About

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 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.

Locations

Command area

Bridge is heart of this station, located in the middle of the station, the bridge offers views of many of the station's main halls. To the south of the bridge are the restricted areas - EVA, Gateway and the Teleporter room. The AI satellite can only be accessed through engineering, although this is considered a command zone. The satellite itself is located at the very east of the station.

Service area

As with many stations, the Service area includes a kitchen, hydroponics and a bar, which are separated by a small corridor with the Service techfab. Separately from the main corridor, there are areas for some service jobs. Thus, the chapel is located in the south, and the psychologist's and lawyer office is in the corresponding departments of the medbay and security.

Medical area

The Medbay on MetaStation is large and located in the west of the station. It has long hallways connecting the chemlab, virology, morgue, storage and other rooms.

Supply area

Cargo is located in the northwest of the station. MetaStation has a disposal system that helps deliver boxes right to the doors of departments. There is a large warehouse with mech and various loot.

Research area

Right next to Medbay is Science. Similar to Medbay, it has long hallways connecting different rooms, such as robotics, ordnance, and genetics. Of particular note is the Xenobiology satellite, which has a distinctive long hallway that separates xenobiology from the station.

Engineering area

Engineering is located in the northeast of the station. Of the notisable, a very large atmospherics department can be distinguished. Supermatter Engine can be considered the basis for all engines, since its setup is the simplest on MetaStation.

Security area

The Brig, also known as Security, is located in the north of the station and has its own hall overlooking the prison cells. The detective's office is built into the brig itself, but the Law Office is in the dorms. The Permabrig on the map has its own exit to space and a shuttle.

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. Various versions of MetaStation are present on most servers using the TG codebase.
