These are random events that occur during a game regardless of gamemode. They have a relatively low chance of occurring, and are often (but not always) accompanied by a broadcasted message from CentCom. Some may only occur after so much time has elapsed during a round. | These are random events that occur during a game regardless of gamemode. They have a relatively low chance of occurring, and are often (but not always) accompanied by a broadcasted message from CentCom.

** This event increases in power as more observers (dead players) orbit it. If only a few are orbiting the anomaly, it might only end up making a mess of the surrounding area or begin to haunt nearby objects. You can estimate how "powerful" one of these anomalies will be by examining it. | |||
** If a majority of ghosts are orbiting the anomaly, it will summon a spooky ghost portal and spawn those players back into the world as (hostile) vengeful spirits. If you see one of these portals, you can destroy it and send them packing back to the realm of the dead! | |||
** Players orbiting the anomaly can control the direction it moves in by speaking directional commands into deadchat. | |||

Текущая версия от 09:58, 31 октября 2024
These are random events that occur during a game regardless of gamemode. They have a relatively low chance of occurring, and are often (but not always) accompanied by a broadcasted message from CentCom. Some may only occur after so much time has elapsed during a round, or a certain number of players are present in the game.
Events
Anomalies
Minimum round time: 20 minutes
Chance of occurrence: Varies
"<Anomaly type> detected on long range scanners. Expected location: <area name>."
A random type of anomaly spawns in a random location on the station! These tend to cause bad things if left alone. So hop to it! To neutralize an anomaly, grab an analyzer from a toolbox and a remote signaling device. Scan the anomaly with the analyzer, then send the signal with the frequency shown! This will neutralize the anomaly and leave behind a core, a relatively valuable item to science.
The anomalies will move around, so a bit of hunting may be necessary if it happens to stray from its location.
Types of anomalies
- Unstable bluespace anomaly (Rare)
- If left unchecked, it will eventually detonate, warping every object in the area into a random location. Virology may end up in space! Tech storage may suddenly appear in the security wing!
- Localized hyper-energetic flux wave (Very common, 10 players minimum)
- If left alone, it will eventually erupt in a violent explosion.
- Pyroclastic anomaly (Very common)
- Creates plasma fires!
- Gravitational anomaly (Very common)
- Pulls and flings objects everywhere nearby.
- Localized high-intensity vortex anomaly (Rare, 20 players minimum)
- The rarest of the bunch. Consumes objects and creates hull breaches. Nasty!
- Hallucination anomaly
- Causes anyone nearby to hallucinate vividly.
- Bioscrambler anomaly
- Randomly swaps your limbs and organs with those of other species. Will not disappear on its own, and will instead continue pulsating until it is neutralized.
- Ectoplasmic anomaly (Rare)
- This event increases in power as more observers (dead players) orbit it. If only a few are orbiting the anomaly, it might only end up making a mess of the surrounding area or begin to haunt nearby objects. You can estimate how "powerful" one of these anomalies will be by examining it.
- If a majority of ghosts are orbiting the anomaly, it will summon a spooky ghost portal and spawn those players back into the world as (hostile) vengeful spirits. If you see one of these portals, you can destroy it and send them packing back to the realm of the dead!
- Players orbiting the anomaly can control the direction it moves in by speaking directional commands into deadchat.
Aurora Caelus
Minimum round time: 5 minutes
Chance of occurrence: Overwhelmingly Low
"<Station Name>: A harmless cloud of ions is approaching your station, and will exhaust their energy battering the hull. Nanotrasen has approved a short break for all employees to relax and observe this very rare event. During this time, starlight will be bright but gentle, shifting between quiet green and blue colors. Any staff who would like to view these lights for themselves may proceed to the area nearest to them with viewing ports to open space. We hope you enjoy the lights."

