==The Forgotten Power Source==
Solars often are fully neglected by but a few people, and for slightly dangerous reasons (covered in a lower section). BUT, They are the safest way to generate power for the whole station! And, if there was a black out of power already, they will always have power until hooked up, and can provide the [[Supermatter|engine]] APC a charge until it is set up itself.

===Locations===
There are four solar arrays on the station. The first, and easiest to configure, is on the rightmost side of the station just below the escape shuttle port (Aft Starboard Array). The second is located "north" of the chapel (Fore Starboard Array). The third can be found to the left of engineering (Aft Port Array). The fourth is best accessed by going through the left maintenance door of the tool storage area (Fore Port Array).

===Connecting the Arrays===
You need:
*Several [[cable_Coils|cable coils]]
*One [[space suit]] or hardsuit
*One [[crowbar]] to open doors if the power is out.
*Optionally, a large stack of [[metal]] from which to make floor tiles so as to protect your newly placed wiring from [[traitor|easy tampering]].

Nanotrasen engineers are renowned for their shoddy craftsmanship and poor work ethic. You will find that none of the four solar arrays have been connected to the station. You will need to connect the solar panels and the solar tracker to the wire leading from the station. To wire a tile, hold a cable coil in hand and click a tile. Connect the solar arrays and solar tracker to the station.

See [[Guide_to_construction#How_Do_I_Wire.3F|How Do I Wire]] for guide to how to wire.

===Calibrating the Arrays===

Once you have wired an array, you need to calibrate the tracking and power so that it actually produces energy. Apparently, our space station is rotating or in orbit around something (no one really knows for sure). This means that the solar panels need to constantly rotate to face toward the sun. Click on the [[Computers#Solars_Control|Solar Control CPU]] and set it to auto-tracking. You should see a degree displayed at the top ranging from 0 to 359; this is the current direction of the sun.

*0 degrees = North
*90 degrees = East
*180 degrees = South
*270 degrees = West

(The consoles are a bit glitchy so you might have to turn off auto-tracking then turn it on again before the panels start to rotate). Also, auto rotation is not smooth, it jumps about every 20 seconds. Keep this in mind if it seems like nothing is happening.

You don't need to use manual tracking!! The only time you will ever need to manually calibrate a solar array is when a meteor or traitor destroys the tracking unit.

It is important to note that '''THE STATION BLOCKS SUNLIGHT!''' This is the biggest cause of solar fail known to spessmen. When the panels of an array face the sun (and are correctly wired) they produce about 90,000 Watts of power. However, if the station is between the panels and the sun, they produce 0 Watts of power. This means that as the panels rotate with auto-tracking, they move through a series of power levels ranging from 90k (full sun) to nothing (station obscures sun). The rotation cycle takes roughly 5 minutes to complete.

Why is this important?

Because of the battery! See that big white thing in the solar control room? That's the SMES cell. It's a battery used for holding solar energy and transferring it to the station. Click on the battery and you get a window with input, output, and charging options.

===Important Battery Facts===

Solar batteries (SMES cells) start at 20% power but if the engine is off the station drains them to 0% in a few minutes. An input of 90,000 watts (full sun) might charge the battery for a little while, but once the sunlight is blocked by the station the battery charge begins to drain.

==== (Optional) Skipping the SMES Cells ====
You can optionally reroute the wiring and skip the whole battery setup! Just recognize two wires: The wire coming from the Solar Control CPU and going to the SMES cell, and the other wire coming from the SMES cell and going to the station power grid. Connect these two wires and voilá! You have skipped the SMES cell. No need to turn that pesky SMES on at all, just configure the Solar Control CPU and you're done, time to move to the next set of solars!

BUT there is one big downside to this: the station powergrid now holds about 400 kW of power, which is almost enough to put someone into instant crit. Not a good thing if you have [[Game_Mode#AI_Malfunction|shocked doors]] or [[Clown|someone]] exposes those electrified grilles inside windows.

===Setting up the SMES===

After you have wired the array, set tracking to auto, and verified that the panels are indeed rotating, set the battery like so:

Charging: Auto

Input: Maxed at 200 kW

Output: 50 kW

These four arms can provide enough energy to power the entire ship in the event of a [[Supermatter]] failure. But, given the position to the engine, the wires will likely be eaten away and you will have charging solars that aren't connected to the station.

==DANGER WILL ROBINSON==
There are a few dangers on the solars, one being the electrical wires if you forgot to wear insulated gloves: never forget or you will get zapped! In addition, you are vulnerable and alone. This leaves you an easy target for those pesky [[space carp]]s and/or space-walking [[traitor|attackers]] that need a new cover identity. Finally, there is the chance to misstep and go drifting off through space. This hazard is easily solved if you act quickly. Simply throw something in the direction of your flight path, like [[shoes]], or a [[pen]]. The equal and opposite reaction will start pushing you in the other direction!

===Setting up the SMES===

After you have wired the array, set tracking to auto, and verified that the panels are indeed rotating, set the battery like so:

Charging: Auto

Input: 80,000 watts

Output: OFF!!

You want to leave output off and let the battery charge before you send the power to the station. I recommend waiting for a charge of at least 10% (maybe more) before you turn on the output. The battery needs this charge to provide sustained power during the dark phase of the solar rotation. If the battery runs out of charge, you'll have to turn it on again or it will not provide power. While you wait for the battery to charge, you can wire up other solar arrays on the station.

Once the battery has some charge, you can set the output to 50,000 - 75,000 depending on how much power you need. (If the output load is equal to the output value you set, it means the station needs more power than it's getting. Crank it up!)

These four arms can provide enough energy to power the entire ship in the event of a [[Supermatter]] failure. But, given the position to the engine, the wires will likely be eaten away and you will have charging solars that aren't connected to the station.

Guide to power

2020-05-30T22:33:57Z

Robohobbit: /* SMES Properties */ Removed outdated information about SMES input levels.

{{Template:Needs revision | reason=This is ported from the Yogstation wiki. Needs a once-over for inaccuracies between servers, plus missing power values, plus revision for the additional SMES in engineering. Also needs Tesla info}}

= Introduction =

Understanding the intricacies of the power dynamic in the station is key to keeping the station in order. Many, especially the [[Head of Personnel|HoP]], believe that the [[Captain]] is the seat of power on the station. This is untrue as having the Captain wired into the station's power grid provides minimal power at best.

The real source of power comes from [[Engineering]] because without [[Station Engineer]]s to set up the power sources at the beginning of a shift, the station would cease to function normally and devolve into a degenerative society with no more power than a uncivilized horde of lowly [[Assistant]]s, who, it should be noted, also provide even less power when wired directly to the grid.

= Power Sources =

== [[Supermatter| Supermatter Engine]] ==
The supermatter is a giant pile of exotic material capable of emitting both ionizing radiation and (flammable) gases. While the generation of these elements is normally rather low, the supermatter can be "activated" into releasing more by, well, most anything: even gasses can start the delamination process if they hold enough energy (heat, usually). You see where this is going? That's right, self-induced chain reactions. Your main job as an engineer will be to cool the supermatter down to prevent it from exploding (luckily a very easy job), while simultaneously exciting it to harvest radiation pulses. It's not an unforgiving engine, some would say it's even too stable to sabotage in a timely manner; read the [[Supermatter| Guide]] carefully and it will be hard to mess it up.

== Singularity/Tesla Engine ==
[[File:Singularity_engine.png|thumb|300px]]
The singularity and tesla engines are the primary source of power only on [[PubbyStation]]. By harnessing either the radiant energy produced by a locally-controlled cosmic [[Singularity]] (otherwise known as a man-made black hole), or straight-up capturing the electric arcs from a giant ball of lightning, an enormous amount of energy can be generated for the station.

=== [[Singularity Engine]] ===
The usable power emitted by a singularity takes the form of ionizing radiation pulses. These can interact with the mysterious substance called "plasma" so as to generate electricity. The more plasma available, and the stronger and more frequent the pulses, the more power is generated. The net power output can be measured directly by using a multitool on the collector's wire, checking the first SMES unit connected for available power, or by looking it up on a power monitoring console (though the latter will give skewed results if other power sources such as solars are connected).

