hello my friends. do u have any advice for getting started learning how to make map of space station 13? so i can help make gooder maps  there seem to be some tg station guides. is their advice all applicable to goon?

Not sure what you've learned from the /tg/ guides but here's some tips:

1. Load up the destiny/cogmap2/etc maps while working on your map, it will fill up your object menu with premade instances so you don't have to recreate everything (especially helpful for floors)
   
2. Use pixel_x and pixel_y to change the offset of an object like a poster/light rather than nudging it
   
3. When you load the map, click the layers tab on top and uncheck area, then check only show selectable layers. It'll get rid of all the annoying X's and area markers which you can work on separately from everything else
