Edit: the server is live at byond://157.230.217.31:9999 !

Brief instructions:

Get the BYOND client, make an account, and log in.

Click "Space Station 13" in the game list.

Click this gear icon in the top right of the window:

Click open location and paste in the link at the top of the post starting with "byond://" and press OK. Then you should connect!


Me and @[email protected] have been talking about running a Hexbear SS13 server for a bit and we just now got it in a working state for testing.

Around 4 PM US EST / 7 PM UTC I'll edit this post with the IP address so anyone who wants to play can join. It's okay if you haven't played before.

All you need to play is the BYOND client from here:

https://www.byond.com/

Come join us in running/blowing up our space station!

There may be a few technical problems we haven't foreseen yet but we'll deal with them if it happens.

Here is our Discord discussion group if you're interested:

We are gonna replace it with something more secure and private sometime. Didn't we have a Matrix server once?

this is the ultimate origin game of amogus and barotrauma isn't it? like how dwarf fortress was the origin of minecraft?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah, Amogus is essentially an ultra-simplified version of Space Station 13, and Barotrauma could be argued to be the same. Tasks in Among Us are really simple, but jobs in Space Station 13 tend to be complex, open-ended, roleplay heavy, or all of the above. You can spend hundreds of hours in SS13 mastering a single job, and that mechanical depth combined with the sheer chaos that can break out at any moment is why people play SS13

ohnoes i love overly complex games so much. the chaos part is scary tho maybe i'll have to check it out

We probably won't get up to anything too scary during our test round!

Chaos scares me too lol. I wanna try to steer our server away from becoming another "low-roleplay" chaos server filled with powergaming murderclowns toward something more roleplay focused...

LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I have never played ss13 before but it seems fun so I'll join

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Man I have not played SS13 in years. Brings back fond memories haha. I don't think I'll be able to attend the test but I'll join the discord

The rounds we played were really awesome. We can organize this better to play with more people, at least 10 people should be enough for a good round.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Yesss, it was so fun playing with all of you.

Maybe we can schedule another round to get everyone together for a big one with some antags.

is ss13 free? i might join y'all

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Yes, just make a byond account. We need to restart the round and we need people who knows how to work as an engineer

Update: Ok, I restarted the round. It should be all good now.