=== [[Tesla Engine]] ===
This giant ball of incandescent energy regularly regurgitates power in the form of electric arcs. These arcs can be partially captured by tesla generators, and will generally flow along the most conductive/least resisting path. Metal structures are prime target for its strikes, and grounding rods are the safest there is, drawing arcs to themselves and subsequently dissipating them into the whole station. The latter are regularly used to direct lighting through tesla generators, and are best deployed between the engine and anything you hold dear.

== Solar Arrays ==

[[File:Solars.png|thumb|300px]]
''See [[Solars]].''

The solar arrays act as a secondary power source. They are composed of 60 panels per array and there are 4 arrays on the station. Each panel can produce 1.5 kW of power for a total of 90 kW per array.

The solar arrays only produce power when directly facing the local star. (The star is off-screen from the station and cannot be located by the player directly.) A solar tracking module can be wired into the solar array circuitry and, with the help of a solar power console, the solar panels can be made to automatically track the local star, which maximizes the power generation for each panel. However, as the station revolves around the star (which, again, is unseen by the player), the solar arrays often land in the shadow of the station which negatively affects solar power generation at the affected arrays. This effectively gives the solar arrays a solar day-night cycle, where it generates power during the day cycle and does not generate power during the night cycle. Because of the solar cycle, a given array will be able to generate power about 50% (estimated but unconfirmed) of the time, which can be translated to an average 45 kW per unit time, rather than the full 90 kW.

The solar panels themselves can be, and often are, broken by debris floating in space. Each broken panel reduces the total power generation of the array.

The solar arrays can typically power the entire station on their own, once the arrays are wired properly.

{| class="wikitable"
|+ Solar Power Generated
! colspan = "2"|Maximum !! Average
|+
! per panel !! per array !! per array
|-
| 1500 W (1.5 kW) || 90000 W (90 kW) || 45000 W (45 kW)
|}

=== Connecting Solars to the Grid ===

There are two main schools of thought when wiring the solar arrays:

* use the Solar SMESs to distribute power into the grid
* wire the solar array directly into the power grid

==== Distributing via SMESs ====

Distributing solar power through the SMESs is the generally preferred method of wiring the solars, mainly because it provides a steady power output and requires no extra wiring. One benefit of the pre-laid wiring to the SMES is that during a night cycle of the solar array the Engineer does not need insulated gloves to wire the solar array.

The maximum power generation of a typical solar array is 90 kW, and it is advised to set SMES inputs to the maximum 200 kW.

The output on the SMES should be at most 50% of the 90 kW generated by the cells due to the revolution of the station around the local star (percentage estimated but unconfirmed). Since the solar has to collect enough energy in the day cycle of the array to output for both day and night, it's usually good to round down a little more. Additionally, if the solar is initially wired during its day cycle, it typically won't be able to collect enough to keep it charged for the first night cycle, resulting in a little bit of lag in the output of the solars.
For example, if the solar cells generate 85500 W (85.5 kW), the output shouldn't be bigger than 42750 W (42.75 kW). Typically, 40 kW is a good round number for long-term power output.

If more power storage is desired, say in the initial stage of the set-up, the engineer may want to reduce or even eliminate power output for the first few solar cycles, before setting the long-term power output.

Once all four Solar SMESs are adequately charged and outputting long-term power, they will provide a very dependable power output with almost no oversight needed. In our example, the station would receive 160 kW (4 arrays x 40 kW SMES output) from solars, which is usually more than enough to sustain the station on its own without the engine. This system is also modular, so that even if only three out of four Solar SMESs are used, the total power output is reduced accordingly but still completely steady.

That being said, if unchecked, power sinks can drain the solar SMESs, which if depleted would need to go through a solar cycle again before being able to provide steady, adequate power to the station.

The biggest failure of the Solar SMES system is more often the fault of the Engineer, not the power sink. A rookie Engineer usually forgets to set input levels and output levels to meaningfully sustain the station.

'''Pros:''' Steady power supply, no additional wiring necessary, stores power, modular, does not require insulated gloves.

'''Cons:''' Lag due to first night cycle and initial SMES charging, prone to being set up improperly, some power loss to correct for potentially broken panels, can be drained by power sinks.

==== Wiring to the Grid ====

Wiring the solar arrays directly to the grid is often used as a more straight-forward approach to hooking up the solars, which benefits the Engineer by bypassing the intricacies of the SMES and generating a generally larger power output but at the expense of a less steady, less modular electrical source. This is often helpful in the emergency circumstances where the supermatter crystal has delaminated, taking out the whole of Engineering with it, or when the Singularity or Tesla gets loose.

To achieve this, the Engineer usually just wires together the cable leading from the array directly to the cable leading out from the solar maintenance room. Typically, insulated gloves are a necessity since the Engineer will need to tap the solar power lines into the main power grid. However, as easy as that sounds, rookie Engineers tend to mangle the wiring so much that the array power lines never make it to the grid.

Once all the arrays are wired, and because of the day-night cycle, on average, about two solar arrays worth of power will be generated at any given time, equating to about 180 kW of power. However, the exact number will fluctuate depending on how much light reaches individual panels. Additionally, if not all of the solars are wired to the grid, the output will be drastically lower and may cause brown outs in the station.

On the plus side, wiring the solars directly to the grid prevents wiring sabotage since anyone cutting the wires also needs insulated gloves. Also, power sinks pose little risk as the solar power is immediate and not distributed from an SMES.

'''Pros:''' Straight-forward explanation, avoids setting SMES, deters sabotage, acts as primary power source, not prone to power sinks.

'''Cons:''' Minor fluctuations in power if fully implemented, severe fluctuations if incompletely implemented, requires insulated gloves, often incorrectly wired.

==== Dual-Wiring: The Best of Both Worlds ====

There is another, less used option that utilizes the benefits from both wiring ideologies while mitigating the risk: dual-wire the solar arrays both to the Solar SMESs and directly into the grid at the same time.

Initially, the Engineer would want to charge the SMESs enough to where they could give an adequate supply of power. Then, if the Engineer is skilled enough at wiring, both the SMES and the solar arrays can be wired to the grid at the same time. Since the station only draws about 150 kW, but the solars wired to grid produce 180 kW, there's a spare 30 kW to split between the Solar SMESs for recharging. Setting all four Solar SMESs to charge at 6 kW is feasible (reduced from 7.5 kW to account for broken solar panels). The output setting on the SMES can be any value so long as the station draws full power from the solars wired directly. This effectively makes the Solar SMESs a backup power source.

The drawbacks though are that the Solar SMES input levels should not be put higher than 6 kW since a Solar SMES located at an array going through the night cycle will attempt to draw power from a Solar SMES higher upstream in the [[#power queue]], cannibalizing the power from that SMES.

Also, the 2 conventional Backup SMESs can't be charged for the same reason of the power queue. However, since the 4 Solar SMESs act as backups, this trade-off is in favor of the dual-wiring of the solars.

The Solar SMESs will still be prone to power sinks, but since the solars are wired directly to the grid it doesn't matter much.

The drawback that all solars must be wired directly to the grid to prevent severe fluctuation. The same is not true of the SMES-side of this set-up. Each SMES acts like an independent backup, so any undesired SMESs don't have to be set, making the system semi-modular.

'''Pros:''' acts primary and backup power source, deters sabotage, resistant to power sinks, semi-modular, resistant to brownouts

'''Cons:''' severe fluctuations if incompletely implemented, requires insulated gloves, often incorrectly wired, requires initial charging and follow up on the SMESs before implementation

== Gas Turbine Generator ==

[[File:Incinerator.png|thumb]]
''See: [[Incinerator]]''

The gas turbine generator is a tertiary power source that was recently installed in the incinerator. By utilizing the temperature differential between very hot air and very cold air, the turbine generator is able to create a nominal amount of electricity. The hot air is created by burning plasma and oxygen gas mixtures. The cold air is creating by passing air through cooling tubes located in space.

