This is a general place to dump things you admire/despise lfrom other stations' codebases; items, mechanics, antags and so on. This is not meant to be an imperative of the coders to do anything they don't already want to do. Name the server, mechanic and a brief description of why it's cool and good. Or why it's terrible!!
TGStation (Good)
- Integrated Circuits: Only just recently added; accessible through its R&D system, you can use the integrated circuit printer to make portable, fixed, and mobile circuit assemblies to do anything from smoking chemicals to cursing at people while shocking them and chasing them down a hallway. Actually mostly those things!
- Mining: If you've ever been on TG, you know about its very robust mining system; a separate planet full of monstrosities and loot called 'Lavaland', littered with dangers and rewards of all sorts.
- Library: A persistent library system; write books, add them to the records, request them later. Fun stuff.
- Hologram Projectors: They're just neat honestly. Wet floors, barriers for people/gases, etc.
- Respawners: Various special roles that ghost players can respawn into off-station; monsters in Lavaland, little robots, beach dudes, etc. Gives stuff for dead players to do.
- More general clothing in the machines; pinnable accessories, etc.
Vorestation/Citadel? (Good; Don't Laugh, Or Do, Whatever)
- PDAs: Citadel's PDAs are a lot more functional, afaik.
- Z-Levels: There are elevators that take you to different floors, as well as balconies.
- The cloning system: Apparently the way it works is people have personality backups that then get chipped and slotted into bodies? Lets you put people in PDAs or something too.
Vorestation (Bad)
- Pretty much everything else
Baycode (Good)
- Point-buy accessory/miscellaneous object system. Start with hats, lunchboxes, scarves, etc.
