A game mode with a rather checkered past. Removed due to being worse balanced than the station budget. Revolution was in theory a really great gamemode that everyone on the station would get to enjoy, but it never quite would turn out as well as you would hope: the rounds would always turn out to be super chaotic, and more often than not, end up with a battlefield, with dead assistants and security officers everywhere. Since at the time 60+ player rounds were not uncommon, the revs would usually convert most of the crew and quickly kill all of the heads by swarming them. The only real defense would be to hide, which made the round drag on forever. As years passed, and server populations shrunk, and the rev nostalgia grew and grew, revolution was added back in rotation by popular demand in 2017.

Note: Spacebux is very much a WIP system. If you find some bugs with Spacebux or have some suggestions on how to make it better, please see the appropriate forum thread!
Earn It
Spacebux earnings follow a simple rule:
(Part-Timer or Full-Timer Modifier * Base Spacebux Wage)- Penalties
Part-Timer or Full-Timer Modifier
Roughly a percentage of Base Spacebux Salary when you joined the round, or, in another way, how much time you'd spent playing through the round. If you join before roundstart or within 8 minutes after, you get the Full-Timer wage, and your Modifier will be 100%. Essentially your Base Spacebux Wage will be unaffected. If you join 8 or so minutes after the round starts however, you get the Part-Timer wage, and your modifier will represent the amount of total round time in which you were present. (If you join at 10 minutes and the round ends at 20 minutes, your modifier is 50%.)
Base Spacebux Wage
Though Spacebux is out-of-game currency, the base Spacebux Salary is based on thein-game salary of whatever Job you play, as opposed to the amount of cash you start on your person when you spawn. If you take the Unionized or Pawn Star traits, your base salary amount for Spacebux earnings will not be affected.
The starting salary for each station job is listed in the table below:

Captain | 1000 |
AI | 900 |
Head of Personnel | 750 |
Chef | 250 |
Barman | 250 |

Chaplain | 150 |
Chief Engineer | 750 |
Engineer | 500 |
Mechanic | 450 |
Miner | 550 |
Quartermaster | 350 |
Head of Security | 750 |
Security Officer | 700 |
Detective | 300 |
Medical Director | 750 |
Roboticist | 450 |
Geneticist | 600 |
Medical Doctor | 400 |
Research Director | 750 |
Scientist | 400 |
Staff Assistant | 100 |
Penalties
note that traitors do not suffer any penalties regardless of whether they escape or live. they also keep their held item.
depending on the round type, escape is not an option (nuclear, blob, revolution). in this case you do not need to escape, just live.
Spend It
Those Spacebux are only an intermediate reward. These trinkets and baubles are Goonstation's real gift to you for playing. You can only buy one of these per a round, but they'll persist with you so long as you escape on the shuttle alive. If you're playing a Antagonist and/or playing nuke/blob/any game mode that can be ended without a shuttle call, you'll still keep the held item. Most of these will spawn in your backpack or similar, sort of like an extra trinket item.
