wMost 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.

Basic Station Event Scheduler

Ramping Station Event Scheduler

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.

RANDOM EVENTS TABLE
Event Name Event Command Announcement Effect
Anomaly Spawn AnomalySpawn "Our readings have detected a dangerous interspacial anomaly. Please inform the research team about (sighting)."

Sightings include:

  • low pulsating sounds heard throughout the station
  • strange sources of light
  • inexplicable shapes
  • forms causing severe mental distress
  • strange effects on the local environment
Spawns one Anomaly somewhere aboard the station. This Anomaly will then behave the same as any other Anomaly.
Artifact Spawn BluespaceArtifact "Our readings have detected an incoming object of alien origin. Please inform the research team about (sighting)."

Sightings include:

  • bright flashes of light
  • strange sounds coming from maintenance tunnels
  • otherworldly structures
  • incomprehensible alien objects
  • unfamiliar objects in strange places
  • unknown alien artifacts
  • explosions of light accompanied by wierd sounds
Spawns one Artifact on a random tile onboard the station. This can include the Escape Pods attached to the station.
Breaker Flip BreakerFlip "Based on (data), we have opted to disable specific APCs to avoid damage to equipment. Please contact the engineering department to re-enable them."

Data includes:

  • scans from our long-range sensors
  • our sophisticated probabilistic models
  • our omnipotence
  • the communications traffic on your station
  • energy emissions we detected
Shuts off anywhere from 3 to 7 APCs randomly on the station. If all APCs have already been manually toggled off, no APCs will be disabled.
Bureaucratic Error BureaucraticError "A recent bureaucratic error in the Organic Resources Department may result in personnel shortages in some departments and redundant staffing in others."

"A minor clerical error in the Organic Resources Department has resulted in the permanent destruction of some station records." There is one announcement each for the Bureaucratic Error and the Clerical Error; one event is chosen when the gamerule runs.

BUREAUCRATIC ERROR: Has a 25% chance of making a random job on the station have infinite job slots. Otherwise, 20 to 30% of the station's jobs will either lose (to a maximum of -3) or gain slots (to a maximum of +6).

CLERICAL ERROR: will remove anywhere from 2.5% to 10% of the station's records of crew. Crew whose records are removed will not appear on the Crew Manifest, and will not have an entry on the Security Records console. They will retain their role, accesses, and Mindshield status, however.

"Congratulations! (sender) has decided to send (description) to the station (destination). Look for it in your next cargo shipment."

The default sender is NanoTrasen.

  • Cleaning equipment
  • A large pizza party
  • A small pizza party
  • Vending machines refills
  • Riot Gear
  • Lethal Weapons
  • Medical supplies

  • Engineering, PizzaPartySmall
  • Riot, VendingRestock, SpacingSupplies, FireProtection
