Map Rotation

Maps not listed here can be found at the legacy maps page. The Map Rotation system currently works on a combination of voting and checking the amount of people on the server to choose a suitable map. The current, and next selected, map information are located in the 'Status' tab.

Maps on Beestation
	In Use	BoxStation, DeltaStation, MetaStation, FlandStation, KiloStation, CorgStation, RadStation
	Outdated, removed, or not in rotation	RuntimeStation, GlowStation, PubbyStation

Maps In Rotation

These maps are currently in rotation, and can be selected and played on, the numbers in the brackets show how many people must be on the server for the map to be considered in rotation.

BoxStation (0 - 60 people)

Map Image	Information
	Box Station is widely regarded as the "official" map of SS13. It may be confusing at first, but it is actually neatly organized, so that every department gets their own wing. The Command Sector is in a centralized location, holding the Bridge, the Gravity Generator and the AI Upload. Other departments extend out into various wings around the command sector. Webmap link: BoxStation

MetaStation (0 - 100 people)

Map Image	Information
	MetaStation is a fully-functioning map available on the beestation codebase. Various edited versions have run on NoxStation, /vg/, and Paradise Station. It is largely maintained and updated by the community, it is one of the oldest maps in the code but its general layout has stayed the same. Webmap link: MetaStation

DeltaStation (40+ people)

Map Image	Information
	Delta Station is a map heavily influenced by Meta and Box, with a large centralized bridge area. Intended for higher populations, the map features a more fleshed out and spacious interior lushly decorated and accomodating a large number of potted plants. A large maintenance with a number of useful half-built rooms and areas give antagonists a large variety of spacious areas to make their on station bases and hiding places. It is currently maintained by Okand37. Webmap link: DeltaStation

FlandStation (40+ people)

Map Image	Information
	A former Syndicate outpost that Nanotrasen took over. Fland Station is a map designed with high population in mind. This station's departments are pretty spread out, the map featuring large common areas and hallways for the crew to enjoy. It also features unusual designs that aren't shared by any other stations, such as the Prison Wing being on an asteroid and the Brig being located at the core of the station. This map was created and is being maintained by PigeonVerde. Webmap link: FlandStation

KiloStation (0 - 50 people)

Map Image	Information
	Kilo Station is an old model Nanotrasen station, built into the side of an asteroid. It is a tight and compact map, featuring expansive maintenance and detail-packed areas. Rusted walls, boarded up maintenance rooms and areas with cosmetic damage are common. An abandoned freight dock in a nearby asteroid provides a good spot for any entrepreneurial cults or antagonists needing a base of operations. It was created by Okand37. Webmap link: KiloStation

RadStation (20 - 60 people)

Map Image	Information
	RadStation is the third active map, unique to Beestation, developed by BriggsIDP/Floria following the footsteps of Fland and Glow. It began its development in late 2022 and was first introduced into early rotation during the summer of 2023. This particular map was specifically designed to cater to mid-low population population, focusing on optimizing small spaces and with gameplay in mind. Webmap link: RadStation

CorgStation (15+ people)

Map Image	Information
	CorgStation is a fully-functioning map available on the bee codebase. It is currently the only map unique to beestation, not taking any major inspiration from another map. It has some unique features not seen as well. Feedback is welcomed in this thread on the BeeStation forums. Webmap link: CorgStation

Out of Rotation

PubbyStation (0 - 50 people)

Map Image	Information
	Pubby Station is a map inspired by Box and Meta but smaller and pure, it was created by pubby.

GlowStation (40+ people)

Map Image	Information
File:GlowStation.png	Glow Station was a highly experimental map utilizing both 5 z-levels in addition to an iceplanet exterior. It was canned in early 2023.

-== Map Rotation ==
-The server currently uses a unique map rotation feature that will swap between maps based on player map preferences, these being located in your character setup page. The game is weighed to use Boxstation as the default station but will, depending on player preferences and how long the current round has lasted, have a higher chance to use another map.

-|Notes
-* The map has been used consistently on /tg/station since 2010.
-* The station is heavily central on the starboard wing -- all the action happens there.
+Webmap link: [[webmap:DeltaStation|DeltaStation]]
-* There are several small crevices to perform distasteful acts.
-* Maintenance is designed to provide an outer shell to most of the station.
-* All locations information on this wiki is sourced from Box station.

-|'''[[MetaStation]]''' is a fully-functioning map available on the /tg/ codebase as an alternative to BoxStation. It is currently available on both Sibyl and Basil, if players vote it in using the map-vote system. 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.
+|A former [[The_Syndicate|Syndicate]] outpost that [[Nanotrasen]] took over. '''[[FlandStation|Fland Station]]''' is a map designed with high population in mind. This station's departments are pretty spread out, the map featuring large common areas and hallways for the crew to enjoy. It also features unusual designs that aren't shared by any other stations, such as the Prison Wing being on an asteroid and the Brig being located at the core of the station. This map was created and is being maintained by PigeonVerde.
-MetaStation ran on Basil for a long time and has been tested extensively, being generally well received. It is 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.
-|Notes
+Webmap link: [[webmap:FlandStation|FlandStation]]
-* It is geared towards higher populations than BoxStation.
-* 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.
-* '''Feedback is welcome''' [https://tgstation13.org/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=3090 in this thread] on the tgstation forums.