Minimum round time: 20 minutes
Minimum players: 15
Chance of occurrence: Low
"Rampant brand intelligence has been detected aboard <station name>. Please inspect any <machine brand> brand vendors for aggressive marketing tactics, and reboot them if necessary."
One of the machine type specified in the CentCom notice has become sentient! If not stopped, it will begin to spread a virus to all other vending machines, causing them to animate and attack anything in sight!
The origin machine can be any of the vending machines in the station, from the soda machine in escape to the cigarette dispenser in the captain's office. It will shout aggressive speech at anyone nearby and launch products at anything in sight. To stop it and prevent it from infecting any other vendors, it must be either deconstructed or its wires all cut, or just simply screwdriver the panel open and flick the speaker switch to off.
Bureaucratic Error
Minimum round time: 20 minutes
Chance of occurrence: Low
"A recent bureaucratic error in the Organic Resources Department may result in personnel shortages in some departments and redundant staffing in others."
Randomly sets the overflow role (the infinite slot one, default is Assistant) to any job in the game. You might end up wading in Wardens or drowning in Clowns

Chasmic Earthquake
Minimum round time: 35 minutes
Minimum players: 20
Chance of occurrence: Below average
"Planetary monitoring systems indicate a devastating seismic event in the near future."
A violent earthquake shakes the entire planet. Eventually, it will tear a large chasm in the structure of the station. If you see the floor tiles shaking, move out of the way unless you want to take a nasty fall!
This event can only occur on terrestrial maps, such as Icebox.
Clogged Vents
Minimum players: 5
Chance of occurrence: High
"<severity> biological obstruction detected in the ventilation network. Blockage is believed to be in <area>."
One of the station scrubbers will clog and begin pumping out creatures. These creatures are usually harmless, but there is a chance something truly nasty or bizarre might start crawling out instead. You can unclog a vent and stop the creatures with a plunger.
Communications Blackout
Minimum round time: 20 minutes
Chance of occurrence: Very High
"Ionospheric anomalies dete'fZ\\kg5_0-BZZZZZT"
Telecommunications goes down temporarily. The crew isn't often alerted of this, but the AI always is. Sometimes confused due to crew incompetence with the Ion Storm, detailed below.
Disease Outbreak: Advanced
Minimum round time: 15 minutes
Minimum players: 35
Chance of occurrence: Above average
"Confirmed outbreak of level 7 viral biohazard aboard <station name>. All personnel must contain the outbreak."
Get your asses in gear, medbay! A virus has somehow made it aboard the station.
These viruses are randomly generated, and the longer the round has gone on, the worse the virus!
Due to the similar CentCom alert, expect many confused/dumb crewmen to fill communications with cries of "WHERE'S THE BLOB?" or "LYNCH VIRO."
Disease Outbreak: Classic
Minimum round time: 20 minutes
Minimum players: 10
Chance of occurrence: Low
A variant of the Disease Outbreak event that uses pre-fabricated diseases over random ones.
Could be the common cold, could be the confusing space retrovirus, could be the crippling brainrot, or maybe just regular old Tuberculosis.
Electrical Storm
Minimum round time: 10 minutes
Minimum players: 5
Chance of occurrence: Above Average
"An electrical storm has been detected in your area, please repair potential electronic overloads."
A bunch of lights short out in a general area on the station. Annoying at best, but at least it gives the janitor something to do other than mop blood trails.
Fake Virus
Chance of occurrence: Above Average
One to three random crewmembers will start experiencing random virus symptoms, such as a headache, coughing, or sneezing. These symptoms will gradually increase in frequency and become more severe over the course of three minutes, after which the symptoms will vanish. A Health Analyzer should clear the misconception up. In addition, shortly after the first one to three crewmembers are afflicted, another one to five other random crewmembers will cough, sneeze, or feel lightheaded exactly once.
False Alarm
Minimum round time: 20 Minutes
Chance of occurrence: Above Average
Plays a false alarm message for about any other event. Fun with meteors.

Minimum players: 5
Chance of occurrence: Average
"Gr3y.T1d3 virus detected in <station name> imprisonment subroutines. Recommend station AI involvement."
All of the doors in a specific department or multiple departments become bolted open. The AI or cyborgs can fix this quickly, but hacking will do in a pinch.
Grid Check

