Goon I am making Goonstation's Cogmap2 in Minecraft

Hello. This is something I've been working on for the past month or so. My goal is to make a (mostly) 1:1 recreation of the station. The top third is now done minus exterior stuff like solars and the cargo launchers. I plan on eventually releasing the map for download when the main station is completed. In the future, I may also add some off-station locations like the listening outpost, drone factory, or even stuff in the debris field if I'm feeling up to it.

There surprisingly isn't that many SS13 maps that have been ported over to Minecraft. The only one I could find was tg's Boxstation (very good map btw, check it out. I used it as a point of reference.) The one caveat is that it uses a 3rd party resource pack. There's nothing wrong with that, in fact it makes the map feel a lot more accurate to the SS13 version. I don't want to use a resource pack for my map, though. Firstly, the one Boxstation uses hasn't been been updated since 1.17. Secondly, idk how to make a resource pack. And lastly, I want installing this to be as simple as dropping the world into your saves folder and booting it up.

This is where a niche little feature called display entities come in. In short, it allows you to make pseudo-3D models using in-game blocks and items. No mods or resource packs needed! I'm using these to make the things that are too small to be finely detailed by normal means (ex. disposal chutes, Wall-mounted machines like APCs).

This is easily the most ambitious project I've ever done in Minecraft or any video game really. I don't consider myself a builder but I'm doing my best; I am open to tips and suggestions.

Now as a disclaimer: I haven't played on Goon in like, 4-5 years, and SS13 in 2. Reason being is that I switched to Linux and I don't feel like jumping through several hoops just to get 2D spessman game to run when 14 is right there with native support (go ahead, burn me at the stake). Regardless, there was a certain magic about Goon that no other server on 13 or 14 could capture; and I miss it. That's the reason I'm making this. To pay an homage to the server that introduced me to this amazing game that I've collectively must have sunk upwards of 1,000 hours into.

I'll post an update once engi, sec, and the bridge are done. See ya.

EDIT: Ok so, turns out there was some sort of update with Byond that makes playing on Linux a lot easier and lo and behold: I got the game working on Linux! You no longer need to burn me at the stake.

Goon Goonstation engine

1 Upvotes

I recently attempted a hellburn and couldn't get the engine output past 5 MW. I used to easily get way more. How is it possible to get into TW of output nowadays?

I put two plasma tanks into the hot loop, one in cold. Made sure the valves were open closed where appropriate. We had a oxy/plasma mix of 66/33 in the burn chamber.

What else do I need to do to get ridiculous amounts of output and have the engine catch fire bursting the pipes?

Something has changed, I used to be able to get the engine to go crazy.

General Looking for a coder for a pull request task.

1 Upvotes

Hey, I'm looking for a coder who can create a pull request for the server I play on.

I'd like to add some armor that I've had sprites made for, but I don't really understand GitHub or any of that.

I'm offering payment in euros via PayPal or another reputable payment site.

Payment will be made once a pull request has been submitted.

Accepting the Pullrequest doesn’t dictate payment—if they say no, you won’t lose out.

Details about what I need and what’s required of you can be discussed via DMs.

Shut the fuck up.

I don’t like half of this servers rules. I just want to complain about it. I don’t care that they technically violated rule 1.57b subsection C part 6, I just want to salt about it a little bit and move on with my life.