Although it's usually the last power source set up on the station, it's the only power source that can be accessed by Atmospherics. Also, they're the only ones who can turn on and mix the gas feed needed to sustain the generator without the use of gas canisters. The exact gas mixture for optimal power generation is unknown at this point, but some Engineers have reported values as high as 100 kW and in typical Engineer fashion forgot to write down their recipe. Be prepared to field questions from <s>overprotective</s> proactive [[AI]]s who notice plasma in the mixtank.

== Portable Generators ==

Portable generators are failsafes when all other systems fail. They require fuel that is fed directly into the generator by hand. The type of fuel is dependent which type of generator is being used.

Portable generators can be upgraded using parts created by a protolathe.

{| class="wikitable"
|+ Fuel Required by Portable Generator Type
! Type !! Fuel
|-
| P.A.C.M.A.N. Portable Generator || Plasma
|-
| M.R.S.P.A.C.M.A.N. Portable Generator || Diamond
|-
| S.U.P.E.R.P.A.C.M.A.N. Portable Generator || Uranium
|}

One PACMAN generator is located in the SMES room, with plasma located in secure storage, and it is suggested to use it while setting up the singularity or tesla to prevent early release.

== Power Cells ==

Power cells are used to power devices smaller than the station such as APCs and cyborgs. Constructed with a protolathe, typical power cells come in several different flavors, in increasing capacity: the default power cell, the high-capacity power cell, the super-capacity power cell, or the hyper-capacity power cell.

There are also atypical cells such as a potato cell and a slime core cell.

== Power Grid ==

To most people they're just wires that burn the shit out of you when you try to cut them without wearing insulated gloves. But really, the power grid is the electrical backbone of the station, powering everything from the emitters containing the singularity to the APC that controls the bathrooms in the locker room that you never go to. Also, it burns the shit out of you if you try to cut it without wearing insulated gloves.

== SMES ==

[[File:SMES_Charging.gif]]

A Superconducting Magnetic Energy Storage (SMES) Cell is the spess version of a giant rechargeable battery. The standard set-up for an SMES involves:

1. a wiring input from a power source, such as Solars or the Singularity Engine, or from the power grid itself, in the case of the Backups SMESs, and

2. a wiring output to the local power grid, or to a closed system like the AI or mining stations

=== SMES Properties ===

SMES have a modifiable storage capacity, dependent on the [[power cell]]s installed in the SMES upon fabrication. All SMESs present at the beginning of a typical shift have a default capacity of 3.33 MW.

{| class ="wikitable"

SMES input (charging) and output levels can be modified using [[capacitor]]s. All SMESs present at the beginning of a typical shift have a basic capacitor with default i/o levels of 200 kW.

{| class ="wikitable"
|+ SMES Input/Output Levels vs Capacitor

|-
| Super || 600000 W (600 kW) || 600000 W (600 kW)
|}

SMESs will only output when the level of charge is above the output level specified on the SMES settings panel.

== [[APC|APCs]] ==

[[File:APC2.gif]]

APCs, or Automated Power Controllers, are found on the walls of the room they're powering or, more likely, in maintenance just outside the room. They can be used to toggle the room's equipment, lighting and environmental (a.k.a. ventilation) systems on and off.

= Concepts =

== System Power ==

System power is the amount of power available to the station at any given time. Power is made available through charged SMESs outputting power and through immediate power from power sources wired directly to the grid.

(System Power) = (Total Output Power of SMESs) + (Power Sources Wired to the Grid)

== Power Queue ==

To maintain a stable source of power for station equipment, the station power grid follows a ''power queue'' where an electrical component with higher rank on the queue has its power draw from the grid evaluated before an electrical component with a lower priority. APCs are typically the lowest priority since they only draw power, while the power sources on the station are the highest priority since they only produce power.

=== Power Output and the Power Queue ===

The most visible effect of the power queue is that if there is not enough output power available on the grid because a component with higher rank is requesting it, then a lower rank component will not charge. For example, if the Backup SMESs are set to input 200 kW each from the grid and the APCs draw 150 kW, but the grid only provides 250 kW total, then the second Backup SMES will not charge and around two out of three APCs will go unpowered as well.

=== SMES Charging and the Power Queue ===

[[File:SMES_Room_markup.png|thumb|right|400px|The three Singlo SMESs in the SMES Room.]]

Similarly, if a higher rank component has a high enough output level to handle the station's power draw, then the station will draw all of its power from the higher rank component instead of splitting the draw with a lower rank component. This phenomenon is seen often when the singlo is set up. An unaware Engineer will purposefully set all three Singlo SMESs to output at a very high value, say 100 kW, or 300 kW, thinking that this will be more than enough to power the station. While this is technically correct, it isn't advised since it slows down the time it takes until all SMESs are completely full.

An example is the best way to see this. The total power draw on the station is usually near 150 kW. This means the station will draw 100 kW from Singlo SMES #1, 50 kW from Singlo SMES #2, and 0 kW from Singlo SMES #3, resulting in different charging rates of the SMESs. Since SMESs have a capacity of 3,333,333 W (3.33 MW) and assuming an input level of 200 kW, it should take 33.3 cycles before all the SMESs are completely charged (9.99 MW total power stored).

A better way is to set output levels on Singlo SMESs #1 and #2 to a third of the total power draw of the station (here, 50 kW), while allowing the remainder (also, 50 kW) to draw from Singlo SMES #3, which would be set higher than that to account for power fluctuations. For the same case where the total draw was 150 kW, we would set SMES #1 and #2 to 50 kW and SMES #3 to something higher like 200 kW. This would have all three SMESs charged in 22.2 cycles -- 33% faster than the situation above.

= ENGINEERING WHY ARE WE LOSING POWER =

Sooner or later, on every barely functional space station, the power will go out. This is where you - YES, YOU, YOU LAZY FUCK - come in and call out to recall that shuttle because you can fix it! Power can go out for many reasons. Your first port of call should be the Power Monitoring console in engineering, assuming it still exists. Then, ask yourself what's going on:

*'''Power goes out everywhere, in under 10 seconds or so?''' This is most likely a power sink. Power sinks have the odd quirk of still powering the area they are placed in, so your best bet is to get searching for somewhere where the lights are still on, or if it's in maint, where you don't have to crowbar the doors.
*'''Power goes out everywhere, but gradually, section by section?''' This means there's a problem in Engineering itself as the rest of the station is being topped up with charge. It'll be immediately obvious if the engine isn't on/has escaped. Your next port of call should be the SMES cells. Check they're outputting enough power to overcome the drain OR if no APCs are showing on the Power Monitoring computer, it means a wire has been cut either inside or immediately outside the Engineering area and is not being supplied to the rest of the station.
*'''Power is out across a small area?''' This is most commonly a broken wire, the easiest way to find it is with familiarity with the power-net and using that in conjunction with the power monitoring computer. If an area has had all wires sending power to it snipped, its APCs will no longer show on the power monitoring computer. For example, if Medbay as a whole has lost power and isn't showing any of its APCs on the power monitor, the wire cut is most likely in the maint tunnel behind Medbay. The more familiar you become with the power nets, the quicker you will be able to work out where the break is and be able to recognize common spots used.
*'''Power is out across 2 small rooms or in one room?''' This is most likely an APC that has been tampered with in some way. Either hacked by an AI/Saboteur, destroyed somehow or just had its cell ripped out. Again, if the APC doesn't show up on the Power Monitoring computer, it means it's been severed from the power net and wire either inside that room or very close to the APC has been cut.
*'''Power is intermittent across the station. Stuff turns off for a while, starts working, then goes off again?''' Your SMES aren't outputting enough power to keep the APCs charged. This happens most often when the output is just under the drain so therefore some APCs get enough power, while others don't.
*'''The smes'es cycle between getting power and not getting power for seemingly no reason''' Bug. admin help it. Can be fixed by admins by restarting the master controller.
*'''Power isn't actually out?''' Either someone is crying wolf or something else has happened to make it ''look'' like power went out, most likely an [[Random_event#Electrical_Storm|electrical storm]].

