In case anyone is out of the loop, some asshat is spamming BYOND hub with fake servers. Joining them gets you goatse'd at best, infected with malware at worst. It"s generally pretty obvious cause they tend to have a spoofed playercount in the thousands and names/descriptions filled with nazi poo poo, but they've also been trying to spoof legit servers so be on guard. It's best to make a bookmark of any server you play on and join with those - Goon's are byond://goon1.goonhub.com:26100/ for rp and 26200 for non-RP.

Already played a couple rounds, and I learned that the janitor mop's ability to infinitely absorb puddles is quite effective at soaking up flooding. :sun:

First thing I do as janitor is show the swimming pool who's boss :colbert: I had written off the mop when I first started playing janitor (sponge is pretty superior for cleaning), but when the new fluids system went in the mop turned into a magical anti-fluid weapon. If you're janitor on OSHAN you're practically the anti-Neptune keeping the floods at bay.

I also learned that you can spam-click on the centre of a big puddle with the mop and become a Jojo of cleaning as you rapidly soak up the entire thing in a matter of seconds.

Came in pretty handy when some rear end in a top hat started spilling coffee everywhere :argh:

Does this work with heavy grenades or do you need two birds with a line between them?

So I've played like 2 games so far. I think the more enjoyable job for me has been mechanic so I can go around with wire clippers and welders and toolkits because it sounds fun. I'm just curious what I should actually be doing in a given game or whether I need to be patrolling for broken wires.

The joy of mechanics is in making stuff with the mechcomp machine. It can seem a bit daunting but its fairly intuitive once you got the procedure figured out. Deep in the wiki theres a page on the control unit which lets you do all the things that make the crew wanna kill you.


E: If you are only 2 rounds in then just walk around enjoying the sights and fiddling with stuff. I recommend playing as captain or HoP

Learn how to build teleporters. Just make a whole mess of 'em. One from the bar to engineering to establish your value, 5 random ones into a square next to the crusher, then finally three one-way teleporters into Genetics to liven up their day.

hack doors so they electrocute people but aren't noticeably altered at first glance.

Or be more insidious and hack open the doors, attach signaling devices to the bolts or, if you want to be mean, the electrification wires and occasionally just toggle them on/off to annoy people or make them hate the AI. Bonus points if you get every single door on the station tuned to one signal to toggle them all at once.

While doing this, if you're a traitor, encourage the Engineers to hotwire the engine to the grid and push it into meltdown if they aren't doing so already :unsmigghh:.

The most I've tried because I wanted to effect the game is weld doors shut and cut light wires, but that's just cause I learned to interact with them and use them. I'll try and learn how to interact with doors.

I also found a closet/transporter thing where you order stuff and I ordered a bunch of random things and rode the converor belt after getting wasted to the loading dock area to see if they came in. They did one game and I threw up everywhere and released a bunch of monkeys.

There's already a low chance to randomly "yeet" things when you throw them. That'd be a little more difficult because it's not possible to know if the yeeted one is actually going into space.

Zipguns should have a chance of firing when thrown, otherwise they harmlessly break unless they have grenade/rpg rounds.

So there's a couple of players running around on the main server as a "married couple" of anime girls every round as a persistent relationship. They have their character names associated and are always "together" in the game sometimes doing gross things in dark corners. Now, in the old days this poo poo would have been very publicly not tolerated but nowadays most of the admins are pubbies and it seems to me like they are letting it go.

  • We don't have "anime girls."
  • We have a rule stating "no sexual content", so that sort of thing wouldn't be tolerated.
  • We've had no adminhelps about this, and no admins around today can confirm this.
  • I'm the actual literal host of Goonstation and I'm essentially an SA powergoon, albeit primarily a lurker. Also, a whole bunch of the admin team are still SA goons.

Are you sure you're actually playing on goonstation?
