In the early days if SS14, I accidentally caused the death of everyone on station when trying to do a prank. A fellow salvager found an artifact that infected people with a virus that forced them to use owo speak. I thought this was hilarious and dragged it into the bar to infect more people. Turns out the side effect of that was a heart attack and 15ish minutes later most of the crew started to drop dead. By the end only 3/60 players survived to evac.
One of the most underrated creators on this platform, basically a hidden gem that is yet to be found. Everything is high quality no matter the topic at hand or if it is well known or not. If I had money to throw, I would catapult it to this crow to further support him.
Had someone doing that when I was a janitor one round, kind of annoying being called to clean up trash because people are too lazy to just put it back into the can it just erupted out of.
@@tv_tim no you gotta rewire it so it sticks a crewmate in an endless loop, if your syndicate you can put 2 radio jammers down and use one as a buffer so you can charge the other when its dead, forever getting people stuck in a loop!
i once made looping on end of disposals, nukies hapened and they splitted they decided thatthey all fush themselfs to meet up again .... they did not group up ever again
i think its also important to state that SS14 is open source, meaning anyone who wants to develop it can! this means that each server can be a completly different experience, either with different roles, mechanics or even completely revamp the gamplay. you can find servers that turn the game into a pvp aliens vs humans game (RMC), a space ship PVP game (Hullrot), a relaxing trading simulator (Frontier) and more!
6:29 also in terms of jobs, if your an intermediate player and want to contribute even more to the station with less pressure, I’d recommend joining the science team. There are some job hazards BUT it’s really easy once you get used to it, not to mention you have easy access to the latest tech your coworkers have researched.
9:09 holy shit I'm famous, I remember when I found out you ashed later and I was so sad because you were the only syndicate agent I knew of that didn't want to kill me. I had a lot of fun that round so thanks for playing!
Great review. One thing you forgot to mention is the fact that the game is open source. Which means that anyone can make their own version of the game, change whatever they want and even make it feel like another game.
Open source in theory. In practice, Wizard's Den, the main developers and sever browser owners, Dehub servers over petty drama, and go after people for making alternative server hubs.
one thing you forgot to mention is that the developers wizden don't want to push updates for already coded and tested mechanics and features so other servers have to do it
What's always fun in watching ss14 videos is seeing all the familiar faces. Thousands of players, but you still get to remember certain names in this small world. Also, don't let this dissuade you from playing engineer at some stage! A good Cheif will let you know the ins and outs, and next thing you know, you'll be leading the shift start power shuffle for other TA's. Good luck out there spacefarerers.
Engineer was absolutely my favorite role in SS13, if one of the more mechanically daunting when you need to figure out what is wired up to what, or worse, how to work the atmospherics piping. It took a WHILE for me to properly wrap my head around that, and I'm still only kind-of fluent, but there's nothing quite like on-the-job training.
I played a lot of SS13, and follow this game very closely as I think its the future of online spaceman RP. It's getting very close to being feature dense enough to be worth a SS13 vets time imo, and even has quite a few exclusive features impossible on SS13. Once it gets as robust a medical system as SS13 I think it will be worth playing, as far as I'm tracking surgery isn't really a thing yet.
official (wizden) servers don't have surgery but I know goob, starlight, and maybe some others do, although it is not fully fleshed out yet. It allows for limb targeting, severing, organ transplants, etc. but is a bit janky (for example, IPCs can have burn treatment done through surgery despite being fully mechanical).
yeah, i love playing medical officer, sometimes at a point where i just got bored of patching everyone up lmao. but when the medical system becomes good like / or even better than, space station 13, then i might give it another shot
Starlight, Goob, and I think Delta-V has surgery but honestly I can't wait for genetics. Also what're the impossible features you were talking about about?
I think you’re the first RUclipsr I’ve seen that actually shows the process of downloading byond in their review This is usually omitted for good reason
My best round as syndicate was when I didn't actually realize that I was syndicate and just played like normal. My targets got killed all on their own. I didn't even realize this until the end screen popped up and showed me as traitor with all objectives complete.
I've been playing quite a bit of SS14 recently, and I'm rather happy to see it get a bit more visibility :) Nice video, and I'm also grateful that you tastefully avoided the tide-shaped elephant in the roon.
Ive been playing space station 13 (and now 14) off and on for a decade. And i will say that engineering is definitely the worst to start of with... I may or may not have blown up goon station once thinking I could do a hell burn
This video is incredible!! You totally nailed the vibe of the game, and while I am a little concerned about population growth in these days of unstable wizden, this is a great video to introduce the game with.
