__TOC__
==About==
==About==
'''MetaStation''' is a largely complete work-in-progress map available in the /tg/ code as an alternative to the default map. MetaStation was previously run on Badger, and is now the defualt map on the second official /tg/ server, [byond://game.ss13.eu:2337 Philip]. 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. Please give any feedback you may have [http://www.ss13.eu/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=358 in this thread], and rest assured that the map is regularly updated according to such feedback.
'''[[MetaStation]]''' is a fully-functioning map available on the /tg/station codebase.
 
'''Key points to note are that:'''
* It is geared towards higher populations than some other maps. However, there are no current minimum population requirement or maximum population requirements.
* Key areas are more evenly spread to reduce local overcrowding.
* It feels much more open, attacks in public are harder to get away with.
* It has a large maintenance system covering most of the station, useful for stealthier tactics.
* There are in-game maps and direction signposts on the walls of the station to help you find your way.
* The escape shuttle has more seats, a large cargo bay, and larger medbay, brig, and bridge.
 
'''Further info''' regarding MetaStation is often posted [https://tgstation13.org/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=3090 in this thread] on the /tg/ forums, with feedback also welcome there.
 
MetaStation is the default map and will always load whenever a map has not been pre-selected.  This really only applies to custom servers.

==History==
 
MetaStation ran on Basil for a long time and has been tested extensively, being generally well received. It used to be largely maintained and updated by '''[[User:Metacide|Metacide]]''', though it uses the work of many others, and has been worked on by various other people who have updated and maintained the map over its history.
MetaStation was added to the /tg/station codebase on Feb 4, 2015 after it's removal sometime prior. It has been maintained ever since.
It was previously the default map on the /tg/ servers Badger and later Basil, and various edited versions have run on NoxStation, /vg/, and Paradise Station.

History

MetaStation ran on Basil for a long time and has been tested extensively, being generally well received. It used to be largely maintained and updated by Metacide, though it uses the work of many others, and has been worked on by various other people who have updated and maintained the map over its history. MetaStation was added to the /tg/station codebase on Feb 4, 2015 after it's removal sometime prior. It has been maintained ever since. It was previously the default map on the /tg/ servers Badger and later Basil, and various edited versions have run on NoxStation, /vg/, and Paradise Station.