Now that you know what's wrong with power, it's your job to [[Beyond the impossible|fix it]]! If the singularity is about to be fucked, ''TURN OFF THE PA IMMEDIATELY'' (it may be worth asking the AI) and wire solars, if they aren't already wired. It might also be necessary to replace equipment. There is a PACMAN located in the SMES room and a spare SMES unit located in [[Electrical Maintenance]], both of which no one ever remembers. You could also rebuild everything. The tools to build a new SMES are located in [[Tech Storage]], and cargo can order new solar equipment and even a new goddamn PA! ...Assuming they haven't already done so and pointed it your way, that is.

Guide to power

Robohobbit: /* Distributing via SMESs */ Removed outdated information about SMES input levels.

{{Template:Needs revision | reason=This is ported from the Yogstation wiki. Needs a once-over for inaccuracies between servers, plus missing power values, plus revision for the additional SMES in engineering. Also needs Tesla info}}

= Introduction =

Understanding the intricacies of the power dynamic in the station is key to keeping the station in order. Many, especially the [[Head of Personnel|HoP]], believe that the [[Captain]] is the seat of power on the station. This is untrue as having the Captain wired into the station's power grid provides minimal power at best.

The real source of power comes from [[Engineering]] because without [[Station Engineer]]s to set up the power sources at the beginning of a shift, the station would cease to function normally and devolve into a degenerative society with no more power than a uncivilized horde of lowly [[Assistant]]s, who, it should be noted, also provide even less power when wired directly to the grid.

= Power Sources =

== [[Supermatter| Supermatter Engine]] ==
The supermatter is a giant pile of exotic material capable of emitting both ionizing radiation and (flammable) gases. While the generation of these elements is normally rather low, the supermatter can be "activated" into releasing more by, well, most anything: even gasses can start the delamination process if they hold enough energy (heat, usually). You see where this is going? That's right, self-induced chain reactions. Your main job as an engineer will be to cool the supermatter down to prevent it from exploding (luckily a very easy job), while simultaneously exciting it to harvest radiation pulses. It's not an unforgiving engine, some would say it's even too stable to sabotage in a timely manner; read the [[Supermatter| Guide]] carefully and it will be hard to mess it up.

== Singularity/Tesla Engine ==
[[File:Singularity_engine.png|thumb|300px]]
The singularity and tesla engines are the primary source of power only on [[PubbyStation]]. By harnessing either the radiant energy produced by a locally-controlled cosmic [[Singularity]] (otherwise known as a man-made black hole), or straight-up capturing the electric arcs from a giant ball of lightning, an enormous amount of energy can be generated for the station.

=== [[Singularity Engine]] ===
The usable power emitted by a singularity takes the form of ionizing radiation pulses. These can interact with the mysterious substance called "plasma" so as to generate electricity. The more plasma available, and the stronger and more frequent the pulses, the more power is generated. The net power output can be measured directly by using a multitool on the collector's wire, checking the first SMES unit connected for available power, or by looking it up on a power monitoring console (though the latter will give skewed results if other power sources such as solars are connected).

=== [[Tesla Engine]] ===
This giant ball of incandescent energy regularly regurgitates power in the form of electric arcs. These arcs can be partially captured by tesla generators, and will generally flow along the most conductive/least resisting path. Metal structures are prime target for its strikes, and grounding rods are the safest there is, drawing arcs to themselves and subsequently dissipating them into the whole station. The latter are regularly used to direct lighting through tesla generators, and are best deployed between the engine and anything you hold dear.

== Solar Arrays ==

[[File:Solars.png|thumb|300px]]
''See [[Solars]].''

The solar arrays act as a secondary power source. They are composed of 60 panels per array and there are 4 arrays on the station. Each panel can produce 1.5 kW of power for a total of 90 kW per array.

The solar arrays only produce power when directly facing the local star. (The star is off-screen from the station and cannot be located by the player directly.) A solar tracking module can be wired into the solar array circuitry and, with the help of a solar power console, the solar panels can be made to automatically track the local star, which maximizes the power generation for each panel. However, as the station revolves around the star (which, again, is unseen by the player), the solar arrays often land in the shadow of the station which negatively affects solar power generation at the affected arrays. This effectively gives the solar arrays a solar day-night cycle, where it generates power during the day cycle and does not generate power during the night cycle. Because of the solar cycle, a given array will be able to generate power about 50% (estimated but unconfirmed) of the time, which can be translated to an average 45 kW per unit time, rather than the full 90 kW.

The solar panels themselves can be, and often are, broken by debris floating in space. Each broken panel reduces the total power generation of the array.

The solar arrays can typically power the entire station on their own, once the arrays are wired properly.

=== Connecting Solars to the Grid ===

There are two main schools of thought when wiring the solar arrays:

* use the Solar SMESs to distribute power into the grid
* wire the solar array directly into the power grid

==== Distributing via SMESs ====

Distributing solar power through the SMESs is the generally preferred method of wiring the solars, mainly because it provides a steady power output and requires no extra wiring. One benefit of the pre-laid wiring to the SMES is that during a night cycle of the solar array the Engineer does not need insulated gloves to wire the solar array.

The maximum power generation of a typical solar array is 90 kW, and it is advised to set SMES inputs to the maximum 200 kW.

The output on the SMES should be at most 50% of the 90 kW generated by the cells due to the revolution of the station around the local star (percentage estimated but unconfirmed). Since the solar has to collect enough energy in the day cycle of the array to output for both day and night, it's usually good to round down a little more. Additionally, if the solar is initially wired during its day cycle, it typically won't be able to collect enough to keep it charged for the first night cycle, resulting in a little bit of lag in the output of the solars.
For example, if the solar cells generate 85500 W (85.5 kW), the output shouldn't be bigger than 42750 W (42.75 kW). Typically, 40 kW is a good round number for long-term power output.

If more power storage is desired, say in the initial stage of the set-up, the engineer may want to reduce or even eliminate power output for the first few solar cycles, before setting the long-term power output.

Once all four Solar SMESs are adequately charged and outputting long-term power, they will provide a very dependable power output with almost no oversight needed. In our example, the station would receive 160 kW (4 arrays x 40 kW SMES output) from solars, which is usually more than enough to sustain the station on its own without the engine. This system is also modular, so that even if only three out of four Solar SMESs are used, the total power output is reduced accordingly but still completely steady.

That being said, if unchecked, power sinks can drain the solar SMESs, which if depleted would need to go through a solar cycle again before being able to provide steady, adequate power to the station.

The biggest failure of the Solar SMES system is more often the fault of the Engineer, not the power sink. A rookie Engineer usually forgets to set input levels and output levels to meaningfully sustain the station.

'''Pros:''' Steady power supply, no additional wiring necessary, stores power, modular, does not require insulated gloves.

'''Cons:''' Lag due to first night cycle and initial SMES charging, prone to being set up improperly, some power loss to correct for potentially broken panels, can be drained by power sinks.

==== Wiring to the Grid ====

Wiring the solar arrays directly to the grid is often used as a more straight-forward approach to hooking up the solars, which benefits the Engineer by bypassing the intricacies of the SMES and generating a generally larger power output but at the expense of a less steady, less modular electrical source. This is often helpful in the emergency circumstances where the supermatter crystal has delaminated, taking out the whole of Engineering with it, or when the Singularity or Tesla gets loose.

To achieve this, the Engineer usually just wires together the cable leading from the array directly to the cable leading out from the solar maintenance room. Typically, insulated gloves are a necessity since the Engineer will need to tap the solar power lines into the main power grid. However, as easy as that sounds, rookie Engineers tend to mangle the wiring so much that the array power lines never make it to the grid.

Once all the arrays are wired, and because of the day-night cycle, on average, about two solar arrays worth of power will be generated at any given time, equating to about 180 kW of power. However, the exact number will fluctuate depending on how much light reaches individual panels. Additionally, if not all of the solars are wired to the grid, the output will be drastically lower and may cause brown outs in the station.

On the plus side, wiring the solars directly to the grid prevents wiring sabotage since anyone cutting the wires also needs insulated gloves. Also, power sinks pose little risk as the solar power is immediate and not distributed from an SMES.

'''Pros:''' Straight-forward explanation, avoids setting SMES, deters sabotage, acts as primary power source, not prone to power sinks.

