== General Station-wide Mapping Guidelines ==
=== Atmospherics ===
*Each area should have EXACTLY one air alarm (Exceptions are only possible if a room has scrubbers or vent pumps on different frequencies)
*Each ROOM (Walled off space) should have at least one vent pump and scrubber, which is properly connected to it's respective loop
*The air supply loop's pipes should be colored blue
*The scrubbers loop's pipes should be colored red
=== Power ===
*Each area (which requires power) should have exactly one APC
== Some ==
== Atmospherics ==
=== Pipes and manifolds ===
Atmospherics releases it's cocktail of gases into the air supply loop (blue pipes). The station is also equipped with a scrubber loop, which filters unwanted gases and sends them back to atmospherics via the scrubber loop (red pipes).
If you're expanding the air supply loop (blue pipes) use the objects in /obj/machinery/atmospherics/pipe/simple/supply/visible or ../hidden depending on if you want it to show above floors or below them. For manifolds use the objects in /obj/machinery/atmospherics/pipe/manifold/supply/visible and ../hidden.
If you are expanding the scrubber loop (red pipes) use the objects in /obj/machinery/atmospherics/pipe/simple/scrubbers/visible or ../hidden depending on if you want it to show above floors or below them. For manifolds use the objects in /obj/machinery/atmospherics/pipe/manifold/scrubbers/visible and ../hidden.
If you are however building a pipe network which has nothing to do with the air supply or scrubbers loop, you should use the objects in /obj/machinery/atmospherics/pipe/simple/general/visible or ../hidden. For manifolds use the objects in /obj/machinery/atmospherics/pipe/manifold/general/visible and ../hidden. To manually set these ones up you will need to set the following parameters (Assuming you are properly using the visible/hidden categories)
color = "" // select from "" for gray or "red", "blue", "cyan", "green" or "yellow"
icon_state = "intact" //The color of pipes is set to what the color variable says at round
start irrespective of this, however to make mapping easier, please set the icon_state variable
to the correct one here too. Please refer to the table below for icon_states for different colors.

=== Air Alarm ===
Every single area (with scrubbers and/or vent pumps) should have exactly one air alarm. More than one should be placed if vent pumps or scrubbers use different radio frequencies than the default one (1439).
=== Scrubbers (Station air supply) ===
Every room (ie. walled off space) except for maintenance hallways should have at least one scrubber.
The vars you need to set for this one specifically are:
on = 1
scrubbing = 1
scrub_co2 = 1
scrub_toxins = 0
scrub_n2o = 0
volume_rate = 120
panic = 0
frequency = 1439
And make sure the '''id_tag''' is the default one (null)
Also ensure the scrubber is connected to the scrubber loop!!
=== Vent Pumps (Station air supply) ===
Every room (ie. walled off space) except for maintenance hallways should have at least one vent pump.
The vars you need to set for this one specifically are:
on = 1
pump_direction = 1
pressure_checks = 1
frequency = 1439
And make sure the '''id_tag''' is the default one (null)
Also ensure the vent pump is connected to the air supply loop!!
=== Disposals ===
Disposals is something that you will probably wind up having to play with atleast once.
Disposals operates in a loop, starting and ending at the Cargo Office. From here it rotates around the station and eventually returns. There are branches off this main loop. "Trash" branches which join the main branch with a junction. And "Mail" branches which use a sortjunction. T'''he important thing to remember when adding new branches is you do not mix mail branches with trash branches.'''
==== Trash Branches ====
[[File:Trash_pipes.png|150px|thumb|right|Example of Junctions.]]
[[File:Junction.png|150px|thumb|left|top]]
Trash branches can have sub branches to other disposal cans as long as their junctions all "point" towards the main loop, and when it gets to the main loop has a junction that points in the direction the main loop is going (usually clockwise) in the direction of the main loop.
The junction is '''/obj/structure/disposalpipe/junction'''.
When placing the junction don't worry about how it's rotated, we'll get to that. Worry about which pipe the arrow is pointed and we'll rotate it once it's placed. Place it and then we need to realize which cardinal direction the arrow should point. Edit the variables of the junction and look for "[[Understanding_SS13_Code#Direction_.28dir.29_var|dir]]". Use that link to set the value the "exit" end should point towards. So if we want the arrow to point north we would set it to 1, south 2, and so on.
That's it. If you are editing a link in the main loop make sure it's going with the flow, don't have two junctions that point back at each other it will cause an infinite loop and that's bad.
==== Mail branches ====
[[File:Sortjunction.png|150px|thumb|left|top]]
Mail branches use a sorting junction ('''/obj/structure/disposalpipe/sortjunction''') to go from the main loop to the destination, it should not branch off further or have trash boxes branched into it as well, it will cause problems. sorting junctions are placed in the same way regular junctions are. sort junctions should only be on the main loop, do not use them elsewhere. What sort junctions do is look for a tag from a package, if it matches the ID of the office it is checking for it redirects the package to it's "Sort Direction" Sort junctions either sort to the left or the right, their ''dir'' variable will decide which direction the "Default" is (not sort direction, our picture example's dir value is to the east so it's 4). Luckily there are plenty of icons for this item so you can choose which one works and can probably find the correct directions. If not you can either edit ''iconstate'' "pipe-j1s" vs "pipe-j2s" (changes which side the sort side is on of the pipe and set ''dir'' until you get it the way you want it. Once you have it placed you need to look up the number you will be placing in it's ''sortType'' variable, this can be determined by a list in '''code/setup.dm''' and counting through the list for your destination if you need to make new destinations you need to edit that list.
'''var/list/TAGGERLOCATIONS'''
At the time of this writeup that list is:
# Disposals
# Cargo Bay
# QM Office
# Engineering
# CE Office
# Atmospherics
# Security
# HoS Office

