Guide to Atmospherics

2023-07-04T08:46:19Z

Wrill: Killed revision notice. I've checked over the fusion section and it seems to be up-to-date now.

This is the Guide to [[Atmospherics]]. When properly initialized, Atmosia can keep the station aired-up through nearly any emergency. Improperly initialized, it's a waste of space at best and an outright fire hazard at worst.

If you're new to the job, feel free to jump straight to the [[#Setting Up Atmospherics|how to set up Atmos -section]]. If you're ready to really learn about the atmospheric system, read on. By reading this guide you will learn how to transform Atmos from a waste of space to an actually useful addition. We will go through all kinds of theory, so this may be tough, but it will also ensure you know exactly how and more importantly '''how''' Atmos works the way it does, making you ready for all kinds of situations.

==Physical Characteristics of Gases==
=== Basic Characteristics ===
First let’s understand some properties of gases and how they are measured. The first three of these are what you see when you use the analyzer on pipes, canisters or other:
'''Pressure (P)''': Measured in kPa, [[wikipedia:Pascal_(unit)|kiloPascals]], pressures above 750 kPa are lethal. Pressure in a room above 1000 kPa requires internals to breathe properly.

'''Moles (n)''': [[wikipedia:Mole_(unit)|Moles]] are the amount of particles of a gas in the air.

'''Temperature (T)''': Measures in K, [[wikipedia:Kelvin|Kelvin]], Temperature above 360 K (~85°C) and below 260 K (-13.5°C) causes burn damage to humans. [[Guide to toxins|Bomb making]], the TEG or fusion are mostly the only desirable places for very hot gas. Canisters rupture when the air surrounding them is over 1550 K. This is also why hot gases clog the red waste pipes - they expand, allowing fewer moles to be transported.
=== Unseen Characteristics ===
These two are unseen variables typical useful for more advanced applications.

'''Volume (V)''': An unseen variable, [[wikipedia:Volume|Volume]] is how much the turf, canister, tank, piped or other such has space inside it. This helps dictate how much gas it can hold. Volume is essentially the 'mole divider' when converting between a canister/air pump to your tank. Having a higher volume makes space bigger. Shocking I know. For example an extended emergency oxygen tank has twice the contained air '''per kPa''' in comparison to a regular Emergency Oxygen Tank.

'''Heat Capacity''': Every gas mix has a heat capacity. It is calculated by taking into account the quantity of all of the gases in the air and their specific heat. Heat capacity defines how much energy it takes to raise the temperature of a gas. The normal air mix (%30 O2, %70 N2) has a specific heat capacity of about 20 which doesn't impede heat transfer very much. Fires spreads quicker in gases with low heat capacity, and slower in gases with high heat capacity.

'''Fire''': An effect caused by burning plasma. It causes massive burn damage, and a strong fire will not be stopped by standard fire suits. Fire will ignite any form of combustibles in near tiles. Sufficiently hot fires use less O2 as they rise in temperature. The ideal burn mix is: one part plasma to ten parts O2, and with as high a temperature as can is possible.
==Pipenet Components==
This will be a section detailing the overall function, and some specifics, of the various pipes[[File:Atmospheric_Pipe.png]], pumps[[File:Pressure_pump.png]], and other [[File:Atmos_heat_exchanger.png]] devices. Some details will be missed, but it will provide a basis. The first instance of a device running into a unique mechanic will be explained in further length. Expand the table below to see the details.
{| class="wikitable mw-collapsible mw-collapsed"
!Image
!Name
!Description
|-
|[[File:Atmospheric_Pipe.png]]
|Pipe
|Basic component of every pipe net. Comes in varying shapes and colors. Use the RPD to place or "pick up" un-wrenched pipes or other components into it's internal buffer.
|-
|[[File:Pressure_pump.png]]
|Pressure Pump
|An oddball case. Like all pumps, it separates connected pipenets if there is nothing else connecting them. Has a maximum pressure of 4500 kPa. All pumps work by pumping the contents within them to the other side, which is 200L on one side, and 200L on the other. Any pump can not pump gas that is not actually in it, which means that very large connected pipenets will have lower pump speeds. Pressure pumps work by gradually building up to its set pressure per tick. Because of this, pressure pumps slow down when approaching their target pressure, and will not quite match their pressure after a very long time, but will get very close.
|-
|[[File:Layer_adapter.png]]
|Layer Adapter
|Connects the 5 different layers of pipenets. For most stations, the red scrubber network will be on layer 2 while the blue air supply pipes will be on layer 4. Default layer is 3. Pipes on different layers do not interact with one another.
|-
|[[File:Atmos_filter.png]]
|Filter
|The filter is the first device that connects 3 pipenets. It can be set to a single gas, and it will dump this gas to the side it is pointing in. All gas that is not selected will continue straight forward, as the arrow is pointing in a single line. When set to Nothing, it will allow all gas through the straight path. The filter works in L/s, and as such does not experience pressure related slowdowns, however, it has a pressure maximum of 4500 kPa. When EITHER OUTPUT SIDE is 4500 kPa or above, the filter will not function, not allowing any gas to pas. That is, both in a straight line and on its offshoot, the pressure must be less than 4500 kPa.
|-
|[[File:Atmos_mixer.png]]
|Mixer
|The mixer also requires 3 connections to function, as the filter does. The mixer will mix the two incoming gases using the ratio the user inputs, starts off at 50/50. Node 1 is the input in a straight line with the output, Node 2 is the offshoot compared to the output. Both inputs need to have gas in them to function unless a side with gas in it is set to 100%, in which case it will function and purely let that side through. Is pressure based, with the associated properties. Also has a pressure maximum of 4500 kPa. The mixing is influenced by temperature following the ideal gas law. When one of the input sides is hotter compared to the other input, it will let less of this side's gas through, mole-wise. This will give you scuffed ratios if you do not equalize temperatures, if you need the precision, make sure they're equal.
|-
|[[File:Volume_pump.png]]
|Volume Pump
|The volume pump is similar to the pressure pump, but operates differently. It has a pressure limit of 9000 kPa. However, this limit only kicks in when the output pipenet is currently over 9000 kPa. The pump will work if the output pipenet is below 9000 kPa, even if the resulting pressure of this action would be way higher than 9000 kPa. Counter to the pressure pump, this pump works on a L/s basis. This has a 2x200L volume as well, so you pick how much of the volume in the pump is actually pumped to the other side by changing the number. Because its max speed is 200 L/s, it will always outpace and outpressure the pressure pump. Can be overclocked using a multitool, which will cause its pressure limit to be dependent on the input pipenet, which will tend to make the maximum output pressure higher. However, this will cause 10% of gas running through it to spill.
|-
|[[File:Unary_vent.png]]
|Unary Vent
|The vent will pump gas into the room it is in, depending on the air alarm settings of the room. The air alarm has two settings to worry about, External, or Internal. External works by making the vent pump gas from its connected pipenet into the room until the room, or more accurately, the tile, matches the pressure that is set. The max pressure you can configure for External is 5066 kPa, and it slows down when approaching the set limit, as pressure pumps do. Internal works by pumping gas into the room from the pipenet until the pressure set matches the pressure in the connected pipenet. Examples: a vent set to External 200 will pump gas into the room until it is 200 kPa. A vent set to Internal 300 will pump gas into the room until the connected pipenet's pressure is 300 kPa, regardless of room pressure. As such, Internal 0 will always pump at full strength. This same effect can be achieved by turning off both External and Internal. The vent has a maximum speed it can pump at, even when extremely pressurised.
|-
|[[File:Passive_vent.png]]
|Passive Vent
|An unpowered vent that equalizes the internal and external gases. Think of it as a simple open ended pipe into the atmosphere. It is not interactable and cannot be closed. It too, is not restricted by pressure as with the other vents, opening possibilities for interesting shenanigans.
|-
|[[File:Atmos_injector.png]]
|Injector
|The injector is similar to the vent in that it pumps gas onto the tile it is on. However, it is not controlled by an air alarm, but rather works by hand. It is also in L/s units again, similarly to the volume pump. Also similarly to the volume pump, it is the faster one when compared to its pressure based cousin, the vent. It does not have a maximum pressure change per second, as vents do, and will always outpace them. This comes at the cost of the control that vents give you.
|-
|[[File:Scrubber.png]]
|Scrubber
|The gas sucking cousin of the vent, which sucks gas into the connected pipenet. Scrubbers are operated using the connected air alarm. They only suck in gas that is on their tile, unless you set their range to Expanded, in which case it'll suck in a 3x3. The Scrubber sucks at a rate of 200 L/s per tile. So when put to expanded it will suck 1800 L/s if all 9 tiles are able to be sucked from. Setting them to Siphon will make them suck in every gas. If the scrubber is not on siphon, you can select specific gases for it to suck into its pipenet. The more gases are selected to scrub, the more power is used.
|-
|[[File:Manual_valve.png]]
|Manual Valve
|Acts identically to a Digital Valve, however, the manual valve does not allow silicons to operate it.
|-
|[[File:Digital_valve.png]]
|Digital Valve
|A valve that opens when clicked, and connects the two pipenets it separates when doing so. Counter to pumps, it experiences no delay in its gas transfer. It essentially acts as a pipe. Has 200L of volume on one side, and 200L on the other end. This can be operated by both carbon mobs such as humans, excluding xenomorphs, and silicons.
|-
|[[File:Pressure_valve.png]]
|Pressure Valve
|An activatable valve that lets gas pass through if the pressure on the input side is higher than the set pressure.
|-
|[[File:Atmos_heat_exchanger.png]]
|Heat Exchanger
|Place two of these next to each other, facing each other, and they will equalize the temperature of the gases inside them. The heat exchanger is not part of the (more widely used) heat exchange pipes system.
|-
|[[File:He_pipe.png]]
|Heat Exchange pipes
|Functions like regular pipe, however, this will attempt to equalize the temperature between the pipenet and the space it is in. This is based on heat capacity, which can be found on this page. Higher heat capacity means a gas will soak in more energy, which means it is better at cooling when cold, and better at heating when hot. These pipes commonly see use in Supermatter setups, to cool down the coolant by using these pipes in space. However, they can also be used to heat up places, of course. Has a 1K efficiency loss. Space is 2.7K, but heat exchange pipes will only cool the gas in them to be about 3.7K.
|-
|[[File:He_junction.png]]
|Heat Exchange Junction
|These are used to transfer from normal pipes to heat exchange pipes. These need to be between a pipe, or pump, etc. and heat exchange pipes for gas to actually be transferred between the two different kinds of pipe. While this pipe looks partially like a heat exchange pipe, it does not equalize temperature in the way that heat exchanging pipes do. It only looks like it does, so these can be safely connected to any pipe in a normal room without risk.
|-
|[[File:Temperature_pump.png]]
|Temperature Pump
|A pump that transfers energy in one direction until both sides are of equal temperature.
|-
|[[File:Temperature_gate.png]]
|Temperature Gate
|A valve that releases gas through if it is hotter/colder depending on its setting. Setting can be changed by using a multitool on it.
|-
|[[File:Passive_gate.png]]
|Passive Pump/Gate
|These are a combination of pumps and valves. They work up to their set pressure, with a maximum of 100 atm. These can never do more than equalize the two connected pipenets, just as valves do. However, they only work one way, rather than mixing the gas between the two pipenets perfectly as valves do. Think of them as a pressure pump that only equalizes pressure between two pipenets.

==The Gases and Their Functions==
Expand the table below to learn more about gases such as[[File:O2_Canister.png]] O2 or[[File:Tritium.png]]Tritium what they do and where they can be found in-game.
{| class="wikitable mw-collapsible mw-collapsed"
!Can
!Name
!Description
|-
|[[File:O2_Canister.png]]
|O2
|Oxygen. All humans, pets, and lizard-people need more than 16 kPa of oxygen in the air or internals to breathe. Any less and the creature starts to suffocate.
It is required to oxidize a [[plasma]] fire. A room with 100% plasma will not burn. More oxygen causes plasma fires to increase in heat and size. Oxygen mixed suddenly with heated plasma causes explosions when in a tank. See [[Temperature]].
Oxygen is an invisible gas. To detect it, use your [[PDA]] or a wall mounted [[Air Alarm]]. Oxygen [[canister]]s are marked in blue. [[Emergency Oxygen Tank]]s, filled with about 300 kPa, spawn in your emergency [[Internals Box]]. Larger [[Oxygen Tank]]s are in [[Emergency Locker]]s all across ship, which start with about 600 kPa.
|-
|[[File:N2_Canister.png]]
|N2
|Nitrogen. Not particularly more heat absorbant than any other gas. However, it cannot burn at all, which may slow down fires simply by taking up space. It can reduce the heat penalty on the SM, which will keep temperatures down.
Can be found in Atmospherics in red canisters or through the N2 farmer.
|-
|[[File:Air_Canister.png]]
|Air
|A 1:4 gasmix of O2 and N2 (20% O2, 80% N2). The station is filled with this.
Air in SS13 can be seen, strangely enough, as a 'watered down'-O2, with N2 being the water. Optimal atmospheric pressure for humans is 101.3 kPa. Due to the minimum of 16 kPa of O2, the pressure of 101.3 kPa cannot be changed too much without the situation becoming excessively lethal. Under 16 % oxygen? You start dying. Under 90 kPa due to fire from a while ago? You start dying. Be mindful of this.
Air canisters, marked in white, can be found in emergency storages or through the air mix chamber in Atmospherics.
|-
|[[File:Water_vapor.png]]
|Water Vapor
|Pure H2O. Keep away from the [[Clown]] - this slips people and even freezes tiles when released at low temperatures.
The [[Janitor]] starts with a tank in his closet; created as a waste product when tritium burns.
|-
|[[File:CO2_Canister.png]]
|CO2
|What the fuck is Carbon Dioxide!? It's an invisible, heavy gas. It chokes people effectively and quickly, and if you can be bothered to set the alarms up, will result in a invisible room that kills those in it. Takes some setup and can be very, very annoying. Causes people to ''gasp'' at low levels.
Can be found in Atmospherics in black canisters or through the CO2 farmer.
|-
|[[File:N2O_Canister.png]]
|N2O
|Nitrous Oxide, a.k.a. Sleeping Agent. A white-flecked gas.
Makes you laugh at low doses and at higher ones puts you to sleep. If using this as a sleep gas mix '''do not forget''' to mix in at least 16 kPa of O2, or you will suffocate someone. This decomposes into Nitrogen and Oxygen at temperatures at or over 1400K, creating Nitrogen equal to the amount of N2O used, and half that amount in Oxygen.
Can be found in Atmospherics in red canisters with a white stripe on them or through the N2O farmer.
|-
|[[File:Plasma_Canister.png]]
|[[Plasma]]
|Toxins. One of the two flammable gases on the station, plasma is purple and highly toxic.
Heating this at 10000K with enough with Tritium present will cause Plasma fusion. Make sure to take care of the absurd amount of waste products in the form of carbon dioxide, pluoxium and water vapors! They also tend to be very hot which makes great fuel for a turbine or TEG.
Can be found in canisters in toxins or engineering, and Atmospherics through the plasma farmer. Can also be produced by grinding solid plasma then spilling them on the floor.
|-
|[[File:BZ_canister.png]]
|BZ
|BZ gas is a potent hallucinogenic that also put slimes into stasis, degenerates changeling chemicals and suppresses their hivemind. As a side effect, affected people will take low brain damage.
BZ is formed when N2O and Plasma are combined at low temperatures in an exothermic reaction. Stops forming above around 1000kPa. Forms fastest at higher pressures around 200-400kPa
If mixed in a tank with oxygen, it can be used for internals, to [[Chaplain|encourage spiritual development]]. Breathing it also produces [[Guide_to_chemistry#BZ_Metabolites|BZ Metabolites]].

|[[File:Nitryl_no2.png]]
|Nitryl (NO2)
|Nitryl (formerly Brown Gas) speeds you up - pretty good until your body burns up from the extra tension in your muscles.
The result of heating Oxygen and Nitrogen to approximately 22500K at a 1:1 ratio, with at least 5 moles of Pluoxium. Higher heat improves efficiency.
|-
|[[File:Tritium.png]]
|Tritium
|Radioactive, flammable gas that is used in plenty of chemical reactions. Created by heating loads of O2 with Plasma. Also, radiation collectors convert plasma into this. Tritium, though not naturally radioactive, releases radiation when it is burned. Might not want to put this into any engine unless you plan to set it on fire.
Tritium is created in fires that are highly oxygenated, or, in fires where oxygen takes up a vast majority of the gasses. For example, 90% oxygen and 10% plasma. Different ratios may be used, and sometimes different ratios will end up being better for the highest level of efficiency depending on space in the incinerator and temperature of the fire. Experiment! Important to remember is that tritium will likely be very hot, and if allowed to react with oxygen will burn up into water vapor. Keep this in mind when attempting to get sizeable amounts of it.

Tritium is one of the gases needed for fusion. See the [[#Fusion|fusion guide]] below for more details.

|[[File:Freon_canister.png]]
|Hyper-Noblium
|Extremely inert, Hyper-Noblium stops other gases from reacting. (Specifically, it stops reactions when >5 moles)
Can be created when Nitrogen is combined with Tritium at extremely high temperatures. BZ works as a catalyst. 2:1 Nitrogen to Tritium is about optimal here. Counter to the Nitryl reaction, BZ is not a requirement at all. But rather, it decreases how much the temperature / energy drops of your gas mix during the reaction. As such, BZ can often be entirely ignored. The minimum temperature for this reaction to occur is 5000000K (or 5 × 10^6 in scientific notation)

|[[File:Stimulum.png]]
|Stimulum
|An experimental gas that makes you stun and sleep immune and slightly regenerates stamina, but also causes suffocation the longer you've been breathing it (current cycle x 0.05 oxygen damage).
Formed by combining Tritium with Plasma, BZ and Nitryl, then heating it. Also formed in high quantities by fusion.

|-
|[[File:Pluoxium.png]]
|Pluoxium
|A non-reactive Oxygen substitute that delivers eight times as much O2 to the bloodstream, with as little 3 kPa minimum pressure required for internals!
Formed by irradiating tiles with 2 part CO2 1 part O2 in the air. The [[Supermatter]] can be used to naturally generate a small amount of pluoxium if CO2 is added to the cooling loop, but this is risky. A common byproduct of fusion, be sure to scrub them out!

==Atmospherics Layout==
{| class="wikitable"
|[[File:atmos.png|thumb|499px|A wise Atmos Tech once said: "just stare at the pipes until you get it."]]
|[[File:Atmos_simplified_v2.png|thumb|499px|"Simplified" picture of the Atmospherics pipe system. Yellow circles represent filters and the lightbrown circle represents the mixer. ]]
|}
'''Here are two pictures of the atmospheric pipe system. Right one is a "simplified" version of the left picture. Yellow circles representing the filters which filter out a certain gas from the Waste In -gasmix. The light yellow circle near the lower middle represents the mixer which mixes N2 and O2 into a breathable air mix.'''

Atmospherics is pretty simple, but the pipe layout makes it slightly confusing for the untrained eye. There are 4 major pipe "loops":
 
*The '''dark blue pipe loop''' is the distribution loop. It sends air to all the vents on the station for the crew to breathe.

*The '''cyan air mix pipe loop''', which is specialized to mix and provide the air mix to the distribution loop, and is used to fill air pumps outside the front door of Atmospherics.

*The '''red/green pipe loop''', which retrieves the gas in the station via the air scrubbers (red loop) and passes them through a set of filters (green loop).

*The '''yellow pipe loop''', internal to Atmospherics, which is used for custom gas mixes that can be fed into the canister charging station in the middle of atmospherics, or fed into the mixing tank.
 
The tanks (the small rooms in space just outside of Atmos) of the station's atmospherics network, unlike in the rest of the station, are rooms filled with very high pressure of the appropriate gas. The output of these rooms are controlled by their respective Supply Control Computer, an on/off valve, and an output pump for each loop. Note that '''these rooms can be depleted''', especially if [[Traitor|someone]] makes a hole in a tank's external wall.

To understand how the breatheable air mix is mixed, try following these steps and looking at the map at the same time, it starts on the south end of Atmospherics, like so:
#The gasses are pumped through the '''cyan tubes''' from their respective tanks ('''N2''', '''O2''').
#They are mixed in the air tank ('''Air''') to a 1/5 mix of O2 and N2.
#The breathable gas is then pumped through the '''cyan loop''' to the north of Atmospherics.
#And finally it's pumped into the '''dark blue distro loop''' and out to the station for everyone to breathe.

Next let's make up an example situation to see how the waste system works in action:
#Scientist Bill messes up and fills the [[Toxins Lab]] with plasma but fortunately manages to evacuate the room safely.
#Being an otherwise ideal situation Atmos-wise, the Toxins Lab's air scrubbers have been set to filter out all hazardous gases (they're not set by default, this has to be done through the Air Alarm manually or by asking the AI to do it) and plasma starts to get sucked through the scrubber into the waste pipes.
#The plasma arrives to the Waste In -loop (the red pipe loop) at Atmos. It travels south through the pipes, its first stop being the N2 Filter.
#If there was any Nitrogen in the waste gas, it would get filtered out here, and the rest of the gas continues its journey through the waste loop, same thing happening at every filter.
#The plasma finally reaches the Plasma Filter.
#Here the plasma gets extracted from the waste gas and pushed into the big plasma tank-room outside the windows.
#The plasma stays in the room until someone decides to pump it out.
#Scientist Bill by now notices that the Toxins Lab has no plasma anymore and is able to safely continue his work. Yay!

==Setting Up Atmospherics==
It's about time we stop with the theory <s>and throw it out the window</s> and get down to business. The two machines at the top can dispense infinite pipes, and your wrench can disconnect and connect pipes to each other. Remember, you cannot disconnect pumps if they have too much pressure in them.
[[File:AtmosDerp.png|thumb|300px|right|The dumbass-version of the Atmospheric pipe system. See the steps what each colored circle means.]]
Next up is a very simple step by step guide how to set up the Atmospherics pipe system to be (nearly) as efficient as possible. Note that this is only one style how to set up the pipes, there are many ways and they all have their own pros and cons!

*'''For the love of Nanotrasen, at least do this:'''
#Get a Volume Pump from the [[Pipe Dispenser]] at the north side of Atmos and replace the '''green circled''' normal pump with a volume pump, making the waste gas -system >100x more efficient. We want the waste gas sucked from the station into the waste system as soon as possible!
#Set all '''red circled''' filters ON and set them to maximum pressure (4500 kPa) so waste gases will actually be moved.

*'''This is good as well:'''
#Go through the N2 and O2 (besides southern wall) and set their output to 4500 kPa.
#Set the pumps next to the computers at 4500 kPa also, so the gases being pushed out of the gas-room get moved fast too.
#Set the Air-computer's output to maximum (5066.25 kPa).
#Replace the '''blue circled''' normal pump with a Volume Pump as well, but notice; there are risks involved and all of them are covered at the pros and cons -section below.

'''Pros and cons of this whole setup:'''
::'''+ Quick toxin filtering:''' In case of a toxin leak, waste gas will be sucked out quickly (if the area's air alarms are set to filter out all the toxins, that is, by default they are NOT filtering anything).

::'''+ Quick repressurization:''' In case of a breach, air will be poured out with a nice pace, helping you re-pressurize the room quicker after the breach is fixed.

::'''+ Reduced pipe sabotaging:''' With this setup, its harder for the grifflords to fuck up pipes in the maintenance tunnels. In a room with the default 101.3 kPa atmospheric pressure, pipes with more than 202.6 kPa pressure fling the unwrencher back.

::'''- Air Alarm sabotages:''' The station is more vulnerable for sabotage through [[Air alarm|air alarms]]. Someone can quite easily hack an air alarm somewhere and set the vents to push out air at maximum pressure, resulting in overpressurization.

::'''- Space wind:''' In case of a breach, until the hole is fixed, you'll probably spend a small while fighting against the huge air current, a.k.a. "space wind", if you don't switch the vents off during the repair. This is mostly just annoying.

::'''- Very slow pipe manipulating:''' If you suddenly have to modify any of the distribution pipes around the station, you need to lower the pressure to under 202.6 kPa or use magboots if you don't want to be flung around like a leaf in the space wind, which can take a long time.

A little safer, but not as efficient, way of setting up the system is leaving the '''blue circled''' normal pumps completely alone or maybe raising the pressure to 315 kPa. This pressure is enough for quick pipe manipulating and for a sufficient air distribution.

Done correctly, Atmosia should be pumping good air just faster than it's lost, and draining bad air away as fast as the traitors can set it on fire or alternatively draining good air away as fast as a malf AI can siphon it. You can go kick back in the bar like a boss and wait for the inevitable minor station damage and cries of "Call the shuttle!" on the radio from folks who don't even know it ain't a big deal.

==After the Work is Done==
There is a short list of things which fall under your stead:
*First and by far most important: make sure pipes don't get broken and if they do, fix them.
*Go around swiping your ID on [[Air Alarm]]s, setting the operating mode to contaminated, and then re-swiping to lock it. You can ask the AI to do this as well, and probably should.
*Fill all the air pumps with air using a volume pump (more air pumps can be found from the locker room).
*Make extremely extended oxygen tanks for internals use (instructions below).

*Least importantly, maintain the disposals system. You can generate pipes, but it needs welding and is generally a pain in the ass. You can also make fun slides, though.

===Optimizing Internals===
*On a basic view, a 16 kPa minimum O2 requirement in internals. Pure O2 is theoretically toxic in real life, but has no representation for this in code, and takes a while to be really dangerous anyway (they use it to treat certain diseases, for example), and thus using a tank filled with air for internals is fairly inefficient.
*Cold O2 has more moles per kPa, and because people breathe in moles, and filling tanks usefully for internals are largely capped by the 1000 kPa release pressure, means cooling your O2 before using it in internals is important! Cooled down O2, such as from a freezer-ed canister, is the most efficient way to set up internals. Cooling it below 264 K will result in icicles inside in your lungs, though!
*If you need to empty an internal tank to make space for better, colder O2, you can use an Air Pump. Set it to ''"pump in"'' and ''"turn on"'' then ''"off"'' with the tank inside it, making it completely empty, thus allowing you to refill the tank more effectively.
*An emergency oxygen tank with normal settings lasts for about 12 minutes. Same tank, but with optimized gas temperature and output settings reduced, lasts about 50 minutes. If you don't have resources to get cooled O2 right now, set your output pressure to 16 kPa, it will give you 31 % more time to breathe.

===Your Very Own Customized Mix===
To create a custom mix of gas, turn on the output of the supply control computers, open the manual valves, and turn the output of the pump to what you wish it to be. The gas will travel through the orange pipes into the mixing chamber. The gas mix is pumped into the mixing chamber via a pump north of the orange loop.

The mix obtained can then be pumped into the distribution and filtering loop or used to fill canisters. Remember to turn off the pump between the yellow and red pipe network or your custom mix will just go into the red waste loop.

===Fun Projects===
*The Atmospherics system is far from optimal, and we're talking about just the pipe configuration! Break out that wrench and start experimenting (just make sure you know what's what)!
*Extremely high-temperature gases (like those from a panic siphoned fire) can really clog the waste loop. Could you do something to correct that? Tip: triple volume pump really helps.
*No one uses the ports outside of the 'refilling' station, but that doesn't mean that functionality can't be added onto them!
*On rounds with skeleton crew, you will have all the access of a station engineer. Go help fix and build the station.
*Don't count out the grated window areas, they can be a great (har har) way to utilize the vacuum of space without an EVA suit.
*Speaking of EVA suits, your engineering buddies can potentially help you with anything you might want to do in space, be it adding or modifying pipes.
*The brigs distribution system is set up to be potentially independent of the rest of the station's distribution loop, maybe other places can be set up like this as well?
*The AI sat air distribution is normally cut off from the rest of the station, straight pipe it and laugh as the AI accidentally burns down its own satellite.
*The mining station doesn't have air recycling. Very long rounds might make this a problem for any miners working there. The easy way is just simply built a scrubber that only takes in oxygen and nitrogen and connect it into the mining distro. Alternatively pull Mr fastmosky into one of the rooms and set it to panic siphon, bots have unlimited supply of O2 and N2.
*The supermatter on regular operation constantly releases oxygen or plasma, pipe them back into the distro, set up a TEG burn chamber or even do fusion (see below)!.
==The Less Well Known Hazards of Gases ==
*Any gas at pressure over 1000 kPa will cause you to start suffocating as in a vacuum. You can just use internals, though.
*N2O is invisible at low pressures. If you start giggling, put on your internals to avoid passing out.
*Any gas can displace O2, and less than ''16'' (also useful for optimizing internals) kPa of oxygen starts the Oxyloss. CO2 can be removed with the scrubbers, but to get rid of N2 simply apply some way of removing gas from the air and adding O2. My personal favorite is 2 air pumps, 3 connectors and an Air Filter and a canister: 1 pump draws in, goes through the connection and filters N2 into the canister, and the rest to the other pump, which expels it. Can also be used for N2O which is only sluggishly scrubbed otherwise.
*Pressures above 750 kPa do 10 DPS + 5 DPS for every extra 375 kPa above that mark, rounded off. Space suits completely block it all, but there is no other defense.
==ATMOS Resin ==
The Backpack Firefighter Tank[[File:waterbackpack atmos.png]] can switch modes to launch transparent ATMOS resin instead of extinguisher. This resin has the following effects:
*Repairs hull breaches similarly to [[Guide to chemistry#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 with the Z key. It spends water when used. Examine the nozzle to see water remaining. This anti-breach and firefighting tool can be ordered from [[Supply_crates#Backpack Firefighting Crate|cargo]] or found in atmospheric lockers.
==Useful Atmos Trivia==
*Your holobarriers let people walk through, yet block gases. Very useful for cleaning up Plasma spills, fixing hull breaches and keeping fires in check.
*Using H/E pipes in space you can cool things down to a very low temperature very quickly. By making a cross with two off them you can have two on one tile, which is known as 'sequesteral' cooling.
*Air Filters on currently burning mixes can siphon out heated but PURE O2 and Plasma. Do the O2 first then the plasma, as there is less O2 in a fire and thus it functions faster. This (and H/E) allow you to reach really obscene temperatures.
*Air Filters and H/E allow you to expose gases to the heat of fires (or their CO2 product) but keep/make them pure, allowing for hot N2O or similar.
*Using a small starter flame/heater you can have in pipe combustion.
*Canister [[Guide to toxins|bombs]] are heated Plasma in a canister, with an O2 tank placed in the canister, and then open the valve between them. You will also need to run very, very fast.
*Gas pumps are for precise pressure control, volumetric pumps are for really fast pumping, and passive gates are for having 'one way' manual valves.
*Passive vents in space vents air out faster than a 400L/s air injector. Good for dealing with excessive waste gases such as from fusion.
==Fusion==
So you want to operate a fusion reactor? Well, it's about as dangerous as it sounds. On various /tg/station-based codebases, fusion has been redesigned several times and is currently on '''version 6:''' [https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/42748 "Chaos Hyper-Torus Edition"]. Each server has its own variation, but its divergence from original code is generally correlated with how often people do fusion, especially for griefing. So, for each codebase, you need to learn its finer details of fusion. But, first things first, let's see the most basic fundamentals of fusion V6: 
*Mixing at least 250 moles of CO2, at least 250 moles of plasma and at least one mole of tritium, and then heating it to >10000K satisfies the bare minimum. You don't have to follow this order if you are using air injector to an open turf. (e.g. Plasma and CO2 superheated to 50000K and then tritium works)
*"Bare minimum" will die pathetically or not very badly. In order to continue the fusion, you need '''more tritium''', more heat, and more plasma. More plasma and more heat is mostly here for a better luck.
*'''Tritium is always consumed, one mole per reaction,''' so you will need a lot of them. The problem here is you can't pump in more gas to a fusing canister. In order to mitigate that, long-living canister fusion requires a lot of initial tritium. You also are unlikely to be able to add more tritium when the canister it in heating process, so you should take care of that too.
*Fusion itself is chaos. The original author dubbed it using cool mathematical words, but that doesn't mean much. As energy fluctuates between plasma and thermal energy (E=MC2 is kinda in work here), more initial plasma and heat provide a '''buffer''' against chaotic nature of fusion; chaos sometimes knocks fusion mix out of 10000K requirement. However, the chaos is ultimately on your side, so you will be able to get '''ridiculously high''' temperatures.
*As the fusion goes on, the mix will create various waste gases. The resulting waste gas mixture will depend on codebase, but extracting them '''will''' be a hassle, and the amount won't be that much in the first place. The standard practice here is using fusion as a heat source.
*Finally, the fusion creates radiation and perhaps a nuclear particle. (aka radball) '''Do not get hit by these, they can and will instantly kill you at higher strengths'''.
Therefore, we now arrive at [https://github.com/BeeStation/BeeStation-Hornet/pull/2614 the Beestation's solution]. You can take a look at it to get a deeper understanding of the current state of the art, which will inevitably be revised as griefers again somehow discover ways to heavily grief with it, but for the sake of accessibility, here is a quick and practical guide to the Bee's current fusion V6.

'''TL; DR: Do open turf fusion and supply plasma to it, and canister fusion won't get you far.'''

Bee's current fusion is V6, which has even more math than the original fusion V6, requires constant supply of plasma to reach higher temperatures. Without constant supply of plasma, the temperature is very unlikely to exceed 1e+7K, and sudden death becomes a possibility. So, to create a fusion that lasts and has higher temperatures, you '''need''' to practice open turf fusion supplied with an air injector. There is quite a lot of leeway here since numbers are a bit relaxed at the initial stages of fusion. Generally you will need 500~600 moles of plasma per tile heated to 20000K, preferably using heat pipes transfering heat from tritium production chamber.

The best practice here is having a constant supply of tritium and plasma and then injecting fresh tritium and plasma with an air injector. As the radiation scaling and nuclear particles provide nice indicators of the strength of a fusion, you will discover that the fusion responds quite well, albeit clumsily, to changes in plasma input; the resulting temperature eqilibrium '''depends''' on plasma input. If you can't see enough change, check your plasma supply. Supply more plasma for a better outcome. As the growth still is (marginally) exponential, high temperatures can be reached with ease, as long as you can supply enough plasma for them. In contrast, you can't supply anything to canister fusion, so the fusion canister will create meager rads and stay at <1e+7K. However, opening it still is highly dangerous, probably as dangerous as opening a heated can full of tritium.

Let's wrap up. There still are lots of details to say, but we will stop here with a final detail: it may sound surprising, fusion is uncapped (or capped to 1e31 which is essentially the same as not having a cap.) You indeed are extremely unlikely to reach 1e31 with current fusion unless you [[Beyond the impossible|acquire billions of moles of supercooled plasma]], but the math is forgiving (subject to change) and open. Experiment!

Fusion is DANGEROUS if high pressure fusion leaks it can turn atmospherics into a '''ZONE OF DEATH''' with extreme spacewind and heat.

Or: How to get the AI lynched; How to call the shuttle as Atmos Tech, step-by-step:
#Open valves connected to harmful gas you want to add to the station.
#Set pumps to the distribution loop to maximum pressure output (4500 kPa).
#Set filters to not filter harmful gasses you want to add to the station OR set the waste-in pump to 0 kPa (but leave it on to confuse the crew).
#Open valve from custom mix chamber.
#Turn on pump leading to distribution loop.
#Wait for vents to slowly kick out your deathgas mix as regular atmos drains out through the inevitable hull breaches (alternatively turn off pressure checks on air alarms' vents to speed things up).
#If you need to kill someone for your objective, and you want to be more proactive, the [[Fire Axe]] mounted in the wall is surprisingly effective. Just don't leave it lying around, because it's one of only two on the station.

To hurry this process up, you can set the air vents at local control panels to maximum output pressure. Not doing so gives the AI and Atmos Techs more time to notice what you've done and shut it off before it takes effect.

A faster process for achieving the same result is to do the following:
#Disconnect, change the direction of, and reconnect the pump that feeds from the air mix to the mix tank in the north-eastern room of atmosia.
#Open the valves for your deathgas mixture of choice.
#Power on and max the pressure on every pump in the mix pipes (yellow pipes) from the storage tanks out to the station output (blue pipes).

This simply means that instead of the air mix being put into the mix tank as it normally does, the air mix (which may or may not contain death gasses) is fed into the station output.

Crafty atmos traitors will want to cut cameras, replace pumps with pipes, use tricky pipe configurations to avoid the AI interfering or the detective trying to fix it and make a hole in the station's oxygen and air tanks, venting the entire round's supply of oxygen into space.

An extremely fast method that involves a clever use of the waste system is the following:
#Reconfigure the piping to connect the waste system directly into the pure pipes.
#Find a place with a waste pipe next to a distro pipe, then configure them so that they can be united later.
#Open the valves for your deathgas mixture of choice, the waste piping should now begin to fill with your gases.
#Set as many air alarms as you can to have every vent at Internal 0.
# When ready, go back to your distro/waste pipe spot and unite them.
#Listen to screams over the radio. Or break tcomms so their calls for help never reaches medical's ears.

Other antagonistic things to do:
*You can hack an air alarm to use it as a non-Atmos Tech.
*You can C4 the digital valves to let you remove them and shut down AI control, or save a C4 and disable the cameras if you know there are no Cyborgs on the station.
*Using a gas filter turned on to pour large, ever increasing, amounts of gas onto a single connector port has no visible effects, but if you wrench a canister onto it then the canister will almost immediately fill up with the massive pressure buildup, letting you get super-high pressure plasma/CO2/etc canisters to hit area's with.
*Doing fusion? Pipe the extremely hot air into distro and watch everyone even with firesuits scream at a billion degrees when the usual plasmafire protection doesn't work. Get instantly banned if you don't have the right traitor objective.
*You have access to a circuit imprinter in engineering, go subvert the AI and let it do all the above for you!
*If your objective involves stealing the blackbox. You're in luck because you have free access to it on some maps.
*Have access to the Supermatter? Turn off the scrubbers, prevent the SM doors opening by putting a holobarrier or wall. Now feed it with Nitrogen to cause it to become a singularity or CO2 to cause it to become a Tesla. Or all the gases if you want to do both.

Guide to Atmospherics

2023-07-04T08:43:43Z

Wrill: /* Fusion */ Trimmed off a lot of history about fusion, as nice as it is, it intimidates people trying to learn fusion and it doesn't add to the guide at all. Killed a lot of mention of /tg/ aswell, improved some grammar that wasn't technically wrong too.

{{Needs revision
|reason = Someone knowledgeable need to make sure the fusion part is up to date.
}}
This is the Guide to [[Atmospherics]]. When properly initialized, Atmosia can keep the station aired-up through nearly any emergency. Improperly initialized, it's a waste of space at best and an outright fire hazard at worst.

If you're new to the job, feel free to jump straight to the [[#Setting Up Atmospherics|how to set up Atmos -section]]. If you're ready to really learn about the atmospheric system, read on. By reading this guide you will learn how to transform Atmos from a waste of space to an actually useful addition. We will go through all kinds of theory, so this may be tough, but it will also ensure you know exactly how and more importantly '''how''' Atmos works the way it does, making you ready for all kinds of situations.

==Physical Characteristics of Gases==
=== Basic Characteristics ===
First let’s understand some properties of gases and how they are measured. The first three of these are what you see when you use the analyzer on pipes, canisters or other:
'''Pressure (P)''': Measured in kPa, [[wikipedia:Pascal_(unit)|kiloPascals]], pressures above 750 kPa are lethal. Pressure in a room above 1000 kPa requires internals to breathe properly.

'''Moles (n)''': [[wikipedia:Mole_(unit)|Moles]] are the amount of particles of a gas in the air.

'''Temperature (T)''': Measures in K, [[wikipedia:Kelvin|Kelvin]], Temperature above 360 K (~85°C) and below 260 K (-13.5°C) causes burn damage to humans. [[Guide to toxins|Bomb making]], the TEG or fusion are mostly the only desirable places for very hot gas. Canisters rupture when the air surrounding them is over 1550 K. This is also why hot gases clog the red waste pipes - they expand, allowing fewer moles to be transported.
=== Unseen Characteristics ===
These two are unseen variables typical useful for more advanced applications.

'''Volume (V)''': An unseen variable, [[wikipedia:Volume|Volume]] is how much the turf, canister, tank, piped or other such has space inside it. This helps dictate how much gas it can hold. Volume is essentially the 'mole divider' when converting between a canister/air pump to your tank. Having a higher volume makes space bigger. Shocking I know. For example an extended emergency oxygen tank has twice the contained air '''per kPa''' in comparison to a regular Emergency Oxygen Tank.

'''Heat Capacity''': Every gas mix has a heat capacity. It is calculated by taking into account the quantity of all of the gases in the air and their specific heat. Heat capacity defines how much energy it takes to raise the temperature of a gas. The normal air mix (%30 O2, %70 N2) has a specific heat capacity of about 20 which doesn't impede heat transfer very much. Fires spreads quicker in gases with low heat capacity, and slower in gases with high heat capacity.

'''Fire''': An effect caused by burning plasma. It causes massive burn damage, and a strong fire will not be stopped by standard fire suits. Fire will ignite any form of combustibles in near tiles. Sufficiently hot fires use less O2 as they rise in temperature. The ideal burn mix is: one part plasma to ten parts O2, and with as high a temperature as can is possible.
==Pipenet Components==
This will be a section detailing the overall function, and some specifics, of the various pipes[[File:Atmospheric_Pipe.png]], pumps[[File:Pressure_pump.png]], and other [[File:Atmos_heat_exchanger.png]] devices. Some details will be missed, but it will provide a basis. The first instance of a device running into a unique mechanic will be explained in further length. Expand the table below to see the details.
{| class="wikitable mw-collapsible mw-collapsed"
!Image
!Name
!Description
|-
|[[File:Atmospheric_Pipe.png]]
|Pipe
|Basic component of every pipe net. Comes in varying shapes and colors. Use the RPD to place or "pick up" un-wrenched pipes or other components into it's internal buffer.
|-
|[[File:Pressure_pump.png]]
|Pressure Pump
|An oddball case. Like all pumps, it separates connected pipenets if there is nothing else connecting them. Has a maximum pressure of 4500 kPa. All pumps work by pumping the contents within them to the other side, which is 200L on one side, and 200L on the other. Any pump can not pump gas that is not actually in it, which means that very large connected pipenets will have lower pump speeds. Pressure pumps work by gradually building up to its set pressure per tick. Because of this, pressure pumps slow down when approaching their target pressure, and will not quite match their pressure after a very long time, but will get very close.
|-
|[[File:Layer_adapter.png]]
|Layer Adapter
|Connects the 5 different layers of pipenets. For most stations, the red scrubber network will be on layer 2 while the blue air supply pipes will be on layer 4. Default layer is 3. Pipes on different layers do not interact with one another.
|-
|[[File:Atmos_filter.png]]
|Filter
|The filter is the first device that connects 3 pipenets. It can be set to a single gas, and it will dump this gas to the side it is pointing in. All gas that is not selected will continue straight forward, as the arrow is pointing in a single line. When set to Nothing, it will allow all gas through the straight path. The filter works in L/s, and as such does not experience pressure related slowdowns, however, it has a pressure maximum of 4500 kPa. When EITHER OUTPUT SIDE is 4500 kPa or above, the filter will not function, not allowing any gas to pas. That is, both in a straight line and on its offshoot, the pressure must be less than 4500 kPa.
|-
|[[File:Atmos_mixer.png]]
|Mixer
|The mixer also requires 3 connections to function, as the filter does. The mixer will mix the two incoming gases using the ratio the user inputs, starts off at 50/50. Node 1 is the input in a straight line with the output, Node 2 is the offshoot compared to the output. Both inputs need to have gas in them to function unless a side with gas in it is set to 100%, in which case it will function and purely let that side through. Is pressure based, with the associated properties. Also has a pressure maximum of 4500 kPa. The mixing is influenced by temperature following the ideal gas law. When one of the input sides is hotter compared to the other input, it will let less of this side's gas through, mole-wise. This will give you scuffed ratios if you do not equalize temperatures, if you need the precision, make sure they're equal.
|-
|[[File:Volume_pump.png]]
|Volume Pump
|The volume pump is similar to the pressure pump, but operates differently. It has a pressure limit of 9000 kPa. However, this limit only kicks in when the output pipenet is currently over 9000 kPa. The pump will work if the output pipenet is below 9000 kPa, even if the resulting pressure of this action would be way higher than 9000 kPa. Counter to the pressure pump, this pump works on a L/s basis. This has a 2x200L volume as well, so you pick how much of the volume in the pump is actually pumped to the other side by changing the number. Because its max speed is 200 L/s, it will always outpace and outpressure the pressure pump. Can be overclocked using a multitool, which will cause its pressure limit to be dependent on the input pipenet, which will tend to make the maximum output pressure higher. However, this will cause 10% of gas running through it to spill.
|-
|[[File:Unary_vent.png]]
|Unary Vent
|The vent will pump gas into the room it is in, depending on the air alarm settings of the room. The air alarm has two settings to worry about, External, or Internal. External works by making the vent pump gas from its connected pipenet into the room until the room, or more accurately, the tile, matches the pressure that is set. The max pressure you can configure for External is 5066 kPa, and it slows down when approaching the set limit, as pressure pumps do. Internal works by pumping gas into the room from the pipenet until the pressure set matches the pressure in the connected pipenet. Examples: a vent set to External 200 will pump gas into the room until it is 200 kPa. A vent set to Internal 300 will pump gas into the room until the connected pipenet's pressure is 300 kPa, regardless of room pressure. As such, Internal 0 will always pump at full strength. This same effect can be achieved by turning off both External and Internal. The vent has a maximum speed it can pump at, even when extremely pressurised.
|-
|[[File:Passive_vent.png]]
|Passive Vent
|An unpowered vent that equalizes the internal and external gases. Think of it as a simple open ended pipe into the atmosphere. It is not interactable and cannot be closed. It too, is not restricted by pressure as with the other vents, opening possibilities for interesting shenanigans.
|-
|[[File:Atmos_injector.png]]
|Injector
|The injector is similar to the vent in that it pumps gas onto the tile it is on. However, it is not controlled by an air alarm, but rather works by hand. It is also in L/s units again, similarly to the volume pump. Also similarly to the volume pump, it is the faster one when compared to its pressure based cousin, the vent. It does not have a maximum pressure change per second, as vents do, and will always outpace them. This comes at the cost of the control that vents give you.
|-
|[[File:Scrubber.png]]
|Scrubber
|The gas sucking cousin of the vent, which sucks gas into the connected pipenet. Scrubbers are operated using the connected air alarm. They only suck in gas that is on their tile, unless you set their range to Expanded, in which case it'll suck in a 3x3. The Scrubber sucks at a rate of 200 L/s per tile. So when put to expanded it will suck 1800 L/s if all 9 tiles are able to be sucked from. Setting them to Siphon will make them suck in every gas. If the scrubber is not on siphon, you can select specific gases for it to suck into its pipenet. The more gases are selected to scrub, the more power is used.
|-
|[[File:Manual_valve.png]]
|Manual Valve
|Acts identically to a Digital Valve, however, the manual valve does not allow silicons to operate it.
|-
|[[File:Digital_valve.png]]
|Digital Valve
|A valve that opens when clicked, and connects the two pipenets it separates when doing so. Counter to pumps, it experiences no delay in its gas transfer. It essentially acts as a pipe. Has 200L of volume on one side, and 200L on the other end. This can be operated by both carbon mobs such as humans, excluding xenomorphs, and silicons.
|-
|[[File:Pressure_valve.png]]
|Pressure Valve
|An activatable valve that lets gas pass through if the pressure on the input side is higher than the set pressure.
|-
|[[File:Atmos_heat_exchanger.png]]
|Heat Exchanger
|Place two of these next to each other, facing each other, and they will equalize the temperature of the gases inside them. The heat exchanger is not part of the (more widely used) heat exchange pipes system.
|-
|[[File:He_pipe.png]]
|Heat Exchange pipes
|Functions like regular pipe, however, this will attempt to equalize the temperature between the pipenet and the space it is in. This is based on heat capacity, which can be found on this page. Higher heat capacity means a gas will soak in more energy, which means it is better at cooling when cold, and better at heating when hot. These pipes commonly see use in Supermatter setups, to cool down the coolant by using these pipes in space. However, they can also be used to heat up places, of course. Has a 1K efficiency loss. Space is 2.7K, but heat exchange pipes will only cool the gas in them to be about 3.7K.
|-
|[[File:He_junction.png]]
|Heat Exchange Junction
|These are used to transfer from normal pipes to heat exchange pipes. These need to be between a pipe, or pump, etc. and heat exchange pipes for gas to actually be transferred between the two different kinds of pipe. While this pipe looks partially like a heat exchange pipe, it does not equalize temperature in the way that heat exchanging pipes do. It only looks like it does, so these can be safely connected to any pipe in a normal room without risk.
|-
|[[File:Temperature_pump.png]]
|Temperature Pump
|A pump that transfers energy in one direction until both sides are of equal temperature.
|-
|[[File:Temperature_gate.png]]
|Temperature Gate
|A valve that releases gas through if it is hotter/colder depending on its setting. Setting can be changed by using a multitool on it.
|-
|[[File:Passive_gate.png]]
|Passive Pump/Gate
|These are a combination of pumps and valves. They work up to their set pressure, with a maximum of 100 atm. These can never do more than equalize the two connected pipenets, just as valves do. However, they only work one way, rather than mixing the gas between the two pipenets perfectly as valves do. Think of them as a pressure pump that only equalizes pressure between two pipenets.

!Description
|-
|[[File:O2_Canister.png]]
|O2
|Oxygen. All humans, pets, and lizard-people need more than 16 kPa of oxygen in the air or internals to breathe. Any less and the creature starts to suffocate.
It is required to oxidize a [[plasma]] fire. A room with 100% plasma will not burn. More oxygen causes plasma fires to increase in heat and size. Oxygen mixed suddenly with heated plasma causes explosions when in a tank. See [[Temperature]].
Oxygen is an invisible gas. To detect it, use your [[PDA]] or a wall mounted [[Air Alarm]]. Oxygen [[canister]]s are marked in blue. [[Emergency Oxygen Tank]]s, filled with about 300 kPa, spawn in your emergency [[Internals Box]]. Larger [[Oxygen Tank]]s are in [[Emergency Locker]]s all across ship, which start with about 600 kPa.
|-
|[[File:N2_Canister.png]]
|N2
|Nitrogen. Not particularly more heat absorbant than any other gas. However, it cannot burn at all, which may slow down fires simply by taking up space. It can reduce the heat penalty on the SM, which will keep temperatures down.
Can be found in Atmospherics in red canisters or through the N2 farmer.
|-
|[[File:Air_Canister.png]]
|Air
|A 1:4 gasmix of O2 and N2 (20% O2, 80% N2). The station is filled with this.
Air in SS13 can be seen, strangely enough, as a 'watered down'-O2, with N2 being the water. Optimal atmospheric pressure for humans is 101.3 kPa. Due to the minimum of 16 kPa of O2, the pressure of 101.3 kPa cannot be changed too much without the situation becoming excessively lethal. Under 16 % oxygen? You start dying. Under 90 kPa due to fire from a while ago? You start dying. Be mindful of this.
Air canisters, marked in white, can be found in emergency storages or through the air mix chamber in Atmospherics.
|-
|[[File:Water_vapor.png]]
|Water Vapor
|Pure H2O. Keep away from the [[Clown]] - this slips people and even freezes tiles when released at low temperatures.
The [[Janitor]] starts with a tank in his closet; created as a waste product when tritium burns.
|-
|[[File:CO2_Canister.png]]
|CO2
|What the fuck is Carbon Dioxide!? It's an invisible, heavy gas. It chokes people effectively and quickly, and if you can be bothered to set the alarms up, will result in a invisible room that kills those in it. Takes some setup and can be very, very annoying. Causes people to ''gasp'' at low levels.
Can be found in Atmospherics in black canisters or through the CO2 farmer.
|-
|[[File:N2O_Canister.png]]
|N2O
|Nitrous Oxide, a.k.a. Sleeping Agent. A white-flecked gas.
Makes you laugh at low doses and at higher ones puts you to sleep. If using this as a sleep gas mix '''do not forget''' to mix in at least 16 kPa of O2, or you will suffocate someone. This decomposes into Nitrogen and Oxygen at temperatures at or over 1400K, creating Nitrogen equal to the amount of N2O used, and half that amount in Oxygen.
Can be found in Atmospherics in red canisters with a white stripe on them or through the N2O farmer.
|-
|[[File:Plasma_Canister.png]]
|[[Plasma]]
|Toxins. One of the two flammable gases on the station, plasma is purple and highly toxic.
Heating this at 10000K with enough with Tritium present will cause Plasma fusion. Make sure to take care of the absurd amount of waste products in the form of carbon dioxide, pluoxium and water vapors! They also tend to be very hot which makes great fuel for a turbine or TEG.
Can be found in canisters in toxins or engineering, and Atmospherics through the plasma farmer. Can also be produced by grinding solid plasma then spilling them on the floor.
|-
|[[File:BZ_canister.png]]
|BZ
|BZ gas is a potent hallucinogenic that also put slimes into stasis, degenerates changeling chemicals and suppresses their hivemind. As a side effect, affected people will take low brain damage.
BZ is formed when N2O and Plasma are combined at low temperatures in an exothermic reaction. Stops forming above around 1000kPa. Forms fastest at higher pressures around 200-400kPa
If mixed in a tank with oxygen, it can be used for internals, to [[Chaplain|encourage spiritual development]]. Breathing it also produces [[Guide_to_chemistry#BZ_Metabolites|BZ Metabolites]].

|[[File:Nitryl_no2.png]]
|Nitryl (NO2)
|Nitryl (formerly Brown Gas) speeds you up - pretty good until your body burns up from the extra tension in your muscles.
The result of heating Oxygen and Nitrogen to approximately 22500K at a 1:1 ratio, with at least 5 moles of Pluoxium. Higher heat improves efficiency.
|-
|[[File:Tritium.png]]
|Tritium
|Radioactive, flammable gas that is used in plenty of chemical reactions. Created by heating loads of O2 with Plasma. Also, radiation collectors convert plasma into this. Tritium, though not naturally radioactive, releases radiation when it is burned. Might not want to put this into any engine unless you plan to set it on fire.
Tritium is created in fires that are highly oxygenated, or, in fires where oxygen takes up a vast majority of the gasses. For example, 90% oxygen and 10% plasma. Different ratios may be used, and sometimes different ratios will end up being better for the highest level of efficiency depending on space in the incinerator and temperature of the fire. Experiment! Important to remember is that tritium will likely be very hot, and if allowed to react with oxygen will burn up into water vapor. Keep this in mind when attempting to get sizeable amounts of it.

Tritium is one of the gases needed for fusion. See the [[#Fusion|fusion guide]] below for more details.

|Hyper-Noblium
|Extremely inert, Hyper-Noblium stops other gases from reacting. (Specifically, it stops reactions when >5 moles)
Can be created when Nitrogen is combined with Tritium at extremely high temperatures. BZ works as a catalyst. 2:1 Nitrogen to Tritium is about optimal here. Counter to the Nitryl reaction, BZ is not a requirement at all. But rather, it decreases how much the temperature / energy drops of your gas mix during the reaction. As such, BZ can often be entirely ignored. The minimum temperature for this reaction to occur is 5000000K (or 5 × 10^6 in scientific notation)

|Stimulum
|An experimental gas that makes you stun and sleep immune and slightly regenerates stamina, but also causes suffocation the longer you've been breathing it (current cycle x 0.05 oxygen damage).
Formed by combining Tritium with Plasma, BZ and Nitryl, then heating it. Also formed in high quantities by fusion.

|[[File:Pluoxium.png]]
|Pluoxium
|A non-reactive Oxygen substitute that delivers eight times as much O2 to the bloodstream, with as little 3 kPa minimum pressure required for internals!
Formed by irradiating tiles with 2 part CO2 1 part O2 in the air. The [[Supermatter]] can be used to naturally generate a small amount of pluoxium if CO2 is added to the cooling loop, but this is risky. A common byproduct of fusion, be sure to scrub them out!

==Atmospherics Layout==
{| class="wikitable"
|[[File:atmos.png|thumb|499px|A wise Atmos Tech once said: "just stare at the pipes until you get it."]]
|[[File:Atmos_simplified_v2.png|thumb|499px|"Simplified" picture of the Atmospherics pipe system. Yellow circles represent filters and the lightbrown circle represents the mixer. ]]
|}
'''Here are two pictures of the atmospheric pipe system. Right one is a "simplified" version of the left picture. Yellow circles representing the filters which filter out a certain gas from the Waste In -gasmix. The light yellow circle near the lower middle represents the mixer which mixes N2 and O2 into a breathable air mix.'''

Atmospherics is pretty simple, but the pipe layout makes it slightly confusing for the untrained eye. There are 4 major pipe "loops":
 
*The '''dark blue pipe loop''' is the distribution loop. It sends air to all the vents on the station for the crew to breathe.

*The '''cyan air mix pipe loop''', which is specialized to mix and provide the air mix to the distribution loop, and is used to fill air pumps outside the front door of Atmospherics.

*The '''red/green pipe loop''', which retrieves the gas in the station via the air scrubbers (red loop) and passes them through a set of filters (green loop).

*The '''yellow pipe loop''', internal to Atmospherics, which is used for custom gas mixes that can be fed into the canister charging station in the middle of atmospherics, or fed into the mixing tank.
 
The tanks (the small rooms in space just outside of Atmos) of the station's atmospherics network, unlike in the rest of the station, are rooms filled with very high pressure of the appropriate gas. The output of these rooms are controlled by their respective Supply Control Computer, an on/off valve, and an output pump for each loop. Note that '''these rooms can be depleted''', especially if [[Traitor|someone]] makes a hole in a tank's external wall.

To understand how the breatheable air mix is mixed, try following these steps and looking at the map at the same time, it starts on the south end of Atmospherics, like so:
#The gasses are pumped through the '''cyan tubes''' from their respective tanks ('''N2''', '''O2''').
#They are mixed in the air tank ('''Air''') to a 1/5 mix of O2 and N2.
#The breathable gas is then pumped through the '''cyan loop''' to the north of Atmospherics.
#And finally it's pumped into the '''dark blue distro loop''' and out to the station for everyone to breathe.

Next let's make up an example situation to see how the waste system works in action:
#Scientist Bill messes up and fills the [[Toxins Lab]] with plasma but fortunately manages to evacuate the room safely.
#Being an otherwise ideal situation Atmos-wise, the Toxins Lab's air scrubbers have been set to filter out all hazardous gases (they're not set by default, this has to be done through the Air Alarm manually or by asking the AI to do it) and plasma starts to get sucked through the scrubber into the waste pipes.
#The plasma arrives to the Waste In -loop (the red pipe loop) at Atmos. It travels south through the pipes, its first stop being the N2 Filter.
#If there was any Nitrogen in the waste gas, it would get filtered out here, and the rest of the gas continues its journey through the waste loop, same thing happening at every filter.
#The plasma finally reaches the Plasma Filter.
#Here the plasma gets extracted from the waste gas and pushed into the big plasma tank-room outside the windows.
#The plasma stays in the room until someone decides to pump it out.
#Scientist Bill by now notices that the Toxins Lab has no plasma anymore and is able to safely continue his work. Yay!

==Setting Up Atmospherics==
It's about time we stop with the theory <s>and throw it out the window</s> and get down to business. The two machines at the top can dispense infinite pipes, and your wrench can disconnect and connect pipes to each other. Remember, you cannot disconnect pumps if they have too much pressure in them.
[[File:AtmosDerp.png|thumb|300px|right|The dumbass-version of the Atmospheric pipe system. See the steps what each colored circle means.]]
Next up is a very simple step by step guide how to set up the Atmospherics pipe system to be (nearly) as efficient as possible. Note that this is only one style how to set up the pipes, there are many ways and they all have their own pros and cons!

*'''For the love of Nanotrasen, at least do this:'''
#Get a Volume Pump from the [[Pipe Dispenser]] at the north side of Atmos and replace the '''green circled''' normal pump with a volume pump, making the waste gas -system >100x more efficient. We want the waste gas sucked from the station into the waste system as soon as possible!
#Set all '''red circled''' filters ON and set them to maximum pressure (4500 kPa) so waste gases will actually be moved.

*'''This is good as well:'''
#Go through the N2 and O2 (besides southern wall) and set their output to 4500 kPa.
#Set the pumps next to the computers at 4500 kPa also, so the gases being pushed out of the gas-room get moved fast too.
#Set the Air-computer's output to maximum (5066.25 kPa).
#Replace the '''blue circled''' normal pump with a Volume Pump as well, but notice; there are risks involved and all of them are covered at the pros and cons -section below.

'''Pros and cons of this whole setup:'''
::'''+ Quick toxin filtering:''' In case of a toxin leak, waste gas will be sucked out quickly (if the area's air alarms are set to filter out all the toxins, that is, by default they are NOT filtering anything).

::'''+ Quick repressurization:''' In case of a breach, air will be poured out with a nice pace, helping you re-pressurize the room quicker after the breach is fixed.

::'''+ Reduced pipe sabotaging:''' With this setup, its harder for the grifflords to fuck up pipes in the maintenance tunnels. In a room with the default 101.3 kPa atmospheric pressure, pipes with more than 202.6 kPa pressure fling the unwrencher back.

::'''- Air Alarm sabotages:''' The station is more vulnerable for sabotage through [[Air alarm|air alarms]]. Someone can quite easily hack an air alarm somewhere and set the vents to push out air at maximum pressure, resulting in overpressurization.

::'''- Space wind:''' In case of a breach, until the hole is fixed, you'll probably spend a small while fighting against the huge air current, a.k.a. "space wind", if you don't switch the vents off during the repair. This is mostly just annoying.

::'''- Very slow pipe manipulating:''' If you suddenly have to modify any of the distribution pipes around the station, you need to lower the pressure to under 202.6 kPa or use magboots if you don't want to be flung around like a leaf in the space wind, which can take a long time.

A little safer, but not as efficient, way of setting up the system is leaving the '''blue circled''' normal pumps completely alone or maybe raising the pressure to 315 kPa. This pressure is enough for quick pipe manipulating and for a sufficient air distribution.

Done correctly, Atmosia should be pumping good air just faster than it's lost, and draining bad air away as fast as the traitors can set it on fire or alternatively draining good air away as fast as a malf AI can siphon it. You can go kick back in the bar like a boss and wait for the inevitable minor station damage and cries of "Call the shuttle!" on the radio from folks who don't even know it ain't a big deal.

==After the Work is Done==
There is a short list of things which fall under your stead:
*First and by far most important: make sure pipes don't get broken and if they do, fix them.
*Go around swiping your ID on [[Air Alarm]]s, setting the operating mode to contaminated, and then re-swiping to lock it. You can ask the AI to do this as well, and probably should.
*Fill all the air pumps with air using a volume pump (more air pumps can be found from the locker room).
*Make extremely extended oxygen tanks for internals use (instructions below).

*Least importantly, maintain the disposals system. You can generate pipes, but it needs welding and is generally a pain in the ass. You can also make fun slides, though.

===Optimizing Internals===
*On a basic view, a 16 kPa minimum O2 requirement in internals. Pure O2 is theoretically toxic in real life, but has no representation for this in code, and takes a while to be really dangerous anyway (they use it to treat certain diseases, for example), and thus using a tank filled with air for internals is fairly inefficient.
*Cold O2 has more moles per kPa, and because people breathe in moles, and filling tanks usefully for internals are largely capped by the 1000 kPa release pressure, means cooling your O2 before using it in internals is important! Cooled down O2, such as from a freezer-ed canister, is the most efficient way to set up internals. Cooling it below 264 K will result in icicles inside in your lungs, though!
*If you need to empty an internal tank to make space for better, colder O2, you can use an Air Pump. Set it to ''"pump in"'' and ''"turn on"'' then ''"off"'' with the tank inside it, making it completely empty, thus allowing you to refill the tank more effectively.
*An emergency oxygen tank with normal settings lasts for about 12 minutes. Same tank, but with optimized gas temperature and output settings reduced, lasts about 50 minutes. If you don't have resources to get cooled O2 right now, set your output pressure to 16 kPa, it will give you 31 % more time to breathe.

===Your Very Own Customized Mix===
To create a custom mix of gas, turn on the output of the supply control computers, open the manual valves, and turn the output of the pump to what you wish it to be. The gas will travel through the orange pipes into the mixing chamber. The gas mix is pumped into the mixing chamber via a pump north of the orange loop.

The mix obtained can then be pumped into the distribution and filtering loop or used to fill canisters. Remember to turn off the pump between the yellow and red pipe network or your custom mix will just go into the red waste loop.

===Fun Projects===
*The Atmospherics system is far from optimal, and we're talking about just the pipe configuration! Break out that wrench and start experimenting (just make sure you know what's what)!
*Extremely high-temperature gases (like those from a panic siphoned fire) can really clog the waste loop. Could you do something to correct that? Tip: triple volume pump really helps.
*No one uses the ports outside of the 'refilling' station, but that doesn't mean that functionality can't be added onto them!
*On rounds with skeleton crew, you will have all the access of a station engineer. Go help fix and build the station.
*Don't count out the grated window areas, they can be a great (har har) way to utilize the vacuum of space without an EVA suit.
*Speaking of EVA suits, your engineering buddies can potentially help you with anything you might want to do in space, be it adding or modifying pipes.
*The brigs distribution system is set up to be potentially independent of the rest of the station's distribution loop, maybe other places can be set up like this as well?
*The AI sat air distribution is normally cut off from the rest of the station, straight pipe it and laugh as the AI accidentally burns down its own satellite.
*The mining station doesn't have air recycling. Very long rounds might make this a problem for any miners working there. The easy way is just simply built a scrubber that only takes in oxygen and nitrogen and connect it into the mining distro. Alternatively pull Mr fastmosky into one of the rooms and set it to panic siphon, bots have unlimited supply of O2 and N2.
*The supermatter on regular operation constantly releases oxygen or plasma, pipe them back into the distro, set up a TEG burn chamber or even do fusion (see below)!.
==The Less Well Known Hazards of Gases ==
*Any gas at pressure over 1000 kPa will cause you to start suffocating as in a vacuum. You can just use internals, though.
*N2O is invisible at low pressures. If you start giggling, put on your internals to avoid passing out.
*Any gas can displace O2, and less than ''16'' (also useful for optimizing internals) kPa of oxygen starts the Oxyloss. CO2 can be removed with the scrubbers, but to get rid of N2 simply apply some way of removing gas from the air and adding O2. My personal favorite is 2 air pumps, 3 connectors and an Air Filter and a canister: 1 pump draws in, goes through the connection and filters N2 into the canister, and the rest to the other pump, which expels it. Can also be used for N2O which is only sluggishly scrubbed otherwise.
*Pressures above 750 kPa do 10 DPS + 5 DPS for every extra 375 kPa above that mark, rounded off. Space suits completely block it all, but there is no other defense.
==ATMOS Resin ==
The Backpack Firefighter Tank[[File:waterbackpack atmos.png]] can switch modes to launch transparent ATMOS resin instead of extinguisher. This resin has the following effects:
*Repairs hull breaches similarly to [[Guide to chemistry#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 with the Z key. It spends water when used. Examine the nozzle to see water remaining. This anti-breach and firefighting tool can be ordered from [[Supply_crates#Backpack Firefighting Crate|cargo]] or found in atmospheric lockers.
==Useful Atmos Trivia==
*Your holobarriers let people walk through, yet block gases. Very useful for cleaning up Plasma spills, fixing hull breaches and keeping fires in check.
*Using H/E pipes in space you can cool things down to a very low temperature very quickly. By making a cross with two off them you can have two on one tile, which is known as 'sequesteral' cooling.
*Air Filters on currently burning mixes can siphon out heated but PURE O2 and Plasma. Do the O2 first then the plasma, as there is less O2 in a fire and thus it functions faster. This (and H/E) allow you to reach really obscene temperatures.
*Air Filters and H/E allow you to expose gases to the heat of fires (or their CO2 product) but keep/make them pure, allowing for hot N2O or similar.
*Using a small starter flame/heater you can have in pipe combustion.
*Canister [[Guide to toxins|bombs]] are heated Plasma in a canister, with an O2 tank placed in the canister, and then open the valve between them. You will also need to run very, very fast.
*Gas pumps are for precise pressure control, volumetric pumps are for really fast pumping, and passive gates are for having 'one way' manual valves.
*Passive vents in space vents air out faster than a 400L/s air injector. Good for dealing with excessive waste gases such as from fusion.
==Fusion==
So you want to operate a fusion reactor? Well, it's about as dangerous as it sounds. On various /tg/station-based codebases, fusion has been redesigned several times and is currently on '''version 6:''' [https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/42748 "Chaos Hyper-Torus Edition"]. Each server has its own variation, but its divergence from original code is generally correlated with how often people do fusion, especially for griefing. So, for each codebase, you need to learn its finer details of fusion. But, first things first, let's see the most basic fundamentals of fusion V6: 
*Mixing at least 250 moles of CO2, at least 250 moles of plasma and at least one mole of tritium, and then heating it to >10000K satisfies the bare minimum. You don't have to follow this order if you are using air injector to an open turf. (e.g. Plasma and CO2 superheated to 50000K and then tritium works)
*"Bare minimum" will die pathetically or not very badly. In order to continue the fusion, you need '''more tritium''', more heat, and more plasma. More plasma and more heat is mostly here for a better luck.
*'''Tritium is always consumed, one mole per reaction,''' so you will need a lot of them. The problem here is you can't pump in more gas to a fusing canister. In order to mitigate that, long-living canister fusion requires a lot of initial tritium. You also are unlikely to be able to add more tritium when the canister it in heating process, so you should take care of that too.
*Fusion itself is chaos. The original author dubbed it using cool mathematical words, but that doesn't mean much. As energy fluctuates between plasma and thermal energy (E=MC2 is kinda in work here), more initial plasma and heat provide a '''buffer''' against chaotic nature of fusion; chaos sometimes knocks fusion mix out of 10000K requirement. However, the chaos is ultimately on your side, so you will be able to get '''ridiculously high''' temperatures.
*As the fusion goes on, the mix will create various waste gases. The resulting waste gas mixture will depend on codebase, but extracting them '''will''' be a hassle, and the amount won't be that much in the first place. The standard practice here is using fusion as a heat source.
*Finally, the fusion creates radiation and perhaps a nuclear particle. (aka radball) '''Do not get hit by these, they can and will instantly kill you at higher strengths'''.
Therefore, we now arrive at [https://github.com/BeeStation/BeeStation-Hornet/pull/2614 the Beestation's solution]. You can take a look at it to get a deeper understanding of the current state of the art, which will inevitably be revised as griefers again somehow discover ways to heavily grief with it, but for the sake of accessibility, here is a quick and practical guide to the Bee's current fusion V6.

'''TL; DR: Do open turf fusion and supply plasma to it, and canister fusion won't get you far.'''

Bee's current fusion is V6, which has even more math than the original fusion V6, requires constant supply of plasma to reach higher temperatures. Without constant supply of plasma, the temperature is very unlikely to exceed 1e+7K, and sudden death becomes a possibility. So, to create a fusion that lasts and has higher temperatures, you '''need''' to practice open turf fusion supplied with an air injector. There is quite a lot of leeway here since numbers are a bit relaxed at the initial stages of fusion. Generally you will need 500~600 moles of plasma per tile heated to 20000K, preferably using heat pipes transfering heat from tritium production chamber.

The best practice here is having a constant supply of tritium and plasma and then injecting fresh tritium and plasma with an air injector. As the radiation scaling and nuclear particles provide nice indicators of the strength of a fusion, you will discover that the fusion responds quite well, albeit clumsily, to changes in plasma input; the resulting temperature eqilibrium '''depends''' on plasma input. If you can't see enough change, check your plasma supply. Supply more plasma for a better outcome. As the growth still is (marginally) exponential, high temperatures can be reached with ease, as long as you can supply enough plasma for them. In contrast, you can't supply anything to canister fusion, so the fusion canister will create meager rads and stay at <1e+7K. However, opening it still is highly dangerous, probably as dangerous as opening a heated can full of tritium.

Let's wrap up. There still are lots of details to say, but we will stop here with a final detail: it may sound surprising, fusion is uncapped (or capped to 1e31 which is essentially the same as not having a cap.) You indeed are extremely unlikely to reach 1e31 with current fusion unless you [[Beyond the impossible|acquire billions of moles of supercooled plasma]], but the math is forgiving (subject to change) and open. Experiment!

Fusion is DANGEROUS if high pressure fusion leaks it can turn atmospherics into a '''ZONE OF DEATH''' with extreme spacewind and heat.

Or: How to get the AI lynched; How to call the shuttle as Atmos Tech, step-by-step:
#Open valves connected to harmful gas you want to add to the station.
#Set pumps to the distribution loop to maximum pressure output (4500 kPa).
#Set filters to not filter harmful gasses you want to add to the station OR set the waste-in pump to 0 kPa (but leave it on to confuse the crew).
#Open valve from custom mix chamber.
#Turn on pump leading to distribution loop.
#Wait for vents to slowly kick out your deathgas mix as regular atmos drains out through the inevitable hull breaches (alternatively turn off pressure checks on air alarms' vents to speed things up).
#If you need to kill someone for your objective, and you want to be more proactive, the [[Fire Axe]] mounted in the wall is surprisingly effective. Just don't leave it lying around, because it's one of only two on the station.

To hurry this process up, you can set the air vents at local control panels to maximum output pressure. Not doing so gives the AI and Atmos Techs more time to notice what you've done and shut it off before it takes effect.

A faster process for achieving the same result is to do the following:
#Disconnect, change the direction of, and reconnect the pump that feeds from the air mix to the mix tank in the north-eastern room of atmosia.
#Open the valves for your deathgas mixture of choice.
#Power on and max the pressure on every pump in the mix pipes (yellow pipes) from the storage tanks out to the station output (blue pipes).

This simply means that instead of the air mix being put into the mix tank as it normally does, the air mix (which may or may not contain death gasses) is fed into the station output.

Crafty atmos traitors will want to cut cameras, replace pumps with pipes, use tricky pipe configurations to avoid the AI interfering or the detective trying to fix it and make a hole in the station's oxygen and air tanks, venting the entire round's supply of oxygen into space.

An extremely fast method that involves a clever use of the waste system is the following:
#Reconfigure the piping to connect the waste system directly into the pure pipes.
#Find a place with a waste pipe next to a distro pipe, then configure them so that they can be united later.
#Open the valves for your deathgas mixture of choice, the waste piping should now begin to fill with your gases.
#Set as many air alarms as you can to have every vent at Internal 0.
# When ready, go back to your distro/waste pipe spot and unite them.
#Listen to screams over the radio. Or break tcomms so their calls for help never reaches medical's ears.

Other antagonistic things to do:
*You can hack an air alarm to use it as a non-Atmos Tech.
*You can C4 the digital valves to let you remove them and shut down AI control, or save a C4 and disable the cameras if you know there are no Cyborgs on the station.
*Using a gas filter turned on to pour large, ever increasing, amounts of gas onto a single connector port has no visible effects, but if you wrench a canister onto it then the canister will almost immediately fill up with the massive pressure buildup, letting you get super-high pressure plasma/CO2/etc canisters to hit area's with.
*Doing fusion? Pipe the extremely hot air into distro and watch everyone even with firesuits scream at a billion degrees when the usual plasmafire protection doesn't work. Get instantly banned if you don't have the right traitor objective.
*You have access to a circuit imprinter in engineering, go subvert the AI and let it do all the above for you!
*If your objective involves stealing the blackbox. You're in luck because you have free access to it on some maps.
*Have access to the Supermatter? Turn off the scrubbers, prevent the SM doors opening by putting a holobarrier or wall. Now feed it with Nitrogen to cause it to become a singularity or CO2 to cause it to become a Tesla. Or all the gases if you want to do both.

Job selection and assignment

2023-06-24T17:08:40Z

Wrill: lizards can play heads of staff here

{{Speech
|name=Maximilian Vanderbilt, the CentCom Official
|text=NanoTrasen Central Command has selected your job assignment for this shift. I hope you are happy with what you have been so graciously provided with, 'cause you're gonna be here awhile.
|image=[[File:Centcomofficial.png|64px|right]]
}}

== Preference Ranks ==
In the job selection window of your character setup you can select how much you would like to play as a job.

There are six levels of priority:
*[High]
*[Medium]
*[Low]
*[Never]
*Banned
*Young
You can only select one job as '''high''', the other ranks do not have limits. Banned is shown to players who were banned from playing the job (received a job ban). Players who are job banned cannot spawn as that job, they can however appeal the job ban on the [[Community|forums]]. Jobs a player is banned from will show as [BANNED] no matter if it's a temporary job ban of a permanent one. Jobs the player is too young to play are jobs, which require a player to have played a certain number of days as other roles, before they are unlocked. Security jobs, head positions and silicon positions are usually the jobs that have this enabled. A [IN x DAYS] message will appear if you are too young to play a certain job, indicating how many more days need to pass before you can spawn as that job. You can still get the job by visiting the [[Head of Personnel]] though, or by being [[Cyborg|borged]] or stuffed into an [[AI]].
== Antagonist Assignment ==
Before jobs are assigned, the game will decide who the round antagonists are. A player who would normally have spawned as Security will spawn as a different job instead if they are selected as Antagonist.

This means you can have Security jobs on HIGH without having to worry about never getting antagonist roles.
== How Jobs are Assigned ==
Once the game is about to start, jobs are assigned to players.
=== Pre-emptive Assignment ===
*Assistants are assigned
*One head is selected
*The AI is selected
=== High Selection ===
Loops through a list of all players (randomized), if the player has a job set to high, and it has open slots, they receive it.
=== Middle Selection ===
Loops through a list of the remaining players, if the player has a job set to medium, he receives it.
=== Low Selection ===
Loops through a list of the remaining players, if the player has a job set to low, he receives it.
=== Post Selection ===
Any player who was not assigned a job spawns as a random job from the (probably small) pool of remaining empty jobs. This depends on what they selected in their character setup's occupation page (there is a toggle at the bottom).
== Tips for Job Selection ==
As you can see, people who have a job set to high are far, far more likely to get the job, since if there is only one slot available for a job - like [[Head of Security|HoS]] - and there is one person who sets that job to high and 20 people who set it to medium, the one person who set it to high will always get the job.
*Have your favorite job set to high, if you have two favorites or more, set one of them to high, do not have all three set to medium as you will very likely not get them - especially if the jobs have very few slots available.
== Available Slots ==
This is a list of the number of slots available on station. This does not count reassignments done by the [[Head of Personnel]]. The [[AI]] and [[Cyborg]] cannot be late-joiners. The default player age restriction is shown in brackets (restrictions don't apply for all servers).
* [[Assistant]]: 5 (Unlimited if no other jobs are available, anyone who sets their role to Assistant in preferences is guaranteed the role if the round is just starting)
* [[Bartender]]: 1
* [[Chef]]: 1
* [[Botanist]]: 3
* [[Quartermaster]]: 1
* [[Cargo Technician]]: 2
* [[Shaft Miner]]: 3
* [[Clown]]: 1
* [[Mime]]: 1
* [[Janitor]]: 1
* [[Curator]]: 1
* [[Lawyer]]: 2
* [[Chaplain]]: 1
* [[Station Engineer]]: 5
* [[Atmospheric Technician]]: 3
* [[Roboticist]]: 2
* [[Medical Doctor]]: 5
* [[Chemist]]: 2
* [[Geneticist]]: 2
* [[Virologist]]: 1
* [[Scientist]]: 5
* [[Warden]]: 1 (min 7 day player age)
* [[Detective]]: 1 (min 7 day player age)
* [[Security Officer]]: Scales with population; Minimum 5 (min 7 day player age)
* [[Chief Medical Officer]]: 1 (min 7 day player age)
* [[Chief Engineer]]: 1 (min 7 day player age)
* [[Research Director]]: 1 (min 7 day player age)
* [[Head of Personnel]]: 1 (min 10 day player age)
* [[Head of Security]]: 1 (min 14 day player age)
* [[Captain]]: 1 (min 14 day player age)
* [[Cyborg]]: 1 (available at round start only) (min 21 day player age)
* [[AI]]: 1 (available at round start only) (min 30 day player age)

Starter guide

2023-06-24T12:08:43Z

Wrill:

This guide is designed for ease of use for first time players, so non-essential information is segregated to expandable text boxes. Reading these isn't necessary to get into the game, but it's recommended.
= [[What is SS13|What is SS13?]] =
{{Speech
|name=Tuterr, the Private Eye
|text=Hmph. Fresh off the boat from Nanotrasen's recruitment office, huh? Let me tell you something, kid. You won't last five minutes on this floating deathtrap without help. You're as likely to be left for dead in a dark maintenance tunnel riddled with bullet holes as you are to get out of here alive. Lucky for you, I'm in a helpful mood today.
|image=[[File:Generic detective.png|64px|right]]
}}

'''Space Station 13''' is a multiplayer sandbox that has a heavy focus on player interaction. In the year 2557, the megacorporation Nanotrasen has employed you as a staff member onboard their latest state of the art research station. Nanotrasen claims to be researching plasma, a mysterious new substance, but rumors are abound that the station is little more than a twisted social experiment...

At the start of each round, each player is assigned a [[Jobs|role]] onboard the station. There are many [[Jobs|jobs]], such as the [[scientist]] performing [[Guide_to_Research_and_Development|research and development]] of new technologies, the [[Medical_Doctor|medical doctor]] trying to keep people alive, or the simple [[janitor]]. There are many different ways to play. The game also randomly chooses a [[Game Mode|a round type]], ranging from [[Nuclear Operative|an all out assault on the station by nuclear operatives]], a [[Blood Cult|sinister cult sacrificing crewmembers to summon their god]], or more commonly, [[Traitor|good ol' fashioned traitors]]. Every round on Space Station 13 is different.
= Before Playing =

'''It's important to [[https://beestation13.com/rules read the rules]] before connecting for the first time.''' Some common new player mistakes to avoid include:
* Being violent towards other crew members without any reason. This is only okay if you're an [[Terminology#Antag|antagonist]], and you will be notified if you're chosen to be one. If they grab you by your butt and try to [[Terminology#Spacing|space]] you, feel free to [[Terminology#Robust/Robusting|robust]] them. (Telling the admins you were "roleplaying an insane person" will get a couple laughs, but you'll still get banned.)
*You can press the mentorhelp button (found in the "MENTOR" tab above the chat) at any time to send a message directly to the mentor team if you have any questions.
One last point: Please, '''remember the human'''. SS13 can be highly frustrating, you will be unceremoniously killed, griefed, or die to some galactic space-bug shortly before executing your master plan. Everyone is here to play a game they enjoy, so keep that in mind before you bash someone's brain in with a toolbox because they took your [[Engineering_items#Multitool|multitool]].
== Setting Up ==

Make your way to the [https://www.byond.com/download/ BYOND download page] and '''download the client'''. Once you've downloaded, installed, and logged into the client, feel free to close it - we won't be needing to use it directly anymore. Once you're set up, choose a server to join:
* '''BeeStation Sage:''' byond://sage.beestation13.com:7878
*'''BeeStation Acacia:''' byond://acacia.beestation13.com:7979
If you can't use these links to join, open the BYOND client, press '''Ctrl and O''', and paste the link to the server you want to join.
<div style="text-align: left; max-width: 800px;">{{#tag:tab|Sage is our main server, it is usually the one with higher population and Acacia is our overflow server, it is up 24/7 just like sage but it is intended to be used when sage is too full or if you like lower populations. There is also Linden, a server that is rarely every up as it is only used when large admin events are being hosted, go on the discord (discord.gg/ss13) to see when an event is taking place!.|dropdown=true|collapsed=true|name=Server Differences}}</div>
[[File:Newplayeroptions.png|left|thumb|The New Player Options menu]] Once you've connected to a server, you'll be greeted by a small popup window labelled '''New Player Options'''.
If this is your first time playing on BeeStation, you'll need to create a character. Click on the '''Setup Character''' button, and the character creation menu will open.
[[File:Character_settings.PNG|thumb|The character setup screen]]
You don't need to worry about Special Names, Custom job preferences, Uplink Spawn Location, or Species - for now, '''make sure you're a human''', and edit your appearance as you see fit. There's no difference between clothing/backpack options other than appearance, so pick what you think looks best.
<div style="text-align: left; max-width: 800px;">{{#tag:tab|Special names are names specific to certain roles - for example, if you're the clown, you may want a funny name instead of your regular one. The name policy is relaxed on these, so if you have a funny idea for a name, go nuts (within reason - this is at admin discretion). The only custom job preference is specific to security officers, and allows you to choose the department you'd like to monitor. The Uplink spawn location is specific to the [[traitor]] role, and determines the item you can access your [[uplink]] from, where you can purchase different tools to accomplish your goals. The various species options have some effects on gameplay - you can browse the articles for [[lizardmen|lizards]], [[flypeople]], and [[plasmamen]] for more info.|dropdown=true|collapsed=true|name=What does all the ignored stuff do?}}</div>
<div style="text-align: left; max-width: 800px;">{{#tag:tab|The AI on the station sometimes follows [[Asimov|the three rules of robotics]] This means that if you aren't human, the AI can ignore you freely and can cause harm to you if they want. Most players will avoid needlessly antagonizing anyone not playing a human, but it's much better to be safe than sorry.
 
