📺 StationTV - A TV Broadcasting System for Stationeers

📺 Tiny Station TV Network 📺

Please click THUMBS UP if you like it! 👍

A tiny multi-channel television network for your Stationeers base.

This script turns a screen into a live in-world broadcast system with news, weather, sports, ads, lore references, and the occasional pirate signal intrusion. It is designed to feel like something your station would actually leave running in the background: useful, strange, and just a little ridiculous.

About Maurice

Maurice is part of the program.

He is a pirate cat, a signal intruder, a sports disruptor, and an unexplained broadcast presence.

He does not need to be understood. He only needs to be accepted.

Updates & Ongoing Development

[hr][/hr]

This project evolves alongside Stationeers itself.

Rather than treating updates as simple patch notes, new game features are gradually translated into broadcast content. Systems, mechanics, and changes introduced by the game are reinterpreted as:

• NEWS headlines and ticker items
• UTILITY and PUBLIC advisories
• WEATHER and system alerts
• Occasional… reinterpretations of reality

The goal is for the TV network to feel like a living part of your station, reacting to the game as it grows instead of remaining static.

Immediate Plans

A high definition version is currently under development, with a 512x512 resolution, big steps up in detail, hand-animated graphics, and a more in-depth sports viewing experience!

Important: Manual Updates Required

Because this is a script-based system, updates are not applied automatically.

When a new version is released, you will need to:

• Re-copy the updated script
• Paste it into your logic chip(s)
• Re-run or restart the system if needed

Think of it less like installing a mod, and more like maintaining your own slightly unstable broadcast infrastructure.
