| Community | Managing the Steam page, auth merging, and future plans We’re relieved to say the transfer of the Steam page has successfully gone through. We’re setting up an organization to manage the Steam page, meaning all of the essential SS14 services have now been handed over. We’re still in the process of bringing servers back up, so stick with us as we work to get them running. As always, we’ll let you know when we’ve got updates on when they’re ready to j… | — | |

| In-game event | Update Vlog 109 - (Crawling, Smart Fridge, Wizard's Den) This is normally more elaborate, but I'm tired. You put healy stuff in fridge, fridge dispenses stuff, life good. Wizard den is real; a wizard lives there and teleports out. Advanced reagents work slower, reagents in smoke and foam react differently. You can crawl now, or slip into a crawl. Crawling has combat benefits in compact situations, but can make you an easier target. Crawling also allo… | — | |
| Game update | Launcher Update This concerns the game launcher used to connect to game servers. Updates for game content happens separately. · When downloading server content, the launcher will now persist downloaded files even if the process is interrupted.

| In-game event | Update Vlog - 108 (Harmpack, Jump Boots, Artifact Glue) Two new science technologies can be researched on the station, the first of which are jump boots. These allow the user to traverse potentially lethal surfaces with ease, no power required. The second is the harmpack; this backpack allows the users to enjoy two extra functional arms, for whatever purposes you may have! Artifact glue can allow for endless riches or destruction to whatever artifac… | — | |
| In-game event | Update Vlog - 107 (Scurrets, Stamina Damage Resistance, Salvage Tweaks) Scurrets make their first appearance on the station. They are a ghost role that is purchasable for 25k spesos. Currently they are only for emotional support. A new Atmos device was added that allows technicians even greater control over the pressure in their networks. Most syndicate hardsuits now feature some level of stamina resistance, giving them greater power over stun weaponry. There have… | — | |
| In-game event | Update Vlog - 106 (Exo Station, Estoc DMR, Barotrauma Damage Buff) A new station joins the game; it is named Exo. This station features alien architecture, different department layouts, and other stylized choices. A new syndicate weapon named the Estoc is a longer-range option, with not quite as much stopping power as the C20 or Bulldog. Thieving gloves were removed, meaning now only the thief antag can steal from people quickly and stealthily. Scrap armor all… | — | |
| In-game event | Update Vlog - 105 - (Pipe Stacking, Text Highlighting, Sentry Turret Controls) Atmos techs can now layer multiple pipes on the same tile and even combine them into one singular output. This offers the previous complex systems of pipe stacking while still looking great. You can now highlight any words you want, from your name to your current job. This will allow you to stay more focused on things pertaining to you, especially helpful in busy radio situations. Sentry turret… | — | |