'''Cons:''' Minor fluctuations in power if fully implemented, severe fluctuations if incompletely implemented, requires insulated gloves, often incorrectly wired.

==== Dual-Wiring: The Best of Both Worlds ====

There is another, less used option that utilizes the benefits from both wiring ideologies while mitigating the risk: dual-wire the solar arrays both to the Solar SMESs and directly into the grid at the same time.

Initially, the Engineer would want to charge the SMESs enough to where they could give an adequate supply of power. Then, if the Engineer is skilled enough at wiring, both the SMES and the solar arrays can be wired to the grid at the same time. Since the station only draws about 150 kW, but the solars wired to grid produce 180 kW, there's a spare 30 kW to split between the Solar SMESs for recharging. Setting all four Solar SMESs to charge at 6 kW is feasible (reduced from 7.5 kW to account for broken solar panels). The output setting on the SMES can be any value so long as the station draws full power from the solars wired directly. This effectively makes the Solar SMESs a backup power source.

The drawbacks though are that the Solar SMES input levels should not be put higher than 6 kW since a Solar SMES located at an array going through the night cycle will attempt to draw power from a Solar SMES higher upstream in the [[#power queue]], cannibalizing the power from that SMES.

Also, the 2 conventional Backup SMESs can't be charged for the same reason of the power queue. However, since the 4 Solar SMESs act as backups, this trade-off is in favor of the dual-wiring of the solars.

The Solar SMESs will still be prone to power sinks, but since the solars are wired directly to the grid it doesn't matter much.

The drawback that all solars must be wired directly to the grid to prevent severe fluctuation. The same is not true of the SMES-side of this set-up. Each SMES acts like an independent backup, so any undesired SMESs don't have to be set, making the system semi-modular.

'''Pros:''' acts primary and backup power source, deters sabotage, resistant to power sinks, semi-modular, resistant to brownouts

'''Cons:''' severe fluctuations if incompletely implemented, requires insulated gloves, often incorrectly wired, requires initial charging and follow up on the SMESs before implementation

== Gas Turbine Generator ==

[[File:Incinerator.png|thumb]]
''See: [[Incinerator]]''

The gas turbine generator is a tertiary power source that was recently installed in the incinerator. By utilizing the temperature differential between very hot air and very cold air, the turbine generator is able to create a nominal amount of electricity. The hot air is created by burning plasma and oxygen gas mixtures. The cold air is creating by passing air through cooling tubes located in space.

Although it's usually the last power source set up on the station, it's the only power source that can be accessed by Atmospherics. Also, they're the only ones who can turn on and mix the gas feed needed to sustain the generator without the use of gas canisters. The exact gas mixture for optimal power generation is unknown at this point, but some Engineers have reported values as high as 100 kW and in typical Engineer fashion forgot to write down their recipe. Be prepared to field questions from <s>overprotective</s> proactive [[AI]]s who notice plasma in the mixtank.

== Portable Generators ==

Portable generators are failsafes when all other systems fail. They require fuel that is fed directly into the generator by hand. The type of fuel is dependent which type of generator is being used.

Portable generators can be upgraded using parts created by a protolathe.

{| class="wikitable"

|-
| S.U.P.E.R.P.A.C.M.A.N. Portable Generator || Uranium
|}

One PACMAN generator is located in the SMES room, with plasma located in secure storage, and it is suggested to use it while setting up the singularity or tesla to prevent early release.

== Power Cells ==

Power cells are used to power devices smaller than the station such as APCs and cyborgs. Constructed with a protolathe, typical power cells come in several different flavors, in increasing capacity: the default power cell, the high-capacity power cell, the super-capacity power cell, or the hyper-capacity power cell.

There are also atypical cells such as a potato cell and a slime core cell.

== Power Grid ==

To most people they're just wires that burn the shit out of you when you try to cut them without wearing insulated gloves. But really, the power grid is the electrical backbone of the station, powering everything from the emitters containing the singularity to the APC that controls the bathrooms in the locker room that you never go to. Also, it burns the shit out of you if you try to cut it without wearing insulated gloves.

== SMES ==

[[File:SMES_Charging.gif]]

A Superconducting Magnetic Energy Storage (SMES) Cell is the spess version of a giant rechargeable battery. The standard set-up for an SMES involves:

1. a wiring input from a power source, such as Solars or the Singularity Engine, or from the power grid itself, in the case of the Backups SMESs, and

2. a wiring output to the local power grid, or to a closed system like the AI or mining stations

=== SMES Properties ===

SMES have a modifiable storage capacity, dependent on the [[power cell]]s installed in the SMES upon fabrication. All SMESs present at the beginning of a typical shift have a default capacity of 3.33 MW.

{| class ="wikitable"

SMES input (charging) and output levels can be modified using [[capacitor]]s. All SMESs present at the beginning of a typical shift have a basic capacitor with default i/o levels of 200 kW.

{| class ="wikitable"
|+ SMES Input/Output Levels vs Capacitor

|}

SMESs will only charge when the input power is equal or higher to the input levels specified on the SMES settings panel.

Likewise, SMESs will only output when the level of charge is above the output level specified on the SMES settings panel.

== [[APC|APCs]] ==

[[File:APC2.gif]]

APCs, or Automated Power Controllers, are found on the walls of the room they're powering or, more likely, in maintenance just outside the room. They can be used to toggle the room's equipment, lighting and environmental (a.k.a. ventilation) systems on and off.

= Concepts =

== System Power ==

System power is the amount of power available to the station at any given time. Power is made available through charged SMESs outputting power and through immediate power from power sources wired directly to the grid.

(System Power) = (Total Output Power of SMESs) + (Power Sources Wired to the Grid)

== Power Queue ==

To maintain a stable source of power for station equipment, the station power grid follows a ''power queue'' where an electrical component with higher rank on the queue has its power draw from the grid evaluated before an electrical component with a lower priority. APCs are typically the lowest priority since they only draw power, while the power sources on the station are the highest priority since they only produce power.

=== Power Output and the Power Queue ===

The most visible effect of the power queue is that if there is not enough output power available on the grid because a component with higher rank is requesting it, then a lower rank component will not charge. For example, if the Backup SMESs are set to input 200 kW each from the grid and the APCs draw 150 kW, but the grid only provides 250 kW total, then the second Backup SMES will not charge and around two out of three APCs will go unpowered as well.

=== SMES Charging and the Power Queue ===

[[File:SMES_Room_markup.png|thumb|right|400px|The three Singlo SMESs in the SMES Room.]]

Similarly, if a higher rank component has a high enough output level to handle the station's power draw, then the station will draw all of its power from the higher rank component instead of splitting the draw with a lower rank component. This phenomenon is seen often when the singlo is set up. An unaware Engineer will purposefully set all three Singlo SMESs to output at a very high value, say 100 kW, or 300 kW, thinking that this will be more than enough to power the station. While this is technically correct, it isn't advised since it slows down the time it takes until all SMESs are completely full.

An example is the best way to see this. The total power draw on the station is usually near 150 kW. This means the station will draw 100 kW from Singlo SMES #1, 50 kW from Singlo SMES #2, and 0 kW from Singlo SMES #3, resulting in different charging rates of the SMESs. Since SMESs have a capacity of 3,333,333 W (3.33 MW) and assuming an input level of 200 kW, it should take 33.3 cycles before all the SMESs are completely charged (9.99 MW total power stored).

|}

A better way is to set output levels on Singlo SMESs #1 and #2 to a third of the total power draw of the station (here, 50 kW), while allowing the remainder (also, 50 kW) to draw from Singlo SMES #3, which would be set higher than that to account for power fluctuations. For the same case where the total draw was 150 kW, we would set SMES #1 and #2 to 50 kW and SMES #3 to something higher like 200 kW. This would have all three SMESs charged in 22.2 cycles -- 33% faster than the situation above.

[[File:SMES_Output_v_Cycles_to_Full_v01.png|thumb|400px|right|The optimal number of cycles it takes to charge the singlo SMESs is dependent on both not outputting too little, and not outputting too much.]]

