You are a sentient virus, extremely adaptable and resistant to mutations, which has somehow gotten established on this particular Nanotrasen brand space station.

==Becoming a Sentient Disease==
[[Random_events#Sentient Disease|There is a low chance that a random event will take place which will spawn a sentient disease on station.]] This sentient disease starts off by infecting only a single host, a "Patient Zero" if you will, and has to move quickly to infect as many people as possible. The disease then has to endure the rest of the shift (with the CMO and virologist probably hot on your ass,) in order to maximize its chances of getting a host to CentCom. There's no official notification for the spawning of a sentient disease, so the first few infections should be easy. (especially considering that your infection modifier is relatively stable.)

==Objectives==
All sentient diseases have the same two, non-varying objectives:

* Survive and infect as many people as possible.
* Ensure that at least one infected host escapes on the shuttle or an escape pod.

[[File:Diseasegreentext.png]]

==Plague Inc.==
[[File:Sentientvirusmenu.png|right|600px]]
[[File:Hudsprites.png|right]]
The Sentient Disease spawns with 0 evolution points, gaining more as it infects more hosts. A good portion of the [[Infections#Symptoms Table|symptoms listed here]] can be evolved, but not all of them. (imagine how terrifying a sentient disease with brain rot would be) One trait which differentiates a sentient disease from a normal, virology disease is that the sentient disease can evolve more than 6 symptoms. 
 The sentient disease has two unique abilities:
* [[File:Cough.png]] '''Cough:''' This ability forces the host that the virus is following to cough, transmitting the virus two tiles away from the host. Costs no evolution points, and is the only symptom you receive upon spawn. Your main source of transmission in the first few minutes of your existence. There is a 10 second cooldown before this ability can be used again.
* [[File:Sneeze.png]] '''Sneeze:''' This ability forces the host that the virus is following to sneeze, transmitting the virus four tiles away in a cone to the front of your host. Costs 3 evolution points, and is therefore relatively easy to unlock. 20 seconds cooldown between uses.

===Evolvable Symptoms===
{| class="wikitable" border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2"
! style='background-color:#9ACD32;' width='193px'|Symptom
! style='background-color:#9ACD32;' width='80px'|Cost
! style='background-color:#9ACD32;' width='760px'|Description
|-
!Voluntary Coughing
|0
|Force the host you are following to cough with extra force, spreading your infection to those within two meters of your host even if your transmitability is low. Cooldown: 10 seconds
|-
!Voluntary Sneezing
|3
|Force the host you are following to sneeze with extra force, spreading your infection to any victims in a 4 meter cone in front of your host. Cooldown: 20 seconds
|-
!Involuntary Coughing
|4
|Cause victims to cough intermittently, spreading your infection if your transmitability is high.
|-
!Involuntary Sneezing
|4
|Cause victims to sneeze intermittently, spreading your infection and also increasing transmitability and resistance, at the cost of stealth.
|-
!Beard Growth
|8
|Cause all victims to grow a luscious beard. Decreases stats slightly. Ineffective against Santa Claus.
|-
!Hallucinations
|8
|Cause victims to hallucinate. Decreases stats, especially resistance.
|-
!Choking
|8
|Cause victims to choke, threatening asphyxiation. Decreases stats, especially transmittability.
|-
!Confusion
|8
|Cause victims to become confused intermittently.
|-
!Eternal Youth
|8
|Cause victims to become eternally young. Provides boosts to all stats except transmittability.
|-
!Vomiting
|8
|Cause victims to vomit. Slightly increases transmittability. Vomiting also also causes the victims to lose nutrition and removes some toxin damage.
|-
!Voice Changing
|8
|Change the voice of victims, causing confusion in communications.
|-
!Vision Loss
|8
|Damage the eyes of victims, eventually causing blindness. Decreases all stats.
|-
!Self-Adaptation
|8
|Cause your infection to mimic the function of normal body cells, becoming much harder to spot and to eradicate, but reducing its speed.
|-
!Skin Paleness
|8
|Cause victims to become pale. Decreases all stats.
|-
!Sensory Restoration
|8
|Regenerate eye and ear damage of victims.
|-
!Itching
|8
|Cause victims to itch, increasing all stats except stealth.
|-
!Weight Loss
|8
|Cause victims to lose weight, and make it almost impossible for them to gain nutrition from food. Reduced nutrition allows your infection to spread more easily from hosts, especially by sneezing.
|-
!Itching
|8
|Cause victims to itch, increasing all stats except stealth.
|-
!Metabolic Boost
|16
|Increase the metabolism of victims, causing them to process chemicals twice as fast and grow hungry more quickly.
|-
!Regenerative Coma
|16
|Cause victims to fall into a healing coma when hurt.
|-
|}

====Statistics====
Each evolved symptom affects 4 stats; stealth, transmission, resistance, and stage speed, which all can change how your disease interacts. For more information, see [[Infections#Understanding stats|here]]. A list of how the various symptoms positively or negatively change these stats can be found in the [[Infections#Symptoms Table|symptoms table below.]]

==Oh Shit There's a Sentient Disease on Station==
* Step 1: Turn on internals
* Step 2: Make sure that the virologist/CMO is alive
* Step 3: Wait for him/her to do work and make vaccines

Of worth noting is that viruses can, and often will go become beneficial to the crew, but it almost always requires purchasing various negative symptoms to increase the transmissibility enough so you can actually evolve Regenerative Coma or Sensory Restoration/whatever. [[Guide_to_chemistry#Spaceallin|Spaceallin]] can also be useful if you are already infected by the disease.

Guide to robotics

2022-01-06T22:15:44Z

Ivniinvi: larry

Are you a [[Roboticist]]? This guide will explain the creation and maintenance of [[Cyborg]]s, bots, and stocky exosuits.
[[File:Robotics.png|thumb|400px|alt=Robotics|[[Robotics and Mech Bay]]]] 
==[[Exosuit Fabricator]]s==
These are the main machines used in [[Robotics]], with them you can create various exosuit and cyborg parts and their upgrade modules.
Remember to sync these with the R&D servers frequently for new equipment designs and increased production speeds.

If one (or more) of the Exosuit Fabricators gets stuck at updating from R&D servers, use a screwdriver on it and then crowbar that fucker!
Remove any metal/glass sheets and then put all the components back into the machine frame, use a screwdriver at the end to reassemble the Exosuit Fabricator.
====[[File:Generic_borg.png|64px]] [[Cyborg]]s====
Total Part Cost: 100000 [[File:Metal.png|Metal]]
{| style="background-color:#EEEEEE" width="300"
!Requires
|-
|1 x each Cyborg part (made with the [[Exosuit Fabricator]]) 
2 x [[File:Flash.gif|Flash]] ([[Exosuit Fabricator]]) 
1 x [[File:CableCoils.png|Cable Coil]] 
1 x [[File:Power_cell.png|Power Cell]] (preferably at least High-Capacity) 
1 x [[File:Brain.png|Brain]]→ [[File:MMI.png|MMI]] OR positronic brain OR B.O.R.I.S. module
|}

The [[Cyborg]] is the Roboticist's primary creation. They are tasked with helping the station's inhabitants in their daily life and trying to kill everyone when the [[AI]] is insane. Each cyborg is required to follow the AI's laws, and may choose one of the AIs in the event that more than one exists.

Assuming you already have the necessary components:
# [[File:Power_cell.png|Power Cell]] Insert a charged power cell into the cyborg's chest
# [[File:CableCoils.png|Cable Coil]] Insert a coil of wire into the cyborg's chest
# [[File:Flash.gif|Flash]] Insert two flashes in the cyborg's head (one for each eye socket)
# For final assembly, take each component and apply it to the cyborg endoskeleton
# [[File:Multitool.png|Multitool]] Multitools can be used to give cyborgs names. Simply apply the multitool before the brain is installed. Note that calling a borg 'PenisShitter 5000' will not net you any new friends, however, if your borg leaves the name up to you, be sure to name it 'PenisShitter 5000'. For some hilarity and general confusion, try giving the borg the same name as the AI.
# [[File:Brain.png|Brain]] Once it's complete, it's time for the brain. [[Surgery#Brain_Removal|See here how to remove your volunteer's brain.]] (If the brain has been removed from the head without surgery, you will need to pour [[Guide_to_chemistry#Mannitol|mannitol]] on it to fix it)
# [[File:MMI.png|MMI]] Now put the brain into your [[MMI]], and then the MMI into the cyborg suit. Congratulations, your cyborg is complete. Put the brainless corpse into a body bag and deliver it to the [[Morgue]] (or throw it down the disposals because ROBOTICS!). If when you insert the MMI into the cyborg it says "This MMI does not seem to fit." it means the user is job banned from cyborg.
# Instead of a brain, you can insert a positronic brain (controlled by a ghost) or B.O.R.I.S. module (controlled by the AI) into the cyborg as well.
==Cyborg Maintenance==
In the beginning of a maintenance process, you need to open the Cyborg's maintenance cover. To open it:
#[[File:Id_regular.png]] Use an ID Card, [[File:Emag.png]] [[Emag]] it or just ask the Cyborg to unlock its panel
#[[File:Crowbar.png]] Use a Crowbar to open the cover.
After the maintenance process use the same tools in reverse order so the Cyborg doesn't run around with its cover open, like so:
#[[File:Crowbar.png]] Use a Crowbar to close the cover.
#[[File:Id_regular.png]] Use your ID Card to lock the Cyborg. Borgs can't lock their panel.
===Cyborg Repairs===
Cyborgs will often come to you for repairs if damaged.

For brute damage:
# [[File:Welder.png]][[Welding Tool|Weld]] them to fix the dents.
For burn damage:
# Unlock and open the Cyborg's cover.
# [[File:Hud-hands.gif]] Use an Empty Hand to remove the battery.
# [[File:Screwdriver_tool.png]] Screwdriver to expose wiring.
# [[File:CableCoils.png|Cable Coil]] Rewire the damaged circuits. You may have to do this step more than once.
# [[File:Screwdriver_tool.png]] Screwdriver to hide wiring.
# Re-insert the old battery or insert a new one.
# Close the cover and lock the Cyborg.
Engineering cyborgs can repair dents on themselves and on their fellow cyborgs. They cannot repair burn damage though, since they cannot remove power cells to reach the wiring.
===Cyborg Batteries===
You will often see at least one Cyborg come to your assembly line to ask for an upgrade.
# Unlock and open the Cyborg's cover.
# [[File:Hud-hands.gif]] With an Empty Hand, remove the old battery.
# [[File:Power_cell.png]] Insert a New Battery.
# Close the cover and lock the Cyborg.
===Cyborg Radios===
Cyborgs can be installed with radio encryption keys, allowing them to communicate on secure department channels.
# Unlock and open the Cyborg's cover.
# [[File:Encryption_key.png]] Insert a New Encryption Key (or Screwdriver to remove the current Key).
# Close the cover and lock the Cyborg.
===Reviving Cyborgs===
A cyborg that has failed but not been turned into scrap can be repaired back to working order.
# Create an Emergency Restart Module at the Exosuit Fabricator (under Cyborg Upgrade Modules).
# Repair the Cyborg with a welder and/or replace wires.
# Unlock and open the Cyborg's cover.
# [[File:Circuitboard.png]] Insert the Emergency Restart Module.
# Close the cover and lock the Cyborg.
===Upgrading Cyborgs===
# Unlock and open the Cyborg's cover.
# [[File:Circuitboard.png]] Insert the Upgrade Module (or emag to subvert).
# Close the cover and lock the Cyborg.
===Resetting Cyborg models===
For info on how to reset a cyborg's model, check out the [[Hacking#Cyborgs|Guide to Hacking]].
===Deconstructing Cyborgs===
Cyborgs can be deconstructed to remove their MMI and get their parts back.
# Unlock and open the Cyborg's cover.
# [[File:Hud-hands.gif]] Use an Empty Hand to remove battery.
# [[File:Screwdriver_tool.png]] Screwdriver to open wiring.
# [[File:Wirecutters.png]] Cut every wire until the '''lockdown''' light turns on.
# [[File:Wrench.png]] Wrench to disassemble.
(Alternatively, for steps 4 and 5, you can use a Robotics console)
==== Upgrades ====
[[Roboticist]]s can construct upgrade modules for cyborgs, such as one that increases your movement speed. Should you wish to change models, ask the roboticist to cut and mend your reset wire.

|}
Mining Cyborgs can also have their KA upgraded with kinetic accelerator upgrades.
==IPC Maintenance==
You don't only deal with fixing Cyborgs as a roboticist. You also have to fix up any dead/damaged IPCs. Chances are some random [[Paramedic]] dragged them all to Medbay, so yell at them that they can't do anything with IPCs. If necessary, you may want to visit the [[Head of Personnel|HoP]] for some Medbay access.
===Standard Repair===
To fix an IPC you need:
* A welder - for brute damage
* Some cable coils - for burn damage
If you have the required tools which are mentioned above (remember to turn on your welder before you use it, as well as use eyewear such as welding goggles), simply use them on every damaged body part until they are fixed.
A dead IPC should reboot itself when their damage is fixed, just keep applying the welder or cable coil until it says that part is in good condition then move onto the next limb on their body (so please don't try to defibrillate or anything, be patient).
===Organ Replacement===
On the event that an IPC suffers irgan damage or loses an organ, you may have to replace it, IPC organs can be printed in the IPC components section of your fabricator once IPC parts have been researched, IPCs share their surgery steps with those of Augmented limbs

==Surgery==
To initiate most surgeries, first place [[File:Drapes.png|Drapes]]'''drapes''' over the part of the body you are operating on.

|-
|}
Despite what some old-timer Roboticists may tell you, DO NOT JUST TAKE THE BONESAW AND CUT THEIR HEAD OFF WITHOUT SURGERY. Removing a brain without surgery will damage it and may result in the immediate death of the brain.

In case this happens, you will need to ask the [[Chemist]] to make some [[Mannitol]] to fix it. Once you have a beaker of it, just splash it on the brain and it should be good to go. You can always examine the brain to see if it is still damaged.

If a head is not attached to a body, you can simply use a [[File:Scalpel.png|Scalpel]]scalpel or some other slicing/cutting item on it to cut the brain out. No need for drapes or table.
=== Limb Augmentation ===
Replace a limb with a robot part. The head, torso, arms, and legs can all be augmented. Augmenting torso makes you immune to appendicitis and xeno larva. Robot limbs are tougher. They need welding to "heal" brute damage and wires for burn damage, and cannot be otherwise healed. EMP pulses will hurt augmented humans.

==Bots==
As a Roboticist, you serve another important purpose: making robots. Robots can benefit the station in many ways, and are really damned easy to create. The current list of robots, and how to make them, is as follows:

'''Remember:''' All bots can be made through the crafting menu (T-like hammer hud-icon). This can save a lot of time during construction, especially if Robotics is busy!
====[[File:Medibot.gif|64px]] Medibot====
Performs a baby version of [[Surgery#Tend_Wounds|tend wounds]], except it can heal all 4 basic damage types. The surgery works through clothes and without the patient having to lie down. Amount healed scales with [[Surgery#Tend_Wounds|tend wounds surgeries]] researched. Each researched upgrade of [[Surgery#Tend_Wounds|tend wounds]] increases health healed by 50%. Requires a "refresh" similarly to operating computers to benefit from research. Medibots heal more of a specific damage if the medkit used to make them was oriented around that damage (a tox medkit medibot will heal toxin better). 
When [[Syndicate Items#Cryptographic Sequencer|emagged]] it will inject 5u [[Guide_to_chemistry#Chloral_Hydrate|chloral hydrate]] and damage you based on what they would have healed (brute if you don't need treatment) per step.

====[[File:Cleanbot.gif|64px]] Cleanbot====
Cleanbots are great, as they serve the exact same purpose as the Janitor. What makes it even better is that it uses Space Cleaner to mop, so no slipping on everything! When Emagged (or hacked) it will spew slippery foam and melt people with acid.

