SS13 Machine Gamemode

SS13: Machine

A new gamemode with special roles and objectives.


Four players are chosen to be antagonists.

They are the MACHINES.

They spawn on a syndicate shuttle not far from the station.

They have four objectives:

Obj. #1 Steal a functional AI.
Obj. #2 No-one must escape the station.
Obj. #3 Release the singularity.
Obj. #4 Destroy the station.

Each MACHINE is tailored to an objective. They are:

MACHINE #1: A slow-moving armored mech. It has usable hands and can manipulate objects.
MACHINE #2: A robotic spider armed with the latest killing technology.
MACHINE #3: A fragile repair bot re-purposed to sabotage and deconstruct any obstacle.
MACHINE #4: A rapid drilling vehicle fitted with a nuclear fission reactor.

Each MACHINE is equipped with a 30k power cell. It can be recharged in many ways:
1. Standing over a power cell will drain its power into the MACHINE.
2. Standing over an exposed charged wire will drain its power into the MACHINE.
3. Being electrocuted will charge the MACHINE a small amount.
4. Having a fresh power cell installed will update the MACHINE's power.
5. Exosuit Charging Stations will charge the MACHINE.

Each MACHINE is outfitted with a syndicate radio device, able to communicate and listen to all channels. The MACHINES can communicate over a private syndicate channel.
Each MACHINE can be repaired with welding tools and cable coils.
Each MACHINE can be re-awakened after destruction with a Cyborg Reset Module.
Each MACHINE is built in a robust fashion and is hard to destroy.
Each MACHINE has memorized the same Nuclear Authentication Code given to the captain.
