SS13: d20

Rolled 1 (1d20)

Welcome to the thread for d20 station, a rules light Space Station 13 server.

>What is Space Station 13?
It's a 2D top down atmospherics simulator with who dun it gameplay layered on top. Each crew member aboard the station has a specific job to perform, while a select few are selected to be traitors (assassin/spy/thief).

>How do I play?
You'll need to download the BYOND client. There's games other than SS13, but enter those at your own risk.
BYOND Download link: byond.com/download/
You'll also want a BYOND account,which gives you a ckey so you can save preferences and be recognized by the game. It's highly recommended to make an account if you're experiencing connection issues or don't want to be a fat tourist/starving space bum.

To connect: Open BYOND, click the gear in the upper right. Click "Open Location" and paste in the IP below.
byond://76.16.8.127:28014 OR byond://d20station.ddns.net:28014

>How do I play
Use OOC (backspace say" in the bottom, type OOC and hit enter) and ask someone for help on how to play. People will almost always help you get a grip of the game if you're polite about it, just don't reveal too much in-round information in OOC. There's also wikis dedicated to documenting the spaceman way of life, but they vary widely from server to server.

>What are the rules?
The rules are very relaxed and admins try to take a hands-off approach to administrating. Admins will generally only intervene if someone is explicitly playing to ruin the game or being a dick. Reminder to read the rules in-game.

>What map/code do you run?
We run a heavily modified Ministation map with mostly custom code. Most jobs on Ministation are merged with similar counterparts and head roles have been re-enabled.

>D20 wiki where?
robustvinyl.com/ss13/wiki/

>When does everyone play?
Check out the server pop graph to see when people are playing: ss13.se/servers/3031/

>Who are these tripfaggots?
Usually admins/coders in the server.

hahah yeah that was pretty funny, right?

Anyone planning on getting on later tonight? I need a crash course on some of the new mechanics

Just don't trust Father Relaxe and you should be fine.

please stop
it's been over a year

I'm starting to think this is bot

I'll stop when this fucking thread stops needing bumps to stay alive I mean when Father Relaxe's town stops letting him have internet.

Anything you need to know?

Well, just a basic rundown on some of the new medical features as well as some pointers on getting a decently stable burn mix for the engine.

I'm going to assume you want to know about limb wounds and blood.

After armor reduction is applied damage is applied to limbs. When there is enough brute/mangle damage to cause a limb wound it will be applied to the limb. Right now the thresholds are 2 mangle / 8 brute for cuts and 7 mangle / 25 brute for fractures.
Limb wounds mostly just bleed until they're healed. Blood loss is determined by how much damage was dealt to apply the wound and comes in two flavors: external and internal. The severity / type of the wound will determine how much and in what ratio the bleeding occurs.

Cuts and fractures heal on their own when they're caused by small amounts of damage. They'll need to be treated if they are more severe. Treating wounds needs to be done on the help intent, just like surgery.
To treat these wounds first you'll have to use a health analyzer to determine the type of the wound, this also shows you how severe the wound is.

While these wounds are on a limb they will keep a minimum amount of damage on the wound. So stop using 20 bruisepacks on your left arm because you have 0.4 brute damage there, let the wound heal and then bruisepack it again, or take bicaridine with a load water.

Cuts:
>small cut, small gash, minor laceration, major laceration
Projectiles and thrown objects can get stuck in cuts and need to be removed before treatment can be applied. To remove foreign object from a wound use a hemostat on the limb (wirecutters / bare hands can be used too but they don't have the optimal effect).
If the cut is any of the two lacerations you'll have to cauterize the wound (currently working on being able to use multiple bandages for this, but no promises yet). To cauterize use a cautery from surgery or a welding tool.
Finally use a bruisepack or bandage on the wound. Scanning with the health analyzer will show the wound as "Treated" and will begin a healing process.

Fractures:
>hairline fracture, non-displaced fracture, closed fracture, open fracture
Closed and open fractures will need setting. To set a bone you'll need to grab the target's affected limb (grab intent, upgrade once) then switch to help intent and apply the grab to the patient.
There is currently no way to set your own bones.
Once the bone has been set open fractures will require a bruisepack or bandage. This will greatly reduce external bleeding. Although the other fractures have no external bleeding it doesn't mean your patient isn't losing blood to internal bleeding.
Finally use a metal rod / plank / pipe on the limb to splint. Once healed the patient will automatically walk this off.

Internal organs:
When taking mangle on the chest a random organ (except the brain) will begin bleeding. Internal organs take damage while they bleed and will slowly heal and reduce bleeding as long as the damage isn't over 25% or the organ isn't bleeding. Damage on an organ decreases its effectiveness.
The brain will start bleeding when you take mangle to the head. Dead brain / heart = dead patient.

Blood:
So when a patient comes in bleeding and you patch him up and now they're complaining about low stamina or oxyloss. Using a health analyzer on the patient should should you exactly how much blood the patient has.
Reduced blood levels impact organ function and people most often notice the reduced capacity of the lungs to take in oxygen.
To restore blood levels give your patient hemoglobine stimulant.
To reduce bleeding from limb wound / internal organs give them antisprin. Antisprin has the added effect of reducing the collected blood from internal bleeding and adds this to the patient's blood pool so more often then not it's a good idea to give your some antisprin when they have low blood even if they're not bleeding anymore.
0 blood = dead patient