Basically, Officer Beepsky without the personality. You usually won't need to build any of these, but they can be hilariously helpful for traitors who have invested in a [[Syndicate Items#Cryptographic Sequencer|Cryptographic Sequencer]], as they tend to run around stunning and cuffing everyone in sight.

Note: Destroying a Securitron or Officer Beepsky with a melee weapon is all but impossible by yourself; striking them causes them to immediately stun and cuff you. If you work with another person you can get several hits in while it is cuffing the other person, which is often enough to destroy it outright.
====[[File:GeneralBeepsky.png|FOOLISH JEDI|64px]] General Beepsky====
This is General Beepsky (or General Grieffous, your pick). A terrifying 4 esword wielding nightmare-bot created by a mad roboticist with the help of some leftover eswords, this thing is a [[Traitor|traitor's]] worst nightmare. It takes down criminals by delivering deadly spin attacks, instantly downing a target with its rapidly rotating eswords. It gets even worse when a [[Syndicate Items#Cryptographic Sequencer|Cryptographic Sequencer]] gets involved, as General Beepskey will begin to mercilessly track, kill, maim and subsequently disembowel any target it comes across.

Unlike normal Securitrons, General Beepsky can deflect projectiles with its eswords. Its only true weakness is an EMP.

Has a toy sword version.

====[[File:Generic drone.png|64px]] [[Drone|Drone]]====
'''Note that Drones are currently admin spawn only, outside of the three derelict drones.'''

A disposable little drone that runs around and repairs things. Controlled by players, and can't interact with any other beings at all (besides other drones). Usually good to make lots of these to let ghosts get back into the round.

That's it! Any ghost can click on the drone shell to take control of it and start repairing the station.
==Exosuits==
These can be tremendously helpful or tremendously annoying depending on who uses it. They take more work to make than robots and require special circuits, which are obtained through the [[Quartermaster]] or the Research and Development console.

With all Exosuits, [[MMI]]s can be installed as drivers. But remember, MMIs are not bound to the AI or its laws, so don't put any [[Traitor|deranged]] [[Clown|maniacs]] inside them. Remember to grant MMI controlled mechs access keys, because they don't have a keycard on them!

'''Integrity:''' 200

'''Description:''' The Ripley APLU (Autonomous Power Loading Unit) is a fast moving exosuit with no atmospheric protection. Don't expect the wire screen to do much against ranged weapons. Useful for carrying boxes and as a lightweight platform for various exosuit tools.

While it lacks the Firefigher's lavaproofing and improved armor, the Ripley APLU can still go toe to toe with Lavaland mobs thanks to its good melee protection.

<nowiki>*</nowiki>The exosuit itself can withstand decently high temperatures without taking damage. It does not, however, offer protection to the pilot from fire or temperature hazards.

=====Durand Shield=====
The shield can be enabled and disabled with a hud button. It drains energy very fast, and drains even more energy when blocking attacks. This is what the Durand shield looks like. The red area is not visible in-game, but shows which directions the shield will block attacks from.

==Exosuit operation and maintenance==
To climb into an exosuit, just drag and drop your character onto it.
====Exosuit beacons====
Adding a tracking beacon (exofab "Misc" category) to a mech allows the RD's exosuit control console to track the mech, view detailed stats, message the pilot and even EMP it when neccessary. The EMP is reusable after a cooldown of 10 seconds.

Research can also unlock an AI control beacon that lets the AI - you guessed it - control the exosuit.
====EMP====
When an exosuit is hit by an EMP-effect it will take burn damage, lose some battery charge and have all its equipment disabled for 3 seconds.
====Locking/unlocking Exosuits====
There are two ways to lock exosuit: A) ID ("keycode") lock or B) DNA lock.

A) '''ID lock (keycode)''':

Adding a keycode to a mech will grant it access to that area, but will also prevent anyone without that access from entering the mech.

For example: A mech with "bridge" and "robotics" keycodes has access to both areas, but requires an ID card with at least bridge and robotics access to enter.
* Enter the exosuit and unlock the ID upload panel.
* Exit the exosuit.
* Use an ID card/PDA on exosuit and select "Edit operation keycodes".
B) '''DNA lock''':

DNA locking only allows the person matching the recorded Unique Enzymes (UE) to enter the mech.

This can be abused by Changelings and crafty Geneticists! Another downside is that you will be locked out if you swap bodies.
* Enter the exosuit and open the stats menu.
* Unter Permissions&Logging, click "DNA-lock".
* To remove the lock, hit "[ Reset ]" next to your DNA string under "DNA-locked:".
====Exosuit Damage and Repairs====
For external damage to the exosuit, simply use a welder on it. When a mech takes damage while its integrity is below a certain threshold, it has a chance to break internally. The reports for internal damage can be seen in the stats window.

'''Internal Fire:''' An internal fire will heat the air in the cabin and in the air tank, potentially causing a breach. It has a chance to fix itself if the life support system is functional.

'''Life Support System Malfunction:''' A malfunction in the life support system will prevent the mech from regulating the temperature brought into the cabin from the internal air tank. It can be fixed by using a screwdriver on it or with a repair droid.

'''Gas Tank Breach:''' A gas tank breach will cause the contents of the internal tank to be leaked into the environment. It can be fixed by using a welder on the mech if it also has external damage or with a repair droid.

'''Coordination System Calibration Failure:''' A failure in the coordination system will cause the mech to move randomly and can cause the mech to miss its targets. <s>It can be fixed by clicking "Recalibrate" in the damage report.</s>Due to a big it cannot be fixed

'''Short Circuit:''' A short circuit failure will cause the installed power cell to lose charge and damages it so that its maximum charge decreases. It also prevents repair droids and tesla relays from working. It can be repaired by using wires on the mech while its power unit hatch is open (see battery replacement steps).
====Exosuit Battery, Capacitor and Scanning Module Replacement====
{{Anchor|Exosuit Battery Replacement}}
# Make sure maintenance protocols are permitted (Permissions&Logging inside the mech).
# [[File:Id_regular.png]] Hit the exosuit with your ID card or PDA with ID inside and select "Initiate maintenance protocol".
# [[File:Wrench.png|Wrench]] Wrench

==Exosuit Equipment==
Various tools and weapons can be attached to exosuits, providng them with ability to perform different tasks. Exosuit equipment is built by Exosuit Fabricator ("Exosuit Equipment" menu).

To attach a tool or weapon, simply click with it on the exosuit.

Ivniinvi: Fixes chem for polyvitiligo

{{Needs revision | reason = With the rework and addition of extrapolators, entries relating to symptom acquisition or virology chemicals are outdated}}
There are many diseases that can affect you in space! The following will come in handy for [[virologist]]s, [[traitor]]s, or any unfortunate soul who's come down with a case of brain rot.
==[[virologist|Virology]] 101==
[[File:Virology.png|500px|thumb|alt=Virology|link=http://puu.sh/3EFaf.png|[[Virology]] is sealed from the rest of the station. You are not on the disposals network, nor do you share the same atmos system]]
The first, most important way to prevent 99% of infections is proper hazard wear and knowing how to keep the infection from spreading.
===The Clothes===
The following will protect you from the dangerous infections of space, each giving more and more (till total) protection against infection:
* Level-3 [[Bio Hood]]
* Level-3 [[Bio Suit]]
* Jumpsuit (virologist, CMO, geneticist, chemist, doctor, nurse suit, scrubs, Research Director)
* [[Latex Gloves]]
* Sterile mask
* [[Shoes]] (White shoes and [[Galoshes]] are the best)
* Private (clean) [[Internals]]
===Isolation===
If you or another crew member is infected, do not spread the infection further. Seek the isolation bay of the medical wing, or head to a room no one will enter but yourself and other infected.
===Sterilization===
Cleaning blood spills from the ground will prevent contact contamination. Make sure blood is cleaned from the floor at all times; any blood splatter out there could hold a dreaded space infection. Contact a [[janitor]] if you see blood on the floor, do not interact with the blood if you suspect possible infection chance. Any object or floor that has infected blood on it can infect anyone who handles or touches it.
===Methods of Infection===
The following are the various ways a disease can spread, keep this in mind at all times:
* Airborne - The most dangerous and quick spreading, if you are anywhere within the breathing area of the infected crew member, you have a chance to be infected.
* Direct Contact - Requires you to touch, been touched, or be extremely close to the source of the infection. The infection will be spread by the skin and bodily fluids of an infected person, but will not survive long in the air.
* Blood - The infection will be spread by the bodily fluids of the infected person.
* Special - The disease is not normally contagious and the affected crewman has been infected by a non-human vector source. You can work with the infected without risk yourself unless they expose you to the same vector source that infected them.
===Curing an infection===
Every infection is vulnerable to one substance (or combination of two). To find it, you can put an infected blood sample in the PanD.E.M.I.C 2200 machine or use a health analyzer on an infected patient. Administering the substance to the patient (may require multiple injections) should cure him. Alternatively, if you have produced a vaccine, a simple injection should cure the patient.
===[[File:Pandm.gif|64px]]PanD.E.M.I.C 2200===
This machine creates vaccines from the blood of people who have been cured.

Use:
# Take a blood sample with a syringe.
# Place sample into a beaker or bottle.
# Load beaker into machine.
# Select vaccine you wish to have.
# Take vaccine bottle it produces.
Additional uses:
* Reveals the cure to any infected blood sample without needing to inject a living creature.
* Shows the stats and symptoms of a virus
===Viral Extrapolator===
The viral extrapolator is a bulky, slow device, used to scan and extract diseases on the go. It has two modes, which can be toggled by using it in-hand

Scan [[File:Explorator_scan.gif|16px]] tells you what diseases are held within the target, if any, what symptoms they have, and what stage they are at.

Extract [[File:Explorator_sample.gif|16px]] can be used to harvest an advance disease from the target. If used on a culture bottle, it can be used to isolate a single symptom. The extrapolator takes twenty seconds to extract a disease, and one minute to isolate a symptom. There is a two minute cooldown before the extrapolator can be reused. It cannot isolate symptoms of a level higher than seven.

Upgrading the extrapolator:

By using a screwdriver on the extrapolator, you can remove its scanning module. Replacing it with a higher tier scanning module significantly lowers its cooldown and use times, as well as allowing isolation of higher level symptoms.

Symptom hunting:
Some objects can contain trace samples of the disease that the extrapolator can make into a culture. Many of these start with random diseases at roundstart, and can be harvested. This is the primary source of level nine symptoms. These items are as follows:
* Bloodstains. Only dried blood or old gibs will spawn with diseases.
* Vomit. Only crusty, dried vomit will spawn with diseases.
* Syringes. Only used syringes, found in maint, will spawn with diseases
* Mice and rats.
* Any item a sentient disease has used Secrete Infection on
* The glands of Wumborian Fugu always have a disease containing Pituitary Disruption
* Vector, the virologist's pet hamster, always has an extractable disease.
* Blob Spores created by the Blob Spores symptom always have the disease that spawned them
* Macrophages always contain the disease that spawned them.
==Infection Listings==
Thankfully, humanity has managed to cure and eliminate almost all of the diseases that plagued its infancy. However, the vast reaches of space have been found to harbor new illnesses that can affect the unprepared staff on Nanotrasen research stations. The following diseases are Simple Diseases that cannot be affected by the PanD.E.M.I.C 2200 or a Viral Extrapolator, and have no stats or symptoms.

=Advanced Diseases=
You are able to create your own advance disease with different symptoms, which will have buffs, debuffs and bonuses!

You will start out with two advance diseases, the cold and the flu. The cold will have the sneeze symptom and the flu will have the cough symptom.
They have almost no effect if they infect people, but you need them to acquire more symptoms.

The Pandemic can create culture bottles (basically copies) of existing viruses, so you won't run out while experimenting.
==Multiple Diseases==
A person has three slots for advanced diseases, with a fourth slot for sentient diseases. The slot a disease fits into is determined by Severity.
If a disease tries to occupy an already occupied slot, and its transmission is higher than the resistance of the disease already in the slot, it will drive the disease out and take its place
==Modifying Symptoms==
To obtain a new symptom you need to mutate an existing virus. This involves adding a chemical to the virus, which will generate a new symptom. Rarer and harder to acquire chemicals will yield more potent symptoms. You will start with enough chemicals to create a powerful disease, as long as you use them carefully. You can also insert an isolated symptom into your main virus, by moving 1 unit of the isolated culture to the main mix with a dropper. It will not work every time and may need to be repeated a few times.
====Basic chemicals====
These are the basic chemicals for virus mutation. These can be added to a culture to gain a symptom from a large pool- but it's about half as efficient as mixing [[Guide_to_chemistry#Virology_Recipes|advanced chemicals]].
* '''[[Virus Food]]''': You can make virus food with Water and Milk. Virology lab has its own Virus Food Dispenser. Mixing this with a disease will give that disease a symptom of level 1 to 2. Pure virus food is the only way to get level 2 symptoms, so, unlike plasma and mutagen, it is useful alone.
* '''[[Unstable Mutagen]]''': You can use mutagen to mutate your disease and give it a symptom of level 2 to 4. Virology starts with a 30u bottle of mutagen.
* '''[[Plasma|Liquid Plasma]]''': Plasma can be used to mutate your disease to give it a symptom of level 4 to 6. Plasma in liquid form is generally in very limited supply, unless mining and chemistry cooperates with you. Virology starts with a 30u bottle of liquid plasma, and in some station layouts with extra plasma bars.
====[[Guide_to_chemistry#Virology_Recipes|Advanced Chemicals]]====
Using these will allow you to both save time and resources when trying to acquire the symptoms you want.
* '''[[Guide_to_chemistry#Anomalous Virus Food|Anomalous Virus Food]]''': Anomalous Virus Food can be used to mutate your disease and give it a level 0 symptom. It is made by combining pure Laughter with virus food. Level 0 symptoms tend to be statistically similar to other symptoms, but have an unusual effect- good for gimmicks!
* '''[[Guide_to_chemistry#Virus Rations|Virus rations]]''': Virus rations can be used to mutate your disease and give it a level 1 symptom. It is made by depleting Virus food with Synaptizine. Level 1 symptoms almost universally boost stats, but have very little effect. Level 2 symptoms tend to be a bit better, so it's wise to leave virus food as-is.
* '''[[Guide_to_chemistry#Mutagenic Agar|Mutagenic Agar]]''': Mutagenic agar can be used to mutate your disease to give it a level 3 symptom. It is made by mixing Unstable mutagen and virus food together. Level three symptoms tend to be either decent stat-boosters, or subpar active symptoms.
* '''[[Guide_to_chemistry#Sucrose Agar|Sucrose Agar]]''': Sucrose agar can be used to mutate your disease to give it a level 4 symptom. It is made by mixing Sugar or Saline Glucose Solution and Mutagenic agar together. Level four symptoms are quite weak, so there is very little point to mixing this.
* '''[[Guide_to_chemistry#Weakened Virus Plasma|Weakened Virus Plasma]]''': Weakened virus plasma can be used to mutate your disease and give it a level 5 symptom. It is made by weakening virus plasma using Synaptizine. Level 5 symptoms tend to be some of the strongest stat symptoms
* '''[[Guide_to_chemistry#Virus Plasma|Virus Plasma]]''': Virus plasma can be used to mutate your disease and give it a level 6 symptom. It is made by mixing liquid plasma with virus food. Level 6 symptoms are the strongest active symptoms available without uranium or Highly Unstable Virus Food
* '''[[Guide_to_chemistry#Highly Unstable Virus Food|Advanced Virus Food]]''': Highly Unstable Virus Food can be used to mutate your disease and give it a level 9 symptom. You only get one unit, which is inert until a single uranium sheet's worth of uranium is added, but every single level nine symptom is powerful in its own way. The symptom you get will likely define the disease you make on any given round. <big><big>Highly unstable virus food was removed, and replaced with the viral extrapolator.</big></big>
====Uranium Gels====
These chemicals require large quantities of liquid uranium (obtained by grinding uranium bars). You'll require the help of mining to make these.
* '''[[Guide_to_chemistry#Decaying Uranium Gel|Decaying Uranium Gel]]''': Decaying Uranium Gel can be used to mutate your disease and give it a level 6 or 7 symptom. It is made by combining 1 virus food with 1 liquid Uranium. Efficient compared to Unstable gel, but slower to use.
* '''[[Guide_to_chemistry#Unstable Uranium Gel|Unstable Uranium Gel]]''': Unstable Uranium Gel can be used to mutate your disease and give it a level 7 symptom. It is made by combining 1 virus plasma with 5 liquid Uranium. Level 7 symptoms contain potent stat symptoms, and several esoteric symptoms.
* '''[[Guide_to_chemistry#Stable Uranium Gel|Stable Uranium Gel]]''': Stable Uranium Gel can be used to mutate your disease and give it a level 8 symptom. It is made by combining 1 plasma with 10 parts liquid Uranium and 10 parts liquid silver or gold. Level 8 symptoms contain some of the most potent healing symptoms, as well as some very difficult to deal with deadly symptoms.
====[[Guide_to_chemistry#Synaptizine|Synaptizine]]====
Synaptizine, aside from being a base chemical, will remove one random symptom to any virus it comes in contact with. It's important if you intend to isolate a specific symptom. For example, if you mutate your Cold virus and it acquires the Toxic Filter symptom, you can try and add synaptizine to it to create a virus which only has the Toxic Filter symptom.
====[[Guide_to_chemistry#Spaceacillin|Spaceacillin]]====
Spaceacillin will "Falter" a disease, making it unable to spread by any method but injection. Good for meme diseases, or if you wanna meet a transmission threshold without fucking everyone over
====[[Guide_to_chemistry#Cryostylane|Cryostylane]]====
Cryostylane will Preserve a disease, making it unable to be mutated any further. If you finish a disease, you should Preserve it so it can't be edited, and so multiple diseases of different severity can be loaded into one bottle