Well, notice how he intentionally _didn't_ discuss greytiding - rather, discussing the sorts of things which one is _supposed_ to be doing instead. I highly appreciate this sort of responsible coverage of SS14, intentionally avoiding influencing people to attempt greytiding themselves.
@@ParasocialCatgirl not a greytide, a [youtuber]tide, where an influx of new players going the 13/14 servers as a result of a big youtuber making a ss13 video

I have ~1200 hours playing this game. Or maybe, 1300 I can't remember... I will tell you this game won't appeal to 100% of people, but if it appeals to you, you will never put it down. I love this game so much and I'm so glad I played it, I've made many friends, found an amazing community, and gotten the inspiration for so much from this game. Space Station 14 is genuinely the greatest game I've ever played, and I think *everyone* should at least give it one chance. This video summarizes it well, the chaos and sheer absurdity of every situation is portrayed incredibly, and it does a great job at covering a surface level (this isn't even the tip of the iceberg.) portion of the game. I could go on for hours and hours about these things but nothing I say will ever match the experience of playing it. Please try this game, even if you don't think it will appeal to you, even if you think it looks strange, even if you think you'll get bored instantly... try it. I thought the same things, and now two years and ~1300 hours later, I'm here typing this. I hope if the video didn't already convince you to play, I did, I want as many people to experience this game as possible. It means so, so much to me.
@@agustron2479 Wizden is enjoyable, there's a lot of thought and effort put into the mechanics and things that are added are thoroughly reviewed. I can see why people enjoy goob since it has a lot of extra (questionably balanced) content, but imo it just doesn't compare.
@Blackern5000 Surgery, Modsuits, blob, heretics, changelings, supermatter, healium, bz, x (some extra gases), rapid pipe placement device, modsuits, station AI, lots more interesting nukie goodies in uplink, they are also currently coding the wizard antag, yes, i'm not fucking kidding ya, its like 50% of the tasks in the PR is currently done, it also got PDA messaging!
@@guilhermealveslopes I've heard that the surgery is pretty half-baked, and honestly I wouldn't personally touch modsuits ever. I think they're poorly designed in 13 and wouldn't port well to 14. The additional antagonists are pretty interesting, though afaik they're questionably balanced at best, except for the blob, which sounds really good (it was good in 13, and it's a 1:1 port so no surprise.). Station AI has been in wizden for a long time now, it's not a goob thing, and wizden has been coding wizard for awhile now too, but they're taking their time so that it's well balanced and well made. The atmos gases, pipe placer, nukie items and PDA messaging are all really nice additions though, I've seen people talking about them and would be happy to see them upstream, but they'd likely need some code cleanup if someone tried to port them.
I actually just started playing at the beginning of the year! The learning curve gas been pretty high, but I've found medical to be a fun place, with a very defined "thing to do", that always has something going on. Its such a fun game, and ive had an amazing experience with the community. There's always someone willing to teach you, and there's always something to learn :3
I've never heard of the game, never have watched your content, and you instantly sold me on a game on the first video I've watched from you. Well played sir, subscribed.
I was the nukie commander for that war ops and it was a disaster on our end. It’s been a while but I remember we wanted to do Zed ops (failed cause we fucked up the romerol grenade) and I’m pretty sure that was the game where someone went AFK “to take a shower” right as we were about to leave, yet we somehow pulled through with minimal casualties.
this is a perfect video because it dosent just tell you its like a sandbox fuck around game like sseth did producing a different kind of player who decides to hit install
Something worth mentioning is both space station 13 and 14 are open source and just about every server has its own github repository, meaning each server is further made and developed by their respective communities.
In my latest sci round i forgot plasma was flammable and tried welding in a room full of it. Killed 5 scientists. 5 minutes later an artifact i was feeding plasma caused a fire and bombed myself. I got resurrected 3 times that round (tesla and dragon happened soon after)
I remember one round I played on SS13 Fulp. I'd just started trying to learn how to play Engi when the director got kidnapped by a Syndi op, who demanded a bomb. I, seeing he was unarmed and stupid beat him with death with a crowbar and proceeded to fuck with the chef for the rest of the round.
7:30 Funfact: the sound for the announcement that tells you that you are playing Traitor is "Whiskey Echo Whiskey - Lima Alpha Delta" military alphabet for WEW LAD, an old 4chan meme used in shitposts, which is effectivell what your job as traitor at the station is.
Awesome video, just hope that the community jumps you for creating another tide (seth is its whole ordeal anyways). The animations were great, they looked really well.
