About This Guidebook

This guidebook is also our wiki.

There's no separate wiki software. The same source renders in two places:

  • In-game, the page you're reading right now.
  • On the website, at ss14.zig.computer/guidebook/, rebuilt nightly from the same files.

When the source changes, both surfaces update.

Editing pages

Edits are git PRs against the vacation-station-14 repository on GitHub. There's no separate editor login, no review queue, no wiki-specific account.

The community pages live under:

  • Resources/ServerInfo/Guidebook/_VS/Community/ — the page bodies (XML).
  • Resources/Prototypes/_VS/Guidebook/community.yml — the entry registry that wires pages into the menu.
  • Resources/Locale/en-US/_VS/guidebook/community.ftl — the menu labels.

CONTRIBUTING.md has a short "Adding guidebook pages" section with the full flow. The format is the SS14 Document markup — markdown-ish text with a few inline tags (, [color=#hex][/color], [textlink]). Look at any existing page for a working example.

Pages we'd love help with

  • Per-department deep-dives written from a VS14-casual angle (not strict-RP).
  • Recurring-event explainers once those events run.
  • "How to host a round event" notes — bar nights, music shows, theatre, all the stuff that makes the hangout work.

If you're not sure whether a page belongs, open a draft PR or a GitHub issue and ask. We fix-merge over reject — if the core's good, we'll absorb it and smooth the edges.