Humans are also simpler and easier to understand than those [[Guide to races|other races.]]|dropdown=true|collapsed=true|name=Why do I need to be a human?}}</div>
Once you've finished editing your appearance, be sure to press the '''Save Setup''' button at the bottom of the window. Next, press the '''Set Occupation Preferences''' button.

{{Speech
|name=Tuterr, the Private Eye
|text=You're brand new here, so make sure you sign up as an Assistant. Nanotrasen usually has checks to make sure fresh meat doesn't get to be the Captain, but if you manage to end up in that position, you'll probably be just another case for me to solve.|image=[[File:Generic detective.png|64px|right]]
}}

[[File:New_Occupation_screen.JPG|thumb|left|The occupation preferences window]]
[[File:Game_prefences_Screen.PNG|thumb|The game preferences window]]
If the button next to Assistant is a red '''NO''', click it once so that it says '''YES''' in green text. This sets your job to be assistant, no matter what.
<div style="text-align: left; max-width: 800px;">{{#tag:tab|When the game begins, the server checks each players occupation preferences, and assigns jobs accordingly. You can pick '''High''', '''Medium''', '''Low''', or '''Never'''. Each player is limited to one High preference job. Some roles have limited player counts - for example, there is only one Captain. There is no limit on assistants, and it's a role that has no responsibilities, so it's ideal for getting to grips with the game. Some jobs that are critical to game progression are locked off until a certain amount of time has passed since your first login. Check the [[Job selection and assignment|job selection and assignment page]] for more info.|dropdown=true|collapsed=true|name=What does all the ignored stuff do?}}</div>
After that, press '''Done''', then, '''Save Setup'''. Then click on '''Game Preferences''' at the top of the character creation screen. The menu will change and have a big list of options.

Make sure all of the Special Role Settings are set to '''No''' (These control optional settings, like choosing if you'd like to roll for a traitor role - they assume you know how to play the game and are important to the round, so we want them off for now.) '''More importantly, change the Keybindings option to [[Keyboard_Shortcuts|"Hotkeys"]]'''. This guide will assume you're using this control scheme, as it provides quicker functions for actions than the default controls. Most of the options here are relatively self explanatory or irrelevant, so once you're done, click '''Save Setup''' one last time and close the window.
 
==Joining the Game==

Now that you've created your character, you're ready to join the game. (You may want to continue to read the guide before jumping in.)

There's two possible menus here - the lobby screen will either display a list that has '''Join Game!''' or a '''Ready'''/'''Not Ready''' toggle.
<tabs>
<tab name="Join Game!">[[File:Job_select_screen.PNG|thumb|The choose profession window]] <div style="text-align: center;">If the window says '''Join Game!''', there's currently a round going on. This is most likely what you'll see. Click on the button, and a window will pop up asking you to choose a profession. The jobs available will vary, but for now, pick '''Assistant'''. (The numbers in the brackets next to the job title show the current number of players who have been assigned that job for the round, if there is a zero inside the brackets, no one has been assigned to that job for the round. When you click on the job you want, you'll be brought to the station via the [[Arrivals|arrival shuttle]]. You'll start out on a transit shuttle that will dock at the station in a few seconds - you'll also be strapped into a chair, so don't forget to unbuckle yourself. (You can do this by clicking the '''Resist''' button - don't worry if you aren't sure which button that is yet, as it's explained further down the guide.)</div></tab>
<tab name="Ready/Not Ready/Observe"><div style="text-align: center;">If the window has three buttons that say '''Ready''', '''Not Ready''', and '''Observe''', that means a round has not started yet. This is ideal, because you'll be playing the round from the beginning, when things are the going to be calm and allow you to get your bearings in a relatively safe environment. Toggle the button to '''Ready''', then wait for the game to begin. (You can see the time until the game begins on the '''Lobby''' tab, on the top right of the game window.) Pressing '''Observe''' will spawn you as a [[ghost]], which is essentially a spectator - you won't be able to spawn normally until the next round if you select this option!</div></tab>
</tabs>
==Interface 101==
===Tabs===
[[File:Status tab top.png|left|thumb|Status Tab.]]
Before you do anything else, take a look at the top right of the game window. You'll see some tabs labelled '''Status''', '''Lobby''', '''Admin''', '''IC''', '''Mentor,''' '''OOC''', '''Object''', and '''Preferences'''. The most important tabs are the Status and Admin tabs. If you're using internals (an oxygen tank and mask), the Status tab tells you the remaining air pressure - useful for avoiding death by suffocation. The Admin tab contains the '''Adminhelp''' button, used to contact admins directly if you have a question or believe someone is breaking the rules. The Mentor tab contains the '''Mentorhelp''' button, used to ask mentors questions, and the '''Request Mentor Assistance''' button, which gives any ghosted mentors the option to become an imaginary friend and help with anything you're confused about.
<div style="text-align: left; max-width: 800px;">{{#tag:tab|
; Status : Displays important info such as your ping, the current map, pressure remaining in airtanks, etc.
; Admin : Contains buttons that allow you if any admins are online, and most importantly, to send a message directly to the admins (the '''Adminhelp''' button). If no admins are online, the message will be forwarded to the admin IRC channel.
; Mentor : Contains buttons that allow you to see if any mentors are online, and allow you to ask a question directly to the mentors (the "Mentorhelp" button). Mentorhelps are not forwarded like adminhelps.
; IC : Stands for "In Character". Usually won't use this. (The '''Pray''' button allows you to send a message to any admins online in character - often used for "communicating with the gods". Another useful button is '''Rest''', which lets you go prone at will.)
; OOC : Stands for "Out of Character". Again, rarely needs to be used. Various functions that are related to the game, but not something your character does (eg. seeing the number of players online).
; Object : Never used. Contains buttons to manipulate objects (eg. drag/stop dragging an object), but there are [[Keyboard_Shortcuts|hotkeys]] to do these things much faster.
; Preferences : Self explanatory - contains various options you can toggle on and off.|dropdown=true|collapsed=true|name=Tab descriptions}}</div>
In the '''Status''' tab, take note of the map currently being played on the server. It'll be used later in the guide.
===HUD ===

}}
The biggest barrier to entry in Space Station 13 is the controls. The UI is, at a glance, complex, and the controls are unintuitive. Thankfully, once it clicks, you'll never have an issue with it again. '''Don't let it overwhelm you - after a round or two of practice, you should be fine.'''

The top right of the screen contains the action tabs mentioned previously, and the bottom right is the text log. This is where you can see what people are saying, what's happening around you, and chat such as OOC or adminhelps. The bar along the bottom of the screen is the input bar, but since we're on [[Keyboard_Shortcuts|Hotkey]] mode we won't need to use it. There's quite a few HUD elements on the main screen, so let's break them down into sections. '''Don't worry if you can't memorize what everything does at once''' - you can always come back to this guide.
<tabs>
<tab name="Hands">[[File:Hud-hands.gif]] One of the most important elements of the HUD. You have the ability to hold an item in each hand (unless an item takes up both hands, obviously). The square around one of the hands is the '''selected hand'''. If you have an '''empty''' selected hand, and click on an object, you'll pick it up/open it/use it. If '''an object is in your selected hand''' and you click on something, you'll use it on the item you're holding. (The way this works means that if you'd like to unequip your backpack, you need to click and drag the bag into your hand - if it was removed by clicking on it, you'd never be able to open the bag.)

'''If this seems confusing, don't worry - it'll be explained shortly.'''</tab>
<tab name="Inventory Buttons">These icons manage your inventory.

The backpack [[File:Hud-inventory.png]] icon can be toggled to show your worn equipment.

The belt [[File:Hud-Belt.png]], backpack [[File:Hud-Back.png]], and pocket [[File:Hud-Pocket.png]] icons are all storage locations.

The ID [[File:Hud-ID.png]] slot can hold your ID, or your PDA (which can hold your ID).</tab>
<tab name="Interact Commands">These buttons directly affect how you interact with objects.

The drop [[File:Hud-drop.png]] and throw [[File:Hud-throw.png]] icons do what the name implies. Dropping is self explanatory, but the throw button is a toggle - if it's on and you click somewhere, you'll throw the item in your hand at where you clicked. (You can also press R to enable throwing and Q to drop your held item.)

The pull [[File:Hud-pull.png]] icon only appears when dragging something, and can be pressed to stop dragging an object. [[Keyboard_Shortcuts|Hotkey]]: "del".

The internals [[File:Gmaskinternalsicon.gif]] icon can be clicked to enable/disable your internals (oxygen tank and breath mask).

The resist [[File:Hud-resist.png]] icon can be pressed to break out of grabs, restraints, and if you're on fire, is the "stop drop and roll" button. [[Keyboard_Shortcuts|Hotkey]]: "B".

The run/walk toggle [[File:Hud-walkrun.gif]] icon can be pressed to switch between running and walking. Running is faster, but walking has benefits, such as being able to walk over water without slipping - useful for when the janitor doesn't put wet floor signs down. [[Keyboard_Shortcuts|Hotkey]]: Hold "alt" to walk.

The body selector [[File:Hud-target.gif]] icon is used to choose which body part you want to target. This is used for both targeting specific sections to heal, or targeting specific sections when attacking someone. Click a limb to target it. (You can target individual arms, legs, the head, the upper torso, the groin, the eyes, or the mouth.) [[Keyboard_Shortcuts|Hotkeys]]: "numpad keys".

Last but not least is the intent selector [[File:Hud-intent.gif]] - this will be explained in detail later. It has four modes: '''Help''', '''Disarm''', '''Grab''', and '''Harm''', in clockwise order. [[Keyboard_Shortcuts|Hotkeys]]: "1-4".</tab>
<tab name="Other">The health [[File:Hud_100_percent_Health.gif]] icon and [[File:Healthdoll.gif]] doll change depending on how injured you are.

The crafting menu [[File:Craft.gif]] icon opens the crafting menu.

The speech bubble [[File:Talk_wheel.gif]] icon opens the languages menu. You won't need to use this for the tutorial.

The create area [[File:Area_edit.gif]] icon is used to create an "area", which is a more advanced topic. You won't need to worry about it for this tutorial.</tab>
<tab name="Alerts">These will only appear on the HUD if something is wrong.

[[File:Hud-oxy.gif]] '''Oxygen warning''' - The air you're breathing doesn't have enough oxygen.

[[File:Hud-pressure.gif]] '''Pressure warning''' - Pressure levels are too high (red) or too low (black). Low and high pressures can kill you.

[[File:tox_in_air.gif]] '''Toxin warning''' - You are breathing in toxic gases.

[[File:Hud-fire.png]] '''Fire warning''' - The air is hot enough to burn you.

[[File:Hud-freeze.gif]] '''Freeze warning''' - The air is cold enough to freeze you.

[[File:Hud-temp.gif]] '''Temperature warning''' - You're too cold or too hot.

[[File:Hud-hunger.gif]] '''Hunger warning''' - You're starting to get hungry. You cannot die from hunger, but the longer you go without food, the slower you will be able to run. You can also eat too much and become bloated.</tab>
</tabs>
==Controls==
[[File:Hotkeys.png|thumb|500px|[[Keyboard_Shortcuts|Keybindings]] for the hotkey mode.]]
Don’t get scared by the hotkey image. It shows ''all'' the controls and their alternatives. This might seem like a lot, but don't worry, you'll only be using a few most of the time. The control are quite elegantly designed. There are exceptions, but for the most part you will be able to anything from surgery to nuclear science with the exact same controls.

The default control scheme is “hotkeys” set in the game preferences menu. In case it’s not working you will see the bottom-right textbox in a red color. Click anywhere in the game window and press '''Tab'''. The textbox should go white showing that you are in “hotkey” mode.
* Use the '''WASD''' keys to move around.
*Press the '''X''' key to swap your active hand. The hand system is explained below.
*Press the '''Q''' key to drop what you are currently holding in your hand on the ground.
*Press the '''T''' key to talk. Prefix what you say with a semicolon (;) to say it in the global radio channel. Use the '''M''' key for non-verbal actions like “smile” or “wave”. Use the '''O''' key for OOC chat.
* Use '''left click''' on a thing to interact with it. Interact means different things based on the thing you are clicking. Use '''right click''' for a context menu (mostly used for stacks of items).
*Press the '''Z''' key with an item in hand to “use” it.
*Use '''SHIFT + click''' on anything to examine it. Your new favorite button combo. It will describe what you are looking at. As a new player you will be using this ''very often''.
If you just want to just jump into a round immediately the above controls should be enough for your first round. Doing a task like asking someone where the drink vending machine is, buying and then drinking something.

If you are not as impatient skim the '''[[FullControls|full controls page here]]'''. You can also check out all the available [[Keyboard Shortcuts|hotkeys]].

Before getting into anything else, it's important to note that since SS13 is such an open ended game that has other people in it, when you get in game and try to follow the guide, things may go wrong - the station might have been almost entirely consumed by a singularity, a traitor could attack you with a powerful weapon, or something no one could have predicted will kill you. It's important to '''not let death get to you''' - Rule 10 exists for a reason! There are multiple ways you can be brought back into the game - don't get frustrated if something happens.

As a brand-new player, your first objective is simply joining the station as non-essential crew and attempting to survive, escaping via the evacuation shuttle or one of the pods located around the station. From there, you can branch out into more of the specific concepts that are often stumbling blocks for newer players, so let's address those first. (These are all in expandable boxes to save space, but it's not a bad idea to read them beforehand.)
===The Hands System===
If an item requires two hands to use, then the other hand slot will instead be labeled as “off-hand”. Why do I start by telling you this? Because only one hand can be selected at a time. Imagine yourself as a creature with one hand. You only sprout a second hand when you need to use two handed items.

Another time when you sprout an extra hand is to JUST hold an item. That is because your hands are also just a part of your inventory. However, think of them as an “active” part of your inventory. You place items in these “active” slots when you want to use them.

The bright box around one of your hands is the selected hand. Swap your selected hand with the '''X''' key. This is the hand that's used whenever you click on something. If it’s empty. Otherwise, you will use what you are holding in your hand on what you clicked on.

This can also cause problems with backpacks, boxes, and other containers. If you want to open a container, '''Alt + Click''' it. You can also pick it up, then switch hands and click on the container with an empty hand. Clicking on a container with an object will put it in the container. This also means that if you'd like to '''take your backpack off''', you need to click and drag the bag to an empty hand - a normal click just opens the equipped bag.

If you find this confusing, you should go check out the full controls page. It goes hand in hand (GET IT!?) with this explanation. If you still find it confusing, then maybe you should play your first round already because it really is not that complicated.
===[[Intent|Intents]]===
The intent selector has four modes: '''help''' [[File:Intent_Help.png]], '''disarm [[File:Intent_Disarm.png]]''', '''grab''' [[File:Intent_Grab.png]], and '''harm [[File:Intent_Harm.png]]'''. This system mostly controls how you interact with this your bare hands. You can learn more about these uses on [[Intent|the intents page]]. It's not, however, critical that you learn this right now. When it comes to using '''things''' this system is much simpler then it appears. Using a crowbar on someone will hit them '''regardless''' of intent. Most items work like that. Instead when it comes to '''things''' there are special use cases, for example:
*While doing surgery, if you are '''not''' on help [[File:Intent_Help.png]] intent, you will intentionally botch it.
*Clicking on something next to you with a gun will shot them point blank. If, however, you are on harm '''[[File:Intent_Harm.png]]''' intent you will hit them with the weapon instead.
*Using harm '''[[File:Intent_Harm.png]]''' intent on an airlock with a welder will weld it shut instead of repair it.
You don't need to know these things know. It's just so you understand the types of specific thing you will use intents for. These exceptions are not important to memorize. The only intent related thing I want you to know for now is that clicking on people with and empty hand with help [[File:Intent_Help.png]] intent will hug them.
===Damage===
There are a few different damage types in SS13. If you take enough damage, you'll fall unconscious into critical condition, better known as '''Crit'''. If left untreated in this state, you'll slowly suffocate until you die.

'''[[Guide_to_medicine#Brute|Brute]]''' damage is received from physical attacks - punches, kicks, toolboxes, hatchets - if someone is hitting you over the head with it, it does Brute damage.

'''[[Guide_to_medicine#Burns|Burn]]''' damage is received from fire or exposure to the vacuum of space.

'''[[Guide_to_medicine#Toxins|Toxin]]''' damage is received from breathing in poison gases, attacks from enemies like giant spiders, ingesting poison, drinking too much booze, or generally having any harmful chemical in your blood.

'''[[Guide_to_medicine#Suffocation|Oxygen]]''' damage is received from being unable to breathe, or while in critical condition. It goes down over time by itself if you're not in crit.

'''[[Guide_to_medicine#Brain_damage|Brain]]''' damage is reveived from being [[Guide_to_genetics#Cloning|cloned]] or [[Guide_to_chemistry#Methamphetamine|other things]]. Can randomly cause [[Guide_to_Traumas|brain traumas]]. Those suffering from brain damage usually need [[Guide_to_chemistry#Mannitol|chemicals]] to cure their condition.

'''[[Guide_to_medicine#Cellular_damage|Cellular]]''' damage is reveived from being [[Guide_to_genetics#Cloning|cloned]] or from being fed on by a [[Slime|slime]]. Can be cured with [[Guide_to_medicine#Cryogenics_Tube|cryo]] treatment.

Brute and Burn damage are applied to specific limbs. If you've been smacked in the head with a toolbox a few times, you'll have to aim at your head (with numpad keys) when you use a bruise pack. Most [[Guide_to_chemistry#Medicines|medicines]] can be ingested to heal damage anywhere on your body. If you take enough damage to one limb, you can be '''dismembered'''. You will need [[Surgery#Prosthetic_Replacement|surgery]] to replace lost limbs.
===Combat===
Combat in SS13 is very heavily focused on '''who falls over first'''. If you're prone, you've likely lost. This means items like [[General_items#Soap|soap]] [[File:Soaps.gif]] or [[Security_items#Disabler|disablers]] [[File:ModernDisabler.png]] are extremely useful.

If you get into a fight, consider your options - it may be best to try and simply run away. If you think you can disarm your opponent, you could turn the tables by taking their weapon. Combat in SS13 is fast paced and revolves around a lot of back and forth swipes, almost like a strange joust between 2D spacemen.

Getting better at combat in SS13 requires practice - there's only so much you can be taught. The rest is learning how to create and take advantage of opportunities. Hopefully, you won't have to get into many fights as you start out.

To learn more about combat and how to win fights, see the [[Guide_to_Combat|Guide to Combat]].
===Ghosts===
If you end up dying, don't worry, there's a few ways to go from there.

If you try to move, you'll '''[[ghost]]''' out of your corpse. This is essentially spectator mode - you can communicate with other dead players (and talking about the round out of character is okay in this chat) by talking normally and are able to fly around the entire map. (Note that while it's okay to talk about the round in deadchat, if you're revived, '''you cannot use any information gained while dead'''. Anything you saw while alive is fair game.)

If you die, you can be [[Cloning|cloned]], revived via [[defibrillator]], turned into a [[podperson]], have your brain removed and put into a [[cyborg]], or more. There are '''ghost roles''' that can be played by dead players - some areas have objects that, when clicked on as a ghost, will spawn you as a new character. (You're a new character, so don't use any information from your past life.) There may even be alerts that pop up while you're dead, asking if you'd like to take control of a [[xenomorph]], a [[morph]], or almost anything else. These are often provided by admins, but can occasionally happen via random event. '''Please note that if you take on a ghost role you CANNOT be cloned or return to your original body!'''

|text=Hello! The automatic diagnostic and announcement system welcomes you to Space Station 13. Remember: Have a secure day.
|image=[[File:AI.gif|64px|right]]
}}

Now that we've gone over the interface and some more important game concepts, let's jump into the game. If you join a game in progress, you'll spawn on the [[Arrivals|arrival shuttle]]. (You'll start buckled onto a chair as the shuttle docks with the station - press the '''Resist''' button on the HUD or the picture of the chair to unbuckle yourself). Otherwise, you'll be spawned in a random, public area of the station.

BeeStation has multiple maps that the server will occasionally change to. The "standard" station layout is [[BoxStation|Box Station]], but the game can also take place on [[MetaStation|Meta Station]], [[PubbyStation|Pubby Station]], [[DeltaStation|Delta Station]], or [[CorgStation|Corg Station]]. You can visit the individual wiki pages to see the layout of a specific map.

Each station has a unique layout, so you'll likely want to use these maps to get your bearings.
*"BoxStation" [https://affectedarc07.github.io/SS13WebMap/BeeStation/BoxStation/ Click here for a map of BoxStation.] Visit [[BoxStation|the wiki page for BoxStation]] for more details.
*"MetaStation" [https://affectedarc07.github.io/SS13WebMap/BeeStation/MetaStation/ Click here for a map of MetaStation.] Visit [[MetaStation|the wiki page for MetaStation]] for more details.

Since you've chosen [[Assistant]] as your role, you'll have no responsibilities. This means you can safely attempt to get your bearings without fear of someone telling you that you need to be doing something. This guide will list a few tasks for you to perform so you can put the concepts discussed above into practice. It might be awkward at first, but it doesn't take much time to get to grips with how to control your character.

Eventualy, once you're confident in the controls, why not consider doing some [[How to Roleplay|roleplaying]]? Theres also [[How to Roleplay|a guide]] to help with that.
==What to do if There's a Breach==
If you hear the telltale sound of air being sucked out of a room or see a hole in the station, something's gone wrong and caused a breach. It's wise to avoid being exposed to the vacuum of space for too long, but if you need to pass by, you can put '''internals''' on.

When you spawn, inside your backpack is an emergency kit with a [[Emergency Oxygen Tank|small tank of O2]], a [[Breath Mask|breath mask]], and an [[Epipen|epipen]] to stabilize someone who's in crit.
# Using an empty hand, click on your backpack, then click + drag the box inside to your character's sprite. This will open the box.
#Take the breath mask and put it on your mask [[File:Hud-Mask.png]] slot (press the equipment [[File:Hud-inventory.png]] icon to see it).
#Take the O2 tank and put it in one of your pockets. This leaves your hands free for other tasks.
#Press the internals [[File:Gmaskinternalsicon.gif]] icon to turn on your air supply.

This will keep you breathing clean air - make sure to avoid exposure to a vacuum for too long, and watch your air tank's supply in the Status bar!

|[[File:Backpack.png]]'''1. Inventory Management:'''
: The inventory system is a little unintuitive at first, but once you figure it out, it'll stay with you.
:Items in the game have 4 different "weight classes," tiny, small, normal, and bulky. These weight classes determine in which storage slots it can fit in, and what they can't fit in.
:If you are wearing a jumpsuit, the two item storage slots to the rightmost of your screen are your pockets. These pockets can only store tiny items.
:Your hands are where you can grab items and interact with them.
: Your back is where you should have your backpack. Your backpack is your main storage space, but it can only fit a limited amount of items. You can stuff tiny, small, and normal classed items into your backpack. However, normal classed items will take up more storage space than a tiny classed item.
: Your belt is where you store your toolbelt, (if you are an [[engineer]]), your gun, or a variety of other different items, which range from swords to defibrillators.
:The items which you can fit in your suit storage (on the leftmost of your screen, below your gloves) depend on the uniform you are wearing. For example, a hardsuit would allow you to fit an oxygen tank in there, whilst an armor vest would allow you to fit a taser in there.
|-
|[[File:Nuvola apps important.svg|25px]]'''2. Hazards:'''
:<s>A good start to reacting against someone beating your teeth in is by screaming ";HELP <LOCATION NAME> <GUY BEATING YOU UP> IS A [[Jobs#Antagonists|<TRAITOR/LING/WHATEVER>]]. This allows security to flag that guy down as arrest, which means that if a security officer encounters that person again, they see an arrest overlay.</s>
:Try running away instead of fighting unless you are a security officer, remember 99% of the time you aren't a trained combatant and should try contacting security instead of just screaming that theres an antagonist in your exact location

:[[Random events#Radiation Storm|Radiation Storm:]] A message stating '''''"High levels of radiation detected near the station. Maintenance is best shielded from radiation."''''' will broadcast. Normally, if the heads are competent, a station-wide emergency will then be declared opening up maintenance even if you don't have access. All you have to do now is mill in maintenance until the radiation storm passes over.
: If there's cries of revolutionaries or a cult, [[Blood Cult|blood]] or [[Clockwork Cult|otherwise]] over the radio, it's probably in your best interests to secure a pair of sunglasses and head towards security to get implanted (or baton "unconverted"). It's not unknown for security to become particularly trigger-happy towards unimplanted crewmembers.

==What Jobs to Take After Your First Round==
The best beginner jobs are ones where no one is going to come to you asking for something you don't really understand. assistant is the best because no one expects anything at all from you. You are free to explore and play with the controls. However once you get a grip on the controls is recommended to move to a job where still no one expects anything, but that have a designated objective. The recommended assistant ''plus'' roles are:
*[[Janitor]]: People will expect nothing from you except maybe that you clean the floor.
*[[Curator]]: The library is practically abandoned. Play with board games and painting. Organize books. Get fun loot from your curator beacon.
*[[Cargo Technician|Cargo Tech]]: Move crates until you die. It is said that all SS13 journeys begin and end in cargo. This is because cargo is of vital importance to several game modes. As a CT you will get to see the flow of these rounds first hand. However, your job will still remain to be just moving crates.
After that it's time to move on to some real roles. Funnily enough, the best way to learn these roles is to sign up as an assistant again. You are going to use this role as intended and actually assist some departments. Going to the [[Head of Personnel|HoP]] or whatever place you want to learn about and asking nicely for someone to teach you is a very effective way to learn. The [[Head of Personnel|HoP]] can even give you custom job titles like "medical intern" or "brig receptionist". Job that are good for this are: [[Medical Doctor]], [[Scientist]], [[Station Engineer]]... This is also the best way to dip your toes safely into being a [[Security Officer]]. Be careful, because it's very easy to play security poorly, and [[Shitcurity|letting the power get to your head is a bad idea]].

Avoid joke roles such as the [[Clown]] or [[Mime]] at first. Many players find harassing the on board entertainment much more fun than any jokes the clown might otherwise have.

After some time, when you're confident enough in your combat abilities, you should enable antagonists within your game preferences, so that you can roll for antag when the shift starts. A good half of the game is arguably being an antag and beating everyone up. Don't be scared that you will be a bad antag. Due to the fact that you can't predict what or when it will happen everyone was a painfully obvious antag at one point. It's just how the game works. You should however avoid team antag roles. [[Blood Cult|Blood cult]], blood brothers, [[Revolutionary|revolutions]], [[Clockwork Cult|clock cultists]], [[Nuclear Operative|nuclear operatives]], [[Xenomorph|xenomoprhs]]... The most common and "safe" antag options to dip you toes in are [[Traitor]] and [[Changeling]].

Wrill:

This guide is designed for ease of use for first time players, so non-essential information is segregated to expandable text boxes. Reading these isn't necessary to get into the game, but it's recommended.

|text=Hmph. Fresh off the boat from Nanotrasen's recruitment office, huh? Let me tell you something, kid. You won't last five minutes on this floating deathtrap without help.

'''Space Station 13''' is a multiplayer sandbox that has a heavy focus on player interaction. In the year 2557, the megacorporation Nanotrasen has employed you as a staff member onboard their latest state of the art research station. Nanotrasen claims to be researching plasma, a mysterious new substance, but rumors are abound that the station is little more than a twisted social experiment...

At the start of each round, each player is assigned a [[Jobs|role]] onboard the station. There are many [[Jobs|jobs]], such as the [[scientist]] performing [[Guide_to_Research_and_Development|research and development]] of new technologies, the [[Medical_Doctor|medical doctor]] trying to keep people alive, or the simple [[janitor]]. There are many different ways to play. The game also randomly chooses a [[Game Mode|a round type]], ranging from [[Nuclear Operative|an all out assault on the station by nuclear operatives]], a [[Blood Cult|sinister cult sacrificing crewmembers to summon their god]], or more commonly, [[Traitor|good ol' fashioned traitors]]. Every round on Space Station 13 is different.
= Before Playing =

'''It's important to [[https://beestation13.com/rules read the rules]] before connecting for the first time.''' Some common new player mistakes to avoid include:
* Being violent towards other crew members without any reason. This is only okay if you're an [[Terminology#Antag|antagonist]], and you will be notified if you're chosen to be one. If they grab you by your butt and try to [[Terminology#Spacing|space]] you, feel free to [[Terminology#Robust/Robusting|robust]] them. (Telling the admins you were "roleplaying an insane person" will get a couple laughs, but you'll still get banned.)
*You can press the mentorhelp button (found in the "MENTOR" tab above the chat) at any time to send a message directly to the mentor team if you have any questions.
One last point: Please, '''remember the human'''. SS13 can be highly frustrating, you will be unceremoniously killed, griefed, or die to some galactic space-bug shortly before executing your master plan. Everyone is here to play a game they enjoy, so keep that in mind before you bash someone's brain in with a toolbox because they took your [[Engineering_items#Multitool|multitool]].
== Setting Up ==

Make your way to the [https://www.byond.com/download/ BYOND download page] and '''download the client'''. Once you've downloaded, installed, and logged into the client, feel free to close it - we won't be needing to use it directly anymore. Once you're set up, choose a server to join:
* '''BeeStation Sage:''' byond://sage.beestation13.com:7878
*'''BeeStation Acacia:''' byond://acacia.beestation13.com:7979
If you can't use these links to join, open the BYOND client, press '''Ctrl and O''', and paste the link to the server you want to join.
<div style="text-align: left; max-width: 800px;">{{#tag:tab|Sage is our main server, it is usually the one with higher population and Acacia is our overflow server, it is up 24/7 just like sage but it is intended to be used when sage is too full or if you like lower populations. There is also Linden, a server that is rarely every up as it is only used when large admin events are being hosted, go on the discord (discord.gg/ss13) to see when an event is taking place!.|dropdown=true|collapsed=true|name=Server Differences}}</div>
[[File:Newplayeroptions.png|left|thumb|The New Player Options menu]] Once you've connected to a server, you'll be greeted by a small popup window labelled '''New Player Options'''.
If this is your first time playing on BeeStation, you'll need to create a character. Click on the '''Setup Character''' button, and the character creation menu will open.
[[File:Character_settings.PNG|thumb|The character setup screen]]
You don't need to worry about Special Names, Custom job preferences, Uplink Spawn Location, or Species - for now, '''make sure you're a human''', and edit your appearance as you see fit. There's no difference between clothing/backpack options other than appearance, so pick what you think looks best.
<div style="text-align: left; max-width: 800px;">{{#tag:tab|Special names are names specific to certain roles - for example, if you're the clown, you may want a funny name instead of your regular one. The name policy is relaxed on these, so if you have a funny idea for a name, go nuts (within reason - this is at admin discretion). The only custom job preference is specific to security officers, and allows you to choose the department you'd like to monitor. The Uplink spawn location is specific to the [[traitor]] role, and determines the item you can access your [[uplink]] from, where you can purchase different tools to accomplish your goals. The various species options have some effects on gameplay - you can browse the articles for [[lizardmen|lizards]], [[flypeople]], and [[plasmamen]] for more info.|dropdown=true|collapsed=true|name=What does all the ignored stuff do?}}</div>
<div style="text-align: left; max-width: 800px;">{{#tag:tab|The AI: The AI on the station sometimes follows [[Asimov|the three rules of robotics]] This means that if you aren't human, the AI can ignore you freely and can cause harm to you if they want. Most players will avoid needlessly antagonizing anyone not playing a human, but it's much better to be safe than sorry.|dropdown=true|collapsed=true|name=Why do I need to be a human?}}</div>
Once you've finished editing your appearance, be sure to press the '''Save Setup''' button at the bottom of the window. Next, press the '''Set Occupation Preferences''' button.

{{Speech
|name=Tuterr, the Private Eye
|text=You're brand new here, so make sure you sign up as an Assistant. Nanotrasen usually has checks to make sure fresh meat doesn't get to be the Captain, but if you manage to end up in that position, you'll probably be just another case for me to solve.|image=[[File:Generic detective.png|64px|right]]
}}

[[File:New_Occupation_screen.JPG|thumb|left|The occupation preferences window]]
[[File:Game_prefences_Screen.PNG|thumb|The game preferences window]]
If the button next to Assistant is a red '''NO''', click it once so that it says '''YES''' in green text. This sets your job to be assistant, no matter what.
<div style="text-align: left; max-width: 800px;">{{#tag:tab|When the game begins, the server checks each players occupation preferences, and assigns jobs accordingly. You can pick '''High''', '''Medium''', '''Low''', or '''Never'''. Each player is limited to one High preference job. Some roles have limited player counts - for example, there is only one Captain. There is no limit on assistants, and it's a role that has no responsibilities, so it's ideal for getting to grips with the game. Some jobs that are critical to game progression are locked off until a certain amount of time has passed since your first login. Check the [[Job selection and assignment|job selection and assignment page]] for more info.|dropdown=true|collapsed=true|name=What does all the ignored stuff do?}}</div>
After that, press '''Done''', then, '''Save Setup'''. Then click on '''Game Preferences''' at the top of the character creation screen. The menu will change and have a big list of options.

Make sure all of the Special Role Settings are set to '''No''' (These control optional settings, like choosing if you'd like to roll for a traitor role - they assume you know how to play the game and are important to the round, so we want them off for now.) '''More importantly, change the Keybindings option to [[Keyboard_Shortcuts|"Hotkeys"]]'''. This guide will assume you're using this control scheme, as it provides quicker functions for actions than the default controls. Most of the options here are relatively self explanatory or irrelevant, so once you're done, click '''Save Setup''' one last time and close the window.
 
== Joining the Game ==

Now that you've created your character, you're ready to join the game. (You may want to continue to read the guide before jumping in.)

There's two possible menus here - the lobby screen will either display a list that has '''Join Game!''' or a '''Ready'''/'''Not Ready''' toggle.
<tabs>
<tab name="Join Game!">[[File:Job_select_screen.PNG|thumb|The choose profession window]] <div style="text-align: center;">If the window says '''Join Game!''', there's currently a round going on. This is most likely what you'll see. Click on the button, and a window will pop up asking you to choose a profession. The jobs available will vary, but for now, pick '''Assistant'''. (The numbers in the brackets next to the job title show the current number of players who have been assigned that job for the round, if there is a zero inside the brackets, no one has been assigned to that job for the round. When you click on the job you want, you'll be brought to the station via the [[Arrivals|arrival shuttle]]. You'll start out on a transit shuttle that will dock at the station in a few seconds - you'll also be strapped into a chair, so don't forget to unbuckle yourself. (You can do this by clicking the '''Resist''' button - don't worry if you aren't sure which button that is yet, as it's explained further down the guide.)</div></tab>
<tab name="Ready/Not Ready/Observe"><div style="text-align: center;">If the window has three buttons that say '''Ready''', '''Not Ready''', and '''Observe''', that means a round has not started yet. This is ideal, because you'll be playing the round from the beginning, when things are the going to be calm and allow you to get your bearings in a relatively safe environment. Toggle the button to '''Ready''', then wait for the game to begin. (You can see the time until the game begins on the '''Lobby''' tab, on the top right of the game window.) Pressing '''Observe''' will spawn you as a [[ghost]], which is essentially a spectator - you won't be able to spawn normally until the next round if you select this option!</div></tab>
</tabs>
== Interface 101 ==
=== Tabs ===
[[File:Status tab top.png|left|thumb|Status Tab.]]
Before you do anything else, take a look at the top right of the game window. You'll see some tabs labelled '''Status''', '''Lobby''', '''Admin''', '''IC''', '''Mentor,''' '''OOC''', '''Object''', and '''Preferences'''. The most important tabs are the Status and Admin tabs. If you're using internals (an oxygen tank and mask), the Status tab tells you the remaining air pressure - useful for avoiding death by suffocation. The Admin tab contains the '''Adminhelp''' button, used to contact admins directly if you have a question or believe someone is breaking the rules. The Mentor tab contains the '''Mentorhelp''' button, used to ask mentors questions, and the '''Request Mentor Assistance''' button, which gives any ghosted mentors the option to become an imaginary friend and help with anything you're confused about.
<div style="text-align: left; max-width: 800px;">{{#tag:tab|
; Status : Displays important info such as your ping, the current map, pressure remaining in airtanks, etc.
; Admin : Contains buttons that allow you if any admins are online, and most importantly, to send a message directly to the admins (the '''Adminhelp''' button). If no admins are online, the message will be forwarded to the admin IRC channel.
; Mentor : Contains buttons that allow you to see if any mentors are online, and allow you to ask a question directly to the mentors (the "Mentorhelp" button). Mentorhelps are not forwarded like adminhelps.
; IC : Stands for "In Character". Usually won't use this. (The '''Pray''' button allows you to send a message to any admins online in character - often used for "communicating with the gods". Another useful button is '''Rest''', which lets you go prone at will.)
; OOC : Stands for "Out of Character". Again, rarely needs to be used. Various functions that are related to the game, but not something your character does (eg. seeing the number of players online).
; Object : Never used. Contains buttons to manipulate objects (eg. drag/stop dragging an object), but there are [[Keyboard_Shortcuts|hotkeys]] to do these things much faster.
; Preferences : Self explanatory - contains various options you can toggle on and off.|dropdown=true|collapsed=true|name=Tab descriptions}}</div>
In the '''Status''' tab, take note of the map currently being played on the server. It'll be used later in the guide.
=== HUD ===

}}
The biggest barrier to entry in Space Station 13 is the controls. The UI is, at a glance, complex, and the controls are unintuitive. Thankfully, once it clicks, you'll never have an issue with it again. '''Don't let it overwhelm you - after a round or two of practice, you should be fine.'''

The top right of the screen contains the action tabs mentioned previously, and the bottom right is the text log. This is where you can see what people are saying, what's happening around you, and chat such as OOC or adminhelps. The bar along the bottom of the screen is the input bar, but since we're on [[Keyboard_Shortcuts|Hotkey]] mode we won't need to use it. There's quite a few HUD elements on the main screen, so let's break them down into sections. '''Don't worry if you can't memorize what everything does at once''' - you can always come back to this guide.
<tabs>
<tab name="Hands">[[File:Hud-hands.gif]] One of the most important elements of the HUD. You have the ability to hold an item in each hand (unless an item takes up both hands, obviously). The square around one of the hands is the '''selected hand'''. If you have an '''empty''' selected hand, and click on an object, you'll pick it up/open it/use it. If '''an object is in your selected hand''' and you click on something, you'll use it on the item you're holding. (The way this works means that if you'd like to unequip your backpack, you need to click and drag the bag into your hand - if it was removed by clicking on it, you'd never be able to open the bag.)

'''If this seems confusing, don't worry - it'll be explained shortly.'''</tab>
<tab name="Inventory Buttons">These icons manage your inventory.

The backpack [[File:Hud-inventory.png]] icon can be toggled to show your worn equipment.

The belt [[File:Hud-Belt.png]], backpack [[File:Hud-Back.png]], and pocket [[File:Hud-Pocket.png]] icons are all storage locations.

The ID [[File:Hud-ID.png]] slot can hold your ID, or your PDA (which can hold your ID).</tab>
<tab name="Interact Commands">These buttons directly affect how you interact with objects.

The drop [[File:Hud-drop.png]] and throw [[File:Hud-throw.png]] icons do what the name implies. Dropping is self explanatory, but the throw button is a toggle - if it's on and you click somewhere, you'll throw the item in your hand at where you clicked. (You can also press R to enable throwing and Q to drop your held item.)

The pull [[File:Hud-pull.png]] icon only appears when dragging something, and can be pressed to stop dragging an object. [[Keyboard_Shortcuts|Hotkey]]: "del".

The internals [[File:Gmaskinternalsicon.gif]] icon can be clicked to enable/disable your internals (oxygen tank and breath mask).

The resist [[File:Hud-resist.png]] icon can be pressed to break out of grabs, restraints, and if you're on fire, is the "stop drop and roll" button. [[Keyboard_Shortcuts|Hotkey]]: "B".

The run/walk toggle [[File:Hud-walkrun.gif]] icon can be pressed to switch between running and walking. Running is faster, but walking has benefits, such as being able to walk over water without slipping - useful for when the janitor doesn't put wet floor signs down. [[Keyboard_Shortcuts|Hotkey]]: Hold "alt" to walk.

The body selector [[File:Hud-target.gif]] icon is used to choose which body part you want to target. This is used for both targeting specific sections to heal, or targeting specific sections when attacking someone. Click a limb to target it. (You can target individual arms, legs, the head, the upper torso, the groin, the eyes, or the mouth.) [[Keyboard_Shortcuts|Hotkeys]]: "numpad keys".

Last but not least is the intent selector [[File:Hud-intent.gif]] - this will be explained in detail later. It has four modes: '''Help''', '''Disarm''', '''Grab''', and '''Harm''', in clockwise order. [[Keyboard_Shortcuts|Hotkeys]]: "1-4".</tab>
<tab name="Other">The health [[File:Hud_100_percent_Health.gif]] icon and [[File:Healthdoll.gif]] doll change depending on how injured you are.

The crafting menu [[File:Craft.gif]] icon opens the crafting menu.

The speech bubble [[File:Talk_wheel.gif]] icon opens the languages menu. You won't need to use this for the tutorial.

The create area [[File:Area_edit.gif]] icon is used to create an "area", which is a more advanced topic. You won't need to worry about it for this tutorial.</tab>
<tab name="Alerts">These will only appear on the HUD if something is wrong.

[[File:Hud-oxy.gif]] '''Oxygen warning''' - The air you're breathing doesn't have enough oxygen.

[[File:Hud-pressure.gif]] '''Pressure warning''' - Pressure levels are too high (red) or too low (black). Low and high pressures can kill you.

[[File:tox_in_air.gif]] '''Toxin warning''' - You are breathing in toxic gases.

[[File:Hud-fire.png]] '''Fire warning''' - The air is hot enough to burn you.

[[File:Hud-freeze.gif]] '''Freeze warning''' - The air is cold enough to freeze you.

[[File:Hud-temp.gif]] '''Temperature warning''' - You're too cold or too hot.

[[File:Hud-hunger.gif]] '''Hunger warning''' - You're starting to get hungry. You cannot die from hunger, but the longer you go without food, the slower you will be able to run. You can also eat too much and become bloated.</tab>

== Controls ==
[[File:Hotkeys.png|thumb|500px|[[Keyboard_Shortcuts|Keybindings]] for the hotkey mode.]]
Don’t get scared by the hotkey image. It shows ''all'' the controls and their alternatives. This might seem like a lot, but don't worry, you'll only be using a few most of the time. The control are quite elegantly designed. There are exceptions, but for the most part you will be able to anything from surgery to nuclear science with the exact same controls.

The default control scheme is “hotkeys” set in the game preferences menu. In case it’s not working you will see the bottom-right textbox in a red color. Click anywhere in the game window and press '''Tab'''. The textbox should go white showing that you are in “hotkey” mode.
* Use the '''WASD''' keys to move around.
* Press the '''X''' key to swap your active hand. The hand system is explained below.
* Press the '''Q''' key to drop what you are currently holding in your hand on the ground.
* Press the '''T''' key to talk. Prefix what you say with a semicolon (;) to say it in the global radio channel. Use the '''M''' key for non-verbal actions like “smile” or “wave”. Use the '''O''' key for OOC chat.
* Use '''left click''' on a thing to interact with it. Interact means different things based on the thing you are clicking. Use '''right click''' for a context menu (mostly used for stacks of items).
* Press the '''Z''' key with an item in hand to “use” it.
* Use '''SHIFT + click''' on anything to examine it. Your new favorite button combo. It will describe what you are looking at. As a new player you will be using this ''very often''.
If you just want to just jump into a round immediately the above controls should be enough for your first round. Doing a task like asking someone where the drink vending machine is, buying and then drinking something.

If you are not as impatient skim the '''[[FullControls|full controls page here]]'''. You can also check out all the available [[Keyboard Shortcuts|hotkeys]].
== Gameplay Concepts ==

|image=[[File:Generic detective.png|64px|right]]
}}

Before getting into anything else, it's important to note that since SS13 is such an open ended game that has other people in it, when you get in game and try to follow the guide, things may go wrong - the station might have been almost entirely consumed by a singularity, a traitor could attack you with a powerful weapon, or something no one could have predicted will kill you. It's important to '''not let death get to you''' - Rule 10 exists for a reason! There are multiple ways you can be brought back into the game - don't get frustrated if something happens.

As a brand-new player, your first objective is simply joining the station as non-essential crew and attempting to survive, escaping via the evacuation shuttle or one of the pods located around the station. From there, you can branch out into more of the specific concepts that are often stumbling blocks for newer players, so let's address those first. (These are all in expandable boxes to save space, but it's not a bad idea to read them beforehand.)
=== The Hands System ===
If an item requires two hands to use, then the other hand slot will instead be labeled as “off-hand”. Why do I start by telling you this? Because only one hand can be selected at a time. Imagine yourself as a creature with one hand. You only sprout a second hand when you need to use two handed items.

Another time when you sprout an extra hand is to JUST hold an item. That is because your hands are also just a part of your inventory. However, think of them as an “active” part of your inventory. You place items in these “active” slots when you want to use them.

The bright box around one of your hands is the selected hand. Swap your selected hand with the '''X''' key. This is the hand that's used whenever you click on something. If it’s empty. Otherwise, you will use what you are holding in your hand on what you clicked on.

This can also cause problems with backpacks, boxes, and other containers. If you want to open a container, '''Alt + Click''' it. You can also pick it up, then switch hands and click on the container with an empty hand. Clicking on a container with an object will put it in the container. This also means that if you'd like to '''take your backpack off''', you need to click and drag the bag to an empty hand - a normal click just opens the equipped bag.

If you find this confusing, you should go check out the full controls page. It goes hand in hand (GET IT!?) with this explanation. If you still find it confusing, then maybe you should play your first round already because it really is not that complicated.
=== [[Intent|Intents]] ===
The intent selector has four modes: '''help''' [[File:Intent_Help.png]], '''disarm [[File:Intent_Disarm.png]]''', '''grab''' [[File:Intent_Grab.png]], and '''harm [[File:Intent_Harm.png]]'''. This system mostly controls how you interact with this your bare hands. You can learn more about these uses on [[Intent|the intents page]]. It's not, however, critical that you learn this right now. When it comes to using '''things''' this system is much simpler then it appears. Using a crowbar on someone will hit them '''regardless''' of intent. Most items work like that. Instead when it comes to '''things''' there are special use cases, for example:
* While doing surgery, if you are '''not''' on help [[File:Intent_Help.png]] intent, you will intentionally botch it.
* Clicking on something next to you with a gun will shot them point blank. If, however, you are on harm '''[[File:Intent_Harm.png]]''' intent you will hit them with the weapon instead.
* Using harm '''[[File:Intent_Harm.png]]''' intent on an airlock with a welder will weld it shut instead of repair it.
You don't need to know these things know. It's just so you understand the types of specific thing you will use intents for. These exceptions are not important to memorize. The only intent related thing I want you to know for now is that clicking on people with and empty hand with help [[File:Intent_Help.png]] intent will hug them.
=== Damage ===
There are a few different damage types in SS13. If you take enough damage, you'll fall unconscious into critical condition, better known as '''Crit'''. If left untreated in this state, you'll slowly suffocate until you die.

'''[[Guide_to_medicine#Brute|Brute]]''' damage is received from physical attacks - punches, kicks, toolboxes, hatchets - if someone is hitting you over the head with it, it does Brute damage.

'''[[Guide_to_medicine#Burns|Burn]]''' damage is received from fire or exposure to the vacuum of space.

'''[[Guide_to_medicine#Toxins|Toxin]]''' damage is received from breathing in poison gases, attacks from enemies like giant spiders, ingesting poison, drinking too much booze, or generally having any harmful chemical in your blood.

'''[[Guide_to_medicine#Suffocation|Oxygen]]''' damage is received from being unable to breathe, or while in critical condition. It goes down over time by itself if you're not in crit.

'''[[Guide_to_medicine#Brain_damage|Brain]]''' damage is reveived from being [[Guide_to_genetics#Cloning|cloned]] or [[Guide_to_chemistry#Methamphetamine|other things]]. Can randomly cause [[Guide_to_Traumas|brain traumas]]. Those suffering from brain damage usually need [[Guide_to_chemistry#Mannitol|chemicals]] to cure their condition.

'''[[Guide_to_medicine#Cellular_damage|Cellular]]''' damage is reveived from being [[Guide_to_genetics#Cloning|cloned]] or from being fed on by a [[Slime|slime]]. Can be cured with [[Guide_to_medicine#Cryogenics_Tube|cryo]] treatment.

Brute and Burn damage are applied to specific limbs. If you've been smacked in the head with a toolbox a few times, you'll have to aim at your head (with numpad keys) when you use a bruise pack. Most [[Guide_to_chemistry#Medicines|medicines]] can be ingested to heal damage anywhere on your body. If you take enough damage to one limb, you can be '''dismembered'''. You will need [[Surgery#Prosthetic_Replacement|surgery]] to replace lost limbs.
=== Combat ===
Combat in SS13 is very heavily focused on '''who falls over first'''. If you're prone, you've likely lost. This means items like [[General_items#Soap|soap]] [[File:Soaps.gif]] or [[Security_items#Disabler|disablers]] [[File:ModernDisabler.png]] are extremely useful.

If you get into a fight, consider your options - it may be best to try and simply run away. If you think you can disarm your opponent, you could turn the tables by taking their weapon. Combat in SS13 is fast paced and revolves around a lot of back and forth swipes, almost like a strange joust between 2D spacemen.

Getting better at combat in SS13 requires practice - there's only so much you can be taught. The rest is learning how to create and take advantage of opportunities. Hopefully, you won't have to get into many fights as you start out.

To learn more about combat and how to win fights, see the [[Guide_to_Combat|Guide to Combat]].
=== Ghosts ===
If you end up dying, don't worry, there's a few ways to go from there.

If you try to move, you'll '''[[ghost]]''' out of your corpse. This is essentially spectator mode - you can communicate with other dead players (and talking about the round out of character is okay in this chat) by talking normally and are able to fly around the entire map. (Note that while it's okay to talk about the round in deadchat, if you're revived, '''you cannot use any information gained while dead'''. Anything you saw while alive is fair game.)

If you die, you can be [[Cloning|cloned]], revived via [[defibrillator]], turned into a [[podperson]], have your brain removed and put into a [[cyborg]], or more. There are '''ghost roles''' that can be played by dead players - some areas have objects that, when clicked on as a ghost, will spawn you as a new character. (You're a new character, so don't use any information from your past life.) There may even be alerts that pop up while you're dead, asking if you'd like to take control of a [[xenomorph]], a [[morph]], or almost anything else. These are often provided by admins, but can occasionally happen via random event. '''Please note that if you take on a ghost role you CANNOT be cloned or return to your original body!'''

Now that we've gone over the interface and some more important game concepts, let's jump into the game. If you join a game in progress, you'll spawn on the [[Arrivals|arrival shuttle]]. (You'll start buckled onto a chair as the shuttle docks with the station - press the '''Resist''' button on the HUD or the picture of the chair to unbuckle yourself). Otherwise, you'll be spawned in a random, public area of the station.

BeeStation has multiple maps that the server will occasionally change to. The "standard" station layout is [[BoxStation|Box Station]], but the game can also take place on [[MetaStation|Meta Station]], [[PubbyStation|Pubby Station]], [[DeltaStation|Delta Station]], or [[CorgStation|Corg Station]]. You can visit the individual wiki pages to see the layout of a specific map.

Each station has a unique layout, so you'll likely want to use these maps to get your bearings.

Since you've chosen [[Assistant]] as your role, you'll have no responsibilities. This means you can safely attempt to get your bearings without fear of someone telling you that you need to be doing something. This guide will list a few tasks for you to perform so you can put the concepts discussed above into practice. It might be awkward at first, but it doesn't take much time to get to grips with how to control your character.

Eventualy, once you're confident in the controls, why not consider doing some [[How to Roleplay|roleplaying]]? Theres also [[How to Roleplay|a guide]] to help with that.
== What to do if There's a Breach ==
If you hear the telltale sound of air being sucked out of a room or see a hole in the station, something's gone wrong and caused a breach. It's wise to avoid being exposed to the vacuum of space for too long, but if you need to pass by, you can put '''internals''' on.

When you spawn, inside your backpack is an emergency kit with a [[Emergency Oxygen Tank|small tank of O2]], a [[Breath Mask|breath mask]], and an [[Epipen|epipen]] to stabilize someone who's in crit.
# Using an empty hand, click on your backpack, then click + drag the box inside to your character's sprite. This will open the box.
# Take the breath mask and put it on your mask [[File:Hud-Mask.png]] slot (press the equipment [[File:Hud-inventory.png]] icon to see it).
# Take the O2 tank and put it in one of your pockets. This leaves your hands free for other tasks.
# Press the internals [[File:Gmaskinternalsicon.gif]] icon to turn on your air supply.

This will keep you breathing clean air - make sure to avoid exposure to a vacuum for too long, and watch your air tank's supply in the Status bar!

|[[File:Backpack.png]]'''1. Inventory Management:'''
:The inventory system is a little unintuitive at first, but once you figure it out, it'll stay with you.
:Items in the game have 4 different "weight classes," tiny, small, normal, and bulky. These weight classes determine in which storage slots it can fit in, and what they can't fit in.
:If you are wearing a jumpsuit, the two item storage slots to the rightmost of your screen are your pockets. These pockets can only store tiny items.
:Your hands are where you can grab items and interact with them.
:Your back is where you should have your backpack. Your backpack is your main storage space, but it can only fit a limited amount of items. You can stuff tiny, small, and normal classed items into your backpack. However, normal classed items will take up more storage space than a tiny classed item.
:Your belt is where you store your toolbelt, (if you are an [[engineer]]), your gun, or a variety of other different items, which range from swords to defibrillators.
:The items which you can fit in your suit storage (on the leftmost of your screen, below your gloves) depend on the uniform you are wearing. For example, a hardsuit would allow you to fit an oxygen tank in there, whilst an armor vest would allow you to fit a taser in there.

|[[File:Nuvola apps important.svg|25px]]'''2. Hazards:'''
:<s>A good start to reacting against someone beating your teeth in is by screaming ";HELP <LOCATION NAME> <GUY BEATING YOU UP> IS A [[Jobs#Antagonists|<TRAITOR/LING/WHATEVER>]]. This allows security to flag that guy down as arrest, which means that if a security officer encounters that person again, they see an arrest overlay.</s>
:Try running away instead of fighting unless you are a security officer, remember 99% of the time you aren't a trained combatant and should try contacting security instead of just screaming that theres an antagonist in your exact location

:[[Random events#Radiation Storm|Radiation Storm:]] A message stating '''''"High levels of radiation detected near the station. Maintenance is best shielded from radiation."''''' will broadcast. Normally, if the heads are competent, a station-wide emergency will then be declared opening up maintenance even if you don't have access. All you have to do now is mill in maintenance until the radiation storm passes over.
:If there's cries of revolutionaries or a cult, [[Blood Cult|blood]] or [[Clockwork Cult|otherwise]] over the radio, it's probably in your best interests to secure a pair of sunglasses and head towards security to get implanted (or baton "unconverted"). It's not unknown for security to become particularly trigger-happy towards unimplanted crewmembers.

== What Jobs to Take After Your First Round ==
The best beginner jobs are ones where no one is going to come to you asking for something you don't really understand. assistant is the best because no one expects anything at all from you. You are free to explore and play with the controls. However once you get a grip on the controls is recommended to move to a job where still no one expects anything, but that have a designated objective. The recommended assistant ''plus'' roles are:
* [[Janitor]]: People will expect nothing from you except maybe that you clean the floor.
* [[Curator]]: The library is practically abandoned. Play with board games and painting. Organize books. Get fun loot from your curator beacon.
* [[Cargo Technician|Cargo Tech]]: Move crates until you die. It is said that all SS13 journeys begin and end in cargo. This is because cargo is of vital importance to several game modes. As a CT you will get to see the flow of these rounds first hand. However, your job will still remain to be just moving crates.
After that it's time to move on to some real roles. Funnily enough, the best way to learn these roles is to sign up as an assistant again. You are going to use this role as intended and actually assist some departments. Going to the [[Head of Personnel|HoP]] or whatever place you want to learn about and asking nicely for someone to teach you is a very effective way to learn. The [[Head of Personnel|HoP]] can even give you custom job titles like "medical intern" or "brig receptionist". Job that are good for this are: [[Medical Doctor]], [[Scientist]], [[Station Engineer]]... This is also the best way to dip your toes safely into being a [[Security Officer]]. Be careful, because it's very easy to play security poorly, and [[Shitcurity|letting the power get to your head is a bad idea]].

Avoid joke roles such as the [[Clown]] or [[Mime]] at first. Many players find harassing the on board entertainment much more fun than any jokes the clown might otherwise have.

After some time, when you're confident enough in your combat abilities, you should enable antagonists within your game preferences, so that you can roll for antag when the shift starts. A good half of the game is arguably being an antag and beating everyone up. Don't be scared that you will be a bad antag. Due to the fact that you can't predict what or when it will happen everyone was a painfully obvious antag at one point. It's just how the game works. You should however avoid team antag roles. [[Blood Cult|Blood cult]], blood brothers, [[Revolutionary|revolutions]], [[Clockwork Cult|clock cultists]], [[Nuclear Operative|nuclear operatives]], [[Xenomorph|xenomoprhs]]... The most common and "safe" antag options to dip you toes in are [[Traitor]] and [[Changeling]].

'''Space Station 13''' is a multiplayer sandbox that has a heavy focus on player interaction. In the year 2557, the megacorporation Nanotrasen has employed you as a staff member onboard their latest state of the art research station. Nanotrasen claims to be researching plasma, a mysterious new substance, but rumors are abound that the station is little more than a twisted social experiment...

At the start of each round, each player is assigned a [[Jobs|role]] onboard the station. There are many [[Jobs|jobs]], such as the [[scientist]] performing [[Guide_to_Research_and_Development|research and development]] of new technologies, the [[Medical_Doctor|medical doctor]] trying to keep people alive, or the simple [[janitor]]. There are many different ways to play. The game also randomly chooses a [[Game Mode|a round type]], ranging from [[Nuclear Operative|an all out assault on the station by nuclear operatives]], a [[Blood Cult|sinister cult sacrificing crewmembers to summon their god]], or more commonly, [[Traitor|good ol' fashioned traitors]]. Every round on Space Station 13 is different.
= Before Playing =

'''It's important to [[https://beestation13.com/rules read the rules]] before connecting for the first time.''' Some common new player mistakes to avoid include:
* Being violent towards other crew members without any reason. This is only okay if you're an [[Terminology#Antag|antagonist]], and you will be notified if you're chosen to be one. If they grab you by your butt and try to [[Terminology#Spacing|space]] you, feel free to [[Terminology#Robust/Robusting|robust]] them. (Telling the admins you were "roleplaying an insane person" will get a couple laughs, but you'll still get banned.)
*You can press the mentorhelp button (found in the "MENTOR" tab above the chat) at any time to send a message directly to the mentor team if you have any questions.
One last point: Please, '''remember the human'''. SS13 can be highly frustrating, you will be unceremoniously killed, griefed, or die to some galactic space-bug shortly before executing your master plan. Everyone is here to play a game they enjoy, so keep that in mind before you bash someone's brain in with a toolbox because they took your [[Engineering_items#Multitool|multitool]].
== Setting Up ==

Make your way to the [https://www.byond.com/download/ BYOND download page] and '''download the client'''. Once you've downloaded, installed, and logged into the client, feel free to close it - we won't be needing to use it directly anymore. Once you're set up, choose a server to join:
* '''BeeStation Sage:''' byond://sage.beestation13.com:7878
*'''BeeStation Acacia:''' byond://acacia.beestation13.com:7979
If you can't use these links to join, open the BYOND client, press '''Ctrl and O''', and paste the link to the server you want to join.
<div style="text-align: left; max-width: 800px;">{{#tag:tab|Sage is our main server, it is usually the one with higher population and Acacia is our overflow server, it is up 24/7 just like sage but it is intended to be used when sage is too full or if you like lower populations.

[[File:Newplayeroptions.png|left|thumb|The New Player Options menu]] Once you've connected to a server, you'll be greeted by a small popup window labelled '''New Player Options'''.
If this is your first time playing on BeeStation, you'll need to create a character. Click on the '''Setup Character''' button, and the character creation menu will open.
[[File:Character_settings.PNG|thumb|The character setup screen]]
You don't need to worry about Special Names, Custom job preferences, Uplink Spawn Location, or Species - for now, '''make sure you're a human''', and edit your appearance as you see fit. There's no difference between clothing/backpack options other than appearance, so pick what you think looks best.

The only custom job preference is specific to security officers, and allows you to choose the department you'd like to monitor. The Uplink spawn location is specific to the [[traitor]] role, and determines the item you can access your [[uplink]] from, where you can purchase different tools to accomplish your goals. The various species options have some effects on gameplay - you can browse the articles for [[lizardmen|lizards]], [[flypeople]], and [[plasmamen]] for more info.|dropdown=true|collapsed=true|name=What does all the ignored stuff do?}}</div>

There is no limit on assistants, and it's a role that has no responsibilities, so it's ideal for getting to grips with the game. Some jobs that are critical to game progression are locked off until a certain amount of time has passed since your first login. Check the [[Job selection and assignment|job selection and assignment page]] for more info.|dropdown=true|collapsed=true|name=What does all the ignored stuff do?}}</div>
After that, press '''Done''', then, '''Save Setup'''. Then click on '''Game Preferences''' at the top of the character creation screen. The menu will change and have a big list of options.

Make sure all of the Special Role Settings are set to '''No''' (These control optional settings, like choosing if you'd like to roll for a traitor role - they assume you know how to play the game and are important to the round, so we want them off for now.) '''More importantly, change the Keybindings option to [[Keyboard_Shortcuts|"Hotkeys"]]'''. This guide will assume you're using this control scheme, as it provides quicker functions for actions than the default controls. Most of the options here are relatively self explanatory or irrelevant, so once you're done, click '''Save Setup''' one last time and close the window.
 
== Joining the Game ==

Now that you've created your character, you're ready to join the game. (You may want to continue to read the guide before jumping in.)

There's two possible menus here - the lobby screen will either display a list that has '''Join Game!''' or a '''Ready'''/'''Not Ready''' toggle.
<tabs>
<tab name="Join Game!">[[File:Job_select_screen.PNG|thumb|The choose profession window]] <div style="text-align: center;">If the window says '''Join Game!''', there's currently a round going on. This is most likely what you'll see. Click on the button, and a window will pop up asking you to choose a profession. The jobs available will vary, but for now, pick '''Assistant'''. (The numbers in the brackets next to the job title show the current number of players who have been assigned that job for the round, if there is a zero inside the brackets, no one has been assigned to that job for the round. When you click on the job you want, you'll be brought to the station via the [[Arrivals|arrival shuttle]]. You'll start out on a transit shuttle that will dock at the station in a few seconds - you'll also be strapped into a chair, so don't forget to unbuckle yourself. (You can do this by clicking the '''Resist''' button - don't worry if you aren't sure which button that is yet, as it's explained further down the guide.)</div></tab>
<tab name="Ready/Not Ready/Observe"><div style="text-align: center;">If the window has three buttons that say '''Ready''', '''Not Ready''', and '''Observe''', that means a round has not started yet. This is ideal, because you'll be playing the round from the beginning, when things are the going to be calm and allow you to get your bearings in a relatively safe environment. Toggle the button to '''Ready''', then wait for the game to begin. (You can see the time until the game begins on the '''Lobby''' tab, on the top right of the game window.) Pressing '''Observe''' will spawn you as a [[ghost]], which is essentially a spectator - you won't be able to spawn normally until the next round if you select this option!</div></tab>
</tabs>
== Interface 101 ==
=== Tabs ===
[[File:Status tab top.png|left|thumb|Status Tab.]]
Before you do anything else, take a look at the top right of the game window. You'll see some tabs labelled '''Status''', '''Lobby''', '''Admin''', '''IC''', '''Mentor,''' '''OOC''', '''Object''', and '''Preferences'''. The most important tabs are the Status and Admin tabs. If you're using internals (an oxygen tank and mask), the Status tab tells you the remaining air pressure - useful for avoiding death by suffocation. The Admin tab contains the '''Adminhelp''' button, used to contact admins directly if you have a question or believe someone is breaking the rules. The Mentor tab contains the '''Mentorhelp''' button, used to ask mentors questions, and the '''Request Mentor Assistance''' button, which gives any ghosted mentors the option to become an imaginary friend and help with anything you're confused about.
<div style="text-align: left; max-width: 800px;">{{#tag:tab|
; Status : Displays important info such as your ping, the current map, pressure remaining in airtanks, etc.
; Admin : Contains buttons that allow you if any admins are online, and most importantly, to send a message directly to the admins (the '''Adminhelp''' button). If no admins are online, the message will be forwarded to the admin IRC channel.
; Mentor : Contains buttons that allow you to see if any mentors are online, and allow you to ask a question directly to the mentors (the "Mentorhelp" button). Mentorhelps are not forwarded like adminhelps.
; IC : Stands for "In Character". Usually won't use this. (The '''Pray''' button allows you to send a message to any admins online in character - often used for "communicating with the gods". Another useful button is '''Rest''', which lets you go prone at will.)
; OOC : Stands for "Out of Character". Again, rarely needs to be used. Various functions that are related to the game, but not something your character does (eg. seeing the number of players online).
; Object : Never used. Contains buttons to manipulate objects (eg. drag/stop dragging an object), but there are [[Keyboard_Shortcuts|hotkeys]] to do these things much faster.
; Preferences : Self explanatory - contains various options you can toggle on and off.|dropdown=true|collapsed=true|name=Tab descriptions}}</div>
In the '''Status''' tab, take note of the map currently being played on the server. It'll be used later in the guide.

The biggest barrier to entry in Space Station 13 is the controls. The UI is, at a glance, complex, and the controls are unintuitive. Thankfully, once it clicks, you'll never have an issue with it again. '''Don't let it overwhelm you - after a round or two of practice, you should be fine.'''

The top right of the screen contains the action tabs mentioned previously, and the bottom right is the text log. This is where you can see what people are saying, what's happening around you, and chat such as OOC or adminhelps. The bar along the bottom of the screen is the input bar, but since we're on [[Keyboard_Shortcuts|Hotkey]] mode we won't need to use it. There's quite a few HUD elements on the main screen, so let's break them down into sections. '''Don't worry if you can't memorize what everything does at once''' - you can always come back to this guide.
<tabs>
<tab name="Hands">[[File:Hud-hands.gif]] One of the most important elements of the HUD. You have the ability to hold an item in each hand (unless an item takes up both hands, obviously). The square around one of the hands is the '''selected hand'''. If you have an '''empty''' selected hand, and click on an object, you'll pick it up/open it/use it. If '''an object is in your selected hand''' and you click on something, you'll use it on the item you're holding. (The way this works means that if you'd like to unequip your backpack, you need to click and drag the bag into your hand - if it was removed by clicking on it, you'd never be able to open the bag.)

'''If this seems confusing, don't worry - it'll be explained shortly.'''</tab>
<tab name="Inventory Buttons">These icons manage your inventory.

The backpack [[File:Hud-inventory.png]] icon can be toggled to show your worn equipment.

The belt [[File:Hud-Belt.png]], backpack [[File:Hud-Back.png]], and pocket [[File:Hud-Pocket.png]] icons are all storage locations.

The ID [[File:Hud-ID.png]] slot can hold your ID, or your PDA (which can hold your ID).</tab>
<tab name="Interact Commands">These buttons directly affect how you interact with objects.

The drop [[File:Hud-drop.png]] and throw [[File:Hud-throw.png]] icons do what the name implies. Dropping is self explanatory, but the throw button is a toggle - if it's on and you click somewhere, you'll throw the item in your hand at where you clicked. (You can also press R to enable throwing and Q to drop your held item.)

The pull [[File:Hud-pull.png]] icon only appears when dragging something, and can be pressed to stop dragging an object. [[Keyboard_Shortcuts|Hotkey]]: "del".

The internals [[File:Gmaskinternalsicon.gif]] icon can be clicked to enable/disable your internals (oxygen tank and breath mask).

The resist [[File:Hud-resist.png]] icon can be pressed to break out of grabs, restraints, and if you're on fire, is the "stop drop and roll" button. [[Keyboard_Shortcuts|Hotkey]]: "B".

The run/walk toggle [[File:Hud-walkrun.gif]] icon can be pressed to switch between running and walking. Running is faster, but walking has benefits, such as being able to walk over water without slipping - useful for when the janitor doesn't put wet floor signs down. [[Keyboard_Shortcuts|Hotkey]]: Hold "alt" to walk.

The body selector [[File:Hud-target.gif]] icon is used to choose which body part you want to target. This is used for both targeting specific sections to heal, or targeting specific sections when attacking someone. Click a limb to target it. (You can target individual arms, legs, the head, the upper torso, the groin, the eyes, or the mouth.) [[Keyboard_Shortcuts|Hotkeys]]: "numpad keys".

Last but not least is the intent selector [[File:Hud-intent.gif]] - this will be explained in detail later. It has four modes: '''Help''', '''Disarm''', '''Grab''', and '''Harm''', in clockwise order. [[Keyboard_Shortcuts|Hotkeys]]: "1-4".</tab>
<tab name="Other">The health [[File:Hud_100_percent_Health.gif]] icon and [[File:Healthdoll.gif]] doll change depending on how injured you are.

The crafting menu [[File:Craft.gif]] icon opens the crafting menu.

The speech bubble [[File:Talk_wheel.gif]] icon opens the languages menu. You won't need to use this for the tutorial.

The create area [[File:Area_edit.gif]] icon is used to create an "area", which is a more advanced topic. You won't need to worry about it for this tutorial.</tab>
<tab name="Alerts">These will only appear on the HUD if something is wrong.

[[File:Hud-oxy.gif]] '''Oxygen warning''' - The air you're breathing doesn't have enough oxygen.

[[File:Hud-pressure.gif]] '''Pressure warning''' - Pressure levels are too high (red) or too low (black). Low and high pressures can kill you.

[[File:tox_in_air.gif]] '''Toxin warning''' - You are breathing in toxic gases.

[[File:Hud-fire.png]] '''Fire warning''' - The air is hot enough to burn you.

[[File:Hud-freeze.gif]] '''Freeze warning''' - The air is cold enough to freeze you.

[[File:Hud-temp.gif]] '''Temperature warning''' - You're too cold or too hot.

[[File:Hud-hunger.gif]] '''Hunger warning''' - You're starting to get hungry. You cannot die from hunger, but the longer you go without food, the slower you will be able to run. You can also eat too much and become bloated.</tab>
</tabs>
== Controls ==
[[File:Hotkeys.png|thumb|500px|[[Keyboard_Shortcuts|Keybindings]] for the hotkey mode.]]
Don’t get scared by the hotkey image. It shows ''all'' the controls and their alternatives. This might seem like a lot, but don't worry, you'll only be using a few most of the time. The control are quite elegantly designed. There are exceptions, but for the most part you will be able to anything from surgery to nuclear science with the exact same controls.

The default control scheme is “hotkeys” set in the game preferences menu. In case it’s not working you will see the bottom-right textbox in a red color. Click anywhere in the game window and press '''Tab'''. The textbox should go white showing that you are in “hotkey” mode.
* Use the '''WASD''' keys to move around.
* Press the '''X''' key to swap your active hand. The hand system is explained below.
* Press the '''Q''' key to drop what you are currently holding in your hand on the ground.
* Press the '''T''' key to talk. Prefix what you say with a semicolon (;) to say it in the global radio channel. Use the '''M''' key for non-verbal actions like “smile” or “wave”. Use the '''O''' key for OOC chat.
* Use '''left click''' on a thing to interact with it. Interact means different things based on the thing you are clicking. Use '''right click''' for a context menu (mostly used for stacks of items).
* Press the '''Z''' key with an item in hand to “use” it.
* Use '''SHIFT + click''' on anything to examine it. Your new favorite button combo. It will describe what you are looking at. As a new player you will be using this ''very often''.
If you just want to just jump into a round immediately the above controls should be enough for your first round. Doing a task like asking someone where the drink vending machine is, buying and then drinking something.

If you are not as impatient skim the '''[[FullControls|full controls page here]]'''. You can also check out all the available [[Keyboard Shortcuts|hotkeys]].

Before getting into anything else, it's important to note that since SS13 is such an open ended game that has other people in it, when you get in game and try to follow the guide, things may go wrong - the station might have been almost entirely consumed by a singularity, a traitor could attack you with a powerful weapon, or something no one could have predicted will kill you. It's important to '''not let death get to you''' - Rule 10 exists for a reason! There are multiple ways you can be brought back into the game - don't get frustrated if something happens.

As a brand-new player, your first objective is simply joining the station as non-essential crew and attempting to survive, escaping via the evacuation shuttle or one of the pods located around the station. From there, you can branch out into more of the specific concepts that are often stumbling blocks for newer players, so let's address those first. (These are all in expandable boxes to save space, but it's not a bad idea to read them beforehand.)
=== The Hands System ===
If an item requires two hands to use, then the other hand slot will instead be labeled as “off-hand”. Why do I start by telling you this? Because only one hand can be selected at a time. Imagine yourself as a creature with one hand. You only sprout a second hand when you need to use two handed items.

Another time when you sprout an extra hand is to JUST hold an item. That is because your hands are also just a part of your inventory. However, think of them as an “active” part of your inventory. You place items in these “active” slots when you want to use them.

The bright box around one of your hands is the selected hand. Swap your selected hand with the '''X''' key. This is the hand that's used whenever you click on something. If it’s empty. Otherwise, you will use what you are holding in your hand on what you clicked on.

This can also cause problems with backpacks, boxes, and other containers. If you want to open a container, '''Alt + Click''' it. You can also pick it up, then switch hands and click on the container with an empty hand. Clicking on a container with an object will put it in the container. This also means that if you'd like to '''take your backpack off''', you need to click and drag the bag to an empty hand - a normal click just opens the equipped bag.

If you find this confusing, you should go check out the full controls page. It goes hand in hand (GET IT!?) with this explanation. If you still find it confusing, then maybe you should play your first round already because it really is not that complicated.
=== [[Intent|Intents]] ===
The intent selector has four modes: '''help''' [[File:Intent_Help.png]], '''disarm [[File:Intent_Disarm.png]]''', '''grab''' [[File:Intent_Grab.png]], and '''harm [[File:Intent_Harm.png]]'''. This system mostly controls how you interact with this your bare hands. You can learn more about these uses on [[Intent|the intents page]]. It's not, however, critical that you learn this right now. When it comes to using '''things''' this system is much simpler then it appears. Using a crowbar on someone will hit them '''regardless''' of intent. Most items work like that. Instead when it comes to '''things''' there are special use cases, for example:
* While doing surgery, if you are '''not''' on help [[File:Intent_Help.png]] intent, you will intentionally botch it.
* Clicking on something next to you with a gun will shot them point blank. If, however, you are on harm '''[[File:Intent_Harm.png]]''' intent you will hit them with the weapon instead.
* Using harm '''[[File:Intent_Harm.png]]''' intent on an airlock with a welder will weld it shut instead of repair it.
You don't need to know these things know. It's just so you understand the types of specific thing you will use intents for. These exceptions are not important to memorize. The only intent related thing I want you to know for now is that clicking on people with and empty hand with help [[File:Intent_Help.png]] intent will hug them.
=== Damage ===
There are a few different damage types in SS13. If you take enough damage, you'll fall unconscious into critical condition, better known as '''Crit'''. If left untreated in this state, you'll slowly suffocate until you die.

'''[[Guide_to_medicine#Brute|Brute]]''' damage is received from physical attacks - punches, kicks, toolboxes, hatchets - if someone is hitting you over the head with it, it does Brute damage.

'''[[Guide_to_medicine#Burns|Burn]]''' damage is received from fire or exposure to the vacuum of space.

'''[[Guide_to_medicine#Toxins|Toxin]]''' damage is received from breathing in poison gases, attacks from enemies like giant spiders, ingesting poison, drinking too much booze, or generally having any harmful chemical in your blood.

'''[[Guide_to_medicine#Suffocation|Oxygen]]''' damage is received from being unable to breathe, or while in critical condition. It goes down over time by itself if you're not in crit.

'''[[Guide_to_medicine#Brain_damage|Brain]]''' damage is reveived from being [[Guide_to_genetics#Cloning|cloned]] or [[Guide_to_chemistry#Methamphetamine|other things]]. Can randomly cause [[Guide_to_Traumas|brain traumas]]. Those suffering from brain damage usually need [[Guide_to_chemistry#Mannitol|chemicals]] to cure their condition.

'''[[Guide_to_medicine#Cellular_damage|Cellular]]''' damage is reveived from being [[Guide_to_genetics#Cloning|cloned]] or from being fed on by a [[Slime|slime]]. Can be cured with [[Guide_to_medicine#Cryogenics_Tube|cryo]] treatment.

Brute and Burn damage are applied to specific limbs. If you've been smacked in the head with a toolbox a few times, you'll have to aim at your head (with numpad keys) when you use a bruise pack. Most [[Guide_to_chemistry#Medicines|medicines]] can be ingested to heal damage anywhere on your body. If you take enough damage to one limb, you can be '''dismembered'''. You will need [[Surgery#Prosthetic_Replacement|surgery]] to replace lost limbs.
=== Combat ===
Combat in SS13 is very heavily focused on '''who falls over first'''. If you're prone, you've likely lost. This means items like [[General_items#Soap|soap]] [[File:Soaps.gif]] or [[Security_items#Disabler|disablers]] [[File:ModernDisabler.png]] are extremely useful.

If you get into a fight, consider your options - it may be best to try and simply run away. If you think you can disarm your opponent, you could turn the tables by taking their weapon. Combat in SS13 is fast paced and revolves around a lot of back and forth swipes, almost like a strange joust between 2D spacemen.

Getting better at combat in SS13 requires practice - there's only so much you can be taught. The rest is learning how to create and take advantage of opportunities. Hopefully, you won't have to get into many fights as you start out.

To learn more about combat and how to win fights, see the [[Guide_to_Combat|Guide to Combat]].
=== Ghosts ===
If you end up dying, don't worry, there's a few ways to go from there.

If you try to move, you'll '''[[ghost]]''' out of your corpse. This is essentially spectator mode - you can communicate with other dead players (and talking about the round out of character is okay in this chat) by talking normally and are able to fly around the entire map. (Note that while it's okay to talk about the round in deadchat, if you're revived, '''you cannot use any information gained while dead'''. Anything you saw while alive is fair game.)

If you die, you can be [[Cloning|cloned]], revived via [[defibrillator]], turned into a [[podperson]], have your brain removed and put into a [[cyborg]], or more. There are '''ghost roles''' that can be played by dead players - some areas have objects that, when clicked on as a ghost, will spawn you as a new character. (You're a new character, so don't use any information from your past life.) There may even be alerts that pop up while you're dead, asking if you'd like to take control of a [[xenomorph]], a [[morph]], or almost anything else. These are often provided by admins, but can occasionally happen via random event. '''Please note that if you take on a ghost role you CANNOT be cloned or return to your original body!'''

}}

Now that we've gone over the interface and some more important game concepts, let's jump into the game. If you join a game in progress, you'll spawn on the [[Arrivals|arrival shuttle]]. (You'll start buckled onto a chair as the shuttle docks with the station - press the '''Resist''' button on the HUD or the picture of the chair to unbuckle yourself). Otherwise, you'll be spawned in a random, public area of the station.

BeeStation has multiple maps that the server will occasionally change to. The "standard" station layout is [[BoxStation|Box Station]], but the game can also take place on [[MetaStation|Meta Station]], [[PubbyStation|Pubby Station]], [[DeltaStation|Delta Station]], or [[CorgStation|Corg Station]]. You can visit the individual wiki pages to see the layout of a specific map.

Each station has a unique layout, so you'll likely want to use these maps to get your bearings.
* "BoxStation" [https://affectedarc07.github.io/SS13WebMap/BeeStation/BoxStation/ Click here for a map of BoxStation.] Visit [[BoxStation|the wiki page for BoxStation]] for more details.
* "MetaStation" [https://affectedarc07.github.io/SS13WebMap/BeeStation/MetaStation/ Click here for a map of MetaStation.] Visit [[MetaStation|the wiki page for MetaStation]] for more details.

* "KiloStation" [https://beestation13.com/map/kilo Click here for a map of KiloStation.] Visit [[KiloStation|the wiki page for KiloStation]] for more details.
*"CorgStation" [https://affectedarc07.github.io/SS13WebMap/BeeStation/CorgStation/ Click here for a map of Corgstation]. [[CorgStation|Visit the wiki page for Corgstation]] for more details.
Since you've chosen [[Assistant]] as your role, you'll have no responsibilities. This means you can safely attempt to get your bearings without fear of someone telling you that you need to be doing something. This guide will list a few tasks for you to perform so you can put the concepts discussed above into practice. It might be awkward at first, but it doesn't take much time to get to grips with how to control your character.

Eventualy, once you're confident in the controls, why not consider doing some [[How to Roleplay|roleplaying]]? Theres also [[How to Roleplay|a guide]] to help with that.
== What to do if There's a Breach ==
If you hear the telltale sound of air being sucked out of a room or see a hole in the station, something's gone wrong and caused a breach. It's wise to avoid being exposed to the vacuum of space for too long, but if you need to pass by, you can put '''internals''' on.

When you spawn, inside your backpack is an emergency kit with a [[Emergency Oxygen Tank|small tank of O2]], a [[Breath Mask|breath mask]], and an [[Epipen|epipen]] to stabilize someone who's in crit.
# Using an empty hand, click on your backpack, then click + drag the box inside to your character's sprite. This will open the box.
# Take the breath mask and put it on your mask [[File:Hud-Mask.png]] slot (press the equipment [[File:Hud-inventory.png]] icon to see it).
# Take the O2 tank and put it in one of your pockets. This leaves your hands free for other tasks.
# Press the internals [[File:Gmaskinternalsicon.gif]] icon to turn on your air supply.