Ok so I just watched your video, and as someone who has played ss13 for a few sleepless nights: This video was Accurate 😂 I love the Med/Science roles, as many servers had some unique differences. My favourite was Aliens IP server, I would play this disgruntled Medic (not doctor) who would perform awake surgeries on people, using a special medicine blend that let me operate in ORs, and by golly I could turn a Code Black into a Code Green!!! (Revive a dead person), and to top it all off I would grab my patients and throw them out of the OR to setup for my next patient.
A recommendations to newcomers! Welcome! Most stations have wikis! TG's is absolutely hilarious, im not sure if they are 1:1 compatible with ss14, but the basics are probably the same!
Imagine a hydroponics tray coming to life and suddenly preaching about doom and how its armies shall claim yhe station.. almost like a certain toaster...
In ss13, find one server and stick to it. It's hell to switch to another and then have to relearn keybinds or painfully rebind everything. Ss14 doesn't have that problem. 11:28 Fun fact: Bananium (the material that clown statue is made of) is radioactive!
I only play ss14 never got around to playing 13. I’ve been playing 14 for about a year or two, it’s a great game and they keep adding content from ss13 like surgery.
As a wrench head main myself, I know all too well the pain of missing everything going on because some silly hunk of rock blew up an otherwise inconsequential section of the station and command demands it gets fixed. Just another fracking shift on Space Station 13/14.
>be me, cap >ready to do my cap responsibilities >throw hamlet, the lovable hamster, into the cold darkness of space >done with all my cap responsibilities >die to a rat in maintenance
This is the best ever video to recommend for a new player holy, i've been looking for this for a while since i got a few friends hyped, but they dont understand much yet. If you can, i would love a video about the marine corps server where everything gets more combat focused. i feel a lot of players who get bored from the regular gameplay due to stuff you said (long boring shifts where nothing seems to happen) would love to play that. If you dont know what im talking about, its known as CM14, or sometimes as RCM14 (roundy's marine corps is the server name i think, am unable to check it right now) Again, this isnt a demand or anything, i just would really love a video in your style about it so i can recommend it to my friends too.
yeah, this seems an accurate representation of the games as a whole, though, I would say, probably would never need to use a tutorial video, but hey, they're there, I usually learned through the guides, and just sticking with one thing for a short bit, and like you said, always someone around to help teach. fun game, however, my anxiety makes it hard for me to even JOIN the game, but gladly, that's why there are people who make videos and vods for it. great game, good for people to play, or watch. and quite a selection of people to watch it for as well~
is it really that complex controls? i picked it up in like a couple hours. which sure is long but, a look at the key binds in options taught me most of everything i know. i just watched liltenhead for entertainment
12:11 I was in that round! Everyone bullied the nuclear operatives so hard after the round had ended Edit: also at around 15:12 the formally dressed moth is my character
How did you record the footage of the events that happened when you weren't present? Is there some kind of replay viewer? Or is it just clever editing...?
Ah, i remember my first few times playing ss13.. i remember trying out robotics once i got used to the controls. Suprisingly; robotics requires a lot more brain surgery than you'd expect. So most of my first shift was practicing the "safe" removal of brains on monkeys. So yknow.. i dont murder the next person im turning into a cyborg. You also build mechs and robots of course.
This is a great review honestly. I used to watch Tex play ss13 years ago, but could never be bothered with the hassle of the byond engine. Steam made it more accessible, and now 1000hours of game time it's probably my favorite game ever..
As an SS13 player (~3k hours, da hell...) I want to say about BYOND. Yea, it's looks like jalopy your's grand-grand-grand-grandfather, BUT that doesn't mean it's horrible. Time did a very good projects like TGMC, CM, LifeWeb, Shiptest, Ashen Sky and more. I am not an programmist, but BYOND is MORE understandeble, than SS14 Robust-something-what. I can do something and it will work, or show me problems. In SS14 code is... strange thing at all. That is the biggest problem of SS14.
ECS is a very popular modern game dev structure nowadays, and I *think* it's better than tgui and the cursed DM language (BYOND technical debt i suppose) to learn and read, especially for beginners. But yes, BYOND isn't nearly as janky or laggy as it might seem, thanks to developments made in recent years. RUclipsrs like to trash on BYOND for it's ancient UI and being like a virus, but it really works fine 99% of times.
