New player Unfriendly

[Kotlol]

If you're still having a rough time, you can always join one of the RP servers. I won't claim they're perfect, but lately they have pretty mid level lobbies. If you're willing, hop in on a round and radio someone if you want to learn the ropes. Even if you mistakenly get captain, security is very responsive.

To be clear, I don't know how you enjoy the game. If RP isn't your jam, i completely understand

I actually recommend RP to learn the game since RP tends to be slower then Main.
Main has some RP elements but it's very low, people rather meta on it.
On RP Meta-gaming is frowned upon unless to setup a RP gimmick that isn't gonna murder/cripple other players.

Also on RP since people have time and use LOOC, you get time to learn some basics.
Also don't be afraid to hit the call a mentor button.

The game is indeed NEW PLAYER UNFRIENDLY, it's suppose to be part of the game universe where you are all cheap replacable employees and incompitence leaves to death but death is cheap so.. "Eh"

But if you want to learn more.. just go to RP, we do not mind players that don't RP alot if they wanna learn things. Just don't do things that breaks RP, breaks your job or breaks the station (Unless antag). And even if you do break the station (Donut 3 Singularity), people understand that it was incompetence.
But as far as I know... RP Antags 9/10 DO NOT do this shit on a regular basis.
Most of the time they gotta be provoked and try something goofier like making chicken POT pies that have 110 potency so people go crazy!
