghetto tool crafting, and 20+ random event scenario buttons on launch. Just get atmos and lighting done, role rolling, and minor work on a station/ship. Let the autists fill it up over the next decade on their own time.

I can't say if it's worth it or not but it's better than any byond game. It has complex fully working combat system with actually complex rpg stats, combat styles and moves like kick or bite, life system and organs are actually fully done to the point where you can dissect ever part of the person from skin to his meat and organs, survival mechanics and diseases actually work and make sense because of a working life system and that's just base mechanics.
>>
lifeweb is decent, very nice roleplay happens without any intervention due to how hard it is to get in and how harsh the punishments are, plus there's a ton of depth and the theme is really consistent. however, it's really edgy and everyone hypes it up way too much

bay is probably fun if you enjoy legitimate roleplay and all the less-than exciting parts of it. (sitting around in your office, doing paperwork, etc) combat is pretty fucked too, you're supposed to do shit like threaten people and take hostages and all that, but sec or someone in your team usually can just take that as an opportunity to open fire while everyone else is typing

hippie is 2D space TTT

TG used to be like /vg/, but it was overwhelmed by people that didn't give a shit about roleplay and now it's just slightly above hippie in terms of RP. it's TG instead of /tg/ because they had officially separated from any association to 4chan

/vg/ is currently going down the shitter because of refugees from other shitty servers, distrust between coders and players, and horrible administration

im telling you there is a """""""remake""""""" in progress that's a bit different from the others, and its being approached in a way so that it isn't overscoped.

its based on idtech1

im set to do the campaign and maybe some misc feature development. its gonna be a multiplayer focused wad, but the campaign will serve to not only be a "tutotrial" for the game to teach you how to play many roles and perform basic tasks, but also deliver a ton of background.

i have a tendency to piss off the main man by talking too much about it/releasing internal vids, so i'm just gonna leave it at that. you might have seen webms of it before if you've been around a while.

i'm also working on a spin off for it based on a reverse engineered copy of Wasteland (the precursor to Fallout from the 80s) that ties into the campaign. here's a really early (very boring) snapshot i made of it some months ago:

I dont really remember what happened after that. It wasnt that good of a story compared to my slippery bird clown story or the one where I was chaplain and got tricked into helping the lings win storu, but that was the only one that got autists riled up

This. Although I don't agree that it's dying I agree with the elitism that exists in it. I've played ss13 for a good 40 hours and know a few jobs pretty well, but the other day I tried something completely new and when I didn't do everything right in the first 5 minutes, the fucking ooc was full of retarded manchildren yelling "JOB BAN NOW".
>>
>>378581738
The current headmin is insane but he is also smart. He knows these two wont make it past a month and is doing this as a "we tried it before, they both sucked so much ass they wi never get another shot", since he already stated they couldnt squad, do nothing and get admin. Those two dont have the people skills to actually deal with a single dindu, especialy xevo the netagrudge focused walmart janitor.

What a lousy end to a good story, bet the admin was the one playing HOS.

Reminds me of the one time I played captain and similar happened to me, slowly every single sec member and leadership turned on me when I did nothing wrong. They were running around with improvised weapons going "huehuehuehue" or whatever that shit is. Ahelped multiple times with no response.

Rounds ends with me in perma, they were mostly admins and regulars just having shits and giggles.
>>
>>378539889
The game's not dead, it's just super stagnate since there's every round is a binary choice between:

>Go around stealing shit before valid hunting
>Do your repetitive job until something happens, then you valid hunt

The metagame has evolved to the point where the dominant antag strategy is just to sneak around and hide the entire round unless it's Nuke or late-round Cult, and since griff has been cut down to the point that any "natural" trouble leads to near instantly getting banned/jobbanned most rounds just come down to waiting for stuff to happen now.

Mind you it's still a fun enough game but it's a fun enough game where 90% of most rounds is waiting for stuff to happen if you don't roll antag or want to play babysitter as Sec/Heads.

What could have been the best round ever, with a perfectly executed jail break and a trial for all the implicated sec officers after their cloning, became a badmin cutting off the most interesting thing happening on the station with an invincible edgelord.

>>378582642
It would make sense, really, particularly if the other officers knew he was an admin and didn't bother trying to move against him as a result.

Dang, it hurts to read that anon. Did you atleast get to play on a new server that doesnt suck a metric ton of dicks? If its a rp place that isnt as slow or worse than bay, a recomendation would be nice, been meaning to look nto playing a more rp focused server that isnt furry land or stupid as fuck bay tier.