Plasma, a medium population station, is a unique map that features plasma pools, a lot of asteroid rocks, and unusual hallway designs not found in other stations. In theme with the map, the TEG is the primary power method of the station. The second map is known as Elkridge. This is a low population map with a cozy design and a few unique takes on areas like… | — | |
| Community | 10 Years of Space Station 14 I don’t really know where to start with this. I discovered Space Station 13 almost 11 years ago. I was hooked, but always wanted a remake just as much as everybody else. People have always been upset at BYOND’s limitations, and that was just as true back then. The curse was already a meme at that point, but that never stopped people from taking their shot. And one of the projects that seemed to… | — | |
| In-game event | Update Vlog 94 - (Chameleon PDA, Extra Syndi Discounts, New Ion Storm Prompts) The chameleon PDA is the newest piece of equipment in the Syndicate's roster. You can now almost go completely undercover as any member of any department (with exceptions to mindshielded ones). Syndicate agents will now also enjoy more discounted options to potentially choose from in their uplinks. There have been tweaks to various construction objects, like reinforced tables requiring a welder… | — | |
| In-game event | Update Vlog 93 - (Loop Station, Gate Station, Holopads) Two new stations have been introduced to the game; they are named “Loop” and “Gate.”. Loop is a medium population map focused around a centralized security and medical department, with wide open hallways and an easy-to-navigate layout. Gate is a very complex map focused around gateways and shuttles as the primary method to get between departments. Each department is segmented far away from each… | — | |
| In-game event | Update Vlog 80 - (Executions, Custom Burgers, Thief Beacon) Melee executions allow for sharp-bladed weapons to ignore armor and inflict massive damage. Melee executions may be performed on yourself or targets that are incapacitated/cuffed. Custom burgers have been added, allowing for actual custom recipes that don't require something like a microwave. The thief beacon allows for thieves to steal items and not have to hoard them on their character all sh… | — | |
| In-game event | Update Vlog 79 - (New Reagents, Cutter Machine, PNG Export) This week brings some new reagents and reworked chloral hydrate. These new reagents include potassium iodide, which helps prevent radiation damage, and haloperidol, which removes stimulants and hallucinogens from your system. Drowsiness is also a new symptom and side effect where you may fall asleep at random; chloral hydrate also now makes you drowsy instead of knocking you out once you reach… | — | |
| In-game event | Update Vlog 78 - Reinforcement Buffs, New Botany Mutations, Dragon Body Fixes This week brings major buffs to both syndicate and nuclear operative reinforcements. Nuclear operative reinforcements now are loaded up with a blood-red and a chest rig, just like a regular nukie. Syndicate reinforcements now have loadouts ranging from medical items to spy equipment. Atmos techs can now build pipes inside walls, giving them extra room for whatever projects they are working on.… | — | |
| In-game event | Update Vlog 77 - Syndicate Raid Suit, Throwing Rework, Bartending Tweaks This week brings a powerful new suit of armor, available only to nuclear operatives. It is a well-rounded suit that is not space-faring, meaning it must be used with specific plans in mind. Throwing has been changed to allow for significantly more precision when throwing objects and weapons. Bartenders now have to shake or stir specific drinks, giving a bit more variety in their bartending meth… | — | |
| In-game event | Update Vlog 76 - Vox, Giant Asteroid Dungeons, Nukie Nerfs This week introduces a bird-like species known as the Vox. The Vox must breathe pure nitrogen; otherwise, they will take hefty poison damage until they get pure nitrogen in their lungs. Salvage has received some new content in the form of "VGRoid." The VGRoid is a giant asteroid with hundreds of ore deposits and salvage expedition dungeons that generate on them. The aesteroids are filled with d… | — | |
| In-game event | Update Vlog 74 - Meteor Swarm Revamp, Pipe Stacking Removal, General Balancing The content freeze is over, and there were a number of notable PRs merged during the freeze and shortly after. Meteor swarms are now much more deadly and can breach through many layers of walls. Pipe stacking was removed, changing the way Atmos has to do pretty much everything. Many combat QoL additions were added, such as wielding autodropping items, shooting over stunned people, etc. Finally,… | — | |
| In-game event | Update Vlog 72 - Train Station, Sleeper Agents, Anti Rotting Chem This week brings a new station to play on; it is named Train Station. The train station features departments stacked in a linear fashion that resembles a train shape. The syndicate not only sends agents at the beginning of a shift but may also awaken sleeper agents in the middle of the shift. Chemists can now make an anti-rot reagent with a little help from botany to prevent crew members from p… | — | |
| In-game event | Update 71 - New Map, Slime Species Update, Portable Recharger This week brings a new station to play on; it is named Oasis. This station features a large park at its center and a massive mining-themed perma brig that is not attached to the station, which leaves a lot of room for unique gameplay. Syndicate librarians may now purchase cane swords; syndicates in general may now purchase syndicats. Science has received some tech tree changes, with the cargo t… | — | |
| In-game event | Update 70 - Loadouts, Jukebox, Killer Tomato This week brings customizable role-specific loadouts. In the lobby, you can customize your loadout for every role, from jumpsuits to backpack types. Botanists can now grow their own personalized army through the form of killer tomatoes.