====[[Guide_to_chemistry#Formaldehyde|Formaldehyde]]====
Formaldehyde will neuter one random symptom when mixed with a virus. This disables its effects while keeping the attributes intact. This is useful for meeting threshold values without making the virus deadly. '''NEUTER YOUR STAT SYMPTOMS, ALWAYS. UNLESS IT'S SOMETHING WITH AN EFFECT YOU ACTIVELY USE, ALL AN UNNEUTERED STAT SYMPTOM WILL DO, EVEN IF THE DISEASE IS INTENTIONALLY DEADLY, IS MAKE THE DISEASE GET NOTICED FASTER, AND, SCARE PEOPLE IF YOUR DISEASE IS GOOD, PROBABLY GETTING YOU LYNCHED. NEUTER YOUR FUCKING SYMPTOMS. YES, FEVER AND ITCHING CAN DO SLIGHT DAMAGE. NEUTER THEM ANYWAYS, DAMMIT'''
==BABBY'S FIRST VIRUS==

|name=Eyre I, the Virologist
|text=Psst, hey kid. Over here. Look at you, still fresh off the arrivals shuttle. Take the biosuit off, it'll only slow you down. Listen up- I'm here to teach ya exactly how to get robust at Virology, provided you can wrap your head around some simple concepts. I've hijacked this outdated nanotrasen standard-issue virology guide to teach YOU how to be a better Virologist than those Nanotrasen quacks!
|image=[[File:Viro action.png|64px|right]]
}}
Alright, since most people can't seem to grasp it: Virology is fucking SLOW! So this means you're gonna want to do a few things to make it faster!

1. Know what virus you want to make! I cannot fucking stress this enough. Random symptom isolation will never get you anywhere fast. Make a recipe for what you want, and then go aquire the symptoms
===Virology with extrapolator:===
2. Grab the spare extrapolator from the biohazard closet. You'll need extra to save time. Whenever you stop in medical, check the medical protolathe to see if you can upgrade the extrapolator with a new scanning module. Use a screwdriver to remove the old one, and shove the new one in. This lowers cooldown, massively speeds up the extrapolator's speed, and allows you to isolate higher-level symptoms

3. get a medical belt for your extrapolators. Consider grabbing a bio-bag for cultures. If CMO is nice, ask for the budget card- getting the budget allows you to skip maint-crawling entirely

4. Use the extrapolator to scan dried blood, old rotting gibs, crusty old vomit, used syringes, rats, etc, for viruses. if you see any symptom that fits the recipe, grab the culture! ALTERNATIVELY, with the budget, go to cargo and buy as many VIRUS SAMPLE CRATES (not Virus Crates) as you can. All the cultures will fit in the bio bag, and it can save cargo crate-dragging time if you go into the shuttle and pack them into the bag yourself. If you lack a budget, offer to do the viro bounty for virus crates- it's usually worth 4-8k, enough for 2-4 crates. If you want level 0 symptoms, find a source of banana juice

5. Once you have all the level 9s (and hopefully 8s and 7s to save time) you need, go back to viro. Make sure you have a level 3 scanning module at minimum. If you're missing any level 0-8 symptoms, get the virus chem for that level

6. Extrapolators make gaining a symptom easier. Lay a base culture out, any culture, and add 1u of the base culture. Add 4u of the desired chem, one drop at a time, and check if it has the symptom. If not, empty until it does. When it has the symptom, isolate it with the extrapolator. This is faster than 1u at a time (this being due to the fact that you're lowering the symptom pool by the amount of symptoms already in the culture, raising your chance).

7. Take your extrapolators, and begin using both in tandem (avoiding cooldowns) to extract every other symptom you need from your collection of culture bottles

8. Once you have every symptom you need, begin putting them in an empty beaker, neutering symptoms from their base culture when applicable. After reaching 4 symptoms, make a culture every time you try to add a new symptom, due to how symptoms may delete other symptoms at high symptom count. Add it one-at-a-time to the main culture, and always drip the single symptom into the main culture, not the other way, as this minimizes the chance of symptom deletion (the check is called per-symptom on the culture being added, so adding only a single symptom only checks it once)

9. After it's done, label it, make a backup culture, and Falter or Preserve it as necessary. Preserving a virus allows multiple to be placed in one culture bottle!
===Virology without extrapolator:===
2. You'll need five beakers when you get started making your virus:
*Fill the first beaker to the brim with virus food and put it on the table. This is for level one and two symptoms.
*Fill the second beaker with thirty units of virus food, and dump your entire mutagen bottle in. This is for level three symptoms.
*There is no beaker for level four symptoms. Four is an unlucky number or some shit, and, more importantly, all level four symptoms suck
*Fill the third beaker with ten units virus food, ten units Plasma, and then ten units of Synaptazine. This is for level five symptoms. '''THE ORDER IS IMPORTANT. PUT SYNAPTAZINE IN BEFORE PLASMA AND YOU'LL GET A BEAKER OF VIRUS RATIONS AND PLASMA, WASTING YOUR CHEMS. DONT DO IT.'''
*Fill the fourth beaker with ten units virus food and ten units of Plasma. This is for level six symptoms
*If you have the clown's can of laughter, you can fill a fifth beaker with ten units of virus food and the entire can of laughter for level zero symptoms
3. Lay out your Formaldehyde, Synaptazine, and Unstable Virus Food.

4. Finally, set an empty beaker out, and either Rhinovirus or the Cold. The Cold's symptom is Coughing, and Rhinovirus is Sneezing. I am a plasmaman, so all my diseases need high transmission- I prefer to set out rhinovirus.

5. Whichever symptom you choose to start with, drop a drop of formaldehyde in immediately! this neuters the symptom so your plague doesnt alert and scare people, which is bad regardless of your antag status. '''Remember to use your dropper, after setting it to one unit!'''

6. After you lay out your beakers on the table near the pandemic, situate yourself on a tile adjacent to the tables containing the reagents and your PANDEMIC machine. You will never have to move during this procedure- which saves valuable time.

7. With your recipe in mind, begin placing one unit of your starting symptom culture and one unit of the virus chem corresponding to your disease into the '''empty beaker'''. Do NOT place your virus chem into your culture, or your culture into your chem- it will set you back by an insane amount!. After you make ONE reaction, place the empty beaker in the pandemic-You never need to pick any beakers but this empty beaker up during the process- and check the symptoms. If you got what you wanted, create a culture, save your previous culture if it's the starter, you will need it later, or get rid of it if it's a random step in the process, and repeat with the chem for the next symptom, doing symptoms you will neuter first and neutering them as you get them. Repeat until you reach a total of four symptoms. '''To reiterate step five, ALWAYS use a one unit dropper! it makes you far more efficient with chem usage- if you use a dropper, your starting chems will usually last an entire round!'''

8. Upon reaching four symptoms, a virus has a chance to lose symptoms on gaining new ones. To avoid this, make a culture of your four symptoms, name it, and put it aside. Take your starter culture out, and begin the step 7 process. Once you get the fifth symptom, use the step seven process with synaptazine to remove the starter symptom, and finally repeat the step seven process one last time to get the last symptom. By now, you should have two cultures- one with four symptoms, and one with two (or one, five symptom diseases exist)

9. Finally, repeat the step seven process one more time, but using the two cultures, instead of a chem and a culture. There is no reaction sound for this mixing! Once you reach the desired number of symptoms (yes, adding symptoms via mixing can delete symptoms just like adding them via chems does), name the virus, and make a culture! you're done! yay! Consider Faltering your disease with Spaceacillin if you don't want it to spread, and/or Preserving it with Cryoxadone.

==Understanding stats==
After you're done mixing your disease, stats from the symptoms are added together to make disease stats. Viruses have a default of 0 in every stat.
* '''Stealth:''' If stealth is 2 or higher your disease will be hidden from medHUD and scanners. Generally it will also hide the warning signs of symptoms before they activate.
* '''Transmission:''' Improves the chance each tick to spread the virus, increases the amount of protection you need to prevent infection, determines the infection vector, and is needed to override other viruses.
** The infection vector is calculated with (disease's transmission - amount of symptoms). 2 or less is blood, 3 is fluid contact, 4 is skin contact, 5 is airbone. The Sneezing symptom forces sporadic airborne spreads, but does not otherwise affect this.
** When infecting someone who already has a virus, if the infecting virus' Transmission is higher than the other virus' Resistance, the latter will be overridden by the former.
* '''Stage speed:''' Increases the chance of advancing a stage each tick. It will be 2% or stage speed, whichever is higher.
* '''Resistance:''' Makes the virus harder to cure; determines the required chemical to cure, decreases the chance of it being cured each tick when in contact with the cure, and defines how resistant the virus is to being overridden by other viruses. Sentient diseases have a fixed cure, and don't rely on resistance to determine their cure.
** The chance of it being cured every tick is 15 - resistance, but always between 10 and 20.
** The cure is determined by [resistance - (amount of symptoms / 2)].

* '''Severity:''' Severity determines how virus shows up on a medhud, and which slot a disease occupies. Severity adds up in a manner different to other stats- A severity score below 0, or equal to or above five will be added normally. A severity of 1 or 2 will be added to a maximum of 3. A severity of 3 or 4 will be added to a maximum of 4. Severity also determines which of a person's three disease slots a disease occupies, unless the disease is sentient.

===General Tips===
* You can get plasma and uranium from the medical autolathe if mining has picked it up. No need to waste time going to the ORM.
* The clown will typically be happy to give you his canned laughter for Anomalous Virus Food. if not, a single ground-up banana cream pie mixed with sugar is sufficient for as much laughter as the can usually has
* Never make sucrine agar unless you absolutely need a level four symptom for some ungodly reason
* If you wear the biosuit, you're an idiot. The only time you need to wear that is when working with patients or monkeys, and it slows you down. If you release a disease as a traitor, you should have immunized yourself beforehand- a biosuit sticks out like a sore thumb
*'''ALWAYS make your diseases beforehand. Have a recipe ready to work with any given symptom. This is the MOST IMPORTANT part of being good at virology.'''
* Never use pure mutagen or pure plasma. Always make virus chems, it doubles your efficiency.
*If you want to kill a single person, single target viruses using Viral Aggressive Metabolism can be just as effective as a deathchem. If you're an antagonist, and want to be sporting, try poisoning your victim with a powerful zombie virus. In my experience, people love when you do this.
*While spreading a low-effect beneficial disease may be tempting, designing a combo of multiple diseases (Called a "Trifecta") at varying severity levels, is usually the best way to go. A good trifecta usually has multiple level 9 symptoms, and can take most of a round to create- but it's worth it.
*For stealth: 2 stealth is the only time it matters outside of thresholds. The only time stealth is used outside of this is for extrapolators.
*White shoes protect from infection sources on the ground, such as bloodstains, vomit, and Exolocomotive Xenomitosis mass
*If you want a virus to be spread exclusively via Exolocomotive Xenomitosis or Macrophage, falter the virus containing that symptom. It won't spread via transmission, but will still spread via infected floor or macrophages. Note that when these viruses meet their threshold that spreads all host viruses, they won't spread faltered versions.
===<span title="Neutered Fever, Neutered Sneezing, Inorganic Biology, Viral Evolutionary Acceleration, Revitiligo, Necrotizing Fasciitis. That was my first truly engineered death plague, and it's a pun to boot! it sucks ass, though.">The Black Death===
Being a traitor virologist allows you to finally come out of your shell and release those negative recipes you've been aching to test, and put those level nine symptoms to the true test!
* Sabotaging the Pandemic is usually a good idea, as it can create a vaccine for a cured virus which is cheap and easy to distribute, even if the virus is extremely resistant.
* Sabotaging the holodeck computer is also a good idea because its Emergency Medical simulation also contains a Pandemic.
* Sabotaging chemistry can stop them from making most of the chems that can cure viruses.
* A dropper works as a 1-5 unit hypospray when used on a target not wearing any eye protection.
* An infected monkey in medbay is another easy way to spread a disease
* Immunize yourself before releasing your death plague!

The Roboticist's job is to maintain the system's cybernetic sevitors, including borgs and various bots that they can create. When provided with resources, they can construct powerful Exosuits.[[File:Robotics.png|300px|thumb|alt=Robotics|[[Robotics and Mech Bay]]]] 
'''Bare minimum requirements:''' Build and maintain cyborgs.
==The Lab==
[[Robotics and Mech Bay|Robotics]] is your home as a Roboticist. It contains [[Exosuit Fabricator]]s, used for the creation of any robotic component you require, a few cyborg recharging stations, a few Exosuit recharging stations, a chest with multiple sheets of [[metal]], [[power cells|Power Cell]], and a [[coil of wire]], and scattered tables with a [[multitool]], tool boxes, a few [[Flash|Flashes]], a [[crowbar]], a [[proximity sensor]], more scattered power cells, and a [[cell charger]].
==Your Job==
First on the agenda is to fulfill any early requests to turn people into Cyborgs. Fill the [[Exosuit Fabricator]]s with metal and get them churning out some cyborg bits. Place flashes in the cyborg head, and cables and a power cell in the torso, then add all the pieces onto the Exoskeleton.

There will likely be one or two people waiting around for you, so either let them in via the service window or go actually open your door for them. Oblige them. After all, this is what you are here to do. Take out their brains via [[surgery]], and put the brains in MMIs. Then, stuff the brainless corpses <s>down disposals</s> in the Morgue. Finally, insert the MMIs into the cyborg shells. You now have cyborgs!
==Life on the Assembly Line==
Try to keep at least 1 complete cyborg body on standby for the inevitable train of corpses that will be coming through your door. In the downtime, feel free to devote your precious metal and time to building [[Guide to robotics#Bots|robots]] or [[Guide to robotics#Exosuits|exosuits]]. If Mining all died off or R&D is uncooperative, keep busy by stealing a bucket from Hydroponics (Or the Cargo Autolathe) and creating Cleanbots, or using up all your Medkits for more Medibots.