Every video (other than this one) that tries to explain what SS14 (or SS13) is usually only shows these facts: 1. Clowns 2. Avali 3. Avali 4. Avali 5. NSFW 2d roleplay that gets spicy somehow 6. Clowns 7. Avali I personally haven't gotten into the game because 1 bad experience shunned it away from me forever. The owner of the server wanted me to write a *5 paragraph essay* is to why I should be invited to the server and why I would be a good fit.
As ss13 enjoyer I say, that the main problem with it - uploading. Later is ok. Also ss13 and ss14 differs from each other by mechanics. On ss13 you have Xenolabs yo create a farm from slimes and other creatures... sometimes entyties. Also, there mines with bosses and ruins. In ss14 you can create and actually pilot new spaceships, large or tiny, research artifacts and work on anomalies, not only deactivate them.

In my latest sci round i forgot plasma was flammable and tried welding in a room full of it. Killed 5 scientists. 5 minutes later an artifact i was feeding plasma caused a fire and bombed myself. I got resurrected 3 times that round (tesla and dragon happened soon after)
I remember one round I played on SS13 Fulp. I'd just started trying to learn how to play Engi when the director got kidnapped by a Syndi op, who demanded a bomb. I, seeing he was unarmed and stupid beat him with death with a crowbar and proceeded to fuck with the chef for the rest of the round.
7:30 Funfact: the sound for the announcement that tells you that you are playing Traitor is "Whiskey Echo Whiskey - Lima Alpha Delta" military alphabet for WEW LAD, an old 4chan meme used in shitposts, which is effectivell what your job as traitor at the station is.
The game was super confusing for like the first hours but I loved every second of it. Even now with almost 150 hours I'm still learning new mechanics.
i was a robotocists my first ss13 round and was trained in how to steal brains and turn people into borgs
This was a great video! 👏👏
The funniest joke about this video is engineers actually doing their jobs
Awesome video, just hope that the community jumps you for creating another tide (seth is its whole ordeal anyways). The animations were great, they looked really well.
"Aah" *gets draged into the dark*
Ok so I just watched your video, and as someone who has played ss13 for a few sleepless nights: This video was Accurate 😂
I love the Med/Science roles, as many servers had some unique differences. My favourite was Aliens IP server, I would play this disgruntled Medic (not doctor) who would perform awake surgeries on people, using a special medicine blend that let me operate in ORs, and by golly I could turn a Code Black into a Code Green!!! (Revive a dead person), and to top it all off I would grab my patients and throw them out of the OR to setup for my next patient.
Don't be afraid to talk to others if you are new. We're all happy to teach!
A TRULY ROBUST REVIEW
proximity voice chat would be peak
Holy crap im in the video (Elster firebrush during gamba session)!
Man, Whoever animated that truck-kun must suck. 😂
Oh man, didn’t know ss14 was a thing. Been a decade+ since I played ss13. Time to jump back into the fray on my week off starting tomorrow. Oh no.
Ss14 and thirteen servers have proximity tts, TG for 13 and Starlight for 14
A recommendations to newcomers! Welcome! Most stations have wikis! TG's is absolutely hilarious, im not sure if they are 1:1 compatible with ss14, but the basics are probably the same!
Literally found this while waiting for Vulture server to restart.
Imagine a hydroponics tray coming to life and suddenly preaching about doom and how its armies shall claim yhe station.. almost like a certain toaster...
In ss13, find one server and stick to it. It's hell to switch to another and then have to relearn keybinds or painfully rebind everything. Ss14 doesn't have that problem.
11:28
Fun fact: Bananium (the material that clown statue is made of) is radioactive!
I only play ss14 never got around to playing 13. I’ve been playing 14 for about a year or two, it’s a great game and they keep adding content from ss13 like surgery.
As a wrench head main myself, I know all too well the pain of missing everything going on because some silly hunk of rock blew up an otherwise inconsequential section of the station and command demands it gets fixed. Just another fracking shift on Space Station 13/14.
>be me, cap
>ready to do my cap responsibilities
>throw hamlet, the lovable hamster, into the cold darkness of space
>done with all my cap responsibilities
>die to a rat in maintenance
I would be playing this game but I don't think there's any STT function. There is an external program for it on 13. I'm a very slow typer.
This is the best ever video to recommend for a new player holy, i've been looking for this for a while since i got a few friends hyped, but they dont understand much yet.
If you can, i would love a video about the marine corps server where everything gets more combat focused. i feel a lot of players who get bored from the regular gameplay due to stuff you said (long boring shifts where nothing seems to happen) would love to play that.
