Random Events

Most standard rounds aboard a station have an "event scheduler", which will add additional complications as the round progresses. These can range from harmless pests emerging from the vents, to a sudden onset of zombies ready to bring the station into utter chaos. Generally, all game modes will use the BasicStationEventScheduler system, but the Survival game mode will use a much more chaotic RampingStationEventScheduler, designed to cause increasingly more drastic problems as the round progresses.

Events Table

Below is a list of all events. Several events share the same announcement text, and will thus be grouped into one category. For example, the Vent Critters event has several possible critters that it could spawn. Other events have a variety of announcement texts that they can create, as well.