Sync your Exosuit Fabricators for extra miscellaneous parts and cyborg upgrades, and get building. Mechs require Metals which can be obtained from the [[Miner|Miners]], and mining should obtain the metals you need. You will have a love-hate relationship with the R&D lab and its residents; on the one hand they are required for you to obtain mech circuits and equipment, but on the other they are taking all that wonderful silver from you that could be going to making a [[Guide_to_robotics#Durand|Durand]]. Once you do get enough ores though, it's smooth sailing.
==Other tips==
Keep your metal organized, and understand how much each machine will take (and you will always need more metal). Glass is important for your robotics work, as are various devices, security equipment and rare minerals. Don't waste them. Third, have a plan before you start building anything huge, like an exosuit (without obtaining the necessary circuitry, they are useless). Fourth, make sure to perform maintenance on cyborgs that come in; Nanotrasen usually doesn't load them with anything but the minimum required power cells. Fifth, tech storage is your friend. It has two flashes, two power cells, and insulated gloves. For bonus points, beg the CE/RD/AI to let you into secure tech storage to get a robotics/exosuit circuitboard to control what you make in case it decides to kill everyone. Finally, ensure you have proper eye protection when you weld, or you'll become blind quickly.
==Do's and Don'ts==
'''Do:'''
*Make cyborg bodies and install MMI's in them.
*Try to borg antagonists instead of having security kill them. They fail their objectives and are no longer a danger, being restricted by their laws.
*Cut LawSync and reset cyborg laws when the AI is rogue.
*Make useful bots and leave them around the station.
*Put beacons in all Exosuits, and DNA lock them, lest they get stolen.
*Recognize that the QM might be more inclined to get you some more metals if you don't eat up all of their points with Ripley boards.
'''Don't:'''
*Put an MMI in a cyborg shell without making sure it isn't braindead (they can speak you know).
*Blow all the cyborgs because one was emagged.
*Immediately blow all cyborgs when the AI is malfunctioning - Instead, take apart your Robotics Control console and relocate it somewhere off camera so you can lock the cyborgs and reset them to become a powerful ally against the AI.
*Try to make an exosuit you don't have materials for, nothing is more useless than a pile of Durand limbs while you beg for metal and silver.
*Go on exosuit rocket launcher rampages 'because you can'.
*Be an asshat.
*Build an exosuit for anyone who just comes by and asks for one (and won't accept a Tracking Beacon).
==Tips==
===Robots===
* Medibots are a bit more robust than people often seem to account for. They're capable of stabilising multiple people in critical condition, and have infinite basic chemicals.
**Additionally, you can make medical bots out of any of the different colors of first aid kit available on the station, and the resulting medical bot will keep that color.
**A good tweak to do to medical bots is to reduce their healing threshold. Use your PDA/ID to unlock their interface, and reduce it to 5 - they will heal people who are at 95% health or less now, which is great for topping people up. Remember to lock it after you are done.
**You can stop an already-deployed Medibot from running away after the nearest hurt person as you drag them towards where they're needed the most simply by temporarily turning them off, or by setting them to stationary mode.
**Medical robots all use the same chemicals as standard, so it won't stack if they inject a lot of it into you at once or if multiple medical robots inject you. The chemical will, however, linger in your body at high concentrations - a person can be brought out of crit by having multiple medical robots healing them before a fight.
**The Derelict has all the materials needed to create a medical bot. Start your search at the broken Medbay near the chapel.
*Anywhere between adding the robotic arm and the sensor module, you can write on a robot assembly with a pen to rename the resulting robot, much like cyborgs. This is useful for keeping track of medical robots, as otherwise they're all just named "Medibot".
* Small robot assemblies can be carried in your backpack. Leaving the final piece out of a robot assembly and slamming it together in your backpack at the site of an issue makes for an effective response.
===Mechs===
* Mechs are space worthy as long as you enable the air inside your cabin. This can be useful if you don't have a space suit and you need to cross dangerous breaches.
* Losing a mech to an explosion will eject you completely unharmed (probably a good idea to be in space gear though).
* Mech drills can bust open lockers to get the goodies inside.

*RIPLEYs are a Roboticist's best friend. Their drill can cut through almost anything including most items, walls, even blast doors. The diamond drill can even cut through Reinforced walls. It is also a fairly robust weapon and can gib corpses.
** It also has fairly robust armor and can resist continuous laser fire from multiple sources for several seconds.
** When it is destroyed turrets cannot target anyone standing on the same square as it (i.e. the person who was inside when it went boom)

* The Odysseus is a force to be reckoned with. It can scan any chemicals, including drinks. The Odysseus' internal generator makes infinite amounts of any chemical, and syringes fired with the syringe gun can be recovered, meaning you can fire infinite amounts of liquid to use as reagents.
** You can mix five different chemicals in any syringe (which still only holds 15u, meaning 5 chems equals 3 of each). This can be used to create an amazing healing concoction or an extremely powerful killer syringe. For instance:
*** Healing mixture: Omnizine.
*** Harming mixture: Lexorin, Unstable mutagen, Beepsky Smash.
** Clicking a box of syringes while in an Odysseus with syringe gun equipped will load every syringe from the box in the Odysseus.
===Tips for Traitoring===
* People can't tell who you are when you are inside a mech and have to go by the mechs name... which you can change at any time. Changed your mechs name to some other mech and you can walk across the station as a confirmed traitor, so long as you don't speak.
* You can load a Medibot with '''any''' chemical mixture. Insert [[Guide_to_chemistry#Skewium|skewium]] in a medibot and have it wander around injecting people? Sure!
==Being an Evil Genius==
Traitoring as a Roboticist is fun and easy, especially since you spawn with flashes, and an expectation of building very dangerous machines. Your high station access, and access to tech storage as well as a circuit imprinter and exosuit fabricators will allow you to get pretty much anywhere, considering that you can have gloves off the bat. And, of course, [[Syndicate Items#Cryptographic_Sequencer|emagging]] any of your basic creations serves to cause havoc and chaos. The toxins kit's contents poured into a single large beaker of an emagged Medibot can create a very dangerous 'helper'. Emagging the [[Cyborg|cyborgs]] equips them with a Syndicate lawset, gives them special new tools, and prevents them from being fucked with on a control console. Though remember, cyborgs slaved to a [[Guide_to_malfunction|malfunctional AI]] can not be [[Syndicate_Items#Emag|emagged]].
If you want to make a cyborg despite having no volunteers, it's never a bad idea to simple drag the body of your last murder victim back to the lab for a debraining - Rarely do people question you once the body is already being operated on. Unrobust? Print an AI upload, subert it with either a freeform or hacked board and let them do the work for you!

Scientist is one of the most feared and fun jobs on station. Being a scientist means you can either make a buttload of delicious weapons, tools and gadgets through research, breed colorful slimes, make delicious fun-packing bombs, or experiment with time and space themselves. As it is predictable with the station, most scientists are not satisfied with just blowing up their testing area and frequently go and spread their flavor of fun throughout the station. This is of course a really bad idea, often resulting in jobbans - but then again, ''delicious bombs''.

'''Bare minimum requirements:''' Do R&D if nobody else is. 
'''Basic skills:''' Upgrade machines around the station. Do your job without blowing up the department. 
'''Advanced skills:''' [[Beyond_the_impossible_|Do Xenobiology before the Captain calls the shuttle]]. Make bombs and get your teeth kicked in by security.

The science department protolathe prints out machine parts, which can be used to [[Machines|upgrade various pieces of machinery]]. The Destructive Analyzer is now mostly obsolete, only being used to unlock the "Illegal Technology" and "Alien Surgery" tech nodes.
=== [[Guide to toxins|Toxins Research]] ===
This lab focuses on exploring the possibilities of [[Plasma|plasma gas]], <s>typically</s> always in the form of massive explosions. Provided to you is the [[Toxins Test Chamber]], where you can safely test your creations.

While bomb making is reasonably straightforward, it only takes one mistake for the entire room to become flooded with plasma or superheated carbon dioxide. Be patient and cautious.

Bombs have practical uses as [[Shaft Miner|mining]] charges, though they are mainly sought after by [[traitor]]s wanting to take out valuable station equipment and cause havoc.
=== [[Guide to xenobiology|Xenobiology]] ===
The primary purpose of this lab is research on the breeding of [[slime]]s, the extracts of which have a variety of fun effects, by feeding them large numbers of [[monkey]]s.

It also contains a pen capable of safely housing [[xenomorph]]s, in case the miners manage to locate a live facehugger. Obviously, breeding alien killing machines on the station can only end well.
=== [[Guide to telescience|Telescience]] ===
This lab specializes in the research of bluespace and teleportation. Provided is a telepad, a console and several GPS devices for you to engage in <s>grand theft</s> research!

<s>'''Note that the Telescience Lab was removed from the map we run at beestation, but you can still build the machines yourself if you get R&D high enough.'''</s> Telescience, short of admin intervention, has been completely removed.
=== [[E.X.P.E.R.I-MENTOR|Experimental Lab]] ===
This lab houses the [[E.X.P.E.R.I-MENTOR]], AKA that machine that drives R&D crazy by constantly setting off the fire alarm in their lab.
=== [[Testing Lab]] ===
A general purpose lab that goes mostly unused. It features a firing range and can be converted into a backup lab when one of the other labs inevitably blows up. Note that rebuilding Toxins in here is not going to make the crew happy, since you probably had to burn down the original first.
== Tips! ==
*'''Hey! Listen!''' ''Unless you're an antagonist ('''AND''' have permission to murderbone, in the case of relatively large bombs), '''DO NOT''' use the bombs on the main station. You'll get banned otherwise. Refer to the [[rules]].''
*Change the frequency of the remote signalling devices so that other scientists or saboteurs don't set off your explosives themselves.
*It's possible to make bombs that utterly destroy a small area, gib only those people next to you, explode when you die, bring general ruin to entire wings of the station, and more! Experimentation is the key to a scientist's work.
*You can blow up the singularity with a [[Clothes_and_internals#Backwear|Bag of Holding]]. Seriously.
*RPEDs can be used to upgrade machines by using a screwdriver on them and then the RPED! It'll replace the parts in the machine with the next best parts in the RPED!
**Using an RPED on a machine will tell you what parts it's made of!
**You can upgrade most machines on the station like the teleporter, SMES and even pacmans! Try it out some time!
* Slimes will glomp you if you hug them enough times.
* Black extracts turn people into actual slimes, green extracts only turn people into googirls/guys.
* Also black/green slime work even in fairly minute amounts, you can throw 1 unit of green/black extract in 40 units of water and the resulting 5 unit injections would still have an effect.
* The slime processor and the chef's food processor are the same thing. So you can grind slimes in the chef's food processor and make fries in the slime processor!
* Using water on a silver slime core will produce large quantities of booze, including those in large bottles that can be smashed for weapons with an equivalent damage output to a circular saw.
* If you're making a typical valve transfer bomb, don't follow the wiki precisely. Instead of using a plasma-super hot co2 combo in one tank and pure o2 in the other, use a tank with 80% o2 20% plasma and the other pure super hot co2. This way you get a better o2 to plasma ratio and devastating results.
* Tank transfer valve will accept any color of large tank, and it will be reflected accurately in the sprite. It even accepts jetpacks.
* Plasma cutters (AKA infinite welders) can cut through regular walls without causing damage to your eyes.
* You can scan ANY chemical with the Odysseus and have it produce more. Even rare chems such as nanomachines or traitor poisons.
* If an anomaly appears, scan it with an analyzer and then ping the frequency it gives you with a remote signaling device.
* Remember: If you detonate your bombs on the main station without being an antagonist, you will get banned. Refer to the [[rules]].
===Tips for Traitoring===
* Test Range firing pins can be emagged to work like a normal firing pin.
* Orange slime extracts can be used as ghetto firebombs.
* Green Eyed friendly spiders will produce <s>hostile</s> slaved player controlled (if there are any ghosts around) spiders after eating from a corpse and laying a clutch of eggs. Xenobio can easily breed a freakish spider army, and then if for some reason the power goes out...Honk.
==A Terrorist is you!==
At any given moment, a scientist out there is a traitor. When half the station vanishes off the face of the map, well, you know who it was. It is recommended that you use your traitor points on things to conceal your identity, as people will want to murder and kill you to death after you set them up the bomb. Or, in the least, get a space suit for the huge void you just made. Research and development currently are useful for terrorism. Grab whatever you can first out of there like laser cannons and stun guns.

}}
So you're going to be the caretaker of a [[Geneticist|bunch]] of [[Roboticist|lobotomy]] [[Scientist|patients]] with access to some of the most dangerous things on the station! This is a brief overview of the Research Director's job, what he or she will inevitably face and how they can overcome adversity.
[[File:Rdivision.png|300px|thumb|link=http://puu.sh/3EzGx.png|alt=Research Division|[[Research Division|The halls of SCIENCE!]]]]
'''Bare minimum requirements:''' Upgrade important Medbay equipment, know who has 6 maxcap bombs, and know how to deal with the silicons if they become less than friendly
== Get It All Together ==
As the Research Director, your job is obviously to direct research. You have access to all things scientific.
=== [[Research_Division#Research_Director.27s_Office|Your Office]] ===
[[File:RD_Office.png|300px|thumb|alt=Your Office|[[Research_Division#Research_Director.27s_Office|The office of SCIENCE!]]]]
You arrive on the station inside [[Research_Division#Research_Director.27s_Office|your office]] next to toxins mixing. You have the front seat <s>if</s> when it catches on fire. So sit back and enjoy the view. Remember that you have two of the most important consoles on the station - the AI integrity restorer and Robotics Control consoles. Guard them with your life. In your office you have:
*An AI System Restorer (Revives dead AIs)
*A Robotics Control console (AI is rogue, blow the borgs!)
*An Exosuit Control console
*A camera monitor for supervising your laboratories
*Teleporter and AI Core circuit boards
*An Intellicard (Download the AI from its core, wipe it if it's rogue, steal it if ''you're'' rogue)
*A pAI
*A locker stocked with some alternate outfits and a flash
*A Reactive Teleporter Armor (Remember to turn it on before wearing)
*Your pet facehugger, Lamarr
You may wish to periodically check how many cyborgs there are on the robotics console and if any are no longer slaved to an AI, or has stopped functioning.
=== Directing Research 101 ===
[[Scientist]]s will be your primary subordinates. They will be working with the R&D, Toxins, and Xenobiology laboratories. You may want to ensure that all three labs are manned by assigning your scientists roles at the start of the shift. Toxins and xenobio labs usually don't need more than one scientist working there at a time, unless they're requesting help. '''Familiarize yourself with all sub-departments of Science and be prepared to fill in when something is needed.'''

Periodically sync the research computer in R&D so Robotics has access to the latest data. This also backs up your research data to the server, so if something happens to the research console the data can be easily restored. DO NOT FORGET THIS!

Don't forget to check on the [[Roboticist]]s every now and again to ensure they are doing their jobs which is building and maintaining cyborgs, bots, and exosuits. Sync their research console if they haven't already, as well as their fabricators. Make sure they aren't building combat mechs without authorization, and try to convince them to put tracking beacons on their creations.

[[Geneticist]]s have the habit of monkeying themselves or abusing superpowers. If they manage to bypass your supervision and start abusing their powers, notify security immediately and have them stripped of rank.
===Your Defense===
At the start of each shift, the Research Director is one of the more vulnerable heads of staff on board. Given enough time, however, he can develop into a powerful, destructive force. You start with access to the Toxins and Xenobiology labs, which both can be used to your advantage if you're familiar with them (Which, being the Director of Science, you most certainly should be).

There is a Reactive Teleporter Armor in your locker - It is both a fantastic tool and a hilarious deathtrap. When it is activated, any physical contact (Hugging, stripping, grabbing, hitting) will cause the armor to shunt you away in a random direction. While can be incredibly useful, it can also be incredibly dangerous if you're near space. It can easily fling you out into the void, so be mindful of when you keep it on or off.

