Station	Description	Population
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.

MetaStation	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	a0+
DeltaStation	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	a40+
FlandStation	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	a40+
KiloStation	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	a0+
RadStation	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	a20+
CorgStation	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	a15+
[[EchoStation]]	EchoStation is a beautiful station developed on planet. Because of this it experiences unique issues unlike any other station, including Winter Freezes, and a natural atmosphere. This station, being designed for lower populations has many departments working in close quarters, with staffing being severely limited. Not only are some departments unfunded, like exploration, others are left to one person ( botony ), while a some are removed, with the workload being given to similar jobs, Bartender being the example of this.

Not In Rotation

Station	Description
RuntimeStation	RuntimeStation is a map included with the game's source code that is used for locally testing new features. The map is small and relatively simple, meaning that the client will be able to enter the game quicker than if the server was running a fully featured map.
CardStation	Cardstation is a beautiful station, that is still under development. As are all related pages, this description included.

Station	Description
GlowStation	Glowstation. One of the largest and first acquired terrestrial stations in the sector. A former syndicate shipyard located on lavaland's frozen moon. The station is built inside a cliff, with Its 5 floors going from deep underground all the way to its peak. With a SuperMatter crystal chamber at its core. Its layout depicts 5 floors, with all but the bottom most consisting of central rings with 4 hallways leaving them. The station has a large array of shuttledocks and a drydock for shuttle construction.
PubbyStation	PubbyStation was first added to /tg/station's rotation in late 2016. It was created by Pubby, who stated that his goal was "to create a lowpop map derived from my favorite parts of Box and Meta." It shares quite a bit in terms of layout with other popular maps while retaining a distinct identity thanks to its unique design and features.
DonutStation	Donutstation is a faithful recreation of the original 2012 Goonstation map called, well, Donutstation. Keeping in theme with the original layout, most of the design stays the same while bringing it to a modern age and a different code branch.
AsteroidStation	AsteroidStation is a Nanotrasen facility embedded into a gigantic asteroid. AsteroidStation is a replacement for MetaStation, which was previously run on Badger, and is now the default map on the second official /tg/ server, It has not been play-tested very extensively, but has been generally well received. Due to this lack of play-testing, there some bugs, and gameplay changes and balancing still need to be made.
BirdStation	Birdstation is an older station that has long since been removed from rotation on bee.
CereStation	CereStation is a map with influence from MetaStation and DeltaStation, but with an attempt at creating isolation aspects even on larger crew populations.
DiscStation	DiscStation is a partially-functioning map available on the bee codebase as an alternative to the default map
DreamStation	Dreamstation This map is no longer used as a default included map on bee
EfficiencyStation	The main idea behind Efficiency Station was to make mining the central part of the station, and to surround it with all the departments that immediately need it (robotics, R&D, chemistry, cargo, etc.) to minimize transport times. This design has changed over time, as well with what should directly border that central market area. Furthermore, I made sure to put the main departmental connections side-by-side (chemistry's acid to R&D, R&D to robotics, hydro to kitchen). After that it was just a matter of figuring out where to put security, the bridge, and engineering as medical and science would always be near the center. -W. Johnston, the developer
MiniStation	A mod of tgstation 13 that is modified for low population servers; with simplified jobs, maps, duties and command structure.
OmegaStation	OmegaStation is a map created by Okand37. It is designed to be a lowpop map, where Heads of staff are limited to one Captain, one Head of Personnel, and one AI. Jobs such as medical doctors and engineers have their available slots reduced to accommodate the smaller station size, among other departments with missing staffing, or equipment.

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.
