>Tfw meteors and donut station got phased out as a common game mode in like 2014 because people got too meta focused and it was too repetitive

best damn rounds I ever had involved either, or both of those things,

Have any stories about those rounds you'd wanna tell?

I like to play Chef or Bartender but it's so hard to find a botanist or chemist that'll cooperate. Sucks because that's part of what makes the game fun, cross-department cooperation. Don't you guys want pizza that heals wounds and drinks that do more than make you vomit? It seems like everyone has some agenda to follow but when I played as those roles (Non traitor obviously) I had fuck all to do 90% of the time. Botanist especially. Once I got some genes spliced at the start it was mostly a game of rotating crops and shitting out the odd monkeycube.

>used to play a skelly
>server phased out skellies
haven't been back since
I liked to play viro or geneticist but I'd usually end up having to ask the HoP to up me to CMO because no one else signed up for medbay.
As retarded and painful as the medbay shenanigans got it was always pretty fun.

meteors suck because they're a pain in the ass to deal with

I've only played ss13 3 times and I just went to the bar and talked shit with the bartender and tried to smoke a cigarette

8/10 game

Literally all I do every round until I get an actual antagonist is just wander about collecting tools and breaking doors/pipes/power lines. Game is just boring as shit otherwise and behind all the convoluted tech paths and unnecessary complexity and tedious controls/UI it's really just a flash game run by a bunch of stick-up-the-ass autists.

That's gold

Holy shit that's incredible, what server

>Thinking man I wish I played back in 2012, donut station looked fun
>Realize I did except I played on box servers
Where has the time gone... I was so young

If you're talking about /vg/ they have plasma skeletons, which are skeletons that have purple bones and light on fire when exposed to oxygen. They have to wear a special suit that prevents them from instantly igniting in air.
If you're cool enough you can just replace all the air where you are with plasma and walk around bareboned.

Why is there no 3d version of this 20 year old game?

To be fair if people did this every round this game would be hell to play 24/7 and people just toe-the-line griefing everybody else. That's why the limit is "use your common sense" to how much lube is ok in what situation
lubing is always based, always lube to the max you're allowed to

Why not more than 3 times? Sure wandering around gets old but the jobs and combat are the real meat of the game outside of basic socialization

Learning how to optimize your job is important. Not only does it show you how you can help the station, but you get to use tools from almost any job to your advantage as an antag.
Being able to make weapons in botany
Heal yourself up after a gunfight after a shootout with security
Knowing exactly the best spots to make a fort as an antagonist, or even constructing your own secret lair
When you find yourself bored and aren't an antag just find somebody else to fuck around with and do whatever. Other people might have something interesting in mind or secretly be antagonist, and having a buddy to look out for your ass is almost as good as having a second life. If you die he might try and find you to get you cloned

>stories
Are you the OP from the other thread? You want to make a youtube video?

It's very hard to translate well, if you've played long enough to learn every inch of the game you'd understand why. Not to mention I couldn't imagine it running smoothly as well with a true translation.

>Make a crayon writing that says "FAG ->" pointing to a C shape of reinforced tables, and a donut box in the middle
>People run all the way down and either dont notice or go grab the donut box
>Slip on the banana peel under the box
>Run up and place the last reinforced table so it's a full ring around them
>If they have no tools and the server doesn't have table climbing, they can't get out

Best clown pranks

If you tried to redo every single tiny feature added over the years, then yeah. Other than that the base game mechanics aren't very complicated. Just look at the engine it's made for currently.

if you play anywhere but goonstation you are a retard
yes goonstation now has tranny admins but it's still the best codebase

goon code leaked forever ago though

the only cool goon thing is they took that one old idea of having multiple different kinds of stations, but they only did the underwater one

What's wrong with the Zig Forums server?

it's on tg code which is shit

Pretty based. You could even use lube because it has a longer stun time. Tables fit in backpacks so you can easily set up 4 tables around someone

It's not on modern tg and that's saying a lot

>play on goon
>controls are awful even by ss13 standards
how do you accomplish this

clown main here
ama

You forgot changeling being removed cuz of one or two powergamers.

It has goofball, that's reason enough to avoid it like AIDS and Wuflu combined

Fuck goon

Skellies are still on vg, you just can't start as one.
Not gunna spoonfeed you but it's easy to become one.

I've had some killer rounds as chef lately. Feeding the station and taking special orders are comfy as hell

what do you mean, is it an older version where all the unfun nerfs were removed? Some shit off the top of my head that they changed that caused me to never play tg servers again:
>removed cloning
>removed player's ability to build almost all special mechs (phazon, mauler, marauder, seraph, whatever the invisible mime mech was)
>removed one of the botany traits, liquid contents i think, which completely nerfs the offensive capability of botany
>removed death ripley
>massively nerfed/changed all the lavaland PVE and made it near impossible without abusing exploits
you know at this point i could probably just say anything that oranges did is fucking terrible, but i'll continue
>replaced the glorious singularity with fucking supermatter (yes i know goon also replaced the singulo with TEG and then added back a nerfed shitty singulo)
>added furry races like tajarans
>added MLP sprites, ERP emotes, and coded cumshots into the server
>originally introduced roleplaying into ss13, which is why ss13 gameplay is so stagnant and you instantly know who the traitor is because they are the only player harming others and not being instantly banned for it
>adding baystation/lifeweb shit like moods and hygiene
>all the code they stole from goon (not mad at using gooncode as much as i am about tg becoming less of its own unique codebase and now just a shitty goon hybrid)

if i actually had a list in front of me of the major changes i could probably keep going, but i havent been on tg servers in a long time and that's just what i remember right now

ling is designed unfun unless you choose to LSD/fat sting everyone as a hilarious challenge. Nobody ever transforms and plays dress up when a ling despite how fun that can be and just muderboners in max stealth to be a better geneticist who kills people. It doesn't even have The Thing abilities except only on goon I think. The only way ling rounds are ever fun is if the ling goes out of their way to make it enjoyable for people besides them, and isn't so sloppy that security finds them out and lynches them 15 minutes into the round.
The average player who isn't maximum robust also often struggle with lings. It can take them forever to kill people, which often get the rounds dubbed as "lingstended" (extended but lings) because nothing happens while they slowly kill people, as they're incentivized by objectives to not get the shuttle called/fuck up the station until they all kill 3 people. Then even if they do kill 3 people, they will want to drag things out to kill 10 people to get even more powers.

All in all, ling is in desperate need of a general rework for enjoyability for both the antags and the players. No other mode has this problem as bad as changelings do, even vampires have a better ending