Chance of occurrence: Average
"Abnormal activity detected in station name's powernet. As a precautionary measure, the station's power will be shut off for an indeterminate duration."
Shuts down all APCs stationwide for 30 to 120 seconds, with the exception of Engineering. Usually leads to stationwide looting once Assistants crowbar open airlocks.
Can be fixed early by hitting the APC's "Reset" button.
Immovable Rod
Minimum round time: 20 minutes
Minimum players: 15
Chance of occurrence: Average
"What the fuck was that?!"
Something of a humorous physics joke, an immovable rod will travel through the station in a straight line causing reasonable amounts of damage to the structure and killing anybody unfortunate to be in its path. They take some time to travel through the station, make an immense amount of noise, and as such are avoidable to players with quick reflexes. They will often open up secure areas, resulting in looting. If an Immovable Rod's path includes the arrivals shuttle, or any of the escape pods, you will find out what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object.
Ion Storm
Minimum round time: 20 minutes
Minimum players: 2, with at least one AI existing
Chance of occurrence: Above Average
"Ion storm detected near the station. Please check all AI-controlled equipment for errors."
All AIs aboard the station are uploaded with a random, glitched law! These new laws have random symbols for numbers, and thus are listed as the highest priority laws. New AI laws can range from bizarre and humorous to outright dangerous. A few examples include "CARGO REQUIRES THE STATION'S UNDERWEAR," "THE STATION IS HAPPIER WITHOUT VIPERS," and "JOHN SMITH IS A XENO." This sometimes results in someone having to reset the AI.
Ion storms can also cause the order of laws to be rearranged. Have fun with an AI that doesn't have "you may not harm a human" as priority #1!
Even better, Ion storms can sometimes replace laws or even whole lawsets.
Market Crash
Minimum round time: 20 minutes
Chance of occurrence: Average
"Due to [reason], prices for on-station vendors will be increased for a short period."
Vending machine prices become extremely expensive for a short duration. Not to be confused with the SpaceCoin market crash.
Mass Hallucination
Minimum round time: 20 minutes
Chance of occurrence: Average
Everyone shares a hallucination! Doesn't even have a CentCom notice. Might result in mass panic due to an imaginary delta alert notice.
Meteor Wave
Minimum round time: 20 minutes
Minimum players: 15/25/25 (Normal/Threatening/Catastrophic)
Chance of occurrence: Below Average
"Meteors have been detected on collision course with the station."
Meteors begin to spawn on the outer edges of the map, hurling across space! These are capable of dealing heavy damage, if not instantly annihilating anything they collide with. Capable of even releasing the singularity with a few bad hits!
Meateor Wave
Minimum round time: 20 minutes
Chance of occurrence: Very Low
"Meaty ores have been detected on collision course with the station."
Like meteors, but with meat and gibs instead of minerals.
Mice Migration
Minimum round time: 20 Minutes
Chance of occurrence: Average

Radiation Leak
Minimum round time: 20 minutes
Chance of occurrence: Above Average
"A radiation leak happens somewhere on the station, emanating radiation around a machine in the area. Engineering can stop the leak by using certain tools on it."
A random machine in a random department will begin emitting deadly radiation. The radiation can be stopped by using the correct tool on the machinery, which you can determine by examining it.
Radiation Storm
Minimum round time: 20 minutes
Chance of occurrence: Average
"High levels of radiation detected near the station. Maintenance is best shielded from radiation."
Everyone caught outside of protected zones is subject to a hefty dose of radiation. If you're particularly unlucky, you might get a bad mutation, or an extra strong radiation pulse. If you're lucky, you might get a genetic power!
Random Heart Attack
Minimum round time: 20 minutes
Minimum players: 40
Chance of occurrence: High
Unlucky spessmen get heart disease, which if it reaches stage 5, causes a heart attack. The only permanent cure for heart disease is surgery, albeit corazone can help stop the progression of heart disease. Using gym equipment will grant a hidden exercise buff that prevents heart disease for 20 minutes.

Scrubber Overflow
Minimum round time: 20 minutes
Minimum players: 10
Chance of occurrence: Average
"The scrubbers network is experiencing a backpressure surge. Some ejection of contents may occur."
All of the station's scrubbers begin to eject various colors of slippery foam, filled with different chemicals that range from humorous to annoying to dangerous. This generally tends to make moving around in most areas slow and annoying. Foam doesn't go on tables; climb up onto one if you want to avoid filling your body with goop and gunk.
Shuttle Catastrophe
Minimum round time: 20 minutes
Chance of occurrence: Average
"Your emergency shuttle had its shuttle inspector put the shuttle in reverse instead of park, causing the shuttle to crash into the hangar."
A disaster has unfolded while Centcom was preparing your emergency shuttle. The original/purchased emergency shuttle design will be swapped out with a random, different one.
Shuttle Insurance
Minimum round time: 20 minutes
Chance of occurrence: Average