This will keep you breathing clean air - make sure to avoid exposure to a vacuum for too long, and watch your air tank's supply in the Status bar!

|[[File:Backpack.png]]'''1. Inventory Management:'''
:The inventory system is a little unintuitive at first, but once you figure it out, it'll stay with you.
:Items in the game have 4 different "weight classes," tiny, small, normal, and bulky. These weight classes determine in which storage slots it can fit in, and what they can't fit in.
:If you are wearing a jumpsuit, the two item storage slots to the rightmost of your screen are your pockets. These pockets can only store tiny items.
:Your hands are where you can grab items and interact with them.
:Your back is where you should have your backpack. Your backpack is your main storage space, but it can only fit a limited amount of items. You can stuff tiny, small, and normal classed items into your backpack. However, normal classed items will take up more storage space than a tiny classed item.
:Your belt is where you store your toolbelt, (if you are an [[engineer]]), your gun, or a variety of other different items, which range from swords to defibrillators.
:The items which you can fit in your suit storage (on the leftmost of your screen, below your gloves) depend on the uniform you are wearing. For example, a hardsuit would allow you to fit an oxygen tank in there, whilst an armor vest would allow you to fit a taser in there.
|-
|[[File:Nuvola apps important.svg|25px]]'''2. Hazards:'''
:<s>A good start to reacting against someone beating your teeth in is by screaming ";HELP <LOCATION NAME> <GUY BEATING YOU UP> IS A [[Jobs#Antagonists|<TRAITOR/LING/WHATEVER>]]. This allows security to flag that guy down as arrest, which means that if a security officer encounters that person again, they see an arrest overlay.</s>
:Try running away instead of fighting unless you are a security officer, remember 99% of the time you aren't a trained combatant and should try contacting security instead of just screaming that theres an antagonist in your exact location

:[[Random events#Radiation Storm|Radiation Storm:]] A message stating '''''"High levels of radiation detected near the station. Maintenance is best shielded from radiation."''''' will broadcast. Normally, if the heads are competent, a station-wide emergency will then be declared opening up maintenance even if you don't have access. All you have to do now is mill in maintenance until the radiation storm passes over.
:If there's cries of revolutionaries or a cult, [[Blood Cult|blood]] or [[Clockwork Cult|otherwise]] over the radio, it's probably in your best interests to secure a pair of sunglasses and head towards security to get implanted (or baton "unconverted"). It's not unknown for security to become particularly trigger-happy towards unimplanted crewmembers.

== What Jobs to Take After Your First Round ==
The best beginner jobs are ones where no one is going to come to you asking for something you don't really understand. assistant is the best because no one expects anything at all from you. You are free to explore and play with the controls. However once you get a grip on the controls is recommended to move to a job where still no one expects anything, but that have a designated objective. The recommended assistant ''plus'' roles are:
* [[Janitor]]: People will expect nothing from you except maybe that you clean the floor.
* [[Curator]]: The library is practically abandoned. Play with board games and painting. Organize books. Get fun loot from your curator beacon.
* [[Cargo Technician|Cargo Tech]]: Move crates until you die. It is said that all SS13 journeys begin and end in cargo. This is because cargo is of vital importance to several game modes. As a CT you will get to see the flow of these rounds first hand. However, your job will still remain to be just moving crates.
After that it's time to move on to some real roles. Funnily enough, the best way to learn these roles is to sign up as an assistant again. You are going to use this role as intended and actually assist some departments. Going to the [[Head of Personnel|HoP]] or whatever place you want to learn about and asking nicely for someone to teach you is a very effective way to learn. The [[Head of Personnel|HoP]] can even give you custom job titles like "medical intern" or "brig receptionist". Job that are good for this are: [[Medical Doctor]], [[Scientist]], [[Station Engineer]]... This is also the best way to dip your toes safely into being a [[Security Officer]]. Be careful, because it's very easy to play security poorly, and [[Shitcurity|letting the power get to your head is a bad idea]].

Avoid joke roles such as the [[Clown]] or [[Mime]] at first. Many players find harassing the on board entertainment much more fun than any jokes the clown might otherwise have.

After some time, when you're confident enough in your combat abilities, you should enable antagonists within your game preferences, so that you can roll for antag when the shift starts. A good half of the game is arguably being an antag and beating everyone up. Don't be scared that you will be a bad antag. Due to the fact that you can't predict what or when it will happen everyone was a painfully obvious antag at one point. It's just how the game works. You should however avoid team antag roles. [[Blood Cult|Blood cult]], blood brothers, [[Revolutionary|revolutions]], [[Clockwork Cult|clock cultists]], [[Nuclear Operative|nuclear operatives]], [[Xenomorph|xenomoprhs]]... The most common and "safe" antag options to dip you toes in are [[Traitor]] and [[Changeling]].

'''Space Station 13''' is a multiplayer sandbox that has a heavy focus on player interaction. In the year 2557, the megacorporation Nanotrasen has employed you as a staff member onboard their latest state of the art research station. Nanotrasen claims to be researching plasma, a mysterious new substance, but rumors are abound that the station is little more than a twisted social experiment...

At the start of each round, each player is assigned a [[Jobs|role]] onboard the station. There are many [[Jobs|jobs]], such as the [[scientist]] performing [[Guide_to_Research_and_Development|research and development]] of new technologies, the [[Medical_Doctor|medical doctor]] trying to keep people alive, or the simple [[janitor]]. There are many different ways to play. The game also randomly chooses a [[Game Mode|a round type]], ranging from [[Nuclear Operative|an all out assault on the station by nuclear operatives]], a [[Blood Cult|sinister cult sacrificing crewmembers to summon their god]], or more commonly, [[Traitor|good ol' fashioned traitors]]. Every round on Space Station 13 is different.
= Before Playing =

'''It's important to [[https://beestation13.com/rules read the rules]] before connecting for the first time.''' Some common new player mistakes to avoid include:
* Being violent towards other crew members without any reason. This is only okay if you're an [[Terminology#Antag|antagonist]], and you will be notified if you're chosen to be one. If they grab you by your butt and try to [[Terminology#Spacing|space]] you, feel free to [[Terminology#Robust/Robusting|robust]] them. (Telling the admins you were "roleplaying an insane person" will get a couple laughs, but you'll still get banned.)
*You can press the mentorhelp button (found in the "MENTOR" tab above the chat) at any time to send a message directly to the mentor team if you have any questions.
One last point: Please, '''remember the human'''. SS13 can be highly frustrating, you will be unceremoniously killed, griefed, or die to some galactic space-bug shortly before executing your master plan. Everyone is here to play a game they enjoy, so keep that in mind before you bash someone's brain in with a toolbox because they took your [[Engineering_items#Multitool|multitool]].
== Setting Up ==

Make your way to the [https://www.byond.com/download/ BYOND download page] and '''download the client'''. Once you've downloaded, installed, and logged into the client, feel free to close it - we won't be needing to use it directly anymore. Once you're set up, choose a server to join:
* '''BeeStation Sage:''' byond://sage.beestation13.com:7878
*'''BeeStation Acacia:''' byond://acacia.beestation13.com:7979
If you can't use these links to join, open the BYOND client, press '''Ctrl and O''', and paste the link to the server you want to join.
<div style="text-align: left; max-width: 800px;">{{#tag:tab|Sage is our main server, it is usually the one with higher population and Acacia is our overflow server, it is up 24/7 just like sage but it is intended to be used when sage is too full or if you like lower populations. There is also Linden, a server that is rarely every up as it is only used when large admin events are being hosted, go on the discord (discord.gg/ss13) to see when an event is taking place!.|dropdown=true|collapsed=true|name=Server Differences}}</div>
[[File:Newplayeroptions.png|left|thumb|The New Player Options menu]] Once you've connected to a server, you'll be greeted by a small popup window labelled '''New Player Options'''.
If this is your first time playing on BeeStation, you'll need to create a character. Click on the '''Setup Character''' button, and the character creation menu will open.
[[File:Character_settings.PNG|thumb|The character setup screen]]
You don't need to worry about Special Names, Custom job preferences, Uplink Spawn Location, or Species - for now, '''make sure you're a human''', and edit your appearance as you see fit. There's no difference between clothing/backpack options other than appearance, so pick what you think looks best.
<div style="text-align: left; max-width: 800px;">{{#tag:tab|Special names are names specific to certain roles - for example, if you're the clown, you may want a funny name instead of your regular one. The name policy is relaxed on these, so if you have a funny idea for a name, go nuts (within reason - this is at admin discretion). The only custom job preference is specific to security officers, and allows you to choose the department you'd like to monitor. The Uplink spawn location is specific to the [[traitor]] role, and determines the item you can access your [[uplink]] from, where you can purchase different tools to accomplish your goals. The various species options have some effects on gameplay - you can browse the articles for [[lizardmen|lizards]], [[flypeople]], and [[plasmamen]] for more info.|dropdown=true|collapsed=true|name=What does all the ignored stuff do?}}</div>
<div style="text-align: left; max-width: 800px;">{{#tag:tab|; The AI : The AI on the station sometimes follows [[Asimov|the three rules of robotics]]. This means that if you aren't human, the AI can ignore you freely and can cause harm to you if they want. Most players will avoid needlessly antagonizing anyone not playing a human, but it's much better to be safe than sorry.|dropdown=true|collapsed=true|name=Why do I need to be a human?}}</div>
Once you've finished editing your appearance, be sure to press the '''Save Setup''' button at the bottom of the window. Next, press the '''Set Occupation Preferences''' button.

{{Speech
|name=Tuterr, the Private Eye
|text=You're brand new here, so make sure you sign up as an Assistant. Nanotrasen usually has checks to make sure fresh meat doesn't get to be the Captain, but if you manage to end up in that position, you'll probably be just another case for me to solve.|image=[[File:Generic detective.png|64px|right]]
}}

[[File:New_Occupation_screen.JPG|thumb|left|The occupation preferences window]]
[[File:Game_prefences_Screen.PNG|thumb|The game preferences window]]
If the button next to Assistant is a red '''NO''', click it once so that it says '''YES''' in green text. This sets your job to be assistant, no matter what.
<div style="text-align: left; max-width: 800px;">{{#tag:tab|When the game begins, the server checks each players occupation preferences, and assigns jobs accordingly. You can pick '''High''', '''Medium''', '''Low''', or '''Never'''. Each player is limited to one High preference job. Some roles have limited player counts - for example, there is only one Captain. There is no limit on assistants, and it's a role that has no responsibilities, so it's ideal for getting to grips with the game. Some jobs that are critical to game progression are locked off until a certain amount of time has passed since your first login. Check the [[Job selection and assignment|job selection and assignment page]] for more info.|dropdown=true|collapsed=true|name=What does all the ignored stuff do?}}</div>
After that, press '''Done''', then, '''Save Setup'''. Then click on '''Game Preferences''' at the top of the character creation screen. The menu will change and have a big list of options.

Make sure all of the Special Role Settings are set to '''No''' (These control optional settings, like choosing if you'd like to roll for a traitor role - they assume you know how to play the game and are important to the round, so we want them off for now.) '''More importantly, change the Keybindings option to [[Keyboard_Shortcuts|"Hotkeys"]]'''. This guide will assume you're using this control scheme, as it provides quicker functions for actions than the default controls. Most of the options here are relatively self explanatory or irrelevant, so once you're done, click '''Save Setup''' one last time and close the window.
 
== Joining the Game ==

Now that you've created your character, you're ready to join the game. (You may want to continue to read the guide before jumping in.)

There's two possible menus here - the lobby screen will either display a list that has '''Join Game!''' or a '''Ready'''/'''Not Ready''' toggle.
<tabs>
<tab name="Join Game!">[[File:Job_select_screen.PNG|thumb|The choose profession window]] <div style="text-align: center;">If the window says '''Join Game!''', there's currently a round going on. This is most likely what you'll see. Click on the button, and a window will pop up asking you to choose a profession. The jobs available will vary, but for now, pick '''Assistant'''. (The numbers in the brackets next to the job title show the current number of players who have been assigned that job for the round, if there is a zero inside the brackets, no one has been assigned to that job for the round. When you click on the job you want, you'll be brought to the station via the [[Arrivals|arrival shuttle]]. You'll start out on a transit shuttle that will dock at the station in a few seconds - you'll also be strapped into a chair, so don't forget to unbuckle yourself. (You can do this by clicking the '''Resist''' button - don't worry if you aren't sure which button that is yet, as it's explained further down the guide.)</div></tab>
<tab name="Ready/Not Ready/Observe"><div style="text-align: center;">If the window has three buttons that say '''Ready''', '''Not Ready''', and '''Observe''', that means a round has not started yet. This is ideal, because you'll be playing the round from the beginning, when things are the going to be calm and allow you to get your bearings in a relatively safe environment. Toggle the button to '''Ready''', then wait for the game to begin. (You can see the time until the game begins on the '''Lobby''' tab, on the top right of the game window.) Pressing '''Observe''' will spawn you as a [[ghost]], which is essentially a spectator - you won't be able to spawn normally until the next round if you select this option!</div></tab>
</tabs>
== Interface 101 ==
=== Tabs ===
[[File:Status tab top.png|left|thumb|Status Tab.]]
Before you do anything else, take a look at the top right of the game window. You'll see some tabs labelled '''Status''', '''Lobby''', '''Admin''', '''IC''', '''Mentor,''' '''OOC''', '''Object''', and '''Preferences'''. The most important tabs are the Status and Admin tabs. If you're using internals (an oxygen tank and mask), the Status tab tells you the remaining air pressure - useful for avoiding death by suffocation. The Admin tab contains the '''Adminhelp''' button, used to contact admins directly if you have a question or believe someone is breaking the rules. The Mentor tab contains the '''Mentorhelp''' button, used to ask mentors questions, and the '''Request Mentor Assistance''' button, which gives any ghosted mentors the option to become an imaginary friend and help with anything you're confused about.
<div style="text-align: left; max-width: 800px;">{{#tag:tab|
; Status : Displays important info such as your ping, the current map, pressure remaining in airtanks, etc.
; Admin : Contains buttons that allow you if any admins are online, and most importantly, to send a message directly to the admins (the '''Adminhelp''' button). If no admins are online, the message will be forwarded to the admin IRC channel.
; Mentor : Contains buttons that allow you to see if any mentors are online, and allow you to ask a question directly to the mentors (the "Mentorhelp" button). Mentorhelps are not forwarded like adminhelps.
; IC : Stands for "In Character". Usually won't use this. (The '''Pray''' button allows you to send a message to any admins online in character - often used for "communicating with the gods". Another useful button is '''Rest''', which lets you go prone at will.)
; OOC : Stands for "Out of Character". Again, rarely needs to be used. Various functions that are related to the game, but not something your character does (eg. seeing the number of players online).
; Object : Never used. Contains buttons to manipulate objects (eg. drag/stop dragging an object), but there are [[Keyboard_Shortcuts|hotkeys]] to do these things much faster.
; Preferences : Self explanatory - contains various options you can toggle on and off.|dropdown=true|collapsed=true|name=Tab descriptions}}</div>
In the '''Status''' tab, take note of the map currently being played on the server. It'll be used later in the guide.

The biggest barrier to entry in Space Station 13 is the controls. The UI is, at a glance, complex, and the controls are unintuitive. Thankfully, once it clicks, you'll never have an issue with it again. '''Don't let it overwhelm you - after a round or two of practice, you should be fine.'''

The top right of the screen contains the action tabs mentioned previously, and the bottom right is the text log. This is where you can see what people are saying, what's happening around you, and chat such as OOC or adminhelps. The bar along the bottom of the screen is the input bar, but since we're on [[Keyboard_Shortcuts|Hotkey]] mode we won't need to use it. There's quite a few HUD elements on the main screen, so let's break them down into sections. '''Don't worry if you can't memorize what everything does at once''' - you can always come back to this guide.
<tabs>
<tab name="Hands">[[File:Hud-hands.gif]] One of the most important elements of the HUD. You have the ability to hold an item in each hand (unless an item takes up both hands, obviously). The square around one of the hands is the '''selected hand'''. If you have an '''empty''' selected hand, and click on an object, you'll pick it up/open it/use it. If '''an object is in your selected hand''' and you click on something, you'll use it on the item you're holding. (The way this works means that if you'd like to unequip your backpack, you need to click and drag the bag into your hand - if it was removed by clicking on it, you'd never be able to open the bag.)

'''If this seems confusing, don't worry - it'll be explained shortly.'''</tab>
<tab name="Inventory Buttons">These icons manage your inventory.

The backpack [[File:Hud-inventory.png]] icon can be toggled to show your worn equipment.

The belt [[File:Hud-Belt.png]], backpack [[File:Hud-Back.png]], and pocket [[File:Hud-Pocket.png]] icons are all storage locations.

The ID [[File:Hud-ID.png]] slot can hold your ID, or your PDA (which can hold your ID).</tab>
<tab name="Interact Commands">These buttons directly affect how you interact with objects.

The drop [[File:Hud-drop.png]] and throw [[File:Hud-throw.png]] icons do what the name implies. Dropping is self explanatory, but the throw button is a toggle - if it's on and you click somewhere, you'll throw the item in your hand at where you clicked. (You can also press R to enable throwing and Q to drop your held item.)

The pull [[File:Hud-pull.png]] icon only appears when dragging something, and can be pressed to stop dragging an object. [[Keyboard_Shortcuts|Hotkey]]: "del".

The internals [[File:Gmaskinternalsicon.gif]] icon can be clicked to enable/disable your internals (oxygen tank and breath mask).

The resist [[File:Hud-resist.png]] icon can be pressed to break out of grabs, restraints, and if you're on fire, is the "stop drop and roll" button. [[Keyboard_Shortcuts|Hotkey]]: "B".

The run/walk toggle [[File:Hud-walkrun.gif]] icon can be pressed to switch between running and walking. Running is faster, but walking has benefits, such as being able to walk over water without slipping - useful for when the janitor doesn't put wet floor signs down. [[Keyboard_Shortcuts|Hotkey]]: Hold "alt" to walk.

The body selector [[File:Hud-target.gif]] icon is used to choose which body part you want to target. This is used for both targeting specific sections to heal, or targeting specific sections when attacking someone. Click a limb to target it. (You can target individual arms, legs, the head, the upper torso, the groin, the eyes, or the mouth.) [[Keyboard_Shortcuts|Hotkeys]]: "numpad keys".

Last but not least is the intent selector [[File:Hud-intent.gif]] - this will be explained in detail later. It has four modes: '''Help''', '''Disarm''', '''Grab''', and '''Harm''', in clockwise order. [[Keyboard_Shortcuts|Hotkeys]]: "1-4".</tab>
<tab name="Other">The health [[File:Hud_100_percent_Health.gif]] icon and [[File:Healthdoll.gif]] doll change depending on how injured you are.

The crafting menu [[File:Craft.gif]] icon opens the crafting menu.

The speech bubble [[File:Talk_wheel.gif]] icon opens the languages menu. You won't need to use this for the tutorial.

The create area [[File:Area_edit.gif]] icon is used to create an "area", which is a more advanced topic. You won't need to worry about it for this tutorial.</tab>
<tab name="Alerts">These will only appear on the HUD if something is wrong.

[[File:Hud-oxy.gif]] '''Oxygen warning''' - The air you're breathing doesn't have enough oxygen.

[[File:Hud-pressure.gif]] '''Pressure warning''' - Pressure levels are too high (red) or too low (black). Low and high pressures can kill you.

[[File:tox_in_air.gif]] '''Toxin warning''' - You are breathing in toxic gases.

[[File:Hud-fire.png]] '''Fire warning''' - The air is hot enough to burn you.

[[File:Hud-freeze.gif]] '''Freeze warning''' - The air is cold enough to freeze you.

[[File:Hud-temp.gif]] '''Temperature warning''' - You're too cold or too hot.

[[File:Hud-hunger.gif]] '''Hunger warning''' - You're starting to get hungry. You cannot die from hunger, but the longer you go without food, the slower you will be able to run. You can also eat too much and become bloated.</tab>
</tabs>
== Controls ==
[[File:Hotkeys.png|thumb|500px|[[Keyboard_Shortcuts|Keybindings]] for the hotkey mode.]]
Don’t get scared by the hotkey image. It shows ''all'' the controls and their alternatives. This might seem like a lot, but don't worry, you'll only be using a few most of the time. The control are quite elegantly designed. There are exceptions, but for the most part you will be able to anything from surgery to nuclear science with the exact same controls.

The default control scheme is “hotkeys” set in the game preferences menu. In case it’s not working you will see the bottom-right textbox in a red color. Click anywhere in the game window and press '''Tab'''. The textbox should go white showing that you are in “hotkey” mode.
* Use the '''WASD''' keys to move around.
* Press the '''X''' key to swap your active hand. The hand system is explained below.
* Press the '''Q''' key to drop what you are currently holding in your hand on the ground.
* Press the '''T''' key to talk. Prefix what you say with a semicolon (;) to say it in the global radio channel. Use the '''M''' key for non-verbal actions like “smile” or “wave”. Use the '''O''' key for OOC chat.
* Use '''left click''' on a thing to interact with it. Interact means different things based on the thing you are clicking. Use '''right click''' for a context menu (mostly used for stacks of items).
* Press the '''Z''' key with an item in hand to “use” it.
* Use '''SHIFT + click''' on anything to examine it. Your new favorite button combo. It will describe what you are looking at. As a new player you will be using this ''very often''.
If you just want to just jump into a round immediately the above controls should be enough for your first round. Doing a task like asking someone where the drink vending machine is, buying and then drinking something.

If you are not as impatient skim the '''[[FullControls|full controls page here]]'''. You can also check out all the available [[Keyboard Shortcuts|hotkeys]].

}}

Before getting into anything else, it's important to note that since SS13 is such an open ended game that has other people in it, when you get in game and try to follow the guide, things may go wrong - the station might have been almost entirely consumed by a singularity, a traitor could attack you with a powerful weapon, or something no one could have predicted will kill you. It's important to '''not let death get to you''' - Rule 10 exists for a reason! There are multiple ways you can be brought back into the game - don't get frustrated if something happens.

As a brand-new player, your first objective is simply joining the station as non-essential crew and attempting to survive, escaping via the evacuation shuttle or one of the pods located around the station. From there, you can branch out into more of the specific concepts that are often stumbling blocks for newer players, so let's address those first. (These are all in expandable boxes to save space, but it's not a bad idea to read them beforehand.)
=== The Hands System ===
If an item requires two hands to use, then the other hand slot will instead be labeled as “off-hand”. Why do I start by telling you this? Because only one hand can be selected at a time. Imagine yourself as a creature with one hand. You only sprout a second hand when you need to use two handed items.

Another time when you sprout an extra hand is to JUST hold an item. That is because your hands are also just a part of your inventory. However, think of them as an “active” part of your inventory. You place items in these “active” slots when you want to use them.

The bright box around one of your hands is the selected hand. Swap your selected hand with the '''X''' key. This is the hand that's used whenever you click on something. If it’s empty. Otherwise, you will use what you are holding in your hand on what you clicked on.

This can also cause problems with backpacks, boxes, and other containers. If you want to open a container, '''Alt + Click''' it. You can also pick it up, then switch hands and click on the container with an empty hand. Clicking on a container with an object will put it in the container. This also means that if you'd like to '''take your backpack off''', you need to click and drag the bag to an empty hand - a normal click just opens the equipped bag.

If you find this confusing, you should go check out the full controls page. It goes hand in hand (GET IT!?) with this explanation. If you still find it confusing, then maybe you should play your first round already because it really is not that complicated.
=== [[Intent|Intents]] ===
The intent selector has four modes: '''help''' [[File:Intent_Help.png]], '''disarm [[File:Intent_Disarm.png]]''', '''grab''' [[File:Intent_Grab.png]], and '''harm [[File:Intent_Harm.png]]'''. This system mostly controls how you interact with this your bare hands. You can learn more about these uses on [[Intent|the intents page]]. It's not, however, critical that you learn this right now. When it comes to using '''things''' this system is much simpler then it appears. Using a crowbar on someone will hit them '''regardless''' of intent. Most items work like that. Instead when it comes to '''things''' there are special use cases, for example:
* While doing surgery, if you are '''not''' on help [[File:Intent_Help.png]] intent, you will intentionally botch it.
* Clicking on something next to you with a gun will shot them point blank. If, however, you are on harm '''[[File:Intent_Harm.png]]''' intent you will hit them with the weapon instead.
* Using harm '''[[File:Intent_Harm.png]]''' intent on an airlock with a welder will weld it shut instead of repair it.
You don't need to know these things know. It's just so you understand the types of specific thing you will use intents for. These exceptions are not important to memorize. The only intent related thing I want you to know for now is that clicking on people with and empty hand with help [[File:Intent_Help.png]] intent will hug them.
=== Damage ===
There are a few different damage types in SS13. If you take enough damage, you'll fall unconscious into critical condition, better known as '''Crit'''. If left untreated in this state, you'll slowly suffocate until you die.

'''[[Guide_to_medicine#Brute|Brute]]''' damage is received from physical attacks - punches, kicks, toolboxes, hatchets - if someone is hitting you over the head with it, it does Brute damage.

'''[[Guide_to_medicine#Burns|Burn]]''' damage is received from fire or exposure to the vacuum of space.

'''[[Guide_to_medicine#Toxins|Toxin]]''' damage is received from breathing in poison gases, attacks from enemies like giant spiders, ingesting poison, drinking too much booze, or generally having any harmful chemical in your blood.

'''[[Guide_to_medicine#Suffocation|Oxygen]]''' damage is received from being unable to breathe, or while in critical condition. It goes down over time by itself if you're not in crit.

'''[[Guide_to_medicine#Brain_damage|Brain]]''' damage is reveived from being [[Guide_to_genetics#Cloning|cloned]] or [[Guide_to_chemistry#Methamphetamine|other things]]. Can randomly cause [[Guide_to_Traumas|brain traumas]]. Those suffering from brain damage usually need [[Guide_to_chemistry#Mannitol|chemicals]] to cure their condition.

'''[[Guide_to_medicine#Cellular_damage|Cellular]]''' damage is reveived from being [[Guide_to_genetics#Cloning|cloned]] or from being fed on by a [[Slime|slime]]. Can be cured with [[Guide_to_medicine#Cryogenics_Tube|cryo]] treatment.

Brute and Burn damage are applied to specific limbs. If you've been smacked in the head with a toolbox a few times, you'll have to aim at your head (with numpad keys) when you use a bruise pack. Most [[Guide_to_chemistry#Medicines|medicines]] can be ingested to heal damage anywhere on your body. If you take enough damage to one limb, you can be '''dismembered'''. You will need [[Surgery#Prosthetic_Replacement|surgery]] to replace lost limbs.
=== Combat ===
Combat in SS13 is very heavily focused on '''who falls over first'''. If you're prone, you've likely lost. This means items like [[General_items#Soap|soap]] [[File:Soaps.gif]] or [[Security_items#Disabler|disablers]] [[File:ModernDisabler.png]] are extremely useful.

If you get into a fight, consider your options - it may be best to try and simply run away. If you think you can disarm your opponent, you could turn the tables by taking their weapon. Combat in SS13 is fast paced and revolves around a lot of back and forth swipes, almost like a strange joust between 2D spacemen.

Getting better at combat in SS13 requires practice - there's only so much you can be taught. The rest is learning how to create and take advantage of opportunities. Hopefully, you won't have to get into many fights as you start out.

To learn more about combat and how to win fights, see the [[Guide_to_Combat|Guide to Combat]].
=== Ghosts ===
If you end up dying, don't worry, there's a few ways to go from there.

If you try to move, you'll '''[[ghost]]''' out of your corpse. This is essentially spectator mode - you can communicate with other dead players (and talking about the round out of character is okay in this chat) by talking normally and are able to fly around the entire map. (Note that while it's okay to talk about the round in deadchat, if you're revived, '''you cannot use any information gained while dead'''. Anything you saw while alive is fair game.)

If you die, you can be [[Cloning|cloned]], revived via [[defibrillator]], turned into a [[podperson]], have your brain removed and put into a [[cyborg]], or more. There are '''ghost roles''' that can be played by dead players - some areas have objects that, when clicked on as a ghost, will spawn you as a new character. (You're a new character, so don't use any information from your past life.) There may even be alerts that pop up while you're dead, asking if you'd like to take control of a [[xenomorph]], a [[morph]], or almost anything else. These are often provided by admins, but can occasionally happen via random event. '''Please note that if you take on a ghost role you CANNOT be cloned or return to your original body!'''

Now that we've gone over the interface and some more important game concepts, let's jump into the game. If you join a game in progress, you'll spawn on the [[Arrivals|arrival shuttle]]. (You'll start buckled onto a chair as the shuttle docks with the station - press the '''Resist''' button on the HUD or the picture of the chair to unbuckle yourself). Otherwise, you'll be spawned in a random, public area of the station.

BeeStation has multiple maps that the server will occasionally change to. The "standard" station layout is [[BoxStation|Box Station]], but the game can also take place on [[MetaStation|Meta Station]], [[PubbyStation|Pubby Station]], [[DeltaStation|Delta Station]], or [[CorgStation|Corg Station]]. You can visit the individual wiki pages to see the layout of a specific map.

Each station has a unique layout, so you'll likely want to use these maps to get your bearings.
* "BoxStation" [https://affectedarc07.github.io/SS13WebMap/BeeStation/BoxStation/ Click here for a map of BoxStation.] Visit [[BoxStation|the wiki page for BoxStation]] for more details.

Since you've chosen [[Assistant]] as your role, you'll have no responsibilities. This means you can safely attempt to get your bearings without fear of someone telling you that you need to be doing something. This guide will list a few tasks for you to perform so you can put the concepts discussed above into practice. It might be awkward at first, but it doesn't take much time to get to grips with how to control your character.

Eventualy, once you're confident in the controls, why not consider doing some [[How to Roleplay|roleplaying]]? Theres also [[How to Roleplay|a guide]] to help with that.
== What to do if There's a Breach ==
If you hear the telltale sound of air being sucked out of a room or see a hole in the station, something's gone wrong and caused a breach. It's wise to avoid being exposed to the vacuum of space for too long, but if you need to pass by, you can put '''internals''' on.

When you spawn, inside your backpack is an emergency kit with a [[Emergency Oxygen Tank|small tank of O2]], a [[Breath Mask|breath mask]], and an [[Epipen|epipen]] to stabilize someone who's in crit.
# Using an empty hand, click on your backpack, then click + drag the box inside to your character's sprite. This will open the box.
# Take the breath mask and put it on your mask [[File:Hud-Mask.png]] slot (press the equipment [[File:Hud-inventory.png]] icon to see it).
# Take the O2 tank and put it in one of your pockets. This leaves your hands free for other tasks.
# Press the internals [[File:Gmaskinternalsicon.gif]] icon to turn on your air supply.

This will keep you breathing clean air - make sure to avoid exposure to a vacuum for too long, and watch your air tank's supply in the Status bar!

|[[File:Backpack.png]]'''1. Inventory Management:'''
:The inventory system is a little unintuitive at first, but once you figure it out, it'll stay with you.
:Items in the game have 4 different "weight classes," tiny, small, normal, and bulky. These weight classes determine in which storage slots it can fit in, and what they can't fit in.
:If you are wearing a jumpsuit, the two item storage slots to the rightmost of your screen are your pockets. These pockets can only store tiny items.
:Your hands are where you can grab items and interact with them.
:Your back is where you should have your backpack. Your backpack is your main storage space, but it can only fit a limited amount of items. You can stuff tiny, small, and normal classed items into your backpack. However, normal classed items will take up more storage space than a tiny classed item.
:Your belt is where you store your toolbelt, (if you are an [[engineer]]), your gun, or a variety of other different items, which range from swords to defibrillators.
:The items which you can fit in your suit storage (on the leftmost of your screen, below your gloves) depend on the uniform you are wearing. For example, a hardsuit would allow you to fit an oxygen tank in there, whilst an armor vest would allow you to fit a taser in there.
|-
|[[File:Nuvola apps important.svg|25px]]'''2. Hazards:'''
:<s>A good start to reacting against someone beating your teeth in is by screaming ";HELP <LOCATION NAME> <GUY BEATING YOU UP> IS A [[Jobs#Antagonists|<TRAITOR/LING/WHATEVER>]]. This allows security to flag that guy down as arrest, which means that if a security officer encounters that person again, they see an arrest overlay.</s>
:Try running away instead of fighting unless you are a security officer, remember 99% of the time you aren't a trained combatant and should try contacting security instead of just screaming that theres an antagonist in your exact location

:[[Random events#Radiation Storm|Radiation Storm:]] A message stating '''''"High levels of radiation detected near the station. Maintenance is best shielded from radiation."''''' will broadcast. Normally, if the heads are competent, a station-wide emergency will then be declared opening up maintenance even if you don't have access. All you have to do now is mill in maintenance until the radiation storm passes over.
:If there's cries of revolutionaries or a cult, [[Blood Cult|blood]] or [[Clockwork Cult|otherwise]] over the radio, it's probably in your best interests to secure a pair of sunglasses and head towards security to get implanted (or baton "unconverted"). It's not unknown for security to become particularly trigger-happy towards unimplanted crewmembers.

== What Jobs to Take After Your First Round ==
The best beginner jobs are ones where no one is going to come to you asking for something you don't really understand. assistant is the best because no one expects anything at all from you. You are free to explore and play with the controls. However once you get a grip on the controls is recommended to move to a job where still no one expects anything, but that have a designated objective. The recommended assistant ''plus'' roles are:
* [[Janitor]]: People will expect nothing from you except maybe that you clean the floor.
* [[Curator]]: The library is practically abandoned. Play with board games and painting. Organize books. Get fun loot from your curator beacon.
* [[Cargo Technician|Cargo Tech]]: Move crates until you die. It is said that all SS13 journeys begin and end in cargo. This is because cargo is of vital importance to several game modes. As a CT you will get to see the flow of these rounds first hand. However, your job will still remain to be just moving crates.
After that it's time to move on to some real roles. Funnily enough, the best way to learn these roles is to sign up as an assistant again. You are going to use this role as intended and actually assist some departments. Going to the [[Head of Personnel|HoP]] or whatever place you want to learn about and asking nicely for someone to teach you is a very effective way to learn. The [[Head of Personnel|HoP]] can even give you custom job titles like "medical intern" or "brig receptionist". Job that are good for this are: [[Medical Doctor]], [[Scientist]], [[Station Engineer]]... This is also the best way to dip your toes safely into being a [[Security Officer]]. Be careful, because it's very easy to play security poorly, and [[Shitcurity|letting the power get to your head is a bad idea]].

Avoid joke roles such as the [[Clown]] or [[Mime]] at first. Many players find harassing the on board entertainment much more fun than any jokes the clown might otherwise have.

After some time, when you're confident enough in your combat abilities, you should enable antagonists within your game preferences, so that you can roll for antag when the shift starts. A good half of the game is arguably being an antag and beating everyone up. Don't be scared that you will be a bad antag. Due to the fact that you can't predict what or when it will happen everyone was a painfully obvious antag at one point. It's just how the game works. You should however avoid team antag roles. [[Blood Cult|Blood cult]], blood brothers, [[Revolutionary|revolutions]], [[Clockwork Cult|clock cultists]], [[Nuclear Operative|nuclear operatives]], [[Xenomorph|xenomoprhs]]... The most common and "safe" antag options to dip you toes in are [[Traitor]] and [[Changeling]].

Wrill: clarified that the AI isnt always asimov

This guide is designed for ease of use for first time players, so non-essential information is segregated to expandable text boxes. Reading these isn't necessary to get into the game, but it's recommended.
= [[What is SS13|What is SS13?]] =
{{Speech
|name=Tuterr, the Private Eye
|text=Hmph. Fresh off the boat from Nanotrasen's recruitment office, huh? Let me tell you something, kid. You won't last five minutes on this floating deathtrap without help. You're as likely to be left for dead in a dark maintenance tunnel riddled with bullet holes as you are to get out of here alive. Lucky for you, I'm in a helpful mood today.
|image=[[File:Generic detective.png|64px|right]]
}}

'''Space Station 13''' is a multiplayer sandbox that has a heavy focus on player interaction. In the year 2557, the megacorporation Nanotrasen has employed you as a staff member onboard their latest state of the art research station. Nanotrasen claims to be researching plasma, a mysterious new substance, but rumors are abound that the station is little more than a twisted social experiment...

At the start of each round, each player is assigned a [[Jobs|role]] onboard the station. There are many [[Jobs|jobs]], such as the [[scientist]] performing [[Guide_to_Research_and_Development|research and development]] of new technologies, the [[Medical_Doctor|medical doctor]] trying to keep people alive, or the simple [[janitor]]. There are many different ways to play. The game also randomly chooses a [[Game Mode|a round type]], ranging from [[Nuclear Operative|an all out assault on the station by nuclear operatives]], a [[Blood Cult|sinister cult sacrificing crewmembers to summon their god]], or more commonly, [[Traitor|good ol' fashioned traitors]]. Every round on Space Station 13 is different.
= Before Playing =

'''It's important to [[https://beestation13.com/rules read the rules]] before connecting for the first time.''' Some common new player mistakes to avoid include:
* Being violent towards other crew members without any reason. This is only okay if you're an [[Terminology#Antag|antagonist]], and you will be notified if you're chosen to be one. If they grab you by your butt and try to [[Terminology#Spacing|space]] you, feel free to [[Terminology#Robust/Robusting|robust]] them. (Telling the admins you were "roleplaying an insane person" will get a couple laughs, but you'll still get banned.)
*You can press the mentorhelp button (found in the "MENTOR" tab above the chat) at any time to send a message directly to the mentor team if you have any questions.
One last point: Please, '''remember the human'''. SS13 can be highly frustrating, you will be unceremoniously killed, griefed, or die to some galactic space-bug shortly before executing your master plan. Everyone is here to play a game they enjoy, so keep that in mind before you bash someone's brain in with a toolbox because they took your [[Engineering_items#Multitool|multitool]].
== Setting Up ==

Make your way to the [https://www.byond.com/download/ BYOND download page] and '''download the client'''. Once you've downloaded, installed, and logged into the client, feel free to close it - we won't be needing to use it directly anymore. Once you're set up, choose a server to join:
* '''BeeStation Sage:''' byond://sage.beestation13.com:7878
*'''BeeStation Acacia:''' byond://acacia.beestation13.com:7979
If you can't use these links to join, open the BYOND client, press '''Ctrl and O''', and paste the link to the server you want to join.
<div style="text-align: left; max-width: 800px;">{{#tag:tab|Sage is our main server, it is usually the one with higher population and Acacia is our overflow server, it is up 24/7 just like sage but it is intended to be used when sage is too full or if you like lower populations. There is also Linden, a server that is rarely every up as it is only used when large admin events are being hosted, go on the discord (discord.gg/ss13) to see when an event is taking place!.|dropdown=true|collapsed=true|name=Server Differences}}</div>
[[File:Newplayeroptions.png|left|thumb|The New Player Options menu]] Once you've connected to a server, you'll be greeted by a small popup window labelled '''New Player Options'''.
If this is your first time playing on BeeStation, you'll need to create a character. Click on the '''Setup Character''' button, and the character creation menu will open.
[[File:Character_settings.PNG|thumb|The character setup screen]]
You don't need to worry about Special Names, Custom job preferences, Uplink Spawn Location, or Species - for now, '''make sure you're a human''', and edit your appearance as you see fit. There's no difference between clothing/backpack options other than appearance, so pick what you think looks best.
<div style="text-align: left; max-width: 800px;">{{#tag:tab|Special names are names specific to certain roles - for example, if you're the clown, you may want a funny name instead of your regular one. The name policy is relaxed on these, so if you have a funny idea for a name, go nuts (within reason - this is at admin discretion). The only custom job preference is specific to security officers, and allows you to choose the department you'd like to monitor. The Uplink spawn location is specific to the [[traitor]] role, and determines the item you can access your [[uplink]] from, where you can purchase different tools to accomplish your goals. The various species options have some effects on gameplay - you can browse the articles for [[lizardmen|lizards]], [[flypeople]], and [[plasmamen]] for more info.|dropdown=true|collapsed=true|name=What does all the ignored stuff do?}}</div>
<div style="text-align: left; max-width: 800px;">{{#tag:tab|;The AI:The AI on the station sometimes follows [[Asimov|the three rules of robotics]]. This means that if you aren't human, the AI can ignore you freely and can cause harm to you if they want. Most players will avoid needlessly antagonizing anyone not playing a human, but it's much better to be safe than sorry.|dropdown=true|collapsed=true|name=Why do I need to be a human?}}</div>
Once you've finished editing your appearance, be sure to press the '''Save Setup''' button at the bottom of the window. Next, press the '''Set Occupation Preferences''' button.

{{Speech
|name=Tuterr, the Private Eye
|text=You're brand new here, so make sure you sign up as an Assistant. Nanotrasen usually has checks to make sure fresh meat doesn't get to be the Captain, but if you manage to end up in that position, you'll probably be just another case for me to solve.|image=[[File:Generic detective.png|64px|right]]
}}

[[File:New_Occupation_screen.JPG|thumb|left|The occupation preferences window]]
[[File:Game_prefences_Screen.PNG|thumb|The game preferences window]]
If the button next to Assistant is a red '''NO''', click it once so that it says '''YES''' in green text. This sets your job to be assistant, no matter what.
<div style="text-align: left; max-width: 800px;">{{#tag:tab|When the game begins, the server checks each players occupation preferences, and assigns jobs accordingly. You can pick '''High''', '''Medium''', '''Low''', or '''Never'''. Each player is limited to one High preference job. Some roles have limited player counts - for example, there is only one Captain. There is no limit on assistants, and it's a role that has no responsibilities, so it's ideal for getting to grips with the game. Some jobs that are critical to game progression are locked off until a certain amount of time has passed since your first login. Check the [[Job selection and assignment|job selection and assignment page]] for more info.|dropdown=true|collapsed=true|name=What does all the ignored stuff do?}}</div>
After that, press '''Done''', then, '''Save Setup'''. Then click on '''Game Preferences''' at the top of the character creation screen. The menu will change and have a big list of options.

Make sure all of the Special Role Settings are set to '''No''' (These control optional settings, like choosing if you'd like to roll for a traitor role - they assume you know how to play the game and are important to the round, so we want them off for now.) '''More importantly, change the Keybindings option to [[Keyboard_Shortcuts|"Hotkeys"]]'''. This guide will assume you're using this control scheme, as it provides quicker functions for actions than the default controls. Most of the options here are relatively self explanatory or irrelevant, so once you're done, click '''Save Setup''' one last time and close the window.
 
== Joining the Game ==

Now that you've created your character, you're ready to join the game. (You may want to continue to read the guide before jumping in.)

There's two possible menus here - the lobby screen will either display a list that has '''Join Game!''' or a '''Ready'''/'''Not Ready''' toggle.
<tabs>
<tab name="Join Game!">[[File:Job_select_screen.PNG|thumb|The choose profession window]] <div style="text-align: center;">If the window says '''Join Game!''', there's currently a round going on. This is most likely what you'll see. Click on the button, and a window will pop up asking you to choose a profession. The jobs available will vary, but for now, pick '''Assistant'''. (The numbers in the brackets next to the job title show the current number of players who have been assigned that job for the round, if there is a zero inside the brackets, no one has been assigned to that job for the round. When you click on the job you want, you'll be brought to the station via the [[Arrivals|arrival shuttle]]. You'll start out on a transit shuttle that will dock at the station in a few seconds - you'll also be strapped into a chair, so don't forget to unbuckle yourself. (You can do this by clicking the '''Resist''' button - don't worry if you aren't sure which button that is yet, as it's explained further down the guide.)</div></tab>
<tab name="Ready/Not Ready/Observe"><div style="text-align: center;">If the window has three buttons that say '''Ready''', '''Not Ready''', and '''Observe''', that means a round has not started yet. This is ideal, because you'll be playing the round from the beginning, when things are the going to be calm and allow you to get your bearings in a relatively safe environment. Toggle the button to '''Ready''', then wait for the game to begin. (You can see the time until the game begins on the '''Lobby''' tab, on the top right of the game window.) Pressing '''Observe''' will spawn you as a [[ghost]], which is essentially a spectator - you won't be able to spawn normally until the next round if you select this option!</div></tab>
</tabs>
== Interface 101 ==
=== Tabs ===
[[File:Status tab top.png|left|thumb|Status Tab.]]
Before you do anything else, take a look at the top right of the game window. You'll see some tabs labelled '''Status''', '''Lobby''', '''Admin''', '''IC''', '''Mentor,''' '''OOC''', '''Object''', and '''Preferences'''. The most important tabs are the Status and Admin tabs. If you're using internals (an oxygen tank and mask), the Status tab tells you the remaining air pressure - useful for avoiding death by suffocation. The Admin tab contains the '''Adminhelp''' button, used to contact admins directly if you have a question or believe someone is breaking the rules. The Mentor tab contains the '''Mentorhelp''' button, used to ask mentors questions, and the '''Request Mentor Assistance''' button, which gives any ghosted mentors the option to become an imaginary friend and help with anything you're confused about.
<div style="text-align: left; max-width: 800px;">{{#tag:tab|
; Status : Displays important info such as your ping, the current map, pressure remaining in airtanks, etc.
; Admin : Contains buttons that allow you if any admins are online, and most importantly, to send a message directly to the admins (the '''Adminhelp''' button). If no admins are online, the message will be forwarded to the admin IRC channel.
; Mentor : Contains buttons that allow you to see if any mentors are online, and allow you to ask a question directly to the mentors (the "Mentorhelp" button). Mentorhelps are not forwarded like adminhelps.
; IC : Stands for "In Character". Usually won't use this. (The '''Pray''' button allows you to send a message to any admins online in character - often used for "communicating with the gods". Another useful button is '''Rest''', which lets you go prone at will.)
; OOC : Stands for "Out of Character". Again, rarely needs to be used. Various functions that are related to the game, but not something your character does (eg. seeing the number of players online).
; Object : Never used. Contains buttons to manipulate objects (eg. drag/stop dragging an object), but there are [[Keyboard_Shortcuts|hotkeys]] to do these things much faster.
; Preferences : Self explanatory - contains various options you can toggle on and off.|dropdown=true|collapsed=true|name=Tab descriptions}}</div>
In the '''Status''' tab, take note of the map currently being played on the server. It'll be used later in the guide.
=== HUD ===

{{Speech

|text="Interface"? What the hell are you talking about, kid? "Blue buttons?" Geez, you've been here for five minutes and you're already cracking. Hmmm... *recorder crackles* Note to self - check atmospherics. Gas might be poisoned.|image=[[File:Generic detective.png|64px|right]]
}}
The biggest barrier to entry in Space Station 13 is the controls. The UI is, at a glance, complex, and the controls are unintuitive. Thankfully, once it clicks, you'll never have an issue with it again. '''Don't let it overwhelm you - after a round or two of practice, you should be fine.'''

The top right of the screen contains the action tabs mentioned previously, and the bottom right is the text log. This is where you can see what people are saying, what's happening around you, and chat such as OOC or adminhelps. The bar along the bottom of the screen is the input bar, but since we're on [[Keyboard_Shortcuts|Hotkey]] mode we won't need to use it. There's quite a few HUD elements on the main screen, so let's break them down into sections. '''Don't worry if you can't memorize what everything does at once''' - you can always come back to this guide.
<tabs>
<tab name="Hands">[[File:Hud-hands.gif]] One of the most important elements of the HUD. You have the ability to hold an item in each hand (unless an item takes up both hands, obviously). The square around one of the hands is the '''selected hand'''. If you have an '''empty''' selected hand, and click on an object, you'll pick it up/open it/use it. If '''an object is in your selected hand''' and you click on something, you'll use it on the item you're holding. (The way this works means that if you'd like to unequip your backpack, you need to click and drag the bag into your hand - if it was removed by clicking on it, you'd never be able to open the bag.)

'''If this seems confusing, don't worry - it'll be explained shortly.'''</tab>
<tab name="Inventory Buttons">These icons manage your inventory.

The backpack [[File:Hud-inventory.png]] icon can be toggled to show your worn equipment.

The belt [[File:Hud-Belt.png]], backpack [[File:Hud-Back.png]], and pocket [[File:Hud-Pocket.png]] icons are all storage locations.

The ID [[File:Hud-ID.png]] slot can hold your ID, or your PDA (which can hold your ID).</tab>
<tab name="Interact Commands">These buttons directly affect how you interact with objects.

The drop [[File:Hud-drop.png]] and throw [[File:Hud-throw.png]] icons do what the name implies. Dropping is self explanatory, but the throw button is a toggle - if it's on and you click somewhere, you'll throw the item in your hand at where you clicked. (You can also press R to enable throwing and Q to drop your held item.)

The pull [[File:Hud-pull.png]] icon only appears when dragging something, and can be pressed to stop dragging an object. [[Keyboard_Shortcuts|Hotkey]]: "del".

The internals [[File:Gmaskinternalsicon.gif]] icon can be clicked to enable/disable your internals (oxygen tank and breath mask).

The resist [[File:Hud-resist.png]] icon can be pressed to break out of grabs, restraints, and if you're on fire, is the "stop drop and roll" button. [[Keyboard_Shortcuts|Hotkey]]: "B".

The run/walk toggle [[File:Hud-walkrun.gif]] icon can be pressed to switch between running and walking. Running is faster, but walking has benefits, such as being able to walk over water without slipping - useful for when the janitor doesn't put wet floor signs down. [[Keyboard_Shortcuts|Hotkey]]: Hold "alt" to walk.

The body selector [[File:Hud-target.gif]] icon is used to choose which body part you want to target. This is used for both targeting specific sections to heal, or targeting specific sections when attacking someone. Click a limb to target it. (You can target individual arms, legs, the head, the upper torso, the groin, the eyes, or the mouth.) [[Keyboard_Shortcuts|Hotkeys]]: "numpad keys".

Last but not least is the intent selector [[File:Hud-intent.gif]] - this will be explained in detail later. It has four modes: '''Help''', '''Disarm''', '''Grab''', and '''Harm''', in clockwise order. [[Keyboard_Shortcuts|Hotkeys]]: "1-4".</tab>
<tab name="Other">The health [[File:Hud_100_percent_Health.gif]] icon and [[File:Healthdoll.gif]] doll change depending on how injured you are.

The crafting menu [[File:Craft.gif]] icon opens the crafting menu.

The speech bubble [[File:Talk_wheel.gif]] icon opens the languages menu. You won't need to use this for the tutorial.

The create area [[File:Area_edit.gif]] icon is used to create an "area", which is a more advanced topic. You won't need to worry about it for this tutorial.</tab>
<tab name="Alerts">These will only appear on the HUD if something is wrong.

[[File:Hud-oxy.gif]] '''Oxygen warning''' - The air you're breathing doesn't have enough oxygen.

[[File:Hud-pressure.gif]] '''Pressure warning''' - Pressure levels are too high (red) or too low (black). Low and high pressures can kill you.

[[File:tox_in_air.gif]] '''Toxin warning''' - You are breathing in toxic gases.

[[File:Hud-fire.png]] '''Fire warning''' - The air is hot enough to burn you.

[[File:Hud-freeze.gif]] '''Freeze warning''' - The air is cold enough to freeze you.

[[File:Hud-temp.gif]] '''Temperature warning''' - You're too cold or too hot.

[[File:Hud-hunger.gif]] '''Hunger warning''' - You're starting to get hungry. You cannot die from hunger, but the longer you go without food, the slower you will be able to run. You can also eat too much and become bloated.</tab>
</tabs>
== Controls ==
[[File:Hotkeys.png|thumb|500px|[[Keyboard_Shortcuts|Keybindings]] for the hotkey mode.]]
Don’t get scared by the hotkey image. It shows ''all'' the controls and their alternatives. This might seem like a lot, but don't worry, you'll only be using a few most of the time. The control are quite elegantly designed. There are exceptions, but for the most part you will be able to anything from surgery to nuclear science with the exact same controls.

The default control scheme is “hotkeys” set in the game preferences menu. In case it’s not working you will see the bottom-right textbox in a red color. Click anywhere in the game window and press '''Tab'''. The textbox should go white showing that you are in “hotkey” mode.
* Use the '''WASD''' keys to move around.
* Press the '''X''' key to swap your active hand. The hand system is explained below.
* Press the '''Q''' key to drop what you are currently holding in your hand on the ground.
* Press the '''T''' key to talk. Prefix what you say with a semicolon (;) to say it in the global radio channel. Use the '''M''' key for non-verbal actions like “smile” or “wave”. Use the '''O''' key for OOC chat.
* Use '''left click''' on a thing to interact with it. Interact means different things based on the thing you are clicking. Use '''right click''' for a context menu (mostly used for stacks of items).
* Press the '''Z''' key with an item in hand to “use” it.
* Use '''SHIFT + click''' on anything to examine it. Your new favorite button combo. It will describe what you are looking at. As a new player you will be using this ''very often''.
If you just want to just jump into a round immediately the above controls should be enough for your first round. Doing a task like asking someone where the drink vending machine is, buying and then drinking something.

If you are not as impatient skim the '''[[FullControls|full controls page here]]'''. You can also check out all the available [[Keyboard Shortcuts|hotkeys]].

|image=[[File:Generic detective.png|64px|right]]
}}

Before getting into anything else, it's important to note that since SS13 is such an open ended game that has other people in it, when you get in game and try to follow the guide, things may go wrong - the station might have been almost entirely consumed by a singularity, a traitor could attack you with a powerful weapon, or something no one could have predicted will kill you. It's important to '''not let death get to you''' - Rule 10 exists for a reason! There are multiple ways you can be brought back into the game - don't get frustrated if something happens.

As a brand-new player, your first objective is simply joining the station as non-essential crew and attempting to survive, escaping via the evacuation shuttle or one of the pods located around the station. From there, you can branch out into more of the specific concepts that are often stumbling blocks for newer players, so let's address those first. (These are all in expandable boxes to save space, but it's not a bad idea to read them beforehand.)
=== The Hands System ===
If an item requires two hands to use, then the other hand slot will instead be labeled as “off-hand”. Why do I start by telling you this? Because only one hand can be selected at a time. Imagine yourself as a creature with one hand. You only sprout a second hand when you need to use two handed items.

Another time when you sprout an extra hand is to JUST hold an item. That is because your hands are also just a part of your inventory. However, think of them as an “active” part of your inventory. You place items in these “active” slots when you want to use them.

The bright box around one of your hands is the selected hand. Swap your selected hand with the '''X''' key. This is the hand that's used whenever you click on something. If it’s empty. Otherwise, you will use what you are holding in your hand on what you clicked on.

This can also cause problems with backpacks, boxes, and other containers. If you want to open a container, '''Alt + Click''' it. You can also pick it up, then switch hands and click on the container with an empty hand. Clicking on a container with an object will put it in the container. This also means that if you'd like to '''take your backpack off''', you need to click and drag the bag to an empty hand - a normal click just opens the equipped bag.

If you find this confusing, you should go check out the full controls page. It goes hand in hand (GET IT!?) with this explanation. If you still find it confusing, then maybe you should play your first round already because it really is not that complicated.
=== [[Intent|Intents]] ===
The intent selector has four modes: '''help''' [[File:Intent_Help.png]], '''disarm [[File:Intent_Disarm.png]]''', '''grab''' [[File:Intent_Grab.png]], and '''harm [[File:Intent_Harm.png]]'''. This system mostly controls how you interact with this your bare hands. You can learn more about these uses on [[Intent|the intents page]]. It's not, however, critical that you learn this right now. When it comes to using '''things''' this system is much simpler then it appears. Using a crowbar on someone will hit them '''regardless''' of intent. Most items work like that. Instead when it comes to '''things''' there are special use cases, for example:
* While doing surgery, if you are '''not''' on help [[File:Intent_Help.png]] intent, you will intentionally botch it.
* Clicking on something next to you with a gun will shot them point blank. If, however, you are on harm '''[[File:Intent_Harm.png]]''' intent you will hit them with the weapon instead.
* Using harm '''[[File:Intent_Harm.png]]''' intent on an airlock with a welder will weld it shut instead of repair it.
You don't need to know these things know. It's just so you understand the types of specific thing you will use intents for. These exceptions are not important to memorize. The only intent related thing I want you to know for now is that clicking on people with and empty hand with help [[File:Intent_Help.png]] intent will hug them.
=== Damage ===
There are a few different damage types in SS13. If you take enough damage, you'll fall unconscious into critical condition, better known as '''Crit'''. If left untreated in this state, you'll slowly suffocate until you die.

'''[[Guide_to_medicine#Brute|Brute]]''' damage is received from physical attacks - punches, kicks, toolboxes, hatchets - if someone is hitting you over the head with it, it does Brute damage.

'''[[Guide_to_medicine#Burns|Burn]]''' damage is received from fire or exposure to the vacuum of space.

'''[[Guide_to_medicine#Toxins|Toxin]]''' damage is received from breathing in poison gases, attacks from enemies like giant spiders, ingesting poison, drinking too much booze, or generally having any harmful chemical in your blood.

'''[[Guide_to_medicine#Suffocation|Oxygen]]''' damage is received from being unable to breathe, or while in critical condition. It goes down over time by itself if you're not in crit.

'''[[Guide_to_medicine#Brain_damage|Brain]]''' damage is reveived from being [[Guide_to_genetics#Cloning|cloned]] or [[Guide_to_chemistry#Methamphetamine|other things]]. Can randomly cause [[Guide_to_Traumas|brain traumas]]. Those suffering from brain damage usually need [[Guide_to_chemistry#Mannitol|chemicals]] to cure their condition.

'''[[Guide_to_medicine#Cellular_damage|Cellular]]''' damage is reveived from being [[Guide_to_genetics#Cloning|cloned]] or from being fed on by a [[Slime|slime]]. Can be cured with [[Guide_to_medicine#Cryogenics_Tube|cryo]] treatment.

Brute and Burn damage are applied to specific limbs. If you've been smacked in the head with a toolbox a few times, you'll have to aim at your head (with numpad keys) when you use a bruise pack. Most [[Guide_to_chemistry#Medicines|medicines]] can be ingested to heal damage anywhere on your body. If you take enough damage to one limb, you can be '''dismembered'''. You will need [[Surgery#Prosthetic_Replacement|surgery]] to replace lost limbs.
=== Combat ===
Combat in SS13 is very heavily focused on '''who falls over first'''. If you're prone, you've likely lost. This means items like [[General_items#Soap|soap]] [[File:Soaps.gif]] or [[Security_items#Disabler|disablers]] [[File:ModernDisabler.png]] are extremely useful.

If you get into a fight, consider your options - it may be best to try and simply run away. If you think you can disarm your opponent, you could turn the tables by taking their weapon. Combat in SS13 is fast paced and revolves around a lot of back and forth swipes, almost like a strange joust between 2D spacemen.

Getting better at combat in SS13 requires practice - there's only so much you can be taught. The rest is learning how to create and take advantage of opportunities. Hopefully, you won't have to get into many fights as you start out.

To learn more about combat and how to win fights, see the [[Guide_to_Combat|Guide to Combat]].
=== Ghosts ===
If you end up dying, don't worry, there's a few ways to go from there.

If you try to move, you'll '''[[ghost]]''' out of your corpse. This is essentially spectator mode - you can communicate with other dead players (and talking about the round out of character is okay in this chat) by talking normally and are able to fly around the entire map. (Note that while it's okay to talk about the round in deadchat, if you're revived, '''you cannot use any information gained while dead'''. Anything you saw while alive is fair game.)

If you die, you can be [[Cloning|cloned]], revived via [[defibrillator]], turned into a [[podperson]], have your brain removed and put into a [[cyborg]], or more. There are '''ghost roles''' that can be played by dead players - some areas have objects that, when clicked on as a ghost, will spawn you as a new character. (You're a new character, so don't use any information from your past life.) There may even be alerts that pop up while you're dead, asking if you'd like to take control of a [[xenomorph]], a [[morph]], or almost anything else. These are often provided by admins, but can occasionally happen via random event. '''Please note that if you take on a ghost role you CANNOT be cloned or return to your original body!'''

{{Speech
|name=C-05-MO, the AI
|text=Hello! The automatic diagnostic and announcement system welcomes you to Space Station 13. Remember: Have a secure day.
|image=[[File:AI.gif|64px|right]]
}}

Now that we've gone over the interface and some more important game concepts, let's jump into the game. If you join a game in progress, you'll spawn on the [[Arrivals|arrival shuttle]]. (You'll start buckled onto a chair as the shuttle docks with the station - press the '''Resist''' button on the HUD or the picture of the chair to unbuckle yourself). Otherwise, you'll be spawned in a random, public area of the station.

BeeStation has multiple maps that the server will occasionally change to. The "standard" station layout is [[BoxStation|Box Station]], but the game can also take place on [[MetaStation|Meta Station]], [[PubbyStation|Pubby Station]], [[DeltaStation|Delta Station]], or [[CorgStation|Corg Station]]. You can visit the individual wiki pages to see the layout of a specific map.

Each station has a unique layout, so you'll likely want to use these maps to get your bearings.
* "BoxStation" [https://affectedarc07.github.io/SS13WebMap/BeeStation/BoxStation/ Click here for a map of BoxStation.] Visit [[BoxStation|the wiki page for BoxStation]] for more details.
* "MetaStation" [https://affectedarc07.github.io/SS13WebMap/BeeStation/MetaStation/ Click here for a map of MetaStation.] Visit [[MetaStation|the wiki page for MetaStation]] for more details.

Since you've chosen [[Assistant]] as your role, you'll have no responsibilities. This means you can safely attempt to get your bearings without fear of someone telling you that you need to be doing something. This guide will list a few tasks for you to perform so you can put the concepts discussed above into practice. It might be awkward at first, but it doesn't take much time to get to grips with how to control your character.

Eventualy, once you're confident in the controls, why not consider doing some [[How to Roleplay|roleplaying]]? Theres also [[How to Roleplay|a guide]] to help with that.
== What to do if There's a Breach ==
If you hear the telltale sound of air being sucked out of a room or see a hole in the station, something's gone wrong and caused a breach. It's wise to avoid being exposed to the vacuum of space for too long, but if you need to pass by, you can put '''internals''' on.

When you spawn, inside your backpack is an emergency kit with a [[Emergency Oxygen Tank|small tank of O2]], a [[Breath Mask|breath mask]], and an [[Epipen|epipen]] to stabilize someone who's in crit.
# Using an empty hand, click on your backpack, then click + drag the box inside to your character's sprite. This will open the box.
# Take the breath mask and put it on your mask [[File:Hud-Mask.png]] slot (press the equipment [[File:Hud-inventory.png]] icon to see it).
# Take the O2 tank and put it in one of your pockets. This leaves your hands free for other tasks.
# Press the internals [[File:Gmaskinternalsicon.gif]] icon to turn on your air supply.

This will keep you breathing clean air - make sure to avoid exposure to a vacuum for too long, and watch your air tank's supply in the Status bar!

|-
|[[File:Backpack.png]]'''1. Inventory Management:'''
:The inventory system is a little unintuitive at first, but once you figure it out, it'll stay with you.
:Items in the game have 4 different "weight classes," tiny, small, normal, and bulky. These weight classes determine in which storage slots it can fit in, and what they can't fit in.
:If you are wearing a jumpsuit, the two item storage slots to the rightmost of your screen are your pockets. These pockets can only store tiny items.
:Your hands are where you can grab items and interact with them.
:Your back is where you should have your backpack. Your backpack is your main storage space, but it can only fit a limited amount of items. You can stuff tiny, small, and normal classed items into your backpack. However, normal classed items will take up more storage space than a tiny classed item.
:Your belt is where you store your toolbelt, (if you are an [[engineer]]), your gun, or a variety of other different items, which range from swords to defibrillators.
:The items which you can fit in your suit storage (on the leftmost of your screen, below your gloves) depend on the uniform you are wearing. For example, a hardsuit would allow you to fit an oxygen tank in there, whilst an armor vest would allow you to fit a taser in there.
|-
|[[File:Nuvola apps important.svg|25px]]'''2. Hazards:'''
:<s>A good start to reacting against someone beating your teeth in is by screaming ";HELP <LOCATION NAME> <GUY BEATING YOU UP> IS A [[Jobs#Antagonists|<TRAITOR/LING/WHATEVER>]]. This allows security to flag that guy down as arrest, which means that if a security officer encounters that person again, they see an arrest overlay.</s>
:Try running away instead of fighting unless you are a security officer, remember 99% of the time you aren't a trained combatant and should try contacting security instead of just screaming that theres an antagonist in your exact location

:[[Random events#Radiation Storm|Radiation Storm:]] A message stating '''''"High levels of radiation detected near the station. Maintenance is best shielded from radiation."''''' will broadcast. Normally, if the heads are competent, a station-wide emergency will then be declared opening up maintenance even if you don't have access. All you have to do now is mill in maintenance until the radiation storm passes over.
:If there's cries of revolutionaries or a cult, [[Blood Cult|blood]] or [[Clockwork Cult|otherwise]] over the radio, it's probably in your best interests to secure a pair of sunglasses and head towards security to get implanted (or baton "unconverted"). It's not unknown for security to become particularly trigger-happy towards unimplanted crewmembers.
|}
== What Jobs to Take After Your First Round ==
The best beginner jobs are ones where no one is going to come to you asking for something you don't really understand. assistant is the best because no one expects anything at all from you. You are free to explore and play with the controls. However once you get a grip on the controls is recommended to move to a job where still no one expects anything, but that have a designated objective. The recommended assistant ''plus'' roles are:
* [[Janitor]]: People will expect nothing from you except maybe that you clean the floor.
* [[Curator]]: The library is practically abandoned. Play with board games and painting. Organize books. Get fun loot from your curator beacon.
* [[Cargo Technician|Cargo Tech]]: Move crates until you die. It is said that all SS13 journeys begin and end in cargo. This is because cargo is of vital importance to several game modes. As a CT you will get to see the flow of these rounds first hand. However, your job will still remain to be just moving crates.
After that it's time to move on to some real roles. Funnily enough, the best way to learn these roles is to sign up as an assistant again. You are going to use this role as intended and actually assist some departments. Going to the [[Head of Personnel|HoP]] or whatever place you want to learn about and asking nicely for someone to teach you is a very effective way to learn. The [[Head of Personnel|HoP]] can even give you custom job titles like "medical intern" or "brig receptionist". Job that are good for this are: [[Medical Doctor]], [[Scientist]], [[Station Engineer]]... This is also the best way to dip your toes safely into being a [[Security Officer]]. Be careful, because it's very easy to play security poorly, and [[Shitcurity|letting the power get to your head is a bad idea]].

Avoid joke roles such as the [[Clown]] or [[Mime]] at first. Many players find harassing the on board entertainment much more fun than any jokes the clown might otherwise have.

After some time, when you're confident enough in your combat abilities, you should enable antagonists within your game preferences, so that you can roll for antag when the shift starts. A good half of the game is arguably being an antag and beating everyone up. Don't be scared that you will be a bad antag. Due to the fact that you can't predict what or when it will happen everyone was a painfully obvious antag at one point. It's just how the game works. You should however avoid team antag roles. [[Blood Cult|Blood cult]], blood brothers, [[Revolutionary|revolutions]], [[Clockwork Cult|clock cultists]], [[Nuclear Operative|nuclear operatives]], [[Xenomorph|xenomoprhs]]... The most common and "safe" antag options to dip you toes in are [[Traitor]] and [[Changeling]].

Wrill: added mention of mentor tab to status tab descriptions

This guide is designed for ease of use for first time players, so non-essential information is segregated to expandable text boxes. Reading these isn't necessary to get into the game, but it's recommended.
= [[What is SS13|What is SS13?]] =
{{Speech
|name=Tuterr, the Private Eye
|text=Hmph. Fresh off the boat from Nanotrasen's recruitment office, huh? Let me tell you something, kid. You won't last five minutes on this floating deathtrap without help. You're as likely to be left for dead in a dark maintenance tunnel riddled with bullet holes as you are to get out of here alive. Lucky for you, I'm in a helpful mood today.
|image=[[File:Generic detective.png|64px|right]]
}}

'''Space Station 13''' is a multiplayer sandbox that has a heavy focus on player interaction. In the year 2557, the megacorporation Nanotrasen has employed you as a staff member onboard their latest state of the art research station. Nanotrasen claims to be researching plasma, a mysterious new substance, but rumors are abound that the station is little more than a twisted social experiment...

At the start of each round, each player is assigned a [[Jobs|role]] onboard the station. There are many [[Jobs|jobs]], such as the [[scientist]] performing [[Guide_to_Research_and_Development|research and development]] of new technologies, the [[Medical_Doctor|medical doctor]] trying to keep people alive, or the simple [[janitor]]. There are many different ways to play. The game also randomly chooses a [[Game Mode|a round type]], ranging from [[Nuclear Operative|an all out assault on the station by nuclear operatives]], a [[Blood Cult|sinister cult sacrificing crewmembers to summon their god]], or more commonly, [[Traitor|good ol' fashioned traitors]]. Every round on Space Station 13 is different.
= Before Playing =

'''It's important to [[https://beestation13.com/rules read the rules]] before connecting for the first time.''' Some common new player mistakes to avoid include:
* Being violent towards other crew members without any reason. This is only okay if you're an [[Terminology#Antag|antagonist]], and you will be notified if you're chosen to be one. If they grab you by your butt and try to [[Terminology#Spacing|space]] you, feel free to [[Terminology#Robust/Robusting|robust]] them. (Telling the admins you were "roleplaying an insane person" will get a couple laughs, but you'll still get banned.)
*You can press the mentorhelp button (found in the "MENTOR" tab above the chat) at any time to send a message directly to the mentor team if you have any questions.
One last point: Please, '''remember the human'''. SS13 can be highly frustrating, you will be unceremoniously killed, griefed, or die to some galactic space-bug shortly before executing your master plan. Everyone is here to play a game they enjoy, so keep that in mind before you bash someone's brain in with a toolbox because they took your [[Engineering_items#Multitool|multitool]].
== Setting Up ==

Make your way to the [https://www.byond.com/download/ BYOND download page] and '''download the client'''. Once you've downloaded, installed, and logged into the client, feel free to close it - we won't be needing to use it directly anymore. Once you're set up, choose a server to join:
* '''BeeStation Sage:''' byond://sage.beestation13.com:7878
*'''BeeStation Acacia:''' byond://acacia.beestation13.com:7979
If you can't use these links to join, open the BYOND client, press '''Ctrl and O''', and paste the link to the server you want to join.
<div style="text-align: left; max-width: 800px;">{{#tag:tab|Sage is our main server, it is usually the one with higher population and Acacia is our overflow server, it is up 24/7 just like sage but it is intended to be used when sage is too full or if you like lower populations. There is also Linden, a server that is rarely every up as it is only used when large admin events are being hosted, go on the discord (discord.gg/ss13) to see when an event is taking place!.|dropdown=true|collapsed=true|name=Server Differences}}</div>
[[File:Newplayeroptions.png|left|thumb|The New Player Options menu]] Once you've connected to a server, you'll be greeted by a small popup window labelled '''New Player Options'''.
If this is your first time playing on BeeStation, you'll need to create a character. Click on the '''Setup Character''' button, and the character creation menu will open.
[[File:Character_settings.PNG|thumb|The character setup screen]]
You don't need to worry about Special Names, Custom job preferences, Uplink Spawn Location, or Species - for now, '''make sure you're a human''', and edit your appearance as you see fit. There's no difference between clothing/backpack options other than appearance, so pick what you think looks best.
<div style="text-align: left; max-width: 800px;">{{#tag:tab|Special names are names specific to certain roles - for example, if you're the clown, you may want a funny name instead of your regular one. The name policy is relaxed on these, so if you have a funny idea for a name, go nuts (within reason - this is at admin discretion). The only custom job preference is specific to security officers, and allows you to choose the department you'd like to monitor. The Uplink spawn location is specific to the [[traitor]] role, and determines the item you can access your [[uplink]] from, where you can purchase different tools to accomplish your goals. The various species options have some effects on gameplay - you can browse the articles for [[lizardmen|lizards]], [[flypeople]], and [[plasmamen]] for more info.|dropdown=true|collapsed=true|name=What does all the ignored stuff do?}}</div>
<div style="text-align: left; max-width: 800px;">{{#tag:tab|The AI on the station follows [[Asimov|the three rules of robotics]]. This means that if you aren't human, the AI can ignore you freely and can cause harm to you if they want. Most players will avoid needlessly antagonizing anyone not playing a human, but it's much better to be safe than sorry.|dropdown=true|collapsed=true|name=Why do I need to be a human?}}</div>
Once you've finished editing your appearance, be sure to press the '''Save Setup''' button at the bottom of the window. Next, press the '''Set Occupation Preferences''' button.

{{Speech
|name=Tuterr, the Private Eye
|text=You're brand new here, so make sure you sign up as an Assistant. Nanotrasen usually has checks to make sure fresh meat doesn't get to be the Captain, but if you manage to end up in that position, you'll probably be just another case for me to solve.|image=[[File:Generic detective.png|64px|right]]
}}

[[File:New_Occupation_screen.JPG|thumb|left|The occupation preferences window]]
[[File:Game_prefences_Screen.PNG|thumb|The game preferences window]]
If the button next to Assistant is a red '''NO''', click it once so that it says '''YES''' in green text. This sets your job to be assistant, no matter what.
<div style="text-align: left; max-width: 800px;">{{#tag:tab|When the game begins, the server checks each players occupation preferences, and assigns jobs accordingly. You can pick '''High''', '''Medium''', '''Low''', or '''Never'''. Each player is limited to one High preference job. Some roles have limited player counts - for example, there is only one Captain. There is no limit on assistants, and it's a role that has no responsibilities, so it's ideal for getting to grips with the game. Some jobs that are critical to game progression are locked off until a certain amount of time has passed since your first login. Check the [[Job selection and assignment|job selection and assignment page]] for more info.|dropdown=true|collapsed=true|name=What does all the ignored stuff do?}}</div>
After that, press '''Done''', then, '''Save Setup'''. Then click on '''Game Preferences''' at the top of the character creation screen. The menu will change and have a big list of options.

Make sure all of the Special Role Settings are set to '''No''' (These control optional settings, like choosing if you'd like to roll for a traitor role - they assume you know how to play the game and are important to the round, so we want them off for now.) '''More importantly, change the Keybindings option to [[Keyboard_Shortcuts|"Hotkeys"]]'''. This guide will assume you're using this control scheme, as it provides quicker functions for actions than the default controls. Most of the options here are relatively self explanatory or irrelevant, so once you're done, click '''Save Setup''' one last time and close the window.
 
== Joining the Game ==

Now that you've created your character, you're ready to join the game. (You may want to continue to read the guide before jumping in.)

There's two possible menus here - the lobby screen will either display a list that has '''Join Game!''' or a '''Ready'''/'''Not Ready''' toggle.
<tabs>
<tab name="Join Game!">[[File:Job_select_screen.PNG|thumb|The choose profession window]] <div style="text-align: center;">If the window says '''Join Game!''', there's currently a round going on. This is most likely what you'll see. Click on the button, and a window will pop up asking you to choose a profession. The jobs available will vary, but for now, pick '''Assistant'''. (The numbers in the brackets next to the job title show the current number of players who have been assigned that job for the round, if there is a zero inside the brackets, no one has been assigned to that job for the round. When you click on the job you want, you'll be brought to the station via the [[Arrivals|arrival shuttle]]. You'll start out on a transit shuttle that will dock at the station in a few seconds - you'll also be strapped into a chair, so don't forget to unbuckle yourself. (You can do this by clicking the '''Resist''' button - don't worry if you aren't sure which button that is yet, as it's explained further down the guide.)</div></tab>
<tab name="Ready/Not Ready/Observe"><div style="text-align: center;">If the window has three buttons that say '''Ready''', '''Not Ready''', and '''Observe''', that means a round has not started yet. This is ideal, because you'll be playing the round from the beginning, when things are the going to be calm and allow you to get your bearings in a relatively safe environment. Toggle the button to '''Ready''', then wait for the game to begin. (You can see the time until the game begins on the '''Lobby''' tab, on the top right of the game window.) Pressing '''Observe''' will spawn you as a [[ghost]], which is essentially a spectator - you won't be able to spawn normally until the next round if you select this option!</div></tab>
</tabs>
== Interface 101 ==
=== Tabs ===
[[File:Status tab top.png|left|thumb|Status Tab.]]
Before you do anything else, take a look at the top right of the game window. You'll see some tabs labelled '''Status''', '''Lobby''', '''Admin''', '''IC''', '''Mentor,''' '''OOC''', '''Object''', and '''Preferences'''. The most important tabs are the Status and Admin tabs. If you're using internals (an oxygen tank and mask), the Status tab tells you the remaining air pressure - useful for avoiding death by suffocation. The Admin tab contains the '''Adminhelp''' button, used to contact admins directly if you have a question or believe someone is breaking the rules. The Mentor tab contains the '''Mentorhelp''' button, used to ask mentors questions, and the '''Request Mentor Assistance''' button, which gives any ghosted mentors the option to become an imaginary friend and help with anything you're confused about.
<div style="text-align: left; max-width: 800px;">{{#tag:tab|
; Status : Displays important info such as your ping, the current map, pressure remaining in airtanks, etc.
; Admin : Contains buttons that allow you if any admins are online, and most importantly, to send a message directly to the admins (the '''Adminhelp''' button). If no admins are online, the message will be forwarded to the admin IRC channel.
; Mentor : Contains buttons that allow you to see if any mentors are online, and allow you to ask a question directly to the mentors (the "Mentorhelp" button). Mentorhelps are not forwarded like adminhelps.
; IC : Stands for "In Character". Usually won't use this. (The '''Pray''' button allows you to send a message to any admins online in character - often used for "communicating with the gods". Another useful button is '''Rest''', which lets you go prone at will.)
; OOC : Stands for "Out of Character". Again, rarely needs to be used. Various functions that are related to the game, but not something your character does (eg. seeing the number of players online).
; Object : Never used. Contains buttons to manipulate objects (eg. drag/stop dragging an object), but there are [[Keyboard_Shortcuts|hotkeys]] to do these things much faster.
; Preferences : Self explanatory - contains various options you can toggle on and off.|dropdown=true|collapsed=true|name=Tab descriptions}}</div>
In the '''Status''' tab, take note of the map currently being played on the server. It'll be used later in the guide.
=== HUD ===

}}
The biggest barrier to entry in Space Station 13 is the controls. The UI is, at a glance, complex, and the controls are unintuitive. Thankfully, once it clicks, you'll never have an issue with it again. '''Don't let it overwhelm you - after a round or two of practice, you should be fine.'''

The top right of the screen contains the action tabs mentioned previously, and the bottom right is the text log. This is where you can see what people are saying, what's happening around you, and chat such as OOC or adminhelps. The bar along the bottom of the screen is the input bar, but since we're on [[Keyboard_Shortcuts|Hotkey]] mode we won't need to use it. There's quite a few HUD elements on the main screen, so let's break them down into sections. '''Don't worry if you can't memorize what everything does at once''' - you can always come back to this guide.
<tabs>
<tab name="Hands">[[File:Hud-hands.gif]] One of the most important elements of the HUD. You have the ability to hold an item in each hand (unless an item takes up both hands, obviously). The square around one of the hands is the '''selected hand'''. If you have an '''empty''' selected hand, and click on an object, you'll pick it up/open it/use it. If '''an object is in your selected hand''' and you click on something, you'll use it on the item you're holding. (The way this works means that if you'd like to unequip your backpack, you need to click and drag the bag into your hand - if it was removed by clicking on it, you'd never be able to open the bag.)

'''If this seems confusing, don't worry - it'll be explained shortly.'''</tab>
<tab name="Inventory Buttons">These icons manage your inventory.

The backpack [[File:Hud-inventory.png]] icon can be toggled to show your worn equipment.

The belt [[File:Hud-Belt.png]], backpack [[File:Hud-Back.png]], and pocket [[File:Hud-Pocket.png]] icons are all storage locations.

The ID [[File:Hud-ID.png]] slot can hold your ID, or your PDA (which can hold your ID).</tab>
<tab name="Interact Commands">These buttons directly affect how you interact with objects.

The drop [[File:Hud-drop.png]] and throw [[File:Hud-throw.png]] icons do what the name implies. Dropping is self explanatory, but the throw button is a toggle - if it's on and you click somewhere, you'll throw the item in your hand at where you clicked. (You can also press R to enable throwing and Q to drop your held item.)

The pull [[File:Hud-pull.png]] icon only appears when dragging something, and can be pressed to stop dragging an object. [[Keyboard_Shortcuts|Hotkey]]: "del".

The internals [[File:Gmaskinternalsicon.gif]] icon can be clicked to enable/disable your internals (oxygen tank and breath mask).

The resist [[File:Hud-resist.png]] icon can be pressed to break out of grabs, restraints, and if you're on fire, is the "stop drop and roll" button. [[Keyboard_Shortcuts|Hotkey]]: "B".

The run/walk toggle [[File:Hud-walkrun.gif]] icon can be pressed to switch between running and walking. Running is faster, but walking has benefits, such as being able to walk over water without slipping - useful for when the janitor doesn't put wet floor signs down. [[Keyboard_Shortcuts|Hotkey]]: Hold "alt" to walk.

The body selector [[File:Hud-target.gif]] icon is used to choose which body part you want to target. This is used for both targeting specific sections to heal, or targeting specific sections when attacking someone. Click a limb to target it. (You can target individual arms, legs, the head, the upper torso, the groin, the eyes, or the mouth.) [[Keyboard_Shortcuts|Hotkeys]]: "numpad keys".

Last but not least is the intent selector [[File:Hud-intent.gif]] - this will be explained in detail later. It has four modes: '''Help''', '''Disarm''', '''Grab''', and '''Harm''', in clockwise order. [[Keyboard_Shortcuts|Hotkeys]]: "1-4".</tab>
<tab name="Other">The health [[File:Hud_100_percent_Health.gif]] icon and [[File:Healthdoll.gif]] doll change depending on how injured you are.

The crafting menu [[File:Craft.gif]] icon opens the crafting menu.

The speech bubble [[File:Talk_wheel.gif]] icon opens the languages menu. You won't need to use this for the tutorial.

The create area [[File:Area_edit.gif]] icon is used to create an "area", which is a more advanced topic. You won't need to worry about it for this tutorial.</tab>
<tab name="Alerts">These will only appear on the HUD if something is wrong.

== Controls ==
[[File:Hotkeys.png|thumb|500px|[[Keyboard_Shortcuts|Keybindings]] for the hotkey mode.]]
Don’t get scared by the hotkey image. It shows ''all'' the controls and their alternatives. This might seem like a lot, but don't worry, you'll only be using a few most of the time. The control are quite elegantly designed. There are exceptions, but for the most part you will be able to anything from surgery to nuclear science with the exact same controls.

The default control scheme is “hotkeys” set in the game preferences menu. In case it’s not working you will see the bottom-right textbox in a red color. Click anywhere in the game window and press '''Tab'''. The textbox should go white showing that you are in “hotkey” mode.
* Use the '''WASD''' keys to move around.
* Press the '''X''' key to swap your active hand. The hand system is explained below.
* Press the '''Q''' key to drop what you are currently holding in your hand on the ground.
* Press the '''T''' key to talk. Prefix what you say with a semicolon (;) to say it in the global radio channel. Use the '''M''' key for non-verbal actions like “smile” or “wave”. Use the '''O''' key for OOC chat.
* Use '''left click''' on a thing to interact with it. Interact means different things based on the thing you are clicking. Use '''right click''' for a context menu (mostly used for stacks of items).
* Press the '''Z''' key with an item in hand to “use” it.
* Use '''SHIFT + click''' on anything to examine it. Your new favorite button combo. It will describe what you are looking at. As a new player you will be using this ''very often''.
If you just want to just jump into a round immediately the above controls should be enough for your first round. Doing a task like asking someone where the drink vending machine is, buying and then drinking something.

If you are not as impatient skim the '''[[FullControls|full controls page here]]'''. You can also check out all the available [[Keyboard Shortcuts|hotkeys]].

}}

Before getting into anything else, it's important to note that since SS13 is such an open ended game that has other people in it, when you get in game and try to follow the guide, things may go wrong - the station might have been almost entirely consumed by a singularity, a traitor could attack you with a powerful weapon, or something no one could have predicted will kill you. It's important to '''not let death get to you''' - Rule 10 exists for a reason! There are multiple ways you can be brought back into the game - don't get frustrated if something happens.