==== Last steps ====
Click out your pipes and when you get to where the disposal unit goes place it with /obj/machinery/disposal and a pipe leading up to it on the same tile that is /obj/structure/disposalpipe/trunk
and you are done!
== Power ==
=== APC ===
Each new room needs at least one, this will provide all the power for the room (magically). Any room that is very equipment heavy may need another APC to split the load and prevent early black outs.
=== Wiring ===
Make sure the wires lead from the main power grid, and to the APC(s) of your area. If any equipment in your new area requires a wire under it, line it up, connected to the main power grid, and under the machinery. Wires are also helpful when making electrical grills (just dot wire under a grill), make sure the wires touch the main power grid (or they won't shock people).
[[Файл:Map12.jpg]]
== Equipment ==
=== Lights ===
Lights take up a lot of power, don't use too many! Make sure to put in just enough so the room is fully lit, but not so many that the equipment will go out in ten minutes of the round starting.
=== Light switch ===
For mood lighting, or to show the room is currently not in use by the primary occupant. These disable the lighting equipment (and power drain associated) in the area, but not desk lamps. Place these on walls, usually by a door.
=== Request Console ===
If a certain room has no need for materials, or produces no materials, do not give it a Request Console. If it does (for either case or both) make sure it has at least one, that is in a place where some one will see it.
=== Intercoms ===
At least every room should have one of these. They should be set to 145.9, and be speaker ON Microphone OFF. This is so radio signals can reach people even without head sets on. Larger room will require more than one at a time.
=== Security Cameras ===
Most areas should have these, enough to see the general area from a Human point of view, but, not bunched together for the AI's sake. Larger rooms may require more than one.

access_cent_thunder = 102 - Thunderdome.
access_cent_specops = 103 - Special Ops.

access_cent_teleporter = 107 - Teleporter.
access_cent_creed = 108 - Creed's office.
access_cent_captain = 109 - Captain's office/ID comp/AI.
=== Misc Access ===
access_syndicate = 150 - General Syndicate Access
access_crate_cash = 200 - Money Crates?
=== Airless Floors ===
Ideal for rooms or chambers that mix gas, and for tiles exposed to space. Not ideal for areas that humans will cross in frequency.
Use these on external tiles (to prevent lag when the game starts) and chambers that will require gas mixing (toxins mix chamber/ furnace). Double check these to make sure you don't suffocate mobs in the new rooms.
=== Fire Alarms and Fire Doors ===
Make sure to put these INSIDE of the boundary of the area, so there is a lock down. Any spot that gets hot as a normal function should not have a fire Alarm right next to the heat source (toxin mix chamber). Make sure there is a fully sealed area (with the exception of maintenance doors for people to escape fires) that can't be open by normal civilians.
=== Weak Points ===
Judge how high security the room will be, if it is high security, reinforced walls and electrified grill windows may be in order. Areas that do not need a lot of security can use basic walls, and windows to your liking (though normal glass windows break very very easy). Each room should have one place that's weaker than the rest (like a back door, side entrance, or a window), just because the main entrance might be out of commission (and realistically, for traitors to break into).
=== Item and Machinery Distribution ===
Be smart about what will go in an area, keep a fine balance between the size of the room and amount of equipment. Large rooms may require multiple APCs to prevent power outages early in game. Second, make sure to place equipment that make sense for the area (security computer in a security area/ Medical vendor in a medical area).
== Balance ==
=== Item contents ===
The harder the room is to enter, the more goodies or sensitive equipment there is inside. Make sure to keep this in mind (and don't make an empty room that's covered in blast doors, electrified grills, reinforced walls, and captain level doors).
=== Room security ===
A room is only as secure as its necessity. Public rooms should not have many security functions (other than a fire alarm), but private work space must be more secure (based on job). The bartenders do not need reinforced walls around their storage, but engineers do.
The highest security rooms should utilize the highest security measures. The lowest security rooms should utilize the cheapest security measures.
== Step_x, step_y and the broken movement syndrome ==
So you compiled the map and suddenly whenever you move you no longer get the animation of moving but just 'appear' on the next tile?
So a while back step_x and step_y were introduced to allow pixel based movement. SS13 does not utilize this. Step_x and step_y are variables that each atom has. The way they work is that as soon as you set any object on the map to use one of these variables, the game interprets that you overrode all default movement code and wrote your own - but you didn't (The code that makes the animation from tile to tile).
To fix this problem you need to close dream maker (save the project first, obviously). Open your map (.dmm) file in a text editor, such as notepad or notepad++. Search (ctrl+f) through the file for step_x and step_y and remove any reference to it. Once no more step_x or step_y -es are found in the file, save it and open it in dream maker once again. Compile the code and movement should work fine once more. Go to [[Community|the development IRC]] if you need more help.
