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:

Job	Starting Salary
Captain	1000
AI	900
Head of Personnel	750
Chef	250
Barman	250
Janitor	200
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.

Item	Price	Notes
Crayon	$50	Allows you to draw cute bees and rude graffiti all over the station floor and walls.
Rainbow Paint Can	$1500	Paint everything with a paint can whose color changes every time you use it.
Plaid Paint Can	$3000	Like the rainbow paint can, but now you'll give everything you paint a plaid design too!
Sticker Box	$300	A box full of stickers
Bee Egg	$550	Contains one greater domestic space bee egg, space mankind's greatest friend.
Harmonica	$150	A harmonica that plays exquisite jazz tunes that really suit a Brig atmosphere. Pairs well with Jailbird.
Air Horn	$800	A loud, obnoxious airhorn, for when honking a regular bike horn just isn't enough.
Dramatic Horn	$400	A bike horn that plays dramatic-sounding sound clips. Can be made into a Chefbot.
Trumpet	$700	An excellent fellow brass companion to the saxophone.
Fiddle	$700	A classic wooden fiddle that plays some nice folk music tunes. Keep away from devils.
Gold Zippo	$500	What's better than flicking a zippo and lighting like a badass? Flicking a golden one and lighting like a rich badass! Otherwise identical to the ordinary zippo.
Toy Sword	$900	Strike fear into the hearts of men, and see them driven before you with this replicia cyalume saber. Perfect for miscreants.
Sound Synthesizer	$14000	Just like the ones Brobots have, available for both humans and cyborgs! Remember that you can click on yourself to change the sound, and click on the synthesizer to actually produce the sound. Suitable for taking the Clown's job.
Food Synthesizer	$8000	Just like the ones Brobots have, available for humans and cyborgs alike! You click on yourself to set/change what food it'll spit out and click on the synthesizer to spit it out. You're like a slightly more useful vending machine!
TBA Alternate Jumpsuit	$1500	You spawn wearing an alternate version of the jumpsuit associated with your job. It'll have the same design, but it'll be in the opposite/complementary colors of the usual ones.
TBA Alternate Clown Suit	$200	A clown suit with a different color scheme. Available in pink, purple, blue, and yellow! Note that you have to join/spawn as a Clown to get the outfit. If you spawn/join as another job, you won't get the outfit!
Reptillian	$3000	You start out with the Saurian Genetics mutation. You see slightly better in the dark and have a tendency to extend every s into a hiss. Your human status is rather murky, but you are still protected by the same anti-griefing and anti-racism protections as everyone.
Skeleton	$5000	You start out with the Ossification mutation. No in-game effects, but people will tend to make skeleton jokes around you a lot. Your human status is rather murky, but you are still protected by the same anti-griefing protections as everyone.
No Limbs	$10000	You start with no limbs at all, so you can't move unless you have someone to drag you around, have somebody give you new limbs, or hitch a ride.
Fruit Hat	$150	Guaranteed to be free of the ghost of Carmen Miranda.
Hoodie	$1500	Buy the option to wear casual wear to work, when just finding a tracksuit isn't for you.
Stripe Outfit	$1400	A relic of a (gladly) bygone era.
Discount Fake Moustache	$500	Won't hide your identity like a real Syndie 'stache and you can't twirl it, but it'll still provide the same villainous style.
Golden Top Hat	$900	The next stage of cranial adornment. It doesn't have a sparkle like real gold, unfortunately, but the envy and admiration will you will create will quickly make up for it.
Alohamaton Skin	$3000	Cyborg only (if you respawn as something not a Cyborg, you'll get refunded the Spacebux.) When you spawn as a Cyborg, you'll look like a certain automaton on vacation.