As a brand-new player, your first objective is simply joining the station as non-essential crew and attempting to survive, escaping via the evacuation shuttle or one of the pods located around the station. From there, you can branch out into more of the specific concepts that are often stumbling blocks for newer players, so let's address those first. (These are all in expandable boxes to save space, but it's not a bad idea to read them beforehand.)
=== The Hands System ===
If an item requires two hands to use, then the other hand slot will instead be labeled as “off-hand”. Why do I start by telling you this? Because only one hand can be selected at a time. Imagine yourself as a creature with one hand. You only sprout a second hand when you need to use two handed items.

Another time when you sprout an extra hand is to JUST hold an item. That is because your hands are also just a part of your inventory. However, think of them as an “active” part of your inventory. You place items in these “active” slots when you want to use them.

The bright box around one of your hands is the selected hand. Swap your selected hand with the '''X''' key. This is the hand that's used whenever you click on something. If it’s empty. Otherwise, you will use what you are holding in your hand on what you clicked on.

This can also cause problems with backpacks, boxes, and other containers. If you want to open a container, '''Alt + Click''' it. You can also pick it up, then switch hands and click on the container with an empty hand. Clicking on a container with an object will put it in the container. This also means that if you'd like to '''take your backpack off''', you need to click and drag the bag to an empty hand - a normal click just opens the equipped bag.

If you find this confusing, you should go check out the full controls page. It goes hand in hand (GET IT!?) with this explanation. If you still find it confusing, then maybe you should play your first round already because it really is not that complicated.
=== [[Intent|Intents]] ===
The intent selector has four modes: '''help''' [[File:Intent_Help.png]], '''disarm [[File:Intent_Disarm.png]]''', '''grab''' [[File:Intent_Grab.png]], and '''harm [[File:Intent_Harm.png]]'''. This system mostly controls how you interact with this your bare hands. You can learn more about these uses on [[Intent|the intents page]]. It's not, however, critical that you learn this right now. When it comes to using '''things''' this system is much simpler then it appears. Using a crowbar on someone will hit them '''regardless''' of intent. Most items work like that. Instead when it comes to '''things''' there are special use cases, for example:
* While doing surgery, if you are '''not''' on help [[File:Intent_Help.png]] intent, you will intentionally botch it.
* Clicking on something next to you with a gun will shot them point blank. If, however, you are on harm '''[[File:Intent_Harm.png]]''' intent you will hit them with the weapon instead.
* Using harm '''[[File:Intent_Harm.png]]''' intent on an airlock with a welder will weld it shut instead of repair it.
You don't need to know these things know. It's just so you understand the types of specific thing you will use intents for. These exceptions are not important to memorize. The only intent related thing I want you to know for now is that clicking on people with and empty hand with help [[File:Intent_Help.png]] intent will hug them.
=== Damage ===
There are a few different damage types in SS13. If you take enough damage, you'll fall unconscious into critical condition, better known as '''Crit'''. If left untreated in this state, you'll slowly suffocate until you die.

'''[[Guide_to_medicine#Brute|Brute]]''' damage is received from physical attacks - punches, kicks, toolboxes, hatchets - if someone is hitting you over the head with it, it does Brute damage.

'''[[Guide_to_medicine#Burns|Burn]]''' damage is received from fire or exposure to the vacuum of space.

'''[[Guide_to_medicine#Toxins|Toxin]]''' damage is received from breathing in poison gases, attacks from enemies like giant spiders, ingesting poison, drinking too much booze, or generally having any harmful chemical in your blood.

'''[[Guide_to_medicine#Suffocation|Oxygen]]''' damage is received from being unable to breathe, or while in critical condition. It goes down over time by itself if you're not in crit.

'''[[Guide_to_medicine#Brain_damage|Brain]]''' damage is reveived from being [[Guide_to_genetics#Cloning|cloned]] or [[Guide_to_chemistry#Methamphetamine|other things]]. Can randomly cause [[Guide_to_Traumas|brain traumas]]. Those suffering from brain damage usually need [[Guide_to_chemistry#Mannitol|chemicals]] to cure their condition.

'''[[Guide_to_medicine#Cellular_damage|Cellular]]''' damage is reveived from being [[Guide_to_genetics#Cloning|cloned]] or from being fed on by a [[Slime|slime]]. Can be cured with [[Guide_to_medicine#Cryogenics_Tube|cryo]] treatment.

Brute and Burn damage are applied to specific limbs. If you've been smacked in the head with a toolbox a few times, you'll have to aim at your head (with numpad keys) when you use a bruise pack. Most [[Guide_to_chemistry#Medicines|medicines]] can be ingested to heal damage anywhere on your body. If you take enough damage to one limb, you can be '''dismembered'''. You will need [[Surgery#Prosthetic_Replacement|surgery]] to replace lost limbs.
=== Combat ===
Combat in SS13 is very heavily focused on '''who falls over first'''. If you're prone, you've likely lost. This means items like [[General_items#Soap|soap]] [[File:Soaps.gif]] or [[Security_items#Disabler|disablers]] [[File:ModernDisabler.png]] are extremely useful.

If you get into a fight, consider your options - it may be best to try and simply run away. If you think you can disarm your opponent, you could turn the tables by taking their weapon. Combat in SS13 is fast paced and revolves around a lot of back and forth swipes, almost like a strange joust between 2D spacemen.

Getting better at combat in SS13 requires practice - there's only so much you can be taught. The rest is learning how to create and take advantage of opportunities. Hopefully, you won't have to get into many fights as you start out.

To learn more about combat and how to win fights, see the [[Guide_to_Combat|Guide to Combat]].
=== Ghosts ===
If you end up dying, don't worry, there's a few ways to go from there.

If you try to move, you'll '''[[ghost]]''' out of your corpse. This is essentially spectator mode - you can communicate with other dead players (and talking about the round out of character is okay in this chat) by talking normally and are able to fly around the entire map. (Note that while it's okay to talk about the round in deadchat, if you're revived, '''you cannot use any information gained while dead'''. Anything you saw while alive is fair game.)

If you die, you can be [[Cloning|cloned]], revived via [[defibrillator]], turned into a [[podperson]], have your brain removed and put into a [[cyborg]], or more. There are '''ghost roles''' that can be played by dead players - some areas have objects that, when clicked on as a ghost, will spawn you as a new character. (You're a new character, so don't use any information from your past life.) There may even be alerts that pop up while you're dead, asking if you'd like to take control of a [[xenomorph]], a [[morph]], or almost anything else. These are often provided by admins, but can occasionally happen via random event. '''Please note that if you take on a ghost role you CANNOT be cloned or return to your original body!'''

}}

Now that we've gone over the interface and some more important game concepts, let's jump into the game. If you join a game in progress, you'll spawn on the [[Arrivals|arrival shuttle]]. (You'll start buckled onto a chair as the shuttle docks with the station - press the '''Resist''' button on the HUD or the picture of the chair to unbuckle yourself). Otherwise, you'll be spawned in a random, public area of the station.

BeeStation has multiple maps that the server will occasionally change to. The "standard" station layout is [[BoxStation|Box Station]], but the game can also take place on [[MetaStation|Meta Station]], [[PubbyStation|Pubby Station]], [[DeltaStation|Delta Station]], or [[CorgStation|Corg Station]]. You can visit the individual wiki pages to see the layout of a specific map.

Each station has a unique layout, so you'll likely want to use these maps to get your bearings.
* "BoxStation" [https://affectedarc07.github.io/SS13WebMap/BeeStation/BoxStation/ Click here for a map of BoxStation.] Visit [[BoxStation|the wiki page for BoxStation]] for more details.
* "MetaStation" [https://affectedarc07.github.io/SS13WebMap/BeeStation/MetaStation/ Click here for a map of MetaStation.] Visit [[MetaStation|the wiki page for MetaStation]] for more details.

Since you've chosen [[Assistant]] as your role, you'll have no responsibilities. This means you can safely attempt to get your bearings without fear of someone telling you that you need to be doing something. This guide will list a few tasks for you to perform so you can put the concepts discussed above into practice. It might be awkward at first, but it doesn't take much time to get to grips with how to control your character.

Eventualy, once you're confident in the controls, why not consider doing some [[How to Roleplay|roleplaying]]? Theres also [[How to Roleplay|a guide]] to help with that.
== What to do if There's a Breach ==
If you hear the telltale sound of air being sucked out of a room or see a hole in the station, something's gone wrong and caused a breach. It's wise to avoid being exposed to the vacuum of space for too long, but if you need to pass by, you can put '''internals''' on.

When you spawn, inside your backpack is an emergency kit with a [[Emergency Oxygen Tank|small tank of O2]], a [[Breath Mask|breath mask]], and an [[Epipen|epipen]] to stabilize someone who's in crit.
# Using an empty hand, click on your backpack, then click + drag the box inside to your character's sprite. This will open the box.
# Take the breath mask and put it on your mask [[File:Hud-Mask.png]] slot (press the equipment [[File:Hud-inventory.png]] icon to see it).
# Take the O2 tank and put it in one of your pockets. This leaves your hands free for other tasks.
# Press the internals [[File:Gmaskinternalsicon.gif]] icon to turn on your air supply.

This will keep you breathing clean air - make sure to avoid exposure to a vacuum for too long, and watch your air tank's supply in the Status bar!

|[[File:Backpack.png]]'''1. Inventory Management:'''
:The inventory system is a little unintuitive at first, but once you figure it out, it'll stay with you.
:Items in the game have 4 different "weight classes," tiny, small, normal, and bulky. These weight classes determine in which storage slots it can fit in, and what they can't fit in.
:If you are wearing a jumpsuit, the two item storage slots to the rightmost of your screen are your pockets. These pockets can only store tiny items.
:Your hands are where you can grab items and interact with them.
:Your back is where you should have your backpack. Your backpack is your main storage space, but it can only fit a limited amount of items. You can stuff tiny, small, and normal classed items into your backpack. However, normal classed items will take up more storage space than a tiny classed item.
:Your belt is where you store your toolbelt, (if you are an [[engineer]]), your gun, or a variety of other different items, which range from swords to defibrillators.
:The items which you can fit in your suit storage (on the leftmost of your screen, below your gloves) depend on the uniform you are wearing. For example, a hardsuit would allow you to fit an oxygen tank in there, whilst an armor vest would allow you to fit a taser in there.

|[[File:Nuvola apps important.svg|25px]]'''2. Hazards:'''
:<s>A good start to reacting against someone beating your teeth in is by screaming ";HELP <LOCATION NAME> <GUY BEATING YOU UP> IS A [[Jobs#Antagonists|<TRAITOR/LING/WHATEVER>]]. This allows security to flag that guy down as arrest, which means that if a security officer encounters that person again, they see an arrest overlay.</s>
:Try running away instead of fighting unless you are a security officer, remember 99% of the time you aren't a trained combatant and should try contacting security instead of just screaming that theres an antagonist in your exact location

:[[Random events#Radiation Storm|Radiation Storm:]] A message stating '''''"High levels of radiation detected near the station. Maintenance is best shielded from radiation."''''' will broadcast. Normally, if the heads are competent, a station-wide emergency will then be declared opening up maintenance even if you don't have access. All you have to do now is mill in maintenance until the radiation storm passes over.
:If there's cries of revolutionaries or a cult, [[Blood Cult|blood]] or [[Clockwork Cult|otherwise]] over the radio, it's probably in your best interests to secure a pair of sunglasses and head towards security to get implanted (or baton "unconverted"). It's not unknown for security to become particularly trigger-happy towards unimplanted crewmembers.

== What Jobs to Take After Your First Round ==
The best beginner jobs are ones where no one is going to come to you asking for something you don't really understand. assistant is the best because no one expects anything at all from you. You are free to explore and play with the controls. However once you get a grip on the controls is recommended to move to a job where still no one expects anything, but that have a designated objective. The recommended assistant ''plus'' roles are:
* [[Janitor]]: People will expect nothing from you except maybe that you clean the floor.
* [[Curator]]: The library is practically abandoned. Play with board games and painting. Organize books. Get fun loot from your curator beacon.
* [[Cargo Technician|Cargo Tech]]: Move crates until you die. It is said that all SS13 journeys begin and end in cargo. This is because cargo is of vital importance to several game modes. As a CT you will get to see the flow of these rounds first hand. However, your job will still remain to be just moving crates.
After that it's time to move on to some real roles. Funnily enough, the best way to learn these roles is to sign up as an assistant again. You are going to use this role as intended and actually assist some departments. Going to the [[Head of Personnel|HoP]] or whatever place you want to learn about and asking nicely for someone to teach you is a very effective way to learn. The [[Head of Personnel|HoP]] can even give you custom job titles like "medical intern" or "brig receptionist". Job that are good for this are: [[Medical Doctor]], [[Scientist]], [[Station Engineer]]... This is also the best way to dip your toes safely into being a [[Security Officer]]. Be careful, because it's very easy to play security poorly, and [[Shitcurity|letting the power get to your head is a bad idea]].

Avoid joke roles such as the [[Clown]] or [[Mime]] at first. Many players find harassing the on board entertainment much more fun than any jokes the clown might otherwise have.

After some time, when you're confident enough in your combat abilities, you should enable antagonists within your game preferences, so that you can roll for antag when the shift starts. A good half of the game is arguably being an antag and beating everyone up. Don't be scared that you will be a bad antag. Due to the fact that you can't predict what or when it will happen everyone was a painfully obvious antag at one point. It's just how the game works. You should however avoid team antag roles. [[Blood Cult|Blood cult]], blood brothers, [[Revolutionary|revolutions]], [[Clockwork Cult|clock cultists]], [[Nuclear Operative|nuclear operatives]], [[Xenomorph|xenomoprhs]]... The most common and "safe" antag options to dip you toes in are [[Traitor]] and [[Changeling]].

Wrill: Added mention of the mentor tab and buttons to the status tab section.

This guide is designed for ease of use for first time players, so non-essential information is segregated to expandable text boxes. Reading these isn't necessary to get into the game, but it's recommended.

|text=Hmph. Fresh off the boat from Nanotrasen's recruitment office, huh? Let me tell you something, kid. You won't last five minutes on this floating deathtrap without help.

'''Space Station 13''' is a multiplayer sandbox that has a heavy focus on player interaction. In the year 2557, the megacorporation Nanotrasen has employed you as a staff member onboard their latest state of the art research station. Nanotrasen claims to be researching plasma, a mysterious new substance, but rumors are abound that the station is little more than a twisted social experiment...

At the start of each round, each player is assigned a [[Jobs|role]] onboard the station. There are many [[Jobs|jobs]], such as the [[scientist]] performing [[Guide_to_Research_and_Development|research and development]] of new technologies, the [[Medical_Doctor|medical doctor]] trying to keep people alive, or the simple [[janitor]]. There are many different ways to play. The game also randomly chooses a [[Game Mode|a round type]], ranging from [[Nuclear Operative|an all out assault on the station by nuclear operatives]], a [[Blood Cult|sinister cult sacrificing crewmembers to summon their god]], or more commonly, [[Traitor|good ol' fashioned traitors]]. Every round on Space Station 13 is different.
= Before Playing =

'''It's important to [[https://beestation13.com/rules read the rules]] before connecting for the first time.''' Some common new player mistakes to avoid include:
* Being violent towards other crew members without any reason. This is only okay if you're an [[Terminology#Antag|antagonist]], and you will be notified if you're chosen to be one. If they grab you by your butt and try to [[Terminology#Spacing|space]] you, feel free to [[Terminology#Robust/Robusting|robust]] them. (Telling the admins you were "roleplaying an insane person" will get a couple laughs, but you'll still get banned.)
*You can press the mentorhelp button (found in the "MENTOR" tab above the chat) at any time to send a message directly to the mentor team if you have any questions.
One last point: Please, '''remember the human'''. SS13 can be highly frustrating, you will be unceremoniously killed, griefed, or die to some galactic space-bug shortly before executing your master plan. Everyone is here to play a game they enjoy, so keep that in mind before you bash someone's brain in with a toolbox because they took your [[Engineering_items#Multitool|multitool]].
== Setting Up ==

Make your way to the [https://www.byond.com/download/ BYOND download page] and '''download the client'''. Once you've downloaded, installed, and logged into the client, feel free to close it - we won't be needing to use it directly anymore. Once you're set up, choose a server to join:
* '''BeeStation Sage:''' byond://sage.beestation13.com:7878
*'''BeeStation Acacia:''' byond://acacia.beestation13.com:7979
If you can't use these links to join, open the BYOND client, press '''Ctrl and O''', and paste the link to the server you want to join.
<div style="text-align: left; max-width: 800px;">{{#tag:tab|Sage is our main server, it is usually the one with higher population and Acacia is our overflow server, it is up 24/7 just like sage but it is intended to be used when sage is too full or if you like lower populations. There is also Linden, a server that is rarely every up as it is only used when large admin events are being hosted, go on the discord (discord.gg/ss13) to see when an event is taking place!.|dropdown=true|collapsed=true|name=Server Differences}}</div>
[[File:Newplayeroptions.png|left|thumb|The New Player Options menu]] Once you've connected to a server, you'll be greeted by a small popup window labelled '''New Player Options'''.
If this is your first time playing on BeeStation, you'll need to create a character. Click on the '''Setup Character''' button, and the character creation menu will open.
[[File:Character_settings.PNG|thumb|The character setup screen]]
You don't need to worry about Special Names, Custom job preferences, Uplink Spawn Location, or Species - for now, '''make sure you're a human''', and edit your appearance as you see fit. There's no difference between clothing/backpack options other than appearance, so pick what you think looks best.
<div style="text-align: left; max-width: 800px;">{{#tag:tab|Special names are names specific to certain roles - for example, if you're the clown, you may want a funny name instead of your regular one. The name policy is relaxed on these, so if you have a funny idea for a name, go nuts (within reason - this is at admin discretion). The only custom job preference is specific to security officers, and allows you to choose the department you'd like to monitor. The Uplink spawn location is specific to the [[traitor]] role, and determines the item you can access your [[uplink]] from, where you can purchase different tools to accomplish your goals. The various species options have some effects on gameplay - you can browse the articles for [[lizardmen|lizards]], [[flypeople]], and [[plasmamen]] for more info.|dropdown=true|collapsed=true|name=What does all the ignored stuff do?}}</div>
<div style="text-align: left; max-width: 800px;">{{#tag:tab|The AI on the station follows [[Asimov|the three rules of robotics]].

Most players will avoid needlessly antagonizing anyone not playing a human, but it's much better to be safe than sorry.|dropdown=true|collapsed=true|name=Why do I need to be a human?}}</div>
Once you've finished editing your appearance, be sure to press the '''Save Setup''' button at the bottom of the window. Next, press the '''Set Occupation Preferences''' button.

{{Speech

|text=You're brand new here, so make sure you sign up as an Assistant.

}}

[[File:New_Occupation_screen.JPG|thumb|left|The occupation preferences window]]
[[File:Game_prefences_Screen.PNG|thumb|The game preferences window]]
If the button next to Assistant is a red '''NO''', click it once so that it says '''YES''' in green text. This sets your job to be assistant, no matter what.
<div style="text-align: left; max-width: 800px;">{{#tag:tab|When the game begins, the server checks each players occupation preferences, and assigns jobs accordingly. You can pick '''High''', '''Medium''', '''Low''', or '''Never'''. Each player is limited to one High preference job. Some roles have limited player counts - for example, there is only one Captain. There is no limit on assistants, and it's a role that has no responsibilities, so it's ideal for getting to grips with the game. Some jobs that are critical to game progression are locked off until a certain amount of time has passed since your first login. Check the [[Job selection and assignment|job selection and assignment page]] for more info.|dropdown=true|collapsed=true|name=What does all the ignored stuff do?}}</div>
After that, press '''Done''', then, '''Save Setup'''. Then click on '''Game Preferences''' at the top of the character creation screen. The menu will change and have a big list of options.

Make sure all of the Special Role Settings are set to '''No''' (These control optional settings, like choosing if you'd like to roll for a traitor role - they assume you know how to play the game and are important to the round, so we want them off for now.) '''More importantly, change the Keybindings option to [[Keyboard_Shortcuts|"Hotkeys"]]'''. This guide will assume you're using this control scheme, as it provides quicker functions for actions than the default controls. Most of the options here are relatively self explanatory or irrelevant, so once you're done, click '''Save Setup''' one last time and close the window.
 
== Joining the Game ==

Now that you've created your character, you're ready to join the game. (You may want to continue to read the guide before jumping in.)

There's two possible menus here - the lobby screen will either display a list that has '''Join Game!''' or a '''Ready'''/'''Not Ready''' toggle.
<tabs>
<tab name="Join Game!">[[File:Job_select_screen.PNG|thumb|The choose profession window]] <div style="text-align: center;">If the window says '''Join Game!''', there's currently a round going on. This is most likely what you'll see. Click on the button, and a window will pop up asking you to choose a profession. The jobs available will vary, but for now, pick '''Assistant'''. (The numbers in the brackets next to the job title show the current number of players who have been assigned that job for the round, if there is a zero inside the brackets, no one has been assigned to that job for the round. When you click on the job you want, you'll be brought to the station via the [[Arrivals|arrival shuttle]]. You'll start out on a transit shuttle that will dock at the station in a few seconds - you'll also be strapped into a chair, so don't forget to unbuckle yourself. (You can do this by clicking the '''Resist''' button - don't worry if you aren't sure which button that is yet, as it's explained further down the guide.)</div></tab>
<tab name="Ready/Not Ready/Observe"><div style="text-align: center;">If the window has three buttons that say '''Ready''', '''Not Ready''', and '''Observe''', that means a round has not started yet. This is ideal, because you'll be playing the round from the beginning, when things are the going to be calm and allow you to get your bearings in a relatively safe environment. Toggle the button to '''Ready''', then wait for the game to begin. (You can see the time until the game begins on the '''Lobby''' tab, on the top right of the game window.) Pressing '''Observe''' will spawn you as a [[ghost]], which is essentially a spectator - you won't be able to spawn normally until the next round if you select this option!</div></tab>
</tabs>
== Interface 101 ==
=== Tabs ===
[[File:Status tab top.png|left|thumb|Status Tab.]]
Before you do anything else, take a look at the top right of the game window. You'll see some tabs labelled '''Status''', '''Lobby''', '''Admin''', '''IC''', '''Mentor,''' '''OOC''', '''Object''', and '''Preferences'''. The most important tabs are the Status and Admin tabs. If you're using internals (an oxygen tank and mask), the Status tab tells you the remaining air pressure - useful for avoiding death by suffocation. The Admin tab contains the '''Adminhelp''' button, used to contact admins directly if you have a question or believe someone is breaking the rules. The Mentor tab contains the '''Mentorhelp''' button, used to ask mentors questions, and the '''Request Mentor Assistance''' button, which gives any ghosted mentors the option to become an imaginary friend and help with anything you're confused about.
<div style="text-align: left; max-width: 800px;">{{#tag:tab|
; Status : Displays important info such as your ping, the current map, pressure remaining in airtanks, etc.
; Admin : Contains buttons that allow you if any admins are online, and most importantly, to send a message directly to the admins (the '''Adminhelp''' button). If no admins are online, the message will be forwarded to the admin IRC channel.
; IC : Stands for "In Character". Usually won't use this. (The '''Pray''' button allows you to send a message to any admins online in character - often used for "communicating with the gods". Another useful button is '''Rest''', which lets you go prone at will.)
; OOC : Stands for "Out of Character". Again, rarely needs to be used. Various functions that are related to the game, but not something your character does (eg. seeing the number of players online).
; Object : Never used. Contains buttons to manipulate objects (eg. drag/stop dragging an object), but there are [[Keyboard_Shortcuts|hotkeys]] to do these things much faster.
; Preferences : Self explanatory - contains various options you can toggle on and off.|dropdown=true|collapsed=true|name=Tab descriptions}}</div>
In the '''Status''' tab, take note of the map currently being played on the server. It'll be used later in the guide.

The biggest barrier to entry in Space Station 13 is the controls. The UI is, at a glance, complex, and the controls are unintuitive. Thankfully, once it clicks, you'll never have an issue with it again. '''Don't let it overwhelm you - after a round or two of practice, you should be fine.'''

The top right of the screen contains the action tabs mentioned previously, and the bottom right is the text log. This is where you can see what people are saying, what's happening around you, and chat such as OOC or adminhelps. The bar along the bottom of the screen is the input bar, but since we're on [[Keyboard_Shortcuts|Hotkey]] mode we won't need to use it. There's quite a few HUD elements on the main screen, so let's break them down into sections. '''Don't worry if you can't memorize what everything does at once''' - you can always come back to this guide.
<tabs>
<tab name="Hands">[[File:Hud-hands.gif]] One of the most important elements of the HUD. You have the ability to hold an item in each hand (unless an item takes up both hands, obviously). The square around one of the hands is the '''selected hand'''. If you have an '''empty''' selected hand, and click on an object, you'll pick it up/open it/use it. If '''an object is in your selected hand''' and you click on something, you'll use it on the item you're holding. (The way this works means that if you'd like to unequip your backpack, you need to click and drag the bag into your hand - if it was removed by clicking on it, you'd never be able to open the bag.)

'''If this seems confusing, don't worry - it'll be explained shortly.'''</tab>
<tab name="Inventory Buttons">These icons manage your inventory.

The backpack [[File:Hud-inventory.png]] icon can be toggled to show your worn equipment.

The belt [[File:Hud-Belt.png]], backpack [[File:Hud-Back.png]], and pocket [[File:Hud-Pocket.png]] icons are all storage locations.

The ID [[File:Hud-ID.png]] slot can hold your ID, or your PDA (which can hold your ID).</tab>
<tab name="Interact Commands">These buttons directly affect how you interact with objects.

The drop [[File:Hud-drop.png]] and throw [[File:Hud-throw.png]] icons do what the name implies. Dropping is self explanatory, but the throw button is a toggle - if it's on and you click somewhere, you'll throw the item in your hand at where you clicked. (You can also press R to enable throwing and Q to drop your held item.)

The pull [[File:Hud-pull.png]] icon only appears when dragging something, and can be pressed to stop dragging an object. [[Keyboard_Shortcuts|Hotkey]]: "del".

The internals [[File:Gmaskinternalsicon.gif]] icon can be clicked to enable/disable your internals (oxygen tank and breath mask).

The resist [[File:Hud-resist.png]] icon can be pressed to break out of grabs, restraints, and if you're on fire, is the "stop drop and roll" button. [[Keyboard_Shortcuts|Hotkey]]: "B".

The run/walk toggle [[File:Hud-walkrun.gif]] icon can be pressed to switch between running and walking. Running is faster, but walking has benefits, such as being able to walk over water without slipping - useful for when the janitor doesn't put wet floor signs down. [[Keyboard_Shortcuts|Hotkey]]: Hold "alt" to walk.

The body selector [[File:Hud-target.gif]] icon is used to choose which body part you want to target. This is used for both targeting specific sections to heal, or targeting specific sections when attacking someone. Click a limb to target it. (You can target individual arms, legs, the head, the upper torso, the groin, the eyes, or the mouth.) [[Keyboard_Shortcuts|Hotkeys]]: "numpad keys".

Last but not least is the intent selector [[File:Hud-intent.gif]] - this will be explained in detail later. It has four modes: '''Help''', '''Disarm''', '''Grab''', and '''Harm''', in clockwise order. [[Keyboard_Shortcuts|Hotkeys]]: "1-4".</tab>
<tab name="Other">The health [[File:Hud_100_percent_Health.gif]] icon and [[File:Healthdoll.gif]] doll change depending on how injured you are.

The crafting menu [[File:Craft.gif]] icon opens the crafting menu.

The speech bubble [[File:Talk_wheel.gif]] icon opens the languages menu. You won't need to use this for the tutorial.

The create area [[File:Area_edit.gif]] icon is used to create an "area", which is a more advanced topic. You won't need to worry about it for this tutorial.</tab>
<tab name="Alerts">These will only appear on the HUD if something is wrong.

[[File:Hud-oxy.gif]] '''Oxygen warning''' - The air you're breathing doesn't have enough oxygen.

[[File:Hud-pressure.gif]] '''Pressure warning''' - Pressure levels are too high (red) or too low (black). Low and high pressures can kill you.

[[File:tox_in_air.gif]] '''Toxin warning''' - You are breathing in toxic gases.

[[File:Hud-fire.png]] '''Fire warning''' - The air is hot enough to burn you.

[[File:Hud-freeze.gif]] '''Freeze warning''' - The air is cold enough to freeze you.

[[File:Hud-temp.gif]] '''Temperature warning''' - You're too cold or too hot.

[[File:Hud-hunger.gif]] '''Hunger warning''' - You're starting to get hungry. You cannot die from hunger, but the longer you go without food, the slower you will be able to run. You can also eat too much and become bloated.</tab>
</tabs>
== Controls ==
[[File:Hotkeys.png|thumb|500px|[[Keyboard_Shortcuts|Keybindings]] for the hotkey mode.]]
Don’t get scared by the hotkey image. It shows ''all'' the controls and their alternatives. This might seem like a lot, but don't worry, you'll only be using a few most of the time. The control are quite elegantly designed. There are exceptions, but for the most part you will be able to anything from surgery to nuclear science with the exact same controls.

The default control scheme is “hotkeys” set in the game preferences menu. In case it’s not working you will see the bottom-right textbox in a red color. Click anywhere in the game window and press '''Tab'''. The textbox should go white showing that you are in “hotkey” mode.
* Use the '''WASD''' keys to move around.
* Press the '''X''' key to swap your active hand. The hand system is explained below.
* Press the '''Q''' key to drop what you are currently holding in your hand on the ground.
* Press the '''T''' key to talk. Prefix what you say with a semicolon (;) to say it in the global radio channel. Use the '''M''' key for non-verbal actions like “smile” or “wave”. Use the '''O''' key for OOC chat.
* Use '''left click''' on a thing to interact with it. Interact means different things based on the thing you are clicking. Use '''right click''' for a context menu (mostly used for stacks of items).
* Press the '''Z''' key with an item in hand to “use” it.
* Use '''SHIFT + click''' on anything to examine it. Your new favorite button combo. It will describe what you are looking at. As a new player you will be using this ''very often''.
If you just want to just jump into a round immediately the above controls should be enough for your first round. Doing a task like asking someone where the drink vending machine is, buying and then drinking something.

If you are not as impatient skim the '''[[FullControls|full controls page here]]'''. You can also check out all the available [[Keyboard Shortcuts|hotkeys]].
== Gameplay Concepts ==

}}

Before getting into anything else, it's important to note that since SS13 is such an open ended game that has other people in it, when you get in game and try to follow the guide, things may go wrong - the station might have been almost entirely consumed by a singularity, a traitor could attack you with a powerful weapon, or something no one could have predicted will kill you. It's important to '''not let death get to you''' - Rule 10 exists for a reason! There are multiple ways you can be brought back into the game - don't get frustrated if something happens.

As a brand-new player, your first objective is simply joining the station as non-essential crew and attempting to survive, escaping via the evacuation shuttle or one of the pods located around the station. From there, you can branch out into more of the specific concepts that are often stumbling blocks for newer players, so let's address those first. (These are all in expandable boxes to save space, but it's not a bad idea to read them beforehand.)
=== The Hands System ===
If an item requires two hands to use, then the other hand slot will instead be labeled as “off-hand”. Why do I start by telling you this? Because only one hand can be selected at a time. Imagine yourself as a creature with one hand. You only sprout a second hand when you need to use two handed items.

Another time when you sprout an extra hand is to JUST hold an item. That is because your hands are also just a part of your inventory. However, think of them as an “active” part of your inventory. You place items in these “active” slots when you want to use them.

The bright box around one of your hands is the selected hand. Swap your selected hand with the '''X''' key. This is the hand that's used whenever you click on something. If it’s empty. Otherwise, you will use what you are holding in your hand on what you clicked on.

This can also cause problems with backpacks, boxes, and other containers. If you want to open a container, '''Alt + Click''' it. You can also pick it up, then switch hands and click on the container with an empty hand. Clicking on a container with an object will put it in the container. This also means that if you'd like to '''take your backpack off''', you need to click and drag the bag to an empty hand - a normal click just opens the equipped bag.

If you find this confusing, you should go check out the full controls page. It goes hand in hand (GET IT!?) with this explanation. If you still find it confusing, then maybe you should play your first round already because it really is not that complicated.
=== [[Intent|Intents]] ===
The intent selector has four modes: '''help''' [[File:Intent_Help.png]], '''disarm [[File:Intent_Disarm.png]]''', '''grab''' [[File:Intent_Grab.png]], and '''harm [[File:Intent_Harm.png]]'''. This system mostly controls how you interact with this your bare hands. You can learn more about these uses on [[Intent|the intents page]]. It's not, however, critical that you learn this right now. When it comes to using '''things''' this system is much simpler then it appears. Using a crowbar on someone will hit them '''regardless''' of intent. Most items work like that. Instead when it comes to '''things''' there are special use cases, for example:
* While doing surgery, if you are '''not''' on help [[File:Intent_Help.png]] intent, you will intentionally botch it.
* Clicking on something next to you with a gun will shot them point blank. If, however, you are on harm '''[[File:Intent_Harm.png]]''' intent you will hit them with the weapon instead.
* Using harm '''[[File:Intent_Harm.png]]''' intent on an airlock with a welder will weld it shut instead of repair it.
You don't need to know these things know. It's just so you understand the types of specific thing you will use intents for. These exceptions are not important to memorize. The only intent related thing I want you to know for now is that clicking on people with and empty hand with help [[File:Intent_Help.png]] intent will hug them.
=== Damage ===
There are a few different damage types in SS13. If you take enough damage, you'll fall unconscious into critical condition, better known as '''Crit'''. If left untreated in this state, you'll slowly suffocate until you die.

'''[[Guide_to_medicine#Brute|Brute]]''' damage is received from physical attacks - punches, kicks, toolboxes, hatchets - if someone is hitting you over the head with it, it does Brute damage.

'''[[Guide_to_medicine#Burns|Burn]]''' damage is received from fire or exposure to the vacuum of space.

'''[[Guide_to_medicine#Toxins|Toxin]]''' damage is received from breathing in poison gases, attacks from enemies like giant spiders, ingesting poison, drinking too much booze, or generally having any harmful chemical in your blood.

'''[[Guide_to_medicine#Suffocation|Oxygen]]''' damage is received from being unable to breathe, or while in critical condition. It goes down over time by itself if you're not in crit.

'''[[Guide_to_medicine#Brain_damage|Brain]]''' damage is reveived from being [[Guide_to_genetics#Cloning|cloned]] or [[Guide_to_chemistry#Methamphetamine|other things]]. Can randomly cause [[Guide_to_Traumas|brain traumas]]. Those suffering from brain damage usually need [[Guide_to_chemistry#Mannitol|chemicals]] to cure their condition.

'''[[Guide_to_medicine#Cellular_damage|Cellular]]''' damage is reveived from being [[Guide_to_genetics#Cloning|cloned]] or from being fed on by a [[Slime|slime]]. Can be cured with [[Guide_to_medicine#Cryogenics_Tube|cryo]] treatment.

Brute and Burn damage are applied to specific limbs. If you've been smacked in the head with a toolbox a few times, you'll have to aim at your head (with numpad keys) when you use a bruise pack. Most [[Guide_to_chemistry#Medicines|medicines]] can be ingested to heal damage anywhere on your body. If you take enough damage to one limb, you can be '''dismembered'''. You will need [[Surgery#Prosthetic_Replacement|surgery]] to replace lost limbs.
=== Combat ===
Combat in SS13 is very heavily focused on '''who falls over first'''. If you're prone, you've likely lost. This means items like [[General_items#Soap|soap]] [[File:Soaps.gif]] or [[Security_items#Disabler|disablers]] [[File:ModernDisabler.png]] are extremely useful.

If you get into a fight, consider your options - it may be best to try and simply run away. If you think you can disarm your opponent, you could turn the tables by taking their weapon. Combat in SS13 is fast paced and revolves around a lot of back and forth swipes, almost like a strange joust between 2D spacemen.

Getting better at combat in SS13 requires practice - there's only so much you can be taught. The rest is learning how to create and take advantage of opportunities. Hopefully, you won't have to get into many fights as you start out.

To learn more about combat and how to win fights, see the [[Guide_to_Combat|Guide to Combat]].
=== Ghosts ===
If you end up dying, don't worry, there's a few ways to go from there.

If you try to move, you'll '''[[ghost]]''' out of your corpse. This is essentially spectator mode - you can communicate with other dead players (and talking about the round out of character is okay in this chat) by talking normally and are able to fly around the entire map. (Note that while it's okay to talk about the round in deadchat, if you're revived, '''you cannot use any information gained while dead'''. Anything you saw while alive is fair game.)

If you die, you can be [[Cloning|cloned]], revived via [[defibrillator]], turned into a [[podperson]], have your brain removed and put into a [[cyborg]], or more. There are '''ghost roles''' that can be played by dead players - some areas have objects that, when clicked on as a ghost, will spawn you as a new character. (You're a new character, so don't use any information from your past life.) There may even be alerts that pop up while you're dead, asking if you'd like to take control of a [[xenomorph]], a [[morph]], or almost anything else. These are often provided by admins, but can occasionally happen via random event. '''Please note that if you take on a ghost role you CANNOT be cloned or return to your original body!'''

}}

Now that we've gone over the interface and some more important game concepts, let's jump into the game. If you join a game in progress, you'll spawn on the [[Arrivals|arrival shuttle]]. (You'll start buckled onto a chair as the shuttle docks with the station - press the '''Resist''' button on the HUD or the picture of the chair to unbuckle yourself). Otherwise, you'll be spawned in a random, public area of the station.

BeeStation has multiple maps that the server will occasionally change to. The "standard" station layout is [[BoxStation|Box Station]], but the game can also take place on [[MetaStation|Meta Station]], [[PubbyStation|Pubby Station]], [[DeltaStation|Delta Station]], or [[CorgStation|Corg Station]]. You can visit the individual wiki pages to see the layout of a specific map.

Each station has a unique layout, so you'll likely want to use these maps to get your bearings.
* "BoxStation" [https://affectedarc07.github.io/SS13WebMap/BeeStation/BoxStation/ Click here for a map of BoxStation.] Visit [[BoxStation|the wiki page for BoxStation]] for more details.
* "MetaStation" [https://affectedarc07.github.io/SS13WebMap/BeeStation/MetaStation/ Click here for a map of MetaStation.] Visit [[MetaStation|the wiki page for MetaStation]] for more details.

Since you've chosen [[Assistant]] as your role, you'll have no responsibilities. This means you can safely attempt to get your bearings without fear of someone telling you that you need to be doing something. This guide will list a few tasks for you to perform so you can put the concepts discussed above into practice. It might be awkward at first, but it doesn't take much time to get to grips with how to control your character.

Eventualy, once you're confident in the controls, why not consider doing some [[How to Roleplay|roleplaying]]? Theres also [[How to Roleplay|a guide]] to help with that.
== What to do if There's a Breach ==
If you hear the telltale sound of air being sucked out of a room or see a hole in the station, something's gone wrong and caused a breach. It's wise to avoid being exposed to the vacuum of space for too long, but if you need to pass by, you can put '''internals''' on.

When you spawn, inside your backpack is an emergency kit with a [[Emergency Oxygen Tank|small tank of O2]], a [[Breath Mask|breath mask]], and an [[Epipen|epipen]] to stabilize someone who's in crit.
# Using an empty hand, click on your backpack, then click + drag the box inside to your character's sprite. This will open the box.
# Take the breath mask and put it on your mask [[File:Hud-Mask.png]] slot (press the equipment [[File:Hud-inventory.png]] icon to see it).
# Take the O2 tank and put it in one of your pockets. This leaves your hands free for other tasks.
# Press the internals [[File:Gmaskinternalsicon.gif]] icon to turn on your air supply.

This will keep you breathing clean air - make sure to avoid exposure to a vacuum for too long, and watch your air tank's supply in the Status bar!

|[[File:Backpack.png]]'''1. Inventory Management:'''
:The inventory system is a little unintuitive at first, but once you figure it out, it'll stay with you.
:Items in the game have 4 different "weight classes," tiny, small, normal, and bulky. These weight classes determine in which storage slots it can fit in, and what they can't fit in.
:If you are wearing a jumpsuit, the two item storage slots to the rightmost of your screen are your pockets. These pockets can only store tiny items.
:Your hands are where you can grab items and interact with them.
:Your back is where you should have your backpack. Your backpack is your main storage space, but it can only fit a limited amount of items. You can stuff tiny, small, and normal classed items into your backpack. However, normal classed items will take up more storage space than a tiny classed item.
:Your belt is where you store your toolbelt, (if you are an [[engineer]]), your gun, or a variety of other different items, which range from swords to defibrillators.
:The items which you can fit in your suit storage (on the leftmost of your screen, below your gloves) depend on the uniform you are wearing. For example, a hardsuit would allow you to fit an oxygen tank in there, whilst an armor vest would allow you to fit a taser in there.

|[[File:Nuvola apps important.svg|25px]]'''2. Hazards:'''
:<s>A good start to reacting against someone beating your teeth in is by screaming ";HELP <LOCATION NAME> <GUY BEATING YOU UP> IS A [[Jobs#Antagonists|<TRAITOR/LING/WHATEVER>]]. This allows security to flag that guy down as arrest, which means that if a security officer encounters that person again, they see an arrest overlay.</s>
:Try running away instead of fighting unless you are a security officer, remember 99% of the time you aren't a trained combatant and should try contacting security instead of just screaming that theres an antagonist in your exact location

:[[Random events#Radiation Storm|Radiation Storm:]] A message stating '''''"High levels of radiation detected near the station. Maintenance is best shielded from radiation."''''' will broadcast. Normally, if the heads are competent, a station-wide emergency will then be declared opening up maintenance even if you don't have access. All you have to do now is mill in maintenance until the radiation storm passes over.
:If there's cries of revolutionaries or a cult, [[Blood Cult|blood]] or [[Clockwork Cult|otherwise]] over the radio, it's probably in your best interests to secure a pair of sunglasses and head towards security to get implanted (or baton "unconverted"). It's not unknown for security to become particularly trigger-happy towards unimplanted crewmembers.

== What Jobs to Take After Your First Round ==
The best beginner jobs are ones where no one is going to come to you asking for something you don't really understand. assistant is the best because no one expects anything at all from you. You are free to explore and play with the controls. However once you get a grip on the controls is recommended to move to a job where still no one expects anything, but that have a designated objective. The recommended assistant ''plus'' roles are:
* [[Janitor]]: People will expect nothing from you except maybe that you clean the floor.
* [[Curator]]: The library is practically abandoned. Play with board games and painting. Organize books. Get fun loot from your curator beacon.
* [[Cargo Technician|Cargo Tech]]: Move crates until you die. It is said that all SS13 journeys begin and end in cargo. This is because cargo is of vital importance to several game modes. As a CT you will get to see the flow of these rounds first hand. However, your job will still remain to be just moving crates.
After that it's time to move on to some real roles. Funnily enough, the best way to learn these roles is to sign up as an assistant again. You are going to use this role as intended and actually assist some departments. Going to the [[Head of Personnel|HoP]] or whatever place you want to learn about and asking nicely for someone to teach you is a very effective way to learn. The [[Head of Personnel|HoP]] can even give you custom job titles like "medical intern" or "brig receptionist". Job that are good for this are: [[Medical Doctor]], [[Scientist]], [[Station Engineer]]... This is also the best way to dip your toes safely into being a [[Security Officer]]. Be careful, because it's very easy to play security poorly, and [[Shitcurity|letting the power get to your head is a bad idea]].

Avoid joke roles such as the [[Clown]] or [[Mime]] at first. Many players find harassing the on board entertainment much more fun than any jokes the clown might otherwise have.

After some time, when you're confident enough in your combat abilities, you should enable antagonists within your game preferences, so that you can roll for antag when the shift starts. A good half of the game is arguably being an antag and beating everyone up. Don't be scared that you will be a bad antag. Due to the fact that you can't predict what or when it will happen everyone was a painfully obvious antag at one point. It's just how the game works. You should however avoid team antag roles. [[Blood Cult|Blood cult]], blood brothers, [[Revolutionary|revolutions]], [[Clockwork Cult|clock cultists]], [[Nuclear Operative|nuclear operatives]], [[Xenomorph|xenomoprhs]]... The most common and "safe" antag options to dip you toes in are [[Traitor]] and [[Changeling]].

Wrill: typo fix

This guide is designed for ease of use for first time players, so non-essential information is segregated to expandable text boxes. Reading these isn't necessary to get into the game, but it's recommended.

'''Space Station 13''' is a multiplayer sandbox that has a heavy focus on player interaction. In the year 2557, the megacorporation Nanotrasen has employed you as a staff member onboard their latest state of the art research station. Nanotrasen claims to be researching plasma, a mysterious new substance, but rumors are abound that the station is little more than a twisted social experiment...

At the start of each round, each player is assigned a [[Jobs|role]] onboard the station. There are many [[Jobs|jobs]], such as the [[scientist]] performing [[Guide_to_Research_and_Development|research and development]] of new technologies, the [[Medical_Doctor|medical doctor]] trying to keep people alive, or the simple [[janitor]]. There are many different ways to play. The game also randomly chooses a [[Game Mode|a round type]], ranging from [[Nuclear Operative|an all out assault on the station by nuclear operatives]], a [[Blood Cult|sinister cult sacrificing crewmembers to summon their god]], or more commonly, [[Traitor|good ol' fashioned traitors]]. Every round on Space Station 13 is different.
= Before Playing =

'''It's important to [[https://beestation13.com/rules read the rules]] before connecting for the first time.''' Some common new player mistakes to avoid include:
* Being violent towards other crew members without any reason. This is only okay if you're an [[Terminology#Antag|antagonist]], and you will be notified if you're chosen to be one. If they grab you by your butt and try to [[Terminology#Spacing|space]] you, feel free to [[Terminology#Robust/Robusting|robust]] them. (Telling the admins you were "roleplaying an insane person" will get a couple laughs, but you'll still get banned.)
*You can press the mentorhelp button (found in the "MENTOR" tab above the chat) at any time to send a message directly to the mentor team if you have any questions.
One last point: Please, '''remember the human'''. SS13 can be highly frustrating, you will be unceremoniously killed, griefed, or die to some galactic space-bug shortly before executing your master plan. Everyone is here to play a game they enjoy, so keep that in mind before you bash someone's brain in with a toolbox because they took your [[Engineering_items#Multitool|multitool]].

[[File:Newplayeroptions.png|left|thumb|The New Player Options menu]] Once you've connected to a server, you'll be greeted by a small popup window labelled '''New Player Options'''.
If this is your first time playing on BeeStation, you'll need to create a character. Click on the '''Setup Character''' button, and the character creation menu will open.
[[File:Character_settings.PNG|thumb|The character setup screen]]
You don't need to worry about Special Names, Custom job preferences, Uplink Spawn Location, or Species - for now, '''make sure you're a human''', and edit your appearance as you see fit. There's no difference between clothing/backpack options other than appearance, so pick what you think looks best.
<div style="text-align: left; max-width: 800px;">{{#tag:tab|Special names are names specific to certain roles - for example, if you're the clown, you may want a funny name instead of your regular one. The name policy is relaxed on these, so if you have a funny idea for a name, go nuts (within reason - this is at admin discretion). The only custom job preference is specific to security officers, and allows you to choose the department you'd like to monitor. The Uplink spawn location is specific to the [[traitor]] role, and determines the item you can access your [[uplink]] from, where you can purchase different tools to accomplish your goals. The various species options have some effects on gameplay - you can browse the articles for [[lizardmen|lizards]], [[flypeople]], and [[plasmamen]] for more info.|dropdown=true|collapsed=true|name=What does all the ignored stuff do?}}</div>

Once you've finished editing your appearance, be sure to press the '''Save Setup''' button at the bottom of the window. Next, press the '''Set Occupation Preferences''' button.

}}

[[File:New_Occupation_screen.JPG|thumb|left|The occupation preferences window]]
[[File:Game_prefences_Screen.PNG|thumb|The game preferences window]]
If the button next to Assistant is a red '''NO''', click it once so that it says '''YES''' in green text. This sets your job to be assistant, no matter what.
<div style="text-align: left; max-width: 800px;">{{#tag:tab|When the game begins, the server checks each players occupation preferences, and assigns jobs accordingly. You can pick '''High''', '''Medium''', '''Low''', or '''Never'''. Each player is limited to one High preference job. Some roles have limited player counts - for example, there is only one Captain. There is no limit on assistants, and it's a role that has no responsibilities, so it's ideal for getting to grips with the game. Some jobs that are critical to game progression are locked off until a certain amount of time has passed since your first login. Check the [[Job selection and assignment|job selection and assignment page]] for more info.|dropdown=true|collapsed=true|name=What does all the ignored stuff do?}}</div>
After that, press '''Done''', then, '''Save Setup'''. Then click on '''Game Preferences''' at the top of the character creation screen. The menu will change and have a big list of options.

Make sure all of the Special Role Settings are set to '''No''' (These control optional settings, like choosing if you'd like to roll for a traitor role - they assume you know how to play the game and are important to the round, so we want them off for now.) '''More importantly, change the Keybindings option to [[Keyboard_Shortcuts|"Hotkeys"]]'''. This guide will assume you're using this control scheme, as it provides quicker functions for actions than the default controls. Most of the options here are relatively self explanatory or irrelevant, so once you're done, click '''Save Setup''' one last time and close the window.
 
== Joining the Game ==

Now that you've created your character, you're ready to join the game. (You may want to continue to read the guide before jumping in.)

There's two possible menus here - the lobby screen will either display a list that has '''Join Game!''' or a '''Ready'''/'''Not Ready''' toggle.
<tabs>
<tab name="Join Game!">[[File:Job_select_screen.PNG|thumb|The choose profession window]] <div style="text-align: center;">If the window says '''Join Game!''', there's currently a round going on. This is most likely what you'll see. Click on the button, and a window will pop up asking you to choose a profession. The jobs available will vary, but for now, pick '''Assistant'''. (The numbers in the brackets next to the job title show the current number of players who have been assigned that job for the round, if there is a zero inside the brackets, no one has been assigned to that job for the round. When you click on the job you want, you'll be brought to the station via the [[Arrivals|arrival shuttle]]. You'll start out on a transit shuttle that will dock at the station in a few seconds - you'll also be strapped into a chair, so don't forget to unbuckle yourself. (You can do this by clicking the '''Resist''' button - don't worry if you aren't sure which button that is yet, as it's explained further down the guide.)</div></tab>
<tab name="Ready/Not Ready/Observe"><div style="text-align: center;">If the window has three buttons that say '''Ready''', '''Not Ready''', and '''Observe''', that means a round has not started yet. This is ideal, because you'll be playing the round from the beginning, when things are the going to be calm and allow you to get your bearings in a relatively safe environment. Toggle the button to '''Ready''', then wait for the game to begin. (You can see the time until the game begins on the '''Lobby''' tab, on the top right of the game window.) Pressing '''Observe''' will spawn you as a [[ghost]], which is essentially a spectator - you won't be able to spawn normally until the next round if you select this option!</div></tab>
</tabs>
== Interface 101 ==
=== Tabs ===
[[File:Status tab top.png|left|thumb|Status Tab.]]
Before you do anything else, take a look at the top right of the game window. You'll see some tabs labelled '''Status''', '''Lobby''', '''Admin''', '''IC''', '''OOC''', '''Object''', and '''Preferences'''. The most important tabs are the Status and Admin tabs. If you're using internals (an oxygen tank and mask), the Status tab tells you the remaining air pressure - useful for avoiding death by suffocation. The Admin tab contains the '''Adminhelp''' button, used to contact admins directly if you have a question or believe someone is breaking the rules.
<div style="text-align: left; max-width: 800px;">{{#tag:tab|
; Status : Displays important info such as your ping, the current map, pressure remaining in airtanks, etc.
; Admin : Contains buttons that allow you if any admins are online, and most importantly, to send a message directly to the admins (the '''Adminhelp''' button). If no admins are online, the message will be forwarded to the admin IRC channel.
; IC : Stands for "In Character". Usually won't use this. (The '''Pray''' button allows you to send a message to any admins online in character - often used for "communicating with the gods". Another useful button is '''Rest''', which lets you go prone at will.)
; OOC : Stands for "Out of Character". Again, rarely needs to be used. Various functions that are related to the game, but not something your character does (eg. seeing the number of players online).
; Object : Never used. Contains buttons to manipulate objects (eg. drag/stop dragging an object), but there are [[Keyboard_Shortcuts|hotkeys]] to do these things much faster.
; Preferences : Self explanatory - contains various options you can toggle on and off.|dropdown=true|collapsed=true|name=Tab descriptions}}</div>
In the '''Status''' tab, take note of the map currently being played on the server. It'll be used later in the guide.

The biggest barrier to entry in Space Station 13 is the controls. The UI is, at a glance, complex, and the controls are unintuitive. Thankfully, once it clicks, you'll never have an issue with it again. '''Don't let it overwhelm you - after a round or two of practice, you should be fine.'''

The top right of the screen contains the action tabs mentioned previously, and the bottom right is the text log. This is where you can see what people are saying, what's happening around you, and chat such as OOC or adminhelps. The bar along the bottom of the screen is the input bar, but since we're on [[Keyboard_Shortcuts|Hotkey]] mode we won't need to use it. There's quite a few HUD elements on the main screen, so let's break them down into sections. '''Don't worry if you can't memorize what everything does at once''' - you can always come back to this guide.
<tabs>
<tab name="Hands">[[File:Hud-hands.gif]] One of the most important elements of the HUD. You have the ability to hold an item in each hand (unless an item takes up both hands, obviously). The square around one of the hands is the '''selected hand'''. If you have an '''empty''' selected hand, and click on an object, you'll pick it up/open it/use it. If '''an object is in your selected hand''' and you click on something, you'll use it on the item you're holding. (The way this works means that if you'd like to unequip your backpack, you need to click and drag the bag into your hand - if it was removed by clicking on it, you'd never be able to open the bag.)

'''If this seems confusing, don't worry - it'll be explained shortly.'''</tab>
<tab name="Inventory Buttons">These icons manage your inventory.

The backpack [[File:Hud-inventory.png]] icon can be toggled to show your worn equipment.

The belt [[File:Hud-Belt.png]], backpack [[File:Hud-Back.png]], and pocket [[File:Hud-Pocket.png]] icons are all storage locations.

The ID [[File:Hud-ID.png]] slot can hold your ID, or your PDA (which can hold your ID).</tab>
<tab name="Interact Commands">These buttons directly affect how you interact with objects.

The drop [[File:Hud-drop.png]] and throw [[File:Hud-throw.png]] icons do what the name implies. Dropping is self explanatory, but the throw button is a toggle - if it's on and you click somewhere, you'll throw the item in your hand at where you clicked. (You can also press R to enable throwing and Q to drop your held item.)

The pull [[File:Hud-pull.png]] icon only appears when dragging something, and can be pressed to stop dragging an object. [[Keyboard_Shortcuts|Hotkey]]: "del".

The internals [[File:Gmaskinternalsicon.gif]] icon can be clicked to enable/disable your internals (oxygen tank and breath mask).

The resist [[File:Hud-resist.png]] icon can be pressed to break out of grabs, restraints, and if you're on fire, is the "stop drop and roll" button. [[Keyboard_Shortcuts|Hotkey]]: "B".

The run/walk toggle [[File:Hud-walkrun.gif]] icon can be pressed to switch between running and walking. Running is faster, but walking has benefits, such as being able to walk over water without slipping - useful for when the janitor doesn't put wet floor signs down. [[Keyboard_Shortcuts|Hotkey]]: Hold "alt" to walk.

The body selector [[File:Hud-target.gif]] icon is used to choose which body part you want to target. This is used for both targeting specific sections to heal, or targeting specific sections when attacking someone. Click a limb to target it. (You can target individual arms, legs, the head, the upper torso, the groin, the eyes, or the mouth.) [[Keyboard_Shortcuts|Hotkeys]]: "numpad keys".

Last but not least is the intent selector [[File:Hud-intent.gif]] - this will be explained in detail later. It has four modes: '''Help''', '''Disarm''', '''Grab''', and '''Harm''', in clockwise order. [[Keyboard_Shortcuts|Hotkeys]]: "1-4".</tab>
<tab name="Other">The health [[File:Hud_100_percent_Health.gif]] icon and [[File:Healthdoll.gif]] doll change depending on how injured you are.

The crafting menu [[File:Craft.gif]] icon opens the crafting menu.

The speech bubble [[File:Talk_wheel.gif]] icon opens the languages menu. You won't need to use this for the tutorial.

The create area [[File:Area_edit.gif]] icon is used to create an "area", which is a more advanced topic. You won't need to worry about it for this tutorial.</tab>
<tab name="Alerts">These will only appear on the HUD if something is wrong.

[[File:Hud-oxy.gif]] '''Oxygen warning''' - The air you're breathing doesn't have enough oxygen.

[[File:Hud-pressure.gif]] '''Pressure warning''' - Pressure levels are too high (red) or too low (black). Low and high pressures can kill you.

[[File:tox_in_air.gif]] '''Toxin warning''' - You are breathing in toxic gases.

[[File:Hud-fire.png]] '''Fire warning''' - The air is hot enough to burn you.

[[File:Hud-freeze.gif]] '''Freeze warning''' - The air is cold enough to freeze you.

[[File:Hud-temp.gif]] '''Temperature warning''' - You're too cold or too hot.

[[File:Hud-hunger.gif]] '''Hunger warning''' - You're starting to get hungry. You cannot die from hunger, but the longer you go without food, the slower you will be able to run. You can also eat too much and become bloated.</tab>
</tabs>
== Controls ==
[[File:Hotkeys.png|thumb|500px|[[Keyboard_Shortcuts|Keybindings]] for the hotkey mode.]]
Don’t get scared by the hotkey image. It shows ''all'' the controls and their alternatives. This might seem like a lot, but don't worry, you'll only be using a few most of the time. The control are quite elegantly designed. There are exceptions, but for the most part you will be able to anything from surgery to nuclear science with the exact same controls.

The default control scheme is “hotkeys” set in the game preferences menu. In case it’s not working you will see the bottom-right textbox in a red color. Click anywhere in the game window and press '''Tab'''. The textbox should go white showing that you are in “hotkey” mode.
* Use the '''WASD''' keys to move around.
* Press the '''X''' key to swap your active hand. The hand system is explained below.
* Press the '''Q''' key to drop what you are currently holding in your hand on the ground.
* Press the '''T''' key to talk. Prefix what you say with a semicolon (;) to say it in the global radio channel. Use the '''M''' key for non-verbal actions like “smile” or “wave”. Use the '''O''' key for OOC chat.
* Use '''left click''' on a thing to interact with it. Interact means different things based on the thing you are clicking. Use '''right click''' for a context menu (mostly used for stacks of items).
* Press the '''Z''' key with an item in hand to “use” it.
* Use '''SHIFT + click''' on anything to examine it. Your new favorite button combo. It will describe what you are looking at. As a new player you will be using this ''very often''.
If you just want to just jump into a round immediately the above controls should be enough for your first round. Doing a task like asking someone where the drink vending machine is, buying and then drinking something.

If you are not as impatient skim the '''[[FullControls|full controls page here]]'''. You can also check out all the available [[Keyboard Shortcuts|hotkeys]].
== Gameplay Concepts ==

}}

Before getting into anything else, it's important to note that since SS13 is such an open ended game that has other people in it, when you get in game and try to follow the guide, things may go wrong - the station might have been almost entirely consumed by a singularity, a traitor could attack you with a powerful weapon, or something no one could have predicted will kill you. It's important to '''not let death get to you''' - Rule 10 exists for a reason! There are multiple ways you can be brought back into the game - don't get frustrated if something happens.

As a brand-new player, your first objective is simply joining the station as non-essential crew and attempting to survive, escaping via the evacuation shuttle or one of the pods located around the station. From there, you can branch out into more of the specific concepts that are often stumbling blocks for newer players, so let's address those first. (These are all in expandable boxes to save space, but it's not a bad idea to read them beforehand.)
=== The Hands System ===
If an item requires two hands to use, then the other hand slot will instead be labeled as “off-hand”. Why do I start by telling you this? Because only one hand can be selected at a time. Imagine yourself as a creature with one hand. You only sprout a second hand when you need to use two handed items.

Another time when you sprout an extra hand is to JUST hold an item. That is because your hands are also just a part of your inventory. However, think of them as an “active” part of your inventory. You place items in these “active” slots when you want to use them.

The bright box around one of your hands is the selected hand. Swap your selected hand with the '''X''' key. This is the hand that's used whenever you click on something. If it’s empty. Otherwise, you will use what you are holding in your hand on what you clicked on.

This can also cause problems with backpacks, boxes, and other containers. If you want to open a container, '''Alt + Click''' it. You can also pick it up, then switch hands and click on the container with an empty hand. Clicking on a container with an object will put it in the container. This also means that if you'd like to '''take your backpack off''', you need to click and drag the bag to an empty hand - a normal click just opens the equipped bag.

If you find this confusing, you should go check out the full controls page. It goes hand in hand (GET IT!?) with this explanation. If you still find it confusing, then maybe you should play your first round already because it really is not that complicated.
=== [[Intent|Intents]] ===
The intent selector has four modes: '''help''' [[File:Intent_Help.png]], '''disarm [[File:Intent_Disarm.png]]''', '''grab''' [[File:Intent_Grab.png]], and '''harm [[File:Intent_Harm.png]]'''. This system mostly controls how you interact with this your bare hands. You can learn more about these uses on [[Intent|the intents page]]. It's not, however, critical that you learn this right now. When it comes to using '''things''' this system is much simpler then it appears. Using a crowbar on someone will hit them '''regardless''' of intent. Most items work like that. Instead when it comes to '''things''' there are special use cases, for example:
* While doing surgery, if you are '''not''' on help [[File:Intent_Help.png]] intent, you will intentionally botch it.
* Clicking on something next to you with a gun will shot them point blank. If, however, you are on harm '''[[File:Intent_Harm.png]]''' intent you will hit them with the weapon instead.
* Using harm '''[[File:Intent_Harm.png]]''' intent on an airlock with a welder will weld it shut instead of repair it.
You don't need to know these things know. It's just so you understand the types of specific thing you will use intents for. These exceptions are not important to memorize. The only intent related thing I want you to know for now is that clicking on people with and empty hand with help [[File:Intent_Help.png]] intent will hug them.
=== Damage ===
There are a few different damage types in SS13. If you take enough damage, you'll fall unconscious into critical condition, better known as '''Crit'''. If left untreated in this state, you'll slowly suffocate until you die.

'''[[Guide_to_medicine#Brute|Brute]]''' damage is received from physical attacks - punches, kicks, toolboxes, hatchets - if someone is hitting you over the head with it, it does Brute damage.

'''[[Guide_to_medicine#Burns|Burn]]''' damage is received from fire or exposure to the vacuum of space.

'''[[Guide_to_medicine#Toxins|Toxin]]''' damage is received from breathing in poison gases, attacks from enemies like giant spiders, ingesting poison, drinking too much booze, or generally having any harmful chemical in your blood.

'''[[Guide_to_medicine#Suffocation|Oxygen]]''' damage is received from being unable to breathe, or while in critical condition. It goes down over time by itself if you're not in crit.

'''[[Guide_to_medicine#Brain_damage|Brain]]''' damage is reveived from being [[Guide_to_genetics#Cloning|cloned]] or [[Guide_to_chemistry#Methamphetamine|other things]]. Can randomly cause [[Guide_to_Traumas|brain traumas]]. Those suffering from brain damage usually need [[Guide_to_chemistry#Mannitol|chemicals]] to cure their condition.

'''[[Guide_to_medicine#Cellular_damage|Cellular]]''' damage is reveived from being [[Guide_to_genetics#Cloning|cloned]] or from being fed on by a [[Slime|slime]]. Can be cured with [[Guide_to_medicine#Cryogenics_Tube|cryo]] treatment.

Brute and Burn damage are applied to specific limbs. If you've been smacked in the head with a toolbox a few times, you'll have to aim at your head (with numpad keys) when you use a bruise pack. Most [[Guide_to_chemistry#Medicines|medicines]] can be ingested to heal damage anywhere on your body. If you take enough damage to one limb, you can be '''dismembered'''. You will need [[Surgery#Prosthetic_Replacement|surgery]] to replace lost limbs.
=== Combat ===
Combat in SS13 is very heavily focused on '''who falls over first'''. If you're prone, you've likely lost. This means items like [[General_items#Soap|soap]] [[File:Soaps.gif]] or [[Security_items#Disabler|disablers]] [[File:ModernDisabler.png]] are extremely useful.

If you get into a fight, consider your options - it may be best to try and simply run away. If you think you can disarm your opponent, you could turn the tables by taking their weapon. Combat in SS13 is fast paced and revolves around a lot of back and forth swipes, almost like a strange joust between 2D spacemen.

Getting better at combat in SS13 requires practice - there's only so much you can be taught. The rest is learning how to create and take advantage of opportunities. Hopefully, you won't have to get into many fights as you start out.

To learn more about combat and how to win fights, see the [[Guide_to_Combat|Guide to Combat]].
=== Ghosts ===
If you end up dying, don't worry, there's a few ways to go from there.

If you try to move, you'll '''[[ghost]]''' out of your corpse. This is essentially spectator mode - you can communicate with other dead players (and talking about the round out of character is okay in this chat) by talking normally and are able to fly around the entire map. (Note that while it's okay to talk about the round in deadchat, if you're revived, '''you cannot use any information gained while dead'''. Anything you saw while alive is fair game.)

If you die, you can be [[Cloning|cloned]], revived via [[defibrillator]], turned into a [[podperson]], have your brain removed and put into a [[cyborg]], or more. There are '''ghost roles''' that can be played by dead players - some areas have objects that, when clicked on as a ghost, will spawn you as a new character. (You're a new character, so don't use any information from your past life.) There may even be alerts that pop up while you're dead, asking if you'd like to take control of a [[xenomorph]], a [[morph]], or almost anything else. These are often provided by admins, but can occasionally happen via random event. '''Please note that if you take on a ghost role you CANNOT be cloned or return to your original body!'''

}}

Now that we've gone over the interface and some more important game concepts, let's jump into the game. If you join a game in progress, you'll spawn on the [[Arrivals|arrival shuttle]]. (You'll start buckled onto a chair as the shuttle docks with the station - press the '''Resist''' button on the HUD or the picture of the chair to unbuckle yourself). Otherwise, you'll be spawned in a random, public area of the station.

BeeStation has multiple maps that the server will occasionally change to. The "standard" station layout is [[BoxStation|Box Station]], but the game can also take place on [[MetaStation|Meta Station]], [[PubbyStation|Pubby Station]], [[DeltaStation|Delta Station]], or [[CorgStation|Corg Station]]. You can visit the individual wiki pages to see the layout of a specific map.

Each station has a unique layout, so you'll likely want to use these maps to get your bearings.
* "BoxStation" [https://affectedarc07.github.io/SS13WebMap/BeeStation/BoxStation/ Click here for a map of BoxStation.] Visit [[BoxStation|the wiki page for BoxStation]] for more details.
* "MetaStation" [https://affectedarc07.github.io/SS13WebMap/BeeStation/MetaStation/ Click here for a map of MetaStation.] Visit [[MetaStation|the wiki page for MetaStation]] for more details.

Since you've chosen [[Assistant]] as your role, you'll have no responsibilities. This means you can safely attempt to get your bearings without fear of someone telling you that you need to be doing something. This guide will list a few tasks for you to perform so you can put the concepts discussed above into practice. It might be awkward at first, but it doesn't take much time to get to grips with how to control your character.

Eventualy, once you're confident in the controls, why not consider doing some [[How to Roleplay|roleplaying]]? Theres also [[How to Roleplay|a guide]] to help with that.
== What to do if There's a Breach ==
If you hear the telltale sound of air being sucked out of a room or see a hole in the station, something's gone wrong and caused a breach. It's wise to avoid being exposed to the vacuum of space for too long, but if you need to pass by, you can put '''internals''' on.

When you spawn, inside your backpack is an emergency kit with a [[Emergency Oxygen Tank|small tank of O2]], a [[Breath Mask|breath mask]], and an [[Epipen|epipen]] to stabilize someone who's in crit.
# Using an empty hand, click on your backpack, then click + drag the box inside to your character's sprite. This will open the box.
# Take the breath mask and put it on your mask [[File:Hud-Mask.png]] slot (press the equipment [[File:Hud-inventory.png]] icon to see it).
# Take the O2 tank and put it in one of your pockets. This leaves your hands free for other tasks.
# Press the internals [[File:Gmaskinternalsicon.gif]] icon to turn on your air supply.

This will keep you breathing clean air - make sure to avoid exposure to a vacuum for too long, and watch your air tank's supply in the Status bar!

|[[File:Backpack.png]]'''1. Inventory Management:'''
:The inventory system is a little unintuitive at first, but once you figure it out, it'll stay with you.
:Items in the game have 4 different "weight classes," tiny, small, normal, and bulky. These weight classes determine in which storage slots it can fit in, and what they can't fit in.
:If you are wearing a jumpsuit, the two item storage slots to the rightmost of your screen are your pockets. These pockets can only store tiny items.
:Your hands are where you can grab items and interact with them.
:Your back is where you should have your backpack. Your backpack is your main storage space, but it can only fit a limited amount of items. You can stuff tiny, small, and normal classed items into your backpack. However, normal classed items will take up more storage space than a tiny classed item.
:Your belt is where you store your toolbelt, (if you are an [[engineer]]), your gun, or a variety of other different items, which range from swords to defibrillators.
:The items which you can fit in your suit storage (on the leftmost of your screen, below your gloves) depend on the uniform you are wearing. For example, a hardsuit would allow you to fit an oxygen tank in there, whilst an armor vest would allow you to fit a taser in there.

It's not unknown for security to become particularly trigger-happy towards unimplanted crewmembers.

== What Jobs to Take After Your First Round ==
The best beginner jobs are ones where no one is going to come to you asking for something you don't really understand. assistant is the best because no one expects anything at all from you. You are free to explore and play with the controls. However once you get a grip on the controls is recommended to move to a job where still no one expects anything, but that have a designated objective. The recommended assistant ''plus'' roles are:
* [[Janitor]]: People will expect nothing from you except maybe that you clean the floor.
* [[Curator]]: The library is practically abandoned. Play with board games and painting. Organize books. Get fun loot from your curator beacon.
* [[Cargo Technician|Cargo Tech]]: Move crates until you die. It is said that all SS13 journeys begin and end in cargo. This is because cargo is of vital importance to several game modes. As a CT you will get to see the flow of these rounds first hand. However, your job will still remain to be just moving crates.
After that it's time to move on to some real roles. Funnily enough, the best way to learn these roles is to sign up as an assistant again. You are going to use this role as intended and actually assist some departments. Going to the [[Head of Personnel|HoP]] or whatever place you want to learn about and asking nicely for someone to teach you is a very effective way to learn. The [[Head of Personnel|HoP]] can even give you custom job titles like "medical intern" or "brig receptionist". Job that are good for this are: [[Medical Doctor]], [[Scientist]], [[Station Engineer]]... This is also the best way to dip your toes safely into being a [[Security Officer]]. Be careful, because it's very easy to play security poorly, and [[Shitcurity|letting the power get to your head is a bad idea]].

Avoid joke roles such as the [[Clown]] or [[Mime]] at first. Many players find harassing the on board entertainment much more fun than any jokes the clown might otherwise have.

After some time, when you're confident enough in your combat abilities, you should enable antagonists within your game preferences, so that you can roll for antag when the shift starts. A good half of the game is arguably being an antag and beating everyone up. Don't be scared that you will be a bad antag. Due to the fact that you can't predict what or when it will happen everyone was a painfully obvious antag at one point. It's just how the game works. You should however avoid team antag roles. [[Blood Cult|Blood cult]], blood brothers, [[Revolutionary|revolutions]], [[Clockwork Cult|clock cultists]], [[Nuclear Operative|nuclear operatives]], [[Xenomorph|xenomoprhs]]... The most common and "safe" antag options to dip you toes in are [[Traitor]] and [[Changeling]].

Wrill: updated status tab image

This guide is designed for ease of use for first time players, so non-essential information is segregated to expandable text boxes. Reading these isn't necessary to get into the game, but it's recommended.

|text=Hmph. Fresh off the boat from Nanotrasen's recruitment office, huh? Let me tell you something, kid. You won't last five minutes on this floating deathtrap without help. You're as likely to be left for dead in a dark maintenance tunnel riddled with bullet holes as you are to get out of here alive. Lucky for you, I'm in a helpful mood today.

}}

'''Space Station 13''' is a multiplayer sandbox that has a heavy focus on player interaction. In the year 2557, the megacorporation Nanotrasen has employed you as a staff member onboard their latest state of the art research station. Nanotrasen claims to be researching plasma, a mysterious new substance, but rumors are abound that the station is little more than a twisted social experiment...

At the start of each round, each player is assigned a [[Jobs|role]] onboard the station. There are many [[Jobs|jobs]], such as the [[scientist]] performing [[Guide_to_Research_and_Development|research and development]] of new technologies, the [[Medical_Doctor|medical doctor]] trying to keep people alive, or the simple [[janitor]]. There are many different ways to play. The game also randomly chooses a [[Game Mode|a round type]], ranging from [[Nuclear Operative|an all out assault on the station by nuclear operatives]], a [[Blood Cult|sinister cult sacrificing crewmembers to summon their god]], or more commonly, [[Traitor|good ol' fashioned traitors]]. Every round on Space Station 13 is different.
= Before Playing =

'''It's important to [[https://beestation13.com/rules read the rules]] before connecting for the first time.''' Some common new player mistakes to avoid include:
* Being violent towards other crew members without any reason. This is only okay if you're an [[Terminology#Antag|antagonist]], and you will be notified if you're chosen to be one. If they grab you by your butt and try to [[Terminology#Spacing|space]] you, feel free to [[Terminology#Robust/Robusting|robust]] them. (Telling the admins you were "roleplaying an insane person" will get a couple laughs, but you'll still get banned.)
*You can press the mentorhelp button (found in the "MENTOR" tab above the chat) at any time to send a message directly to the mentor team if you have any questions.
One last point: Please, '''remember the human'''. SS13 can be highly frustrating, you will be unceremoniously killed, griefed, or die to some galactic space-bug shortly before executing your master plan. Everyone is here to play a game they enjoy, so keep that in mind before you bash someone's brain in with a toolbox because they took your [[Engineering_items#Multitool|multitool]].
== Setting Up ==

Make your way to the [https://www.byond.com/download/ BYOND download page] and '''download the client'''. Once you've downloaded, installed, and logged into the client, feel free to close it - we won't be needing to use it directly anymore. Once you're set up, choose a server to join:
* '''BeeStation Sage:''' byond://sage.beestation13.com:7878
*'''BeeStation Acacia:''' byond://acacia.beestation13.com:7979
If you can't use these links to join, open the BYOND client, press '''Ctrl and O''', and paste the link to the server you want to join.
<div style="text-align: left; max-width: 800px;">{{#tag:tab|Sage is our main server, it is usually the one with higher population and Acacia is our overflow server, it is up 24/7 just like sage but it is intended to be used when sage is too full or if you like lower populations. There is also Linden, a server that is rarely every up as it is only used when large admin events are being hosted, go on the discord (discord.gg/ss13) to see when an event is taking place!.|dropdown=true|collapsed=true|name=Server Differences}}</div>
[[File:Newplayeroptions.png|left|thumb|The New Player Options menu]] Once you've connected to a server, you'll be greeted by a small popup window labelled '''New Player Options'''.
If this is your first time playing on BeeStation, you'll need to create a character. Click on the '''Setup Character''' button, and the character creation menu will open.
[[File:Character_settings.PNG|thumb|The character setup screen]]
You don't need to worry about Special Names, Custom job preferences, Uplink Spawn Location, or Species - for now, '''make sure you're a human''', and edit your appearance as you see fit. There's no difference between clothing/backpack options other than appearance, so pick what you think looks best.
<div style="text-align: left; max-width: 800px;">{{#tag:tab|Special names are names specific to certain roles - for example, if you're the clown, you may want a funny name instead of your regular one. The name policy is relaxed on these, so if you have a funny idea for a name, go nuts (within reason - this is at admin discretion). The only custom job preference is specific to security officers, and allows you to choose the department you'd like to monitor. The Uplink spawn location is specific to the [[traitor]] role, and determines the item you can access your [[uplink]] from, where you can purchase different tools to accomplish your goals. The various species options have some effects on gameplay - you can browse the articles for [[lizardmen|lizards]], [[flypeople]], and [[plasmamen]] for more info.|dropdown=true|collapsed=true|name=What does all the ignored stuff do?}}</div>
<div style="text-align: left; max-width: 800px;">{{#tag:tab|The AI on the station follows [[Asimov|the three rules of robotics]]. This means that if you aren't human, the AI can ignore you freely and can cause harm to you if they want. Most players will avoid needlessly antagonizing anyone not playing a human, but it's much better to be safe than sorry.|dropdown=true|collapsed=true|name=Why do I need to be a human?}}</div>
Once you've finished editing your appearance, be sure to press the '''Save Setup''' button at the bottom of the window. Next, press the '''Set Occupation Preferences''' button.

{{Speech
|name=Tuterr, the Private Eye
|text=You're brand new here, so make sure you sign up as an Assistant. Nanotrasen usually has checks to make sure fresh meat doesn't get to be the Captain, but if you manage to end up in that position, you'll probably be just another case for me to solve.|image=[[File:Generic detective.png|64px|right]]
}}

[[File:New_Occupation_screen.JPG|thumb|left|The occupation preferences window]]
[[File:Game_prefences_Screen.PNG|thumb|The game preferences window]]
If the button next to Assistant is a red '''NO''', click it once so that it says '''YES''' in green text. This sets your job to be assistant, no matter what.
<div style="text-align: left; max-width: 800px;">{{#tag:tab|When the game begins, the server checks each players occupation preferences, and assigns jobs accordingly. You can pick '''High''', '''Medium''', '''Low''', or '''Never'''. Each player is limited to one High preference job. Some roles have limited player counts - for example, there is only one Captain. There is no limit on assistants, and it's a role that has no responsibilities, so it's ideal for getting to grips with the game. Some jobs that are critical to game progression are locked off until a certain amount of time has passed since your first login. Check the [[Job selection and assignment|job selection and assignment page]] for more info.|dropdown=true|collapsed=true|name=What does all the ignored stuff do?}}</div>
After that, press '''Done''', then, '''Save Setup'''. Then click on '''Game Preferences''' at the top of the character creation screen. The menu will change and have a big list of options.

Make sure all of the Special Role Settings are set to '''No''' (These control optional settings, like choosing if you'd like to roll for a traitor role - they assume you know how to play the game and are important to the round, so we want them off for now.) '''More importantly, change the Keybindings option to [[Keyboard_Shortcuts|"Hotkeys"]]'''. This guide will assume you're using this control scheme, as it provides quicker functions for actions than the default controls. Most of the options here are relatively self explanatory or irrelevant, so once you're done, click '''Save Setup''' one last time and close the window.
 
== Joining the Game ==

Now that you've created your character, you're ready to join the game. (You may want to continue to read the guide before jumping in.)

There's two possible menus here - the lobby screen will either display a list that has '''Join Game!''' or a '''Ready'''/'''Not Ready''' toggle.
<tabs>
<tab name="Join Game!">[[File:Job_select_screen.PNG|thumb|The choose profession window]] <div style="text-align: center;">If the window says '''Join Game!''', there's currently a round going on. This is most likely what you'll see. Click on the button, and a window will pop up asking you to choose a profession. The jobs available will vary, but for now, pick '''Assistant'''. (The numbers in the brackets next to the job title show the current number of players who have been assigned that job for the round, if there is a zero inside the brackets, no one has been assigned to that job for the round. When you click on the job you want, you'll be brought to the station via the [[Arrivals|arrival shuttle]]. You'll start out on a transit shuttle that will dock at the station in a few seconds - you'll also be strapped into a chair, so don't forget to unbuckle yourself. (You can do this by clicking the '''Resist''' button - don't worry if you aren't sure which button that is yet, as it's explained further down the guide.)</div></tab>
<tab name="Ready/Not Ready/Observe"><div style="text-align: center;">If the window has three buttons that say '''Ready''', '''Not Ready''', and '''Observe''', that means a round has not started yet. This is ideal, because you'll be playing the round from the beginning, when things are the going to be calm and allow you to get your bearings in a relatively safe environment. Toggle the button to '''Ready''', then wait for the game to begin. (You can see the time until the game begins on the '''Lobby''' tab, on the top right of the game window.) Pressing '''Observe''' will spawn you as a [[ghost]], which is essentially a spectator - you won't be able to spawn normally until the next round if you select this option!</div></tab>
</tabs>
== Interface 101 ==
=== Tabs ===
[[File:Status tab top.png|left|thumb|Status Tab.]]
Before you do anything else, take a look at the top right of the game window. You'll see some tabs labelled '''Status''', '''Lobby''', '''Admin''', '''IC''', '''OOC''', '''Object''', and '''Preferences'''. The most important tabs are the Status and Admin tabs. If you're using internals (an oxygen tank and mask), the Status tab tells you the remaining air pressure - useful for avoiding death by suffocation. The Admin tab contains the '''Adminhelp''' button, used to contact admins directly if you have a question or believe someone is breaking the rules.
<div style="text-align: left; max-width: 800px;">{{#tag:tab|
; Status : Displays important info such as your ping, the current map, pressure remaining in airtanks, etc.
; Admin : Contains buttons that allow you if any admins are online, and most importantly, to send a message directly to the admins (the '''Adminhelp''' button). If no admins are online, the message will be forwarded to the admin IRC channel.
; IC : Stands for "In Character". Usually won't use this. (The '''Pray''' button allows you to send a message to any admins online in character - often used for "communicating with the gods". Another useful button is '''Rest''', which lets you go prone at will.)
; OOC : Stands for "Out of Character". Again, rarely needs to be used. Various functions that are related to the game, but not something your character does (eg. seeing the number of players online).
; Object : Never used. Contains buttons to manipulate objects (eg. drag/stop dragging an object), but there are [[Keyboard_Shortcuts|hotkeys]] to do these things much faster.
; Preferences : Self explanatory - contains various options you can toggle on and off.|dropdown=true|collapsed=true|name=Tab descriptions}}</div>
In the '''Status''' tab, take note of the map currently being played on the server. It'll be used later in the guide.
=== HUD ===

{{Speech

|text="Interface"? What the hell are you talking about, kid? "Blue buttons?" Geez, you've been here for five minutes and you're already cracking. Hmmm... *recorder crackles* Note to self - check atmospherics. Gas might be poisoned.|image=[[File:Generic detective.png|64px|right]]
}}
The biggest barrier to entry in Space Station 13 is the controls. The UI is, at a glance, complex, and the controls are unintuitive. Thankfully, once it clicks, you'll never have an issue with it again. '''Don't let it overwhelm you - after a round or two of practice, you should be fine.'''

The top right of the screen contains the action tabs mentioned previously, and the bottom right is the text log. This is where you can see what people are saying, what's happening around you, and chat such as OOC or adminhelps. The bar along the bottom of the screen is the input bar, but since we're on [[Keyboard_Shortcuts|Hotkey]] mode we won't need to use it. There's quite a few HUD elements on the main screen, so let's break them down into sections. '''Don't worry if you can't memorize what everything does at once''' - you can always come back to this guide.
<tabs>
<tab name="Hands">[[File:Hud-hands.gif]] One of the most important elements of the HUD. You have the ability to hold an item in each hand (unless an item takes up both hands, obviously). The square around one of the hands is the '''selected hand'''. If you have an '''empty''' selected hand, and click on an object, you'll pick it up/open it/use it. If '''an object is in your selected hand''' and you click on something, you'll use it on the item you're holding. (The way this works means that if you'd like to unequip your backpack, you need to click and drag the bag into your hand - if it was removed by clicking on it, you'd never be able to open the bag.)

'''If this seems confusing, don't worry - it'll be explained shortly.'''</tab>
<tab name="Inventory Buttons">These icons manage your inventory.

