BasicRoundstartVariation needs to only affect station

[Emisse]

having the fucking nukie shuttle and syndicate outpost and cargo shuttle and salvage shuttle trashed to hell is insane. also having lights out on these things is bad especially for antags roundstart, needs to be bound to station grid

I have become more environmentally aware of the waste from space capitalism, because I can't stop fuckin drowning in trash and puddles

I once got a stack of steel and then some from the trash on the cargo shuttle alone using the material reclaimer

hidden cargo nerf???

Some grid-distinction is definitely in order for this feature. I'd argue something like this:

Maintained by station staff:

• Main station - all in RNG (the way the feature currently works)
• Station shuttles (cargo & salvage) - tune it down to below 10% of what it is and maybe make it handpickable trash only (no puddles or lights). The "rare" events can override this, but they should be kept appropriately rare.

Maintained by others:

• Nukie shuttle, syndicate outpost and all other/future antag grids - nothing (opt out of the feature)
• Arrivals (spawn area, not on station), arrivals shuttle, evac shuttle, evac pods - nothing (opt-out of the feature)
• Trading station - nothing (opt-out of the feature).

The above seems reasonable to me and logical - whatever is not crew's responsibility to maintain starts in tip-top shape.

Also trash will gladly spawn in space

I think it makes sense if it's in space around grids. Space trash would "eventually" be attracted to nearest high-gravity objects. So this also could use some tweaking to not spawn in the middle-of-nowhere-space. Around grids is fine IMO.

BONUS: Add a rare random wreck grid that is a "ball of trash", simulating trash being attracted to each other via gravity and then attracting other trash due to being heavier and becoming a snowball of trash.

If you don't want a station to spawn with any variations added, you could add the component StationVariationHasRunComponent to the map prototype to suppress it. It's not it's intended use, has a misleading name if used like this, and would require touching some map yml files.

this shouldnt be happening anyway as these arent stations to my knowledge but ill look at it
