	~~This page acts as an introduction to the game for new players, offering basic tips and teaching basic controls.~~

	~~== Connecting to the Server ==~~

	~~Get [[BYOND]] (required to play!) and click on one of the servers below:~~

	*Server #1: [byond://game.ss13.eu:1337 byond://game.ss13.eu:1337]

	*[[Frequently Asked Questions]]

	~~== Basic Controls ==~~

	~~'''Okay, now for some basic controls:'''~~

	*'''Arrow keys''' to move
	*type '''ooc "text"''' to speak [[OOC\|out of character (OOC)]]
	*type '''say "text"''' to speak [[IC\|in character (IC)]]. Clicking the chat button in the lower right corner will automatically place say in the chat bar.
	*type '''say ";text"''' to speak over the radio (in character)
	*type '''say ":h"''' to speak over your department radio, if you have one. Examine the radio to find specific letters for your department. (Right click > Examine or Shift+Click) (in character)
	*'''Left click''' items to interact with them.
	*'''Right click''' items to bring up the context menu.
	*See [[Starter guide#Heads up display\|here]] for information about the user interface.
	*Some additional [[Keyboard Shortcuts]] exist.


	~~== General Tips ==~~
	~~'''Some general tips that will get you through game play:'''~~

	*Not sure what something is? Shift+Click on an object to examine it. If you need more info, [[Objects\|search the object from wiki]]. Every door on the station has a label, too. If you're not sure where you are, examine a nearby door.
	*Play your first ''real'' round as a [[Cargo Technician]] - It will let you learn the controls from more experienced players (Notably the [[Quartermaster]]) in a low stress, low importance job, while being useful.
	*Join after the round officially starts, so to [[Traitor\|minimize]] [[Wizard\|any]] [[Changeling\|risk]].
	*It's okay to tell people you are new in IC chat. Some of your coworkers might even take the time to show you the ropes.
	*Clicking and dragging your [[PDA]] enables hands free usage. Clicking your PDA with an ID places it inside.
	*If OOC chat is too noisy for you you can toggle it off under the Preferences tab in-game.
	*[[Internals]] are important. To set up an internal gas supply, you need a mask and an oxygen tank. Put the [[Gas Mask\|mask]] on the mask slot and your [[oxygen tank]] on your belt or back. Then click the [[Starter guide#Heads up display\|internals status button]] to toggle it. Note that they run out of air eventually, the pressure of the gas supply in use can be observed from the info-tab. You start with a box with internals in your backpack.
	*Space is deadly without a [[space suit]] on, and a set of internals running, or proper mutations which enable you to live without air or warmth.
	*Examining your [[Clothes_and_internals#Earpieces\|radio headset]] will list all available channels and how to talk on them.
	*Having your [[intent]] on Help will let you walk through others with help intent on instead of bumping into them. Always have 'help' on when moving around.
	*If you get contacted by an [[Administrators\|admin]] please reply politely and simply tell your side of the story. You reply to admins by clicking on their name.


	~~'''Do not:'''~~
	*Do not share any in-character information in OOC or over IRC (See '''IC in OOC''' [[Terminology#IC_in_OOC\|here]]).
	*Don't play any [[Heads of Staff]] jobs until you have some experience as their subordinates.
	*Do not play Security roles until you have a very good handle on the game's mechanics.
	*If you get killed, don't complain in OOC. If you feel the kill was unjust, use [[Adminhelp]].



	~~=== Antagonist ===~~
	Try to resist the urge to press the "be syndicate" buttons. [[Game Modes\|Antagonist roles]] can be excessively hard, and next to impossible to the newest of players. Get your space legs for a bit, and hope you get brainwashed in a [[Revolution]] or [[Cult magic\|Cultist]] round to have a watered down [[traitor]] experience before taking the plunge.

	~~== Closing ==~~
	Keep in mind that the idea of this game (like all games) is simply to have fun. Just follow the [[rules]], don't be a jerk, check the updates, and remember a little of how each job works (so you know what department blows up the ship and which one [[Beyond the impossible\|cures you of diseases]]).

	*Play your first round as an observer so you can get the layout of the station. Remember to go into the OOC tab in the top-right panel, and hit "Ghost Ears" so you hear what's near you, as opposed to everything ever.
