holy stuff Space Station 13

why not just play SS13 in the first place and not bother to make a BL addon of it
(hint hint play valzarstation)

Because SS13 is poorly optimized and sucks, but the concept and features are so interesting that it's nice to play once in a while, and it would be nice to see a Blockland rendition of it.

It's not like it's the first time something from another game has been "ported," in a sense, to Blockland.

Also,

This isn't SS13, it's blockland.
All they're asking for is a recreation of SS13 in blockland.
This doesn't mean you need every little detail of SS13 in blockland.

Why dont you just recreate the main gameplay features and leave things like hair and clothes alone?
Nobody asked for a perfect replication of the game in blockland.

One of Blockland's biggest draws (for me, anyway) is the idea of being able to play "other games" in Blockland.

I would delightfully contribute to building and I'm somewhat familiar with Space Station 13.

If you dumbed it down a lot, it would still be goos looking and fun. For those complaining about datablocks, the GameMode can be based on defaults making it super efficient, because truthfully you don't need a fancy looking gun, mechanics are greater than looks if you're doing something like this

Besides, who doesn't love default? It's arguably the hardest but most rewarding quality in this game. But anyways, if someone codes, I will build, and it'll be high quality for sure.

Well, if anyone gets around to this, I'd like to contribute my building skills.

[ZombieDude]

actually if we can gather like 10 people we can probably do this

[ResonKinetic]

So this is basically possible.

[Cassord²]

The build? yes. The gamemode? NO.

[portify]

The build? yes. The gamemode? NO.

Please don't talk about things that you (apparently) don't know anything about.

[ResonKinetic]

The gamemode? NO.

The majority says it's possible.

Now I just eagerly await the "SS13 game mode" thread to show up in the mod discussion section.

Whatever. But if anyone is going to make the build, I'm in.

Space Station gamemode is actually very possible. It just needs motivation (port im looking at u) and a lot of thinking outside the box to incorporate it.
For instance, when we remade the boxstation out of special bricks I modelled, it felt extremely 2d. So we scrapped the bricks and went with voxels (or polycubes with prints i made).

So yeah, if the building in-game is voxel-based, that means the atmospherics system will work on 4x4 grid and there's plenty of cool features that can be added in.
Again, Space Station 13 is 2d, this game is 3d. Why not make a full-fledged Space Station 3d?

well, SS13 is being remade on a different engine and in 3d, but I'd still like a BL port.