The backpack [[File:Hud-inventory.png]] icon can be toggled to show your worn equipment.

The belt [[File:Hud-Belt.png]], backpack [[File:Hud-Back.png]], and pocket [[File:Hud-Pocket.png]] icons are all storage locations.

The ID [[File:Hud-ID.png]] slot can hold your ID, or your PDA (which can hold your ID).</tab>
<tab name="Interact Commands">These buttons directly affect how you interact with objects.

The drop [[File:Hud-drop.png]] and throw [[File:Hud-throw.png]] icons do what the name implies. Dropping is self explanatory, but the throw button is a toggle - if it's on and you click somewhere, you'll throw the item in your hand at where you clicked. (You can also press R to enable throwing and Q to drop your held item.)

The pull [[File:Hud-pull.png]] icon only appears when dragging something, and can be pressed to stop dragging an object. [[Keyboard_Shortcuts|Hotkey]]: "del".

The internals [[File:Gmaskinternalsicon.gif]] icon can be clicked to enable/disable your internals (oxygen tank and breath mask).

The resist [[File:Hud-resist.png]] icon can be pressed to break out of grabs, restraints, and if you're on fire, is the "stop drop and roll" button. [[Keyboard_Shortcuts|Hotkey]]: "B".

The run/walk toggle [[File:Hud-walkrun.gif]] icon can be pressed to switch between running and walking. Running is faster, but walking has benefits, such as being able to walk over water without slipping - useful for when the janitor doesn't put wet floor signs down. [[Keyboard_Shortcuts|Hotkey]]: Hold "alt" to walk.

The body selector [[File:Hud-target.gif]] icon is used to choose which body part you want to target. This is used for both targeting specific sections to heal, or targeting specific sections when attacking someone. Click a limb to target it. (You can target individual arms, legs, the head, the upper torso, the groin, the eyes, or the mouth.) [[Keyboard_Shortcuts|Hotkeys]]: "numpad keys".

Last but not least is the intent selector [[File:Hud-intent.gif]] - this will be explained in detail later. It has four modes: '''Help''', '''Disarm''', '''Grab''', and '''Harm''', in clockwise order. [[Keyboard_Shortcuts|Hotkeys]]: "1-4".</tab>
<tab name="Other">The health [[File:Hud_100_percent_Health.gif]] icon and [[File:Healthdoll.gif]] doll change depending on how injured you are.

The crafting menu [[File:Craft.gif]] icon opens the crafting menu.

The speech bubble [[File:Talk_wheel.gif]] icon opens the languages menu. You won't need to use this for the tutorial.

The create area [[File:Area_edit.gif]] icon is used to create an "area", which is a more advanced topic. You won't need to worry about it for this tutorial.</tab>
<tab name="Alerts">These will only appear on the HUD if something is wrong.

[[File:Hud-oxy.gif]] '''Oxygen warning''' - The air you're breathing doesn't have enough oxygen.

[[File:Hud-pressure.gif]] '''Pressure warning''' - Pressure levels are too high (red) or too low (black). Low and high pressures can kill you.

[[File:tox_in_air.gif]] '''Toxin warning''' - You are breathing in toxic gases.

[[File:Hud-fire.png]] '''Fire warning''' - The air is hot enough to burn you.

[[File:Hud-freeze.gif]] '''Freeze warning''' - The air is cold enough to freeze you.

[[File:Hud-temp.gif]] '''Temperature warning''' - You're too cold or too hot.

[[File:Hud-hunger.gif]] '''Hunger warning''' - You're starting to get hungry. You cannot die from hunger, but the longer you go without food, the slower you will be able to run. You can also eat too much and become bloated.</tab>
</tabs>
== Controls ==
[[File:Hotkeys.png|thumb|500px|[[Keyboard_Shortcuts|Keybindings]] for the hotkey mode.]]
Don’t get scared by the hotkey image. It shows ''all'' the controls and their alternatives. This might seem like a lot, but don't worry, you'll only be using a few most of the time. The control are quire elegantly designed. There are exceptions, but for the most part you will be able to anything from surgery to nuclear science with the exact same controls.

The default control scheme is “hotkeys” set in the game preferences menu. In case it’s not working you will see the bottom-right textbox in a red color. Click anywhere in the game window and press '''Tab'''. The textbox should go white showing that you are in “hotkey” mode.
* Use the '''WASD''' keys to move around.
* Press the '''X''' key to swap your active hand. The hand system is explained below.
* Press the '''Q''' key to drop what you are currently holding in your hand on the ground.
* Press the '''T''' key to talk. Prefix what you say with a semicolon (;) to say it in the global radio channel. Use the '''M''' key for non-verbal actions like “smile” or “wave”. Use the '''O''' key for OOC chat.
* Use '''left click''' on a thing to interact with it. Interact means different things based on the thing you are clicking. Use '''right click''' for a context menu (mostly used for stacks of items).
* Press the '''Z''' key with an item in hand to “use” it.
* Use '''SHIFT + click''' on anything to examine it. Your new favorite button combo. It will describe what you are looking at. As a new player you will be using this ''very often''.
If you just want to just jump into a round immediately the above controls should be enough for your first round. Doing a task like asking someone where the drink vending machine is, buying and then drinking something.

If you are not as impatient skim the '''[[FullControls|full controls page here]]'''. You can also check out all the available [[Keyboard Shortcuts|hotkeys]].
== Gameplay Concepts ==

}}

Before getting into anything else, it's important to note that since SS13 is such an open ended game that has other people in it, when you get in game and try to follow the guide, things may go wrong - the station might have been almost entirely consumed by a singularity, a traitor could attack you with a powerful weapon, or something no one could have predicted will kill you. It's important to '''not let death get to you''' - Rule 10 exists for a reason! There are multiple ways you can be brought back into the game - don't get frustrated if something happens.

As a brand-new player, your first objective is simply joining the station as non-essential crew and attempting to survive, escaping via the evacuation shuttle or one of the pods located around the station. From there, you can branch out into more of the specific concepts that are often stumbling blocks for newer players, so let's address those first. (These are all in expandable boxes to save space, but it's not a bad idea to read them beforehand.)
=== The Hands System ===
If an item requires two hands to use, then the other hand slot will instead be labeled as “off-hand”. Why do I start by telling you this? Because only one hand can be selected at a time. Imagine yourself as a creature with one hand. You only sprout a second hand when you need to use two handed items.

Another time when you sprout an extra hand is to JUST hold an item. That is because your hands are also just a part of your inventory. However, think of them as an “active” part of your inventory. You place items in these “active” slots when you want to use them.

The bright box around one of your hands is the selected hand. Swap your selected hand with the '''X''' key. This is the hand that's used whenever you click on something. If it’s empty. Otherwise, you will use what you are holding in your hand on what you clicked on.

This can also cause problems with backpacks, boxes, and other containers. If you want to open a container, '''Alt + Click''' it. You can also pick it up, then switch hands and click on the container with an empty hand. Clicking on a container with an object will put it in the container. This also means that if you'd like to '''take your backpack off''', you need to click and drag the bag to an empty hand - a normal click just opens the equipped bag.

If you find this confusing, you should go check out the full controls page. It goes hand in hand (GET IT!?) with this explanation. If you still find it confusing, then maybe you should play your first round already because it really is not that complicated.
=== [[Intent|Intents]] ===
The intent selector has four modes: '''help''' [[File:Intent_Help.png]], '''disarm [[File:Intent_Disarm.png]]''', '''grab''' [[File:Intent_Grab.png]], and '''harm [[File:Intent_Harm.png]]'''. This system mostly controls how you interact with this your bare hands. You can learn more about these uses on [[Intent|the intents page]]. It's not, however, critical that you learn this right now. When it comes to using '''things''' this system is much simpler then it appears. Using a crowbar on someone will hit them '''regardless''' of intent. Most items work like that. Instead when it comes to '''things''' there are special use cases, for example:
* While doing surgery, if you are '''not''' on help [[File:Intent_Help.png]] intent, you will intentionally botch it.
* Clicking on something next to you with a gun will shot them point blank. If, however, you are on harm '''[[File:Intent_Harm.png]]''' intent you will hit them with the weapon instead.
* Using harm '''[[File:Intent_Harm.png]]''' intent on an airlock with a welder will weld it shut instead of repair it.
You don't need to know these things know. It's just so you understand the types of specific thing you will use intents for. These exceptions are not important to memorize. The only intent related thing I want you to know for now is that clicking on people with and empty hand with help [[File:Intent_Help.png]] intent will hug them.
=== Damage ===
There are a few different damage types in SS13. If you take enough damage, you'll fall unconscious into critical condition, better known as '''Crit'''. If left untreated in this state, you'll slowly suffocate until you die.

'''[[Guide_to_medicine#Brute|Brute]]''' damage is received from physical attacks - punches, kicks, toolboxes, hatchets - if someone is hitting you over the head with it, it does Brute damage.

'''[[Guide_to_medicine#Burns|Burn]]''' damage is received from fire or exposure to the vacuum of space.

'''[[Guide_to_medicine#Toxins|Toxin]]''' damage is received from breathing in poison gases, attacks from enemies like giant spiders, ingesting poison, drinking too much booze, or generally having any harmful chemical in your blood.

'''[[Guide_to_medicine#Suffocation|Oxygen]]''' damage is received from being unable to breathe, or while in critical condition. It goes down over time by itself if you're not in crit.

'''[[Guide_to_medicine#Brain_damage|Brain]]''' damage is reveived from being [[Guide_to_genetics#Cloning|cloned]] or [[Guide_to_chemistry#Methamphetamine|other things]]. Can randomly cause [[Guide_to_Traumas|brain traumas]]. Those suffering from brain damage usually need [[Guide_to_chemistry#Mannitol|chemicals]] to cure their condition.

'''[[Guide_to_medicine#Cellular_damage|Cellular]]''' damage is reveived from being [[Guide_to_genetics#Cloning|cloned]] or from being fed on by a [[Slime|slime]]. Can be cured with [[Guide_to_medicine#Cryogenics_Tube|cryo]] treatment.

Brute and Burn damage are applied to specific limbs. If you've been smacked in the head with a toolbox a few times, you'll have to aim at your head (with numpad keys) when you use a bruise pack. Most [[Guide_to_chemistry#Medicines|medicines]] can be ingested to heal damage anywhere on your body. If you take enough damage to one limb, you can be '''dismembered'''. You will need [[Surgery#Prosthetic_Replacement|surgery]] to replace lost limbs.
=== Combat ===
Combat in SS13 is very heavily focused on '''who falls over first'''. If you're prone, you've likely lost. This means items like [[General_items#Soap|soap]] [[File:Soaps.gif]] or [[Security_items#Disabler|disablers]] [[File:ModernDisabler.png]] are extremely useful.

If you get into a fight, consider your options - it may be best to try and simply run away. If you think you can disarm your opponent, you could turn the tables by taking their weapon. Combat in SS13 is fast paced and revolves around a lot of back and forth swipes, almost like a strange joust between 2D spacemen.

Getting better at combat in SS13 requires practice - there's only so much you can be taught. The rest is learning how to create and take advantage of opportunities. Hopefully, you won't have to get into many fights as you start out.

To learn more about combat and how to win fights, see the [[Guide_to_Combat|Guide to Combat]].
=== Ghosts ===
If you end up dying, don't worry, there's a few ways to go from there.

If you try to move, you'll '''[[ghost]]''' out of your corpse. This is essentially spectator mode - you can communicate with other dead players (and talking about the round out of character is okay in this chat) by talking normally and are able to fly around the entire map. (Note that while it's okay to talk about the round in deadchat, if you're revived, '''you cannot use any information gained while dead'''. Anything you saw while alive is fair game.)

If you die, you can be [[Cloning|cloned]], revived via [[defibrillator]], turned into a [[podperson]], have your brain removed and put into a [[cyborg]], or more. There are '''ghost roles''' that can be played by dead players - some areas have objects that, when clicked on as a ghost, will spawn you as a new character. (You're a new character, so don't use any information from your past life.) There may even be alerts that pop up while you're dead, asking if you'd like to take control of a [[xenomorph]], a [[morph]], or almost anything else. These are often provided by admins, but can occasionally happen via random event. '''Please note that if you take on a ghost role you CANNOT be cloned or return to your original body!'''

Now that we've gone over the interface and some more important game concepts, let's jump into the game. If you join a game in progress, you'll spawn on the [[Arrivals|arrival shuttle]]. (You'll start buckled onto a chair as the shuttle docks with the station - press the '''Resist''' button on the HUD or the picture of the chair to unbuckle yourself). Otherwise, you'll be spawned in a random, public area of the station.

BeeStation has multiple maps that the server will occasionally change to. The "standard" station layout is [[BoxStation|Box Station]], but the game can also take place on [[MetaStation|Meta Station]], [[PubbyStation|Pubby Station]], [[DeltaStation|Delta Station]], or [[CorgStation|Corg Station]]. You can visit the individual wiki pages to see the layout of a specific map.

Each station has a unique layout, so you'll likely want to use these maps to get your bearings.

Since you've chosen [[Assistant]] as your role, you'll have no responsibilities. This means you can safely attempt to get your bearings without fear of someone telling you that you need to be doing something. This guide will list a few tasks for you to perform so you can put the concepts discussed above into practice. It might be awkward at first, but it doesn't take much time to get to grips with how to control your character.

Eventualy, once you're confident in the controls, why not consider doing some [[How to Roleplay|roleplaying]]? Theres also [[How to Roleplay|a guide]] to help with that.
== What to do if There's a Breach ==
If you hear the telltale sound of air being sucked out of a room or see a hole in the station, something's gone wrong and caused a breach. It's wise to avoid being exposed to the vacuum of space for too long, but if you need to pass by, you can put '''internals''' on.

When you spawn, inside your backpack is an emergency kit with a [[Emergency Oxygen Tank|small tank of O2]], a [[Breath Mask|breath mask]], and an [[Epipen|epipen]] to stabilize someone who's in crit.
# Using an empty hand, click on your backpack, then click + drag the box inside to your character's sprite. This will open the box.
# Take the breath mask and put it on your mask [[File:Hud-Mask.png]] slot (press the equipment [[File:Hud-inventory.png]] icon to see it).
# Take the O2 tank and put it in one of your pockets. This leaves your hands free for other tasks.
# Press the internals [[File:Gmaskinternalsicon.gif]] icon to turn on your air supply.

This will keep you breathing clean air - make sure to avoid exposure to a vacuum for too long, and watch your air tank's supply in the Status bar!

|[[File:Backpack.png]]'''1. Inventory Management:'''
:The inventory system is a little unintuitive at first, but once you figure it out, it'll stay with you.
:Items in the game have 4 different "weight classes," tiny, small, normal, and bulky. These weight classes determine in which storage slots it can fit in, and what they can't fit in.
:If you are wearing a jumpsuit, the two item storage slots to the rightmost of your screen are your pockets. These pockets can only store tiny items.
:Your hands are where you can grab items and interact with them.
:Your back is where you should have your backpack. Your backpack is your main storage space, but it can only fit a limited amount of items. You can stuff tiny, small, and normal classed items into your backpack. However, normal classed items will take up more storage space than a tiny classed item.
:Your belt is where you store your toolbelt, (if you are an [[engineer]]), your gun, or a variety of other different items, which range from swords to defibrillators.
:The items which you can fit in your suit storage (on the leftmost of your screen, below your gloves) depend on the uniform you are wearing. For example, a hardsuit would allow you to fit an oxygen tank in there, whilst an armor vest would allow you to fit a taser in there.
|-
|[[File:Nuvola apps important.svg|25px]]'''2. Hazards:'''
:<s>A good start to reacting against someone beating your teeth in is by screaming ";HELP <LOCATION NAME> <GUY BEATING YOU UP> IS A [[Jobs#Antagonists|<TRAITOR/LING/WHATEVER>]]. This allows security to flag that guy down as arrest, which means that if a security officer encounters that person again, they see an arrest overlay.</s>
:Try running away instead of fighting unless you are a security officer, remember 99% of the time you aren't a trained combatant and should try contacting security instead of just screaming that theres an antagonist in your exact location

:[[Random events#Radiation Storm|Radiation Storm:]] A message stating '''''"High levels of radiation detected near the station. Maintenance is best shielded from radiation."''''' will broadcast. Normally, if the heads are competent, a station-wide emergency will then be declared opening up maintenance even if you don't have access. All you have to do now is mill in maintenance until the radiation storm passes over.
:If there's cries of revolutionaries or a cult, [[Blood Cult|blood]] or [[Clockwork Cult|otherwise]] over the radio, it's probably in your best interests to secure a pair of sunglasses and head towards security to get implanted (or baton "unconverted"). It's not unknown for security to become particularly trigger-happy towards unimplanted crewmembers.

== What Jobs to Take After Your First Round ==
The best beginner jobs are ones where no one is going to come to you asking for something you don't really understand. assistant is the best because no one expects anything at all from you. You are free to explore and play with the controls. However once you get a grip on the controls is recommended to move to a job where still no one expects anything, but that have a designated objective. The recommended assistant ''plus'' roles are:
* [[Janitor]]: People will expect nothing from you except maybe that you clean the floor.
* [[Curator]]: The library is practically abandoned. Play with board games and painting. Organize books. Get fun loot from your curator beacon.
* [[Cargo Technician|Cargo Tech]]: Move crates until you die. It is said that all SS13 journeys begin and end in cargo. This is because cargo is of vital importance to several game modes. As a CT you will get to see the flow of these rounds first hand. However, your job will still remain to be just moving crates.
After that it's time to move on to some real roles. Funnily enough, the best way to learn these roles is to sign up as an assistant again. You are going to use this role as intended and actually assist some departments. Going to the [[Head of Personnel|HoP]] or whatever place you want to learn about and asking nicely for someone to teach you is a very effective way to learn. The [[Head of Personnel|HoP]] can even give you custom job titles like "medical intern" or "brig receptionist". Job that are good for this are: [[Medical Doctor]], [[Scientist]], [[Station Engineer]]... This is also the best way to dip your toes safely into being a [[Security Officer]]. Be careful, because it's very easy to play security poorly, and [[Shitcurity|letting the power get to your head is a bad idea]].

Avoid joke roles such as the [[Clown]] or [[Mime]] at first. Many players find harassing the on board entertainment much more fun than any jokes the clown might otherwise have.

After some time, when you're confident enough in your combat abilities, you should enable antagonists within your game preferences, so that you can roll for antag when the shift starts. A good half of the game is arguably being an antag and beating everyone up. Don't be scared that you will be a bad antag. Due to the fact that you can't predict what or when it will happen everyone was a painfully obvious antag at one point. It's just how the game works. You should however avoid team antag roles. [[Blood Cult|Blood cult]], blood brothers, [[Revolutionary|revolutions]], [[Clockwork Cult|clock cultists]], [[Nuclear Operative|nuclear operatives]], [[Xenomorph|xenomoprhs]]... The most common and "safe" antag options to dip you toes in are [[Traitor]] and [[Changeling]].

|text=Hmph. Fresh off the boat from Nanotrasen's recruitment office, huh? Let me tell you something, kid. You won't last five minutes on this floating deathtrap without help. You're as likely to be left for dead in a dark maintenance tunnel riddled with bullet holes as you are to get out of here alive. Lucky for you, I'm in a helpful mood today.

'''Space Station 13''' is a multiplayer sandbox that has a heavy focus on player interaction. In the year 2557, the megacorporation Nanotrasen has employed you as a staff member onboard their latest state of the art research station. Nanotrasen claims to be researching plasma, a mysterious new substance, but rumors are abound that the station is little more than a twisted social experiment...

At the start of each round, each player is assigned a [[Jobs|role]] onboard the station. There are many [[Jobs|jobs]], such as the [[scientist]] performing [[Guide_to_Research_and_Development|research and development]] of new technologies, the [[Medical_Doctor|medical doctor]] trying to keep people alive, or the simple [[janitor]]. There are many different ways to play. The game also randomly chooses a [[Game Mode|a round type]], ranging from [[Nuclear Operative|an all out assault on the station by nuclear operatives]], a [[Blood Cult|sinister cult sacrificing crewmembers to summon their god]], or more commonly, [[Traitor|good ol' fashioned traitors]]. Every round on Space Station 13 is different.
= Before Playing =

'''It's important to [[https://beestation13.com/rules read the rules]] before connecting for the first time.''' Some common new player mistakes to avoid include:
* Being violent towards other crew members without any reason. This is only okay if you're an [[Terminology#Antag|antagonist]], and you will be notified if you're chosen to be one. If they grab you by your butt and try to [[Terminology#Spacing|space]] you, feel free to [[Terminology#Robust/Robusting|robust]] them. (Telling the admins you were "roleplaying an insane person" will get a couple laughs, but you'll still get banned.)
*You can press the mentorhelp button (found in the "MENTOR" tab above the chat) at any time to send a message directly to the mentor team if you have any questions.
One last point: Please, '''remember the human'''. SS13 can be highly frustrating, you will be unceremoniously killed, griefed, or die to some galactic space-bug shortly before executing your master plan. Everyone is here to play a game they enjoy, so keep that in mind before you bash someone's brain in with a toolbox because they took your [[Engineering_items#Multitool|multitool]].
== Setting Up ==

Make your way to the [https://www.byond.com/download/ BYOND download page] and '''download the client'''. Once you've downloaded, installed, and logged into the client, feel free to close it - we won't be needing to use it directly anymore. Once you're set up, choose a server to join:
* '''BeeStation Sage:''' byond://sage.beestation13.com:7878
*'''BeeStation Acacia:''' byond://acacia.beestation13.com:7979
If you can't use these links to join, open the BYOND client, press '''Ctrl and O''', and paste the link to the server you want to join.
<div style="text-align: left; max-width: 800px;">{{#tag:tab|Sage is our main server, it is usually the one with higher population and Acacia is our overflow server, it is up 24/7 just like sage but it is intended to be used when sage is too full or if you like lower populations. There is also Linden, a server that is rarely every up as it is only used when large admin events are being hosted, go on the discord (discord.gg/ss13) to see when an event is taking place!.|dropdown=true|collapsed=true|name=Server Differences}}</div>
[[File:Newplayeroptions.png|left|thumb|The New Player Options menu]] Once you've connected to a server, you'll be greeted by a small popup window labelled '''New Player Options'''.
If this is your first time playing on BeeStation, you'll need to create a character. Click on the '''Setup Character''' button, and the character creation menu will open.
[[File:Character_settings.PNG|thumb|The character setup screen]]
You don't need to worry about Special Names, Custom job preferences, Uplink Spawn Location, or Species - for now, '''make sure you're a human''', and edit your appearance as you see fit. There's no difference between clothing/backpack options other than appearance, so pick what you think looks best.
<div style="text-align: left; max-width: 800px;">{{#tag:tab|Special names are names specific to certain roles - for example, if you're the clown, you may want a funny name instead of your regular one. The name policy is relaxed on these, so if you have a funny idea for a name, go nuts (within reason - this is at admin discretion). The only custom job preference is specific to security officers, and allows you to choose the department you'd like to monitor. The Uplink spawn location is specific to the [[traitor]] role, and determines the item you can access your [[uplink]] from, where you can purchase different tools to accomplish your goals. The various species options have some effects on gameplay - you can browse the articles for [[lizardmen|lizards]], [[flypeople]], and [[plasmamen]] for more info.|dropdown=true|collapsed=true|name=What does all the ignored stuff do?}}</div>
<div style="text-align: left; max-width: 800px;">{{#tag:tab|The AI on the station follows [[Asimov|the three rules of robotics]]. This means that if you aren't human, the AI can ignore you freely and can cause harm to you if they want. Most players will avoid needlessly antagonizing anyone not playing a human, but it's much better to be safe than sorry.|dropdown=true|collapsed=true|name=Why do I need to be a human?}}</div>
Once you've finished editing your appearance, be sure to press the '''Save Setup''' button at the bottom of the window. Next, press the '''Set Occupation Preferences''' button.

{{Speech
|name=Tuterr, the Private Eye
|text=You're brand new here, so make sure you sign up as an Assistant. Nanotrasen usually has checks to make sure fresh meat doesn't get to be the Captain, but if you manage to end up in that position, you'll probably be just another case for me to solve.|image=[[File:Generic detective.png|64px|right]]
}}

[[File:New_Occupation_screen.JPG|thumb|left|The occupation preferences window]]
[[File:Game_prefences_Screen.PNG|thumb|The game preferences window]]
If the button next to Assistant is a red '''NO''', click it once so that it says '''YES''' in green text. This sets your job to be assistant, no matter what.
<div style="text-align: left; max-width: 800px;">{{#tag:tab|When the game begins, the server checks each players occupation preferences, and assigns jobs accordingly. You can pick '''High''', '''Medium''', '''Low''', or '''Never'''. Each player is limited to one High preference job. Some roles have limited player counts - for example, there is only one Captain. There is no limit on assistants, and it's a role that has no responsibilities, so it's ideal for getting to grips with the game. Some jobs that are critical to game progression are locked off until a certain amount of time has passed since your first login. Check the [[Job selection and assignment|job selection and assignment page]] for more info.|dropdown=true|collapsed=true|name=What does all the ignored stuff do?}}</div>
After that, press '''Done''', then, '''Save Setup'''. Then click on '''Game Preferences''' at the top of the character creation screen. The menu will change and have a big list of options.

Make sure all of the Special Role Settings are set to '''No''' (These control optional settings, like choosing if you'd like to roll for a traitor role - they assume you know how to play the game and are important to the round, so we want them off for now.) '''More importantly, change the Keybindings option to [[Keyboard_Shortcuts|"Hotkeys"]]'''. This guide will assume you're using this control scheme, as it provides quicker functions for actions than the default controls. Most of the options here are relatively self explanatory or irrelevant, so once you're done, click '''Save Setup''' one last time and close the window.
 
== Joining the Game ==

Now that you've created your character, you're ready to join the game. (You may want to continue to read the guide before jumping in.)

There's two possible menus here - the lobby screen will either display a list that has '''Join Game!''' or a '''Ready'''/'''Not Ready''' toggle.
<tabs>
<tab name="Join Game!">[[File:Job_select_screen.PNG|thumb|The choose profession window]] <div style="text-align: center;">If the window says '''Join Game!''', there's currently a round going on. This is most likely what you'll see. Click on the button, and a window will pop up asking you to choose a profession. The jobs available will vary, but for now, pick '''Assistant'''. (The numbers in the brackets next to the job title show the current number of players who have been assigned that job for the round, if there is a zero inside the brackets, no one has been assigned to that job for the round. When you click on the job you want, you'll be brought to the station via the [[Arrivals|arrival shuttle]]. You'll start out on a transit shuttle that will dock at the station in a few seconds - you'll also be strapped into a chair, so don't forget to unbuckle yourself. (You can do this by clicking the '''Resist''' button - don't worry if you aren't sure which button that is yet, as it's explained further down the guide.)</div></tab>
<tab name="Ready/Not Ready/Observe"><div style="text-align: center;">If the window has three buttons that say '''Ready''', '''Not Ready''', and '''Observe''', that means a round has not started yet. This is ideal, because you'll be playing the round from the beginning, when things are the going to be calm and allow you to get your bearings in a relatively safe environment. Toggle the button to '''Ready''', then wait for the game to begin. (You can see the time until the game begins on the '''Lobby''' tab, on the top right of the game window.) Pressing '''Observe''' will spawn you as a [[ghost]], which is essentially a spectator - you won't be able to spawn normally until the next round if you select this option!</div></tab>
</tabs>
== Interface 101 ==

=== Tabs ===

[[File:Tutorial_tabs.png|left|thumb|Status tab]]
Before you do anything else, take a look at the top right of the game window. You'll see some tabs labelled '''Status''', '''Lobby''', '''Admin''', '''IC''', '''OOC''', '''Object''', and '''Preferences'''. The most important tabs are the Status and Admin tabs. If you're using internals (an oxygen tank and mask), the Status tab tells you the remaining air pressure - useful for avoiding death by suffocation. The Admin tab contains the '''Adminhelp''' button, used to contact admins directly if you have a question or believe someone is breaking the rules.
<div style="text-align: left; max-width: 800px;">{{#tag:tab|
; Status : Displays important info such as your ping, the current map, pressure remaining in airtanks, etc.
; Admin : Contains buttons that allow you if any admins are online, and most importantly, to send a message directly to the admins (the '''Adminhelp''' button). If no admins are online, the message will be forwarded to the admin IRC channel.
; IC : Stands for "In Character". Usually won't use this. (The '''Pray''' button allows you to send a message to any admins online in character - often used for "communicating with the gods". Another useful button is '''Rest''', which lets you go prone at will.)
; OOC : Stands for "Out of Character". Again, rarely needs to be used. Various functions that are related to the game, but not something your character does (eg. seeing the number of players online).
; Object : Never used. Contains buttons to manipulate objects (eg. drag/stop dragging an object), but there are [[Keyboard_Shortcuts|hotkeys]] to do these things much faster.
; Preferences : Self explanatory - contains various options you can toggle on and off.|dropdown=true|collapsed=true|name=Tab descriptions}}</div>
In the '''Status''' tab, take note of the map currently being played on the server. It'll be used later in the guide.
=== HUD ===

{{Speech

}}
The biggest barrier to entry in Space Station 13 is the controls. The UI is, at a glance, complex, and the controls are unintuitive. Thankfully, once it clicks, you'll never have an issue with it again. '''Don't let it overwhelm you - after a round or two of practice, you should be fine.'''

The top right of the screen contains the action tabs mentioned previously, and the bottom right is the text log. This is where you can see what people are saying, what's happening around you, and chat such as OOC or adminhelps. The bar along the bottom of the screen is the input bar, but since we're on [[Keyboard_Shortcuts|Hotkey]] mode we won't need to use it. There's quite a few HUD elements on the main screen, so let's break them down into sections. '''Don't worry if you can't memorize what everything does at once''' - you can always come back to this guide.
<tabs>
<tab name="Hands">[[File:Hud-hands.gif]] One of the most important elements of the HUD. You have the ability to hold an item in each hand (unless an item takes up both hands, obviously). The square around one of the hands is the '''selected hand'''. If you have an '''empty''' selected hand, and click on an object, you'll pick it up/open it/use it. If '''an object is in your selected hand''' and you click on something, you'll use it on the item you're holding. (The way this works means that if you'd like to unequip your backpack, you need to click and drag the bag into your hand - if it was removed by clicking on it, you'd never be able to open the bag.)

'''If this seems confusing, don't worry - it'll be explained shortly.'''</tab>
<tab name="Inventory Buttons">These icons manage your inventory.

The backpack [[File:Hud-inventory.png]] icon can be toggled to show your worn equipment.

The belt [[File:Hud-Belt.png]], backpack [[File:Hud-Back.png]], and pocket [[File:Hud-Pocket.png]] icons are all storage locations.

The ID [[File:Hud-ID.png]] slot can hold your ID, or your PDA (which can hold your ID).</tab>
<tab name="Interact Commands">These buttons directly affect how you interact with objects.

The drop [[File:Hud-drop.png]] and throw [[File:Hud-throw.png]] icons do what the name implies. Dropping is self explanatory, but the throw button is a toggle - if it's on and you click somewhere, you'll throw the item in your hand at where you clicked. (You can also press R to enable throwing and Q to drop your held item.)

The pull [[File:Hud-pull.png]] icon only appears when dragging something, and can be pressed to stop dragging an object. [[Keyboard_Shortcuts|Hotkey]]: "del".

The internals [[File:Gmaskinternalsicon.gif]] icon can be clicked to enable/disable your internals (oxygen tank and breath mask).

The resist [[File:Hud-resist.png]] icon can be pressed to break out of grabs, restraints, and if you're on fire, is the "stop drop and roll" button. [[Keyboard_Shortcuts|Hotkey]]: "B".

The run/walk toggle [[File:Hud-walkrun.gif]] icon can be pressed to switch between running and walking. Running is faster, but walking has benefits, such as being able to walk over water without slipping - useful for when the janitor doesn't put wet floor signs down. [[Keyboard_Shortcuts|Hotkey]]: Hold "alt" to walk.

The body selector [[File:Hud-target.gif]] icon is used to choose which body part you want to target. This is used for both targeting specific sections to heal, or targeting specific sections when attacking someone. Click a limb to target it. (You can target individual arms, legs, the head, the upper torso, the groin, the eyes, or the mouth.) [[Keyboard_Shortcuts|Hotkeys]]: "numpad keys".

Last but not least is the intent selector [[File:Hud-intent.gif]] - this will be explained in detail later. It has four modes: '''Help''', '''Disarm''', '''Grab''', and '''Harm''', in clockwise order. [[Keyboard_Shortcuts|Hotkeys]]: "1-4".</tab>
<tab name="Other">The health [[File:Hud_100_percent_Health.gif]] icon and [[File:Healthdoll.gif]] doll change depending on how injured you are.

The crafting menu [[File:Craft.gif]] icon opens the crafting menu.

The speech bubble [[File:Talk_wheel.gif]] icon opens the languages menu. You won't need to use this for the tutorial.

The create area [[File:Area_edit.gif]] icon is used to create an "area", which is a more advanced topic. You won't need to worry about it for this tutorial.</tab>
<tab name="Alerts">These will only appear on the HUD if something is wrong.

[[File:Hud-oxy.gif]] '''Oxygen warning''' - The air you're breathing doesn't have enough oxygen.

[[File:Hud-pressure.gif]] '''Pressure warning''' - Pressure levels are too high (red) or too low (black). Low and high pressures can kill you.

[[File:tox_in_air.gif]] '''Toxin warning''' - You are breathing in toxic gases.

[[File:Hud-fire.png]] '''Fire warning''' - The air is hot enough to burn you.

[[File:Hud-freeze.gif]] '''Freeze warning''' - The air is cold enough to freeze you.

[[File:Hud-temp.gif]] '''Temperature warning''' - You're too cold or too hot.

[[File:Hud-hunger.gif]] '''Hunger warning''' - You're starting to get hungry. You cannot die from hunger, but the longer you go without food, the slower you will be able to run. You can also eat too much and become bloated.</tab>
</tabs>
== Controls ==
[[File:Hotkeys.png|thumb|500px|[[Keyboard_Shortcuts|Keybindings]] for the hotkey mode.]]
Don’t get scared by the hotkey image. It shows ''all'' the controls and their alternatives. This might seem like a lot, but don't worry, you'll only be using a few most of the time. The control are quire elegantly designed. There are exceptions, but for the most part you will be able to anything from surgery to nuclear science with the exact same controls.

The default control scheme is “hotkeys” set in the game preferences menu. In case it’s not working you will see the bottom-right textbox in a red color. Click anywhere in the game window and press '''Tab'''. The textbox should go white showing that you are in “hotkey” mode.
* Use the '''WASD''' keys to move around.
* Press the '''X''' key to swap your active hand. The hand system is explained below.
* Press the '''Q''' key to drop what you are currently holding in your hand on the ground.
* Press the '''T''' key to talk. Prefix what you say with a semicolon (;) to say it in the global radio channel. Use the '''M''' key for non-verbal actions like “smile” or “wave”. Use the '''O''' key for OOC chat.
* Use '''left click''' on a thing to interact with it. Interact means different things based on the thing you are clicking. Use '''right click''' for a context menu (mostly used for stacks of items).
* Press the '''Z''' key with an item in hand to “use” it.
* Use '''SHIFT + click''' on anything to examine it. Your new favorite button combo. It will describe what you are looking at. As a new player you will be using this ''very often''.
If you just want to just jump into a round immediately the above controls should be enough for your first round. Doing a task like asking someone where the drink vending machine is, buying and then drinking something.

If you are not as impatient skim the '''[[FullControls|full controls page here]]'''. You can also check out all the available [[Keyboard Shortcuts|hotkeys]].
== Gameplay Concepts ==

}}

Before getting into anything else, it's important to note that since SS13 is such an open ended game that has other people in it, when you get in game and try to follow the guide, things may go wrong - the station might have been almost entirely consumed by a singularity, a traitor could attack you with a powerful weapon, or something no one could have predicted will kill you. It's important to '''not let death get to you''' - Rule 10 exists for a reason! There are multiple ways you can be brought back into the game - don't get frustrated if something happens.

As a brand-new player, your first objective is simply joining the station as non-essential crew and attempting to survive, escaping via the evacuation shuttle or one of the pods located around the station. From there, you can branch out into more of the specific concepts that are often stumbling blocks for newer players, so let's address those first. (These are all in expandable boxes to save space, but it's not a bad idea to read them beforehand.)

=== The Hands System ===
If an item requires two hands to use, then the other hand slot will instead be labeled as “off-hand”. Why do I start by telling you this? Because only one hand can be selected at a time. Imagine yourself as a creature with one hand. You only sprout a second hand when you need to use two handed items.

Another time when you sprout an extra hand is to JUST hold an item. That is because your hands are also just a part of your inventory. However, think of them as an “active” part of your inventory. You place items in these “active” slots when you want to use them.

The bright box around one of your hands is the selected hand. Swap your selected hand with the '''X''' key. This is the hand that's used whenever you click on something. If it’s empty. Otherwise, you will use what you are holding in your hand on what you clicked on.

This can also cause problems with backpacks, boxes, and other containers. If you want to open a container, '''Alt + Click''' it. You can also pick it up, then switch hands and click on the container with an empty hand. Clicking on a container with an object will put it in the container. This also means that if you'd like to '''take your backpack off''', you need to click and drag the bag to an empty hand - a normal click just opens the equipped bag.

If you find this confusing, you should go check out the full controls page. It goes hand in hand (GET IT!?) with this explanation. If you still find it confusing, then maybe you should play your first round already because it really is not that complicated.

=== [[Intent|Intents]] ===
The intent selector has four modes: '''help''' [[File:Intent_Help.png]], '''disarm [[File:Intent_Disarm.png]]''', '''grab''' [[File:Intent_Grab.png]], and '''harm [[File:Intent_Harm.png]]'''. This system mostly controls how you interact with this your bare hands. You can learn more about these uses on [[Intent|the intents page]]. It's not, however, critical that you learn this right now. When it comes to using '''things''' this system is much simpler then it appears. Using a crowbar on someone will hit them '''regardless''' of intent. Most items work like that. Instead when it comes to '''things''' there are special use cases, for example:
* While doing surgery, if you are '''not''' on help [[File:Intent_Help.png]] intent, you will intentionally botch it.
* Clicking on something next to you with a gun will shot them point blank. If, however, you are on harm '''[[File:Intent_Harm.png]]''' intent you will hit them with the weapon instead.
* Using harm '''[[File:Intent_Harm.png]]''' intent on an airlock with a welder will weld it shut instead of repair it.
You don't need to know these things know. It's just so you understand the types of specific thing you will use intents for. These exceptions are not important to memorize. The only intent related thing I want you to know for now is that clicking on people with and empty hand with help [[File:Intent_Help.png]] intent will hug them.
=== Damage ===
There are a few different damage types in SS13. If you take enough damage, you'll fall unconscious into critical condition, better known as '''Crit'''. If left untreated in this state, you'll slowly suffocate until you die.

'''[[Guide_to_medicine#Brute|Brute]]''' damage is received from physical attacks - punches, kicks, toolboxes, hatchets - if someone is hitting you over the head with it, it does Brute damage.

'''[[Guide_to_medicine#Burns|Burn]]''' damage is received from fire or exposure to the vacuum of space.

'''[[Guide_to_medicine#Toxins|Toxin]]''' damage is received from breathing in poison gases, attacks from enemies like giant spiders, ingesting poison, drinking too much booze, or generally having any harmful chemical in your blood.

'''[[Guide_to_medicine#Suffocation|Oxygen]]''' damage is received from being unable to breathe, or while in critical condition. It goes down over time by itself if you're not in crit.

'''[[Guide_to_medicine#Brain_damage|Brain]]''' damage is reveived from being [[Guide_to_genetics#Cloning|cloned]] or [[Guide_to_chemistry#Methamphetamine|other things]]. Can randomly cause [[Guide_to_Traumas|brain traumas]]. Those suffering from brain damage usually need [[Guide_to_chemistry#Mannitol|chemicals]] to cure their condition.

'''[[Guide_to_medicine#Cellular_damage|Cellular]]''' damage is reveived from being [[Guide_to_genetics#Cloning|cloned]] or from being fed on by a [[Slime|slime]]. Can be cured with [[Guide_to_medicine#Cryogenics_Tube|cryo]] treatment.

Brute and Burn damage are applied to specific limbs. If you've been smacked in the head with a toolbox a few times, you'll have to aim at your head (with numpad keys) when you use a bruise pack. Most [[Guide_to_chemistry#Medicines|medicines]] can be ingested to heal damage anywhere on your body. If you take enough damage to one limb, you can be '''dismembered'''. You will need [[Surgery#Prosthetic_Replacement|surgery]] to replace lost limbs.
=== Combat ===
Combat in SS13 is very heavily focused on '''who falls over first'''. If you're prone, you've likely lost. This means items like [[General_items#Soap|soap]] [[File:Soaps.gif]] or [[Security_items#Disabler|disablers]] [[File:ModernDisabler.png]] are extremely useful.

If you get into a fight, consider your options - it may be best to try and simply run away. If you think you can disarm your opponent, you could turn the tables by taking their weapon. Combat in SS13 is fast paced and revolves around a lot of back and forth swipes, almost like a strange joust between 2D spacemen.

Getting better at combat in SS13 requires practice - there's only so much you can be taught. The rest is learning how to create and take advantage of opportunities. Hopefully, you won't have to get into many fights as you start out.

To learn more about combat and how to win fights, see the [[Guide_to_Combat|Guide to Combat]].
=== Ghosts ===
If you end up dying, don't worry, there's a few ways to go from there.

If you try to move, you'll '''[[ghost]]''' out of your corpse. This is essentially spectator mode - you can communicate with other dead players (and talking about the round out of character is okay in this chat) by talking normally and are able to fly around the entire map. (Note that while it's okay to talk about the round in deadchat, if you're revived, '''you cannot use any information gained while dead'''. Anything you saw while alive is fair game.)

If you die, you can be [[Cloning|cloned]], revived via [[defibrillator]], turned into a [[podperson]], have your brain removed and put into a [[cyborg]], or more. There are '''ghost roles''' that can be played by dead players - some areas have objects that, when clicked on as a ghost, will spawn you as a new character. (You're a new character, so don't use any information from your past life.) There may even be alerts that pop up while you're dead, asking if you'd like to take control of a [[xenomorph]], a [[morph]], or almost anything else. These are often provided by admins, but can occasionally happen via random event. '''Please note that if you take on a ghost role you CANNOT be cloned or return to your original body!'''
= Playing the Game =
[[File:HUD_no_labels.png|thumb|500px|Arriving on the station.]]
{{Speech
|name=C-05-MO, the AI
|text=Hello! The automatic diagnostic and announcement system welcomes you to Space Station 13. Remember: Have a secure day.
|image=[[File:AI.gif|64px|right]]
}}

Now that we've gone over the interface and some more important game concepts, let's jump into the game. If you join a game in progress, you'll spawn on the [[Arrivals|arrival shuttle]]. (You'll start buckled onto a chair as the shuttle docks with the station - press the '''Resist''' button on the HUD or the picture of the chair to unbuckle yourself). Otherwise, you'll be spawned in a random, public area of the station.

BeeStation has multiple maps that the server will occasionally change to. The "standard" station layout is [[BoxStation|Box Station]], but the game can also take place on [[MetaStation|Meta Station]], [[PubbyStation|Pubby Station]], [[DeltaStation|Delta Station]], or [[CorgStation|Corg Station]]. You can visit the individual wiki pages to see the layout of a specific map.

Each station has a unique layout, so you'll likely want to use these maps to get your bearings.
* "BoxStation" [https://affectedarc07.github.io/SS13WebMap/BeeStation/BoxStation/ Click here for a map of BoxStation.] Visit [[BoxStation|the wiki page for BoxStation]] for more details.
* "MetaStation" [https://affectedarc07.github.io/SS13WebMap/BeeStation/MetaStation/ Click here for a map of MetaStation.] Visit [[MetaStation|the wiki page for MetaStation]] for more details.

Since you've chosen [[Assistant]] as your role, you'll have no responsibilities. This means you can safely attempt to get your bearings without fear of someone telling you that you need to be doing something. This guide will list a few tasks for you to perform so you can put the concepts discussed above into practice. It might be awkward at first, but it doesn't take much time to get to grips with how to control your character.

Eventualy, once you're confident in the controls, why not consider doing some [[How to Roleplay|roleplaying]]? Theres also [[How to Roleplay|a guide]] to help with that.
== What to do if There's a Breach ==
If you hear the telltale sound of air being sucked out of a room or see a hole in the station, something's gone wrong and caused a breach. It's wise to avoid being exposed to the vacuum of space for too long, but if you need to pass by, you can put '''internals''' on.

When you spawn, inside your backpack is an emergency kit with a [[Emergency Oxygen Tank|small tank of O2]], a [[Breath Mask|breath mask]], and an [[Epipen|epipen]] to stabilize someone who's in crit.
# Using an empty hand, click on your backpack, then click + drag the box inside to your character's sprite. This will open the box.
# Take the breath mask and put it on your mask [[File:Hud-Mask.png]] slot (press the equipment [[File:Hud-inventory.png]] icon to see it).
# Take the O2 tank and put it in one of your pockets. This leaves your hands free for other tasks.
# Press the internals [[File:Gmaskinternalsicon.gif]] icon to turn on your air supply.

This will keep you breathing clean air - make sure to avoid exposure to a vacuum for too long, and watch your air tank's supply in the Status bar!

|[[File:Backpack.png]]'''1. Inventory Management:'''
:The inventory system is a little unintuitive at first, but once you figure it out, it'll stay with you.
:Items in the game have 4 different "weight classes," tiny, small, normal, and bulky. These weight classes determine in which storage slots it can fit in, and what they can't fit in.
:If you are wearing a jumpsuit, the two item storage slots to the rightmost of your screen are your pockets. These pockets can only store tiny items.
:Your hands are where you can grab items and interact with them.
:Your back is where you should have your backpack. Your backpack is your main storage space, but it can only fit a limited amount of items. You can stuff tiny, small, and normal classed items into your backpack. However, normal classed items will take up more storage space than a tiny classed item.
:Your belt is where you store your toolbelt, (if you are an [[engineer]]), your gun, or a variety of other different items, which range from swords to defibrillators.
:The items which you can fit in your suit storage (on the leftmost of your screen, below your gloves) depend on the uniform you are wearing. For example, a hardsuit would allow you to fit an oxygen tank in there, whilst an armor vest would allow you to fit a taser in there.
|-
|[[File:Nuvola apps important.svg|25px]]'''2. Hazards:'''
:<s>A good start to reacting against someone beating your teeth in is by screaming ";HELP <LOCATION NAME> <GUY BEATING YOU UP> IS A [[Jobs#Antagonists|<TRAITOR/LING/WHATEVER>]]. This allows security to flag that guy down as arrest, which means that if a security officer encounters that person again, they see an arrest overlay.</s>
:Try running away instead of fighting unless you are a security officer, remember 99% of the time you aren't a trained combatant and should try contacting security instead of just screaming that theres an antagonist in your exact location

:[[Random events#Radiation Storm|Radiation Storm:]] A message stating '''''"High levels of radiation detected near the station. Maintenance is best shielded from radiation."''''' will broadcast. Normally, if the heads are competent, a station-wide emergency will then be declared opening up maintenance even if you don't have access. All you have to do now is mill in maintenance until the radiation storm passes over.
:If there's cries of revolutionaries or a cult, [[Blood Cult|blood]] or [[Clockwork Cult|otherwise]] over the radio, it's probably in your best interests to secure a pair of sunglasses and head towards security to get implanted (or baton "unconverted"). It's not unknown for security to become particularly trigger-happy towards unimplanted crewmembers.

== What Jobs to Take After Your First Round ==
The best beginner jobs are ones where no one is going to come to you asking for something you don't really understand. assistant is the best because no one expects anything at all from you. You are free to explore and play with the controls. However once you get a grip on the controls is recommended to move to a job where still no one expects anything, but that have a designated objective. The recommended assistant ''plus'' roles are:
* [[Janitor]]: People will expect nothing from you except maybe that you clean the floor.
* [[Curator]]: The library is practically abandoned. Play with board games and painting. Organize books. Get fun loot from your curator beacon.
* [[Cargo Technician|Cargo Tech]]: Move crates until you die. It is said that all SS13 journeys begin and end in cargo. This is because cargo is of vital importance to several game modes. As a CT you will get to see the flow of these rounds first hand. However, your job will still remain to be just moving crates.
After that it's time to move on to some real roles. Funnily enough, the best way to learn these roles is to sign up as an assistant again. You are going to use this role as intended and actually assist some departments. Going to the [[Head of Personnel|HoP]] or whatever place you want to learn about and asking nicely for someone to teach you is a very effective way to learn. The [[Head of Personnel|HoP]] can even give you custom job titles like "medical intern" or "brig receptionist". Job that are good for this are: [[Medical Doctor]], [[Scientist]], [[Station Engineer]]... This is also the best way to dip your toes safely into being a [[Security Officer]]. Be careful, because it's very easy to play security poorly, and [[Shitcurity|letting the power get to your head is a bad idea]].

Avoid joke roles such as the [[Clown]] or [[Mime]] at first. Many players find harassing the on board entertainment much more fun than any jokes the clown might otherwise have.

After some time, when you're confident enough in your combat abilities, you should enable antagonists within your game preferences, so that you can roll for antag when the shift starts. A good half of the game is arguably being an antag and beating everyone up. Don't be scared that you will be a bad antag. Due to the fact that you can't predict what or when it will happen everyone was a painfully obvious antag at one point. It's just how the game works. You should however avoid team antag roles. [[Blood Cult|Blood cult]], blood brothers, [[Revolutionary|revolutions]], [[Clockwork Cult|clock cultists]], [[Nuclear Operative|nuclear operatives]], [[Xenomorph|xenomoprhs]]... The most common and "safe" antag options to dip you toes in are [[Traitor]] and [[Changeling]].

OOC

2023-06-18T13:36:16Z

Wrill: Gameplay questions should be mhelped.

The concept of Out-of-Character knowledge is nothing new to roleplaying games; simply put, if it's something your character wouldn't know, you cannot use that information to influence your actions.

If you've never roleplayed before, IC stands for "In-Character". The concept is that your knowledge and your character's knowledge are separate; you might know that, say, welding masks prevent being turned into a revolutionary, but your character doesn't necessarily know that. Using anything you've overheard in OOC channel in character can be a reason to be banned.
==OOC channel==
SS13 comes with a pre-built OOC channel, accessed simply by using the command 'OOC "text"'. OOC is for asking simple, non-game mode questions. What you have to remember is that no in-character information can be stated in OOC. This means no asking questions about what kind of round it is, no getting pissy over dying, or even mentioning that you're dead.

That said, here's some examples.
===OOC channel is for:===
* Asking (hypothetical) questions. Gameplay questions pertaining to whatever it is you're presently doing should be mentorhelped.
* Talking about something completely unrelated to the game, in moderation.
* Talking about recent updates, in moderation.
* Throwing about ideas for the game.
Examples:

'''"How does the microwave work?"''' This is okay, as long as it's not too specific.

'''"I gotta sleep bai"''' Okay. Good night!

===OOC channel is NEVER for:===
* Mentioning '''anything''' related to the ongoing round.
* Bitching about your [[ghost|death]] and/or mentioning who [[Terminology|killed]] you.
* Saying '''anything''' that might not be public knowledge out-of-game.
Examples:

'''"Oh man the clown is so funny"''' Not okay. While this is totally non-useful information, it does talk about the current round. It's perfectly ok to talk about this on the normal radio channels in-game, though!

'''"I'm the changeling!"''' No. This reveals the round type (changeling) to everyone.

'''"What do I do with a tome?"''' No. This also reveals the round type (cult) to everyone.

'''"FUCKING THING SUCKS!!!"''' No. This might seem harmless and indirect, but it does hint everyone that you've probably been killed. Leave ranting for deadchat.

'''"Hahahaha nice CentCom announcement."''' No. Even if an announcement like this is visible for the lobby, it still involves talking about the round and is likely to start a chain reaction of other people talking about the round. Just don't do it.

A good rule of thumb is if someone not playing the round or involved in a scene can still tell what's happening, it's IC in OOC. If you ever have to question whether or not you should say it; '''DON'T FUCKING SAY IT.'''
==OOC in IC==
Out-Of-Character in In-Character occurs when:
* Taking grudges from round to round (VERY frowned upon). Rounds are to be seen as not connected in any way.
* Rage killing because of a previous round.
* Using any knowledge heard outside of normal game speak to your advantage.
* Talking about mechanical or metagame concepts in game, such as damage scores or the idea of "rounds".
* Saying things like "it's rev" or "it's nuke opps," where "it" refers to the roundtype.
* Using smileys and chatspeak, such as XD, :^) or ayy lmao, in in-character chat.
* Referencing someone's ckey or OOC persona in-game while dealing with their character
'''DON'T DO ANY OF THIS SHIT. YOU COULD VERY WELL RUIN THE ROUND VERY QUICKLY, AND/OR EAT A BAN!'''
==Deadchat==
If you've died and the temptation to vent about it is too great to resist, deadchat (accessed via "say" whilst a ghost) is the place to do it. Ghosts are already privy to everything that is going on in the station and it is already common practice, live players cannot hear your ramblings. Other meta concepts tend to be discussed here. '''But keep in mind that using knowledge attained as a ghost if you return to the round in any way, such as via cloning or ghost roles, is a very frowned upon form of meta-gaming.'''

Mood

2023-05-22T14:35:18Z

Wrill: Explained the new calculation for sanity. I had no idea there was a wiki page for this when I changed it.

== Mood & Sanity ==
'''Mood''' reflects how happy your character is in Space Station 13, and changes dynamically based on things that happen to or around you that would realistically impact it. Mood has significant effects on gameplay; as bad mood will decrease, and good mood will increase your sanity. '''Sanity''' has various effects depending on its state. Good sanity has effects such as making you hungry less fast, and allowing you to perform certain actions faster. However, if your sanity is low, you might have trouble focusing, perform actions more slowly, and even walk at a shuffle.

Sanity changes by 5% of your mood every second, meaning high mood will give you high sanity, and vice versa. Sanity also has a modifier, referred to as "Natural Change". Natural change simply nudges your sanity to move towards just below neutral, at varying speeds, in practice this just means you need very low mood to reach very low sanity and vice versa.

You can see the current status of your character by clicking on the HUD icon on your screen which resembles a face.

[[File:MoodExplained.png]]
== Moodlets ==

A mood event is called a ''moodlet''. In simple terms, your overall mood is directly related to the moodlets you have. Each moodlet has a modifier and sometimes a time; modifiers are the amount of mood that the event will add or remove, and it will do these for as long as its time has not expired, or the event hasn't ended. For instance, if a moodlet has a modifier of +1 for 3 minutes, you will have that slight boost to your mood for three minutes, but once this time has ended, you will not, or if you enter an ugly room, you will gain a bad moodlet until you leave the room.

Many actions and factors play into different moodlets, from something as simple as petting a corgi to something more complex like how filthy your surroundings are. As a rule of thumb, taking care of yourself and treating your body well will make you happier, while neglecting needs such as hunger and getting very hurt will make you sad.

Some traits also modify moods in some way. Jolly and Depressed will make you randomly happier or sadder with no prompting, and Apathetic will reduce all mood impacts by 20%.

== Mood Thresholds ==

There are nine different mood thresholds that allow you to see your general morale state as an icon on your HUD:

{| class="wikitable" border="3" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5"
! style='background-color:#DDDDDD;' width='32px'|Icon

== Sanity Thresholds ==
Similar to mood, Sanity has 6 thresholds which can be reached.

|- style="text-align: center;"
|Unstable

| -0.2
| I have been feeling great lately!
|- style="text-align: center;"
|Great
| 125<
| -0.4
| My mind feels like a temple!
|-
|}
== Sanity Effects ==

Sanity has notable effects on your character:
* Very sad characters will move more slowly.
* The screen will become progressively more blurred as you become more sad, to represent inability to focus.
* Action speeds vary with mood, up to a maximum of -25% speed for the severely depressed and +10% speed for the very happy.
* Hunger rate is proportional to mood. Depression will spurn you to eat more, while contentedness will make you eat less.

Guide to hydroponics

2023-02-27T15:17:11Z

Wrill: Bluespace bananas don't have singulo.

[[File:Hydroponics.png|frame|right|Hydroponics. This is your home.]]
== Basics of Botany ==
[[Hydroponics]] and the [[Botanist]]s who work there are important to the station, especially in longer rounds. Botanists grow plants that the [[Chef]] can use for food. Without botany, the station will have to live off of beef jerky and space twinkies, or starve to death.
=== Your Area ===
Hydroponics is divided into two rooms. The big section is where you'll spend most of your time growing goods. Trays are available where you grow plants and two vending machines, one with seeds and the other with miscellaneous items such as nutrients and tools for your job. The bio-generator can be used to grind plants and produce things for the station. In tandem is the seed dispenser used to reproduce your product. The northern area is where you can grab most of the equipment needed to work in botany.

Plants require nutrients (fertilizer) and water to grow. They are also bothered by pests and weeds. 
Trays come equipped with lights that flash specific colors to tell you what's happening with your plant.

From left to right -
* '''Green''': Ready to harvest.
* '''Red''': Low health, caused by weeds/pests/toxins/end of lifespan.
* '''Orange''': High weed level.
* '''Yellow''': Low nutrients.
* '''Blue''': Low water.
Tools that are of use in botany -
* {{anchor|Plant_Analyzer}}'''Plant Analyzer''': Shows detailed detailed plant statistics. Very useful for growing fragile plants like Ambrosia Deus.
* {{anchor|Cultivator}}'''Cultivator''': Kills Weeds.
* '''Plant Bag''': Collects up to 100 harvested plants or seeds from your harvest. Useful for moving those into the fridge or biogenerator.
* '''Wrench''': Used to move your trays around.
* '''Wirecutters''': Used to set up the irrigation system. If 30u or more of water is put into trays while the irrigation is set up, water will be shared across trays. This will also distribute things like mutagen and plant killer.
* {{anchor|Hatchet}}'''Hatchet''': Chops tower-caps into planks, chops other things. This is also a robust tool that fits in pockets.
* {{anchor|Shovel}}'''Shovel''': Digs up grass floors and cleans dirt.
* {{anchor|Spade}}'''Spade''': Removes and destroys plants in a tray.
* '''All-In-One Grinder''': This is how you extract reagents from plants - throw them in and hit the "grind" button.
* '''Portable Seed Extractor''': This can harvest and pick up plants and turn up to 100 plants into seeds. Less efficient than the machine.
=== [[File:Seed_Extractor.gif|Seed Extractor]] Plant growing 101 ===
Take some seeds from the vendor and put them into the trays. Now, take a look at the tray with a plant analyzer. For now, you only need to pay attention to the bottom five stats - '''Water/Nutrition''' and '''Weeds/Toxic/Pest''' levels. 
Now, fill a bucket from the water tank and grab fertilizer from the vending machine. You get rid of weeds with the cultivator and remove pests with pest spray. [[Chemistry]] can give you better chemicals for this, which will be explained later in the guide. 
Some plants have a varied growth times, such as wheat growing faster while watermelons or apple trees take a little longer before you can harvest from them. 
Once your tray flashes green, you're set to harvest. If you want to replicate the plant to continue growing more, just insert it into the seed extractor. 
You can click seeds with a pen to change the name of the plant, the seed's description, or the plant's description. After planting in a hydroponics tray the tray updates with the name and description of the plant inside it.
=== [[File:Biogenerator.gif|Bio-generator]] Biogenerator ===
The Biogenerator makes items out of the nutriment in plants. As a rule of thumb: More nutriment = more biomass. Watermelons and pumpkins are commonly used due to their 20% nutriment boost [[#Traits|trait]]. 
To get biomass, grab a spare bucket and equip the machine with it, then use the plant bag to put fruits inside. 
If you somehow run out of fertilizer in the vendors, remember you can print the three standard fertilizers here. Keep in mind that you can craft a whole bunch of useful items from the leather/cloth sheets the biogenerator creates.
=== [[File:plant dna manip.gif]]DNA Extractor ===
The DNA extractor allows you to extract and modify seed stats and [[#Traits|traits]]. This machine is what lets you become a [[Chemist]] on speed.

This is a little complex, so look at: [[Guide_to_hydroponics#Advanced_Botany|Advanced Botany]]
== Stats, reagents and traits ==
Three things determine how your plant will turn out: Their '''stats''', '''reagents''' and '''[[#Traits|traits]]'''.
=== Stats ===
Stats determine whether your plants are small and grow slowly, or are big and fast-growing.
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed">
Click expand to see what stats do:
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
* '''Potency''': The most important stat (0 to 100). This affects the amount of chemicals in the plant, though some have additional effects, such as stun length for bananas. 
To get the amount of a given chemical in a plant, multiply the reagent in the chart by the potency: for example, 10% nutriment will be 5 nutriment at 50 potency.
* '''Yield''': How much product you get each harvest. Between 0 and 10. Pay attention to this, because if it drops to 0, you won't harvest anything.
* '''Production Speed''': How fast your plant reaches harvest. Between 1 and 10 -- the '''lower''' the faster. The plant has to wait (Production Speed) age cycles before each harvest.
* '''Maturation Speed''': Age cycles before the plant can start production. The first harvest will be (Maturation Speed + Production Speed).
* '''Lifespan''': When the age is above lifespan, the plant starts losing health. Between 10 and 100. Only important for plants with the Perennial Growth [[#Traits|trait]].
* '''Age''': Age of the plant. Only relevant in terms of the lifespan stat.
* '''Endurance''': Max health. Between 10 and 100. Not very useful, unless you leave your garden often.
* '''Weed growth rate''': Determines how quickly weeds grow in the plant tray. Only relevant with very high values.
* '''Weed vulnerability''': The higher, the more easily a plant is overtaken by weeds. Only relevant with very high values.

=== Reagents/Content ===
This determines what chemicals are present in a grown plant - the [[Guide_to_hydroponics#Advanced_Botany|DNA extractor]] lets you extract and splice these. 
With a bit of creativity, you can mix your own mutagen, produce unique healing chemicals or turn tomatoes into napalm grenades. Solid [[Guide_to_chemistry|Chemistry]] knowledge will help you out immensely. 
For a detailed list, check out: [[Guide_to_hydroponics#Plant reference chart|Plant reference chart]]
=== Traits ===
Traits give your plants unique properties. There are plenty - Perennial Growth for example lets you harvest plants multiple times. 
These can be transferred, just like reagents.

|-
!{{anchor|Bioluminescence}}Bioluminescence
|Causes the plant to glow a slightly yellowish color. Varieties include: [[Guide_to_hydroponics#Shadowshroom|Shadow Emission (Creates shadows instead of light)]], [[Guide_to_hydroponics#Glow-berry|White (Extra bright)]], [[Guide_to_hydroponics#Glowcap|Red]], [[Guide_to_hydroponics#Holymelon|Yellow (Much yellower)]], [[Guide_to_hydroponics#Omega weed|Green]], [[Guide_to_hydroponics#Fairy Grass|Blue]], [[Guide_to_hydroponics#Moonflower|Purple]], [[Guide_to_hydroponics#Cherry Bulb|Pink]]
|-
!{{anchor|Bluespace Activity}}Bluespace Activity
|Gives the plant bluespace properties, making it teleport people hit if the plant has Liquid Contents, and on slip if it has Slippery Skin. Max radius is determined by potency.
|-
!{{anchor|Capacitive Cell Production}}Capacitive Cell Production
|Plants with this trait can be made into batteries with the addition of wire. Electrical Activity increases the cell's maximum charge.
|-
!{{anchor|Carnivory}}Obligate Carnivory
|Makes the plant heal from pests instead of taking damage from them.
|-
!{{anchor|Densified Chemicals}}Densified Chemicals
|Doubles the reagent capacity of the plant. Keep in mind that reagent traits will still add a fixed amount to the plant (this just increases how much can fit in it).
|-
!{{anchor|Electrical Activity}}Electrical Activity
|Gives the plant electrical charge, making it recharge batteries when eaten; it will also have a chance (Potency * 0.2) to electrocute on slip if it also has Slippery Skin and on hit if it has Liquid Contents.
|-
!{{anchor|Fire Resistance}}Fire Resistance
|Makes the seeds and produce fireproof.
|-
!{{anchor|Fungal Vitality}}Fungal Vitality
|The plant acquires mushroom-like properties, removing the need for water and greatly reducing damage from lack of light. Minimum yield is always 1 and the tray can't be overtaken by weeds.
|-
!{{anchor|Gaseous Decomposition}}Gaseous Decomposition
|Plants with this trait emit a smoke cloud when squashed, spewing reagents everywhere. Requires Liquid Contents to be useful.
|-
!{{anchor|Hypodermic Prickles}}Hypodermic Prickles
|Plants with this trait will sting when thrown (or slipped on with Liquid Contents), transferring a portion of their chemicals to the target.
|-
!{{anchor|Invasive Spreading}}Invasive Spreading
|Plants with this trait will invade adjacent trays and destroy other plants growing there. Will not overwrite plants of the same species.
|-
!{{anchor|Liquid Contents}}Liquid Contents
|Causes the plant to squash when thrown or slipped on (Slippery Skin), applying the reagents inside on the target and destroying the plant.
|-
!{{anchor|Perennial Growth}}Perennial Growth
|Plants with this trait don't die on harvest (and can be harvested multiple times).
|-
!{{anchor|Slippery Skin}}Slippery Skin
| Causes the plant, or any products of the plant, to become slippery. The stun time is (Potency * 0.08), divided by 3 unless the plant has lube or is a banana. Maximum stun is 7 seconds. Triggers Hypodermic Prickes and Liquid Contents when combined with them.
|-
!{{anchor|Weed Adaptation}}Weed Adaptation
|The plant acquires weed-like properties, removing the need for nutrients. Plant growth doesn't get slowed by weeds and the tray can't be overtaken by them.

==[[File:Vendnutri.gif]] Chemicals==
A lot of chemicals influence plants - get these from the vending machine, [[Chemistry]] or by growing your own!
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-uncollapsed">
Click expand to see a list of chemicals:
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
===Fertilizers===
*Nutriment: A fertilizer that adds 1 nutrient to the tray and heals the plant 0.5 health per unit added. You can get it by putting your plants and regular food in the grinder.
*[[Ammonia]]: Similar to nutriment, but also increases yield (25u to increase 1 yield). Get it from the [[Chemist]] or hack the Nutri-Vend to get this.
*[[Diethylamine]]: Adds 2 nutrient to the tray, heals the plant 1 health per unit added and increases yield (50u to increase 1 yield). Also kills pests. Get it the same way you get Ammonia.
*Saltpetre: Heals your plant, increases potency and decreases production time. Doesn't add nutrient to the tray.
*Robust Harvest: Adds 1 nutrient to the tray per unit, and permanently increases plant yield of the tray 30% (without mutating the plant). Doesn't work on plants with 0 yield. A tray can only have the modifiers of one of the three special fertilizers at a time (Robust Harvest, E-Z-Nutrient and Left 4 Zed).
===Pest Removal ===
*Pest Killer: Kills pests, and adds a small amount of toxicity.
*Weed Killer: Same as above, but for Weeds.
=== Mutation===
*E-Z-Nutrient: Makes your plant mutate once every time it's ready for harvesting, and resets the tray's yield modifier to x1 (if another special fertilizer had previously been used on the tray). A tray can only have the modifiers of one of the three special fertilizers at a time (Robust Harvest, E-Z-Nutrient and Left 4 Zed).
*Left 4 Zed: Makes your plant mutate twice, but the yield will permanently be 1 at best. If the plant's yield is 0, then nothing is produced! You'll have to use another mutagen to harvest the normal yield of the plant. A tray can only have the modifiers of one of the three special fertilizers at a time (Robust Harvest, E-Z-Nutrient and Left 4 Zed).
*[[Unstable Mutagen]]: Used to randomly mutate plants - 5u for a chance to change the plant type, 1u/2u to only change stats.
*Radium and Uranium: Also usable for mutation (10u for plant type, 2u/5u for stats), but damages plants and adds toxicity. Radium is more damaging.
===Plant Meds ===
*[[Ash]]: Adds 0.5 nutrient to the tray, heals the plant 0.25 health per unit added and kills weeds.
*[[Guide_to_chemistry#Multiver|charcoal]]: Makes your plant less toxic. You can get it by whining to anyone who works in [[Medbay]].
*[[Cryoxadone]]: Heals your plant, via <s>miracles</s> science. Also lowers toxicity. Don't expect the [[Chemist]] to give this to you, but the medbay probably has extra beakers of this.
*Holy water: If you can get the [[Chaplain]]'s attention and make him bless your water, it will heal your plant a bit.
===Unorthodox chemicals===
*Soda Water: Mostly adds water, but also heals the plant and adds nutrient to the tray by a tiny amount.
* Milk: Adds some water and a tiny but of nutrient to the tray.
*Beer: Adds a bit of water and nutrient to the tray, but damages the plant a little.
*Blood: Feeds both your plant and pests.
*Virus Food: Adds nutrient to the tray while damaging the plant.
* Nicotine: Kills pests while adding toxicity.
===The bad stuff===
*Sugar: Makes pests and weeds grow stronger. Unless you [[Traitor|plan to use unstable mutagen to unleash giant spiders or Kudzu upon the station]], it's of no use.
*Toxin: Increases toxicity. Good job!
*Plant-B-Gone, Sulphuric Acid, Fluorosulfuric Acid: Damages the plant, adds toxicity and kills weeds. What do you think would happen?
*Fluorine, Chlorine: Same as above, but also drains water.
*Phosphorus: Same as Flourine/Chlorine, but adds nutrients to the tray instead of toxicity. Just use a spade.
*Napalm: Kills weeds, hurts plant and adds toxicity. This is just going downhill. Unless your plant has the fireproof [[#Traits|trait]], you might as well space the whole tray. On fireproof plants it will just kill weeds.
*[[Guide_to_chemistry#Strange_Reagent|Strange Reagent]]: Is supposed to spawn hostile plant creatures but currently doesn't work.

==[[File:Apiary.png|Beekeeping]] [[Beekeeping]]==
Bees greatly increase plant yield, potency and the probability of you getting lynched. Great stuff, and very useful even if you're no traitor!

[[File:Bee.gif]] [[Beekeeping|For more info, click here for the guide on beepeeking.]] [[File:Bee.gif]]

==Advanced Botany==
This is where you get to PLAY GOD and mess with the stats, reagents and [[#Traits|traits]] of plants. 
===Using the DNA manipulator===
1. Go to the locker in the back and take out the box of plant data disks. 
2. Load a disk into the machine along with any seed of choice. 
3. Extract any gene, this will destroy the seed and save it to the disk. 
4. Put in another seed. 
5. You can now modify the seed's stats and genes based on what's on the plant data disk. 
Obviously, this can be quite powerful in the right hands, and even for more basic tasks it can be a major boon.

It is worth noting, however, that the DNA manipulator has an upper limit on how high a stat can be when you try to extract it and save it to disk, and any stats higher than that will be brought down to that cap. Though these caps can be lowered or eliminated if you can get RnD to upgrade your machine, at round-start the caps are very bad, with certain stats like production speed being capped at a level worse than what nearly every plant has initially. [[#Traits|Traits]], on the other hand, can be extracted just fine no matter what parts are used.

Useful genes from default seeds:
*Wheat has a production speed of 1, the fastest possible.
*Tower-caps have very long lifespans (around 80), as well as potency and endurance stats of 50.
* Tobacco plants have a yield of 10, the cap for that stat.
*Apples have the perennial growth [[#Traits|trait]], which allows for you to get multiple harvests from a single plant.
*Watermelon has an endurance nearly on par with tower-caps, making it a good substitute when starting out so you can avoid using up all of your starting tower-cap seeds.
Some genes are unextractable.
 
===Mutations===
You can mutate plants to A) change stats or B) mutate them into a different subspecies. To do this in a timely manner, you'll need to work with the [[Chemistry]] department.
*The agonizingly slow way is using '''E-Z Nutriment''' to make the plant mutate once every time it's ready to harvest. '''Left 4 Zed''' makes it mutate twice, but kills the yield!

*You can speed up the process to bearable levels by asking your local [[Chemist]] for a few bottles of '''[[Guide_to_chemistry#Unstable Mutagen|Unstable Mutagen]]'''. 
Pour 5 units on your plant and prepare for...
*10% chance of '''mutation into a related species'''. This destroys the old plant and plants a new one. See the [[Guide_to_hydroponics#Plant reference chart|Plant reference chart]] for information on these mutations.
*10% chance of the '''plant losing lots of health instantly'''. The plant can die because of this
* 15% chance of '''heavy stat mutation''' with a 3% chance of a new [[#Traits|trait]] appearing.
* 15% chance of '''normal stat mutation'''.
*20% chance of '''nothing'''. You get a message when this happens.
*10% chance of '''weeds mutating'''. If weed level is less than 5, nothing happens, otherwise you get a random, special mutated weed (Kudzu, Deathnettle, Destroying Angel, Liberty Cap).
*10% chance of '''pests mutating'''. Again, if pest level is less than 5, nothing happens. Otherwise, spiderlings are spawned.
**This is '''bad'''. If the spiderlings escape, they'll grow big and you'll likely get lynched.
Or, if you don't want to bother with species mutation, pour 2 units for a guaranteed heavy stat mutation with a 3% chance of a new [[#Traits|trait]] appearing, or even 1 for a guaranteed normal stat mutation. This method is safe even if you don't have backup seeds, and you can use a bottle for it.
*You can use '''radium''' and '''uranium''', but they cause ill effects, and if you can get radium, you can get mutagen.

*R&D can also research a wonderful thing called a '''Floral Somatoray'''. It has two options: increase yield and mutate the plant. In yield more mode, every time you fire it at the plant, there is a chance the yield will increase. The chance becomes very small when you reach high levels, but it's very useful for low-yield plants. It can even raise yield from zero! In mutation mode, it will always induce a normal stat mutation.
===Fixing awful stats===
Mutating plants has a chance of really ruining stats. Luckily, there are a few ways to fix them:
*Unstable Mutagen. Using 1u slightly changes stats, 2u has more drastic effects.
*Saltpetre. Increases potency and decreases production time.
*Ammonia. Increases yield.
* Floral Somatoray. Increases yield and works as a substitute for Unstable Mutagen.

Trays, whether empty or occupied by plants, can be occasionally overtaken by a weed if their level is 5 or more. In that case the old plant is destroyed, and a new one will sprout in its place.

Possible plants include:
*1/6 chance for Reishi/Starshittle.
*1/9 chance for Nettle/Harebell/Amanita/Chanterelle/Tower Cap/Plump Helmets
Using 5u of unstable mutagen on high weed level trays results in different plants:
* Kudzu, Deathnettle, Destroying Angel, Liberty Cap
==Other Notes==
===[[file:Bottle.png]] Growing your own mutagen===
Don't have access to a botanical chem dispenser? Try this.
*First, plant pumpkins and mutate them into blumpkins.
*Now, insert their Chlorine production [[#Traits|trait]] into glowshrooms and remove the Nutriment one.
*That's it! You now have a plant that grows unstable mutagen - just pop the produce into the grinder.
*You might want to add Perennial Growth to optimize your harvest.
===[[file:Ambrosia_gaia.png]] Upgrading plant trays===
Composting enough plants that contain Earthsblood (20 units from plants like [[#Ambrosia gaia|Ambrosia Gaia]]) into a tray will give it a golden shine. Now it will no longer require water, fertilizer or weed/pest removal.

This is great in combination with plants that have the Perennial Growth [[#Traits|trait]]! A lot of Botanists will upgrade their trays before getting started with actual hydroponics.

Upgraded trays permanently contain the last fertilizer you used before the upgrade. Robust Harvest is usually the best choice.

Instead of keeping the original Gaia plant that most likely has gimped stats - insert the Earthsblood production [[#Traits|trait]] into a more robust plant.

If your DNA extractor hasn't been upgraded yet: Wheat has a production speed of 1 and good overall stats. If you're lucky, your station will have 50 potency Wheat bushels just lying around at roundstart.

You can speed up the process by removing all contents but Earthsblood production and adding the Densified Chemicals (Redbeet) [[#Traits|trait]].
===[[file:Replicapodplant.png]] Replica Pod Cloning===
Replica pods can be used to grow dead people back to life - even when their brain and head are missing.

To clone someone, follow these simple steps:
* Take a blood sample from the body using a syringe.
*Inject it into the bag of seeds.
*Plant the seeds.
*Let the plant grow and then harvest it.
*If the ghost of the corpse is still online, and did not turn on "Do not Resuscitate", that person will be cloned as a [[Podman]].
*If there was no ghost available, the resulting harvest will simply produce a new pack of seeds.
The [[Podman|podmen]] are a little different from normal humans. E.g. they regenerate in light but suffer in darkness and don't get attacked by bees.

Cabbage can be mutated into Replica Pod.
===Strange Seeds===
Strange seeds (from hacked vendors or cargo crates) have completely random reagents and [[#Traits|traits]].

Notable examples are:
*Gaseous Decomposition
*Nitroglycerin
*Microbes (Fungal Tuberculosis)
*Any drink, like Gin Tonic or Beepsky Smash
*Glitter
*Plasmaman Mutation Toxin
*Hell Water
Of course, this is pretty gimmicky and unreliable.
===[[file:Kudzuplant.png]] Kudzu {{anchor|Kudzu}}===
Kudzu is a weed that can appear when adding 5u [[Guide_to_chemistry#Unstable Mutagen|Unstable Mutagen]] to a tray with a weed level of 5 or above. The tray version of kudzu will grow normally in its tray. When harvested it will produce kudzu pods [[File:Kudzu.png]]. The kudzu pod is like any other fruit/vegetable and can be eaten or grinded. To create wild-spreading kudzu, you must put a kudzu pod into a seed extractor, which will create packs of kudzu seeds [[File:Kudzuseed.png]]. Then activate a kudzu seed in your hand to start planting wild-spreading kudzu on the floor. 
Some plant stats will affect the wild-spreading version of kudzu in specific ways:
* Potency of the seed will make kudzu mutate more on spread, the chance to mutate on each new piece is '''[potency / 10]'''
*Production will affect how fast the kudzu can spread, usual kudzu spreads at a rate of 20% of the amount of pieces per tick but no more than 30, production changes the cap '''[30 * production / 50]''' and the percent of processed pieces per tick '''[20 * (production / 50)]'''
Killing the last piece of kudzu will create a kudzu seed in its place with all the ackumulated mutations saved in the seed. So if you reactivate it, the new kudzu on the floor will have all the same mutations the seed had, and will spread it to all its progenitors. You can examine a wild kudzu to see what mutations it has. When mutating it typically changes color. 
Kudzu can gain mutations only on spread, here is the list of all of them:
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed">
Click expand to see Kudzu [[#Traits|traits]] and mutations:
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
*'''CO2 consumption''' - ''positive'' mutation, consumes CO2 from the air
*<s>'''Space covering''' - ''positive'' mutation, makes vines grow vine floors over space</s> Removed as of August 23 2017.
*'''Light''' - ''positive'' mutation, about 40% of the vines with this mutation emit light slightly more powerful than PDA
*'''Transparency''' - ''positive'' mutation, makes vines look-through
*'''Toxins consumption''' - ''positive'' mutation, absorbs plasma from the air
*<s>'''Bluespace vines''' - ''minor negative'' mutation, makes vines be able to grow through anything</s> Removed as of August 23 2017.
*'''Explosive''' - ''minor negative'' mutation, on death vines with this mutation explode with 0,0,2 power, so clusters of this vine will chain-explode one after another
*'''Fire resistant''' - ''minor negative'' mutation, makes vines ignore fire damage, be it plasma fires or welders
*'''Vine eating''' - ''minor negative'' mutation, vines with this mutation will eat vines without it
*'''Toxicity''' - ''negative'' mutation, eating vine with this mutation or walking thought it will cause you toxin damage
*'''Aggressive spreading''' - ''negative'' mutation, on spreading vines will cause effect of mini-explosion on the tile they spread to, mobs buckled by this vine will also experience effects akin to minor explosion
*'''O2 consumption''' - ''negative'' mutation, absorbs O2 from the air around
*'''N2 consumption''' - ''negative'' mutation, absorbs N2 from the air
*'''Thorns''' - ''negative'' mutation, makes mobs touching or going through vines recieve physical damage
*'''Hardening''' - ''negative'' mutation, makes vines not die fast from sharp objects, but makes non-sharp objects(hands included) be more effective agaisnt them, on the full maturation block the passage
*'''Flowering''' - ''negative'' mutation, makes vines very entangly and spawns harmful flowers occasionally, flowers after destruction spawn flower mob that is agressive and attacks

Adding special chemicals to the tray when the seeds are growing will affect the specific kudzu mutations:
*Adding ''5u'' of '''welding fuel''' will remove random ''positive'' mutation with a ''20%'' probability
* Adding ''5u'' of '''phenol''' will remove a random ''minor negative'' mutation with a ''20%'' probability
*Adding ''5u'' of '''sterilizine''' will remove a random ''negative'' mutation with a ''20%'' probability
*Adding ''15u'' of '''blood''' will change the production value of the seeds by a random number in the range from ''-5 to +15''
*Adding ''5u'' of '''amatoxin''' will change the production value of the seeds by a random number in the range from ''-15 to +5''
*Adding ''5u'' of '''plasma''' will change the potency value of the seeds by a random number in the range from ''-15 to +5''
*Adding ''10u'' of '''holy water''' will change a potency value of the seeds by a random number in the range from ''-5 to +15''

=== Sandstone and Soil===
If you pick up the grass and use it (click on it in your hand), you will prepare astroturf. Get a crowbar and remove some floor tiles, then place astroturf in their place. In addition to looking nice, it can be used to get some sand. Just dig it with your spade and you'll get two piles. Now, pick up the sand and use it; you will make a sandstone brick. Using three bricks, you can make a soil plot, which is like a tray, except you can walk over it and there are no lights. You can also build a sandstone door with 10 bricks.

Science can [[Guide_to_advanced_construction#Hydroponics_Tray|build]] hydroponics trays. They can also upgrade them by replacing the matter bins, and this increases the water and nutrient capacity of the tray.
===Wood and Drying Racks===
First you need to get some tower-caps, grow them and harvest them. You can then use hatchet (and some other things, but it's not important) on the logs to chop some planks. They have many uses: you can make chairs, tables, wooden floors and so on. A unique thing here is a drying rack. You can use it to dry a plant, and then smoke it. First, build a rack with 10 planks. Then, grab a plant you want to dry and put it in the rack. Click on the rack and toggle drying so that the red arrows light up. Give it a few seconds and it's done.

Note: you can dry ''any'' plant, and smoking it will give you all chemicals that were in it. You can smoke dried apples if you want, and get nutriment from them.

===[[File:Wooden_barrel.png]] Fermentation Barrel===
You can craft wooden barrels with the crafting menu (under tribal), which requires 30 wood planks [[File:Planks.png]]. Clicking it will toggle it between open and closed. When open you can insert plants or liquid. When closed you can draw liquid by using a container on it. 
Inserting a plant into the barrel will ferment the plant after a few seconds (even if not closing it). This will grind the plant, adding all the plant's contained reagents to the barrel. But it can also add an additional reagent depending on plant used. Most plants will create a special [[Guide_to_food_and_drinks#Wine|wine]] with varied boozepower depending on plant used. Some plants will create other reagents than wine, and some plants will not work at all.
===Things You Can Make Out of Your Plants===
*Add some cable to a potato to make a potato battery. Botany cells have potential to be better than bluespace cells.
*Glowberries and glowshrooms, as the name suggests, glow.
*You can carve a pumpkin with a hatchet. Carved pumpkins can be worn and you can toggle them to emit a weak light.
*You can make a cob-pipe out of a corn cob.
*You can carve a carrot with a hatchet to make a shiv. It's not very strong but it's good at slicing things.
*Flowers and ambrosia can be worn on your head.
*Add dried ambrosia, wheat, tea aspera tips or tobacco leaves to a tower cap log to make a torch.
*Dried ambrosia, tobacco or any mutations of those are able to be smoked from wrapping paper, found in smoking vending machines. You can also grind them and put the liquid in an e-cig.
==Todo list for this guide==
*Add missing/fix outdated entries in the plant reference chart
*Add some icons and pictures to break up the wall of text
==Another guide==
Since Botany is relatively easy to learn but hard to master, here is an extra guide that focuses on a more practical, step-by-step point of view.
Also includes a lot of extra "recipes" for what you can turn your plants into.

