|'''[[BoxStation|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.


== 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.


The current, and next selected, map information are located in the 'Status' tab.

|'''[[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.

|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.

|'''[[PubbyStation|Pubby Station]]''' is a map inspired by Box and Meta but smaller and pure, it was created by pubby.
|'''Kilostation''' is a rather new map, being brought to Beestation fairly recently. Although rather small, the maintenance sections are rather expansive and varied, with things ranging from a mad, saw-wielding cat surgeon to a full on space bear. The station itself is primarily built on an asteroid, with the AI sat and an auxiliary solar built on separate asteroids. The escape pods, for the most part, are hidden in maint, so you may need to use a map to find them.

|Notes
*The central hallway provides access to most departments, with security and engineering being on their own separate halls.
*Due to it's rather small nature, it is used predominantly for low population rounds.
*The upload chamber is connected to both the bridge and the main hall.
*Suggestions for improving the map are appreciated and should be sent to the beestation discord.

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.

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.

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.

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)