= ENGINEERING WHY ARE WE LOSING POWER =

Sooner or later, on every barely functional space station, the power will go out. This is where you - YES, YOU, YOU LAZY FUCK - come in and call out to recall that shuttle because you can fix it! Power can go out for many reasons. Your first port of call should be the Power Monitoring console in engineering, assuming it still exists. Then, ask yourself what's going on:

*'''Power goes out everywhere, in under 10 seconds or so?''' This is most likely a power sink. Power sinks have the odd quirk of still powering the area they are placed in, so your best bet is to get searching for somewhere where the lights are still on, or if it's in maint, where you don't have to crowbar the doors.
*'''Power goes out everywhere, but gradually, section by section?''' This means there's a problem in Engineering itself as the rest of the station is being topped up with charge. It'll be immediately obvious if the engine isn't on/has escaped. Your next port of call should be the SMES cells. Check they're outputting enough power to overcome the drain OR if no APCs are showing on the Power Monitoring computer, it means a wire has been cut either inside or immediately outside the Engineering area and is not being supplied to the rest of the station.
*'''Power is out across a small area?''' This is most commonly a broken wire, the easiest way to find it is with familiarity with the power-net and using that in conjunction with the power monitoring computer. If an area has had all wires sending power to it snipped, its APCs will no longer show on the power monitoring computer. For example, if Medbay as a whole has lost power and isn't showing any of its APCs on the power monitor, the wire cut is most likely in the maint tunnel behind Medbay. The more familiar you become with the power nets, the quicker you will be able to work out where the break is and be able to recognize common spots used.
*'''Power is out across 2 small rooms or in one room?''' This is most likely an APC that has been tampered with in some way. Either hacked by an AI/Saboteur, destroyed somehow or just had its cell ripped out. Again, if the APC doesn't show up on the Power Monitoring computer, it means it's been severed from the power net and wire either inside that room or very close to the APC has been cut.
*'''Power is intermittent across the station. Stuff turns off for a while, starts working, then goes off again?''' Your SMES aren't outputting enough power to keep the APCs charged. This happens most often when the output is just under the drain so therefore some APCs get enough power, while others don't.
*'''The smes'es cycle between getting power and not getting power for seemingly no reason''' Bug. admin help it. Can be fixed by admins by restarting the master controller.
*'''Power isn't actually out?''' Either someone is crying wolf or something else has happened to make it ''look'' like power went out, most likely an [[Random_event#Electrical_Storm|electrical storm]].

Now that you know what's wrong with power, it's your job to [[Beyond the impossible|fix it]]! If the singularity is about to be fucked, ''TURN OFF THE PA IMMEDIATELY'' (it may be worth asking the AI) and wire solars, if they aren't already wired. It might also be necessary to replace equipment. There is a PACMAN located in the SMES room and a spare SMES unit located in [[Electrical Maintenance]], both of which no one ever remembers. You could also rebuild everything. The tools to build a new SMES are located in [[Tech Storage]], and cargo can order new solar equipment and even a new goddamn PA! ...Assuming they haven't already done so and pointed it your way, that is.

==The Forgotten Power Source==
Solars often are fully neglected by but a few people, and for slightly dangerous reasons (covered in a lower section). BUT, They are the safest way to generate power for the whole station! And, if there was a black out of power already, they will always have power until hooked up, and can provide the [[Supermatter|engine]] APC a charge until it is set up itself.

===Locations===
There are four solar arrays on the station. The first, and easiest to configure, is on the rightmost side of the station just below the escape shuttle port (Aft Starboard Array). The second is located "north" of the chapel (Fore Starboard Array). The third can be found to the left of engineering (Aft Port Array). The fourth is best accessed by going through the left maintenance door of the tool storage area (Fore Port Array).

===Connecting the Arrays===
You need:
*Several [[cable_Coils|cable coils]]
*One [[space suit]] or hardsuit
*One [[crowbar]] to open doors if the power is out.
*Optionally, a large stack of [[metal]] from which to make floor tiles so as to protect your newly placed wiring from [[traitor|easy tampering]].

Nanotrasen engineers are renowned for their shoddy craftsmanship and poor work ethic. You will find that none of the four solar arrays have been connected to the station. You will need to connect the solar panels and the solar tracker to the wire leading from the station. To wire a tile, hold a cable coil in hand and click a tile. Connect the solar arrays and solar tracker to the station.

See [[Guide_to_construction#How_Do_I_Wire.3F|How Do I Wire]] for guide to how to wire.

===Calibrating the Arrays===

Once you have wired an array, you need to calibrate the tracking and power so that it actually produces energy. Apparently, our space station is rotating or in orbit around something (no one really knows for sure). This means that the solar panels need to constantly rotate to face toward the sun. Click on the [[Computers#Solars_Control|Solar Control CPU]] and set it to auto-tracking. You should see a degree displayed at the top ranging from 0 to 359; this is the current direction of the sun.

*0 degrees = North
*90 degrees = East
*180 degrees = South
*270 degrees = West

(The consoles are a bit glitchy so you might have to turn off auto-tracking then turn it on again before the panels start to rotate). Also, auto rotation is not smooth, it jumps about every 20 seconds. Keep this in mind if it seems like nothing is happening.

You don't need to use manual tracking!! The only time you will ever need to manually calibrate a solar array is when a meteor or traitor destroys the tracking unit.

It is important to note that '''THE STATION BLOCKS SUNLIGHT!''' This is the biggest cause of solar fail known to spessmen. When the panels of an array face the sun (and are correctly wired) they produce about 90,000 Watts of power. However, if the station is between the panels and the sun, they produce 0 Watts of power. This means that as the panels rotate with auto-tracking, they move through a series of power levels ranging from 90k (full sun) to nothing (station obscures sun). The rotation cycle takes roughly 5 minutes to complete.

Why is this important?

Because of the battery! See that big white thing in the solar control room? That's the SMES cell. It's a battery used for holding solar energy and transferring it to the station. Click on the battery and you get a window with input, output, and charging options.

===Important Battery Facts===

# If the battery charge drops to 0% the battery will stop sending power, even if it is charged again.

Solar batteries (SMES cells) start at 20% power but if the engine is off the station drains them to 0% in a few minutes. An input of 90,000 watts (full sun) might charge the battery for a little while, but once the sunlight is blocked by the station the battery charge begins to drain. This causes the battery to turn off and even when the panels receive sunlight again, the battery won't be sending power unless an engineer turns it on again.

==== (Optional) Skipping the SMES Cells ====
If you don't feel like configuring the SMES cells for over 5 minutes each, you can optionally reroute the wiring and skip the whole battery setup! Just recognize two wires: The wire coming from the Solar Control CPU and going to the SMES cell, and the other wire coming from the SMES cell and going to the station power grid. Connect these two wires and voilá! You have skipped the SMES cell and saved yourself a lot of time. No need to turn that pesky SMES on at all, just configure the Solar Control CPU and you're done, time to move to the next set of solars!

BUT there is one big downside to this: the station powergrid now holds about 400 kW of power, which is almost enough to put someone into instant crit. Not a good thing if you have [[Game_Mode#AI_Malfunction|shocked doors]] or [[Clown|someone]] exposes those electrified grilles inside windows.

===Setting up the SMES===

After you have wired the array, set tracking to auto, and verified that the panels are indeed rotating, set the battery like so:

Charging: Auto

Input: 80,000 watts

Output: OFF!!

You want to leave output off and let the battery charge before you send the power to the station. I recommend waiting for a charge of at least 10% (maybe more) before you turn on the output. The battery needs this charge to provide sustained power during the dark phase of the solar rotation. If the battery runs out of charge, you'll have to turn it on again or it will not provide power. While you wait for the battery to charge, you can wire up other solar arrays on the station.

Once the battery has some charge, you can set the output to 50,000 - 75,000 depending on how much power you need. (If the output load is equal to the output value you set, it means the station needs more power than it's getting. Crank it up!)

These four arms can provide enough energy to power the entire ship in the event of a [[Supermatter]] failure. But, given the position to the engine, the wires will likely be eaten away and you will have charging solars that aren't connected to the station.

