About this project

Space Station 14 is a multiplayer game about paranoia and chaos aboard a space station, and a remake of the cult-classic Space Station 13. It runs on Robust Toolbox, the project's own engine written in C#. This repository is the primary repo for the game. To avoid requiring forks of RobustToolbox, a "content" pack is loaded by both client and server; it contains everything needed to play on one specific server. The repo includes both RobustToolbox and the content pack, making it the place to start if you want to host a server or create content for SS14. Project links include the official website, Discord, forum, Mastodon, Patreon, Steam page, and standalone nightly downloads. A documentation site covers the game's content, engine, game design, and license/attribution specifications, and offers resources for new contributors. Contributions are welcome from anyone. The project maintains a list of issues that newcomers can pick up, and asks that changes and pull requests follow the contribution guidelines. Translations of the game are not currently accepted in the main repository; those interested are directed to create or contribute to a fork. The project explicitly does not accept low-effort or wholesale AI-generated contributions, including code or YAML from tools like GitHub Copilot or ChatGPT, AI-created artwork, sound files or other assets, and auto-generated documentation, issue reports or pull request descriptions. Simple tools such as single-line completion in an IDE are noted as exceptions. Building requires cloning the repository, running RUN_THIS.py to initialize submodules and load the engine, then compiling the solution with dotnet build. More detailed setup instructions are available in the documentation. All code in the content repository is licensed under the MIT license. Most assets are licensed under CC-BY-SA 3.0 unless stated otherwise, with license and copyright recorded in each asset's metadata file. Some assets use non-commercial licenses such as CC-BY-NC-SA 3.0 and would need to be removed for commercial use.