If you dont know what im talking about, its known as CM14, or sometimes as RCM14 (roundy's marine corps is the server name i think, am unable to check it right now)
Again, this isnt a demand or anything, i just would really love a video in your style about it so i can recommend it to my friends too.
yeah, this seems an accurate representation of the games as a whole, though, I would say, probably would never need to use a tutorial video, but hey, they're there, I usually learned through the guides, and just sticking with one thing for a short bit, and like you said, always someone around to help teach.
fun game, however, my anxiety makes it hard for me to even JOIN the game, but gladly, that's why there are people who make videos and vods for it.
great game, good for people to play, or watch.
and quite a selection of people to watch it for as well~
how to play ss14? steam doesnt have any play tests rn
You should try frontier station. You get your own ship ;)
space station 14 is one of those games that are like either. I hate this. OR. Omg this is amazing. it mainly depends on your first round.
Hell yeah, more spessmen into the fold
is it really that complex controls? i picked it up in like a couple hours. which sure is long but, a look at the key binds in options taught me most of everything i know. i just watched liltenhead for entertainment
Great video 👍
12:11 I was in that round! Everyone bullied the nuclear operatives so hard after the round had ended
Edit: also at around 15:12 the formally dressed moth is my character
How did you record the footage of the events that happened when you weren't present? Is there some kind of replay viewer? Or is it just clever editing...?
Every game of SS14 is saved as a replay. You can download them and replay the game in whole. Which is how I got parts of the footage shown.
@MooreOverVO that's absolutely sick, I came back to the game recently and had no idea
Ah, i remember my first few times playing ss13.. i remember trying out robotics once i got used to the controls.
Suprisingly; robotics requires a lot more brain surgery than you'd expect. So most of my first shift was practicing the "safe" removal of brains on monkeys.
So yknow.. i dont murder the next person im turning into a cyborg. You also build mechs and robots of course.
I have fallen in love with game. It is so worth putting time in to learn. Great video. Captured the fun.
This is a great review honestly. I used to watch Tex play ss13 years ago, but could never be bothered with the hassle of the byond engine. Steam made it more accessible, and now 1000hours of game time it's probably my favorite game ever..
even funnier: the ss13 pop-up windows and UIs run on explorer lol
As an SS13 player (~3k hours, da hell...) I want to say about BYOND. Yea, it's looks like jalopy your's grand-grand-grand-grandfather, BUT that doesn't mean it's horrible. Time did a very good projects like TGMC, CM, LifeWeb, Shiptest, Ashen Sky and more. I am not an programmist, but BYOND is MORE understandeble, than SS14 Robust-something-what. I can do something and it will work, or show me problems. In SS14 code is... strange thing at all. That is the biggest problem of SS14.
ECS is a very popular modern game dev structure nowadays, and I *think* it's better than tgui and the cursed DM language (BYOND technical debt i suppose) to learn and read, especially for beginners. But yes, BYOND isn't nearly as janky or laggy as it might seem, thanks to developments made in recent years. RUclipsrs like to trash on BYOND for it's ancient UI and being like a virus, but it really works fine 99% of times.
also the Mandalore ss13 video is very old, so server slowdown was indeed a thing back then. But multithreading or something solved it.
Very good and high quality video. This game is like crack
I love ss14!!! I've had so many crazy adventures on nanotrasen stations
you should cover a few of the forks like RMC and Frontier maybe :p always fun to see what people think of those
Damn, I love your animation! Kinda cool!
Every video (other than this one) that tries to explain what SS14 (or SS13) is usually only shows these facts:
1. Clowns
2. Avali
3. Avali
4. Avali
5. NSFW 2d roleplay that gets spicy somehow
6. Clowns
7. Avali
I personally haven't gotten into the game because 1 bad experience shunned it away from me forever.
The owner of the server wanted me to write a *5 paragraph essay* is to why I should be invited to the server and why I would be a good fit.
billions must play ss14
And get banned when having fun
billions must try
this is the best ss14 review ive ever seen
Great video, you should try playing on Delta V, my personal favorite server to play on. Good community, they now have (shitty) surgery. Its great.
Thumbs up
Good job
Animation maw
Admins are cooked, very cooked.
As ss13 enjoyer I say, that the main problem with it - uploading. Later is ok.
Also ss13 and ss14 differs from each other by mechanics.
On ss13 you have Xenolabs yo create a farm from slimes and other creatures... sometimes entyties. Also, there mines with bosses and ruins.
In ss14 you can create and actually pilot new spaceships, large or tiny, research artifacts and work on anomalies, not only deactivate them.
i think you deserve to hit the algorithm but ill be lying if im not gunna be scared of a tide if it does
i loved the bird being added into the game