==DANGER WILL ROBINSON==
There are a few dangers on the solars, one being the electrical wires if you forgot to wear insulated gloves: never forget or you will get zapped! In addition, you are vulnerable and alone. This leaves you an easy target for those pesky [[space carp]]s and/or space-walking [[traitor|attackers]] that need a new cover identity. Finally, there is the chance to misstep and go drifting off through space. This hazard is easily solved if you act quickly. Simply throw something in the direction of your flight path, like [[shoes]], or a [[pen]]. The equal and opposite reaction will start pushing you in the other direction!

Surgery

2020-05-30T01:59:49Z

Robohobbit: /* Augmentation */

All surgery requires a set of medical tools, typically found in the [[Operating Theatre]], along with an operating table.

= Surgical Tools =
[[Medical_items#Surgical_Tools|Information about every tool used in surgery can be found here.]]

For every tools there are ghetto analogues. Using them lowers chances of performing a surgical step correctly, wounding your patient. Hover your cursor over the item's picture to see its name. Next to the items are the success rates.

= Beginning of any Operation =
Step 1: [[File:OpTable.gif|Operating Table]] Place the patient onto the '''operating table''' (80%). Do this by selecting '''grab''' [[File:Intent_Grab.png]] intent. Then click the patient twice in a row until you have an aggressive grab. Then left click the operating table to place the patient on it. Switch back to '''help''' [[File:Intent_Help.png]] intent or your surgery will fail.
* If there is no operating table, you can use: '''[[Machines#Lifeform_Stasis_Unit|Stasis bed]]''' (80%), '''any table''' (60%), '''any bed''' (50%), ask them to lie '''on the floor''' (30%). Chances of successfully completing every step will be reduced.

Step 1.1 [[File:LongIslandIcedTea.png|Ethanol]] (Optional) Splash on, spray or apply a patch with [[Guide_to_chemistry#Miner's Salve|'''Miner's Salve''']] (+10%), [[Guide_to_chemistry#Sterilizine|'''Sterilizine''']] (+20%), [[Guide_to_food_and_drinks#Drinks|'''alcoholic drinks''']] (up to +46%), or [[Beekeeping#The_fruits_of_our_labour|'''Honey''']] (+60%) to improve your success chance.

*The stronger the alcohol, the more effective! The formula is: 0.1*(booze power/65). For example: Ethanol gives +10% success chance, Manly Dorf +15%, Bacchus' Blessing +46%.

Step 1.2: [[File:N2Otank.png|Sleeping Agent]] (Optional) Use a '''tank of anesthetic''' and a '''breath mask''' to make your patient sleep.

Step 2: [[File:Drapes.png|Drapes]] [[File:Bedsheet.png|Bedsheet]] Place '''drapes''' or '''bedsheet''' over the part of body you are operating.

Step 3: [[File:Intent_Help.png|Help Intent]] Switch to '''help intent'''. Pro tip: Disarm intent will fail every surgery step.

Step 4: [[File:Hud-target.gif|Target]] '''Aim''' at the appropriate body part (important!).

Step 5: [[File:Scalpel.png|Scalpel]] '''Do the surgery''' (see the steps below!). Afterwards congratulate the patient and kick them out.

'''To abort a surgery, hold a cautery in one hand and drapes in the other, and use the drapes on the patient.'''

== Organ Manipulation ==
This surgery covers operations to remove/insert organs (brain, heart, appendix), '''lizard/cat tails''', cyber implants and alien embryos. The body part to target depends on which procedure you want to do. See below for details about each procedure.

=== Ordinary organs that require Organ Manipulation ===

These organs are present in every normal human, and can be removed or transferred through the [[#Organ_Manipulation|Organ Manipulation]] surgery type.

==== Brain [[File:Brain.png|Brain]][[File:Alien_brain.png|Alien brain]] ====

The source of consciousness, and where the player actually resides. Removing the brain from a body will make it unclonable through normal means. The brain can also be inserted into an [[MMI]] to allow it to speak, and to prepare it to be inserted into a [[Cyborg]] or an [[AI]]. Or it can be transferred into another body, which can then be cloned or defibrillated with the new host.

[[Changeling]]s' brains are vestigial, and they can survive without them. Beheading a changeling will not prevent one from reviving.

[[File:Hud_target_head.gif]] '''Target: Head'''

'''Note:''' Brains can also be removed by beheading the target and using a sharp object on the head to extract the brain.

'''Note:''' There's also a non-surgery method to put a brain back in:

Step 1: [[File:OpTable.gif|Operating Table]] Place the patient onto the operating table.

Step 2: [[File:Brain.png|Brain]] Cram their brain back into their skull.

Step 3: [[File:Clone.gif|Cloning Pod]] Usually, you take the body to be cloned.

==== Heart [[File:Heart.png]] ====

Required for basic survival, removing it will cause a heart attack, dealing huge amounts of oxygen damage until a new, beating, heart is inserted, or death. This can be delayed with [[epinephrine]], if you need more time.

On their own, hearts only beat for a short time when removed from a living body. To get a heart beating again, click on it while it's in your hand.

Heart attacks can also be induced by [[Initropidril]], and a heart attack may continue if you insert a still heart in a patient. In either case, to restore the heart to normal functionality, the patient needs to either be defibrillated or receive an electric shock.

[[File:Hud_target_chest.gif]] '''Target: Chest'''

==== Eyes [[File:Eyes.png]] ====

They're required for sight. Removing them will, obviously, turn the patient blind. Some races' eyes can see in the dark.

[[File:Hud_target_eyes.gif]] '''Target: Eyes'''

==== Ears[[File:Ears.png]] ====

Required for hearing. Removing them will make the patient deaf.

[[File:Hud_target_head.gif]] '''Target: Head'''

==== Liver [[File:Liver_organ.png]] ====

Required for processing [[Guide_to_chemistry|reagents]]. Removing the liver will cause the patient to take heavy toxin damage.

[[File:Hud_target_chest.gif]] '''Target: Chest'''

==== Lungs [[File:Lungs.png]] ====

Required for breathing. Removing the lungs will cause the patient to suffocate, regardless of air or internals. Some [[Guide_to_races|species]] have mutant lungs that don't need air: transplanting them onto an breathing race will transfer this property.

[[File:Hud_target_chest.gif]] '''Target: Chest'''

==== Stomach [[File:Stomach_organ.png]] ====

Required for digesting food.

[[File:Hud_target_chest.gif]] '''Target: Chest'''

==== Tongue [[File:Tongue.png]] [[File:Ltongue.png]] ====

Affects speech. Lacking a tongue will make speech very hard to comprehend, while mutant tongues such as lizards' or flypeoples' will give the patient the race's speech quirks. [[Abductor]]s' tongues carry over their telepathy, but they prevent normal speech.

[[File:Hud_target_mouth.gif]] '''Target: Mouth'''

==== Appendix [[File:Appendix.png|Appendix]][[File:Appendix_inflamed.png|Inflamed appendix]] ====

Removing it cures appendicitis and prevents it in the future, too.

[[File:Hud_target_crotch.gif]] '''Target: Groin'''

=== Other organs that require Organ Manipulation ===
There are also non-natural organs which can be added to give bonuses or to harm the patient in a few cases.

==== Cybernetic Implants [[File:Chest_implant.png]][[File:Brain_implant.png]][[File:Eye_implant.png]][[File:Toolset_arm_implant.png]] ====

These offer benefits to the patient at the cost of being very vulnerable to EMPs, with malfunctions ranging from eye-flashing to heart attacks. Cybernetic implants always require the [[#Organ_Manipulation|Organ Manipulation]] type surgery, even for arms. Cybernetic implants can be printed by [[Robotics]] or the [[medbay]] techfab after research.

[[File:Hud_target_chest.gif]][[File:Hud_target_head.gif]][[File:Hud_target_eyes.gif]] '''Target: Chest/Head/Eyes/Arms'''

==== Cybernetic Organs [[File:Cybernetic_heart.gif]] [[File:Cybernetic_liver.png]] [[File:Cybernetic_lungs.png]] [[File:Robotic_eyes.png]] ====

Cybernetic organs replace organs entirely. You need to remove the corresponding organ first to make room for the cybernetic organ. They are vulnerable to EMPs. Cybernetic organs can be printed by [[Robotics]] or the [[medbay]] techfab after research.