While you can produce a vast array of weapons, a large majority of them require a Firing Pin. These can be found in the Armory, in your locker or ordered from Cargo. While you cannot replicate the standard Electronic Firing Pins, you can create two unique versions: Testing Range pins, and Mindshield Pins. The former will give your gun the ability to be fired exclusivley on the Firing Range, for testing, while the latter will not fire for those who do not have a [[Security_items#Mindshield_Implant|Mindshield Implant]]. Gear given to Security typically benefits from being pinned with them, as it prohibits their weapons from being used against them.
=== Lamarr ===
Inside the display case in your office is a surgically modified [[Xenos#Facehugger|facehugger]]. It can no longer kill and implant its embryos inside a host body, but it still feels the need to leap on anyone in reach. It's usually best kept in its case.
== There's No I In Team ==
Your official responsibility is to ensure that nobody does anything they shouldn’t. This means making sure the Geneticists don’t turn the Captain into a monkey, that Roboticists don’t kidnap and borg the Clown, that Xenobio doesn't spawn angry mobs everywhere, that Telescience doesn't steal the nuke disk, that R&D doesn't see what happens when they put two bags of holding together, and that Toxins does not destroy the Station.

Do not try to stop Toxins from igniting itself; if they are stupid enough to set themselves on fire, no amount of shouting or threatening will stop them from doing so. As long as the fire is contained to Toxins, nobody gets hurt.

Nobody important, anyway.
=== In Case of Wizard, Assume Brace Position ===
With a wizard on board, Science can often find itself in all sorts of trouble - There are several high-risk items inside your department that the magical intruder might be after, and beyond that, your very life could be in danger! In fact, it probably is, between fireballs, animated objects, and polymorphed xenomorphs. Try to ride out the storm until it's time to go home; or, if the Wizard is horribly incompetent (As is often the case), settle down for a long shift of relative quiet.
If the wizard has EI NATH then you have to focus more on Robotics, and deal with borging the steady stream of brains into a robotic army.
=== No Nuclear Fire Today ===
Sometimes, groups of angry terrorists with spiffy red hardsuits and scary black borgs will board the station. They want to ruin your day, so make no mistakes and take no prisoners. It's pretty much a given that you'll be evacuating, so strap up on your favorite gear and get stuck in. Remember that two easy-access weapons of yours (The Telescopic Baton and Flamethrower) are both very effective against nuclear strike teams, being able to totally invalidate energy shields and swords. Just try not to get shot.
=== Computer Maintenance And You ===
In the event of AI damage or deactivation, there is a computer in your office which can be used to restore and repair its systems. Simply put an IntelliCard loaded with an AI into the console and start the process. The AI should be functional again at 50% integrity. This is a long process, but it is still usually better than having no AI at all.

In addition, it is possible to build a new AI from the circuit also found in your office. Using plasteel and glass, it is constructed just like any other computer up until the human brain is inserted (only if you want a new AI, else you'll get an empty core you can transfer existing AIs into). Keep the existence of the human component hush-hush! It's a [[Backstory#Nanotrasen|trade secret]]! Please be aware that a freshly constructed [[AI]] comes with the default Asimov laws, unless you put a law circuit with a different lawset in during construction.
=== ROGUE AI – When the Spotlight Shines Your Way ===
The Robotics Control in your office will be your primary weapon against the deadly worldwide gangster communist frankenstein computer god! Using it, you can lock and detonate cyborgs, as well as view their relevant stats: This includes charge, selected module, operational status, and arguably most importantly, their status as slaved or otherwise to the AI(s). An unslaved Cyborg almost always warrants investigation if you have not received a notice from Robotics about unslaving a borg!

If you have reason to believe a cyborg is rogue, lock it down so you can find the cyborg and check its wiring. You can also deconstruct the borg frame in entirety to retrive and question the MMI, although whether or not it cooperates varies heavily. Only detonate the borg as a last resort - And even when you are considering doing so, remember that the detonation is a rather powerful explosion can severely injure nearby humans. Under no circumstances are you to waste valuable equipment to paranoia or rumors.
====KNOW YOUR SILICON====
There are three types of rogue silicons that you should be familiar with. Each has a slew of different options regarding how you can deal with it.
* Subverted: A traitor (Or unscrupulous Captain) has used either a Freeform module of a Hacked Law Module to upload a law (or several) that is dangerous to the crew
** Subverted AIs can be fixed very easily via using a Purge and Default board on an Upload Console.
** Subverted AIs cannot hack their cyborgs
** Subverted AIs can be downloaded to an Intellicard
* Traitor: The AI was supplied with a Zeroth law to acomplish it's objectives. This law cannot be removed.
** Traitor AIs cannot be turned into normal AIs. Capture/destruction is the only option.
** Traitor AIs can hack their cyborgs.
** Traitor AIs can be downloaded onto an Intellicard.
*Malfunctioning: The AI has an irremovable hacked law and the ability to hack APCs. It can access several special powers by spending it's CPU.
** Malfunctioning AIs cannot be fixed. They must be destroyed. They can and will shunt into a hacked APC before dying, requiring you to deconstruct the APC (ENTIRELY) to finish it off.
** Malfunctioning AIs can hack their cyborgs.
** Malfunctioning AIs have grown too strong and cannot be downloaded onto an Intellicard.
=== How To Tell A Traitor From A Disillusioned Doctor ===
A revolution is a bad time for both research and directing it - As such, you're in for a wild and dangerous ride where you will live as a robust freedom warrior or die the endless hordes of greyshirt commies. The sad reality is that you are extremely vulnerable, as you start in a department where dangerous things are easily put together, along with the fact that the high department population typically means there is a head revolutionary hidden somewhere inside. At the FIRST sign of danger, you need to be RD outski and get to Brig. This means:
* People flashing each other
* People following you around and not doing their job
* People milling around in firesuits with flamethrowers
You will either be one of the first to die (Along with the CMO) or the last in line, dragged kicking and screaming into the afterlife. Or, you will be a robust hero. The choice is yours.
=== AI Overpopulation: The Core Circuit And You ===
Whether to reduce the load on primary AI, circumvent AFKing players, increase your chances of survival during AI malfunction or just to increase information chaos, with this nifty AI Core circuit board found in your office and some additional components, you can [[Guide_to_construction#AI_Core|make a second, working AI]]. Be sure to place it near an intercom or radio and you now have two working AIs on the station.
==Tips==
* Lamarr can be used for internals.
* If you are doing particularly dangerous research with a particularly untrustworthy science team, remember that you can delete each technology from each server. Once research is complete, it's perfectly alright for you to entire that alcove of mysterious computers and superchilled air to delete the mech weapons from the Robotics server.
* You can restore dead AIs using the AI system integrity restorer consoles! There's one in the RD office, and one DIRECTLY TO THE RIGHT OF THE AI UPLOAD FOYER. That's right! When your AI dies, you don't have to fart around and say ''"uh, so, like, should we call the shuttle or something? or build a new one? herp?"'' Just use an intellicard on the destroyed AI core and slot it into the console! Wow! You're a helpful little furless monkey!
* Unlike what some Roboticists say, they answer to the RD. If they are too stubborn to remember that, make some time to demote them and ensure they don't go on a vengeful mech rampage later. Otherwise, sync your research often, and go check on 'em to eventually congratulate them on their job. Bring them sulfuric acid so they don't ask you for boards too often. Don't hesitate to steal some materials if the miners are dragging it all to robotics: and remember, 10 sheets of everything is enough to make a good chunk o' stuff.

* Episkopos' RnD Guide:
:https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Eo7No74QjRO14iT9iFgxVFq3M5HpBiTVEcCtozmNZEU/edit?usp=sharing&pref=2&pli=1
* The two non computer parts of a teleporter use telecrystals in their design, so you can get more than enough for max telesci by cannibalizing one of the abandoned ones in space.
* Sync up before upgrading your machines in RnD. ...fuck.
* If you have an assistant or extra Science crew, give one a RPED full of parts for said machines and a screwdriver, then send them to Medical to be useful. Fully upgraded clones spit out perfect clones. No brain damage, no defects. They can get dressed and back to bustin' heads.

== Mad Science ==
'''NOTE: By default, the Research Director cannot be an antagonist.'''

The research director, like all heads of staff, make extremely dangerous traitors just by virtue of their access and departmental loyalty. You have so many ways to screw the station over: bombs, guns, possible chemistry access, the power to make EVERY POSSIBLE AI UPLOAD BOARD, comms boards, bags of holding (and thus [[singularity|singulo]]s), extra tracking beacons, mechs, an excuse to emag borgs... you can tear the station apart and make them stay on it. While your underlings are less likely to fall in line than [[security]] or a horde of clowns ordered to create chaos, a majority of the time they'll let you get away with truly wicked deeds just for the sake of SCIENCE!

R&D becomes your personal armoury. With an [[cryptographic sequencer|emag]] you can override the firing pin on the guns you make and use them anywhere you please. A Bag of Holding is so big it can even hold shotguns and ion rifles. Technological shells can be used to produce some very special shotgun shells. If you go through the effort to build telescience equipment, you can teleport anything you want from and to anywhere you want. Don't forget illegal modules for cyborgs, which unlocks their locked module (pacid for medborg, diamond drill for minerborg, etc.) at the cost of damaging their interface, making it seem like they're emagged. You can also make the clusterbang launcher, for mechs, and the T.Y.R.A.N.T. module for AIs, with that illegal tech you got. Finally, with a portable chem dispenser, bluespace beakers and large grenade casings, you can have a wider range of grenades than Team Fortress Classic.

Less useful but still dangerous, [[roboticist|robotics]] is a hive of scum and villainy even when staffed by decent sorts. If a head of staff drags in a corpse and orders it to be borged or just takes out the brain himself, generally speaking no questions will be asked and the deed will swiftly be done. The corpse and/or brain of your victim can then be given to the [[chef]] who generally believes meat is meat.

[[File:Atmospherics.png|300px|thumb|alt=Atmospherics|Welcome to [[Atmospherics|Atmosia]].]]
What you do is rather simple, if there is any sort of environmental disaster, head off and fix it! You have your tools, your [[headset|engineering headset]], pipe, space heaters, and atmospheric survival equipment. When things get quiet, sit back and start building an on station super slide while people ask why you even work here. When things go wrong, people will scream at you and ask why you even work here.

'''Bare minimum requirements:''' Fight fires, restore the atmosphere in rooms that can't support life. Know how to fix sabotage to Atmospherics. Secure dat fukken axe. 
'''Basic skills:''' Know what the pipe loops and air alarm settings do. Optimize the waste loop so it doesn't get clogged in case of a hull breach (cold gases) or plasma fire (hot gases). Carry an [[Atmospherics_items#Items|Atmos Holoprojector]] with you. 
'''Advanced skills:''' Know about moles/volume and the properties of gases. Know the basics of Toxins and Engineering and perform fusion to generate rare gases. 
==[[File:Atmospherics Hardsuit Helmet.png]] Firebender==
As the Atmospheric Technician, you have what should be a simple and easy job: [[Beyond the impossible|Keep Atmospherics operational and make sure the station doesn't burn down or run out of breathable air]]. As long as you have a good idea of how everything works, then this shouldn't be much of an issue. Atmosia may be a daunting mess of pipes, but after a few shifts of toying around with it, it will all make sense.

Basically, being an Atmospheric Technician can be easy if you want to make it easy. You can sit around and do minor improvements and fix atmos issues around the station, or you could be an absolute madman and perform ritual magic with Tritium Fusion bullshit and make advanced gasses. Your choice.
==[[File:O2 Canister.png]] [[Atmospherics|Atmosia]]==
The great city state of pipes, it is used as a jetpack recharge station for Syndicate Agents, a hideout for [[Wizard|Wizards]], a breeding ground of [[Xenos]], and has a general alert computer that will tell if any place is messed up.

People rarely come here, but it is possible to do a lot of harm to the station if you know how.

Please keep in mind that making Atmospherics sabotage-proof (for example by removing the plasma tank from the loop) before you have decent IC evidence that someone is going to sabotage it is considered metagaming.

==[[File:Analyzer.png]] What you Can do to Pass the Time==
Atmos Techs usually have no clue what they can do, and often drift into a spiral of depression and suicide. Fret not! Here are some suggestions for you to do.
===[[File:Turbine computer.gif]] Set up the [[Turbine Engine]] ===
The [[Turbine Engine]] is one of the few places where atmospheric technicians can help to generate power. First, max up the pumps leading to and away from the turbine. Up in atmospherics, isolate the black pipes, and inject plasma and oxygen into it via the pumps/computers. Set a filter to create a 66% oxygen and 33% plasma mix, otherwise known as a burn mix. Then input that burn mix into the turbine, and voila, it's generating a relatively steady 110 KW. (which pales when compared to what the SM can do, but well, it's a tertiary engine after all, with solars being the secondary power source)
===[[File:AirAlarm.png]] Repressurization and Filtering ===
After the [[Engineer]]s have taken care of a hull breach (read: if), or after [[Toxins]] floods the place with plasma, it'll be your job to refill the area and make it breathable.

This can be done by using the Atmosphere Alarms mounted in most areas, along with the vents and scrubbers in the area.

The primary utility of the Atmosphere Alarm in refilling an area involves the vents.
Each vent has a pressure check value on it, and is by default set to pressure check '''externally''' - this means that the vent attempts to bring the tile it's on to the listed pressure.
A rapid manner of refilling an area is to remove the external pressure check, switch it over to the internal check - this attempts to regulate the pressure in the pipes of and running to the vent below, which is directly fed by the distribution loop pump in the north end of Atmosia.
Setting the "pressure bound" variable to zero with internal pressure checks attempts to void all air in the pipes, effectively reducing their pressure to zero and, in the process, flooding air at an alarming rate into the area. Given the impractically slow rate at which the air alarms normally fill the area, this can be a very expeditious way to work. Pressure is dangerous, so don't simply leave the vent alone for extended periods of time, as you can, eventually, turn smaller areas into death-traps if there is enough pressure in the distribution loop.

The alarms can be set to a number of modes:
* '''Filtering''' - The default setting. Note that most scrubbers won't filter out plasma or other gases unless you set them to, so do that!
* '''Draught''' - This filters out air slowly, creating a draught. Useful if you need to drain a small amount of air due to overpressurization.
* '''Panic''' - This drains all the air quickly. Most of the time used to remove all plasma very quickly, or by a malfunctioning AI.
* '''Replace Air''' - Drains all the air, then replaces it. Try not to use it if there's nothing toxic in the air.
Normally the vents will fill the room slowly by default, though using some filled Portable Air Pumps, or Air Canisters you can refill the area much more quickly.
===[[File:Waterbackpack atmos.png]] '''BE THE FIREFIGHTER THE STATION DESERVES'''===
A fire is easily the most fun thing that can happen in a round (for you anyway); successful firefighting requires a real understanding of the atmospheric system. At all times, wear basic tools in a toolbelt and carry your firefighting gear in your backpack. When the call goes out, don your fire suit and gas mask, get yourself running on internals, put your oxygen tank ''on your back'', and carry your fire first aid kit, extinguisher and reinforced glass in your backpack (carried in a hand slot).

Drag a water tank behind you and get to the fire. With AI cooperation, have the burning area bolted or welded off, save one access point the AI can monitor. This keeps the fire from spreading and [[Station Engineer|chucklefucks]] from wandering into a fiery doom. Once inside, you must quickly determine the sort of fire you are dealing with. Pressure tanks of plasma can release massive amounts of fuel (or even burst!) and must be shut off or isolated immediately, while the best way to isolate broken pipes is to box them in with reinforced glass until a proper repair can be done. With fuel shut off, find the atmospheric alarm and set it to Panic Syphon.

This drains air out of the room completely. With this process started, check for survivors or bodies and either apply burn patches and epinephrine or simply remove them from the compartment via your access point. Next, seek out any ignition sources such as lit zippo lighters and disable them, reporting them to security for their forensic investigation. Then proceed with extinguishing any remaining pockets of flame. Once the fire is cleared out, focus on clearing any remaining plasma from the atmosphere by dragging in a scrubber.

Finally, set the atmosphere alarm to pump in fresh air. It may take several cycles of filling and draining the room to clear all plasma and make larger areas inhabitable again, but once you are done, head to the bar and score some babes while Engineers clean up the mess.