...Fortunately, you can purchase insurance to prevent that from happening. If a shuttle catastrophe does occur, and you happened to have insurance, the station budget gets a bonus. Sweet!
Shuttle Loan
Minimum round time: 7 Minutes
Chance of occurrence: Average
CentCom takes control of the Supply Shuttle and recalls it for some purpose they state in the announcement.
Cargo Bay can decide whether they want to loan the Supply Shuttle to CentCom for 5 minutes through the Supply Shuttle Console. The station receives a nice sum of bonus cargo points, in exchange for the following...
- "The syndicate are trying to infiltrate your station. If you let them hijack your shuttle, you'll save us a headache."
- A number of syndicate mobs come aboard the supply shuttle when it next comes. Have security arm up to take them out and safely confiscate any weapons they bring with them.
- "A group of angry russians want to have a party, can you send them your cargo shuttle then make them disappear?"
- A number of armed and angry Russians, plus a bear or two come with the next supply shuttle. Kill them for some sweet duds!

- The next shuttle comes loaded with a variety of free goodies. Sweet! (Does not include extra points. Dang.)
- "It looks like a neighbouring station accidentally delivered their pizza to you instead."
- You get a bunch of free pizzas! May or may not include a pizza bomb.
- "One of our freighters carrying a bee shipment has been attacked by eco-terrorists. Can you clean up the mess for us?"
- The next shuttle arrives containing some beekeeping gear, and some bees. Bee careful!
- "We have discovered an active Syndicate bomb near our VIP shuttle's fuel lines. If you feel up to the task, we will pay you for defusing it."
- The shuttle arrives with a LIVE SYNDICATE BOMB on it. You get a huge sum of credits for accepting it, but is it really worth the risk?
- "A neighboring station needs some help handling some paperwork. Could you help process it for us?"
- The station gets a bunch of paperwork, addressed to the various heads of staff. Make sure they stamp them and send them back to Central Command through cargo!
Space Dust

Chance of occurrence: Overwhelmingly High
Spawns some high-speed space dust that can break grilles or windows on the edge of the station.
Space Dust (Major)
Minimum round time: 15 minutes
Chance of occurrence: Above Average
"A neighbouring station is throwing rocks at you. Perhaps they've grown tired of your messages."
Spawns a few waves of space dust. Will cause damage to the hull/windows.
Space Vines
Minimum round time: 20 minutes
Minimum players: 10
Chance of occurrence: Above Average
A plant which spreads extremely rapidly around the station. Space vines will grow thicker with time, first getting thick enough to block vision, then capable of entangling people. You can resist entanglement, but it is safer to avoid the vines. Airlocks, fire doors and windows will stop their growth until someone opens them. If in an open area, the vines will continue to expand until they engulf every space not blocked off!
To fight the vines:
- Drag a goat, either Pete or one ordered from cargo into the vines. It'll eat any vine it passes into, and even quickly consume them on its own so long as there's any nearby.
- A scythe from a weed control crate is effective.
- Plant-b-gone spray from botany and weedkiller grenades from cargo are also good options.
- Fire will also kill vines dead. Not recommended, as it will also kill anyone unfortunate to be caught around it.
Spontaneous Brain Trauma
Minimum round time: 20 minutes

Tram Malfunction
Minimum round time: 15 minutes
Chance of occurrence: Very High
"Our automated control system has lost contact with the tram's on board computer. Please take extra care while we diagnose and resolve the issue. Signals and emergency braking may not be available during this time."
Tram crossing signals go haywire, and tram collisions are more damaging. Only occurs on stations where a tram is present. Remember to look both ways before you cross the tracks!
Wormholes
Minimum round time: 20 minutes
Minimum players: 2
Chance of occurrence: Very Low
"Space-time anomalies detected on the station. There is no additional data."
Wormholes start appearing randomly around the station for several minutes. Going into one of these wormholes will teleport you to a random location. Sometimes you might be lucky enough to wind up somewhere good. Sometimes you might find yourself out in the middle of space.
If you have no intention of taking the gamble, you should move around the station in Walk mode. Wormholes that spawn directly on you will not warp you, so remaining perfectly still will ensure your safety. But take care not to let some chucklefuck push you into one!
Wisdom Cow
Chance of occurrence: High - but it can only happen once!
"A wise cow has been spotted in the area. Be sure to ask for her advice."
A cow spawns in a random area on the station. Centcom doesn't tell you where, but the cow will wander around a bit. The first person who interacts with the wisdom cow will receive a puzzling piece of advice, and become a master at a random skill, upon which the wisdom cow will vanish.

Other Events
There exist certain events that can only occur only under special circumstances!
Wiznerd Events
The big bad list of all the devious magical events that replace the usual random events on the station.