Guide to hydroponics

2023-02-27T15:12:04Z

Wrill: Removed mention of stealing chem dispensers. Botany gets access to minor botanical versions that provide an infinite supply of mutagen and saltpetre.

[[File:Hydroponics.png|frame|right|Hydroponics. This is your home.]]
== Basics of Botany ==
[[Hydroponics]] and the [[Botanist]]s who work there are important to the station, especially in longer rounds. Botanists grow plants that the [[Chef]] can use for food. Without botany, the station will have to live off of beef jerky and space twinkies, or starve to death.
=== Your Area ===
Hydroponics is divided into two rooms. The big section is where you'll spend most of your time growing goods. Trays are available where you grow plants and two vending machines, one with seeds and the other with miscellaneous items such as nutrients and tools for your job. The bio-generator can be used to grind plants and produce things for the station. In tandem is the seed dispenser used to reproduce your product. The northern area is where you can grab most of the equipment needed to work in botany.

Plants require nutrients (fertilizer) and water to grow. They are also bothered by pests and weeds. 
Trays come equipped with lights that flash specific colors to tell you what's happening with your plant.

From left to right -
* '''Green''': Ready to harvest.
* '''Red''': Low health, caused by weeds/pests/toxins/end of lifespan.
* '''Orange''': High weed level.
* '''Yellow''': Low nutrients.
* '''Blue''': Low water.
Tools that are of use in botany -
* {{anchor|Plant_Analyzer}}'''Plant Analyzer''': Shows detailed detailed plant statistics. Very useful for growing fragile plants like Ambrosia Deus.
* {{anchor|Cultivator}}'''Cultivator''': Kills Weeds.
* '''Plant Bag''': Collects up to 100 harvested plants or seeds from your harvest. Useful for moving those into the fridge or biogenerator.
* '''Wrench''': Used to move your trays around.
* '''Wirecutters''': Used to set up the irrigation system. If 30u or more of water is put into trays while the irrigation is set up, water will be shared across trays. This will also distribute things like mutagen and plant killer.
* {{anchor|Hatchet}}'''Hatchet''': Chops tower-caps into planks, chops other things. This is also a robust tool that fits in pockets.
* {{anchor|Shovel}}'''Shovel''': Digs up grass floors and cleans dirt.
* {{anchor|Spade}}'''Spade''': Removes and destroys plants in a tray.
* '''All-In-One Grinder''': This is how you extract reagents from plants - throw them in and hit the "grind" button.
* '''Portable Seed Extractor''': This can harvest and pick up plants and turn up to 100 plants into seeds. Less efficient than the machine.
=== [[File:Seed_Extractor.gif|Seed Extractor]] Plant growing 101 ===
Take some seeds from the vendor and put them into the trays. Now, take a look at the tray with a plant analyzer. For now, you only need to pay attention to the bottom five stats - '''Water/Nutrition''' and '''Weeds/Toxic/Pest''' levels. 
Now, fill a bucket from the water tank and grab fertilizer from the vending machine. You get rid of weeds with the cultivator and remove pests with pest spray. [[Chemistry]] can give you better chemicals for this, which will be explained later in the guide. 
Some plants have a varied growth times, such as wheat growing faster while watermelons or apple trees take a little longer before you can harvest from them. 
Once your tray flashes green, you're set to harvest. If you want to replicate the plant to continue growing more, just insert it into the seed extractor. 
You can click seeds with a pen to change the name of the plant, the seed's description, or the plant's description. After planting in a hydroponics tray the tray updates with the name and description of the plant inside it.
=== [[File:Biogenerator.gif|Bio-generator]] Biogenerator ===
The Biogenerator makes items out of the nutriment in plants. As a rule of thumb: More nutriment = more biomass. Watermelons and pumpkins are commonly used due to their 20% nutriment boost [[#Traits|trait]]. 
To get biomass, grab a spare bucket and equip the machine with it, then use the plant bag to put fruits inside. 
If you somehow run out of fertilizer in the vendors, remember you can print the three standard fertilizers here. Keep in mind that you can craft a whole bunch of useful items from the leather/cloth sheets the biogenerator creates.
=== [[File:plant dna manip.gif]]DNA Extractor ===
The DNA extractor allows you to extract and modify seed stats and [[#Traits|traits]]. This machine is what lets you become a [[Chemist]] on speed.

This is a little complex, so look at: [[Guide_to_hydroponics#Advanced_Botany|Advanced Botany]]
== Stats, reagents and traits ==
Three things determine how your plant will turn out: Their '''stats''', '''reagents''' and '''[[#Traits|traits]]'''.
=== Stats ===
Stats determine whether your plants are small and grow slowly, or are big and fast-growing.
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed">
Click expand to see what stats do:
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
* '''Potency''': The most important stat (0 to 100). This affects the amount of chemicals in the plant, though some have additional effects, such as stun length for bananas. 
To get the amount of a given chemical in a plant, multiply the reagent in the chart by the potency: for example, 10% nutriment will be 5 nutriment at 50 potency.
* '''Yield''': How much product you get each harvest. Between 0 and 10. Pay attention to this, because if it drops to 0, you won't harvest anything.
* '''Production Speed''': How fast your plant reaches harvest. Between 1 and 10 -- the '''lower''' the faster. The plant has to wait (Production Speed) age cycles before each harvest.
* '''Maturation Speed''': Age cycles before the plant can start production. The first harvest will be (Maturation Speed + Production Speed).
* '''Lifespan''': When the age is above lifespan, the plant starts losing health. Between 10 and 100. Only important for plants with the Perennial Growth [[#Traits|trait]].
* '''Age''': Age of the plant. Only relevant in terms of the lifespan stat.
* '''Endurance''': Max health. Between 10 and 100. Not very useful, unless you leave your garden often.
* '''Weed growth rate''': Determines how quickly weeds grow in the plant tray. Only relevant with very high values.
* '''Weed vulnerability''': The higher, the more easily a plant is overtaken by weeds. Only relevant with very high values.
</div>
</div>
=== Reagents/Content ===
This determines what chemicals are present in a grown plant - the [[Guide_to_hydroponics#Advanced_Botany|DNA extractor]] lets you extract and splice these. 
With a bit of creativity, you can mix your own mutagen, produce unique healing chemicals or turn tomatoes into napalm grenades. Solid [[Guide_to_chemistry|Chemistry]] knowledge will help you out immensely. 
For a detailed list, check out: [[Guide_to_hydroponics#Plant reference chart|Plant reference chart]]
=== Traits ===
Traits give your plants unique properties. There are plenty - Perennial Growth for example lets you harvest plants multiple times. 
These can be transferred, just like reagents.

==[[File:Vendnutri.gif]] Chemicals==
A lot of chemicals influence plants - get these from the vending machine, [[Chemistry]] or by growing your own!
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-uncollapsed">
Click expand to see a list of chemicals:
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
===Fertilizers===
*Nutriment: A fertilizer that adds 1 nutrient to the tray and heals the plant 0.5 health per unit added. You can get it by putting your plants and regular food in the grinder.
*[[Ammonia]]: Similar to nutriment, but also increases yield (25u to increase 1 yield). Get it from the [[Chemist]] or hack the Nutri-Vend to get this.
*[[Diethylamine]]: Adds 2 nutrient to the tray, heals the plant 1 health per unit added and increases yield (50u to increase 1 yield). Also kills pests. Get it the same way you get Ammonia.
*Saltpetre: Heals your plant, increases potency and decreases production time. Doesn't add nutrient to the tray.
*Robust Harvest: Adds 1 nutrient to the tray per unit, and permanently increases plant yield of the tray 30% (without mutating the plant). Doesn't work on plants with 0 yield. A tray can only have the modifiers of one of the three special fertilizers at a time (Robust Harvest, E-Z-Nutrient and Left 4 Zed).
===Pest Removal ===
*Pest Killer: Kills pests, and adds a small amount of toxicity.
*Weed Killer: Same as above, but for Weeds.
=== Mutation===
*E-Z-Nutrient: Makes your plant mutate once every time it's ready for harvesting, and resets the tray's yield modifier to x1 (if another special fertilizer had previously been used on the tray). A tray can only have the modifiers of one of the three special fertilizers at a time (Robust Harvest, E-Z-Nutrient and Left 4 Zed).
*Left 4 Zed: Makes your plant mutate twice, but the yield will permanently be 1 at best. If the plant's yield is 0, then nothing is produced! You'll have to use another mutagen to harvest the normal yield of the plant. A tray can only have the modifiers of one of the three special fertilizers at a time (Robust Harvest, E-Z-Nutrient and Left 4 Zed).
*[[Unstable Mutagen]]: Used to randomly mutate plants - 5u for a chance to change the plant type, 1u/2u to only change stats.
*Radium and Uranium: Also usable for mutation (10u for plant type, 2u/5u for stats), but damages plants and adds toxicity. Radium is more damaging.
===Plant Meds ===
*[[Ash]]: Adds 0.5 nutrient to the tray, heals the plant 0.25 health per unit added and kills weeds.
*[[Guide_to_chemistry#Multiver|charcoal]]: Makes your plant less toxic. You can get it by whining to anyone who works in [[Medbay]].
*[[Cryoxadone]]: Heals your plant, via <s>miracles</s> science. Also lowers toxicity. Don't expect the [[Chemist]] to give this to you, but the medbay probably has extra beakers of this.
*Holy water: If you can get the [[Chaplain]]'s attention and make him bless your water, it will heal your plant a bit.
===Unorthodox chemicals===
*Soda Water: Mostly adds water, but also heals the plant and adds nutrient to the tray by a tiny amount.
* Milk: Adds some water and a tiny but of nutrient to the tray.
*Beer: Adds a bit of water and nutrient to the tray, but damages the plant a little.
*Blood: Feeds both your plant and pests.
*Virus Food: Adds nutrient to the tray while damaging the plant.
* Nicotine: Kills pests while adding toxicity.
===The bad stuff===
*Sugar: Makes pests and weeds grow stronger. Unless you [[Traitor|plan to use unstable mutagen to unleash giant spiders or Kudzu upon the station]], it's of no use.
*Toxin: Increases toxicity. Good job!
*Plant-B-Gone, Sulphuric Acid, Fluorosulfuric Acid: Damages the plant, adds toxicity and kills weeds. What do you think would happen?
*Fluorine, Chlorine: Same as above, but also drains water.
*Phosphorus: Same as Flourine/Chlorine, but adds nutrients to the tray instead of toxicity. Just use a spade.
*Napalm: Kills weeds, hurts plant and adds toxicity. This is just going downhill. Unless your plant has the fireproof [[#Traits|trait]], you might as well space the whole tray. On fireproof plants it will just kill weeds.
*[[Guide_to_chemistry#Strange_Reagent|Strange Reagent]]: Is supposed to spawn hostile plant creatures but currently doesn't work.
</div>
</div>
==[[File:Apiary.png|Beekeeping]] [[Beekeeping]]==
Bees greatly increase plant yield, potency and the probability of you getting lynched. Great stuff, and very useful even if you're no traitor!

[[File:Bee.gif]] [[Beekeeping|For more info, click here for the guide on beepeeking.]] [[File:Bee.gif]]

==Advanced Botany==
This is where you get to PLAY GOD and mess with the stats, reagents and [[#Traits|traits]] of plants. 
===Using the DNA manipulator===
1. Go to the locker in the back and take out the box of plant data disks. 
2. Load a disk into the machine along with any seed of choice. 
3. Extract any gene, this will destroy the seed and save it to the disk. 
4. Put in another seed. 
5. You can now modify the seed's stats and genes based on what's on the plant data disk. 
Obviously, this can be quite powerful in the right hands, and even for more basic tasks it can be a major boon.

It is worth noting, however, that the DNA manipulator has an upper limit on how high a stat can be when you try to extract it and save it to disk, and any stats higher than that will be brought down to that cap. Though these caps can be lowered or eliminated if you can get RnD to upgrade your machine, at round-start the caps are very bad, with certain stats like production speed being capped at a level worse than what nearly every plant has initially. [[#Traits|Traits]], on the other hand, can be extracted just fine no matter what parts are used.

Useful genes from default seeds:
*Wheat has a production speed of 1, the fastest possible.
*Tower-caps have very long lifespans (around 80), as well as potency and endurance stats of 50.
* Tobacco plants have a yield of 10, the cap for that stat.
*Apples have the perennial growth [[#Traits|trait]], which allows for you to get multiple harvests from a single plant.
*Watermelon has an endurance nearly on par with tower-caps, making it a good substitute when starting out so you can avoid using up all of your starting tower-cap seeds.
Some genes are unextractable.
 
===Mutations===
You can mutate plants to A) change stats or B) mutate them into a different subspecies. To do this in a timely manner, you'll need to work with the [[Chemistry]] department.
*The agonizingly slow way is using '''E-Z Nutriment''' to make the plant mutate once every time it's ready to harvest. '''Left 4 Zed''' makes it mutate twice, but kills the yield!

*You can speed up the process to bearable levels by asking your local [[Chemist]] for a few bottles of '''[[Guide_to_chemistry#Unstable Mutagen|Unstable Mutagen]]'''. 
Pour 5 units on your plant and prepare for...
*10% chance of '''mutation into a related species'''. This destroys the old plant and plants a new one. See the [[Guide_to_hydroponics#Plant reference chart|Plant reference chart]] for information on these mutations.
*10% chance of the '''plant losing lots of health instantly'''. The plant can die because of this
* 15% chance of '''heavy stat mutation''' with a 3% chance of a new [[#Traits|trait]] appearing.
* 15% chance of '''normal stat mutation'''.
*20% chance of '''nothing'''. You get a message when this happens.
*10% chance of '''weeds mutating'''. If weed level is less than 5, nothing happens, otherwise you get a random, special mutated weed (Kudzu, Deathnettle, Destroying Angel, Liberty Cap).
*10% chance of '''pests mutating'''. Again, if pest level is less than 5, nothing happens. Otherwise, spiderlings are spawned.
**This is '''bad'''. If the spiderlings escape, they'll grow big and you'll likely get lynched.
Or, if you don't want to bother with species mutation, pour 2 units for a guaranteed heavy stat mutation with a 3% chance of a new [[#Traits|trait]] appearing, or even 1 for a guaranteed normal stat mutation. This method is safe even if you don't have backup seeds, and you can use a bottle for it.
*You can use '''radium''' and '''uranium''', but they cause ill effects, and if you can get radium, you can get mutagen.

*R&D can also research a wonderful thing called a '''Floral Somatoray'''. It has two options: increase yield and mutate the plant. In yield more mode, every time you fire it at the plant, there is a chance the yield will increase. The chance becomes very small when you reach high levels, but it's very useful for low-yield plants. It can even raise yield from zero! In mutation mode, it will always induce a normal stat mutation.
===Fixing awful stats===
Mutating plants has a chance of really ruining stats. Luckily, there are a few ways to fix them:
*Unstable Mutagen. Using 1u slightly changes stats, 2u has more drastic effects.
*Saltpetre. Increases potency and decreases production time.
*Ammonia. Increases yield.
* Floral Somatoray. Increases yield and works as a substitute for Unstable Mutagen.
===Dude weeds===
Trays, whether empty or occupied by plants, can be occasionally overtaken by a weed if their level is 5 or more. In that case the old plant is destroyed, and a new one will sprout in its place.

Possible plants include:
*1/6 chance for Reishi/Starshittle.
*1/9 chance for Nettle/Harebell/Amanita/Chanterelle/Tower Cap/Plump Helmets
Using 5u of unstable mutagen on high weed level trays results in different plants:
* Kudzu, Deathnettle, Destroying Angel, Liberty Cap
==Other Notes==
===[[file:Bottle.png]] Growing your own mutagen===
Don't have access to a botanical chem dispenser? Try this.
*First, plant pumpkins and mutate them into blumpkins.
*Now, insert their Chlorine production [[#Traits|trait]] into glowshrooms and remove the Nutriment one.
*That's it! You now have a plant that grows unstable mutagen - just pop the produce into the grinder.
*You might want to add Perennial Growth to optimize your harvest.
===[[file:Ambrosia_gaia.png]] Upgrading plant trays===
Composting enough plants that contain Earthsblood (20 units from plants like [[#Ambrosia gaia|Ambrosia Gaia]]) into a tray will give it a golden shine. Now it will no longer require water, fertilizer or weed/pest removal.

This is great in combination with plants that have the Perennial Growth [[#Traits|trait]]! A lot of Botanists will upgrade their trays before getting started with actual hydroponics.

Upgraded trays permanently contain the last fertilizer you used before the upgrade. Robust Harvest is usually the best choice.

Instead of keeping the original Gaia plant that most likely has gimped stats - insert the Earthsblood production [[#Traits|trait]] into a more robust plant.

If your DNA extractor hasn't been upgraded yet: Wheat has a production speed of 1 and good overall stats. If you're lucky, your station will have 50 potency Wheat bushels just lying around at roundstart.

You can speed up the process by removing all contents but Earthsblood production and adding the Densified Chemicals (Redbeet) [[#Traits|trait]].
===[[file:Replicapodplant.png]] Replica Pod Cloning===
Replica pods can be used to grow dead people back to life - even when their brain and head are missing.

To clone someone, follow these simple steps:
* Take a blood sample from the body using a syringe.
*Inject it into the bag of seeds.
*Plant the seeds.
*Let the plant grow and then harvest it.
*If the ghost of the corpse is still online, and did not turn on "Do not Resuscitate", that person will be cloned as a [[Podman]].
*If there was no ghost available, the resulting harvest will simply produce a new pack of seeds.
The [[Podman|podmen]] are a little different from normal humans. E.g. they regenerate in light but suffer in darkness and don't get attacked by bees.

Cabbage can be mutated into Replica Pod.
===Strange Seeds===
Strange seeds (from hacked vendors or cargo crates) have completely random reagents and [[#Traits|traits]].

Notable examples are:
*Gaseous Decomposition
*Nitroglycerin
*Microbes (Fungal Tuberculosis)
*Any drink, like Gin Tonic or Beepsky Smash
*Glitter
*Plasmaman Mutation Toxin
*Hell Water
Of course, this is pretty gimmicky and unreliable.
===[[file:Kudzuplant.png]] Kudzu {{anchor|Kudzu}}===
Kudzu is a weed that can appear when adding 5u [[Guide_to_chemistry#Unstable Mutagen|Unstable Mutagen]] to a tray with a weed level of 5 or above. The tray version of kudzu will grow normally in its tray. When harvested it will produce kudzu pods [[File:Kudzu.png]]. The kudzu pod is like any other fruit/vegetable and can be eaten or grinded. To create wild-spreading kudzu, you must put a kudzu pod into a seed extractor, which will create packs of kudzu seeds [[File:Kudzuseed.png]]. Then activate a kudzu seed in your hand to start planting wild-spreading kudzu on the floor. 
Some plant stats will affect the wild-spreading version of kudzu in specific ways:
* Potency of the seed will make kudzu mutate more on spread, the chance to mutate on each new piece is '''[potency / 10]'''
*Production will affect how fast the kudzu can spread, usual kudzu spreads at a rate of 20% of the amount of pieces per tick but no more than 30, production changes the cap '''[30 * production / 50]''' and the percent of processed pieces per tick '''[20 * (production / 50)]'''
Killing the last piece of kudzu will create a kudzu seed in its place with all the ackumulated mutations saved in the seed. So if you reactivate it, the new kudzu on the floor will have all the same mutations the seed had, and will spread it to all its progenitors. You can examine a wild kudzu to see what mutations it has. When mutating it typically changes color. 
Kudzu can gain mutations only on spread, here is the list of all of them:
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed">
Click expand to see Kudzu [[#Traits|traits]] and mutations:
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
*'''CO2 consumption''' - ''positive'' mutation, consumes CO2 from the air
*<s>'''Space covering''' - ''positive'' mutation, makes vines grow vine floors over space</s> Removed as of August 23 2017.
*'''Light''' - ''positive'' mutation, about 40% of the vines with this mutation emit light slightly more powerful than PDA
*'''Transparency''' - ''positive'' mutation, makes vines look-through
*'''Toxins consumption''' - ''positive'' mutation, absorbs plasma from the air
*<s>'''Bluespace vines''' - ''minor negative'' mutation, makes vines be able to grow through anything</s> Removed as of August 23 2017.
*'''Explosive''' - ''minor negative'' mutation, on death vines with this mutation explode with 0,0,2 power, so clusters of this vine will chain-explode one after another
*'''Fire resistant''' - ''minor negative'' mutation, makes vines ignore fire damage, be it plasma fires or welders
*'''Vine eating''' - ''minor negative'' mutation, vines with this mutation will eat vines without it
*'''Toxicity''' - ''negative'' mutation, eating vine with this mutation or walking thought it will cause you toxin damage
*'''Aggressive spreading''' - ''negative'' mutation, on spreading vines will cause effect of mini-explosion on the tile they spread to, mobs buckled by this vine will also experience effects akin to minor explosion
*'''O2 consumption''' - ''negative'' mutation, absorbs O2 from the air around
*'''N2 consumption''' - ''negative'' mutation, absorbs N2 from the air
*'''Thorns''' - ''negative'' mutation, makes mobs touching or going through vines recieve physical damage
*'''Hardening''' - ''negative'' mutation, makes vines not die fast from sharp objects, but makes non-sharp objects(hands included) be more effective agaisnt them, on the full maturation block the passage
*'''Flowering''' - ''negative'' mutation, makes vines very entangly and spawns harmful flowers occasionally, flowers after destruction spawn flower mob that is agressive and attacks

Adding special chemicals to the tray when the seeds are growing will affect the specific kudzu mutations:
*Adding ''5u'' of '''welding fuel''' will remove random ''positive'' mutation with a ''20%'' probability
* Adding ''5u'' of '''phenol''' will remove a random ''minor negative'' mutation with a ''20%'' probability
*Adding ''5u'' of '''sterilizine''' will remove a random ''negative'' mutation with a ''20%'' probability
*Adding ''15u'' of '''blood''' will change the production value of the seeds by a random number in the range from ''-5 to +15''
*Adding ''5u'' of '''amatoxin''' will change the production value of the seeds by a random number in the range from ''-15 to +5''
*Adding ''5u'' of '''plasma''' will change the potency value of the seeds by a random number in the range from ''-15 to +5''
*Adding ''10u'' of '''holy water''' will change a potency value of the seeds by a random number in the range from ''-5 to +15''

=== Sandstone and Soil===
If you pick up the grass and use it (click on it in your hand), you will prepare astroturf. Get a crowbar and remove some floor tiles, then place astroturf in their place. In addition to looking nice, it can be used to get some sand. Just dig it with your spade and you'll get two piles. Now, pick up the sand and use it; you will make a sandstone brick. Using three bricks, you can make a soil plot, which is like a tray, except you can walk over it and there are no lights. You can also build a sandstone door with 10 bricks.

Science can [[Guide_to_advanced_construction#Hydroponics_Tray|build]] hydroponics trays. They can also upgrade them by replacing the matter bins, and this increases the water and nutrient capacity of the tray.
===Wood and Drying Racks===
First you need to get some tower-caps, grow them and harvest them. You can then use hatchet (and some other things, but it's not important) on the logs to chop some planks. They have many uses: you can make chairs, tables, wooden floors and so on. A unique thing here is a drying rack. You can use it to dry a plant, and then smoke it. First, build a rack with 10 planks. Then, grab a plant you want to dry and put it in the rack. Click on the rack and toggle drying so that the red arrows light up. Give it a few seconds and it's done.

Note: you can dry ''any'' plant, and smoking it will give you all chemicals that were in it. You can smoke dried apples if you want, and get nutriment from them.

===[[File:Wooden_barrel.png]] Fermentation Barrel===
You can craft wooden barrels with the crafting menu (under tribal), which requires 30 wood planks [[File:Planks.png]]. Clicking it will toggle it between open and closed. When open you can insert plants or liquid. When closed you can draw liquid by using a container on it. 
Inserting a plant into the barrel will ferment the plant after a few seconds (even if not closing it). This will grind the plant, adding all the plant's contained reagents to the barrel. But it can also add an additional reagent depending on plant used. Most plants will create a special [[Guide_to_food_and_drinks#Wine|wine]] with varied boozepower depending on plant used. Some plants will create other reagents than wine, and some plants will not work at all.
===Things You Can Make Out of Your Plants===
*Add some cable to a potato to make a potato battery. Botany cells have potential to be better than bluespace cells.
*Glowberries and glowshrooms, as the name suggests, glow.
*You can carve a pumpkin with a hatchet. Carved pumpkins can be worn and you can toggle them to emit a weak light.
*You can make a cob-pipe out of a corn cob.
*You can carve a carrot with a hatchet to make a shiv. It's not very strong but it's good at slicing things.
*Flowers and ambrosia can be worn on your head.
*Add dried ambrosia, wheat, tea aspera tips or tobacco leaves to a tower cap log to make a torch.
*Dried ambrosia, tobacco or any mutations of those are able to be smoked from wrapping paper, found in smoking vending machines. You can also grind them and put the liquid in an e-cig.
==Todo list for this guide==
*Add missing/fix outdated entries in the plant reference chart
*Add some icons and pictures to break up the wall of text
==Another guide==
Since Botany is relatively easy to learn but hard to master, here is an extra guide that focuses on a more practical, step-by-step point of view.
Also includes a lot of extra "recipes" for what you can turn your plants into.

Guide to hydroponics

2023-02-27T15:05:44Z

Wrill: Plant bags can hold 100 produce.

[[File:Hydroponics.png|frame|right|Hydroponics. This is your home.]]
== Basics of Botany ==
[[Hydroponics]] and the [[Botanist]]s who work there are important to the station, especially in longer rounds. Botanists grow plants that the [[Chef]] can use for food. Without botany, the station will have to live off of beef jerky and space twinkies, or starve to death.
=== Your Area ===
Hydroponics is divided into two rooms. The big section is where you'll spend most of your time growing goods. Trays are available where you grow plants and two vending machines, one with seeds and the other with miscellaneous items such as nutrients and tools for your job. The bio-generator can be used to grind plants and produce things for the station. In tandem is the seed dispenser used to reproduce your product. The northern area is where you can grab most of the equipment needed to work in botany.

Plants require nutrients (fertilizer) and water to grow. They are also bothered by pests and weeds. 
Trays come equipped with lights that flash specific colors to tell you what's happening with your plant.

From left to right -
* '''Green''': Ready to harvest.
* '''Red''': Low health, caused by weeds/pests/toxins/end of lifespan.
* '''Orange''': High weed level.
* '''Yellow''': Low nutrients.
* '''Blue''': Low water.
Tools that are of use in botany -
* {{anchor|Plant_Analyzer}}'''Plant Analyzer''': Shows detailed detailed plant statistics. Very useful for growing fragile plants like Ambrosia Deus.
* {{anchor|Cultivator}}'''Cultivator''': Kills Weeds.
* '''Plant Bag''': Collects up to 100 harvested plants or seeds from your harvest. Useful for moving those into the fridge or biogenerator.
* '''Wrench''': Used to move your trays around.
* '''Wirecutters''': Used to set up the irrigation system. If 30u or more of water is put into trays while the irrigation is set up, water will be shared across trays. This will also distribute things like mutagen and plant killer.
* {{anchor|Hatchet}}'''Hatchet''': Chops tower-caps into planks, chops other things. This is also a robust tool that fits in pockets.
* {{anchor|Shovel}}'''Shovel''': Digs up grass floors and cleans dirt.
* {{anchor|Spade}}'''Spade''': Removes and destroys plants in a tray.
* '''All-In-One Grinder''': This is how you extract reagents from plants - throw them in and hit the "grind" button.
* '''Portable Seed Extractor''': This can harvest and pick up plants and turn up to 100 plants into seeds. Less efficient than the machine.

Take some seeds from the vendor and put them into the trays. Now, take a look at the tray with a plant analyzer. For now, you only need to pay attention to the bottom five stats - '''Water/Nutrition''' and '''Weeds/Toxic/Pest''' levels. 
Now, fill a bucket from the water tank and grab fertilizer from the vending machine. You get rid of weeds with the cultivator and remove pests with pest spray. [[Chemistry]] can give you better chemicals for this, which will be explained later in the guide. 
Some plants have a varied growth times, such as wheat growing faster while watermelons or apple trees take a little longer before you can harvest from them. 
Once your tray flashes green, you're set to harvest. If you want to replicate the plant to continue growing more, just insert it into the seed extractor. 
You can click seeds with a pen to change the name of the plant, the seed's description, or the plant's description. After planting in a hydroponics tray the tray updates with the name and description of the plant inside it.
=== [[File:Biogenerator.gif|Bio-generator]] Biogenerator ===
The Biogenerator makes items out of the nutriment in plants. As a rule of thumb: More nutriment = more biomass. Watermelons and pumpkins are commonly used due to their 20% nutriment boost [[#Traits|trait]]. 
To get biomass, grab a spare bucket and equip the machine with it, then use the plant bag to put fruits inside. 
If you somehow run out of fertilizer in the vendors, remember you can print the three standard fertilizers here. Keep in mind that you can craft a whole bunch of useful items from the leather/cloth sheets the biogenerator creates.
=== [[File:plant dna manip.gif]]DNA Extractor ===
The DNA extractor allows you to extract and modify seed stats and [[#Traits|traits]]. This machine is what lets you become a [[Chemist]] on speed.

This is a little complex, so look at: [[Guide_to_hydroponics#Advanced_Botany|Advanced Botany]]
== Stats, reagents and traits ==
Three things determine how your plant will turn out: Their '''stats''', '''reagents''' and '''[[#Traits|traits]]'''.
=== Stats ===
Stats determine whether your plants are small and grow slowly, or are big and fast-growing.
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed">
Click expand to see what stats do:
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
* '''Potency''': The most important stat (0 to 100). This affects the amount of chemicals in the plant, though some have additional effects, such as stun length for bananas. 
To get the amount of a given chemical in a plant, multiply the reagent in the chart by the potency: for example, 10% nutriment will be 5 nutriment at 50 potency.
* '''Yield''': How much product you get each harvest. Between 0 and 10. Pay attention to this, because if it drops to 0, you won't harvest anything.
* '''Production Speed''': How fast your plant reaches harvest. Between 1 and 10 -- the '''lower''' the faster. The plant has to wait (Production Speed) age cycles before each harvest.
* '''Maturation Speed''': Age cycles before the plant can start production. The first harvest will be (Maturation Speed + Production Speed).
* '''Lifespan''': When the age is above lifespan, the plant starts losing health. Between 10 and 100. Only important for plants with the Perennial Growth [[#Traits|trait]].
* '''Age''': Age of the plant. Only relevant in terms of the lifespan stat.
* '''Endurance''': Max health. Between 10 and 100. Not very useful, unless you leave your garden often.
* '''Weed growth rate''': Determines how quickly weeds grow in the plant tray. Only relevant with very high values.
* '''Weed vulnerability''': The higher, the more easily a plant is overtaken by weeds. Only relevant with very high values.

=== Reagents/Content ===
This determines what chemicals are present in a grown plant - the [[Guide_to_hydroponics#Advanced_Botany|DNA extractor]] lets you extract and splice these. 
With a bit of creativity, you can mix your own mutagen, produce unique healing chemicals or turn tomatoes into napalm grenades. Solid [[Guide_to_chemistry|Chemistry]] knowledge will help you out immensely. 
For a detailed list, check out: [[Guide_to_hydroponics#Plant reference chart|Plant reference chart]]
=== Traits ===
Traits give your plants unique properties. There are plenty - Perennial Growth for example lets you harvest plants multiple times. 
These can be transferred, just like reagents.

|Makes the plant heal from pests instead of taking damage from them.
|-
!{{anchor|Densified Chemicals}}Densified Chemicals
|Doubles the reagent capacity of the plant. Keep in mind that reagent traits will still add a fixed amount to the plant (this just increases how much can fit in it).
|-
!{{anchor|Electrical Activity}}Electrical Activity
|Gives the plant electrical charge, making it recharge batteries when eaten; it will also have a chance (Potency * 0.2) to electrocute on slip if it also has Slippery Skin and on hit if it has Liquid Contents.
|-
!{{anchor|Fire Resistance}}Fire Resistance
|Makes the seeds and produce fireproof.
|-
!{{anchor|Fungal Vitality}}Fungal Vitality
|The plant acquires mushroom-like properties, removing the need for water and greatly reducing damage from lack of light. Minimum yield is always 1 and the tray can't be overtaken by weeds.
|-
!{{anchor|Gaseous Decomposition}}Gaseous Decomposition
|Plants with this trait emit a smoke cloud when squashed, spewing reagents everywhere. Requires Liquid Contents to be useful.
|-
!{{anchor|Hypodermic Prickles}}Hypodermic Prickles
|Plants with this trait will sting when thrown (or slipped on with Liquid Contents), transferring a portion of their chemicals to the target.
|-
!{{anchor|Invasive Spreading}}Invasive Spreading
|Plants with this trait will invade adjacent trays and destroy other plants growing there. Will not overwrite plants of the same species.
|-
!{{anchor|Liquid Contents}}Liquid Contents
|Causes the plant to squash when thrown or slipped on (Slippery Skin), applying the reagents inside on the target and destroying the plant.
|-
!{{anchor|Perennial Growth}}Perennial Growth
|Plants with this trait don't die on harvest (and can be harvested multiple times).
|-
!{{anchor|Slippery Skin}}Slippery Skin
| Causes the plant, or any products of the plant, to become slippery. The stun time is (Potency * 0.08), divided by 3 unless the plant has lube or is a banana. Maximum stun is 7 seconds. Triggers Hypodermic Prickes and Liquid Contents when combined with them.
|-
!{{anchor|Weed Adaptation}}Weed Adaptation
|The plant acquires weed-like properties, removing the need for nutrients. Plant growth doesn't get slowed by weeds and the tray can't be overtaken by them.

==[[File:Vendnutri.gif]] Chemicals==
A lot of chemicals influence plants - get these from the vending machine, [[Chemistry]] or by growing your own!
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-uncollapsed">
Click expand to see a list of chemicals:
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
===Fertilizers===
*Nutriment: A fertilizer that adds 1 nutrient to the tray and heals the plant 0.5 health per unit added. You can get it by putting your plants and regular food in the grinder.
*[[Ammonia]]: Similar to nutriment, but also increases yield (25u to increase 1 yield). Get it from the [[Chemist]] or hack the Nutri-Vend to get this.
*[[Diethylamine]]: Adds 2 nutrient to the tray, heals the plant 1 health per unit added and increases yield (50u to increase 1 yield). Also kills pests. Get it the same way you get Ammonia.
*Saltpetre: Heals your plant, increases potency and decreases production time. Doesn't add nutrient to the tray.
*Robust Harvest: Adds 1 nutrient to the tray per unit, and permanently increases plant yield of the tray 30% (without mutating the plant). Doesn't work on plants with 0 yield. A tray can only have the modifiers of one of the three special fertilizers at a time (Robust Harvest, E-Z-Nutrient and Left 4 Zed).
===Pest Removal ===
*Pest Killer: Kills pests, and adds a small amount of toxicity.
*Weed Killer: Same as above, but for Weeds.
=== Mutation===
*E-Z-Nutrient: Makes your plant mutate once every time it's ready for harvesting, and resets the tray's yield modifier to x1 (if another special fertilizer had previously been used on the tray). A tray can only have the modifiers of one of the three special fertilizers at a time (Robust Harvest, E-Z-Nutrient and Left 4 Zed).
*Left 4 Zed: Makes your plant mutate twice, but the yield will permanently be 1 at best. If the plant's yield is 0, then nothing is produced! You'll have to use another mutagen to harvest the normal yield of the plant. A tray can only have the modifiers of one of the three special fertilizers at a time (Robust Harvest, E-Z-Nutrient and Left 4 Zed).
*[[Unstable Mutagen]]: Used to randomly mutate plants - 5u for a chance to change the plant type, 1u/2u to only change stats.
*Radium and Uranium: Also usable for mutation (10u for plant type, 2u/5u for stats), but damages plants and adds toxicity. Radium is more damaging.
===Plant Meds ===
*[[Ash]]: Adds 0.5 nutrient to the tray, heals the plant 0.25 health per unit added and kills weeds.
*[[Guide_to_chemistry#Multiver|charcoal]]: Makes your plant less toxic. You can get it by whining to anyone who works in [[Medbay]].
*[[Cryoxadone]]: Heals your plant, via <s>miracles</s> science. Also lowers toxicity. Don't expect the [[Chemist]] to give this to you, but the medbay probably has extra beakers of this.
*Holy water: If you can get the [[Chaplain]]'s attention and make him bless your water, it will heal your plant a bit.
===Unorthodox chemicals===
*Soda Water: Mostly adds water, but also heals the plant and adds nutrient to the tray by a tiny amount.
* Milk: Adds some water and a tiny but of nutrient to the tray.
*Beer: Adds a bit of water and nutrient to the tray, but damages the plant a little.
*Blood: Feeds both your plant and pests.
*Virus Food: Adds nutrient to the tray while damaging the plant.
* Nicotine: Kills pests while adding toxicity.
===The bad stuff===
*Sugar: Makes pests and weeds grow stronger. Unless you [[Traitor|plan to use unstable mutagen to unleash giant spiders or Kudzu upon the station]], it's of no use.
*Toxin: Increases toxicity. Good job!
*Plant-B-Gone, Sulphuric Acid, Fluorosulfuric Acid: Damages the plant, adds toxicity and kills weeds. What do you think would happen?
*Fluorine, Chlorine: Same as above, but also drains water.
*Phosphorus: Same as Flourine/Chlorine, but adds nutrients to the tray instead of toxicity. Just use a spade.
*Napalm: Kills weeds, hurts plant and adds toxicity. This is just going downhill. Unless your plant has the fireproof [[#Traits|trait]], you might as well space the whole tray. On fireproof plants it will just kill weeds.
*[[Guide_to_chemistry#Strange_Reagent|Strange Reagent]]: Is supposed to spawn hostile plant creatures but currently doesn't work.

==[[File:Apiary.png|Beekeeping]] [[Beekeeping]]==
Bees greatly increase plant yield, potency and the probability of you getting lynched. Great stuff, and very useful even if you're no traitor!

[[File:Bee.gif]] [[Beekeeping|For more info, click here for the guide on beepeeking.]] [[File:Bee.gif]]

==Advanced Botany==
This is where you get to PLAY GOD and mess with the stats, reagents and [[#Traits|traits]] of plants. 
===Using the DNA manipulator===
1. Go to the locker in the back and take out the box of plant data disks. 
2. Load a disk into the machine along with any seed of choice. 
3. Extract any gene, this will destroy the seed and save it to the disk. 
4. Put in another seed. 
5. You can now modify the seed's stats and genes based on what's on the plant data disk. 
Obviously, this can be quite powerful in the right hands, and even for more basic tasks it can be a major boon.

It is worth noting, however, that the DNA manipulator has an upper limit on how high a stat can be when you try to extract it and save it to disk, and any stats higher than that will be brought down to that cap. Though these caps can be lowered or eliminated if you can get RnD to upgrade your machine, at round-start the caps are very bad, with certain stats like production speed being capped at a level worse than what nearly every plant has initially. [[#Traits|Traits]], on the other hand, can be extracted just fine no matter what parts are used.

Useful genes from default seeds:
*Wheat has a production speed of 1, the fastest possible.
*Tower-caps have very long lifespans (around 80), as well as potency and endurance stats of 50.
* Tobacco plants have a yield of 10, the cap for that stat.
*Apples have the perennial growth [[#Traits|trait]], which allows for you to get multiple harvests from a single plant.
*Watermelon has an endurance nearly on par with tower-caps, making it a good substitute when starting out so you can avoid using up all of your starting tower-cap seeds.
Some genes are unextractable.
 
===Mutations===
You can mutate plants to A) change stats or B) mutate them into a different subspecies. To do this in a timely manner, you'll need to work with the [[Chemistry]] department.
*The agonizingly slow way is using '''E-Z Nutriment''' to make the plant mutate once every time it's ready to harvest. '''Left 4 Zed''' makes it mutate twice, but kills the yield!

*You can speed up the process to bearable levels by asking your local [[Chemist]] for a few bottles of '''[[Guide_to_chemistry#Unstable Mutagen|Unstable Mutagen]]'''. 
Pour 5 units on your plant and prepare for...
*10% chance of '''mutation into a related species'''. This destroys the old plant and plants a new one. See the [[Guide_to_hydroponics#Plant reference chart|Plant reference chart]] for information on these mutations.
*10% chance of the '''plant losing lots of health instantly'''. The plant can die because of this
* 15% chance of '''heavy stat mutation''' with a 3% chance of a new [[#Traits|trait]] appearing.
* 15% chance of '''normal stat mutation'''.
*20% chance of '''nothing'''. You get a message when this happens.
*10% chance of '''weeds mutating'''. If weed level is less than 5, nothing happens, otherwise you get a random, special mutated weed (Kudzu, Deathnettle, Destroying Angel, Liberty Cap).
*10% chance of '''pests mutating'''. Again, if pest level is less than 5, nothing happens. Otherwise, spiderlings are spawned.
**This is '''bad'''. If the spiderlings escape, they'll grow big and you'll likely get lynched.
Or, if you don't want to bother with species mutation, pour 2 units for a guaranteed heavy stat mutation with a 3% chance of a new [[#Traits|trait]] appearing, or even 1 for a guaranteed normal stat mutation. This method is safe even if you don't have backup seeds, and you can use a bottle for it.
*You can use '''radium''' and '''uranium''', but they cause ill effects, and if you can get radium, you can get mutagen.

*R&D can also research a wonderful thing called a '''Floral Somatoray'''. It has two options: increase yield and mutate the plant. In yield more mode, every time you fire it at the plant, there is a chance the yield will increase. The chance becomes very small when you reach high levels, but it's very useful for low-yield plants. It can even raise yield from zero! In mutation mode, it will always induce a normal stat mutation.
===Fixing awful stats===
Mutating plants has a chance of really ruining stats. Luckily, there are a few ways to fix them:
*Unstable Mutagen. Using 1u slightly changes stats, 2u has more drastic effects.
*Saltpetre. Increases potency and decreases production time.
*Ammonia. Increases yield.
* Floral Somatoray. Increases yield and works as a substitute for Unstable Mutagen.
===Dude weeds===
Trays, whether empty or occupied by plants, can be occasionally overtaken by a weed if their level is 5 or more. In that case the old plant is destroyed, and a new one will sprout in its place.

Possible plants include:
*1/6 chance for Reishi/Starshittle.
*1/9 chance for Nettle/Harebell/Amanita/Chanterelle/Tower Cap/Plump Helmets
Using 5u of unstable mutagen on high weed level trays results in different plants:
* Kudzu, Deathnettle, Destroying Angel, Liberty Cap
==Other Notes==

===[[file:Bottle.png]] Growing your own mutagen===
Not robust enough to steal a chem dispenser? Try this out.
*First, plant pumpkins and mutate them into blumpkins.
*Now, insert their Chlorine production [[#Traits|trait]] into glowshrooms and remove the Nutriment one.
*That's it! You now have a plant that grows unstable mutagen - just pop the produce into the grinder.
*You might want to add Densified Chemicals from Redbeets as well as Perennial Growth to optimize your harvest.
===[[File:Dispenser.png]] Other ways to mutagen===
Chemistry is <s>busy curing the plague</s> too high to help you out?
*<s>Bad idea: Steal a chem dispenser. This will start a blood feud and is one of the biggest reasons why Botanists are hated by some. Think of it as someone stealing all your plant trays.</s>
*<s>Better: Ask Medbay to print you a spare chem dispenser board. After very basic research (Biological Technology), the medical protolathe is able to print chem dispenser boards.</s>
*<s>Or: Grab the spare chem dispenser board from tech storage. The AI, silicons and all members of the Engineering department can let you in.</s>
*<s>For stock parts: Print them from a public autolathe (if such has been built) or ask RnD/Engineering for a part replacer with stock parts. The parts are: 2 matter bins, 1 capacitor, 1 micro-manipulator, 1 power cell, 1 glass sheet. </s>
*<s>For stock parts you can also disassemble a hydroponics tray and a cell charger. A cell can then be found or gotten from disassembling a cyborg recharger.</s>
*Just use your Minor Botanical Chem Dispenser. It can give you mutagen, saltpetre and water roundstart and with t4 parts you can get plantbgone, weedkiller, pestkiller and diethylamine.
===[[file:Ambrosia_gaia.png]] Upgrading plant trays===
Composting enough plants that contain Earthsblood (20 units from plants like [[#Ambrosia gaia|Ambrosia Gaia]]) into a tray will give it a golden shine. Now it will no longer require water, fertilizer or weed/pest removal.

This is great in combination with plants that have the Perennial Growth [[#Traits|trait]]! A lot of Botanists will upgrade their trays before getting started with actual hydroponics.

Upgraded trays permanently contain the last fertilizer you used before the upgrade. Robust Harvest is usually the best choice.

Instead of keeping the original Gaia plant that most likely has gimped stats - insert the Earthsblood production [[#Traits|trait]] into a more robust plant.

If your DNA extractor hasn't been upgraded yet: Wheat has a production speed of 1 and good overall stats. If you're lucky, your station will have 50 potency Wheat bushels just lying around at roundstart.

You can speed up the process by removing all contents but Earthsblood production and adding the Densified Chemicals (Redbeet) [[#Traits|trait]].
===[[file:Replicapodplant.png]] Replica Pod Cloning===
Replica pods can be used to grow dead people back to life - even when their brain and head are missing.

To clone someone, follow these simple steps:
* Take a blood sample from the body using a syringe.
*Inject it into the bag of seeds.
*Plant the seeds.
*Let the plant grow and then harvest it.
*If the ghost of the corpse is still online, and did not turn on "Do not Resuscitate", that person will be cloned as a [[Podman]].
*If there was no ghost available, the resulting harvest will simply produce a new pack of seeds.
The [[Podman|podmen]] are a little different from normal humans. E.g. they regenerate in light but suffer in darkness and don't get attacked by bees.

Cabbage can be mutated into Replica Pod.
===Strange Seeds===
Strange seeds (from hacked vendors or cargo crates) have completely random reagents and [[#Traits|traits]].

Notable examples are:
*Gaseous Decomposition
*Nitroglycerin
*Microbes (Fungal Tuberculosis)
*Any drink, like Gin Tonic or Beepsky Smash
*Glitter
*Plasmaman Mutation Toxin
*Hell Water
Of course, this is pretty gimmicky and unreliable.
===[[file:Kudzuplant.png]] Kudzu {{anchor|Kudzu}}===
Kudzu is a weed that can appear when adding 5u [[Guide_to_chemistry#Unstable Mutagen|Unstable Mutagen]] to a tray with a weed level of 5 or above. The tray version of kudzu will grow normally in its tray. When harvested it will produce kudzu pods [[File:Kudzu.png]]. The kudzu pod is like any other fruit/vegetable and can be eaten or grinded. To create wild-spreading kudzu, you must put a kudzu pod into a seed extractor, which will create packs of kudzu seeds [[File:Kudzuseed.png]]. Then activate a kudzu seed in your hand to start planting wild-spreading kudzu on the floor. 
Some plant stats will affect the wild-spreading version of kudzu in specific ways:
* Potency of the seed will make kudzu mutate more on spread, the chance to mutate on each new piece is '''[potency / 10]'''
*Production will affect how fast the kudzu can spread, usual kudzu spreads at a rate of 20% of the amount of pieces per tick but no more than 30, production changes the cap '''[30 * production / 50]''' and the percent of processed pieces per tick '''[20 * (production / 50)]'''
Killing the last piece of kudzu will create a kudzu seed in its place with all the ackumulated mutations saved in the seed. So if you reactivate it, the new kudzu on the floor will have all the same mutations the seed had, and will spread it to all its progenitors. You can examine a wild kudzu to see what mutations it has. When mutating it typically changes color. 
Kudzu can gain mutations only on spread, here is the list of all of them:
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed">
Click expand to see Kudzu [[#Traits|traits]] and mutations:
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
*'''CO2 consumption''' - ''positive'' mutation, consumes CO2 from the air
*<s>'''Space covering''' - ''positive'' mutation, makes vines grow vine floors over space</s> Removed as of August 23 2017.
*'''Light''' - ''positive'' mutation, about 40% of the vines with this mutation emit light slightly more powerful than PDA
*'''Transparency''' - ''positive'' mutation, makes vines look-through
*'''Toxins consumption''' - ''positive'' mutation, absorbs plasma from the air
*<s>'''Bluespace vines''' - ''minor negative'' mutation, makes vines be able to grow through anything</s> Removed as of August 23 2017.
*'''Explosive''' - ''minor negative'' mutation, on death vines with this mutation explode with 0,0,2 power, so clusters of this vine will chain-explode one after another
*'''Fire resistant''' - ''minor negative'' mutation, makes vines ignore fire damage, be it plasma fires or welders
*'''Vine eating''' - ''minor negative'' mutation, vines with this mutation will eat vines without it
*'''Toxicity''' - ''negative'' mutation, eating vine with this mutation or walking thought it will cause you toxin damage
*'''Aggressive spreading''' - ''negative'' mutation, on spreading vines will cause effect of mini-explosion on the tile they spread to, mobs buckled by this vine will also experience effects akin to minor explosion
*'''O2 consumption''' - ''negative'' mutation, absorbs O2 from the air around
*'''N2 consumption''' - ''negative'' mutation, absorbs N2 from the air
*'''Thorns''' - ''negative'' mutation, makes mobs touching or going through vines recieve physical damage
*'''Hardening''' - ''negative'' mutation, makes vines not die fast from sharp objects, but makes non-sharp objects(hands included) be more effective agaisnt them, on the full maturation block the passage
*'''Flowering''' - ''negative'' mutation, makes vines very entangly and spawns harmful flowers occasionally, flowers after destruction spawn flower mob that is agressive and attacks

Adding special chemicals to the tray when the seeds are growing will affect the specific kudzu mutations:
*Adding ''5u'' of '''welding fuel''' will remove random ''positive'' mutation with a ''20%'' probability
* Adding ''5u'' of '''phenol''' will remove a random ''minor negative'' mutation with a ''20%'' probability
*Adding ''5u'' of '''sterilizine''' will remove a random ''negative'' mutation with a ''20%'' probability
*Adding ''15u'' of '''blood''' will change the production value of the seeds by a random number in the range from ''-5 to +15''
*Adding ''5u'' of '''amatoxin''' will change the production value of the seeds by a random number in the range from ''-15 to +5''
*Adding ''5u'' of '''plasma''' will change the potency value of the seeds by a random number in the range from ''-15 to +5''
*Adding ''10u'' of '''holy water''' will change a potency value of the seeds by a random number in the range from ''-5 to +15''

=== Sandstone and Soil===
If you pick up the grass and use it (click on it in your hand), you will prepare astroturf. Get a crowbar and remove some floor tiles, then place astroturf in their place. In addition to looking nice, it can be used to get some sand. Just dig it with your spade and you'll get two piles. Now, pick up the sand and use it; you will make a sandstone brick. Using three bricks, you can make a soil plot, which is like a tray, except you can walk over it and there are no lights. You can also build a sandstone door with 10 bricks.

Science can [[Guide_to_advanced_construction#Hydroponics_Tray|build]] hydroponics trays. They can also upgrade them by replacing the matter bins, and this increases the water and nutrient capacity of the tray.
===Wood and Drying Racks===
First you need to get some tower-caps, grow them and harvest them. You can then use hatchet (and some other things, but it's not important) on the logs to chop some planks. They have many uses: you can make chairs, tables, wooden floors and so on. A unique thing here is a drying rack. You can use it to dry a plant, and then smoke it. First, build a rack with 10 planks. Then, grab a plant you want to dry and put it in the rack. Click on the rack and toggle drying so that the red arrows light up. Give it a few seconds and it's done.

Note: you can dry ''any'' plant, and smoking it will give you all chemicals that were in it. You can smoke dried apples if you want, and get nutriment from them.

===[[File:Wooden_barrel.png]] Fermentation Barrel===
You can craft wooden barrels with the crafting menu (under tribal), which requires 30 wood planks [[File:Planks.png]]. Clicking it will toggle it between open and closed. When open you can insert plants or liquid. When closed you can draw liquid by using a container on it. 
Inserting a plant into the barrel will ferment the plant after a few seconds (even if not closing it). This will grind the plant, adding all the plant's contained reagents to the barrel. But it can also add an additional reagent depending on plant used. Most plants will create a special [[Guide_to_food_and_drinks#Wine|wine]] with varied boozepower depending on plant used. Some plants will create other reagents than wine, and some plants will not work at all.
===Things You Can Make Out of Your Plants===
*Add some cable to a potato to make a potato battery. Botany cells have potential to be better than bluespace cells.
*Glowberries and glowshrooms, as the name suggests, glow.
*You can carve a pumpkin with a hatchet. Carved pumpkins can be worn and you can toggle them to emit a weak light.
*You can make a cob-pipe out of a corn cob.
*You can carve a carrot with a hatchet to make a shiv. It's not very strong but it's good at slicing things.
*Flowers and ambrosia can be worn on your head.
*Add dried ambrosia, wheat, tea aspera tips or tobacco leaves to a tower cap log to make a torch.
*Dried ambrosia, tobacco or any mutations of those are able to be smoked from wrapping paper, found in smoking vending machines. You can also grind them and put the liquid in an e-cig.
==Todo list for this guide==
*Add missing/fix outdated entries in the plant reference chart
*Add some icons and pictures to break up the wall of text
==Another guide==
Since Botany is relatively easy to learn but hard to master, here is an extra guide that focuses on a more practical, step-by-step point of view.
Also includes a lot of extra "recipes" for what you can turn your plants into.

Guide to hydroponics

2023-02-25T15:05:23Z

Wrill: Added shamrock and ballolon.

[[File:Hydroponics.png|frame|right|Hydroponics. This is your home.]]
== Basics of Botany ==
[[Hydroponics]] and the [[Botanist]]s who work there are important to the station, especially in longer rounds. Botanists grow plants that the [[Chef]] can use for food. Without botany, the station will have to live off of beef jerky and space twinkies, or starve to death.
=== Your Area ===
Hydroponics is divided into two rooms. The big section is where you'll spend most of your time growing goods. Trays are available where you grow plants and two vending machines, one with seeds and the other with miscellaneous items such as nutrients and tools for your job. The bio-generator can be used to grind plants and produce things for the station. In tandem is the seed dispenser used to reproduce your product. The northern area is where you can grab most of the equipment needed to work in botany.

Plants require nutrients (fertilizer) and water to grow. They are also bothered by pests and weeds. 
Trays come equipped with lights that flash specific colors to tell you what's happening with your plant.

From left to right -
* '''Green''': Ready to harvest.
* '''Red''': Low health, caused by weeds/pests/toxins/end of lifespan.
* '''Orange''': High weed level.
* '''Yellow''': Low nutrients.
* '''Blue''': Low water.
Tools that are of use in botany -
* {{anchor|Plant_Analyzer}}'''Plant Analyzer''': Shows detailed detailed plant statistics. Very useful for growing fragile plants like Ambrosia Deus.
* {{anchor|Cultivator}}'''Cultivator''': Kills Weeds.
* '''Plant Bag''': Collects up to 50 items or 100 seeds from your harvest. Useful for moving those into the fridge or biogenerator.
* '''Wrench''': Used to move your trays around.
* '''Wirecutters''': Used to set up the irrigation system. If 30u or more of water is put into trays while the irrigation is set up, water will be shared across trays. This will also distribute things like mutagen and plant killer.
* {{anchor|Hatchet}}'''Hatchet''': Chops tower-caps into planks, chops other things. This is also a robust tool that fits in pockets.
* {{anchor|Shovel}}'''Shovel''': Digs up grass floors and cleans dirt.
* {{anchor|Spade}}'''Spade''': Removes and destroys plants in a tray.
* '''All-In-One Grinder''': This is how you extract reagents from plants - throw them in and hit the "grind" button.
* '''Portable Seed Extractor''': This can harvest and pick up plants and turn up to 100 plants into seeds. Less efficient than the machine.
=== [[File:Seed_Extractor.gif|Seed Extractor]] Plant growing 101 ===
Take some seeds from the vendor and put them into the trays. Now, take a look at the tray with a plant analyzer. For now, you only need to pay attention to the bottom five stats - '''Water/Nutrition''' and '''Weeds/Toxic/Pest''' levels. 
Now, fill a bucket from the water tank and grab fertilizer from the vending machine. You get rid of weeds with the cultivator and remove pests with pest spray. [[Chemistry]] can give you better chemicals for this, which will be explained later in the guide. 
Some plants have a varied growth times, such as wheat growing faster while watermelons or apple trees take a little longer before you can harvest from them. 
Once your tray flashes green, you're set to harvest. If you want to replicate the plant to continue growing more, just insert it into the seed extractor. 
You can click seeds with a pen to change the name of the plant, the seed's description, or the plant's description. After planting in a hydroponics tray the tray updates with the name and description of the plant inside it.
=== [[File:Biogenerator.gif|Bio-generator]] Biogenerator ===
The Biogenerator makes items out of the nutriment in plants. As a rule of thumb: More nutriment = more biomass. Watermelons and pumpkins are commonly used due to their 20% nutriment boost [[#Traits|trait]]. 
To get biomass, grab a spare bucket and equip the machine with it, then use the plant bag to put fruits inside. 
If you somehow run out of fertilizer in the vendors, remember you can print the three standard fertilizers here. Keep in mind that you can craft a whole bunch of useful items from the leather/cloth sheets the biogenerator creates.
=== [[File:plant dna manip.gif]]DNA Extractor ===
The DNA extractor allows you to extract and modify seed stats and [[#Traits|traits]]. This machine is what lets you become a [[Chemist]] on speed.

This is a little complex, so look at: [[Guide_to_hydroponics#Advanced_Botany|Advanced Botany]]
== Stats, reagents and traits ==
Three things determine how your plant will turn out: Their '''stats''', '''reagents''' and '''[[#Traits|traits]]'''.
=== Stats ===
Stats determine whether your plants are small and grow slowly, or are big and fast-growing.
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed">
Click expand to see what stats do:
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
* '''Potency''': The most important stat (0 to 100). This affects the amount of chemicals in the plant, though some have additional effects, such as stun length for bananas. 
To get the amount of a given chemical in a plant, multiply the reagent in the chart by the potency: for example, 10% nutriment will be 5 nutriment at 50 potency.
* '''Yield''': How much product you get each harvest. Between 0 and 10. Pay attention to this, because if it drops to 0, you won't harvest anything.
* '''Production Speed''': How fast your plant reaches harvest. Between 1 and 10 -- the '''lower''' the faster. The plant has to wait (Production Speed) age cycles before each harvest.
* '''Maturation Speed''': Age cycles before the plant can start production. The first harvest will be (Maturation Speed + Production Speed).
* '''Lifespan''': When the age is above lifespan, the plant starts losing health. Between 10 and 100. Only important for plants with the Perennial Growth [[#Traits|trait]].
* '''Age''': Age of the plant. Only relevant in terms of the lifespan stat.
* '''Endurance''': Max health. Between 10 and 100. Not very useful, unless you leave your garden often.
* '''Weed growth rate''': Determines how quickly weeds grow in the plant tray. Only relevant with very high values.
* '''Weed vulnerability''': The higher, the more easily a plant is overtaken by weeds. Only relevant with very high values.
</div>
</div>
=== Reagents/Content ===
This determines what chemicals are present in a grown plant - the [[Guide_to_hydroponics#Advanced_Botany|DNA extractor]] lets you extract and splice these. 
With a bit of creativity, you can mix your own mutagen, produce unique healing chemicals or turn tomatoes into napalm grenades. Solid [[Guide_to_chemistry|Chemistry]] knowledge will help you out immensely. 
For a detailed list, check out: [[Guide_to_hydroponics#Plant reference chart|Plant reference chart]]
=== Traits ===
Traits give your plants unique properties. There are plenty - Perennial Growth for example lets you harvest plants multiple times. 
These can be transferred, just like reagents.

==[[File:Vendnutri.gif]] Chemicals==
A lot of chemicals influence plants - get these from the vending machine, [[Chemistry]] or by growing your own!
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-uncollapsed">
Click expand to see a list of chemicals:
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
===Fertilizers===
*Nutriment: A fertilizer that adds 1 nutrient to the tray and heals the plant 0.5 health per unit added. You can get it by putting your plants and regular food in the grinder.
*[[Ammonia]]: Similar to nutriment, but also increases yield (25u to increase 1 yield). Get it from the [[Chemist]] or hack the Nutri-Vend to get this.
*[[Diethylamine]]: Adds 2 nutrient to the tray, heals the plant 1 health per unit added and increases yield (50u to increase 1 yield). Also kills pests. Get it the same way you get Ammonia.
*Saltpetre: Heals your plant, increases potency and decreases production time. Doesn't add nutrient to the tray.
*Robust Harvest: Adds 1 nutrient to the tray per unit, and permanently increases plant yield of the tray 30% (without mutating the plant). Doesn't work on plants with 0 yield. A tray can only have the modifiers of one of the three special fertilizers at a time (Robust Harvest, E-Z-Nutrient and Left 4 Zed).
===Pest Removal ===
*Pest Killer: Kills pests, and adds a small amount of toxicity.
*Weed Killer: Same as above, but for Weeds.
=== Mutation===
*E-Z-Nutrient: Makes your plant mutate once every time it's ready for harvesting, and resets the tray's yield modifier to x1 (if another special fertilizer had previously been used on the tray). A tray can only have the modifiers of one of the three special fertilizers at a time (Robust Harvest, E-Z-Nutrient and Left 4 Zed).
*Left 4 Zed: Makes your plant mutate twice, but the yield will permanently be 1 at best. If the plant's yield is 0, then nothing is produced! You'll have to use another mutagen to harvest the normal yield of the plant. A tray can only have the modifiers of one of the three special fertilizers at a time (Robust Harvest, E-Z-Nutrient and Left 4 Zed).
*[[Unstable Mutagen]]: Used to randomly mutate plants - 5u for a chance to change the plant type, 1u/2u to only change stats.
*Radium and Uranium: Also usable for mutation (10u for plant type, 2u/5u for stats), but damages plants and adds toxicity. Radium is more damaging.
===Plant Meds ===
*[[Ash]]: Adds 0.5 nutrient to the tray, heals the plant 0.25 health per unit added and kills weeds.
*[[Guide_to_chemistry#Multiver|charcoal]]: Makes your plant less toxic. You can get it by whining to anyone who works in [[Medbay]].
*[[Cryoxadone]]: Heals your plant, via <s>miracles</s> science. Also lowers toxicity. Don't expect the [[Chemist]] to give this to you, but the medbay probably has extra beakers of this.
*Holy water: If you can get the [[Chaplain]]'s attention and make him bless your water, it will heal your plant a bit.
===Unorthodox chemicals===
*Soda Water: Mostly adds water, but also heals the plant and adds nutrient to the tray by a tiny amount.
* Milk: Adds some water and a tiny but of nutrient to the tray.
*Beer: Adds a bit of water and nutrient to the tray, but damages the plant a little.
*Blood: Feeds both your plant and pests.
*Virus Food: Adds nutrient to the tray while damaging the plant.
* Nicotine: Kills pests while adding toxicity.
===The bad stuff===
*Sugar: Makes pests and weeds grow stronger. Unless you [[Traitor|plan to use unstable mutagen to unleash giant spiders or Kudzu upon the station]], it's of no use.
*Toxin: Increases toxicity. Good job!
*Plant-B-Gone, Sulphuric Acid, Fluorosulfuric Acid: Damages the plant, adds toxicity and kills weeds. What do you think would happen?
*Fluorine, Chlorine: Same as above, but also drains water.
*Phosphorus: Same as Flourine/Chlorine, but adds nutrients to the tray instead of toxicity. Just use a spade.
*Napalm: Kills weeds, hurts plant and adds toxicity. This is just going downhill. Unless your plant has the fireproof [[#Traits|trait]], you might as well space the whole tray. On fireproof plants it will just kill weeds.
*[[Guide_to_chemistry#Strange_Reagent|Strange Reagent]]: Is supposed to spawn hostile plant creatures but currently doesn't work.

==[[File:Apiary.png|Beekeeping]] [[Beekeeping]]==
Bees greatly increase plant yield, potency and the probability of you getting lynched. Great stuff, and very useful even if you're no traitor!

[[File:Bee.gif]] [[Beekeeping|For more info, click here for the guide on beepeeking.]] [[File:Bee.gif]]

==Advanced Botany==
This is where you get to PLAY GOD and mess with the stats, reagents and [[#Traits|traits]] of plants. 
===Using the DNA manipulator===
1. Go to the locker in the back and take out the box of plant data disks. 
2. Load a disk into the machine along with any seed of choice. 
3. Extract any gene, this will destroy the seed and save it to the disk. 
4. Put in another seed. 
5. You can now modify the seed's stats and genes based on what's on the plant data disk. 
Obviously, this can be quite powerful in the right hands, and even for more basic tasks it can be a major boon.

It is worth noting, however, that the DNA manipulator has an upper limit on how high a stat can be when you try to extract it and save it to disk, and any stats higher than that will be brought down to that cap. Though these caps can be lowered or eliminated if you can get RnD to upgrade your machine, at round-start the caps are very bad, with certain stats like production speed being capped at a level worse than what nearly every plant has initially. [[#Traits|Traits]], on the other hand, can be extracted just fine no matter what parts are used.

Useful genes from default seeds:
*Wheat has a production speed of 1, the fastest possible.
*Tower-caps have very long lifespans (around 80), as well as potency and endurance stats of 50.
* Tobacco plants have a yield of 10, the cap for that stat.
*Apples have the perennial growth [[#Traits|trait]], which allows for you to get multiple harvests from a single plant.
*Watermelon has an endurance nearly on par with tower-caps, making it a good substitute when starting out so you can avoid using up all of your starting tower-cap seeds.
Some genes are unextractable.
 
===Mutations===
You can mutate plants to A) change stats or B) mutate them into a different subspecies. To do this in a timely manner, you'll need to work with the [[Chemistry]] department.
*The agonizingly slow way is using '''E-Z Nutriment''' to make the plant mutate once every time it's ready to harvest. '''Left 4 Zed''' makes it mutate twice, but kills the yield!

*You can speed up the process to bearable levels by asking your local [[Chemist]] for a few bottles of '''[[Guide_to_chemistry#Unstable Mutagen|Unstable Mutagen]]'''. 
Pour 5 units on your plant and prepare for...
*10% chance of '''mutation into a related species'''. This destroys the old plant and plants a new one. See the [[Guide_to_hydroponics#Plant reference chart|Plant reference chart]] for information on these mutations.
*10% chance of the '''plant losing lots of health instantly'''. The plant can die because of this
* 15% chance of '''heavy stat mutation''' with a 3% chance of a new [[#Traits|trait]] appearing.
* 15% chance of '''normal stat mutation'''.
*20% chance of '''nothing'''. You get a message when this happens.
*10% chance of '''weeds mutating'''. If weed level is less than 5, nothing happens, otherwise you get a random, special mutated weed (Kudzu, Deathnettle, Destroying Angel, Liberty Cap).
*10% chance of '''pests mutating'''. Again, if pest level is less than 5, nothing happens. Otherwise, spiderlings are spawned.
**This is '''bad'''. If the spiderlings escape, they'll grow big and you'll likely get lynched.
Or, if you don't want to bother with species mutation, pour 2 units for a guaranteed heavy stat mutation with a 3% chance of a new [[#Traits|trait]] appearing, or even 1 for a guaranteed normal stat mutation. This method is safe even if you don't have backup seeds, and you can use a bottle for it.
*You can use '''radium''' and '''uranium''', but they cause ill effects, and if you can get radium, you can get mutagen.

*R&D can also research a wonderful thing called a '''Floral Somatoray'''. It has two options: increase yield and mutate the plant. In yield more mode, every time you fire it at the plant, there is a chance the yield will increase. The chance becomes very small when you reach high levels, but it's very useful for low-yield plants. It can even raise yield from zero! In mutation mode, it will always induce a normal stat mutation.
===Fixing awful stats===
Mutating plants has a chance of really ruining stats. Luckily, there are a few ways to fix them:
*Unstable Mutagen. Using 1u slightly changes stats, 2u has more drastic effects.
*Saltpetre. Increases potency and decreases production time.
*Ammonia. Increases yield.
* Floral Somatoray. Increases yield and works as a substitute for Unstable Mutagen.
===Dude weeds===
Trays, whether empty or occupied by plants, can be occasionally overtaken by a weed if their level is 5 or more. In that case the old plant is destroyed, and a new one will sprout in its place.

Possible plants include:
*1/6 chance for Reishi/Starshittle.
*1/9 chance for Nettle/Harebell/Amanita/Chanterelle/Tower Cap/Plump Helmets
Using 5u of unstable mutagen on high weed level trays results in different plants:
* Kudzu, Deathnettle, Destroying Angel, Liberty Cap
==Other Notes==

===[[file:Bottle.png]] Growing your own mutagen===
Not robust enough to steal a chem dispenser? Try this out.
*First, plant pumpkins and mutate them into blumpkins.
*Now, insert their Chlorine production [[#Traits|trait]] into glowshrooms and remove the Nutriment one.
*That's it! You now have a plant that grows unstable mutagen - just pop the produce into the grinder.
*You might want to add Densified Chemicals from Redbeets as well as Perennial Growth to optimize your harvest.
===[[File:Dispenser.png]] Other ways to mutagen===
Chemistry is <s>busy curing the plague</s> too high to help you out?
*<s>Bad idea: Steal a chem dispenser. This will start a blood feud and is one of the biggest reasons why Botanists are hated by some. Think of it as someone stealing all your plant trays.</s>
*<s>Better: Ask Medbay to print you a spare chem dispenser board. After very basic research (Biological Technology), the medical protolathe is able to print chem dispenser boards.</s>
*<s>Or: Grab the spare chem dispenser board from tech storage. The AI, silicons and all members of the Engineering department can let you in.</s>
*<s>For stock parts: Print them from a public autolathe (if such has been built) or ask RnD/Engineering for a part replacer with stock parts. The parts are: 2 matter bins, 1 capacitor, 1 micro-manipulator, 1 power cell, 1 glass sheet. </s>
*<s>For stock parts you can also disassemble a hydroponics tray and a cell charger. A cell can then be found or gotten from disassembling a cyborg recharger.</s>
*Just use your Minor Botanical Chem Dispenser. It can give you mutagen, saltpetre and water roundstart and with t4 parts you can get plantbgone, weedkiller, pestkiller and diethylamine.
===[[file:Ambrosia_gaia.png]] Upgrading plant trays===
Composting enough plants that contain Earthsblood (20 units from plants like [[#Ambrosia gaia|Ambrosia Gaia]]) into a tray will give it a golden shine. Now it will no longer require water, fertilizer or weed/pest removal.

This is great in combination with plants that have the Perennial Growth [[#Traits|trait]]! A lot of Botanists will upgrade their trays before getting started with actual hydroponics.

Upgraded trays permanently contain the last fertilizer you used before the upgrade. Robust Harvest is usually the best choice.

Instead of keeping the original Gaia plant that most likely has gimped stats - insert the Earthsblood production [[#Traits|trait]] into a more robust plant.

If your DNA extractor hasn't been upgraded yet: Wheat has a production speed of 1 and good overall stats. If you're lucky, your station will have 50 potency Wheat bushels just lying around at roundstart.

You can speed up the process by removing all contents but Earthsblood production and adding the Densified Chemicals (Redbeet) [[#Traits|trait]].
===[[file:Replicapodplant.png]] Replica Pod Cloning===
Replica pods can be used to grow dead people back to life - even when their brain and head are missing.

To clone someone, follow these simple steps:
* Take a blood sample from the body using a syringe.
*Inject it into the bag of seeds.
*Plant the seeds.
*Let the plant grow and then harvest it.
*If the ghost of the corpse is still online, and did not turn on "Do not Resuscitate", that person will be cloned as a [[Podman]].
*If there was no ghost available, the resulting harvest will simply produce a new pack of seeds.
The [[Podman|podmen]] are a little different from normal humans. E.g. they regenerate in light but suffer in darkness and don't get attacked by bees.

Cabbage can be mutated into Replica Pod.
===Strange Seeds===
Strange seeds (from hacked vendors or cargo crates) have completely random reagents and [[#Traits|traits]].

Notable examples are:
*Gaseous Decomposition
*Nitroglycerin
*Microbes (Fungal Tuberculosis)
*Any drink, like Gin Tonic or Beepsky Smash
*Glitter
*Plasmaman Mutation Toxin
*Hell Water
Of course, this is pretty gimmicky and unreliable.
===[[file:Kudzuplant.png]] Kudzu {{anchor|Kudzu}}===
Kudzu is a weed that can appear when adding 5u [[Guide_to_chemistry#Unstable Mutagen|Unstable Mutagen]] to a tray with a weed level of 5 or above. The tray version of kudzu will grow normally in its tray. When harvested it will produce kudzu pods [[File:Kudzu.png]]. The kudzu pod is like any other fruit/vegetable and can be eaten or grinded. To create wild-spreading kudzu, you must put a kudzu pod into a seed extractor, which will create packs of kudzu seeds [[File:Kudzuseed.png]]. Then activate a kudzu seed in your hand to start planting wild-spreading kudzu on the floor. 
Some plant stats will affect the wild-spreading version of kudzu in specific ways:
* Potency of the seed will make kudzu mutate more on spread, the chance to mutate on each new piece is '''[potency / 10]'''
*Production will affect how fast the kudzu can spread, usual kudzu spreads at a rate of 20% of the amount of pieces per tick but no more than 30, production changes the cap '''[30 * production / 50]''' and the percent of processed pieces per tick '''[20 * (production / 50)]'''
Killing the last piece of kudzu will create a kudzu seed in its place with all the ackumulated mutations saved in the seed. So if you reactivate it, the new kudzu on the floor will have all the same mutations the seed had, and will spread it to all its progenitors. You can examine a wild kudzu to see what mutations it has. When mutating it typically changes color. 
Kudzu can gain mutations only on spread, here is the list of all of them:
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed">
Click expand to see Kudzu [[#Traits|traits]] and mutations:
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
*'''CO2 consumption''' - ''positive'' mutation, consumes CO2 from the air
*<s>'''Space covering''' - ''positive'' mutation, makes vines grow vine floors over space</s> Removed as of August 23 2017.
*'''Light''' - ''positive'' mutation, about 40% of the vines with this mutation emit light slightly more powerful than PDA
*'''Transparency''' - ''positive'' mutation, makes vines look-through
*'''Toxins consumption''' - ''positive'' mutation, absorbs plasma from the air
*<s>'''Bluespace vines''' - ''minor negative'' mutation, makes vines be able to grow through anything</s> Removed as of August 23 2017.
*'''Explosive''' - ''minor negative'' mutation, on death vines with this mutation explode with 0,0,2 power, so clusters of this vine will chain-explode one after another
*'''Fire resistant''' - ''minor negative'' mutation, makes vines ignore fire damage, be it plasma fires or welders
*'''Vine eating''' - ''minor negative'' mutation, vines with this mutation will eat vines without it
*'''Toxicity''' - ''negative'' mutation, eating vine with this mutation or walking thought it will cause you toxin damage
*'''Aggressive spreading''' - ''negative'' mutation, on spreading vines will cause effect of mini-explosion on the tile they spread to, mobs buckled by this vine will also experience effects akin to minor explosion
*'''O2 consumption''' - ''negative'' mutation, absorbs O2 from the air around
*'''N2 consumption''' - ''negative'' mutation, absorbs N2 from the air
*'''Thorns''' - ''negative'' mutation, makes mobs touching or going through vines recieve physical damage
*'''Hardening''' - ''negative'' mutation, makes vines not die fast from sharp objects, but makes non-sharp objects(hands included) be more effective agaisnt them, on the full maturation block the passage
*'''Flowering''' - ''negative'' mutation, makes vines very entangly and spawns harmful flowers occasionally, flowers after destruction spawn flower mob that is agressive and attacks

Adding special chemicals to the tray when the seeds are growing will affect the specific kudzu mutations:
*Adding ''5u'' of '''welding fuel''' will remove random ''positive'' mutation with a ''20%'' probability
* Adding ''5u'' of '''phenol''' will remove a random ''minor negative'' mutation with a ''20%'' probability
*Adding ''5u'' of '''sterilizine''' will remove a random ''negative'' mutation with a ''20%'' probability
*Adding ''15u'' of '''blood''' will change the production value of the seeds by a random number in the range from ''-5 to +15''
*Adding ''5u'' of '''amatoxin''' will change the production value of the seeds by a random number in the range from ''-15 to +5''
*Adding ''5u'' of '''plasma''' will change the potency value of the seeds by a random number in the range from ''-15 to +5''
*Adding ''10u'' of '''holy water''' will change a potency value of the seeds by a random number in the range from ''-5 to +15''

=== Sandstone and Soil===
If you pick up the grass and use it (click on it in your hand), you will prepare astroturf. Get a crowbar and remove some floor tiles, then place astroturf in their place. In addition to looking nice, it can be used to get some sand. Just dig it with your spade and you'll get two piles. Now, pick up the sand and use it; you will make a sandstone brick. Using three bricks, you can make a soil plot, which is like a tray, except you can walk over it and there are no lights. You can also build a sandstone door with 10 bricks.

Science can [[Guide_to_advanced_construction#Hydroponics_Tray|build]] hydroponics trays. They can also upgrade them by replacing the matter bins, and this increases the water and nutrient capacity of the tray.
===Wood and Drying Racks===
First you need to get some tower-caps, grow them and harvest them. You can then use hatchet (and some other things, but it's not important) on the logs to chop some planks. They have many uses: you can make chairs, tables, wooden floors and so on. A unique thing here is a drying rack. You can use it to dry a plant, and then smoke it. First, build a rack with 10 planks. Then, grab a plant you want to dry and put it in the rack. Click on the rack and toggle drying so that the red arrows light up. Give it a few seconds and it's done.

Note: you can dry ''any'' plant, and smoking it will give you all chemicals that were in it. You can smoke dried apples if you want, and get nutriment from them.

===[[File:Wooden_barrel.png]] Fermentation Barrel===
You can craft wooden barrels with the crafting menu (under tribal), which requires 30 wood planks [[File:Planks.png]]. Clicking it will toggle it between open and closed. When open you can insert plants or liquid. When closed you can draw liquid by using a container on it. 
Inserting a plant into the barrel will ferment the plant after a few seconds (even if not closing it). This will grind the plant, adding all the plant's contained reagents to the barrel. But it can also add an additional reagent depending on plant used. Most plants will create a special [[Guide_to_food_and_drinks#Wine|wine]] with varied boozepower depending on plant used. Some plants will create other reagents than wine, and some plants will not work at all.
===Things You Can Make Out of Your Plants===
*Add some cable to a potato to make a potato battery. Botany cells have potential to be better than bluespace cells.
*Glowberries and glowshrooms, as the name suggests, glow.
*You can carve a pumpkin with a hatchet. Carved pumpkins can be worn and you can toggle them to emit a weak light.
*You can make a cob-pipe out of a corn cob.
*You can carve a carrot with a hatchet to make a shiv. It's not very strong but it's good at slicing things.
*Flowers and ambrosia can be worn on your head.
*Add dried ambrosia, wheat, tea aspera tips or tobacco leaves to a tower cap log to make a torch.
*Dried ambrosia, tobacco or any mutations of those are able to be smoked from wrapping paper, found in smoking vending machines. You can also grind them and put the liquid in an e-cig.
==Todo list for this guide==
*Add missing/fix outdated entries in the plant reference chart
*Add some icons and pictures to break up the wall of text
==Another guide==
Since Botany is relatively easy to learn but hard to master, here is an extra guide that focuses on a more practical, step-by-step point of view.
Also includes a lot of extra "recipes" for what you can turn your plants into.

== Basics of Botany ==
[[Hydroponics]] and the [[Botanist]]s who work there are important to the station, especially in longer rounds. Botanists grow plants that the [[Chef]] can use for food. Without botany, the station will have to live off of beef jerky and space twinkies, or starve to death.
=== Your Area ===
Hydroponics is divided into two rooms. The big section is where you'll spend most of your time growing goods. Trays are available where you grow plants and two vending machines, one with seeds and the other with miscellaneous items such as nutrients and tools for your job. The bio-generator can be used to grind plants and produce things for the station. In tandem is the seed dispenser used to reproduce your product. The northern area is where you can grab most of the equipment needed to work in botany.

Plants require nutrients (fertilizer) and water to grow. They are also bothered by pests and weeds. 
Trays come equipped with lights that flash specific colors to tell you what's happening with your plant.

From left to right -
* '''Green''': Ready to harvest.
* '''Red''': Low health, caused by weeds/pests/toxins/end of lifespan.
* '''Orange''': High weed level.
* '''Yellow''': Low nutrients.
* '''Blue''': Low water.
Tools that are of use in botany -
* {{anchor|Plant_Analyzer}}'''Plant Analyzer''': Shows detailed detailed plant statistics. Very useful for growing fragile plants like Ambrosia Deus.
* {{anchor|Cultivator}}'''Cultivator''': Kills Weeds.
* '''Plant Bag''': Collects up to 50 items or 100 seeds from your harvest. Useful for moving those into the fridge or biogenerator.
* '''Wrench''': Used to move your trays around.
* '''Wirecutters''': Used to set up the irrigation system. If 30u or more of water is put into trays while the irrigation is set up, water will be shared across trays. This will also distribute things like mutagen and plant killer.
* {{anchor|Hatchet}}'''Hatchet''': Chops tower-caps into planks, chops other things. This is also a robust tool that fits in pockets.
* {{anchor|Shovel}}'''Shovel''': Digs up grass floors and cleans dirt.
* {{anchor|Spade}}'''Spade''': Removes and destroys plants in a tray.
* '''All-In-One Grinder''': This is how you extract reagents from plants - throw them in and hit the "grind" button.
* '''Portable Seed Extractor''': This can harvest and pick up plants and turn up to 100 plants into seeds. Less efficient than the machine.
=== [[File:Seed_Extractor.gif|Seed Extractor]] Plant growing 101 ===
Take some seeds from the vendor and put them into the trays. Now, take a look at the tray with a plant analyzer. For now, you only need to pay attention to the bottom five stats - '''Water/Nutrition''' and '''Weeds/Toxic/Pest''' levels. 
Now, fill a bucket from the water tank and grab fertilizer from the vending machine. You get rid of weeds with the cultivator and remove pests with pest spray. [[Chemistry]] can give you better chemicals for this, which will be explained later in the guide. 
Some plants have a varied growth times, such as wheat growing faster while watermelons or apple trees take a little longer before you can harvest from them. 
Once your tray flashes green, you're set to harvest. If you want to replicate the plant to continue growing more, just insert it into the seed extractor. 
You can click seeds with a pen to change the name of the plant, the seed's description, or the plant's description. After planting in a hydroponics tray the tray updates with the name and description of the plant inside it.
=== [[File:Biogenerator.gif|Bio-generator]] Biogenerator ===
The Biogenerator makes items out of the nutriment in plants. As a rule of thumb: More nutriment = more biomass. Watermelons and pumpkins are commonly used due to their 20% nutriment boost [[#Traits|trait]]. 
To get biomass, grab a spare bucket and equip the machine with it, then use the plant bag to put fruits inside. 
If you somehow run out of fertilizer in the vendors, remember you can print the three standard fertilizers here. Keep in mind that you can craft a whole bunch of useful items from the leather/cloth sheets the biogenerator creates.
=== [[File:plant dna manip.gif]]DNA Extractor ===
The DNA extractor allows you to extract and modify seed stats and [[#Traits|traits]]. This machine is what lets you become a [[Chemist]] on speed.