(Note this lengthy guide is only really useful for those big "Research done herped-a-derp" fires that engulf Med/Sci or are caused by very skillful arsonists. Smaller fires, such as the sort chemists who just learned the napalm recipe cause, really only require some fire-extinguisher blasts and setting up a room's scrubber to remove plasma and CO2. Never presume, however, that you won't need your full toolkit. This author spent well-nigh an hour in the fiery bowels of med-sci on one occasion, but not only did I never have to leave after I stepped in and sealed it off, but I had the situation so well under control that after five minutes normal shipboard life resumed and admins eventually had to spawn facehuggers to return a sense of danger to the crew.)

But wait! There's more. Let me introduce you to a little something called...
====[[File:Atmos nozzle.png]] ATMOS Resin====
By taking one of the Backpack Firefighter Tanks [[File:Waterbackpack atmos.png]] from one of your lockers in Atmospherics, you can become the ultimate firefighting machine. This stuff works like a miracle when dealing with mass Plasma floods, and may be your only chance at stopping massive fires.

The resin it spews has the following effects:
* Repairs hull breaches similarly to [[Guide_to_chemistry#Smart Metal Foam|Metal Foam]].
* Cleans the air from toxins.
* Normalises air temperature to room temperature (20°C or 293.15K).
* Removes slipperiness from floors (from water etc).
* The foam itself is not slippery.

To use the Backpack Firefighter Tank, equip it on your backpack slot and click the new hud icon to take out the nozzle[[File:atmos_nozzle.png]]. You can then cycle modes between extinguisher, resin launcher and single tile resin launcher (foamer) by activating the nozzle in your hand. It spends water when used. Use the nozzle on a water tank to refill it. Examine the nozzle to see water remaining. More of these bad boys can be ordered from [[Supply_crates#Backpack Firefighting Crate|cargo]].

'''DO NOT''' spray a Supermatter engine with atmos resin if you don't want it to delaminate. Sure, it seems like a good idea if it's on fire and full of plasma, but impairing the movement of gasses around the crystal doesn't help the situation the way you might think.

----------------

===[[File:Fireaxe.png]] Total Emergency: The Fire Axe and you===
The Fire Axe is your tool during emergencies (because you can use it as a crowbar to open an airlock when the power is off) and your weapon (traitors, revolutionaries, and cultists usually try to steal the axe because you can kill a person in seconds). The fire axe is protected with a Fire Axe Cabinet. To open it, just take a multitool and use it on the cabinet to reset the circuitry and unlock/lock it. Or you could just do it the classic way and give it a good whack a couple of times with a lit welder or some other hefty blunt object, that works as well too.
===[[File:Welder.png]] Window Repair===
A good way to be proactive within your job is fixing the broken windows that occur every round. Gird your loins with a toolbelt if you can, grab some metal and glass, and patrol the outer passageways. Almost always, the task requires a low-pressure or no-pressure exposure to the great beyond. By creatively rotating and moving surviving windows you can lock in your precious atmosphere, then replace the broken glass and grill. The truly hardcore technicians do minor spacewalks with only the flame of their welding torch for heat, sipping sweet oxygen through their breath masks behind a welding helmet. Are you hardcore? No, you're not. Go back to being a hardsuited engineer who can't find a hull breach without a pair of mesons and never bothers to fix them anyway.
===[[File:PortablePump.png]] Life Sucks and Blows===
You can purge the air out of rooms using an emergency siphon, or change the air filter controls with the air alarm attached to walls! Just take your ID in hand, and click to un/lock it and play with the controls. Setting up the pumps in Atmos now allows you to pump any gas to any point in the station! You could also do this more manually with the use of Portable Air Pumps if you needed to.

Protip: Pure oxygen lets people survive in a breached compartment much longer.

Protip: Pure oxygen makes plasma fires much, much worse.

Protip: Since you're in charge of both breathing and firefighting, Murphy's Law says you're screwed.
===[[File:PipeDispenser.png]] Laying Some Pipe===
You have two machines! One machine is for dispensing gas pipes, and one for dispensing disposal pipes. To install gas pipes, simply click on them in your hand until they are properly aligned, drop them on the tile they are needed, and use the wrench on them. For disposal pipes, one must drag them into position, wrench them in place on the subfloor, then weld them to seal it all together. A personal locker makes a great method to haul all the air pipes you'd ever need between job sites, but disposal pipes must be dragged one at a time. Expect Security to frequently and irrationally demand the locker be checked for bodies, usually three or four times a minute, if you use the main hallways.
==[[File:Evahelmet.png]] EVA without a spacesuit?==
See: [[Station_Engineer#I have no suit and I must EVA|I have no suit and I must EVA]]
==[[File:Light Bulb.png]] Tips==
* Air pumps can fill tanks beyond the ~1013.25 kPa pressure limit. Connect the pump to a port, then pop in a canister.
* Firesuits protect between 60 to 30,000 Kelvin.
* Setting air vents to 0 kPa internal check (or just turning off the check) will make them pump out air like crazy, which makes it excellent to restore air to an area quickly. But be careful with the pressure on the vent tile itself, if the pressure in the outgoing distro loop is very high it might be dangerous. ADDED: Don't max the vents. Set the vents to internal and desired pressure 0 instead. Maxed vents at 5000 KPA in a 100 KPA room will output 2450 KPA in the first tick, then 1225 KPA, 612.5 KPA, 306.25 KPA, 153.125 KPA, etc etc (assuming vents are always provided with max air). Zero'd vents will output 5000 KPA, then 5000 KPA, then 5000 KPA, etc.
* N2O knocks out in low amounts, suffocates in high amounts.
* If you're an atmos tech trying to repair a hull breach without a fire/space suit: Turn off the vents. No more air will be vented into the room, which means there won't be any space wind to fight against if you accidentally fall out the window.
* Atmos tech is actually an interesting job, disposal tubes give such wonderful opportunities for killing people, however, it takes a shitton of time to build everything you need.
* Any sort of air mix is survivable as long as it has at least 16 kPa of oxygen on the output. This means you can easily compute the release pressure you'd need for a given airmix by dividing 16 by the percentage of oxygen in the mix; i.e. for 20/80 O2/N2 air mix you'd need a release pressure of 16/0.2 = 80 to be fine.
* '''Steps To Set Up Atmospherics So You Never Need To Worry And It Fucking Helps You Out'''
# Turn off and unwrench Air to Distro and Waste In, two pumps in the northern area of Atmos where the distro loop and mixing is done and all that. They are labeled and easy to find. Keep them in place on the floor.
# Go to the atmos pipe dispenser a few meters away and vend two volumetric pumps. These are like regular pumps but almost literally better in every way whatsoever. They pump more, faster.
# Fit your volumetric pumps in place of Waste In and Air to Distro, making sure the red stripe lines up with how the pumps were fitted by default so the flow goes the right way.
# Volumetric pumps are automatically set to full fucking power so just turn on both of them.
# Set every scrubber in the loop around the room to 4500 kPa. This is full blast.
* If you are an atmos tech and want to greatly reduce possibility of harmful atmos manipulations... or if you are an AI and you spotted a guy just turning valves to release plasma to distro:
:* Open atmospherics console for a specific chamber and toggle power on output. 90% of players don't check this console. As AI I laughed many times as sabotager was running back and forth, checking every pump 3 times, and still, no plasma appeared. In this way you can also shut down harmful gases pumping when one is smart and changed pipes under grilles.:* Or put manual valves in front of every harmful gas, switch out some gas pumps for volumetric pumps, and repipe the mixing pipes to disallow the mix tank to provide into the distro. (Setting up Atmos in such a way it can't be sabotaged by the AI before there's a reason to think the AI might sabotage Atmos is not only metagaming, it is also bannable. If you see this happen, adminhelp it!)
* You can rotate a pipe in your hand by click on it.
* Fire extinguishers fit in firesuit suit storage.
* The Fire Axe Cabinet can be opened with a multitool.
* You can disable fire alarms by multitooling them.
* You can trigger fire alarms by shooting them with a projectile. ADDED: Or hitting them with anything.

==[[File:Doubleagent.gif]] Oxygen is Overrated==
Traitor atmos techs have the potential to become one of the most devastating forces on station. [[Guide_to_Atmospherics#Being_a_Traitorous_Scum|If you know what you're doing]], you can pretty much flood the station with whatever harmful gas you want. If you do, remember to take measures against the AI messing with your work, and always keep your internals on. This means either subverting the AI or cutting its access. If you're feeling particularly daring, you can unwrench the pipes and rearrange them, ensuring the AI cannot fix it. Bolt the doors, or set the room on fire to prevent humans from fixing it too. Depending on how bad it's going to be, you might want to procure a [[Syndicate_Items#Syndicate_Space_Suit|space suit]] to escape the hell you've created.
===[[File:Light Bulb.png]] Tips for Traitoring===
* The incinerator can easily be used to create canisters of pure death. A tritium flamethrower can prove extra deadly for the unprepared.
* Plasma + N2O is extremely deadly if you can get someone to use it as internals/force them to use it. They won't even be able to scream.
* Wielded fire-axes break grilles and reinforced windows. In one shot.
** And open unpowered doors and kill people fairly reliably.
* You can change sensor settings on air alarms so it doesn't cause an alarm by setting the value to -1, which turns that sensor off. Do it for all sensors and you can get rid of pesky alarms that are pretty much already fixed, or hide atmos fuckery.
*You have access to the engineering circuit imprinter, go subvert the AI! Most plasmafloods are blamed on the machine and the atmos tech is often seen as an innocent victim, use that to your advantage.
*Hacked your way into science toxins? Tank transfer valve bombs will achieve most if not all of your kill objectives.

Effectively, you are an assistant on steroids, and need not fear any electrical things with your gloves. You can, however, affect the station, for good or for ill, much more profoundly than a mere [[assistant]] can. What sets you appart from the rest of the crew on the station is that you are the most equipped for constructing objects and machinery, repairing structural damage, and are best equiped crewmembers for E.V.A. missions in the cold of [[Space]].
'''Bare minimum requirements:''' Fix hull breaches, fix cables/[[Engineering_items#Equipment|APCs]] if power goes out in an area. Know how [[Solars]] and [[Engineering_items#Equipment|SMES]] work. '''Resist the temptation to run off with a hardsuit at roundstart.'''

==[[File:RigHelmet.png]] The Engineer==
===[[File:Paper.png]] Engineering Etiquette===
Take a look around engineering as the first thing you do, and see how many fellow engineers you have. If there's a ton, you probably don't want to snatch up everything that isn't nailed down. Don't fight over hardsuits. Don't try to break into the middle of a task someone has already begun: trying to fill plasma tanks at the same time as another person usually ends up filling engineering with plasma, and trying to turn on containment at the same time as someone is often lethal.

Be nice and courteous and you'll often be treated well, curse people out for their incompetence or how slow they are and people aren't going to rush to your retrieve your corpse when syndicates blow your head off on the solars.
===[[File:Engiepack.png]] Engineering Equipment===
Engineers have to carry a lot of equipment to perform their various tasks. The job is a lot easier if you carry around what you need so you don't constantly have to be running back to engineering for each step of a repair process.

Here's a suggestion how you can be prepared for shit on the space station:
[[File:engineer_loadout.png|thumb|664px|This is an image of the tools every engineer should be trusted to have on him at all times. Empty pockets can be used for tools, flashlights, etc]]
[[File:engineer_rig_loadout.png|thumb|664px|And if you're planning to go fix stuff in space]]
{| class="wikitable" style="background-color: #eeccaa"
! style="background-color: #ddaa77;" | Container
! style="background-color: #ddaa77;" |Contents
|- align="center"
|[[File:Utilitybelt.png|62px]] '''[[Utility Belts|Tool Belt]]'''
|[[File:engineer_toolbelt_contents.png|448px]] Screwdriver, wrench, wirecutters, multitool, cable coil, crowbar, welding tool.

|[[File:Engineer_box_contents.png|448px]] Breath mask, epinephrine medipen, T-ray scanner, airlock electronics, power control module, cable coil, flashlight.
|}
Some of this you start with, some you need to collect. The items you pick up are:
*[[File:IGloves.png]] '''Insulated Gloves:''' Your most prized possession, these puppies protect you from shock. Engineers work with insane amounts of electricity, and it's easy to put yourself into crit if you tap into the main engine line without remembering to put them on. Always grab a pair of gloves. There's a few pairs laying around engineering, and more in the electrical closet. Lock the closet when you're done unless you want the clown and mime to steal all the remaining pairs.

*[[File:Welder.png]] '''Industrial Welding Tool:''' Grab this from the welding locker next to the electronics locker; it has double the capacity of a normal welding tool. Throw the normal one you have on the floor to be like every engineer ever (or put it away neatly for bonus points from the CE).

*[[File:WeldingHelmet.png]] '''Welding Mask:''' You need this to avoid going blind while welding. Note if you have the hardsuit on, it works as a welding mask you don't have to flip up/flip down.

*[[File:Metal.png]][[File:Glass.png]] '''Metal & Glass:''' Basic building blocks. Carrying just one stack each is generally fine; convert it into floor tiles, bars, or reinforced glass as necessary. If you take one stack to yourself, pay close attention to the radio so you know where they are needed.

*[[File:MGlasses.png]] '''Engineering Scanner Goggles''' These have three modes: Meson mode allows vision of structures and terrain through walls; T-ray mode allows vision of objects beneath flooring such as cables and pipes; and Radiation mode reveals objects contaminated from radiation.

*[[File:Gas_mask.png]] '''Gas mask:''' Basically the same function as a breath mask, but with the added bonus of protecting you from pepper spray, acid sprays to the face (once), and some of the diseases the [[Virologist|virologist]] inevitably releases. Also keeps you on your feet a little longer in high concentrations of N2O, so make sure you have one in your inventory if not on your face for roleplay reasons. Note, syndicate voice changer looks exactly like it, so don't be surprised if Security asks you to take off your mask to verify you are who you say you are. You can find them in engineering lockers, laying around in engineering and in maintenance tunnels.

*[[File:Extended_Emergency_Oxygen_Tank.png]] '''Extended-capacity emergency oxygen tank:''' These canisters hold a LOT of air. The hardsuits can hold full-sized canisters which hold more, but two of these filled up in your bag and there's very little chance of you ever running out of air. '''To fill up:''' place it in the oxygen tank, click the oxygen tank and turn the pressure all the way up, open the valve, then close the valve. Once you're sure it's closed, remove the tank. Click the tank in your hand and lower the mask pressure to 16 KPA, which will give you the most possible use.

*[[File:Power_cell.png]] '''Power Cell:''' Needed to repair a fully broken APC, or just get an APC working in a drained area. Good to have one on hand.

*'''Inducer:''' The Electromagnetic Power Inducer can be used to charge objects like APCs, cyborgs, and [[Weapons#Longarm (Energy)|energy-based weapons]] without replacing their power cells.

*'''Rapid Construction Device:''' RCDs can be used to create or destroy simple objects such as walls, doors and windows without using tools on them. Cannot construct/deconstruct reinforced walls.

*[[File:Flashlight.png]] '''Flashlights:''' These light up the area, even in your pockets. Two flashlights in your pockets and your helmet light on and you'll light up a huge area, very helpful to general crew when you're doing repairs in a freshly-darkened crater so they don't walk into the vacuum and freeze.

*[[File:Hazard.png]] '''Hazard Vest:''' An archetypal item, it serves no purpose except roleplay and that you can buckle an extended capacity emergency oxygen tank to it. Definitely do so if you aren't in a hardsuit or firesuit.

*[[File:Circuitboard.png]] '''Power control module:''' You need this to repair a fully broken APC. Some sit by the SMES modules.

*[[File:Circuitboard.png]] '''Airlock electronics:''' You need this to construct an airlock. Having one on hand can save you a long trip back if you run across a broken door. Some by the metal and supplies, and one by the SMES modules.

*[[File:T-ray.gif]] '''T-ray Scanner:''' Click on it on your hand to activate. When activated it will reveal wires and pipes under the flooring, as well as Critters and Creatures inside pipes. Works in pockets and on your belt.
Firesuits can no longer be carried in bags, and it's unsafe to firefight without them, so just run to the nearest firefighter closet in the advent of a fire to gear up -- There is one close to nearly everything everywhere in the station, learn their locations.