[[File:Hud_target_chest.gif]][[File:Hud_target_eyes.gif]] '''Target: Chest/Eyes'''

==== Xenomorph Embryo [[File:Facehugger.png|Facehugger]][[File:Larva.png|Larva]] ====

An alien larva growing inside the patient. If not removed quickly enough, it will gib the patient and try to escape, growing into a dangerous [[Xenomorph]].

[[File:Hud_target_chest.gif]] '''Target: Chest'''

==== Romerol Tumor ====

A latent infection in the patient's head, caused by [[Syndicate Items#Romerol|Romerol]]. If the patient dies while affected by Romerol, he will eventually rise as an aggressive [[Guide to races#Romerol Zombie|Zombie]]. This will repeat as long as the infection lasts; removing it surgically, cutting the head off, or gibbing the corpse will prevent resurrection.

Romerol is infective, and anyone hit by a zombie while unprotected will also acquire a Romerol Tumor.

[[File:Hud_target_head.gif]] '''Target: Head'''

== Prosthesis Organ Manipulation ==

[[#Augmentation|Augmented]] limbs have special surgery steps for [[#Organ_Manipulation|Organ Manipulation]] that are completed with mechanical tools. '''Unlike all other procedures, this can be performed on yourself with self-surgery'''.

== Lobectomy ==
This surgery is an extended organ manipulation, cutting open the chest cavity and removing a disfunctional lobe within the [[Guide_to_medicine#Organ_damage|lungs]]. This restores health to the [[Guide_to_medicine#Organ_damage|lungs]], and makes them operable, if they weren't before. Be warned, however, that this surgery can only be done once per set of lungs. Can only be performed if the patient's lungs are above 60 damage, which is a tad past severe damage thresholds. Do NOT confuse this surgery with lobotomy!

== Coronary Bypass ==
This surgery is an extended organ manipulation, cutting open the chest cavity and grafting a bypass onto the patient's [[Guide_to_medicine#Organ_damage|heart]]. This restores health to the heart, and makes it operable, if it was not before. Be warned, however, that this surgery can only be done once per heart, and that incising the heart and attaching the graft are not guaranteed successes. Keep bandages on hand in the event of failing the step, which will result in massive amounts of bleeding. Can only be performed if the heart has more than 60 damage (tad past severe damage threshold).

== 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.

=Upgradable Surgery=
These surgeries are available roundstart but can be upgraded to better or different versions by researching certain nodes and then syncing a connected operating computer.

==Tend Wounds==
The tend wounds surgeries all share the same steps. They can be upgraded by researching certain nodes, and then syncing the operating computer with research database. There are "bruises", "burn" and "Mixture" versions. By default only "bruises" and "burn" are available. The basic versions of this surgery can be performed anywhere, but the upgraded versions require an operating table (or [[Machines#Lifeform_Stasis_Unit|Stasis bed]]) with an adjacent and synced operating computer. 

The target is healed by this surgery, without any [[Guide_to_chemistry|chemicals]] being involved. Useful for healing dead bodies for [[#Revival|revival]]. This works on patients with clothes on, but it's only 55% as effective. 

[[File:Hud_target_chest.gif]] '''Target: Chest'''
{|
| style="width: 400px;" |'''Procedure'''||'''Ghetto Analogues'''
|-
|Step 1: [[File:Scalpel.png|Scalpel]] '''Scalpel''': make a careful incision (does not cause damage or bleeding).||[[File:Knife.png|Kitchen Knife]] (65%) [[File:Shard.png|Shard]] (45%) [[File:Sword.gif|Energy Sword]] (75%) Any other sharp item (30%)
|-
|Step 2: [[File:Hemostat.png|Hemostat]] '''Tend bruises''': repair damage to the target (automatically repeats until fully healed).||[[File:Screwdriver_tool.png|Screwdriver]] (65%) [[File:Pen.png|Pen]] (55%)
|-
|Step 3: [[File:Cautery.png|Cautery]] '''Cautery''': seal the wound.||[[File:Laser_gun.png|Laser]] (90%) [[File:Welder.png|Welder]] (70%) [[File:Lighter.png|Lighter]] (45%) [[File:Match.png|Match]] (20%)
|}

*Step 2 will heal at least 5 damage each time it's repeated, with an added bonus the more damaged the patient is. This the bonus healing becomes higher with higher tiers of research, ranging from (patient's damage / 75) to (patient's damage / 12.5). The bonus is much lower on dead patients.
*Without any research the heal is 5 damage plus a bonus from damage. ("bruises" and "burn" versions only).
*With '''Improved Wound-Tending Surgery''' researched and synced, it will heal 5 damage plus a higher bonus from damage ("bruises" and "burn" versions only).
*With '''Advanced Surgery''' researched and synced, it will heal 5 damage plus an even higher bonus from damage ("bruises" and "burn" versions only).
*With '''Advanced Surgery''' researched and synced, you'll be able to do the "mixture" version (tend physical wounds), which heals 3 brute and burn plus a bonus from damage, but the step takes much shorter time than the other two versions.
*With '''Experimental Surgery''' researched and synced, "tend physical wounds" will heal 3 brute and burn plus a better bonus from damage.
*With '''Alien Surgery''' researched and synced, "tend physical wounds" will heal 1 brute and burn plus a very high bonus from damage.
*Failing the hemostat step [[File:Hemostat.png|Hemostat]] will deal some of the damage it would have healed.

If research was completed in the middle of surgery, you must restart the surgery to get the upgraded version.

==Dissection==

The dissection surgeries all share the same steps. They require an operating table (or [[Machines#Lifeform_Stasis_Unit|Stasis bed]]) with an adjacent operating computer. They can be upgraded by researching certain nodes, and then syncing the operating computer with research database. The procedure will deeply analyze the biology of a corpse (both humanoid and simple), and automatically add new findings to the research database. This generates research points for [[science]]. Does not work on living patients. Unlike other surgeries, even [[Cyborg|cyborgs]] can fail step 5.

|}

*If you fail step 5 you only get 1% of the points, but you can try again on the same corpse.
*If you dissect a corpse and later do an upgraded dissection on the same corpse, you will only get the point difference between the two versions.
*If no upgrades were made between dissections, you can't dissect the same corpse again for extra points.

== Viral Bonding ==

The target is forced into a symbiotic relationship with a virus. It makes the virus stay at stage 1 where it's usually harmless, but still infective to others . Note: The target must already be infected before you can initiate this surgery with the drapes. The target must be dosed with at least 5 units of [[Guide to chemistry#Virus Food|Virus Food]], [[Guide to chemistry#Formaldehyde|Formaldehyde]], and [[Guide to chemistry#Spaceacillin|Spaceacillin]] for the "Viral Bond" step to work. This surgery will not hide the virus icon from medical huds.
 Requires the "Experimental Surgery" technology.

= Alien Surgery =
These surgeries require the '''Alien Surgery''' research node, which requires the '''Alien Technology''' node, which can only be revealed from deconstructing certain [[abductor]] items. After it is researched you must sync an operating computer (click "View Surgery Procedures" and then "Sync with research database") to unlock the procedures. Alien surgeries can only be performed on an operating table with a connected operating computer.

== Brainwashing ==

The target of this surgery, when successful, is bound to a primary goal you assign to him/her. He/she must follow these objectives, regardless of allegiance. This can be cured through brain surgery or with a mindshield implant. Requires either the brainwashing disk, acquired through the [[Syndicate Items#Brainwashing_Surgery_Program|Syndicate Uplink]], or researching the "Alien Surgery" technology.

== Necrotic Revival ==

Revives a corpse into an infectious zombie which will probably munch your face off. Useful for forcing a shuttle call. Note: The target must be dosed with at least 5 units of [[Guide to chemistry#Zombie Powder|Zombie Powder]] or [[Guide to chemistry#Rezadone|Rezadone]] for the "Bionecrosize" step to work. Requires the "Alien Surgery" technology.
