Welcome To Space Station 14 (New Player Guide)

First thing I did was walk into space, now when I log I see my corpse floating around

seconding janitor as a good role for people who're new but not Brand New Playing Their First Round. in my experience, HoP tends to be pretty willing to just let random passengers have the job, and i understand why - it's hard to completely fuck up as a janitor. even if all you can find is a trash bag, you can still sorta do your job by wandering around and cleaning up all the empty snack bags and soda cans people leave lying around. it's low-risk, (relatively) low-stress, and a pretty good way to get acquainted with the controls and station layouts, since you'll be spending some time wandering around looking for messes to clean. or looking for a mop, if you got assigned the job after arriving

is their a way to re orientate the camera with out a numpad?

Not a comment specifically about SS14 but I've been learning /tg/station through a horrifying amalgam of shit that's been ported into it and at a certain point once you've learned enough about the game and know how to do it without having to look at guides as much, you begin to have it all click together. Like, botany is a job that benefits from all sorts of knowledge from chemistry to construction to the actual fucking job. And while overall there are tone differences between the different iterations and versions, and mechanical differences, I think they all benefit from being looked at in that way. The more you learn the more you will understand why people are obsessed with this game and the things that can happen in it. But honestly the most important skill to remember is roleplay, cause with roleplay you don't necessarily need to know how to do things to get them done.

Welcome to Space Station 14 anyone who reads this, If you have played Space Station 13, great! you wont have much trouble.
If you dont even know what that is, Your in for a ride my friend, First you will experience the most confusion ever, This is normal as the game is very random, Try to ask questions. You might feel anxious something bad will happen, Trust me, it always will and most the time there isn't really much you can do if you are a low responsibility role.
So sit back and relax as you can catch a really nice view of the station burning from the comfort of your bar stool as you and the other people on station drink themselves to death!

Thanks for this video, this might sound weird to other people but I get a kind of social anxiety about getting into role-play games like this with people I don't know.

I've played very little D&D with friends but want to find groups to join on roll20 to play more and possibly build the experience to Dungeon Master for my friends, I get anxious about joining randos on roll20 too and haven't tried yet.😔

This video has definitely helped make me feel better about starting SS14 and I have an idea for a janitor character now.

OH MY GOD SO ESOTERIC SIS!!!

What about for the people who don't know that a mop and water clean the floor

this bastard made a syndicate and security guide before a new player guide, honestly respect gained

I have played 1200 hours in ss14 and this video is very useful for me

Kill sec, kill sec, kill sec, kill sec, kill sec, kill sec, kill sec!!!!

Being up front to newcomers about server culture is so important

And remember to pet Ian

for the algorithm! lets gooooo!

Some more advance: Suit coords are important! To toggle between none, health, and suit coords, you right click on your suit and navigate to your sensors! (Learned this recently, I personally didn't realize that suits were the actual catalyst for "suit" coords lol)

this stuff will definitely help new players methinks

I really wish there was a view for markings that removed clothes. It's really annoying not being able to see how your selection looks.

Great video! This surely helps newcomers and maybe makes them a bit less confused about the game :D

Tried SS14 out recently, my knowledge of SS13 helped quite alot. But goddamn, no matter how good you are or how much you khow. Sometimes it just up to chances.

Last time i was a Traitor Chaplain, got the objective to keep a fellow traitor from salvage team alive. The entire salvage team *supposedly* got killed by the QM by plasma. (Don't exactly remember the exact detail, but QM killed all of them somehow. Who then proceed to left shortly after.)

Such is life of a space man.

One time I joined a Russian LRP server at night, I joined as janitor just to clean stuff then I got selected for captain by the commanding personnel, plot twist - I was a syndicate agent, then we got RDMed by some idiots.

I think my biggest problem on my first time playing was navigation, the first job I got was Janitor and I spent about 30 minutes looking for it and it was just reading the sign on the wall

I never joined SS13 because I was nervous of learning. Now I regularly play HoP on Lizard and am having a great time. Absolutely wish I'd been willing to make mistakes back then.

As someone still relatively new to the game my biggest hurdles are recipes really. The in game guidebook was super helpful when I was learning medical. I've had trouble in science though since most people focus on the artifacts and few have time to explain the APE. But even with that, this game is fun, fantastic and it deserves more players. Thanks for all your content Liten.

I'll always support my homie liltenhead, love these videos.

You do such a great service to this community, I'm glad we have you because so many people would be lost without all of the guides and changelog videos you've made, I would like to just say, thank you, for everything.

Just in time! I've turned my friend into our cult yesterday and he liked SS WAY more, than expected.

gonna try and play my first round of ss14

now maybe i will be in one

Would love to see you play on delta v

Wish i had this kind of help when i started, new players are blessed for having You doing this videos Lilten