Note that some of these are for roleplay reasons only. Roleplay too determines if you're a good engineer or not -- When talking with people face to face, pop the helmet off and carry it a bit -- hardsuits look pretty cool without the helmet on. Write down things you figure out like the door wires and photocopy them, distribute to the other engineering staff as a memo. Engineers have some great roleplay as the people that fix everything when everything else is going to hell. Take advantage of that camraderie and the ludicrous nature the situations you will find yourself in. A robotic mute-guy-fixing-everything playing style is efficient of course, but it isn't nearly as fun for everyone.
==[[File:Wrench.png]] Doing Your Duty==
You have a few things you should do, if you don't want to be [[robust]]ed, before doing what you want to do. Repairing things is what engineers do, and so is setting the station with power. Without any engineers doing a little work, the station will crumble.
===[[File:Supermatter shard.png]] [[Guide_to_the_Supermatter#Box_and_Meta_station_setup|Starting the Engine]]===
This is an extremely important task. Luckily, it is [[Guide_to_the_Supermatter#Box_and_Meta_station_setup|laughably simple]]. Make certain you follow the instructions precisely; an engineer who accidentally unleashes the fury of a supermatter engine is not a popular person.
===[[File:SMES Charging.gif]] Starting The Other Engines===
You may find yourself on a station designated to draw power from a critical mass contained in an energy field. Please refer to either [[Singularity Engine]] or [[Tesla Engine]].
===[[File:Solar tracker.png]] Working on the [[Solars]]===
Read the guide, make sure you have wire, internals and a space suit. Best of luck.
===[[File:Wrench.png]] [[Construction|Fixing the Station]]===
Is there a hole in the wall? Are floor tiles broken? Did an idiot break a window to get into the medbay? Are people complaining about electrified doors? Are cables torn up leading to an APC? Are the APC's themselves fried? Is it more than thirty seconds into the round? The answer to two or more of these is always yes.

''Quit reading "The Lusty Xenomorph Maid" and get to work!''
===[[File:Shockwarning.png]] Fixing the Power===
The main engine and/or the solars provide more than enough energy to fully power a state-of-the-art space station -- unless something goes wrong, which it almost always will. Whether it's due to shoddy wiring, a powersink, a bomb, an assistant cutting cables, a loose singularity or simple engineer laziness, power outages are a common problem that is your, YES, YOUR, job to fix. See that Power Monitoring computer? If people complain of power outages, it should always be the first port of call -- assuming it hasn't already been devoured by the rampaging maw of Lord Singuloth.

See the [[guide to power]] to learn how to into power and, more importantly, how to fix everything.
==[[File:Warningsign.png]] Getting the Man Out of Danger... Alive!==
It's your job to save lives when they cry out for help.
===[[File:Firesuit.png]] Firefighting===
Engineers get access to maintenance hallways, which contain several [[Engineering_items#Firesuit|firesuits]] and [[Engineering_items#Fire_Extinguisher|extinguishers]]. If a fire breaks out somewhere, put it out. [[Engineering_items#Firesuit|Firesuits]] allow you to walk in almost any fire. [[Engineering_items#Fire_Extinguisher|Extinguishers]] have a limited capacity. Refill them with water tanks, which can be found all around the station.
===[[File:Welder.png]] Physical Rescue===
If someone cries that he can't get out of somewhere and no one can get him out, then it's your job to do so. [[Hacking#Airlocks|Hacking airlocks]], [[Guide_to_construction#Walls_2|deconstructing walls]], basically whatever it takes to get to them. I don't need to point out that you should never put others or yourself at risk in doing so!
===[[File:Jetpack-black.gif]] Space Recovery ===
A body's been spaced? Now it's your job to recover it. Ask the AI or captain to get a jetpack and space suit from EVA and go after the body. You'll most frequently find bodies either somewhere near the derelict or the AI satellite. Drag them to a teleporter and get them back to the station. The use of lockers will help greatly, as lockers do not drift like bodies do, but cannot travel across Z-levels. ALWAYS have tools, glass and metal with you when doing this! Some teleporters need to be rebuilt and some bodies float around randomly and need [[Guide_to_construction#Floor|floor tiles]] to be build in their path to actually stop
==[[File:Evahelmet.png]] I have no suit and I must EVA==
Eventually, you'll be in the uncomforable situation where all hardsuits are gone, yet you have to fix the Supermatter cooling pipes or retrieve the Captain's frozen corpse from space. 
You'll need to protect against three things: The cold (burn damage), the lack of pressure (brute) and lack of oxygen (suffocation). 
There are a few ways you can do this:
===Cryo juice===
[[Guide_to_chemistry#Cryoxadone|Cryoxadone]] quickly heals damage in cold environments. Space is extremely cold - do the math. Ask medical for a beaker of their cryo juice, then vape (e-cig from hacked tobacco vendor) or chug the whole thing. 
That's it! You won't even need internals. 
This also helps a little against space carps and [[Nuclear Operative|other assholes]]. 
===Ghetto space suit===
Put on a Firesuit plus either a hardhat, firefighting hat or EVA helmet. Now you just need to keep warm. 
Grab some coffee, tea or hot chocolate from a vending machine. 
Even better - ask a [[Chemist]] for [[Guide_to_chemistry#Leporazine|Leporazine]] (stabilizes body temperature), the [[Bartender]] for Cafe Latte (better than regular coffee) or [[Botany]] for Capsaicin (heats your body).
===Ghetto space suit part two===
Can't find a Firesuit or cryo juice? Wear an explorer's suit or winter coat plus boots. This is much harder to pull off, since the lack of pressure hits you with a lot of brute damage. 
Grab a bunch of [[Guide_to_chemistry#Bicardine|Bicardine]], [[Guide_to_chemistry#Salicyclic Acid|Salicyclic Acid]], [[Guide_to_chemistry#Omnizine|Omnizine]], [[Guide_to_chemistry#Earthsblood|Earthsblood]] - anything that heals brute damage.
===O² is for nerds===
Lost your internals or oxygen tank? Both [[Guide_to_chemistry#Salbutamol|Salbutamol]] and [[Guide_to_chemistry#Perfluorodecalin|Perfluorodecalin]] heal suffocation damage quickly enough for you to spacewalk comfortably. 
[[Epinephrine]] from your epipen works in a pinch too.
===The Übermensch ===
The cold resistance mutation from [[Genetics]] protects against both cold and lack of pressure.
===Moving around in space===
Don't have a jetpack? Grab a fire extinguisher, a water tank and buckle yourself to a rolling chair. 
Or, grab a stack of many small items (metal rods, cable coil) that you can throw to propel yourself. 
You can build lattices in open space to instantly stop movement too.

==[[File:Light_Bulb.png]] Tips==
===The Engine/Power===
*The engineering hardsuit has 75% radiation protection. [[Chief_Engineer|CE's]] hardsuit has 90%. [[Atmospheric_Technician|Atmos]] hardsuit has 25%. [[Research_Director|RD's]] and [[Chief_Medical_Officer|CMO's]] have 60%. If working near an active [[Guide_to_the_Supermatter|Supermatter Engine]], use a radiation suit instead.
*Engines can be wired directly into the power grid; in the SMES rooms, each one has an input and an output. Connecting the two will cause the power to bypass the SMES cells. This is [[Traitor|extremely dangerous]], and can caused shocked doors to instantly put people into critical condition.
*Arriving half an hour into the round and nobody's set up power? Chances are all the SMES cells can be drained. However, you can still power Emitters and other equipment by loading the PACMAN generator with plasma, wiring it up and setting its output to full power.
*The P.A.C.M.A.N-type generators can each hold 450 sheets of their respective fuels once fully upgraded. Their fuel types and maximum upgraded outputs are as follows:
** P.A.C.M.A.N generator (Plasma) = 60000 W
**S.U.P.E.R.P.A.C.M.A.N generator (Uranium) = 180000 W
** M.R.S.P.A.C.M.A.N generator (Diamonds) = 480000 W
*Cell chargers give power to inserted cells faster than it takes power from the APC, meaning it generates some power from nothing, and you can alternate between two cell and keep an APC running forever! The wonders of space engineering.
===Construction===
*To get maximum camera coverage, you only have to place one camera every fifteen tiles. If there's a wall between them, use an analyzer on the assembly after you weld it to the wall to create an xray camera. Otherwise, count seven tiles from where the previous camera disappears from view and build a camera there.
*It is possible to upgrade the AI's cameras by using certain items: analysers confer X-ray vision, potentially allowing the AI to observe Maintenance areas; proximity sensors give their effect to the camera, alerting the AI when someone walks by. Plasma sheets will cause the camera to become EMP-proof.
* You can use an airlock circuit in your hand to modify its access requirements. Necessary if you're rebuilding doors to restricted areas such as the [[armory]] or [[bridge]].
*For most construction/deconstruction operations (Mining, wrenching chairs/tables, deconstructing walls) you can click on multiple spaces to take things apart or build multiple things at a time.
*You can put windows directly on grilles by using a glass/reinforced glass sheet on them.
*You can also pry up 4 floor tiles and weld them together to get a metal sheet, which you can grind down for iron. Glass for silicon. Reinforced glass for metal and silicon. Wood for carbon.
* You can screwdriver wooden flooring to remove it without breaking it.
*You can turn one color of wire into another color easily, so long as you have at least one piece of the color you want: You can transfer wires from a stack of another color you have to change their color.
*Need to set up the Supermatter? No CE or AI to open secure storage? Turn off the APC's main power breaker and crowbar the blast doors open. Keep in mind that this will also shut down pumps and filters.
*You can hack the YouTool to get upgraded industrial welding tools, which hold 80 units of fuel as opposed to normal tools' 20 and industrial's 40.
*You can buckle people ''cough cough the clown'' to the Singularity/Tesla Generator.

==[[File:Doubleagent.gif]] Traitorneering ==
"Lets do this Texas style!"

Being a [[traitor]] engineer can be both the easiest and hardest task on the station. On the one hand, you can go almost everywhere on the station, and have easy access to the tools to get rid of any pesky doors (or walls) in your way. Also, many crew members don't bat an eyelid when they see an engineer wearing a jetpack, or standing in a hole in the wall. Any curious crewmen are usually deflected by saying you are doing engineering work ("I need this to repair hull damage, Captain!")

On the other hand, Engineers lack weapons. <s>Stungloves, however, are the hidden weapon few ever search for, which can give the upper hand in a fight.</s> Stungloves are gone 5ever, but stun prods can be made from [[Makeshift weapons|basic tools]]! In addition, cable restraints may be constructed from cable coils. In a pinch, the welding tool is a fairly powerful weapon which causes burn damage when turned on. Secondly, engineers loitering near their target may quickly arouse suspicion, especially if you are far, far away from a maintenance tunnel. Engineers are also one of the few jobs which retain their maintenance access, making travel around the station significantly safer, faster and easier.

And finally, if you truly hate the station, it is within your grasp to release the <strike>kraken</strike> fury of the supermatter, and generally sabotage the power supply of the station.

[[File:Warningsign.png|32px]]'''Hey, Listen!'''[[File:Warningsign.png|32px]] '''[[Guide_to_the_Supermatter|For the Guide to setting up the Supermatter engine, click here.]] [[Singularity_and_Tesla_engines|For the Tesla and Singularity Engine, click here.]]'''
Effectively, you are an assistant on steroids, and need not fear any electrical things with your gloves. You can, however, affect the station, for good or for ill, much more profoundly than a mere [[assistant]] can. What sets you appart from the rest of the crew on the station is that you are the most equipped for constructing objects and machinery, repairing structural damage, and are best equiped crewmembers for E.V.A. missions in the cold of [[Space]].
'''Bare minimum requirements:''' Fix hull breaches, fix cables/[[Engineering_items#Equipment|APCs]] if power goes out in an area. Know how [[Solars]] and [[Engineering_items#Equipment|SMES]] work. '''Resist the temptation to run off with a hardsuit at roundstart.''' 
'''Basic skills:''' [[Guide_to_the_Supermatter|Set up the engine]] without killing everyone. [[Construction#Airlock|Fix emagged airlocks]] and rebuild [[Machinery|machines]]. Familiarize yourself with [[Hacking]]. 
'''Advanced skills:''' Detect and fix sabotage - [[Guide_to_Telecommunications|Telecomms]], the engine, power sinks. Know enough about [[Guide_to_Atmospherics|Atmospherics]] to stop a plasma flood. 
==[[File:RigHelmet.png]] The Engineer==
===[[File:Paper.png]] Engineering Etiquette===
Take a look around engineering as the first thing you do, and see how many fellow engineers you have. If there's a ton, you probably don't want to snatch up everything that isn't nailed down. Don't fight over hardsuits. Don't try to break into the middle of a task someone has already begun: trying to fill plasma tanks at the same time as another person usually ends up filling engineering with plasma, and trying to turn on containment at the same time as someone is often lethal.

Be nice and courteous and you'll often be treated well, curse people out for their incompetence or how slow they are and people aren't going to rush to your retrieve your corpse when syndicates blow your head off on the solars.
===[[File:Engiepack.png]] Engineering Equipment===
Engineers have to carry a lot of equipment to perform their various tasks. The job is a lot easier if you carry around what you need so you don't constantly have to be running back to engineering for each step of a repair process.

Here's a suggestion how you can be prepared for shit on the space station:
[[File:engineer_loadout.png|thumb|664px|This is an image of the tools every engineer should be trusted to have on him at all times. Empty pockets can be used for tools, flashlights, etc]]
[[File:engineer_rig_loadout.png|thumb|664px|And if you're planning to go fix stuff in space]]
{| class="wikitable" style="background-color: #eeccaa"
! style="background-color: #ddaa77;" | Container
! style="background-color: #ddaa77;" |Contents
|- align="center"
|[[File:Utilitybelt.png|62px]] '''[[Utility Belts|Tool Belt]]'''
|[[File:engineer_toolbelt_contents.png|448px]] Screwdriver, wrench, wirecutters, multitool, cable coil, crowbar, welding tool.

|[[File:Engineer_box_contents.png|448px]] Breath mask, epinephrine medipen, T-ray scanner, airlock electronics, power control module, cable coil, flashlight.
|}
Some of this you start with, some you need to collect. The items you pick up are:
*[[File:IGloves.png]] '''Insulated Gloves:''' Your most prized possession, these puppies protect you from shock. Engineers work with insane amounts of electricity, and it's easy to put yourself into crit if you tap into the main engine line without remembering to put them on. Always grab a pair of gloves. There's a few pairs laying around engineering, and more in the electrical closet. Lock the closet when you're done unless you want the clown and mime to steal all the remaining pairs.

*[[File:Welder.png]] '''Industrial Welding Tool:''' Grab this from the welding locker next to the electronics locker; it has double the capacity of a normal welding tool. Throw the normal one you have on the floor to be like every engineer ever (or put it away neatly for bonus points from the CE).

*[[File:WeldingHelmet.png]] '''Welding Mask:''' You need this to avoid going blind while welding. Note if you have the hardsuit on, it works as a welding mask you don't have to flip up/flip down.

*[[File:Metal.png]][[File:Glass.png]] '''Metal & Glass:''' Basic building blocks. Carrying just one stack each is generally fine; convert it into floor tiles, bars, or reinforced glass as necessary. If you take one stack to yourself, pay close attention to the radio so you know where they are needed.

*[[File:MGlasses.png]] '''Engineering Scanner Goggles''' These have three modes: Meson mode allows vision of structures and terrain through walls; T-ray mode allows vision of objects beneath flooring such as cables and pipes; and Radiation mode reveals objects contaminated from radiation.

*[[File:Gas_mask.png]] '''Gas mask:''' Basically the same function as a breath mask, but with the added bonus of protecting you from pepper spray, acid sprays to the face (once), and some of the diseases the [[Virologist|virologist]] inevitably releases. Also keeps you on your feet a little longer in high concentrations of N2O, so make sure you have one in your inventory if not on your face for roleplay reasons. Note, syndicate voice changer looks exactly like it, so don't be surprised if Security asks you to take off your mask to verify you are who you say you are. You can find them in engineering lockers, laying around in engineering and in maintenance tunnels.