This is a little complex, so look at: [[Guide_to_hydroponics#Advanced_Botany|Advanced Botany]]
== Stats, reagents and traits ==
Three things determine how your plant will turn out: Their '''stats''', '''reagents''' and '''[[#Traits|traits]]'''.
=== Stats ===
Stats determine whether your plants are small and grow slowly, or are big and fast-growing.
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed">
Click expand to see what stats do:
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
* '''Potency''': The most important stat (0 to 100). This affects the amount of chemicals in the plant, though some have additional effects, such as stun length for bananas. 
To get the amount of a given chemical in a plant, multiply the reagent in the chart by the potency: for example, 10% nutriment will be 5 nutriment at 50 potency.
* '''Yield''': How much product you get each harvest. Between 0 and 10. Pay attention to this, because if it drops to 0, you won't harvest anything.
* '''Production Speed''': How fast your plant reaches harvest. Between 1 and 10 -- the '''lower''' the faster. The plant has to wait (Production Speed) age cycles before each harvest.
* '''Maturation Speed''': Age cycles before the plant can start production. The first harvest will be (Maturation Speed + Production Speed).
* '''Lifespan''': When the age is above lifespan, the plant starts losing health. Between 10 and 100. Only important for plants with the Perennial Growth [[#Traits|trait]].
* '''Age''': Age of the plant. Only relevant in terms of the lifespan stat.
* '''Endurance''': Max health. Between 10 and 100. Not very useful, unless you leave your garden often.
* '''Weed growth rate''': Determines how quickly weeds grow in the plant tray. Only relevant with very high values.
* '''Weed vulnerability''': The higher, the more easily a plant is overtaken by weeds. Only relevant with very high values.
</div>
</div>
=== Reagents/Content ===
This determines what chemicals are present in a grown plant - the [[Guide_to_hydroponics#Advanced_Botany|DNA extractor]] lets you extract and splice these. 
With a bit of creativity, you can mix your own mutagen, produce unique healing chemicals or turn tomatoes into napalm grenades. Solid [[Guide_to_chemistry|Chemistry]] knowledge will help you out immensely. 
For a detailed list, check out: [[Guide_to_hydroponics#Plant reference chart|Plant reference chart]]
=== Traits ===
Traits give your plants unique properties. There are plenty - Perennial Growth for example lets you harvest plants multiple times. 
These can be transferred, just like reagents.

==[[File:Vendnutri.gif]] Chemicals==
A lot of chemicals influence plants - get these from the vending machine, [[Chemistry]] or by growing your own!
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-uncollapsed">
Click expand to see a list of chemicals:
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
===Fertilizers===
*Nutriment: A fertilizer that adds 1 nutrient to the tray and heals the plant 0.5 health per unit added. You can get it by putting your plants and regular food in the grinder.
*[[Ammonia]]: Similar to nutriment, but also increases yield (25u to increase 1 yield). Get it from the [[Chemist]] or hack the Nutri-Vend to get this.
*[[Diethylamine]]: Adds 2 nutrient to the tray, heals the plant 1 health per unit added and increases yield (50u to increase 1 yield). Also kills pests. Get it the same way you get Ammonia.
* Saltpetre: Heals your plant, increases potency and decreases production time. Doesn't add nutrient to the tray.
*Robust Harvest: Adds 1 nutrient to the tray per unit, and permanently increases plant yield of the tray 30% (without mutating the plant). Doesn't work on plants with 0 yield. A tray can only have the modifiers of one of the three special fertilizers at a time (Robust Harvest, E-Z-Nutrient and Left 4 Zed).
===Pest Removal===
* Pest Killer: Kills pests, and adds a small amount of toxicity.
*Weed Killer: Same as above, but for Weeds.
=== Mutation===
*E-Z-Nutrient: Makes your plant mutate once every time it's ready for harvesting, and resets the tray's yield modifier to x1 (if another special fertilizer had previously been used on the tray). A tray can only have the modifiers of one of the three special fertilizers at a time (Robust Harvest, E-Z-Nutrient and Left 4 Zed).
*Left 4 Zed: Makes your plant mutate twice, but the yield will permanently be 1 at best. If the plant's yield is 0, then nothing is produced! You'll have to use another mutagen to harvest the normal yield of the plant. A tray can only have the modifiers of one of the three special fertilizers at a time (Robust Harvest, E-Z-Nutrient and Left 4 Zed).
*[[Unstable Mutagen]]: Used to randomly mutate plants - 5u for a chance to change the plant type, 1u/2u to only change stats.
*Radium and Uranium: Also usable for mutation (10u for plant type, 2u/5u for stats), but damages plants and adds toxicity. Radium is more damaging.
===Plant Meds ===
*[[Ash]]: Adds 0.5 nutrient to the tray, heals the plant 0.25 health per unit added and kills weeds.
*[[Guide_to_chemistry#Multiver|charcoal]]: Makes your plant less toxic. You can get it by whining to anyone who works in [[Medbay]].
*[[Cryoxadone]]: Heals your plant, via <s>miracles</s> science. Also lowers toxicity. Don't expect the [[Chemist]] to give this to you, but the medbay probably has extra beakers of this.
*Holy water: If you can get the [[Chaplain]]'s attention and make him bless your water, it will heal your plant a bit.
===Unorthodox chemicals===
*Soda Water: Mostly adds water, but also heals the plant and adds nutrient to the tray by a tiny amount.
*Milk: Adds some water and a tiny but of nutrient to the tray.
*Beer: Adds a bit of water and nutrient to the tray, but damages the plant a little.
*Blood: Feeds both your plant and pests.
*Virus Food: Adds nutrient to the tray while damaging the plant.
*Nicotine: Kills pests while adding toxicity.
===The bad stuff===
*Sugar: Makes pests and weeds grow stronger. Unless you [[Traitor|plan to use unstable mutagen to unleash giant spiders or Kudzu upon the station]], it's of no use.
* Toxin: Increases toxicity. Good job!
*Plant-B-Gone, Sulphuric Acid, Fluorosulfuric Acid: Damages the plant, adds toxicity and kills weeds. What do you think would happen?
*Fluorine, Chlorine: Same as above, but also drains water.
*Phosphorus: Same as Flourine/Chlorine, but adds nutrients to the tray instead of toxicity. Just use a spade.
* Napalm: Kills weeds, hurts plant and adds toxicity. This is just going downhill. Unless your plant has the fireproof [[#Traits|trait]], you might as well space the whole tray. On fireproof plants it will just kill weeds.
*[[Guide_to_chemistry#Strange_Reagent|Strange Reagent]]: Is supposed to spawn hostile plant creatures but currently doesn't work.

==[[File:Apiary.png|Beekeeping]] [[Beekeeping]]==
Bees greatly increase plant yield, potency and the probability of you getting lynched. Great stuff, and very useful even if you're no traitor!

[[File:Bee.gif]] [[Beekeeping|For more info, click here for the guide on beepeeking.]] [[File:Bee.gif]]

==Advanced Botany==
This is where you get to PLAY GOD and mess with the stats, reagents and [[#Traits|traits]] of plants. 
===Using the DNA manipulator===
1. Go to the locker in the back and take out the box of plant data disks. 
2. Load a disk into the machine along with any seed of choice. 
3. Extract any gene, this will destroy the seed and save it to the disk. 
4. Put in another seed. 
5. You can now modify the seed's stats and genes based on what's on the plant data disk. 
Obviously, this can be quite powerful in the right hands, and even for more basic tasks it can be a major boon.

It is worth noting, however, that the DNA manipulator has an upper limit on how high a stat can be when you try to extract it and save it to disk, and any stats higher than that will be brought down to that cap. Though these caps can be lowered or eliminated if you can get RnD to upgrade your machine, at round-start the caps are very bad, with certain stats like production speed being capped at a level worse than what nearly every plant has initially. [[#Traits|Traits]], on the other hand, can be extracted just fine no matter what parts are used.

Useful genes from default seeds:
* Wheat has a production speed of 1, the fastest possible.
*Tower-caps have very long lifespans (around 80), as well as potency and endurance stats of 50.
*Tobacco plants have a yield of 10, the cap for that stat.
*Apples have the perennial growth [[#Traits|trait]], which allows for you to get multiple harvests from a single plant.
*Watermelon has an endurance nearly on par with tower-caps, making it a good substitute when starting out so you can avoid using up all of your starting tower-cap seeds.
Some genes are unextractable.
 
===Mutations ===
You can mutate plants to A) change stats or B) mutate them into a different subspecies. To do this in a timely manner, you'll need to work with the [[Chemistry]] department.
*The agonizingly slow way is using '''E-Z Nutriment''' to make the plant mutate once every time it's ready to harvest. '''Left 4 Zed''' makes it mutate twice, but kills the yield!

*You can speed up the process to bearable levels by asking your local [[Chemist]] for a few bottles of '''[[Guide_to_chemistry#Unstable Mutagen|Unstable Mutagen]]'''. 
Pour 5 units on your plant and prepare for...
*10% chance of '''mutation into a related species'''. This destroys the old plant and plants a new one. See the [[Guide_to_hydroponics#Plant reference chart|Plant reference chart]] for information on these mutations.
* 10% chance of the '''plant losing lots of health instantly'''. The plant can die because of this
*15% chance of '''heavy stat mutation''' with a 3% chance of a new [[#Traits|trait]] appearing.
* 15% chance of '''normal stat mutation'''.
*20% chance of '''nothing'''. You get a message when this happens.
*10% chance of '''weeds mutating'''. If weed level is less than 5, nothing happens, otherwise you get a random, special mutated weed (Kudzu, Deathnettle, Destroying Angel, Liberty Cap).
*10% chance of '''pests mutating'''. Again, if pest level is less than 5, nothing happens. Otherwise, spiderlings are spawned.
**This is '''bad'''. If the spiderlings escape, they'll grow big and you'll likely get lynched.
Or, if you don't want to bother with species mutation, pour 2 units for a guaranteed heavy stat mutation with a 3% chance of a new [[#Traits|trait]] appearing, or even 1 for a guaranteed normal stat mutation. This method is safe even if you don't have backup seeds, and you can use a bottle for it.
*You can use '''radium''' and '''uranium''', but they cause ill effects, and if you can get radium, you can get mutagen.

*R&D can also research a wonderful thing called a '''Floral Somatoray'''. It has two options: increase yield and mutate the plant. In yield more mode, every time you fire it at the plant, there is a chance the yield will increase. The chance becomes very small when you reach high levels, but it's very useful for low-yield plants. It can even raise yield from zero! In mutation mode, it will always induce a normal stat mutation.
===Fixing awful stats===
Mutating plants has a chance of really ruining stats. Luckily, there are a few ways to fix them:
*Unstable Mutagen. Using 1u slightly changes stats, 2u has more drastic effects.
* Saltpetre. Increases potency and decreases production time.
*Ammonia. Increases yield.
*Floral Somatoray. Increases yield and works as a substitute for Unstable Mutagen.
===Dude weeds===
Trays, whether empty or occupied by plants, can be occasionally overtaken by a weed if their level is 5 or more. In that case the old plant is destroyed, and a new one will sprout in its place.

Possible plants include:
*1/6 chance for Reishi/Starshittle.
*1/9 chance for Nettle/Harebell/Amanita/Chanterelle/Tower Cap/Plump Helmets
Using 5u of unstable mutagen on high weed level trays results in different plants:
*Kudzu, Deathnettle, Destroying Angel, Liberty Cap
==Other Notes==

===[[file:Bottle.png]] Growing your own mutagen===
Not robust enough to steal a chem dispenser? Try this out.
*First, plant pumpkins and mutate them into blumpkins.
*Now, insert their Chlorine production [[#Traits|trait]] into glowshrooms and remove the Nutriment one.
* That's it! You now have a plant that grows unstable mutagen - just pop the produce into the grinder.
*You might want to add Densified Chemicals from Redbeets as well as Perennial Growth to optimize your harvest.
===[[File:Dispenser.png]] Other ways to mutagen ===
Chemistry is <s>busy curing the plague</s> too high to help you out?
*<s>Bad idea: Steal a chem dispenser. This will start a blood feud and is one of the biggest reasons why Botanists are hated by some. Think of it as someone stealing all your plant trays.</s>
*<s>Better: Ask Medbay to print you a spare chem dispenser board. After very basic research (Biological Technology), the medical protolathe is able to print chem dispenser boards.</s>
*<s>Or: Grab the spare chem dispenser board from tech storage. The AI, silicons and all members of the Engineering department can let you in.</s>
*<s>For stock parts: Print them from a public autolathe (if such has been built) or ask RnD/Engineering for a part replacer with stock parts. The parts are: 2 matter bins, 1 capacitor, 1 micro-manipulator, 1 power cell, 1 glass sheet. </s>
*<s>For stock parts you can also disassemble a hydroponics tray and a cell charger. A cell can then be found or gotten from disassembling a cyborg recharger.</s>
*Just use your Minor Botanical Chem Dispenser. It can give you mutagen, saltpetre and water roundstart and with t4 parts you can get plantbgone, weedkiller, pestkiller and diethylamine.
===[[file:Ambrosia_gaia.png]] Upgrading plant trays===
Composting enough plants that contain Earthsblood (20 units from plants like [[#Ambrosia gaia|Ambrosia Gaia]]) into a tray will give it a golden shine. Now it will no longer require water, fertilizer or weed/pest removal.

This is great in combination with plants that have the Perennial Growth [[#Traits|trait]]! A lot of Botanists will upgrade their trays before getting started with actual hydroponics.

Upgraded trays permanently contain the last fertilizer you used before the upgrade. Robust Harvest is usually the best choice.

Instead of keeping the original Gaia plant that most likely has gimped stats - insert the Earthsblood production [[#Traits|trait]] into a more robust plant.

If your DNA extractor hasn't been upgraded yet: Wheat has a production speed of 1 and good overall stats. If you're lucky, your station will have 50 potency Wheat bushels just lying around at roundstart.

You can speed up the process by removing all contents but Earthsblood production and adding the Densified Chemicals (Redbeet) [[#Traits|trait]].
===[[file:Replicapodplant.png]] Replica Pod Cloning ===
Replica pods can be used to grow dead people back to life - even when their brain and head are missing.

To clone someone, follow these simple steps:
* Take a blood sample from the body using a syringe.
*Inject it into the bag of seeds.
*Plant the seeds.
*Let the plant grow and then harvest it.
*If the ghost of the corpse is still online, and did not turn on "Do not Resuscitate", that person will be cloned as a [[Podman]].
*If there was no ghost available, the resulting harvest will simply produce a new pack of seeds.
The [[Podman|podmen]] are a little different from normal humans. E.g. they regenerate in light but suffer in darkness and don't get attacked by bees.

Cabbage can be mutated into Replica Pod.
===Strange Seeds===
Strange seeds (from hacked vendors or cargo crates) have completely random reagents and [[#Traits|traits]].

Notable examples are:
*Gaseous Decomposition
*Nitroglycerin
*Microbes (Fungal Tuberculosis)
*Any drink, like Gin Tonic or Beepsky Smash
*Glitter
*Plasmaman Mutation Toxin
*Hell Water
Of course, this is pretty gimmicky and unreliable.
===[[file:Kudzuplant.png]] Kudzu {{anchor|Kudzu}}===
Kudzu is a weed that can appear when adding 5u [[Guide_to_chemistry#Unstable Mutagen|Unstable Mutagen]] to a tray with a weed level of 5 or above. The tray version of kudzu will grow normally in its tray. When harvested it will produce kudzu pods [[File:Kudzu.png]]. The kudzu pod is like any other fruit/vegetable and can be eaten or grinded. To create wild-spreading kudzu, you must put a kudzu pod into a seed extractor, which will create packs of kudzu seeds [[File:Kudzuseed.png]]. Then activate a kudzu seed in your hand to start planting wild-spreading kudzu on the floor. 
Some plant stats will affect the wild-spreading version of kudzu in specific ways:
*Potency of the seed will make kudzu mutate more on spread, the chance to mutate on each new piece is '''[potency / 10]'''
*Production will affect how fast the kudzu can spread, usual kudzu spreads at a rate of 20% of the amount of pieces per tick but no more than 30, production changes the cap '''[30 * production / 50]''' and the percent of processed pieces per tick '''[20 * (production / 50)]'''
Killing the last piece of kudzu will create a kudzu seed in its place with all the ackumulated mutations saved in the seed. So if you reactivate it, the new kudzu on the floor will have all the same mutations the seed had, and will spread it to all its progenitors. You can examine a wild kudzu to see what mutations it has. When mutating it typically changes color. 
Kudzu can gain mutations only on spread, here is the list of all of them:
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed">
Click expand to see Kudzu [[#Traits|traits]] and mutations:
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
*'''CO2 consumption''' - ''positive'' mutation, consumes CO2 from the air
*<s>'''Space covering''' - ''positive'' mutation, makes vines grow vine floors over space</s> Removed as of August 23 2017.
*'''Light''' - ''positive'' mutation, about 40% of the vines with this mutation emit light slightly more powerful than PDA
*'''Transparency''' - ''positive'' mutation, makes vines look-through
*'''Toxins consumption''' - ''positive'' mutation, absorbs plasma from the air
*<s>'''Bluespace vines''' - ''minor negative'' mutation, makes vines be able to grow through anything</s> Removed as of August 23 2017.
*'''Explosive''' - ''minor negative'' mutation, on death vines with this mutation explode with 0,0,2 power, so clusters of this vine will chain-explode one after another
*'''Fire resistant''' - ''minor negative'' mutation, makes vines ignore fire damage, be it plasma fires or welders
*'''Vine eating''' - ''minor negative'' mutation, vines with this mutation will eat vines without it
*'''Toxicity''' - ''negative'' mutation, eating vine with this mutation or walking thought it will cause you toxin damage
*'''Aggressive spreading''' - ''negative'' mutation, on spreading vines will cause effect of mini-explosion on the tile they spread to, mobs buckled by this vine will also experience effects akin to minor explosion
*'''O2 consumption''' - ''negative'' mutation, absorbs O2 from the air around
*'''N2 consumption''' - ''negative'' mutation, absorbs N2 from the air
*'''Thorns''' - ''negative'' mutation, makes mobs touching or going through vines recieve physical damage
*'''Hardening''' - ''negative'' mutation, makes vines not die fast from sharp objects, but makes non-sharp objects(hands included) be more effective agaisnt them, on the full maturation block the passage
*'''Flowering''' - ''negative'' mutation, makes vines very entangly and spawns harmful flowers occasionally, flowers after destruction spawn flower mob that is agressive and attacks

Adding special chemicals to the tray when the seeds are growing will affect the specific kudzu mutations:
* Adding ''5u'' of '''welding fuel''' will remove random ''positive'' mutation with a ''20%'' probability
*Adding ''5u'' of '''phenol''' will remove a random ''minor negative'' mutation with a ''20%'' probability
* Adding ''5u'' of '''sterilizine''' will remove a random ''negative'' mutation with a ''20%'' probability
*Adding ''15u'' of '''blood''' will change the production value of the seeds by a random number in the range from ''-5 to +15''
*Adding ''5u'' of '''amatoxin''' will change the production value of the seeds by a random number in the range from ''-15 to +5''
*Adding ''5u'' of '''plasma''' will change the potency value of the seeds by a random number in the range from ''-15 to +5''
*Adding ''10u'' of '''holy water''' will change a potency value of the seeds by a random number in the range from ''-5 to +15''

===Sandstone and Soil===
If you pick up the grass and use it (click on it in your hand), you will prepare astroturf. Get a crowbar and remove some floor tiles, then place astroturf in their place. In addition to looking nice, it can be used to get some sand. Just dig it with your spade and you'll get two piles. Now, pick up the sand and use it; you will make a sandstone brick. Using three bricks, you can make a soil plot, which is like a tray, except you can walk over it and there are no lights. You can also build a sandstone door with 10 bricks.

Science can [[Guide_to_advanced_construction#Hydroponics_Tray|build]] hydroponics trays. They can also upgrade them by replacing the matter bins, and this increases the water and nutrient capacity of the tray.
===Wood and Drying Racks===
First you need to get some tower-caps, grow them and harvest them. You can then use hatchet (and some other things, but it's not important) on the logs to chop some planks. They have many uses: you can make chairs, tables, wooden floors and so on. A unique thing here is a drying rack. You can use it to dry a plant, and then smoke it. First, build a rack with 10 planks. Then, grab a plant you want to dry and put it in the rack. Click on the rack and toggle drying so that the red arrows light up. Give it a few seconds and it's done.

Note: you can dry ''any'' plant, and smoking it will give you all chemicals that were in it. You can smoke dried apples if you want, and get nutriment from them.

===[[File:Wooden_barrel.png]] Fermentation Barrel===
You can craft wooden barrels with the crafting menu (under tribal), which requires 30 wood planks [[File:Planks.png]]. Clicking it will toggle it between open and closed. When open you can insert plants or liquid. When closed you can draw liquid by using a container on it. 
Inserting a plant into the barrel will ferment the plant after a few seconds (even if not closing it). This will grind the plant, adding all the plant's contained reagents to the barrel. But it can also add an additional reagent depending on plant used. Most plants will create a special [[Guide_to_food_and_drinks#Wine|wine]] with varied boozepower depending on plant used. Some plants will create other reagents than wine, and some plants will not work at all.
===Things You Can Make Out of Your Plants===
*Add some cable to a potato to make a potato battery. Botany cells have potential to be better than bluespace cells.
*Glowberries and glowshrooms, as the name suggests, glow.
*You can carve a pumpkin with a hatchet. Carved pumpkins can be worn and you can toggle them to emit a weak light.
*You can make a cob-pipe out of a corn cob.
*You can carve a carrot with a hatchet to make a shiv. It's not very strong but it's good at slicing things.
*Flowers and ambrosia can be worn on your head.
* Add dried ambrosia, wheat, tea aspera tips or tobacco leaves to a tower cap log to make a torch.
*Dried ambrosia, tobacco or any mutations of those are able to be smoked from wrapping paper, found in smoking vending machines. You can also grind them and put the liquid in an e-cig.
==Todo list for this guide ==
*Add missing/fix outdated entries in the plant reference chart
*Add some icons and pictures to break up the wall of text
==Another guide==
Since Botany is relatively easy to learn but hard to master, here is an extra guide that focuses on a more practical, step-by-step point of view.
Also includes a lot of extra "recipes" for what you can turn your plants into.

Guide to hydroponics

2023-02-20T14:30:08Z

Wrill: Corrected "Strong Bioluminescence" to "White bioluminescence"

[[File:Hydroponics.png|frame|right|Hydroponics. This is your home.]]
== Basics of Botany ==
[[Hydroponics]] and the [[Botanist]]s who work there are important to the station, especially in longer rounds. Botanists grow plants that the [[Chef]] can use for food. Without botany, the station will have to live off of beef jerky and space twinkies, or starve to death.
=== Your Area ===
Hydroponics is divided into two rooms. The big section is where you'll spend most of your time growing goods. Trays are available where you grow plants and two vending machines, one with seeds and the other with miscellaneous items such as nutrients and tools for your job. The bio-generator can be used to grind plants and produce things for the station. In tandem is the seed dispenser used to reproduce your product. The northern area is where you can grab most of the equipment needed to work in botany.

Plants require nutrients (fertilizer) and water to grow. They are also bothered by pests and weeds. 
Trays come equipped with lights that flash specific colors to tell you what's happening with your plant.

From left to right -
* '''Green''': Ready to harvest.
* '''Red''': Low health, caused by weeds/pests/toxins/end of lifespan.
* '''Orange''': High weed level.
* '''Yellow''': Low nutrients.
* '''Blue''': Low water.
Tools that are of use in botany -
* {{anchor|Plant_Analyzer}}'''Plant Analyzer''': Shows detailed detailed plant statistics. Very useful for growing fragile plants like Ambrosia Deus.
* {{anchor|Cultivator}}'''Cultivator''': Kills Weeds.
* '''Plant Bag''': Collects up to 50 items or 100 seeds from your harvest. Useful for moving those into the fridge or biogenerator.
* '''Wrench''': Used to move your trays around.
* '''Wirecutters''': Used to set up the irrigation system. If 30u or more of water is put into trays while the irrigation is set up, water will be shared across trays. This will also distribute things like mutagen and plant killer.
* {{anchor|Hatchet}}'''Hatchet''': Chops tower-caps into planks, chops other things. This is also a robust tool that fits in pockets.
* {{anchor|Shovel}}'''Shovel''': Digs up grass floors and cleans dirt.
* {{anchor|Spade}}'''Spade''': Removes and destroys plants in a tray.
* '''All-In-One Grinder''': This is how you extract reagents from plants - throw them in and hit the "grind" button.
* '''Portable Seed Extractor''': This can harvest and pick up plants and turn up to 100 plants into seeds. Less efficient than the machine.
=== [[File:Seed_Extractor.gif|Seed Extractor]] Plant growing 101 ===
Take some seeds from the vendor and put them into the trays. Now, take a look at the tray with a plant analyzer. For now, you only need to pay attention to the bottom five stats - '''Water/Nutrition''' and '''Weeds/Toxic/Pest''' levels. 
Now, fill a bucket from the water tank and grab fertilizer from the vending machine. You get rid of weeds with the cultivator and remove pests with pest spray. [[Chemistry]] can give you better chemicals for this, which will be explained later in the guide. 
Some plants have a varied growth times, such as wheat growing faster while watermelons or apple trees take a little longer before you can harvest from them. 
Once your tray flashes green, you're set to harvest. If you want to replicate the plant to continue growing more, just insert it into the seed extractor. 
You can click seeds with a pen to change the name of the plant, the seed's description, or the plant's description. After planting in a hydroponics tray the tray updates with the name and description of the plant inside it.
=== [[File:Biogenerator.gif|Bio-generator]] Biogenerator ===
The Biogenerator makes items out of the nutriment in plants. As a rule of thumb: More nutriment = more biomass. Watermelons and pumpkins are commonly used due to their 20% nutriment boost [[#Traits|trait]]. 
To get biomass, grab a spare bucket and equip the machine with it, then use the plant bag to put fruits inside. 
If you somehow run out of fertilizer in the vendors, remember you can print the three standard fertilizers here. Keep in mind that you can craft a whole bunch of useful items from the leather/cloth sheets the biogenerator creates.
=== [[File:plant dna manip.gif]]DNA Extractor ===
The DNA extractor allows you to extract and modify seed stats and [[#Traits|traits]]. This machine is what lets you become a [[Chemist]] on speed.

This is a little complex, so look at: [[Guide_to_hydroponics#Advanced_Botany|Advanced Botany]]
== Stats, reagents and traits ==
Three things determine how your plant will turn out: Their '''stats''', '''reagents''' and '''[[#Traits|traits]]'''.
=== Stats ===
Stats determine whether your plants are small and grow slowly, or are big and fast-growing.
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed">
Click expand to see what stats do:
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
* '''Potency''': The most important stat (0 to 100). This affects the amount of chemicals in the plant, though some have additional effects, such as stun length for bananas. 
To get the amount of a given chemical in a plant, multiply the reagent in the chart by the potency: for example, 10% nutriment will be 5 nutriment at 50 potency.
* '''Yield''': How much product you get each harvest. Between 0 and 10. Pay attention to this, because if it drops to 0, you won't harvest anything.
* '''Production Speed''': How fast your plant reaches harvest. Between 1 and 10 -- the '''lower''' the faster. The plant has to wait (Production Speed) age cycles before each harvest.
* '''Maturation Speed''': Age cycles before the plant can start production. The first harvest will be (Maturation Speed + Production Speed).
* '''Lifespan''': When the age is above lifespan, the plant starts losing health. Between 10 and 100. Only important for plants with the Perennial Growth [[#Traits|trait]].
* '''Age''': Age of the plant. Only relevant in terms of the lifespan stat.
* '''Endurance''': Max health. Between 10 and 100. Not very useful, unless you leave your garden often.
* '''Weed growth rate''': Determines how quickly weeds grow in the plant tray. Only relevant with very high values.
* '''Weed vulnerability''': The higher, the more easily a plant is overtaken by weeds. Only relevant with very high values.
</div>
</div>
=== Reagents/Content ===
This determines what chemicals are present in a grown plant - the [[Guide_to_hydroponics#Advanced_Botany|DNA extractor]] lets you extract and splice these. 
With a bit of creativity, you can mix your own mutagen, produce unique healing chemicals or turn tomatoes into napalm grenades. Solid [[Guide_to_chemistry|Chemistry]] knowledge will help you out immensely. 
For a detailed list, check out: [[Guide_to_hydroponics#Plant reference chart|Plant reference chart]]
=== Traits ===
Traits give your plants unique properties. There are plenty - Perennial Growth for example lets you harvest plants multiple times. 
These can be transferred, just like reagents.

==[[File:Vendnutri.gif]] Chemicals==
A lot of chemicals influence plants - get these from the vending machine, [[Chemistry]] or by growing your own!
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-uncollapsed">
Click expand to see a list of chemicals:
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
===Fertilizers===
*Nutriment: A fertilizer that adds 1 nutrient to the tray and heals the plant 0.5 health per unit added. You can get it by putting your plants and regular food in the grinder.
*[[Ammonia]]: Similar to nutriment, but also increases yield (25u to increase 1 yield). Get it from the [[Chemist]] or hack the Nutri-Vend to get this.
*[[Diethylamine]]: Adds 2 nutrient to the tray, heals the plant 1 health per unit added and increases yield (50u to increase 1 yield). Also kills pests. Get it the same way you get Ammonia.
* Saltpetre: Heals your plant, increases potency and decreases production time. Doesn't add nutrient to the tray.
*Robust Harvest: Adds 1 nutrient to the tray per unit, and permanently increases plant yield of the tray 30% (without mutating the plant). Doesn't work on plants with 0 yield. A tray can only have the modifiers of one of the three special fertilizers at a time (Robust Harvest, E-Z-Nutrient and Left 4 Zed).
===Pest Removal===
* Pest Killer: Kills pests, and adds a small amount of toxicity.
*Weed Killer: Same as above, but for Weeds.
=== Mutation===
*E-Z-Nutrient: Makes your plant mutate once every time it's ready for harvesting, and resets the tray's yield modifier to x1 (if another special fertilizer had previously been used on the tray). A tray can only have the modifiers of one of the three special fertilizers at a time (Robust Harvest, E-Z-Nutrient and Left 4 Zed).
*Left 4 Zed: Makes your plant mutate twice, but the yield will permanently be 1 at best. If the plant's yield is 0, then nothing is produced! You'll have to use another mutagen to harvest the normal yield of the plant. A tray can only have the modifiers of one of the three special fertilizers at a time (Robust Harvest, E-Z-Nutrient and Left 4 Zed).
*[[Unstable Mutagen]]: Used to randomly mutate plants - 5u for a chance to change the plant type, 1u/2u to only change stats.
*Radium and Uranium: Also usable for mutation (10u for plant type, 2u/5u for stats), but damages plants and adds toxicity. Radium is more damaging.
===Plant Meds ===
*[[Ash]]: Adds 0.5 nutrient to the tray, heals the plant 0.25 health per unit added and kills weeds.
*[[Guide_to_chemistry#Multiver|charcoal]]: Makes your plant less toxic. You can get it by whining to anyone who works in [[Medbay]].
*[[Cryoxadone]]: Heals your plant, via <s>miracles</s> science. Also lowers toxicity. Don't expect the [[Chemist]] to give this to you, but the medbay probably has extra beakers of this.
*Holy water: If you can get the [[Chaplain]]'s attention and make him bless your water, it will heal your plant a bit.
===Unorthodox chemicals===
*Soda Water: Mostly adds water, but also heals the plant and adds nutrient to the tray by a tiny amount.
*Milk: Adds some water and a tiny but of nutrient to the tray.
*Beer: Adds a bit of water and nutrient to the tray, but damages the plant a little.
*Blood: Feeds both your plant and pests.
*Virus Food: Adds nutrient to the tray while damaging the plant.
*Nicotine: Kills pests while adding toxicity.
===The bad stuff===
*Sugar: Makes pests and weeds grow stronger. Unless you [[Traitor|plan to use unstable mutagen to unleash giant spiders or Kudzu upon the station]], it's of no use.
* Toxin: Increases toxicity. Good job!
*Plant-B-Gone, Sulphuric Acid, Fluorosulfuric Acid: Damages the plant, adds toxicity and kills weeds. What do you think would happen?
*Fluorine, Chlorine: Same as above, but also drains water.
*Phosphorus: Same as Flourine/Chlorine, but adds nutrients to the tray instead of toxicity. Just use a spade.
* Napalm: Kills weeds, hurts plant and adds toxicity. This is just going downhill. Unless your plant has the fireproof [[#Traits|trait]], you might as well space the whole tray. On fireproof plants it will just kill weeds.
*[[Guide_to_chemistry#Strange_Reagent|Strange Reagent]]: Is supposed to spawn hostile plant creatures but currently doesn't work.

==[[File:Apiary.png|Beekeeping]] [[Beekeeping]]==
Bees greatly increase plant yield, potency and the probability of you getting lynched. Great stuff, and very useful even if you're no traitor!

[[File:Bee.gif]] [[Beekeeping|For more info, click here for the guide on beepeeking.]] [[File:Bee.gif]]

==Advanced Botany==
This is where you get to PLAY GOD and mess with the stats, reagents and [[#Traits|traits]] of plants. 
===Using the DNA manipulator===
1. Go to the locker in the back and take out the box of plant data disks. 
2. Load a disk into the machine along with any seed of choice. 
3. Extract any gene, this will destroy the seed and save it to the disk. 
4. Put in another seed. 
5. You can now modify the seed's stats and genes based on what's on the plant data disk. 
Obviously, this can be quite powerful in the right hands, and even for more basic tasks it can be a major boon.

It is worth noting, however, that the DNA manipulator has an upper limit on how high a stat can be when you try to extract it and save it to disk, and any stats higher than that will be brought down to that cap. Though these caps can be lowered or eliminated if you can get RnD to upgrade your machine, at round-start the caps are very bad, with certain stats like production speed being capped at a level worse than what nearly every plant has initially. [[#Traits|Traits]], on the other hand, can be extracted just fine no matter what parts are used.

Useful genes from default seeds:
* Wheat has a production speed of 1, the fastest possible.
*Tower-caps have very long lifespans (around 80), as well as potency and endurance stats of 50.
*Tobacco plants have a yield of 10, the cap for that stat.
*Apples have the perennial growth [[#Traits|trait]], which allows for you to get multiple harvests from a single plant.
*Watermelon has an endurance nearly on par with tower-caps, making it a good substitute when starting out so you can avoid using up all of your starting tower-cap seeds.
Some genes are unextractable.
 
===Mutations ===
You can mutate plants to A) change stats or B) mutate them into a different subspecies. To do this in a timely manner, you'll need to work with the [[Chemistry]] department.
*The agonizingly slow way is using '''E-Z Nutriment''' to make the plant mutate once every time it's ready to harvest. '''Left 4 Zed''' makes it mutate twice, but kills the yield!

*You can speed up the process to bearable levels by asking your local [[Chemist]] for a few bottles of '''[[Guide_to_chemistry#Unstable Mutagen|Unstable Mutagen]]'''. 
Pour 5 units on your plant and prepare for...
*10% chance of '''mutation into a related species'''. This destroys the old plant and plants a new one. See the [[Guide_to_hydroponics#Plant reference chart|Plant reference chart]] for information on these mutations.
* 10% chance of the '''plant losing lots of health instantly'''. The plant can die because of this
*15% chance of '''heavy stat mutation''' with a 3% chance of a new [[#Traits|trait]] appearing.
* 15% chance of '''normal stat mutation'''.
*20% chance of '''nothing'''. You get a message when this happens.
*10% chance of '''weeds mutating'''. If weed level is less than 5, nothing happens, otherwise you get a random, special mutated weed (Kudzu, Deathnettle, Destroying Angel, Liberty Cap).
*10% chance of '''pests mutating'''. Again, if pest level is less than 5, nothing happens. Otherwise, spiderlings are spawned.
**This is '''bad'''. If the spiderlings escape, they'll grow big and you'll likely get lynched.
Or, if you don't want to bother with species mutation, pour 2 units for a guaranteed heavy stat mutation with a 3% chance of a new [[#Traits|trait]] appearing, or even 1 for a guaranteed normal stat mutation. This method is safe even if you don't have backup seeds, and you can use a bottle for it.
*You can use '''radium''' and '''uranium''', but they cause ill effects, and if you can get radium, you can get mutagen.

*R&D can also research a wonderful thing called a '''Floral Somatoray'''. It has two options: increase yield and mutate the plant. In yield more mode, every time you fire it at the plant, there is a chance the yield will increase. The chance becomes very small when you reach high levels, but it's very useful for low-yield plants. It can even raise yield from zero! In mutation mode, it will always induce a normal stat mutation.
===Fixing awful stats===
Mutating plants has a chance of really ruining stats. Luckily, there are a few ways to fix them:
*Unstable Mutagen. Using 1u slightly changes stats, 2u has more drastic effects.
* Saltpetre. Increases potency and decreases production time.
*Ammonia. Increases yield.
*Floral Somatoray. Increases yield and works as a substitute for Unstable Mutagen.
===Dude weeds===
Trays, whether empty or occupied by plants, can be occasionally overtaken by a weed if their level is 5 or more. In that case the old plant is destroyed, and a new one will sprout in its place.

Possible plants include:
*1/6 chance for Reishi/Starshittle.
*1/9 chance for Nettle/Harebell/Amanita/Chanterelle/Tower Cap/Plump Helmets
Using 5u of unstable mutagen on high weed level trays results in different plants:
*Kudzu, Deathnettle, Destroying Angel, Liberty Cap
==Other Notes==

===[[file:Bottle.png]] Growing your own mutagen===
Not robust enough to steal a chem dispenser? Try this out.
*First, plant pumpkins and mutate them into blumpkins.
*Now, insert their Chlorine production [[#Traits|trait]] into glowshrooms and remove the Nutriment one.
* That's it! You now have a plant that grows unstable mutagen - just pop the produce into the grinder.
*You might want to add Densified Chemicals from Redbeets as well as Perennial Growth to optimize your harvest.
===[[File:Dispenser.png]] Other ways to mutagen ===
Chemistry is <s>busy curing the plague</s> too high to help you out?
*<s>Bad idea: Steal a chem dispenser. This will start a blood feud and is one of the biggest reasons why Botanists are hated by some. Think of it as someone stealing all your plant trays.</s>
*<s>Better: Ask Medbay to print you a spare chem dispenser board. After very basic research (Biological Technology), the medical protolathe is able to print chem dispenser boards.</s>
*<s>Or: Grab the spare chem dispenser board from tech storage. The AI, silicons and all members of the Engineering department can let you in.</s>
*<s>For stock parts: Print them from a public autolathe (if such has been built) or ask RnD/Engineering for a part replacer with stock parts. The parts are: 2 matter bins, 1 capacitor, 1 micro-manipulator, 1 power cell, 1 glass sheet. </s>
*<s>For stock parts you can also disassemble a hydroponics tray and a cell charger. A cell can then be found or gotten from disassembling a cyborg recharger.</s>
*Just use your Minor Botanical Chem Dispenser. It can give you mutagen, saltpetre and water roundstart and with t4 parts you can get plantbgone, weedkiller, pestkiller and diethylamine.
===[[file:Ambrosia_gaia.png]] Upgrading plant trays===
Composting enough plants that contain Earthsblood (20 units from plants like [[#Ambrosia gaia|Ambrosia Gaia]]) into a tray will give it a golden shine. Now it will no longer require water, fertilizer or weed/pest removal.

This is great in combination with plants that have the Perennial Growth [[#Traits|trait]]! A lot of Botanists will upgrade their trays before getting started with actual hydroponics.

Upgraded trays permanently contain the last fertilizer you used before the upgrade. Robust Harvest is usually the best choice.

Instead of keeping the original Gaia plant that most likely has gimped stats - insert the Earthsblood production [[#Traits|trait]] into a more robust plant.

If your DNA extractor hasn't been upgraded yet: Wheat has a production speed of 1 and good overall stats. If you're lucky, your station will have 50 potency Wheat bushels just lying around at roundstart.

You can speed up the process by removing all contents but Earthsblood production and adding the Densified Chemicals (Redbeet) [[#Traits|trait]].
===[[file:Replicapodplant.png]] Replica Pod Cloning ===
Replica pods can be used to grow dead people back to life - even when their brain and head are missing.

To clone someone, follow these simple steps:
* Take a blood sample from the body using a syringe.
*Inject it into the bag of seeds.
*Plant the seeds.
*Let the plant grow and then harvest it.
*If the ghost of the corpse is still online, and did not turn on "Do not Resuscitate", that person will be cloned as a [[Podman]].
*If there was no ghost available, the resulting harvest will simply produce a new pack of seeds.
The [[Podman|podmen]] are a little different from normal humans. E.g. they regenerate in light but suffer in darkness and don't get attacked by bees.

Cabbage can be mutated into Replica Pod.
===Strange Seeds===
Strange seeds (from hacked vendors or cargo crates) have completely random reagents and [[#Traits|traits]].

Notable examples are:
*Gaseous Decomposition
*Nitroglycerin
*Microbes (Fungal Tuberculosis)
*Any drink, like Gin Tonic or Beepsky Smash
*Glitter
*Plasmaman Mutation Toxin
*Hell Water
Of course, this is pretty gimmicky and unreliable.
===[[file:Kudzuplant.png]] Kudzu {{anchor|Kudzu}}===
Kudzu is a weed that can appear when adding 5u [[Guide_to_chemistry#Unstable Mutagen|Unstable Mutagen]] to a tray with a weed level of 5 or above. The tray version of kudzu will grow normally in its tray. When harvested it will produce kudzu pods [[File:Kudzu.png]]. The kudzu pod is like any other fruit/vegetable and can be eaten or grinded. To create wild-spreading kudzu, you must put a kudzu pod into a seed extractor, which will create packs of kudzu seeds [[File:Kudzuseed.png]]. Then activate a kudzu seed in your hand to start planting wild-spreading kudzu on the floor. 
Some plant stats will affect the wild-spreading version of kudzu in specific ways:
*Potency of the seed will make kudzu mutate more on spread, the chance to mutate on each new piece is '''[potency / 10]'''
*Production will affect how fast the kudzu can spread, usual kudzu spreads at a rate of 20% of the amount of pieces per tick but no more than 30, production changes the cap '''[30 * production / 50]''' and the percent of processed pieces per tick '''[20 * (production / 50)]'''
Killing the last piece of kudzu will create a kudzu seed in its place with all the ackumulated mutations saved in the seed. So if you reactivate it, the new kudzu on the floor will have all the same mutations the seed had, and will spread it to all its progenitors. You can examine a wild kudzu to see what mutations it has. When mutating it typically changes color. 
Kudzu can gain mutations only on spread, here is the list of all of them:

===Sandstone and Soil===
If you pick up the grass and use it (click on it in your hand), you will prepare astroturf. Get a crowbar and remove some floor tiles, then place astroturf in their place. In addition to looking nice, it can be used to get some sand. Just dig it with your spade and you'll get two piles. Now, pick up the sand and use it; you will make a sandstone brick. Using three bricks, you can make a soil plot, which is like a tray, except you can walk over it and there are no lights. You can also build a sandstone door with 10 bricks.

Science can [[Guide_to_advanced_construction#Hydroponics_Tray|build]] hydroponics trays. They can also upgrade them by replacing the matter bins, and this increases the water and nutrient capacity of the tray.
===Wood and Drying Racks===
First you need to get some tower-caps, grow them and harvest them. You can then use hatchet (and some other things, but it's not important) on the logs to chop some planks. They have many uses: you can make chairs, tables, wooden floors and so on. A unique thing here is a drying rack. You can use it to dry a plant, and then smoke it. First, build a rack with 10 planks. Then, grab a plant you want to dry and put it in the rack. Click on the rack and toggle drying so that the red arrows light up. Give it a few seconds and it's done.

Note: you can dry ''any'' plant, and smoking it will give you all chemicals that were in it. You can smoke dried apples if you want, and get nutriment from them.

===[[File:Wooden_barrel.png]] Fermentation Barrel===
You can craft wooden barrels with the crafting menu (under tribal), which requires 30 wood planks [[File:Planks.png]]. Clicking it will toggle it between open and closed. When open you can insert plants or liquid. When closed you can draw liquid by using a container on it. 
Inserting a plant into the barrel will ferment the plant after a few seconds (even if not closing it). This will grind the plant, adding all the plant's contained reagents to the barrel. But it can also add an additional reagent depending on plant used. Most plants will create a special [[Guide_to_food_and_drinks#Wine|wine]] with varied boozepower depending on plant used. Some plants will create other reagents than wine, and some plants will not work at all.
===Things You Can Make Out of Your Plants===
*Add some cable to a potato to make a potato battery. Botany cells have potential to be better than bluespace cells.
*Glowberries and glowshrooms, as the name suggests, glow.
*You can carve a pumpkin with a hatchet. Carved pumpkins can be worn and you can toggle them to emit a weak light.
*You can make a cob-pipe out of a corn cob.
*You can carve a carrot with a hatchet to make a shiv. It's not very strong but it's good at slicing things.
*Flowers and ambrosia can be worn on your head.
* Add dried ambrosia, wheat, tea aspera tips or tobacco leaves to a tower cap log to make a torch.
*Dried ambrosia, tobacco or any mutations of those are able to be smoked from wrapping paper, found in smoking vending machines. You can also grind them and put the liquid in an e-cig.
==Todo list for this guide ==
*Add missing/fix outdated entries in the plant reference chart
*Add some icons and pictures to break up the wall of text
==Another guide==
Since Botany is relatively easy to learn but hard to master, here is an extra guide that focuses on a more practical, step-by-step point of view.
Also includes a lot of extra "recipes" for what you can turn your plants into.

Guide to hydroponics

2023-01-17T18:48:04Z

Wrill: Electrical activity shocks aren't guaranteed.

[[File:Hydroponics.png|frame|right|Hydroponics. This is your home.]]
== Basics of Botany ==
[[Hydroponics]] and the [[Botanist]]s who work there are important to the station, especially in longer rounds. Botanists grow plants that the [[Chef]] can use for food. Without botany, the station will have to live off of beef jerky and space twinkies, or starve to death.
=== Your Area ===
Hydroponics is divided into two rooms. The big section is where you'll spend most of your time growing goods. Trays are available where you grow plants and two vending machines, one with seeds and the other with miscellaneous items such as nutrients and tools for your job. The bio-generator can be used to grind plants and produce things for the station. In tandem is the seed dispenser used to reproduce your product. The northern area is where you can grab most of the equipment needed to work in botany.

Plants require nutrients (fertilizer) and water to grow. They are also bothered by pests and weeds. 
Trays come equipped with lights that flash specific colors to tell you what's happening with your plant.

From left to right -
* '''Green''': Ready to harvest.
* '''Red''': Low health, caused by weeds/pests/toxins/end of lifespan.
* '''Orange''': High weed level.
* '''Yellow''': Low nutrients.
* '''Blue''': Low water.
Tools that are of use in botany -
* {{anchor|Plant_Analyzer}}'''Plant Analyzer''': Shows detailed detailed plant statistics. Very useful for growing fragile plants like Ambrosia Deus.
* {{anchor|Cultivator}}'''Cultivator''': Kills Weeds.
* '''Plant Bag''': Collects up to 50 items or 100 seeds from your harvest. Useful for moving those into the fridge or biogenerator.
* '''Wrench''': Used to move your trays around.
* '''Wirecutters''': Used to set up the irrigation system. If 30u or more of water is put into trays while the irrigation is set up, water will be shared across trays. This will also distribute things like mutagen and plant killer.
* {{anchor|Hatchet}}'''Hatchet''': Chops tower-caps into planks, chops other things. This is also a robust tool that fits in pockets.
* {{anchor|Shovel}}'''Shovel''': Digs up grass floors and cleans dirt.
* {{anchor|Spade}}'''Spade''': Removes and destroys plants in a tray.
* '''All-In-One Grinder''': This is how you extract reagents from plants - throw them in and hit the "grind" button.
* '''Portable Seed Extractor''': This can harvest and pick up plants and turn up to 100 plants into seeds. Less efficient than the machine.
=== [[File:Seed_Extractor.gif|Seed Extractor]] Plant growing 101 ===
Take some seeds from the vendor and put them into the trays. Now, take a look at the tray with a plant analyzer. For now, you only need to pay attention to the bottom five stats - '''Water/Nutrition''' and '''Weeds/Toxic/Pest''' levels. 
Now, fill a bucket from the water tank and grab fertilizer from the vending machine. You get rid of weeds with the cultivator and remove pests with pest spray. [[Chemistry]] can give you better chemicals for this, which will be explained later in the guide. 
Some plants have a varied growth times, such as wheat growing faster while watermelons or apple trees take a little longer before you can harvest from them. 
Once your tray flashes green, you're set to harvest. If you want to replicate the plant to continue growing more, just insert it into the seed extractor. 
You can click seeds with a pen to change the name of the plant, the seed's description, or the plant's description. After planting in a hydroponics tray the tray updates with the name and description of the plant inside it.
=== [[File:Biogenerator.gif|Bio-generator]] Biogenerator ===
The Biogenerator makes items out of the nutriment in plants. As a rule of thumb: More nutriment = more biomass. Watermelons and pumpkins are commonly used due to their 20% nutriment boost [[#Traits|trait]]. 
To get biomass, grab a spare bucket and equip the machine with it, then use the plant bag to put fruits inside. 
If you somehow run out of fertilizer in the vendors, remember you can print the three standard fertilizers here. Keep in mind that you can craft a whole bunch of useful items from the leather/cloth sheets the biogenerator creates.
=== [[File:plant dna manip.gif]]DNA Extractor ===
The DNA extractor allows you to extract and modify seed stats and [[#Traits|traits]]. This machine is what lets you become a [[Chemist]] on speed.

This is a little complex, so look at: [[Guide_to_hydroponics#Advanced_Botany|Advanced Botany]]
== Stats, reagents and traits ==
Three things determine how your plant will turn out: Their '''stats''', '''reagents''' and '''[[#Traits|traits]]'''.
=== Stats ===
Stats determine whether your plants are small and grow slowly, or are big and fast-growing.
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed">
Click expand to see what stats do:
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
* '''Potency''': The most important stat (0 to 100). This affects the amount of chemicals in the plant, though some have additional effects, such as stun length for bananas. 
To get the amount of a given chemical in a plant, multiply the reagent in the chart by the potency: for example, 10% nutriment will be 5 nutriment at 50 potency.
* '''Yield''': How much product you get each harvest. Between 0 and 10. Pay attention to this, because if it drops to 0, you won't harvest anything.
* '''Production Speed''': How fast your plant reaches harvest. Between 1 and 10 -- the '''lower''' the faster. The plant has to wait (Production Speed) age cycles before each harvest.
* '''Maturation Speed''': Age cycles before the plant can start production. The first harvest will be (Maturation Speed + Production Speed).
* '''Lifespan''': When the age is above lifespan, the plant starts losing health. Between 10 and 100. Only important for plants with the Perennial Growth [[#Traits|trait]].
* '''Age''': Age of the plant. Only relevant in terms of the lifespan stat.
* '''Endurance''': Max health. Between 10 and 100. Not very useful, unless you leave your garden often.
* '''Weed growth rate''': Determines how quickly weeds grow in the plant tray. Only relevant with very high values.
* '''Weed vulnerability''': The higher, the more easily a plant is overtaken by weeds. Only relevant with very high values.
</div>
</div>
=== Reagents/Content ===
This determines what chemicals are present in a grown plant - the [[Guide_to_hydroponics#Advanced_Botany|DNA extractor]] lets you extract and splice these. 
With a bit of creativity, you can mix your own mutagen, produce unique healing chemicals or turn tomatoes into napalm grenades. Solid [[Guide_to_chemistry|Chemistry]] knowledge will help you out immensely. 
For a detailed list, check out: [[Guide_to_hydroponics#Plant reference chart|Plant reference chart]]
=== Traits ===
Traits give your plants unique properties. There are plenty - Perennial Growth for example lets you harvest plants multiple times. 
These can be transferred, just like reagents.

==[[File:Vendnutri.gif]] Chemicals==
A lot of chemicals influence plants - get these from the vending machine, [[Chemistry]] or by growing your own!
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-uncollapsed">
Click expand to see a list of chemicals:
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
===Fertilizers===
*Nutriment: A fertilizer that adds 1 nutrient to the tray and heals the plant 0.5 health per unit added. You can get it by putting your plants and regular food in the grinder.
*[[Ammonia]]: Similar to nutriment, but also increases yield (25u to increase 1 yield). Get it from the [[Chemist]] or hack the Nutri-Vend to get this.
*[[Diethylamine]]: Adds 2 nutrient to the tray, heals the plant 1 health per unit added and increases yield (50u to increase 1 yield). Also kills pests. Get it the same way you get Ammonia.
* Saltpetre: Heals your plant, increases potency and decreases production time. Doesn't add nutrient to the tray.
*Robust Harvest: Adds 1 nutrient to the tray per unit, and permanently increases plant yield of the tray 30% (without mutating the plant). Doesn't work on plants with 0 yield. A tray can only have the modifiers of one of the three special fertilizers at a time (Robust Harvest, E-Z-Nutrient and Left 4 Zed).
===Pest Removal===
* Pest Killer: Kills pests, and adds a small amount of toxicity.
*Weed Killer: Same as above, but for Weeds.
=== Mutation===
*E-Z-Nutrient: Makes your plant mutate once every time it's ready for harvesting, and resets the tray's yield modifier to x1 (if another special fertilizer had previously been used on the tray). A tray can only have the modifiers of one of the three special fertilizers at a time (Robust Harvest, E-Z-Nutrient and Left 4 Zed).
*Left 4 Zed: Makes your plant mutate twice, but the yield will permanently be 1 at best. If the plant's yield is 0, then nothing is produced! You'll have to use another mutagen to harvest the normal yield of the plant. A tray can only have the modifiers of one of the three special fertilizers at a time (Robust Harvest, E-Z-Nutrient and Left 4 Zed).
*[[Unstable Mutagen]]: Used to randomly mutate plants - 5u for a chance to change the plant type, 1u/2u to only change stats.
*Radium and Uranium: Also usable for mutation (10u for plant type, 2u/5u for stats), but damages plants and adds toxicity. Radium is more damaging.
===Plant Meds ===
*[[Ash]]: Adds 0.5 nutrient to the tray, heals the plant 0.25 health per unit added and kills weeds.
*[[Guide_to_chemistry#Multiver|charcoal]]: Makes your plant less toxic. You can get it by whining to anyone who works in [[Medbay]].
*[[Cryoxadone]]: Heals your plant, via <s>miracles</s> science. Also lowers toxicity. Don't expect the [[Chemist]] to give this to you, but the medbay probably has extra beakers of this.
*Holy water: If you can get the [[Chaplain]]'s attention and make him bless your water, it will heal your plant a bit.
===Unorthodox chemicals===
*Soda Water: Mostly adds water, but also heals the plant and adds nutrient to the tray by a tiny amount.
*Milk: Adds some water and a tiny but of nutrient to the tray.
*Beer: Adds a bit of water and nutrient to the tray, but damages the plant a little.
*Blood: Feeds both your plant and pests.
*Virus Food: Adds nutrient to the tray while damaging the plant.
*Nicotine: Kills pests while adding toxicity.
===The bad stuff===
*Sugar: Makes pests and weeds grow stronger. Unless you [[Traitor|plan to use unstable mutagen to unleash giant spiders or Kudzu upon the station]], it's of no use.
* Toxin: Increases toxicity. Good job!
*Plant-B-Gone, Sulphuric Acid, Fluorosulfuric Acid: Damages the plant, adds toxicity and kills weeds. What do you think would happen?
*Fluorine, Chlorine: Same as above, but also drains water.
*Phosphorus: Same as Flourine/Chlorine, but adds nutrients to the tray instead of toxicity. Just use a spade.
* Napalm: Kills weeds, hurts plant and adds toxicity. This is just going downhill. Unless your plant has the fireproof [[#Traits|trait]], you might as well space the whole tray. On fireproof plants it will just kill weeds.
*[[Guide_to_chemistry#Strange_Reagent|Strange Reagent]]: Is supposed to spawn hostile plant creatures but currently doesn't work.
</div>
</div>
==[[File:Apiary.png|Beekeeping]] [[Beekeeping]]==
Bees greatly increase plant yield, potency and the probability of you getting lynched. Great stuff, and very useful even if you're no traitor!

[[File:Bee.gif]] [[Beekeeping|For more info, click here for the guide on beepeeking.]] [[File:Bee.gif]]

==Advanced Botany==
This is where you get to PLAY GOD and mess with the stats, reagents and [[#Traits|traits]] of plants. 
===Using the DNA manipulator===
1. Go to the locker in the back and take out the box of plant data disks. 
2. Load a disk into the machine along with any seed of choice. 
3. Extract any gene, this will destroy the seed and save it to the disk. 
4. Put in another seed. 
5. You can now modify the seed's stats and genes based on what's on the plant data disk. 
Obviously, this can be quite powerful in the right hands, and even for more basic tasks it can be a major boon.

It is worth noting, however, that the DNA manipulator has an upper limit on how high a stat can be when you try to extract it and save it to disk, and any stats higher than that will be brought down to that cap. Though these caps can be lowered or eliminated if you can get RnD to upgrade your machine, at round-start the caps are very bad, with certain stats like production speed being capped at a level worse than what nearly every plant has initially. [[#Traits|Traits]], on the other hand, can be extracted just fine no matter what parts are used.

Useful genes from default seeds:
* Wheat has a production speed of 1, the fastest possible.
*Tower-caps have very long lifespans (around 80), as well as potency and endurance stats of 50.
*Tobacco plants have a yield of 10, the cap for that stat.
*Apples have the perennial growth [[#Traits|trait]], which allows for you to get multiple harvests from a single plant.
*Watermelon has an endurance nearly on par with tower-caps, making it a good substitute when starting out so you can avoid using up all of your starting tower-cap seeds.
Some genes are unextractable.
 
===Mutations ===
You can mutate plants to A) change stats or B) mutate them into a different subspecies. To do this in a timely manner, you'll need to work with the [[Chemistry]] department.
*The agonizingly slow way is using '''E-Z Nutriment''' to make the plant mutate once every time it's ready to harvest. '''Left 4 Zed''' makes it mutate twice, but kills the yield!

*You can speed up the process to bearable levels by asking your local [[Chemist]] for a few bottles of '''[[Guide_to_chemistry#Unstable Mutagen|Unstable Mutagen]]'''. 
Pour 5 units on your plant and prepare for...
*10% chance of '''mutation into a related species'''. This destroys the old plant and plants a new one. See the [[Guide_to_hydroponics#Plant reference chart|Plant reference chart]] for information on these mutations.
* 10% chance of the '''plant losing lots of health instantly'''. The plant can die because of this
*15% chance of '''heavy stat mutation''' with a 3% chance of a new [[#Traits|trait]] appearing.
* 15% chance of '''normal stat mutation'''.
*20% chance of '''nothing'''. You get a message when this happens.
*10% chance of '''weeds mutating'''. If weed level is less than 5, nothing happens, otherwise you get a random, special mutated weed (Kudzu, Deathnettle, Destroying Angel, Liberty Cap).
*10% chance of '''pests mutating'''. Again, if pest level is less than 5, nothing happens. Otherwise, spiderlings are spawned.
**This is '''bad'''. If the spiderlings escape, they'll grow big and you'll likely get lynched.
Or, if you don't want to bother with species mutation, pour 2 units for a guaranteed heavy stat mutation with a 3% chance of a new [[#Traits|trait]] appearing, or even 1 for a guaranteed normal stat mutation. This method is safe even if you don't have backup seeds, and you can use a bottle for it.
*You can use '''radium''' and '''uranium''', but they cause ill effects, and if you can get radium, you can get mutagen.

*R&D can also research a wonderful thing called a '''Floral Somatoray'''. It has two options: increase yield and mutate the plant. In yield more mode, every time you fire it at the plant, there is a chance the yield will increase. The chance becomes very small when you reach high levels, but it's very useful for low-yield plants. It can even raise yield from zero! In mutation mode, it will always induce a normal stat mutation.
===Fixing awful stats===
Mutating plants has a chance of really ruining stats. Luckily, there are a few ways to fix them:
*Unstable Mutagen. Using 1u slightly changes stats, 2u has more drastic effects.
* Saltpetre. Increases potency and decreases production time.
*Ammonia. Increases yield.
*Floral Somatoray. Increases yield and works as a substitute for Unstable Mutagen.
===Dude weeds===
Trays, whether empty or occupied by plants, can be occasionally overtaken by a weed if their level is 5 or more. In that case the old plant is destroyed, and a new one will sprout in its place.

Possible plants include:
*1/6 chance for Reishi/Starshittle.
*1/9 chance for Nettle/Harebell/Amanita/Chanterelle/Tower Cap/Plump Helmets
Using 5u of unstable mutagen on high weed level trays results in different plants:
*Kudzu, Deathnettle, Destroying Angel, Liberty Cap
==Other Notes==

===[[file:Bottle.png]] Growing your own mutagen===
Not robust enough to steal a chem dispenser? Try this out.
*First, plant pumpkins and mutate them into blumpkins.
*Now, insert their Chlorine production [[#Traits|trait]] into glowshrooms and remove the Nutriment one.
* That's it! You now have a plant that grows unstable mutagen - just pop the produce into the grinder.
*You might want to add Densified Chemicals from Redbeets as well as Perennial Growth to optimize your harvest.
===[[File:Dispenser.png]] Other ways to mutagen ===
Chemistry is <s>busy curing the plague</s> too high to help you out?
*<s>Bad idea: Steal a chem dispenser. This will start a blood feud and is one of the biggest reasons why Botanists are hated by some. Think of it as someone stealing all your plant trays.</s>
*<s>Better: Ask Medbay to print you a spare chem dispenser board. After very basic research (Biological Technology), the medical protolathe is able to print chem dispenser boards.</s>
*<s>Or: Grab the spare chem dispenser board from tech storage. The AI, silicons and all members of the Engineering department can let you in.</s>
*<s>For stock parts: Print them from a public autolathe (if such has been built) or ask RnD/Engineering for a part replacer with stock parts. The parts are: 2 matter bins, 1 capacitor, 1 micro-manipulator, 1 power cell, 1 glass sheet. </s>
*<s>For stock parts you can also disassemble a hydroponics tray and a cell charger. A cell can then be found or gotten from disassembling a cyborg recharger.</s>
*Just use your Minor Botanical Chem Dispenser. It can give you mutagen, saltpetre and water roundstart and with t4 parts you can get plantbgone, weedkiller, pestkiller and diethylamine.
===[[file:Ambrosia_gaia.png]] Upgrading plant trays===
Composting enough plants that contain Earthsblood (20 units from plants like [[#Ambrosia gaia|Ambrosia Gaia]]) into a tray will give it a golden shine. Now it will no longer require water, fertilizer or weed/pest removal.

This is great in combination with plants that have the Perennial Growth [[#Traits|trait]]! A lot of Botanists will upgrade their trays before getting started with actual hydroponics.

Upgraded trays permanently contain the last fertilizer you used before the upgrade. Robust Harvest is usually the best choice.

Instead of keeping the original Gaia plant that most likely has gimped stats - insert the Earthsblood production [[#Traits|trait]] into a more robust plant.

If your DNA extractor hasn't been upgraded yet: Wheat has a production speed of 1 and good overall stats. If you're lucky, your station will have 50 potency Wheat bushels just lying around at roundstart.

You can speed up the process by removing all contents but Earthsblood production and adding the Densified Chemicals (Redbeet) [[#Traits|trait]].
===[[file:Replicapodplant.png]] Replica Pod Cloning ===
Replica pods can be used to grow dead people back to life - even when their brain and head are missing.

To clone someone, follow these simple steps:
* Take a blood sample from the body using a syringe.
*Inject it into the bag of seeds.
*Plant the seeds.
*Let the plant grow and then harvest it.
*If the ghost of the corpse is still online, and did not turn on "Do not Resuscitate", that person will be cloned as a [[Podman]].
*If there was no ghost available, the resulting harvest will simply produce a new pack of seeds.
The [[Podman|podmen]] are a little different from normal humans. E.g. they regenerate in light but suffer in darkness and don't get attacked by bees.

Cabbage can be mutated into Replica Pod.
===Strange Seeds===
Strange seeds (from hacked vendors or cargo crates) have completely random reagents and [[#Traits|traits]].

Notable examples are:
*Gaseous Decomposition
*Nitroglycerin
*Microbes (Fungal Tuberculosis)
*Any drink, like Gin Tonic or Beepsky Smash
*Glitter
*Plasmaman Mutation Toxin
*Hell Water
Of course, this is pretty gimmicky and unreliable.
===[[file:Kudzuplant.png]] Kudzu {{anchor|Kudzu}}===
Kudzu is a weed that can appear when adding 5u [[Guide_to_chemistry#Unstable Mutagen|Unstable Mutagen]] to a tray with a weed level of 5 or above. The tray version of kudzu will grow normally in its tray. When harvested it will produce kudzu pods [[File:Kudzu.png]]. The kudzu pod is like any other fruit/vegetable and can be eaten or grinded. To create wild-spreading kudzu, you must put a kudzu pod into a seed extractor, which will create packs of kudzu seeds [[File:Kudzuseed.png]]. Then activate a kudzu seed in your hand to start planting wild-spreading kudzu on the floor. 
Some plant stats will affect the wild-spreading version of kudzu in specific ways:
*Potency of the seed will make kudzu mutate more on spread, the chance to mutate on each new piece is '''[potency / 10]'''
*Production will affect how fast the kudzu can spread, usual kudzu spreads at a rate of 20% of the amount of pieces per tick but no more than 30, production changes the cap '''[30 * production / 50]''' and the percent of processed pieces per tick '''[20 * (production / 50)]'''
Killing the last piece of kudzu will create a kudzu seed in its place with all the ackumulated mutations saved in the seed. So if you reactivate it, the new kudzu on the floor will have all the same mutations the seed had, and will spread it to all its progenitors. You can examine a wild kudzu to see what mutations it has. When mutating it typically changes color. 
Kudzu can gain mutations only on spread, here is the list of all of them:
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed">
Click expand to see Kudzu [[#Traits|traits]] and mutations:
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
*'''CO2 consumption''' - ''positive'' mutation, consumes CO2 from the air
*<s>'''Space covering''' - ''positive'' mutation, makes vines grow vine floors over space</s> Removed as of August 23 2017.
*'''Light''' - ''positive'' mutation, about 40% of the vines with this mutation emit light slightly more powerful than PDA
*'''Transparency''' - ''positive'' mutation, makes vines look-through
*'''Toxins consumption''' - ''positive'' mutation, absorbs plasma from the air
*<s>'''Bluespace vines''' - ''minor negative'' mutation, makes vines be able to grow through anything</s> Removed as of August 23 2017.
*'''Explosive''' - ''minor negative'' mutation, on death vines with this mutation explode with 0,0,2 power, so clusters of this vine will chain-explode one after another
*'''Fire resistant''' - ''minor negative'' mutation, makes vines ignore fire damage, be it plasma fires or welders
*'''Vine eating''' - ''minor negative'' mutation, vines with this mutation will eat vines without it
*'''Toxicity''' - ''negative'' mutation, eating vine with this mutation or walking thought it will cause you toxin damage
*'''Aggressive spreading''' - ''negative'' mutation, on spreading vines will cause effect of mini-explosion on the tile they spread to, mobs buckled by this vine will also experience effects akin to minor explosion
*'''O2 consumption''' - ''negative'' mutation, absorbs O2 from the air around
*'''N2 consumption''' - ''negative'' mutation, absorbs N2 from the air
*'''Thorns''' - ''negative'' mutation, makes mobs touching or going through vines recieve physical damage
*'''Hardening''' - ''negative'' mutation, makes vines not die fast from sharp objects, but makes non-sharp objects(hands included) be more effective agaisnt them, on the full maturation block the passage
*'''Flowering''' - ''negative'' mutation, makes vines very entangly and spawns harmful flowers occasionally, flowers after destruction spawn flower mob that is agressive and attacks

Adding special chemicals to the tray when the seeds are growing will affect the specific kudzu mutations:
* Adding ''5u'' of '''welding fuel''' will remove random ''positive'' mutation with a ''20%'' probability
*Adding ''5u'' of '''phenol''' will remove a random ''minor negative'' mutation with a ''20%'' probability
* Adding ''5u'' of '''sterilizine''' will remove a random ''negative'' mutation with a ''20%'' probability
*Adding ''15u'' of '''blood''' will change the production value of the seeds by a random number in the range from ''-5 to +15''
*Adding ''5u'' of '''amatoxin''' will change the production value of the seeds by a random number in the range from ''-15 to +5''
*Adding ''5u'' of '''plasma''' will change the potency value of the seeds by a random number in the range from ''-15 to +5''
*Adding ''10u'' of '''holy water''' will change a potency value of the seeds by a random number in the range from ''-5 to +15''

===Sandstone and Soil===
If you pick up the grass and use it (click on it in your hand), you will prepare astroturf. Get a crowbar and remove some floor tiles, then place astroturf in their place. In addition to looking nice, it can be used to get some sand. Just dig it with your spade and you'll get two piles. Now, pick up the sand and use it; you will make a sandstone brick. Using three bricks, you can make a soil plot, which is like a tray, except you can walk over it and there are no lights. You can also build a sandstone door with 10 bricks.

Science can [[Guide_to_advanced_construction#Hydroponics_Tray|build]] hydroponics trays. They can also upgrade them by replacing the matter bins, and this increases the water and nutrient capacity of the tray.
===Wood and Drying Racks===
First you need to get some tower-caps, grow them and harvest them. You can then use hatchet (and some other things, but it's not important) on the logs to chop some planks. They have many uses: you can make chairs, tables, wooden floors and so on. A unique thing here is a drying rack. You can use it to dry a plant, and then smoke it. First, build a rack with 10 planks. Then, grab a plant you want to dry and put it in the rack. Click on the rack and toggle drying so that the red arrows light up. Give it a few seconds and it's done.

Note: you can dry ''any'' plant, and smoking it will give you all chemicals that were in it. You can smoke dried apples if you want, and get nutriment from them.

===[[File:Wooden_barrel.png]] Fermentation Barrel===
You can craft wooden barrels with the crafting menu (under tribal), which requires 30 wood planks [[File:Planks.png]]. Clicking it will toggle it between open and closed. When open you can insert plants or liquid. When closed you can draw liquid by using a container on it. 
Inserting a plant into the barrel will ferment the plant after a few seconds (even if not closing it). This will grind the plant, adding all the plant's contained reagents to the barrel. But it can also add an additional reagent depending on plant used. Most plants will create a special [[Guide_to_food_and_drinks#Wine|wine]] with varied boozepower depending on plant used. Some plants will create other reagents than wine, and some plants will not work at all.
===Things You Can Make Out of Your Plants===
*Add some cable to a potato to make a potato battery. Botany cells have potential to be better than bluespace cells.
*Glowberries and glowshrooms, as the name suggests, glow.
*You can carve a pumpkin with a hatchet. Carved pumpkins can be worn and you can toggle them to emit a weak light.
*You can make a cob-pipe out of a corn cob.
*You can carve a carrot with a hatchet to make a shiv. It's not very strong but it's good at slicing things.
*Flowers and ambrosia can be worn on your head.
* Add dried ambrosia, wheat, tea aspera tips or tobacco leaves to a tower cap log to make a torch.
*Dried ambrosia, tobacco or any mutations of those are able to be smoked from wrapping paper, found in smoking vending machines. You can also grind them and put the liquid in an e-cig.
==Todo list for this guide ==
*Add missing/fix outdated entries in the plant reference chart
*Add some icons and pictures to break up the wall of text
==Another guide==
Since Botany is relatively easy to learn but hard to master, here is an extra guide that focuses on a more practical, step-by-step point of view.
Also includes a lot of extra "recipes" for what you can turn your plants into.

Guide to hydroponics

2023-01-17T18:29:07Z

Wrill: I bungled the capitalization on one of the links, fixed that.

[[File:Hydroponics.png|frame|right|Hydroponics. This is your home.]]
== Basics of Botany ==
[[Hydroponics]] and the [[Botanist]]s who work there are important to the station, especially in longer rounds. Botanists grow plants that the [[Chef]] can use for food. Without botany, the station will have to live off of beef jerky and space twinkies, or starve to death.
=== Your Area ===
Hydroponics is divided into two rooms. The big section is where you'll spend most of your time growing goods. Trays are available where you grow plants and two vending machines, one with seeds and the other with miscellaneous items such as nutrients and tools for your job. The bio-generator can be used to grind plants and produce things for the station. In tandem is the seed dispenser used to reproduce your product. The northern area is where you can grab most of the equipment needed to work in botany.

Plants require nutrients (fertilizer) and water to grow. They are also bothered by pests and weeds. 
Trays come equipped with lights that flash specific colors to tell you what's happening with your plant.

From left to right -
* '''Green''': Ready to harvest.
* '''Red''': Low health, caused by weeds/pests/toxins/end of lifespan.
* '''Orange''': High weed level.
* '''Yellow''': Low nutrients.
* '''Blue''': Low water.
Tools that are of use in botany -
* {{anchor|Plant_Analyzer}}'''Plant Analyzer''': Shows detailed detailed plant statistics. Very useful for growing fragile plants like Ambrosia Deus.
* {{anchor|Cultivator}}'''Cultivator''': Kills Weeds.
* '''Plant Bag''': Collects up to 50 items or 100 seeds from your harvest. Useful for moving those into the fridge or biogenerator.
* '''Wrench''': Used to move your trays around.
* '''Wirecutters''': Used to set up the irrigation system. If 30u or more of water is put into trays while the irrigation is set up, water will be shared across trays. This will also distribute things like mutagen and plant killer.
* {{anchor|Hatchet}}'''Hatchet''': Chops tower-caps into planks, chops other things. This is also a robust tool that fits in pockets.
* {{anchor|Shovel}}'''Shovel''': Digs up grass floors and cleans dirt.
* {{anchor|Spade}}'''Spade''': Removes and destroys plants in a tray.
* '''All-In-One Grinder''': This is how you extract reagents from plants - throw them in and hit the "grind" button.
* '''Portable Seed Extractor''': This can harvest and pick up plants and turn up to 100 plants into seeds. Less efficient than the machine.
=== [[File:Seed_Extractor.gif|Seed Extractor]] Plant growing 101 ===
Take some seeds from the vendor and put them into the trays. Now, take a look at the tray with a plant analyzer. For now, you only need to pay attention to the bottom five stats - '''Water/Nutrition''' and '''Weeds/Toxic/Pest''' levels. 
Now, fill a bucket from the water tank and grab fertilizer from the vending machine. You get rid of weeds with the cultivator and remove pests with pest spray. [[Chemistry]] can give you better chemicals for this, which will be explained later in the guide. 
Some plants have a varied growth times, such as wheat growing faster while watermelons or apple trees take a little longer before you can harvest from them. 
Once your tray flashes green, you're set to harvest. If you want to replicate the plant to continue growing more, just insert it into the seed extractor. 
You can click seeds with a pen to change the name of the plant, the seed's description, or the plant's description. After planting in a hydroponics tray the tray updates with the name and description of the plant inside it.
=== [[File:Biogenerator.gif|Bio-generator]] Biogenerator ===
The Biogenerator makes items out of the nutriment in plants. As a rule of thumb: More nutriment = more biomass. Watermelons and pumpkins are commonly used due to their 20% nutriment boost [[#Traits|trait]]. 
To get biomass, grab a spare bucket and equip the machine with it, then use the plant bag to put fruits inside. 
If you somehow run out of fertilizer in the vendors, remember you can print the three standard fertilizers here. Keep in mind that you can craft a whole bunch of useful items from the leather/cloth sheets the biogenerator creates.
=== [[File:plant dna manip.gif]]DNA Extractor ===
The DNA extractor allows you to extract and modify seed stats and [[#Traits|traits]]. This machine is what lets you become a [[Chemist]] on speed.

This is a little complex, so look at: [[Guide_to_hydroponics#Advanced_Botany|Advanced Botany]]
== Stats, reagents and traits ==
Three things determine how your plant will turn out: Their '''stats''', '''reagents''' and '''[[#Traits|traits]]'''.
=== Stats ===
Stats determine whether your plants are small and grow slowly, or are big and fast-growing.
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed">
Click expand to see what stats do:
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
* '''Potency''': The most important stat (0 to 100). This affects the amount of chemicals in the plant, though some have additional effects, such as stun length for bananas. 
To get the amount of a given chemical in a plant, multiply the reagent in the chart by the potency: for example, 10% nutriment will be 5 nutriment at 50 potency.
* '''Yield''': How much product you get each harvest. Between 0 and 10. Pay attention to this, because if it drops to 0, you won't harvest anything.
* '''Production Speed''': How fast your plant reaches harvest. Between 1 and 10 -- the '''lower''' the faster. The plant has to wait (Production Speed) age cycles before each harvest.
* '''Maturation Speed''': Age cycles before the plant can start production. The first harvest will be (Maturation Speed + Production Speed).
* '''Lifespan''': When the age is above lifespan, the plant starts losing health. Between 10 and 100. Only important for plants with the Perennial Growth [[#Traits|trait]].
* '''Age''': Age of the plant. Only relevant in terms of the lifespan stat.
* '''Endurance''': Max health. Between 10 and 100. Not very useful, unless you leave your garden often.
* '''Weed growth rate''': Determines how quickly weeds grow in the plant tray. Only relevant with very high values.
* '''Weed vulnerability''': The higher, the more easily a plant is overtaken by weeds. Only relevant with very high values.
</div>
</div>
=== Reagents/Content ===
This determines what chemicals are present in a grown plant - the [[Guide_to_hydroponics#Advanced_Botany|DNA extractor]] lets you extract and splice these. 
With a bit of creativity, you can mix your own mutagen, produce unique healing chemicals or turn tomatoes into napalm grenades. Solid [[Guide_to_chemistry|Chemistry]] knowledge will help you out immensely. 
For a detailed list, check out: [[Guide_to_hydroponics#Plant reference chart|Plant reference chart]]
=== Traits ===
Traits give your plants unique properties. There are plenty - Perennial Growth for example lets you harvest plants multiple times. 
These can be transferred, just like reagents.

|-
!{{anchor|Bluespace Activity}}Bluespace Activity
|Gives the plant bluespace properties, making it teleport people hit if the plant has Liquid Contents, and on slip if it has Slippery Skin. Max radius is determined by potency.
|-
!{{anchor|Capacitive Cell Production}}Capacitive Cell Production
|Plants with this trait can be made into batteries with the addition of wire. Electrical Activity increases the cell's maximum charge.
|-
!{{anchor|Carnivory}}Obligate Carnivory
|Makes the plant heal from pests instead of taking damage from them.
|-
!{{anchor|Densified Chemicals}}Densified Chemicals
|Doubles the reagent capacity of the plant. Keep in mind that reagent traits will still add a fixed amount to the plant (this just increases how much can fit in it).
|-
!{{anchor|Electrical Activity}}Electrical Activity
|Gives the plant electrical charge, making it recharge batteries when eaten; it will also electrocute on slip if it also has Slippery Skin and on hit if it has Liquid Contents.
|-
!{{anchor|Fire Resistance}}Fire Resistance
|Makes the seeds and produce fireproof.
|-
!{{anchor|Fungal Vitality}}Fungal Vitality
|The plant acquires mushroom-like properties, removing the need for water and greatly reducing damage from lack of light. Minimum yield is always 1 and the tray can't be overtaken by weeds.
|-
!{{anchor|Gaseous Decomposition}}Gaseous Decomposition
|Plants with this trait emit a smoke cloud when squashed, spewing reagents everywhere. Requires Liquid Contents to be useful. Only available through [[Guide_to_hydroponics#Strange seeds|Strange seeds]] and random mutations.
|-
!{{anchor|Hypodermic Prickles}}Hypodermic Prickles
|Plants with this trait will sting when thrown (or slipped on with Liquid Contents), transferring a portion of their chemicals to the target.
|-
!{{anchor|Invasive Spreading}}Invasive Spreading
|Plants with this trait will invade adjacent trays and destroy other plants growing there. Will not overwrite plants of the same species.
|-
!{{anchor|Liquid Contents}}Liquid Contents
|Causes the plant to squash when thrown or slipped on (Slippery Skin), applying the reagents inside on the target and destroying the plant.
|-
!{{anchor|Perennial Growth}}Perennial Growth
|Plants with this trait don't die on harvest (and can be harvested multiple times).
|-
!{{anchor|Slippery Skin}}Slippery Skin
|Causes the plant, or any products of the plant, to become slippery. The stun time is (Potency * 0.08), divided by 3 unless the plant has lube or is a banana. Maximum stun is 7 seconds. Triggers Hypodermic Prickes and Liquid Contents when combined with them.
|-
!{{anchor|Weed Adaptation}}Weed Adaptation
|The plant acquires weed-like properties, removing the need for nutrients. Plant growth doesn't get slowed by weeds and the tray can't be overtaken by them.

==[[File:Vendnutri.gif]] Chemicals==
A lot of chemicals influence plants - get these from the vending machine, [[Chemistry]] or by growing your own!
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-uncollapsed">
Click expand to see a list of chemicals:
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
===Fertilizers===
*Nutriment: A fertilizer that adds 1 nutrient to the tray and heals the plant 0.5 health per unit added. You can get it by putting your plants and regular food in the grinder.
*[[Ammonia]]: Similar to nutriment, but also increases yield (25u to increase 1 yield). Get it from the [[Chemist]] or hack the Nutri-Vend to get this.
*[[Diethylamine]]: Adds 2 nutrient to the tray, heals the plant 1 health per unit added and increases yield (50u to increase 1 yield). Also kills pests. Get it the same way you get Ammonia.
* Saltpetre: Heals your plant, increases potency and decreases production time. Doesn't add nutrient to the tray.
*Robust Harvest: Adds 1 nutrient to the tray per unit, and permanently increases plant yield of the tray 30% (without mutating the plant). Doesn't work on plants with 0 yield. A tray can only have the modifiers of one of the three special fertilizers at a time (Robust Harvest, E-Z-Nutrient and Left 4 Zed).
===Pest Removal===
* Pest Killer: Kills pests, and adds a small amount of toxicity.
*Weed Killer: Same as above, but for Weeds.
=== Mutation===
*E-Z-Nutrient: Makes your plant mutate once every time it's ready for harvesting, and resets the tray's yield modifier to x1 (if another special fertilizer had previously been used on the tray). A tray can only have the modifiers of one of the three special fertilizers at a time (Robust Harvest, E-Z-Nutrient and Left 4 Zed).
*Left 4 Zed: Makes your plant mutate twice, but the yield will permanently be 1 at best. If the plant's yield is 0, then nothing is produced! You'll have to use another mutagen to harvest the normal yield of the plant. A tray can only have the modifiers of one of the three special fertilizers at a time (Robust Harvest, E-Z-Nutrient and Left 4 Zed).
*[[Unstable Mutagen]]: Used to randomly mutate plants - 5u for a chance to change the plant type, 1u/2u to only change stats.
*Radium and Uranium: Also usable for mutation (10u for plant type, 2u/5u for stats), but damages plants and adds toxicity. Radium is more damaging.
===Plant Meds ===
*[[Ash]]: Adds 0.5 nutrient to the tray, heals the plant 0.25 health per unit added and kills weeds.
*[[Guide_to_chemistry#Multiver|charcoal]]: Makes your plant less toxic. You can get it by whining to anyone who works in [[Medbay]].
*[[Cryoxadone]]: Heals your plant, via <s>miracles</s> science. Also lowers toxicity. Don't expect the [[Chemist]] to give this to you, but the medbay probably has extra beakers of this.
*Holy water: If you can get the [[Chaplain]]'s attention and make him bless your water, it will heal your plant a bit.
===Unorthodox chemicals===
*Soda Water: Mostly adds water, but also heals the plant and adds nutrient to the tray by a tiny amount.
*Milk: Adds some water and a tiny but of nutrient to the tray.
*Beer: Adds a bit of water and nutrient to the tray, but damages the plant a little.
*Blood: Feeds both your plant and pests.
*Virus Food: Adds nutrient to the tray while damaging the plant.
*Nicotine: Kills pests while adding toxicity.
===The bad stuff===
*Sugar: Makes pests and weeds grow stronger. Unless you [[Traitor|plan to use unstable mutagen to unleash giant spiders or Kudzu upon the station]], it's of no use.
* Toxin: Increases toxicity. Good job!
*Plant-B-Gone, Sulphuric Acid, Fluorosulfuric Acid: Damages the plant, adds toxicity and kills weeds. What do you think would happen?
*Fluorine, Chlorine: Same as above, but also drains water.
*Phosphorus: Same as Flourine/Chlorine, but adds nutrients to the tray instead of toxicity. Just use a spade.
* Napalm: Kills weeds, hurts plant and adds toxicity. This is just going downhill. Unless your plant has the fireproof [[#Traits|trait]], you might as well space the whole tray. On fireproof plants it will just kill weeds.
*[[Guide_to_chemistry#Strange_Reagent|Strange Reagent]]: Is supposed to spawn hostile plant creatures but currently doesn't work.