*[[File:Extended_Emergency_Oxygen_Tank.png]] '''Extended-capacity emergency oxygen tank:''' These canisters hold a LOT of air. The hardsuits can hold full-sized canisters which hold more, but two of these filled up in your bag and there's very little chance of you ever running out of air. '''To fill up:''' place it in the oxygen tank, click the oxygen tank and turn the pressure all the way up, open the valve, then close the valve. Once you're sure it's closed, remove the tank. Click the tank in your hand and lower the mask pressure to 16 KPA, which will give you the most possible use.

*[[File:Power_cell.png]] '''Power Cell:''' Needed to repair a fully broken APC, or just get an APC working in a drained area. Good to have one on hand.

*'''Inducer:''' The Electromagnetic Power Inducer can be used to charge objects like APCs, cyborgs, and [[Weapons#Longarm (Energy)|energy-based weapons]] without replacing their power cells.

*'''Rapid Construction Device:''' RCDs can be used to create or destroy simple objects such as walls, doors and windows without using tools on them. Cannot construct/deconstruct reinforced walls.

*[[File:Flashlight.png]] '''Flashlights:''' These light up the area, even in your pockets. Two flashlights in your pockets and your helmet light on and you'll light up a huge area, very helpful to general crew when you're doing repairs in a freshly-darkened crater so they don't walk into the vacuum and freeze.

*[[File:Hazard.png]] '''Hazard Vest:''' An archetypal item, it serves no purpose except roleplay and that you can buckle an extended capacity emergency oxygen tank to it. Definitely do so if you aren't in a hardsuit or firesuit.

*[[File:Circuitboard.png]] '''Power control module:''' You need this to repair a fully broken APC. Some sit by the SMES modules.

*[[File:Circuitboard.png]] '''Airlock electronics:''' You need this to construct an airlock. Having one on hand can save you a long trip back if you run across a broken door. Some by the metal and supplies, and one by the SMES modules.

*[[File:T-ray.gif]] '''T-ray Scanner:''' Click on it on your hand to activate. When activated it will reveal wires and pipes under the flooring, as well as Critters and Creatures inside pipes. Works in pockets and on your belt.
Firesuits can no longer be carried in bags, and it's unsafe to firefight without them, so just run to the nearest firefighter closet in the advent of a fire to gear up -- There is one close to nearly everything everywhere in the station, learn their locations.

Note that some of these are for roleplay reasons only. Roleplay too determines if you're a good engineer or not -- When talking with people face to face, pop the helmet off and carry it a bit -- hardsuits look pretty cool without the helmet on. Write down things you figure out like the door wires and photocopy them, distribute to the other engineering staff as a memo. Engineers have some great roleplay as the people that fix everything when everything else is going to hell. Take advantage of that camraderie and the ludicrous nature the situations you will find yourself in. A robotic mute-guy-fixing-everything playing style is efficient of course, but it isn't nearly as fun for everyone.
==[[File:Wrench.png]] Doing Your Duty==
You have a few things you should do, if you don't want to be [[robust]]ed, before doing what you want to do. Repairing things is what engineers do, and so is setting the station with power. Without any engineers doing a little work, the station will crumble.
===[[File:Supermatter shard.png]] [[Guide_to_the_Supermatter#Box_and_Meta_station_setup|Starting the Engine]]===
This is an extremely important task. Luckily, it is [[Guide_to_the_Supermatter#Box_and_Meta_station_setup|laughably simple]]. Make certain you follow the instructions precisely; an engineer who accidentally unleashes the fury of a supermatter engine is not a popular person.
===[[File:SMES Charging.gif]] Starting The Other Engines===
You may find yourself on a station designated to draw power from a critical mass contained in an energy field. Please refer to either [[Singularity Engine]] or [[Tesla Engine]].
===[[File:Solar tracker.png]] Working on the [[Solars]]===
Read the guide, make sure you have wire, internals and a space suit. Best of luck.
===[[File:Wrench.png]] [[Construction|Fixing the Station]]===
Is there a hole in the wall? Are floor tiles broken? Did an idiot break a window to get into the medbay? Are people complaining about electrified doors? Are cables torn up leading to an APC? Are the APC's themselves fried? Is it more than thirty seconds into the round? The answer to two or more of these is always yes.

''Quit reading "The Lusty Xenomorph Maid" and get to work!''
===[[File:Shockwarning.png]] Fixing the Power===
The main engine and/or the solars provide more than enough energy to fully power a state-of-the-art space station -- unless something goes wrong, which it almost always will. Whether it's due to shoddy wiring, a powersink, a bomb, an assistant cutting cables, a loose singularity or simple engineer laziness, power outages are a common problem that is your, YES, YOUR, job to fix. See that Power Monitoring computer? If people complain of power outages, it should always be the first port of call -- assuming it hasn't already been devoured by the rampaging maw of Lord Singuloth.

See the [[guide to power]] to learn how to into power and, more importantly, how to fix everything.
==[[File:Warningsign.png]] Getting the Man Out of Danger... Alive!==
It's your job to save lives when they cry out for help.
===[[File:Firesuit.png]] Firefighting===
Engineers get access to maintenance hallways, which contain several [[Engineering_items#Firesuit|firesuits]] and [[Engineering_items#Fire_Extinguisher|extinguishers]]. If a fire breaks out somewhere, put it out. [[Engineering_items#Firesuit|Firesuits]] allow you to walk in almost any fire. [[Engineering_items#Fire_Extinguisher|Extinguishers]] have a limited capacity. Refill them with water tanks, which can be found all around the station.
===[[File:Welder.png]] Physical Rescue===
If someone cries that he can't get out of somewhere and no one can get him out, then it's your job to do so. [[Hacking#Airlocks|Hacking airlocks]], [[Guide_to_construction#Walls_2|deconstructing walls]], basically whatever it takes to get to them. I don't need to point out that you should never put others or yourself at risk in doing so!
===[[File:Jetpack-black.gif]] Space Recovery ===
A body's been spaced? Now it's your job to recover it. Ask the AI or captain to get a jetpack and space suit from EVA and go after the body. You'll most frequently find bodies either somewhere near the derelict or the AI satellite. Drag them to a teleporter and get them back to the station. The use of lockers will help greatly, as lockers do not drift like bodies do, but cannot travel across Z-levels. ALWAYS have tools, glass and metal with you when doing this! Some teleporters need to be rebuilt and some bodies float around randomly and need [[Guide_to_construction#Floor|floor tiles]] to be build in their path to actually stop
==[[File:Evahelmet.png]] I have no suit and I must EVA==
Eventually, you'll be in the uncomforable situation where all hardsuits are gone, yet you have to fix the Supermatter cooling pipes or retrieve the Captain's frozen corpse from space. 
You'll need to protect against three things: The cold (burn damage), the lack of pressure (brute) and lack of oxygen (suffocation). 
There are a few ways you can do this:
===Cryo juice===
[[Guide_to_chemistry#Cryoxadone|Cryoxadone]] quickly heals damage in cold environments. Space is extremely cold - do the math. Ask medical for a beaker of their cryo juice, then vape (e-cig from hacked tobacco vendor) or chug the whole thing. 
That's it! You won't even need internals. 
This also helps a little against space carps and [[Nuclear Operative|other assholes]]. 
===Ghetto space suit===
Put on a Firesuit plus either a hardhat, firefighting hat or EVA helmet. Now you just need to keep warm. 
Grab some coffee, tea or hot chocolate from a vending machine. 
Even better - ask a [[Chemist]] for [[Guide_to_chemistry#Leporazine|Leporazine]] (stabilizes body temperature), the [[Bartender]] for Cafe Latte (better than regular coffee) or [[Botany]] for Capsaicin (heats your body).
===Ghetto space suit part two===
Can't find a Firesuit or cryo juice? Wear an explorer's suit or winter coat plus boots. This is much harder to pull off, since the lack of pressure hits you with a lot of brute damage. 
Grab a bunch of [[Guide_to_chemistry#Bicardine|Bicardine]], [[Guide_to_chemistry#Salicyclic Acid|Salicyclic Acid]], [[Guide_to_chemistry#Omnizine|Omnizine]], [[Guide_to_chemistry#Earthsblood|Earthsblood]] - anything that heals brute damage.
===O² is for nerds===
Lost your internals or oxygen tank? Both [[Guide_to_chemistry#Salbutamol|Salbutamol]] and [[Guide_to_chemistry#Perfluorodecalin|Perfluorodecalin]] heal suffocation damage quickly enough for you to spacewalk comfortably. 
[[Epinephrine]] from your epipen works in a pinch too.
===The Übermensch ===
The cold resistance mutation from [[Genetics]] protects against both cold and lack of pressure.
===Moving around in space===
Don't have a jetpack? Grab a fire extinguisher, a water tank and buckle yourself to a rolling chair. 
Or, grab a stack of many small items (metal rods, cable coil) that you can throw to propel yourself. 
You can build lattices in open space to instantly stop movement too.

==[[File:Light_Bulb.png]] Tips==
===The Engine/Power===
*The engineering hardsuit has 75% radiation protection. [[Chief_Engineer|CE's]] hardsuit has 90%. [[Atmospheric_Technician|Atmos]] hardsuit has 25%. [[Research_Director|RD's]] and [[Chief_Medical_Officer|CMO's]] have 60%. If working near an active [[Guide_to_the_Supermatter|Supermatter Engine]], use a radiation suit instead.
*Engines can be wired directly into the power grid; in the SMES rooms, each one has an input and an output. Connecting the two will cause the power to bypass the SMES cells. This is [[Traitor|extremely dangerous]], and can caused shocked doors to instantly put people into critical condition.
*Arriving half an hour into the round and nobody's set up power? Chances are all the SMES cells can be drained. However, you can still power Emitters and other equipment by loading the PACMAN generator with plasma, wiring it up and setting its output to full power.
*The P.A.C.M.A.N-type generators can each hold 450 sheets of their respective fuels once fully upgraded. Their fuel types and maximum upgraded outputs are as follows:
** P.A.C.M.A.N generator (Plasma) = 60000 W
**S.U.P.E.R.P.A.C.M.A.N generator (Uranium) = 180000 W
** M.R.S.P.A.C.M.A.N generator (Diamonds) = 480000 W
*Cell chargers give power to inserted cells faster than it takes power from the APC, meaning it generates some power from nothing, and you can alternate between two cell and keep an APC running forever! The wonders of space engineering.
===Construction===
*To get maximum camera coverage, you only have to place one camera every fifteen tiles. If there's a wall between them, use an analyzer on the assembly after you weld it to the wall to create an xray camera. Otherwise, count seven tiles from where the previous camera disappears from view and build a camera there.
*It is possible to upgrade the AI's cameras by using certain items: analysers confer X-ray vision, potentially allowing the AI to observe Maintenance areas; proximity sensors give their effect to the camera, alerting the AI when someone walks by. Plasma sheets will cause the camera to become EMP-proof.
* You can use an airlock circuit in your hand to modify its access requirements. Necessary if you're rebuilding doors to restricted areas such as the [[armory]] or [[bridge]].
*For most construction/deconstruction operations (Mining, wrenching chairs/tables, deconstructing walls) you can click on multiple spaces to take things apart or build multiple things at a time.
*You can put windows directly on grilles by using a glass/reinforced glass sheet on them.
*You can also pry up 4 floor tiles and weld them together to get a metal sheet, which you can grind down for iron. Glass for silicon. Reinforced glass for metal and silicon. Wood for carbon.
* You can screwdriver wooden flooring to remove it without breaking it.
*You can turn one color of wire into another color easily, so long as you have at least one piece of the color you want: You can transfer wires from a stack of another color you have to change their color.
*Need to set up the Supermatter? No CE or AI to open secure storage? Turn off the APC's main power breaker and crowbar the blast doors open. Keep in mind that this will also shut down pumps and filters.
*You can hack the YouTool to get upgraded industrial welding tools, which hold 80 units of fuel as opposed to normal tools' 20 and industrial's 40.
*You can buckle people ''cough cough the clown'' to the Singularity/Tesla Generator.

==[[File:Doubleagent.gif]] Traitorneering ==
"Lets do this Texas style!"

Being a [[traitor]] engineer can be both the easiest and hardest task on the station. On the one hand, you can go almost everywhere on the station, and have easy access to the tools to get rid of any pesky doors (or walls) in your way. Also, many crew members don't bat an eyelid when they see an engineer wearing a jetpack, or standing in a hole in the wall. Any curious crewmen are usually deflected by saying you are doing engineering work ("I need this to repair hull damage, Captain!")

On the other hand, Engineers lack weapons. <s>Stungloves, however, are the hidden weapon few ever search for, which can give the upper hand in a fight.</s> Stungloves are gone 5ever, but stun prods can be made from [[Makeshift weapons|basic tools]]! In addition, cable restraints may be constructed from cable coils. In a pinch, the welding tool is a fairly powerful weapon which causes burn damage when turned on. Secondly, engineers loitering near their target may quickly arouse suspicion, especially if you are far, far away from a maintenance tunnel. Engineers are also one of the few jobs which retain their maintenance access, making travel around the station significantly safer, faster and easier.

And finally, if you truly hate the station, it is within your grasp to release the <strike>kraken</strike> fury of the supermatter, and generally sabotage the power supply of the station.

[[File:Primary Tool Storage.png|thumb|300px|The [[Primary Tool Storage]]. The Assistants natural environment.]]
Assistants are the most versatile and expendable workers on the station. They are recommended to new-comers who have read or are reading [[New Players|''the tutorial'']] and are still getting their space legs.

Assistants begin their shifts around the station but usually congregate in [[Primary Tool Storage]], where they can acquire some basic tools such as screwdrivers and wrenches. If you are charismatic or lucky, the [[Head of Personnel]] can add more access to your [[Identification Card]]. With more access and perhaps a custom job title, perhaps you can find a purpose on the station at last.

Sometimes you are a God among men and sometimes you are dead within twelve seconds of round start. It all depends on how you set up and the luck of the station.

'''Bare minimum requirements:''' Don't be a total shitter.
==Actually Assisting People==
If you are an assistant and [[Beyond the impossible|wish to actually assist people]], you can try asking over the radio if anyone needs help with anything. This may or may not work. You can also approach people in person, which has a higher chance of success. Live out your dreams of being a 22-year-old coffee bitch intern IN SPACE!

Particularly helpful assistants may want to have a more permanent job on the station. The [[Head of Personnel|HoP]] can promote you to a position if you ask nicely and convince them that you're not a [[traitor]] (this is particularly useful if you are, in fact, a traitor). It helps if that job is urgent, like doctors when the crew is dying or engineers when the station is a hole in space. However, the HoP does not ''have'' to, and you will just have to live with that. Unless, of course, you're the [[traitor]].
==Duties? What Duties?==
Assistants are usually the most aware civilians on the station due to the fact they're constantly on the move. You'll find that that assistants make great informants!

Due to the lack of responsibility, you'll usually find that assistants are the ones responsible for renovating the bar with a dance floor or boxing ring, building cloning stations in firefighting closets, converting the dorms into interrogation rooms, and all other sorts of wacky projects.
===Gimmicks===
An assistant is also good job for playing a single-round gimmick.

==Ghost in the System (Antagonist)==
It's easy to stay under the radar as an assistant, as you have the least-respected job on the station (aside from [[Clown|that other guy]]). You have [[maintenance]] access, but to go anywhere else you need to be creative. Loot a belt and budget insulated gloves from [[Primary Tool Storage]] if you can and set out!

The number one advantage of traitor assistant is your opponent's arrogance. Security and other crew members will typically assume you are inexperienced or stupid, so surprise them with your knowledge of the game's mechanics.

This doesn't mean you won't run into a particularly savvy security member who knows the potential danger of an assistant, though. Keep alert at all times. In the rare case that someone actually asks you to assist them, draw them into a quiet place and execute them-