==[[File:Apiary.png|Beekeeping]] [[Beekeeping]]==
Bees greatly increase plant yield, potency and the probability of you getting lynched. Great stuff, and very useful even if you're no traitor!

[[File:Bee.gif]] [[Beekeeping|For more info, click here for the guide on beepeeking.]] [[File:Bee.gif]]

==Advanced Botany==
This is where you get to PLAY GOD and mess with the stats, reagents and [[#Traits|traits]] of plants. 
===Using the DNA manipulator===
1. Go to the locker in the back and take out the box of plant data disks. 
2. Load a disk into the machine along with any seed of choice. 
3. Extract any gene, this will destroy the seed and save it to the disk. 
4. Put in another seed. 
5. You can now modify the seed's stats and genes based on what's on the plant data disk. 
Obviously, this can be quite powerful in the right hands, and even for more basic tasks it can be a major boon.

It is worth noting, however, that the DNA manipulator has an upper limit on how high a stat can be when you try to extract it and save it to disk, and any stats higher than that will be brought down to that cap. Though these caps can be lowered or eliminated if you can get RnD to upgrade your machine, at round-start the caps are very bad, with certain stats like production speed being capped at a level worse than what nearly every plant has initially. [[#Traits|Traits]], on the other hand, can be extracted just fine no matter what parts are used.

Useful genes from default seeds:
* Wheat has a production speed of 1, the fastest possible.
*Tower-caps have very long lifespans (around 80), as well as potency and endurance stats of 50.
*Tobacco plants have a yield of 10, the cap for that stat.
*Apples have the perennial growth [[#Traits|trait]], which allows for you to get multiple harvests from a single plant.
*Watermelon has an endurance nearly on par with tower-caps, making it a good substitute when starting out so you can avoid using up all of your starting tower-cap seeds.
Some genes are unextractable.
 
===Mutations ===
You can mutate plants to A) change stats or B) mutate them into a different subspecies. To do this in a timely manner, you'll need to work with the [[Chemistry]] department.
*The agonizingly slow way is using '''E-Z Nutriment''' to make the plant mutate once every time it's ready to harvest. '''Left 4 Zed''' makes it mutate twice, but kills the yield!

*You can speed up the process to bearable levels by asking your local [[Chemist]] for a few bottles of '''[[Guide_to_chemistry#Unstable Mutagen|Unstable Mutagen]]'''. 
Pour 5 units on your plant and prepare for...
*10% chance of '''mutation into a related species'''. This destroys the old plant and plants a new one. See the [[Guide_to_hydroponics#Plant reference chart|Plant reference chart]] for information on these mutations.
* 10% chance of the '''plant losing lots of health instantly'''. The plant can die because of this
*15% chance of '''heavy stat mutation''' with a 3% chance of a new [[#Traits|trait]] appearing.
* 15% chance of '''normal stat mutation'''.
*20% chance of '''nothing'''. You get a message when this happens.
*10% chance of '''weeds mutating'''. If weed level is less than 5, nothing happens, otherwise you get a random, special mutated weed (Kudzu, Deathnettle, Destroying Angel, Liberty Cap).
*10% chance of '''pests mutating'''. Again, if pest level is less than 5, nothing happens. Otherwise, spiderlings are spawned.
**This is '''bad'''. If the spiderlings escape, they'll grow big and you'll likely get lynched.
Or, if you don't want to bother with species mutation, pour 2 units for a guaranteed heavy stat mutation with a 3% chance of a new [[#Traits|trait]] appearing, or even 1 for a guaranteed normal stat mutation. This method is safe even if you don't have backup seeds, and you can use a bottle for it.
*You can use '''radium''' and '''uranium''', but they cause ill effects, and if you can get radium, you can get mutagen.

*R&D can also research a wonderful thing called a '''Floral Somatoray'''. It has two options: increase yield and mutate the plant. In yield more mode, every time you fire it at the plant, there is a chance the yield will increase. The chance becomes very small when you reach high levels, but it's very useful for low-yield plants. It can even raise yield from zero! In mutation mode, it will always induce a normal stat mutation.
===Fixing awful stats===
Mutating plants has a chance of really ruining stats. Luckily, there are a few ways to fix them:
*Unstable Mutagen. Using 1u slightly changes stats, 2u has more drastic effects.
* Saltpetre. Increases potency and decreases production time.
*Ammonia. Increases yield.
*Floral Somatoray. Increases yield and works as a substitute for Unstable Mutagen.
===Dude weeds===
Trays, whether empty or occupied by plants, can be occasionally overtaken by a weed if their level is 5 or more. In that case the old plant is destroyed, and a new one will sprout in its place.

Possible plants include:
*1/6 chance for Reishi/Starshittle.
*1/9 chance for Nettle/Harebell/Amanita/Chanterelle/Tower Cap/Plump Helmets
Using 5u of unstable mutagen on high weed level trays results in different plants:
*Kudzu, Deathnettle, Destroying Angel, Liberty Cap
==Other Notes==

===[[file:Bottle.png]] Growing your own mutagen===
Not robust enough to steal a chem dispenser? Try this out.
*First, plant pumpkins and mutate them into blumpkins.
*Now, insert their Chlorine production [[#Traits|trait]] into glowshrooms and remove the Nutriment one.
* That's it! You now have a plant that grows unstable mutagen - just pop the produce into the grinder.
*You might want to add Densified Chemicals from Redbeets as well as Perennial Growth to optimize your harvest.
===[[File:Dispenser.png]] Other ways to mutagen ===
Chemistry is <s>busy curing the plague</s> too high to help you out?
*<s>Bad idea: Steal a chem dispenser. This will start a blood feud and is one of the biggest reasons why Botanists are hated by some. Think of it as someone stealing all your plant trays.</s>
*<s>Better: Ask Medbay to print you a spare chem dispenser board. After very basic research (Biological Technology), the medical protolathe is able to print chem dispenser boards.</s>
*<s>Or: Grab the spare chem dispenser board from tech storage. The AI, silicons and all members of the Engineering department can let you in.</s>
*<s>For stock parts: Print them from a public autolathe (if such has been built) or ask RnD/Engineering for a part replacer with stock parts. The parts are: 2 matter bins, 1 capacitor, 1 micro-manipulator, 1 power cell, 1 glass sheet. </s>
*<s>For stock parts you can also disassemble a hydroponics tray and a cell charger. A cell can then be found or gotten from disassembling a cyborg recharger.</s>
*Just use your Minor Botanical Chem Dispenser. It can give you mutagen, saltpetre and water roundstart and with t4 parts you can get plantbgone, weedkiller, pestkiller and diethylamine.
===[[file:Ambrosia_gaia.png]] Upgrading plant trays===
Composting enough plants that contain Earthsblood (20 units from plants like [[#Ambrosia gaia|Ambrosia Gaia]]) into a tray will give it a golden shine. Now it will no longer require water, fertilizer or weed/pest removal.

This is great in combination with plants that have the Perennial Growth [[#Traits|trait]]! A lot of Botanists will upgrade their trays before getting started with actual hydroponics.

Upgraded trays permanently contain the last fertilizer you used before the upgrade. Robust Harvest is usually the best choice.

Instead of keeping the original Gaia plant that most likely has gimped stats - insert the Earthsblood production [[#Traits|trait]] into a more robust plant.

If your DNA extractor hasn't been upgraded yet: Wheat has a production speed of 1 and good overall stats. If you're lucky, your station will have 50 potency Wheat bushels just lying around at roundstart.

You can speed up the process by removing all contents but Earthsblood production and adding the Densified Chemicals (Redbeet) [[#Traits|trait]].
===[[file:Replicapodplant.png]] Replica Pod Cloning ===
Replica pods can be used to grow dead people back to life - even when their brain and head are missing.

To clone someone, follow these simple steps:
* Take a blood sample from the body using a syringe.
*Inject it into the bag of seeds.
*Plant the seeds.
*Let the plant grow and then harvest it.
*If the ghost of the corpse is still online, and did not turn on "Do not Resuscitate", that person will be cloned as a [[Podman]].
*If there was no ghost available, the resulting harvest will simply produce a new pack of seeds.
The [[Podman|podmen]] are a little different from normal humans. E.g. they regenerate in light but suffer in darkness and don't get attacked by bees.

Cabbage can be mutated into Replica Pod.
===Strange Seeds===
Strange seeds (from hacked vendors or cargo crates) have completely random reagents and [[#Traits|traits]].

Notable examples are:
*Gaseous Decomposition
*Nitroglycerin
*Microbes (Fungal Tuberculosis)
*Any drink, like Gin Tonic or Beepsky Smash
*Glitter
*Plasmaman Mutation Toxin
*Hell Water
Of course, this is pretty gimmicky and unreliable.
===[[file:Kudzuplant.png]] Kudzu {{anchor|Kudzu}}===
Kudzu is a weed that can appear when adding 5u [[Guide_to_chemistry#Unstable Mutagen|Unstable Mutagen]] to a tray with a weed level of 5 or above. The tray version of kudzu will grow normally in its tray. When harvested it will produce kudzu pods [[File:Kudzu.png]]. The kudzu pod is like any other fruit/vegetable and can be eaten or grinded. To create wild-spreading kudzu, you must put a kudzu pod into a seed extractor, which will create packs of kudzu seeds [[File:Kudzuseed.png]]. Then activate a kudzu seed in your hand to start planting wild-spreading kudzu on the floor. 
Some plant stats will affect the wild-spreading version of kudzu in specific ways:
*Potency of the seed will make kudzu mutate more on spread, the chance to mutate on each new piece is '''[potency / 10]'''
*Production will affect how fast the kudzu can spread, usual kudzu spreads at a rate of 20% of the amount of pieces per tick but no more than 30, production changes the cap '''[30 * production / 50]''' and the percent of processed pieces per tick '''[20 * (production / 50)]'''
Killing the last piece of kudzu will create a kudzu seed in its place with all the ackumulated mutations saved in the seed. So if you reactivate it, the new kudzu on the floor will have all the same mutations the seed had, and will spread it to all its progenitors. You can examine a wild kudzu to see what mutations it has. When mutating it typically changes color. 
Kudzu can gain mutations only on spread, here is the list of all of them:
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed">
Click expand to see Kudzu [[#Traits|traits]] and mutations:
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
*'''CO2 consumption''' - ''positive'' mutation, consumes CO2 from the air
*<s>'''Space covering''' - ''positive'' mutation, makes vines grow vine floors over space</s> Removed as of August 23 2017.
*'''Light''' - ''positive'' mutation, about 40% of the vines with this mutation emit light slightly more powerful than PDA
*'''Transparency''' - ''positive'' mutation, makes vines look-through
*'''Toxins consumption''' - ''positive'' mutation, absorbs plasma from the air
*<s>'''Bluespace vines''' - ''minor negative'' mutation, makes vines be able to grow through anything</s> Removed as of August 23 2017.
*'''Explosive''' - ''minor negative'' mutation, on death vines with this mutation explode with 0,0,2 power, so clusters of this vine will chain-explode one after another
*'''Fire resistant''' - ''minor negative'' mutation, makes vines ignore fire damage, be it plasma fires or welders
*'''Vine eating''' - ''minor negative'' mutation, vines with this mutation will eat vines without it
*'''Toxicity''' - ''negative'' mutation, eating vine with this mutation or walking thought it will cause you toxin damage
*'''Aggressive spreading''' - ''negative'' mutation, on spreading vines will cause effect of mini-explosion on the tile they spread to, mobs buckled by this vine will also experience effects akin to minor explosion
*'''O2 consumption''' - ''negative'' mutation, absorbs O2 from the air around
*'''N2 consumption''' - ''negative'' mutation, absorbs N2 from the air
*'''Thorns''' - ''negative'' mutation, makes mobs touching or going through vines recieve physical damage
*'''Hardening''' - ''negative'' mutation, makes vines not die fast from sharp objects, but makes non-sharp objects(hands included) be more effective agaisnt them, on the full maturation block the passage
*'''Flowering''' - ''negative'' mutation, makes vines very entangly and spawns harmful flowers occasionally, flowers after destruction spawn flower mob that is agressive and attacks

Adding special chemicals to the tray when the seeds are growing will affect the specific kudzu mutations:
* Adding ''5u'' of '''welding fuel''' will remove random ''positive'' mutation with a ''20%'' probability
*Adding ''5u'' of '''phenol''' will remove a random ''minor negative'' mutation with a ''20%'' probability
* Adding ''5u'' of '''sterilizine''' will remove a random ''negative'' mutation with a ''20%'' probability
*Adding ''15u'' of '''blood''' will change the production value of the seeds by a random number in the range from ''-5 to +15''
*Adding ''5u'' of '''amatoxin''' will change the production value of the seeds by a random number in the range from ''-15 to +5''
*Adding ''5u'' of '''plasma''' will change the potency value of the seeds by a random number in the range from ''-15 to +5''
*Adding ''10u'' of '''holy water''' will change a potency value of the seeds by a random number in the range from ''-5 to +15''

===Sandstone and Soil===
If you pick up the grass and use it (click on it in your hand), you will prepare astroturf. Get a crowbar and remove some floor tiles, then place astroturf in their place. In addition to looking nice, it can be used to get some sand. Just dig it with your spade and you'll get two piles. Now, pick up the sand and use it; you will make a sandstone brick. Using three bricks, you can make a soil plot, which is like a tray, except you can walk over it and there are no lights. You can also build a sandstone door with 10 bricks.

Science can [[Guide_to_advanced_construction#Hydroponics_Tray|build]] hydroponics trays. They can also upgrade them by replacing the matter bins, and this increases the water and nutrient capacity of the tray.
===Wood and Drying Racks===
First you need to get some tower-caps, grow them and harvest them. You can then use hatchet (and some other things, but it's not important) on the logs to chop some planks. They have many uses: you can make chairs, tables, wooden floors and so on. A unique thing here is a drying rack. You can use it to dry a plant, and then smoke it. First, build a rack with 10 planks. Then, grab a plant you want to dry and put it in the rack. Click on the rack and toggle drying so that the red arrows light up. Give it a few seconds and it's done.

Note: you can dry ''any'' plant, and smoking it will give you all chemicals that were in it. You can smoke dried apples if you want, and get nutriment from them.

===[[File:Wooden_barrel.png]] Fermentation Barrel===
You can craft wooden barrels with the crafting menu (under tribal), which requires 30 wood planks [[File:Planks.png]]. Clicking it will toggle it between open and closed. When open you can insert plants or liquid. When closed you can draw liquid by using a container on it. 
Inserting a plant into the barrel will ferment the plant after a few seconds (even if not closing it). This will grind the plant, adding all the plant's contained reagents to the barrel. But it can also add an additional reagent depending on plant used. Most plants will create a special [[Guide_to_food_and_drinks#Wine|wine]] with varied boozepower depending on plant used. Some plants will create other reagents than wine, and some plants will not work at all.
===Things You Can Make Out of Your Plants===
*Add some cable to a potato to make a potato battery. Botany cells have potential to be better than bluespace cells.
*Glowberries and glowshrooms, as the name suggests, glow.
*You can carve a pumpkin with a hatchet. Carved pumpkins can be worn and you can toggle them to emit a weak light.
*You can make a cob-pipe out of a corn cob.
*You can carve a carrot with a hatchet to make a shiv. It's not very strong but it's good at slicing things.
*Flowers and ambrosia can be worn on your head.
* Add dried ambrosia, wheat, tea aspera tips or tobacco leaves to a tower cap log to make a torch.
*Dried ambrosia, tobacco or any mutations of those are able to be smoked from wrapping paper, found in smoking vending machines. You can also grind them and put the liquid in an e-cig.
==Todo list for this guide ==
*Add missing/fix outdated entries in the plant reference chart
*Add some icons and pictures to break up the wall of text
==Another guide==
Since Botany is relatively easy to learn but hard to master, here is an extra guide that focuses on a more practical, step-by-step point of view.
Also includes a lot of extra "recipes" for what you can turn your plants into.

Guide to hydroponics

2023-01-17T18:28:05Z

Wrill: The entry for bioluminescence was simply put, completely wrong. Fixed that and added clickable links to the plants that have each color.

[[File:Hydroponics.png|frame|right|Hydroponics. This is your home.]]
== Basics of Botany ==
[[Hydroponics]] and the [[Botanist]]s who work there are important to the station, especially in longer rounds. Botanists grow plants that the [[Chef]] can use for food. Without botany, the station will have to live off of beef jerky and space twinkies, or starve to death.
=== Your Area ===
Hydroponics is divided into two rooms. The big section is where you'll spend most of your time growing goods. Trays are available where you grow plants and two vending machines, one with seeds and the other with miscellaneous items such as nutrients and tools for your job. The bio-generator can be used to grind plants and produce things for the station. In tandem is the seed dispenser used to reproduce your product. The northern area is where you can grab most of the equipment needed to work in botany.

Plants require nutrients (fertilizer) and water to grow. They are also bothered by pests and weeds. 
Trays come equipped with lights that flash specific colors to tell you what's happening with your plant.

From left to right -
* '''Green''': Ready to harvest.
* '''Red''': Low health, caused by weeds/pests/toxins/end of lifespan.
* '''Orange''': High weed level.
* '''Yellow''': Low nutrients.
* '''Blue''': Low water.
Tools that are of use in botany -
* {{anchor|Plant_Analyzer}}'''Plant Analyzer''': Shows detailed detailed plant statistics. Very useful for growing fragile plants like Ambrosia Deus.
* {{anchor|Cultivator}}'''Cultivator''': Kills Weeds.
* '''Plant Bag''': Collects up to 50 items or 100 seeds from your harvest. Useful for moving those into the fridge or biogenerator.
* '''Wrench''': Used to move your trays around.
* '''Wirecutters''': Used to set up the irrigation system. If 30u or more of water is put into trays while the irrigation is set up, water will be shared across trays. This will also distribute things like mutagen and plant killer.
* {{anchor|Hatchet}}'''Hatchet''': Chops tower-caps into planks, chops other things. This is also a robust tool that fits in pockets.
* {{anchor|Shovel}}'''Shovel''': Digs up grass floors and cleans dirt.
* {{anchor|Spade}}'''Spade''': Removes and destroys plants in a tray.
* '''All-In-One Grinder''': This is how you extract reagents from plants - throw them in and hit the "grind" button.
* '''Portable Seed Extractor''': This can harvest and pick up plants and turn up to 100 plants into seeds. Less efficient than the machine.
=== [[File:Seed_Extractor.gif|Seed Extractor]] Plant growing 101 ===
Take some seeds from the vendor and put them into the trays. Now, take a look at the tray with a plant analyzer. For now, you only need to pay attention to the bottom five stats - '''Water/Nutrition''' and '''Weeds/Toxic/Pest''' levels. 
Now, fill a bucket from the water tank and grab fertilizer from the vending machine. You get rid of weeds with the cultivator and remove pests with pest spray. [[Chemistry]] can give you better chemicals for this, which will be explained later in the guide. 
Some plants have a varied growth times, such as wheat growing faster while watermelons or apple trees take a little longer before you can harvest from them. 
Once your tray flashes green, you're set to harvest. If you want to replicate the plant to continue growing more, just insert it into the seed extractor. 
You can click seeds with a pen to change the name of the plant, the seed's description, or the plant's description. After planting in a hydroponics tray the tray updates with the name and description of the plant inside it.
=== [[File:Biogenerator.gif|Bio-generator]] Biogenerator ===
The Biogenerator makes items out of the nutriment in plants. As a rule of thumb: More nutriment = more biomass. Watermelons and pumpkins are commonly used due to their 20% nutriment boost [[#Traits|trait]]. 
To get biomass, grab a spare bucket and equip the machine with it, then use the plant bag to put fruits inside. 
If you somehow run out of fertilizer in the vendors, remember you can print the three standard fertilizers here. Keep in mind that you can craft a whole bunch of useful items from the leather/cloth sheets the biogenerator creates.
=== [[File:plant dna manip.gif]]DNA Extractor ===
The DNA extractor allows you to extract and modify seed stats and [[#Traits|traits]]. This machine is what lets you become a [[Chemist]] on speed.

This is a little complex, so look at: [[Guide_to_hydroponics#Advanced_Botany|Advanced Botany]]
== Stats, reagents and traits ==
Three things determine how your plant will turn out: Their '''stats''', '''reagents''' and '''[[#Traits|traits]]'''.
=== Stats ===
Stats determine whether your plants are small and grow slowly, or are big and fast-growing.
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed">
Click expand to see what stats do:
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
* '''Potency''': The most important stat (0 to 100). This affects the amount of chemicals in the plant, though some have additional effects, such as stun length for bananas. 
To get the amount of a given chemical in a plant, multiply the reagent in the chart by the potency: for example, 10% nutriment will be 5 nutriment at 50 potency.
* '''Yield''': How much product you get each harvest. Between 0 and 10. Pay attention to this, because if it drops to 0, you won't harvest anything.
* '''Production Speed''': How fast your plant reaches harvest. Between 1 and 10 -- the '''lower''' the faster. The plant has to wait (Production Speed) age cycles before each harvest.
* '''Maturation Speed''': Age cycles before the plant can start production. The first harvest will be (Maturation Speed + Production Speed).
* '''Lifespan''': When the age is above lifespan, the plant starts losing health. Between 10 and 100. Only important for plants with the Perennial Growth [[#Traits|trait]].
* '''Age''': Age of the plant. Only relevant in terms of the lifespan stat.
* '''Endurance''': Max health. Between 10 and 100. Not very useful, unless you leave your garden often.
* '''Weed growth rate''': Determines how quickly weeds grow in the plant tray. Only relevant with very high values.
* '''Weed vulnerability''': The higher, the more easily a plant is overtaken by weeds. Only relevant with very high values.
</div>
</div>
=== Reagents/Content ===
This determines what chemicals are present in a grown plant - the [[Guide_to_hydroponics#Advanced_Botany|DNA extractor]] lets you extract and splice these. 
With a bit of creativity, you can mix your own mutagen, produce unique healing chemicals or turn tomatoes into napalm grenades. Solid [[Guide_to_chemistry|Chemistry]] knowledge will help you out immensely. 
For a detailed list, check out: [[Guide_to_hydroponics#Plant reference chart|Plant reference chart]]
=== Traits ===
Traits give your plants unique properties. There are plenty - Perennial Growth for example lets you harvest plants multiple times. 
These can be transferred, just like reagents.

==[[File:Vendnutri.gif]] Chemicals==
A lot of chemicals influence plants - get these from the vending machine, [[Chemistry]] or by growing your own!
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-uncollapsed">
Click expand to see a list of chemicals:
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
===Fertilizers===
*Nutriment: A fertilizer that adds 1 nutrient to the tray and heals the plant 0.5 health per unit added. You can get it by putting your plants and regular food in the grinder.
*[[Ammonia]]: Similar to nutriment, but also increases yield (25u to increase 1 yield). Get it from the [[Chemist]] or hack the Nutri-Vend to get this.
*[[Diethylamine]]: Adds 2 nutrient to the tray, heals the plant 1 health per unit added and increases yield (50u to increase 1 yield). Also kills pests. Get it the same way you get Ammonia.
* Saltpetre: Heals your plant, increases potency and decreases production time. Doesn't add nutrient to the tray.
*Robust Harvest: Adds 1 nutrient to the tray per unit, and permanently increases plant yield of the tray 30% (without mutating the plant). Doesn't work on plants with 0 yield. A tray can only have the modifiers of one of the three special fertilizers at a time (Robust Harvest, E-Z-Nutrient and Left 4 Zed).
===Pest Removal===
* Pest Killer: Kills pests, and adds a small amount of toxicity.
*Weed Killer: Same as above, but for Weeds.
=== Mutation===
*E-Z-Nutrient: Makes your plant mutate once every time it's ready for harvesting, and resets the tray's yield modifier to x1 (if another special fertilizer had previously been used on the tray). A tray can only have the modifiers of one of the three special fertilizers at a time (Robust Harvest, E-Z-Nutrient and Left 4 Zed).
*Left 4 Zed: Makes your plant mutate twice, but the yield will permanently be 1 at best. If the plant's yield is 0, then nothing is produced! You'll have to use another mutagen to harvest the normal yield of the plant. A tray can only have the modifiers of one of the three special fertilizers at a time (Robust Harvest, E-Z-Nutrient and Left 4 Zed).
*[[Unstable Mutagen]]: Used to randomly mutate plants - 5u for a chance to change the plant type, 1u/2u to only change stats.
*Radium and Uranium: Also usable for mutation (10u for plant type, 2u/5u for stats), but damages plants and adds toxicity. Radium is more damaging.
===Plant Meds ===
*[[Ash]]: Adds 0.5 nutrient to the tray, heals the plant 0.25 health per unit added and kills weeds.
*[[Guide_to_chemistry#Multiver|charcoal]]: Makes your plant less toxic. You can get it by whining to anyone who works in [[Medbay]].
*[[Cryoxadone]]: Heals your plant, via <s>miracles</s> science. Also lowers toxicity. Don't expect the [[Chemist]] to give this to you, but the medbay probably has extra beakers of this.
*Holy water: If you can get the [[Chaplain]]'s attention and make him bless your water, it will heal your plant a bit.
===Unorthodox chemicals===
*Soda Water: Mostly adds water, but also heals the plant and adds nutrient to the tray by a tiny amount.
*Milk: Adds some water and a tiny but of nutrient to the tray.
*Beer: Adds a bit of water and nutrient to the tray, but damages the plant a little.
*Blood: Feeds both your plant and pests.
*Virus Food: Adds nutrient to the tray while damaging the plant.
*Nicotine: Kills pests while adding toxicity.
===The bad stuff===
*Sugar: Makes pests and weeds grow stronger. Unless you [[Traitor|plan to use unstable mutagen to unleash giant spiders or Kudzu upon the station]], it's of no use.
* Toxin: Increases toxicity. Good job!
*Plant-B-Gone, Sulphuric Acid, Fluorosulfuric Acid: Damages the plant, adds toxicity and kills weeds. What do you think would happen?
*Fluorine, Chlorine: Same as above, but also drains water.
*Phosphorus: Same as Flourine/Chlorine, but adds nutrients to the tray instead of toxicity. Just use a spade.
* Napalm: Kills weeds, hurts plant and adds toxicity. This is just going downhill. Unless your plant has the fireproof [[#Traits|trait]], you might as well space the whole tray. On fireproof plants it will just kill weeds.
*[[Guide_to_chemistry#Strange_Reagent|Strange Reagent]]: Is supposed to spawn hostile plant creatures but currently doesn't work.
</div>
</div>
==[[File:Apiary.png|Beekeeping]] [[Beekeeping]]==
Bees greatly increase plant yield, potency and the probability of you getting lynched. Great stuff, and very useful even if you're no traitor!

[[File:Bee.gif]] [[Beekeeping|For more info, click here for the guide on beepeeking.]] [[File:Bee.gif]]

==Advanced Botany==
This is where you get to PLAY GOD and mess with the stats, reagents and [[#Traits|traits]] of plants. 
===Using the DNA manipulator===
1. Go to the locker in the back and take out the box of plant data disks. 
2. Load a disk into the machine along with any seed of choice. 
3. Extract any gene, this will destroy the seed and save it to the disk. 
4. Put in another seed. 
5. You can now modify the seed's stats and genes based on what's on the plant data disk. 
Obviously, this can be quite powerful in the right hands, and even for more basic tasks it can be a major boon.

It is worth noting, however, that the DNA manipulator has an upper limit on how high a stat can be when you try to extract it and save it to disk, and any stats higher than that will be brought down to that cap. Though these caps can be lowered or eliminated if you can get RnD to upgrade your machine, at round-start the caps are very bad, with certain stats like production speed being capped at a level worse than what nearly every plant has initially. [[#Traits|Traits]], on the other hand, can be extracted just fine no matter what parts are used.

Useful genes from default seeds:
* Wheat has a production speed of 1, the fastest possible.
*Tower-caps have very long lifespans (around 80), as well as potency and endurance stats of 50.
*Tobacco plants have a yield of 10, the cap for that stat.
*Apples have the perennial growth [[#Traits|trait]], which allows for you to get multiple harvests from a single plant.
*Watermelon has an endurance nearly on par with tower-caps, making it a good substitute when starting out so you can avoid using up all of your starting tower-cap seeds.
Some genes are unextractable.
 
===Mutations ===
You can mutate plants to A) change stats or B) mutate them into a different subspecies. To do this in a timely manner, you'll need to work with the [[Chemistry]] department.
*The agonizingly slow way is using '''E-Z Nutriment''' to make the plant mutate once every time it's ready to harvest. '''Left 4 Zed''' makes it mutate twice, but kills the yield!

*You can speed up the process to bearable levels by asking your local [[Chemist]] for a few bottles of '''[[Guide_to_chemistry#Unstable Mutagen|Unstable Mutagen]]'''. 
Pour 5 units on your plant and prepare for...
*10% chance of '''mutation into a related species'''. This destroys the old plant and plants a new one. See the [[Guide_to_hydroponics#Plant reference chart|Plant reference chart]] for information on these mutations.
* 10% chance of the '''plant losing lots of health instantly'''. The plant can die because of this
*15% chance of '''heavy stat mutation''' with a 3% chance of a new [[#Traits|trait]] appearing.
* 15% chance of '''normal stat mutation'''.
*20% chance of '''nothing'''. You get a message when this happens.
*10% chance of '''weeds mutating'''. If weed level is less than 5, nothing happens, otherwise you get a random, special mutated weed (Kudzu, Deathnettle, Destroying Angel, Liberty Cap).
*10% chance of '''pests mutating'''. Again, if pest level is less than 5, nothing happens. Otherwise, spiderlings are spawned.
**This is '''bad'''. If the spiderlings escape, they'll grow big and you'll likely get lynched.
Or, if you don't want to bother with species mutation, pour 2 units for a guaranteed heavy stat mutation with a 3% chance of a new [[#Traits|trait]] appearing, or even 1 for a guaranteed normal stat mutation. This method is safe even if you don't have backup seeds, and you can use a bottle for it.
*You can use '''radium''' and '''uranium''', but they cause ill effects, and if you can get radium, you can get mutagen.

*R&D can also research a wonderful thing called a '''Floral Somatoray'''. It has two options: increase yield and mutate the plant. In yield more mode, every time you fire it at the plant, there is a chance the yield will increase. The chance becomes very small when you reach high levels, but it's very useful for low-yield plants. It can even raise yield from zero! In mutation mode, it will always induce a normal stat mutation.
===Fixing awful stats===
Mutating plants has a chance of really ruining stats. Luckily, there are a few ways to fix them:
*Unstable Mutagen. Using 1u slightly changes stats, 2u has more drastic effects.
* Saltpetre. Increases potency and decreases production time.
*Ammonia. Increases yield.
*Floral Somatoray. Increases yield and works as a substitute for Unstable Mutagen.
===Dude weeds===
Trays, whether empty or occupied by plants, can be occasionally overtaken by a weed if their level is 5 or more. In that case the old plant is destroyed, and a new one will sprout in its place.

Possible plants include:
*1/6 chance for Reishi/Starshittle.
*1/9 chance for Nettle/Harebell/Amanita/Chanterelle/Tower Cap/Plump Helmets
Using 5u of unstable mutagen on high weed level trays results in different plants:
*Kudzu, Deathnettle, Destroying Angel, Liberty Cap
==Other Notes==

===[[file:Bottle.png]] Growing your own mutagen===
Not robust enough to steal a chem dispenser? Try this out.
*First, plant pumpkins and mutate them into blumpkins.
*Now, insert their Chlorine production [[#Traits|trait]] into glowshrooms and remove the Nutriment one.
* That's it! You now have a plant that grows unstable mutagen - just pop the produce into the grinder.
*You might want to add Densified Chemicals from Redbeets as well as Perennial Growth to optimize your harvest.
===[[File:Dispenser.png]] Other ways to mutagen ===
Chemistry is <s>busy curing the plague</s> too high to help you out?
*<s>Bad idea: Steal a chem dispenser. This will start a blood feud and is one of the biggest reasons why Botanists are hated by some. Think of it as someone stealing all your plant trays.</s>
*<s>Better: Ask Medbay to print you a spare chem dispenser board. After very basic research (Biological Technology), the medical protolathe is able to print chem dispenser boards.</s>
*<s>Or: Grab the spare chem dispenser board from tech storage. The AI, silicons and all members of the Engineering department can let you in.</s>
*<s>For stock parts: Print them from a public autolathe (if such has been built) or ask RnD/Engineering for a part replacer with stock parts. The parts are: 2 matter bins, 1 capacitor, 1 micro-manipulator, 1 power cell, 1 glass sheet. </s>
*<s>For stock parts you can also disassemble a hydroponics tray and a cell charger. A cell can then be found or gotten from disassembling a cyborg recharger.</s>
*Just use your Minor Botanical Chem Dispenser. It can give you mutagen, saltpetre and water roundstart and with t4 parts you can get plantbgone, weedkiller, pestkiller and diethylamine.
===[[file:Ambrosia_gaia.png]] Upgrading plant trays===
Composting enough plants that contain Earthsblood (20 units from plants like [[#Ambrosia gaia|Ambrosia Gaia]]) into a tray will give it a golden shine. Now it will no longer require water, fertilizer or weed/pest removal.

This is great in combination with plants that have the Perennial Growth [[#Traits|trait]]! A lot of Botanists will upgrade their trays before getting started with actual hydroponics.

Upgraded trays permanently contain the last fertilizer you used before the upgrade. Robust Harvest is usually the best choice.

Instead of keeping the original Gaia plant that most likely has gimped stats - insert the Earthsblood production [[#Traits|trait]] into a more robust plant.

If your DNA extractor hasn't been upgraded yet: Wheat has a production speed of 1 and good overall stats. If you're lucky, your station will have 50 potency Wheat bushels just lying around at roundstart.

You can speed up the process by removing all contents but Earthsblood production and adding the Densified Chemicals (Redbeet) [[#Traits|trait]].
===[[file:Replicapodplant.png]] Replica Pod Cloning ===
Replica pods can be used to grow dead people back to life - even when their brain and head are missing.

To clone someone, follow these simple steps:
* Take a blood sample from the body using a syringe.
*Inject it into the bag of seeds.
*Plant the seeds.
*Let the plant grow and then harvest it.
*If the ghost of the corpse is still online, and did not turn on "Do not Resuscitate", that person will be cloned as a [[Podman]].
*If there was no ghost available, the resulting harvest will simply produce a new pack of seeds.
The [[Podman|podmen]] are a little different from normal humans. E.g. they regenerate in light but suffer in darkness and don't get attacked by bees.

Cabbage can be mutated into Replica Pod.
===Strange Seeds===
Strange seeds (from hacked vendors or cargo crates) have completely random reagents and [[#Traits|traits]].

Notable examples are:
*Gaseous Decomposition
*Nitroglycerin
*Microbes (Fungal Tuberculosis)
*Any drink, like Gin Tonic or Beepsky Smash
*Glitter
*Plasmaman Mutation Toxin
*Hell Water
Of course, this is pretty gimmicky and unreliable.
===[[file:Kudzuplant.png]] Kudzu {{anchor|Kudzu}}===
Kudzu is a weed that can appear when adding 5u [[Guide_to_chemistry#Unstable Mutagen|Unstable Mutagen]] to a tray with a weed level of 5 or above. The tray version of kudzu will grow normally in its tray. When harvested it will produce kudzu pods [[File:Kudzu.png]]. The kudzu pod is like any other fruit/vegetable and can be eaten or grinded. To create wild-spreading kudzu, you must put a kudzu pod into a seed extractor, which will create packs of kudzu seeds [[File:Kudzuseed.png]]. Then activate a kudzu seed in your hand to start planting wild-spreading kudzu on the floor. 
Some plant stats will affect the wild-spreading version of kudzu in specific ways:
*Potency of the seed will make kudzu mutate more on spread, the chance to mutate on each new piece is '''[potency / 10]'''
*Production will affect how fast the kudzu can spread, usual kudzu spreads at a rate of 20% of the amount of pieces per tick but no more than 30, production changes the cap '''[30 * production / 50]''' and the percent of processed pieces per tick '''[20 * (production / 50)]'''
Killing the last piece of kudzu will create a kudzu seed in its place with all the ackumulated mutations saved in the seed. So if you reactivate it, the new kudzu on the floor will have all the same mutations the seed had, and will spread it to all its progenitors. You can examine a wild kudzu to see what mutations it has. When mutating it typically changes color. 
Kudzu can gain mutations only on spread, here is the list of all of them:
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed">
Click expand to see Kudzu [[#Traits|traits]] and mutations:
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
*'''CO2 consumption''' - ''positive'' mutation, consumes CO2 from the air
*<s>'''Space covering''' - ''positive'' mutation, makes vines grow vine floors over space</s> Removed as of August 23 2017.
*'''Light''' - ''positive'' mutation, about 40% of the vines with this mutation emit light slightly more powerful than PDA
*'''Transparency''' - ''positive'' mutation, makes vines look-through
*'''Toxins consumption''' - ''positive'' mutation, absorbs plasma from the air
*<s>'''Bluespace vines''' - ''minor negative'' mutation, makes vines be able to grow through anything</s> Removed as of August 23 2017.
*'''Explosive''' - ''minor negative'' mutation, on death vines with this mutation explode with 0,0,2 power, so clusters of this vine will chain-explode one after another
*'''Fire resistant''' - ''minor negative'' mutation, makes vines ignore fire damage, be it plasma fires or welders
*'''Vine eating''' - ''minor negative'' mutation, vines with this mutation will eat vines without it
*'''Toxicity''' - ''negative'' mutation, eating vine with this mutation or walking thought it will cause you toxin damage
*'''Aggressive spreading''' - ''negative'' mutation, on spreading vines will cause effect of mini-explosion on the tile they spread to, mobs buckled by this vine will also experience effects akin to minor explosion
*'''O2 consumption''' - ''negative'' mutation, absorbs O2 from the air around
*'''N2 consumption''' - ''negative'' mutation, absorbs N2 from the air
*'''Thorns''' - ''negative'' mutation, makes mobs touching or going through vines recieve physical damage
*'''Hardening''' - ''negative'' mutation, makes vines not die fast from sharp objects, but makes non-sharp objects(hands included) be more effective agaisnt them, on the full maturation block the passage
*'''Flowering''' - ''negative'' mutation, makes vines very entangly and spawns harmful flowers occasionally, flowers after destruction spawn flower mob that is agressive and attacks

Adding special chemicals to the tray when the seeds are growing will affect the specific kudzu mutations:
* Adding ''5u'' of '''welding fuel''' will remove random ''positive'' mutation with a ''20%'' probability
*Adding ''5u'' of '''phenol''' will remove a random ''minor negative'' mutation with a ''20%'' probability
* Adding ''5u'' of '''sterilizine''' will remove a random ''negative'' mutation with a ''20%'' probability
*Adding ''15u'' of '''blood''' will change the production value of the seeds by a random number in the range from ''-5 to +15''
*Adding ''5u'' of '''amatoxin''' will change the production value of the seeds by a random number in the range from ''-15 to +5''
*Adding ''5u'' of '''plasma''' will change the potency value of the seeds by a random number in the range from ''-15 to +5''
*Adding ''10u'' of '''holy water''' will change a potency value of the seeds by a random number in the range from ''-5 to +15''

===Sandstone and Soil===
If you pick up the grass and use it (click on it in your hand), you will prepare astroturf. Get a crowbar and remove some floor tiles, then place astroturf in their place. In addition to looking nice, it can be used to get some sand. Just dig it with your spade and you'll get two piles. Now, pick up the sand and use it; you will make a sandstone brick. Using three bricks, you can make a soil plot, which is like a tray, except you can walk over it and there are no lights. You can also build a sandstone door with 10 bricks.

Science can [[Guide_to_advanced_construction#Hydroponics_Tray|build]] hydroponics trays. They can also upgrade them by replacing the matter bins, and this increases the water and nutrient capacity of the tray.
===Wood and Drying Racks===
First you need to get some tower-caps, grow them and harvest them. You can then use hatchet (and some other things, but it's not important) on the logs to chop some planks. They have many uses: you can make chairs, tables, wooden floors and so on. A unique thing here is a drying rack. You can use it to dry a plant, and then smoke it. First, build a rack with 10 planks. Then, grab a plant you want to dry and put it in the rack. Click on the rack and toggle drying so that the red arrows light up. Give it a few seconds and it's done.

Note: you can dry ''any'' plant, and smoking it will give you all chemicals that were in it. You can smoke dried apples if you want, and get nutriment from them.

===[[File:Wooden_barrel.png]] Fermentation Barrel===
You can craft wooden barrels with the crafting menu (under tribal), which requires 30 wood planks [[File:Planks.png]]. Clicking it will toggle it between open and closed. When open you can insert plants or liquid. When closed you can draw liquid by using a container on it. 
Inserting a plant into the barrel will ferment the plant after a few seconds (even if not closing it). This will grind the plant, adding all the plant's contained reagents to the barrel. But it can also add an additional reagent depending on plant used. Most plants will create a special [[Guide_to_food_and_drinks#Wine|wine]] with varied boozepower depending on plant used. Some plants will create other reagents than wine, and some plants will not work at all.
===Things You Can Make Out of Your Plants===
*Add some cable to a potato to make a potato battery. Botany cells have potential to be better than bluespace cells.
*Glowberries and glowshrooms, as the name suggests, glow.
*You can carve a pumpkin with a hatchet. Carved pumpkins can be worn and you can toggle them to emit a weak light.
*You can make a cob-pipe out of a corn cob.
*You can carve a carrot with a hatchet to make a shiv. It's not very strong but it's good at slicing things.
*Flowers and ambrosia can be worn on your head.
* Add dried ambrosia, wheat, tea aspera tips or tobacco leaves to a tower cap log to make a torch.
*Dried ambrosia, tobacco or any mutations of those are able to be smoked from wrapping paper, found in smoking vending machines. You can also grind them and put the liquid in an e-cig.
==Todo list for this guide ==
*Add missing/fix outdated entries in the plant reference chart
*Add some icons and pictures to break up the wall of text
==Another guide==
Since Botany is relatively easy to learn but hard to master, here is an extra guide that focuses on a more practical, step-by-step point of view.
Also includes a lot of extra "recipes" for what you can turn your plants into.

Guide to hydroponics

2023-01-17T18:18:35Z

Wrill: Added Cherry bulbs

[[File:Hydroponics.png|frame|right|Hydroponics. This is your home.]]
== Basics of Botany ==
[[Hydroponics]] and the [[Botanist]]s who work there are important to the station, especially in longer rounds. Botanists grow plants that the [[Chef]] can use for food. Without botany, the station will have to live off of beef jerky and space twinkies, or starve to death.
=== Your Area ===
Hydroponics is divided into two rooms. The big section is where you'll spend most of your time growing goods. Trays are available where you grow plants and two vending machines, one with seeds and the other with miscellaneous items such as nutrients and tools for your job. The bio-generator can be used to grind plants and produce things for the station. In tandem is the seed dispenser used to reproduce your product. The northern area is where you can grab most of the equipment needed to work in botany.

Plants require nutrients (fertilizer) and water to grow. They are also bothered by pests and weeds. 
Trays come equipped with lights that flash specific colors to tell you what's happening with your plant.

From left to right -
* '''Green''': Ready to harvest.
* '''Red''': Low health, caused by weeds/pests/toxins/end of lifespan.
* '''Orange''': High weed level.
* '''Yellow''': Low nutrients.
* '''Blue''': Low water.
Tools that are of use in botany -
* {{anchor|Plant_Analyzer}}'''Plant Analyzer''': Shows detailed detailed plant statistics. Very useful for growing fragile plants like Ambrosia Deus.
* {{anchor|Cultivator}}'''Cultivator''': Kills Weeds.
* '''Plant Bag''': Collects up to 50 items or 100 seeds from your harvest. Useful for moving those into the fridge or biogenerator.
* '''Wrench''': Used to move your trays around.
* '''Wirecutters''': Used to set up the irrigation system. If 30u or more of water is put into trays while the irrigation is set up, water will be shared across trays. This will also distribute things like mutagen and plant killer.
* {{anchor|Hatchet}}'''Hatchet''': Chops tower-caps into planks, chops other things. This is also a robust tool that fits in pockets.
* {{anchor|Shovel}}'''Shovel''': Digs up grass floors and cleans dirt.
* {{anchor|Spade}}'''Spade''': Removes and destroys plants in a tray.
* '''All-In-One Grinder''': This is how you extract reagents from plants - throw them in and hit the "grind" button.
* '''Portable Seed Extractor''': This can harvest and pick up plants and turn up to 100 plants into seeds. Less efficient than the machine.
=== [[File:Seed_Extractor.gif|Seed Extractor]] Plant growing 101 ===
Take some seeds from the vendor and put them into the trays. Now, take a look at the tray with a plant analyzer. For now, you only need to pay attention to the bottom five stats - '''Water/Nutrition''' and '''Weeds/Toxic/Pest''' levels. 
Now, fill a bucket from the water tank and grab fertilizer from the vending machine. You get rid of weeds with the cultivator and remove pests with pest spray. [[Chemistry]] can give you better chemicals for this, which will be explained later in the guide. 
Some plants have a varied growth times, such as wheat growing faster while watermelons or apple trees take a little longer before you can harvest from them. 
Once your tray flashes green, you're set to harvest. If you want to replicate the plant to continue growing more, just insert it into the seed extractor. 
You can click seeds with a pen to change the name of the plant, the seed's description, or the plant's description. After planting in a hydroponics tray the tray updates with the name and description of the plant inside it.
=== [[File:Biogenerator.gif|Bio-generator]] Biogenerator ===
The Biogenerator makes items out of the nutriment in plants. As a rule of thumb: More nutriment = more biomass. Watermelons and pumpkins are commonly used due to their 20% nutriment boost [[#Traits|trait]]. 
To get biomass, grab a spare bucket and equip the machine with it, then use the plant bag to put fruits inside. 
If you somehow run out of fertilizer in the vendors, remember you can print the three standard fertilizers here. Keep in mind that you can craft a whole bunch of useful items from the leather/cloth sheets the biogenerator creates.
=== [[File:plant dna manip.gif]]DNA Extractor ===
The DNA extractor allows you to extract and modify seed stats and [[#Traits|traits]]. This machine is what lets you become a [[Chemist]] on speed.

This is a little complex, so look at: [[Guide_to_hydroponics#Advanced_Botany|Advanced Botany]]
== Stats, reagents and traits ==
Three things determine how your plant will turn out: Their '''stats''', '''reagents''' and '''[[#Traits|traits]]'''.
=== Stats ===
Stats determine whether your plants are small and grow slowly, or are big and fast-growing.

Click expand to see what stats do:
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
* '''Potency''': The most important stat (0 to 100). This affects the amount of chemicals in the plant, though some have additional effects, such as stun length for bananas. 
To get the amount of a given chemical in a plant, multiply the reagent in the chart by the potency: for example, 10% nutriment will be 5 nutriment at 50 potency.
* '''Yield''': How much product you get each harvest. Between 0 and 10. Pay attention to this, because if it drops to 0, you won't harvest anything.
* '''Production Speed''': How fast your plant reaches harvest. Between 1 and 10 -- the '''lower''' the faster. The plant has to wait (Production Speed) age cycles before each harvest.
* '''Maturation Speed''': Age cycles before the plant can start production. The first harvest will be (Maturation Speed + Production Speed).
* '''Lifespan''': When the age is above lifespan, the plant starts losing health. Between 10 and 100. Only important for plants with the Perennial Growth [[#Traits|trait]].
* '''Age''': Age of the plant. Only relevant in terms of the lifespan stat.
* '''Endurance''': Max health. Between 10 and 100. Not very useful, unless you leave your garden often.
* '''Weed growth rate''': Determines how quickly weeds grow in the plant tray. Only relevant with very high values.
* '''Weed vulnerability''': The higher, the more easily a plant is overtaken by weeds. Only relevant with very high values.

=== Reagents/Content ===
This determines what chemicals are present in a grown plant - the [[Guide_to_hydroponics#Advanced_Botany|DNA extractor]] lets you extract and splice these. 
With a bit of creativity, you can mix your own mutagen, produce unique healing chemicals or turn tomatoes into napalm grenades. Solid [[Guide_to_chemistry|Chemistry]] knowledge will help you out immensely. 
For a detailed list, check out: [[Guide_to_hydroponics#Plant reference chart|Plant reference chart]]
=== Traits ===
Traits give your plants unique properties. There are plenty - Perennial Growth for example lets you harvest plants multiple times. 
These can be transferred, just like reagents.

! scope="col" class="unsortable" style='background-color:#BEF781;'|Properties
|-
!{{anchor|Bioluminescence}}Bioluminescence
|Causes the plant to yellow glow, emitting light equal to 10% of potency. Varieties include '''Shadow Emission''' and '''Red Electrical Glow'''.
|-
!{{anchor|Strong Bioluminescence}}Strong Bioluminescence
|Causes the plant to white glow that is similar to standard lights, emitting light equal to 20% of potency.
|-
!{{anchor|Bluespace Activity}}Bluespace Activity
|Gives the plant bluespace properties, making it teleport people hit if the plant has Liquid Contents, and on slip if it has Slippery Skin. Max radius is determined by potency.
|-
!{{anchor|Capacitive Cell Production}}Capacitive Cell Production
|Plants with this trait can be made into batteries with the addition of wire. Electrical Activity increases the cell's maximum charge.
|-
!{{anchor|Carnivory}}Obligate Carnivory
|Makes the plant heal from pests instead of taking damage from them.
|-
!{{anchor|Densified Chemicals}}Densified Chemicals
|Doubles the reagent capacity of the plant. Keep in mind that reagent traits will still add a fixed amount to the plant (this just increases how much can fit in it).
|-
!{{anchor|Electrical Activity}}Electrical Activity
|Gives the plant electrical charge, making it recharge batteries when eaten; it will also electrocute on slip if it also has Slippery Skin and on hit if it has Liquid Contents.
|-
!{{anchor|Fire Resistance}}Fire Resistance
|Makes the seeds and produce fireproof.
|-
!{{anchor|Fungal Vitality}}Fungal Vitality
|The plant acquires mushroom-like properties, removing the need for water and greatly reducing damage from lack of light. Minimum yield is always 1 and the tray can't be overtaken by weeds.
|-
!{{anchor|Gaseous Decomposition}}Gaseous Decomposition
|Plants with this trait emit a smoke cloud when squashed, spewing reagents everywhere. Requires Liquid Contents to be useful. Only available through [[Guide_to_hydroponics#Strange seeds|Strange seeds]] and random mutations.
|-
!{{anchor|Hypodermic Prickles}}Hypodermic Prickles
|Plants with this trait will sting when thrown (or slipped on with Liquid Contents), transferring a portion of their chemicals to the target.
|-
!{{anchor|Invasive Spreading}}Invasive Spreading
|Plants with this trait will invade adjacent trays and destroy other plants growing there. Will not overwrite plants of the same species.
|-
!{{anchor|Liquid Contents}}Liquid Contents
|Causes the plant to squash when thrown or slipped on (Slippery Skin), applying the reagents inside on the target and destroying the plant.
|-
!{{anchor|Perennial Growth}}Perennial Growth
|Plants with this trait don't die on harvest (and can be harvested multiple times).
|-
!{{anchor|Slippery Skin}}Slippery Skin
|Causes the plant, or any products of the plant, to become slippery. The stun time is (Potency * 0.08), divided by 3 unless the plant has lube or is a banana. Maximum stun is 7 seconds. Triggers Hypodermic Prickes and Liquid Contents when combined with them.
|-
!{{anchor|Weed Adaptation}}Weed Adaptation
|The plant acquires weed-like properties, removing the need for nutrients. Plant growth doesn't get slowed by weeds and the tray can't be overtaken by them.

==[[File:Vendnutri.gif]] Chemicals==
A lot of chemicals influence plants - get these from the vending machine, [[Chemistry]] or by growing your own!
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-uncollapsed">
Click expand to see a list of chemicals:
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
===Fertilizers===
*Nutriment: A fertilizer that adds 1 nutrient to the tray and heals the plant 0.5 health per unit added. You can get it by putting your plants and regular food in the grinder.
*[[Ammonia]]: Similar to nutriment, but also increases yield (25u to increase 1 yield). Get it from the [[Chemist]] or hack the Nutri-Vend to get this.
*[[Diethylamine]]: Adds 2 nutrient to the tray, heals the plant 1 health per unit added and increases yield (50u to increase 1 yield). Also kills pests. Get it the same way you get Ammonia.
* Saltpetre: Heals your plant, increases potency and decreases production time. Doesn't add nutrient to the tray.
*Robust Harvest: Adds 1 nutrient to the tray per unit, and permanently increases plant yield of the tray 30% (without mutating the plant). Doesn't work on plants with 0 yield. A tray can only have the modifiers of one of the three special fertilizers at a time (Robust Harvest, E-Z-Nutrient and Left 4 Zed).
===Pest Removal===
* Pest Killer: Kills pests, and adds a small amount of toxicity.
*Weed Killer: Same as above, but for Weeds.
=== Mutation===
*E-Z-Nutrient: Makes your plant mutate once every time it's ready for harvesting, and resets the tray's yield modifier to x1 (if another special fertilizer had previously been used on the tray). A tray can only have the modifiers of one of the three special fertilizers at a time (Robust Harvest, E-Z-Nutrient and Left 4 Zed).
*Left 4 Zed: Makes your plant mutate twice, but the yield will permanently be 1 at best. If the plant's yield is 0, then nothing is produced! You'll have to use another mutagen to harvest the normal yield of the plant. A tray can only have the modifiers of one of the three special fertilizers at a time (Robust Harvest, E-Z-Nutrient and Left 4 Zed).
*[[Unstable Mutagen]]: Used to randomly mutate plants - 5u for a chance to change the plant type, 1u/2u to only change stats.
*Radium and Uranium: Also usable for mutation (10u for plant type, 2u/5u for stats), but damages plants and adds toxicity. Radium is more damaging.
===Plant Meds ===
*[[Ash]]: Adds 0.5 nutrient to the tray, heals the plant 0.25 health per unit added and kills weeds.
*[[Guide_to_chemistry#Multiver|charcoal]]: Makes your plant less toxic. You can get it by whining to anyone who works in [[Medbay]].
*[[Cryoxadone]]: Heals your plant, via <s>miracles</s> science. Also lowers toxicity. Don't expect the [[Chemist]] to give this to you, but the medbay probably has extra beakers of this.
*Holy water: If you can get the [[Chaplain]]'s attention and make him bless your water, it will heal your plant a bit.
===Unorthodox chemicals===
*Soda Water: Mostly adds water, but also heals the plant and adds nutrient to the tray by a tiny amount.
*Milk: Adds some water and a tiny but of nutrient to the tray.
*Beer: Adds a bit of water and nutrient to the tray, but damages the plant a little.
*Blood: Feeds both your plant and pests.
*Virus Food: Adds nutrient to the tray while damaging the plant.
*Nicotine: Kills pests while adding toxicity.
===The bad stuff===
*Sugar: Makes pests and weeds grow stronger. Unless you [[Traitor|plan to use unstable mutagen to unleash giant spiders or Kudzu upon the station]], it's of no use.
* Toxin: Increases toxicity. Good job!
*Plant-B-Gone, Sulphuric Acid, Fluorosulfuric Acid: Damages the plant, adds toxicity and kills weeds. What do you think would happen?
*Fluorine, Chlorine: Same as above, but also drains water.
*Phosphorus: Same as Flourine/Chlorine, but adds nutrients to the tray instead of toxicity. Just use a spade.
* Napalm: Kills weeds, hurts plant and adds toxicity. This is just going downhill. Unless your plant has the fireproof [[#Traits|trait]], you might as well space the whole tray. On fireproof plants it will just kill weeds.
*[[Guide_to_chemistry#Strange_Reagent|Strange Reagent]]: Is supposed to spawn hostile plant creatures but currently doesn't work.

==[[File:Apiary.png|Beekeeping]] [[Beekeeping]]==
Bees greatly increase plant yield, potency and the probability of you getting lynched. Great stuff, and very useful even if you're no traitor!

[[File:Bee.gif]] [[Beekeeping|For more info, click here for the guide on beepeeking.]] [[File:Bee.gif]]

==Advanced Botany==
This is where you get to PLAY GOD and mess with the stats, reagents and [[#Traits|traits]] of plants. 
===Using the DNA manipulator===
1. Go to the locker in the back and take out the box of plant data disks. 
2. Load a disk into the machine along with any seed of choice. 
3. Extract any gene, this will destroy the seed and save it to the disk. 
4. Put in another seed. 
5. You can now modify the seed's stats and genes based on what's on the plant data disk. 
Obviously, this can be quite powerful in the right hands, and even for more basic tasks it can be a major boon.

It is worth noting, however, that the DNA manipulator has an upper limit on how high a stat can be when you try to extract it and save it to disk, and any stats higher than that will be brought down to that cap. Though these caps can be lowered or eliminated if you can get RnD to upgrade your machine, at round-start the caps are very bad, with certain stats like production speed being capped at a level worse than what nearly every plant has initially. [[#Traits|Traits]], on the other hand, can be extracted just fine no matter what parts are used.

Useful genes from default seeds:
* Wheat has a production speed of 1, the fastest possible.
*Tower-caps have very long lifespans (around 80), as well as potency and endurance stats of 50.
*Tobacco plants have a yield of 10, the cap for that stat.
*Apples have the perennial growth [[#Traits|trait]], which allows for you to get multiple harvests from a single plant.
*Watermelon has an endurance nearly on par with tower-caps, making it a good substitute when starting out so you can avoid using up all of your starting tower-cap seeds.
Some genes are unextractable.
 
===Mutations ===
You can mutate plants to A) change stats or B) mutate them into a different subspecies. To do this in a timely manner, you'll need to work with the [[Chemistry]] department.
*The agonizingly slow way is using '''E-Z Nutriment''' to make the plant mutate once every time it's ready to harvest. '''Left 4 Zed''' makes it mutate twice, but kills the yield!

*You can speed up the process to bearable levels by asking your local [[Chemist]] for a few bottles of '''[[Guide_to_chemistry#Unstable Mutagen|Unstable Mutagen]]'''. 
Pour 5 units on your plant and prepare for...
*10% chance of '''mutation into a related species'''. This destroys the old plant and plants a new one. See the [[Guide_to_hydroponics#Plant reference chart|Plant reference chart]] for information on these mutations.
* 10% chance of the '''plant losing lots of health instantly'''. The plant can die because of this
*15% chance of '''heavy stat mutation''' with a 3% chance of a new [[#Traits|trait]] appearing.
* 15% chance of '''normal stat mutation'''.
*20% chance of '''nothing'''. You get a message when this happens.
*10% chance of '''weeds mutating'''. If weed level is less than 5, nothing happens, otherwise you get a random, special mutated weed (Kudzu, Deathnettle, Destroying Angel, Liberty Cap).
*10% chance of '''pests mutating'''. Again, if pest level is less than 5, nothing happens. Otherwise, spiderlings are spawned.
**This is '''bad'''. If the spiderlings escape, they'll grow big and you'll likely get lynched.
Or, if you don't want to bother with species mutation, pour 2 units for a guaranteed heavy stat mutation with a 3% chance of a new [[#Traits|trait]] appearing, or even 1 for a guaranteed normal stat mutation. This method is safe even if you don't have backup seeds, and you can use a bottle for it.
*You can use '''radium''' and '''uranium''', but they cause ill effects, and if you can get radium, you can get mutagen.

*R&D can also research a wonderful thing called a '''Floral Somatoray'''. It has two options: increase yield and mutate the plant. In yield more mode, every time you fire it at the plant, there is a chance the yield will increase. The chance becomes very small when you reach high levels, but it's very useful for low-yield plants. It can even raise yield from zero! In mutation mode, it will always induce a normal stat mutation.
===Fixing awful stats===
Mutating plants has a chance of really ruining stats. Luckily, there are a few ways to fix them:
*Unstable Mutagen. Using 1u slightly changes stats, 2u has more drastic effects.
* Saltpetre. Increases potency and decreases production time.
*Ammonia. Increases yield.
*Floral Somatoray. Increases yield and works as a substitute for Unstable Mutagen.
===Dude weeds===
Trays, whether empty or occupied by plants, can be occasionally overtaken by a weed if their level is 5 or more. In that case the old plant is destroyed, and a new one will sprout in its place.

Possible plants include:
*1/6 chance for Reishi/Starshittle.
*1/9 chance for Nettle/Harebell/Amanita/Chanterelle/Tower Cap/Plump Helmets
Using 5u of unstable mutagen on high weed level trays results in different plants:
*Kudzu, Deathnettle, Destroying Angel, Liberty Cap
==Other Notes==

===[[file:Bottle.png]] Growing your own mutagen===
Not robust enough to steal a chem dispenser? Try this out.
*First, plant pumpkins and mutate them into blumpkins.
*Now, insert their Chlorine production [[#Traits|trait]] into glowshrooms and remove the Nutriment one.
* That's it! You now have a plant that grows unstable mutagen - just pop the produce into the grinder.
*You might want to add Densified Chemicals from Redbeets as well as Perennial Growth to optimize your harvest.
===[[File:Dispenser.png]] Other ways to mutagen ===
Chemistry is <s>busy curing the plague</s> too high to help you out?
*<s>Bad idea: Steal a chem dispenser. This will start a blood feud and is one of the biggest reasons why Botanists are hated by some. Think of it as someone stealing all your plant trays.</s>
*<s>Better: Ask Medbay to print you a spare chem dispenser board. After very basic research (Biological Technology), the medical protolathe is able to print chem dispenser boards.</s>
*<s>Or: Grab the spare chem dispenser board from tech storage. The AI, silicons and all members of the Engineering department can let you in.</s>
*<s>For stock parts: Print them from a public autolathe (if such has been built) or ask RnD/Engineering for a part replacer with stock parts. The parts are: 2 matter bins, 1 capacitor, 1 micro-manipulator, 1 power cell, 1 glass sheet. </s>
*<s>For stock parts you can also disassemble a hydroponics tray and a cell charger. A cell can then be found or gotten from disassembling a cyborg recharger.</s>
*Just use your Minor Botanical Chem Dispenser. It can give you mutagen, saltpetre and water roundstart and with t4 parts you can get plantbgone, weedkiller, pestkiller and diethylamine.
===[[file:Ambrosia_gaia.png]] Upgrading plant trays===
Composting enough plants that contain Earthsblood (20 units from plants like [[#Ambrosia gaia|Ambrosia Gaia]]) into a tray will give it a golden shine. Now it will no longer require water, fertilizer or weed/pest removal.

This is great in combination with plants that have the Perennial Growth [[#Traits|trait]]! A lot of Botanists will upgrade their trays before getting started with actual hydroponics.

Upgraded trays permanently contain the last fertilizer you used before the upgrade. Robust Harvest is usually the best choice.

Instead of keeping the original Gaia plant that most likely has gimped stats - insert the Earthsblood production [[#Traits|trait]] into a more robust plant.

If your DNA extractor hasn't been upgraded yet: Wheat has a production speed of 1 and good overall stats. If you're lucky, your station will have 50 potency Wheat bushels just lying around at roundstart.

You can speed up the process by removing all contents but Earthsblood production and adding the Densified Chemicals (Redbeet) [[#Traits|trait]].
===[[file:Replicapodplant.png]] Replica Pod Cloning ===
Replica pods can be used to grow dead people back to life - even when their brain and head are missing.

To clone someone, follow these simple steps:
* Take a blood sample from the body using a syringe.
*Inject it into the bag of seeds.
*Plant the seeds.
*Let the plant grow and then harvest it.
*If the ghost of the corpse is still online, and did not turn on "Do not Resuscitate", that person will be cloned as a [[Podman]].
*If there was no ghost available, the resulting harvest will simply produce a new pack of seeds.
The [[Podman|podmen]] are a little different from normal humans. E.g. they regenerate in light but suffer in darkness and don't get attacked by bees.

Cabbage can be mutated into Replica Pod.
===Strange Seeds===
Strange seeds (from hacked vendors or cargo crates) have completely random reagents and [[#Traits|traits]].

Notable examples are:
*Gaseous Decomposition
*Nitroglycerin
*Microbes (Fungal Tuberculosis)
*Any drink, like Gin Tonic or Beepsky Smash
*Glitter
*Plasmaman Mutation Toxin
*Hell Water
Of course, this is pretty gimmicky and unreliable.
===[[file:Kudzuplant.png]] Kudzu {{anchor|Kudzu}}===
Kudzu is a weed that can appear when adding 5u [[Guide_to_chemistry#Unstable Mutagen|Unstable Mutagen]] to a tray with a weed level of 5 or above. The tray version of kudzu will grow normally in its tray. When harvested it will produce kudzu pods [[File:Kudzu.png]]. The kudzu pod is like any other fruit/vegetable and can be eaten or grinded. To create wild-spreading kudzu, you must put a kudzu pod into a seed extractor, which will create packs of kudzu seeds [[File:Kudzuseed.png]]. Then activate a kudzu seed in your hand to start planting wild-spreading kudzu on the floor. 
Some plant stats will affect the wild-spreading version of kudzu in specific ways:
*Potency of the seed will make kudzu mutate more on spread, the chance to mutate on each new piece is '''[potency / 10]'''
*Production will affect how fast the kudzu can spread, usual kudzu spreads at a rate of 20% of the amount of pieces per tick but no more than 30, production changes the cap '''[30 * production / 50]''' and the percent of processed pieces per tick '''[20 * (production / 50)]'''
Killing the last piece of kudzu will create a kudzu seed in its place with all the ackumulated mutations saved in the seed. So if you reactivate it, the new kudzu on the floor will have all the same mutations the seed had, and will spread it to all its progenitors. You can examine a wild kudzu to see what mutations it has. When mutating it typically changes color. 
Kudzu can gain mutations only on spread, here is the list of all of them:
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed">
Click expand to see Kudzu [[#Traits|traits]] and mutations:
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
*'''CO2 consumption''' - ''positive'' mutation, consumes CO2 from the air
*<s>'''Space covering''' - ''positive'' mutation, makes vines grow vine floors over space</s> Removed as of August 23 2017.
*'''Light''' - ''positive'' mutation, about 40% of the vines with this mutation emit light slightly more powerful than PDA
*'''Transparency''' - ''positive'' mutation, makes vines look-through
*'''Toxins consumption''' - ''positive'' mutation, absorbs plasma from the air
*<s>'''Bluespace vines''' - ''minor negative'' mutation, makes vines be able to grow through anything</s> Removed as of August 23 2017.
*'''Explosive''' - ''minor negative'' mutation, on death vines with this mutation explode with 0,0,2 power, so clusters of this vine will chain-explode one after another
*'''Fire resistant''' - ''minor negative'' mutation, makes vines ignore fire damage, be it plasma fires or welders
*'''Vine eating''' - ''minor negative'' mutation, vines with this mutation will eat vines without it
*'''Toxicity''' - ''negative'' mutation, eating vine with this mutation or walking thought it will cause you toxin damage
*'''Aggressive spreading''' - ''negative'' mutation, on spreading vines will cause effect of mini-explosion on the tile they spread to, mobs buckled by this vine will also experience effects akin to minor explosion
*'''O2 consumption''' - ''negative'' mutation, absorbs O2 from the air around
*'''N2 consumption''' - ''negative'' mutation, absorbs N2 from the air
*'''Thorns''' - ''negative'' mutation, makes mobs touching or going through vines recieve physical damage
*'''Hardening''' - ''negative'' mutation, makes vines not die fast from sharp objects, but makes non-sharp objects(hands included) be more effective agaisnt them, on the full maturation block the passage
*'''Flowering''' - ''negative'' mutation, makes vines very entangly and spawns harmful flowers occasionally, flowers after destruction spawn flower mob that is agressive and attacks

Adding special chemicals to the tray when the seeds are growing will affect the specific kudzu mutations:
* Adding ''5u'' of '''welding fuel''' will remove random ''positive'' mutation with a ''20%'' probability
*Adding ''5u'' of '''phenol''' will remove a random ''minor negative'' mutation with a ''20%'' probability
* Adding ''5u'' of '''sterilizine''' will remove a random ''negative'' mutation with a ''20%'' probability
*Adding ''15u'' of '''blood''' will change the production value of the seeds by a random number in the range from ''-5 to +15''
*Adding ''5u'' of '''amatoxin''' will change the production value of the seeds by a random number in the range from ''-15 to +5''
*Adding ''5u'' of '''plasma''' will change the potency value of the seeds by a random number in the range from ''-15 to +5''
*Adding ''10u'' of '''holy water''' will change a potency value of the seeds by a random number in the range from ''-5 to +15''

===Sandstone and Soil===
If you pick up the grass and use it (click on it in your hand), you will prepare astroturf. Get a crowbar and remove some floor tiles, then place astroturf in their place. In addition to looking nice, it can be used to get some sand. Just dig it with your spade and you'll get two piles. Now, pick up the sand and use it; you will make a sandstone brick. Using three bricks, you can make a soil plot, which is like a tray, except you can walk over it and there are no lights. You can also build a sandstone door with 10 bricks.

Science can [[Guide_to_advanced_construction#Hydroponics_Tray|build]] hydroponics trays. They can also upgrade them by replacing the matter bins, and this increases the water and nutrient capacity of the tray.
===Wood and Drying Racks===
First you need to get some tower-caps, grow them and harvest them. You can then use hatchet (and some other things, but it's not important) on the logs to chop some planks. They have many uses: you can make chairs, tables, wooden floors and so on. A unique thing here is a drying rack. You can use it to dry a plant, and then smoke it. First, build a rack with 10 planks. Then, grab a plant you want to dry and put it in the rack. Click on the rack and toggle drying so that the red arrows light up. Give it a few seconds and it's done.

Note: you can dry ''any'' plant, and smoking it will give you all chemicals that were in it. You can smoke dried apples if you want, and get nutriment from them.

===[[File:Wooden_barrel.png]] Fermentation Barrel===
You can craft wooden barrels with the crafting menu (under tribal), which requires 30 wood planks [[File:Planks.png]]. Clicking it will toggle it between open and closed. When open you can insert plants or liquid. When closed you can draw liquid by using a container on it. 
Inserting a plant into the barrel will ferment the plant after a few seconds (even if not closing it). This will grind the plant, adding all the plant's contained reagents to the barrel. But it can also add an additional reagent depending on plant used. Most plants will create a special [[Guide_to_food_and_drinks#Wine|wine]] with varied boozepower depending on plant used. Some plants will create other reagents than wine, and some plants will not work at all.
===Things You Can Make Out of Your Plants===
*Add some cable to a potato to make a potato battery. Botany cells have potential to be better than bluespace cells.
*Glowberries and glowshrooms, as the name suggests, glow.
*You can carve a pumpkin with a hatchet. Carved pumpkins can be worn and you can toggle them to emit a weak light.
*You can make a cob-pipe out of a corn cob.
*You can carve a carrot with a hatchet to make a shiv. It's not very strong but it's good at slicing things.
*Flowers and ambrosia can be worn on your head.
* Add dried ambrosia, wheat, tea aspera tips or tobacco leaves to a tower cap log to make a torch.
*Dried ambrosia, tobacco or any mutations of those are able to be smoked from wrapping paper, found in smoking vending machines. You can also grind them and put the liquid in an e-cig.
==Todo list for this guide ==
*Add missing/fix outdated entries in the plant reference chart
*Add some icons and pictures to break up the wall of text
==Another guide==
Since Botany is relatively easy to learn but hard to master, here is an extra guide that focuses on a more practical, step-by-step point of view.
Also includes a lot of extra "recipes" for what you can turn your plants into.

Wrill: yellow bioluminescence for holy melons

[[File:Hydroponics.png|frame|right|Hydroponics. This is your home.]]
== Basics of Botany ==
[[Hydroponics]] and the [[Botanist]]s who work there are important to the station, especially in longer rounds. Botanists grow plants that the [[Chef]] can use for food. Without botany, the station will have to live off of beef jerky and space twinkies, or starve to death.
=== Your Area ===
Hydroponics is divided into two rooms. The big section is where you'll spend most of your time growing goods. Trays are available where you grow plants and two vending machines, one with seeds and the other with miscellaneous items such as nutrients and tools for your job. The bio-generator can be used to grind plants and produce things for the station. In tandem is the seed dispenser used to reproduce your product. The northern area is where you can grab most of the equipment needed to work in botany.

Plants require nutrients (fertilizer) and water to grow. They are also bothered by pests and weeds. 
Trays come equipped with lights that flash specific colors to tell you what's happening with your plant.

From left to right -
* '''Green''': Ready to harvest.
* '''Red''': Low health, caused by weeds/pests/toxins/end of lifespan.
* '''Orange''': High weed level.
* '''Yellow''': Low nutrients.
* '''Blue''': Low water.
Tools that are of use in botany -
* {{anchor|Plant_Analyzer}}'''Plant Analyzer''': Shows detailed detailed plant statistics. Very useful for growing fragile plants like Ambrosia Deus.
* {{anchor|Cultivator}}'''Cultivator''': Kills Weeds.
* '''Plant Bag''': Collects up to 50 items or 100 seeds from your harvest. Useful for moving those into the fridge or biogenerator.
* '''Wrench''': Used to move your trays around.
* '''Wirecutters''': Used to set up the irrigation system. If 30u or more of water is put into trays while the irrigation is set up, water will be shared across trays. This will also distribute things like mutagen and plant killer.
* {{anchor|Hatchet}}'''Hatchet''': Chops tower-caps into planks, chops other things. This is also a robust tool that fits in pockets.
* {{anchor|Shovel}}'''Shovel''': Digs up grass floors and cleans dirt.
* {{anchor|Spade}}'''Spade''': Removes and destroys plants in a tray.
* '''All-In-One Grinder''': This is how you extract reagents from plants - throw them in and hit the "grind" button.
* '''Portable Seed Extractor''': This can harvest and pick up plants and turn up to 100 plants into seeds. Less efficient than the machine.
=== [[File:Seed_Extractor.gif|Seed Extractor]] Plant growing 101 ===
Take some seeds from the vendor and put them into the trays. Now, take a look at the tray with a plant analyzer. For now, you only need to pay attention to the bottom five stats - '''Water/Nutrition''' and '''Weeds/Toxic/Pest''' levels. 
Now, fill a bucket from the water tank and grab fertilizer from the vending machine. You get rid of weeds with the cultivator and remove pests with pest spray. [[Chemistry]] can give you better chemicals for this, which will be explained later in the guide. 
Some plants have a varied growth times, such as wheat growing faster while watermelons or apple trees take a little longer before you can harvest from them. 
Once your tray flashes green, you're set to harvest. If you want to replicate the plant to continue growing more, just insert it into the seed extractor. 
You can click seeds with a pen to change the name of the plant, the seed's description, or the plant's description. After planting in a hydroponics tray the tray updates with the name and description of the plant inside it.
=== [[File:Biogenerator.gif|Bio-generator]] Biogenerator ===
The Biogenerator makes items out of the nutriment in plants. As a rule of thumb: More nutriment = more biomass. Watermelons and pumpkins are commonly used due to their 20% nutriment boost [[#Traits|trait]]. 
To get biomass, grab a spare bucket and equip the machine with it, then use the plant bag to put fruits inside. 
If you somehow run out of fertilizer in the vendors, remember you can print the three standard fertilizers here. Keep in mind that you can craft a whole bunch of useful items from the leather/cloth sheets the biogenerator creates.
=== [[File:plant dna manip.gif]]DNA Extractor ===
The DNA extractor allows you to extract and modify seed stats and [[#Traits|traits]]. This machine is what lets you become a [[Chemist]] on speed.

This is a little complex, so look at: [[Guide_to_hydroponics#Advanced_Botany|Advanced Botany]]
== Stats, reagents and traits ==
Three things determine how your plant will turn out: Their '''stats''', '''reagents''' and '''[[#Traits|traits]]'''.
=== Stats ===
Stats determine whether your plants are small and grow slowly, or are big and fast-growing.
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed">
Click expand to see what stats do:
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
* '''Potency''': The most important stat (0 to 100). This affects the amount of chemicals in the plant, though some have additional effects, such as stun length for bananas. 
To get the amount of a given chemical in a plant, multiply the reagent in the chart by the potency: for example, 10% nutriment will be 5 nutriment at 50 potency.
* '''Yield''': How much product you get each harvest. Between 0 and 10. Pay attention to this, because if it drops to 0, you won't harvest anything.
* '''Production Speed''': How fast your plant reaches harvest. Between 1 and 10 -- the '''lower''' the faster. The plant has to wait (Production Speed) age cycles before each harvest.
* '''Maturation Speed''': Age cycles before the plant can start production. The first harvest will be (Maturation Speed + Production Speed).
* '''Lifespan''': When the age is above lifespan, the plant starts losing health. Between 10 and 100. Only important for plants with the Perennial Growth [[#Traits|trait]].
* '''Age''': Age of the plant. Only relevant in terms of the lifespan stat.
* '''Endurance''': Max health. Between 10 and 100. Not very useful, unless you leave your garden often.
* '''Weed growth rate''': Determines how quickly weeds grow in the plant tray. Only relevant with very high values.
* '''Weed vulnerability''': The higher, the more easily a plant is overtaken by weeds. Only relevant with very high values.
</div>
</div>
=== Reagents/Content ===
This determines what chemicals are present in a grown plant - the [[Guide_to_hydroponics#Advanced_Botany|DNA extractor]] lets you extract and splice these. 
With a bit of creativity, you can mix your own mutagen, produce unique healing chemicals or turn tomatoes into napalm grenades. Solid [[Guide_to_chemistry|Chemistry]] knowledge will help you out immensely. 
For a detailed list, check out: [[Guide_to_hydroponics#Plant reference chart|Plant reference chart]]
=== Traits ===
Traits give your plants unique properties. There are plenty - Perennial Growth for example lets you harvest plants multiple times. 
These can be transferred, just like reagents.

==[[File:Vendnutri.gif]] Chemicals==
A lot of chemicals influence plants - get these from the vending machine, [[Chemistry]] or by growing your own!
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-uncollapsed">
Click expand to see a list of chemicals:
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
===Fertilizers ===
*Nutriment: A fertilizer that adds 1 nutrient to the tray and heals the plant 0.5 health per unit added. You can get it by putting your plants and regular food in the grinder.
*[[Ammonia]]: Similar to nutriment, but also increases yield (25u to increase 1 yield). Get it from the [[Chemist]] or hack the Nutri-Vend to get this.
*[[Diethylamine]]: Adds 2 nutrient to the tray, heals the plant 1 health per unit added and increases yield (50u to increase 1 yield). Also kills pests. Get it the same way you get Ammonia.
* Saltpetre: Heals your plant, increases potency and decreases production time. Doesn't add nutrient to the tray.
*Robust Harvest: Adds 1 nutrient to the tray per unit, and permanently increases plant yield of the tray 30% (without mutating the plant). Doesn't work on plants with 0 yield. A tray can only have the modifiers of one of the three special fertilizers at a time (Robust Harvest, E-Z-Nutrient and Left 4 Zed).
===Pest Removal===
* Pest Killer: Kills pests, and adds a small amount of toxicity.
*Weed Killer: Same as above, but for Weeds.
===Mutation===
*E-Z-Nutrient: Makes your plant mutate once every time it's ready for harvesting, and resets the tray's yield modifier to x1 (if another special fertilizer had previously been used on the tray). A tray can only have the modifiers of one of the three special fertilizers at a time (Robust Harvest, E-Z-Nutrient and Left 4 Zed).
*Left 4 Zed: Makes your plant mutate twice, but the yield will permanently be 1 at best. If the plant's yield is 0, then nothing is produced! You'll have to use another mutagen to harvest the normal yield of the plant. A tray can only have the modifiers of one of the three special fertilizers at a time (Robust Harvest, E-Z-Nutrient and Left 4 Zed).
*[[Unstable Mutagen]]: Used to randomly mutate plants - 5u for a chance to change the plant type, 1u/2u to only change stats.
*Radium and Uranium: Also usable for mutation (10u for plant type, 2u/5u for stats), but damages plants and adds toxicity. Radium is more damaging.
===Plant Meds===
*[[Ash]]: Adds 0.5 nutrient to the tray, heals the plant 0.25 health per unit added and kills weeds.
*[[Guide_to_chemistry#Multiver|charcoal]]: Makes your plant less toxic. You can get it by whining to anyone who works in [[Medbay]].
*[[Cryoxadone]]: Heals your plant, via <s>miracles</s> science. Also lowers toxicity. Don't expect the [[Chemist]] to give this to you, but the medbay probably has extra beakers of this.
*Holy water: If you can get the [[Chaplain]]'s attention and make him bless your water, it will heal your plant a bit.
===Unorthodox chemicals===
*Soda Water: Mostly adds water, but also heals the plant and adds nutrient to the tray by a tiny amount.
*Milk: Adds some water and a tiny but of nutrient to the tray.
*Beer: Adds a bit of water and nutrient to the tray, but damages the plant a little.
*Blood: Feeds both your plant and pests.
*Virus Food: Adds nutrient to the tray while damaging the plant.
*Nicotine: Kills pests while adding toxicity.
===The bad stuff===
*Sugar: Makes pests and weeds grow stronger. Unless you [[Traitor|plan to use unstable mutagen to unleash giant spiders or Kudzu upon the station]], it's of no use.
* Toxin: Increases toxicity. Good job!
* Plant-B-Gone, Sulphuric Acid, Fluorosulfuric Acid: Damages the plant, adds toxicity and kills weeds. What do you think would happen?
* Fluorine, Chlorine: Same as above, but also drains water.
*Phosphorus: Same as Flourine/Chlorine, but adds nutrients to the tray instead of toxicity. Just use a spade.
*Napalm: Kills weeds, hurts plant and adds toxicity. This is just going downhill. Unless your plant has the fireproof [[#Traits|trait]], you might as well space the whole tray. On fireproof plants it will just kill weeds.
*[[Guide_to_chemistry#Strange_Reagent|Strange Reagent]]: Is supposed to spawn hostile plant creatures but currently doesn't work.
</div>
</div>
==[[File:Apiary.png|Beekeeping]] [[Beekeeping]]==
Bees greatly increase plant yield, potency and the probability of you getting lynched. Great stuff, and very useful even if you're no traitor!

[[File:Bee.gif]] [[Beekeeping|For more info, click here for the guide on beepeeking.]] [[File:Bee.gif]]

== Advanced Botany==
This is where you get to PLAY GOD and mess with the stats, reagents and [[#Traits|traits]] of plants. 
===Using the DNA manipulator ===
1. Go to the locker in the back and take out the box of plant data disks. 
2. Load a disk into the machine along with any seed of choice. 
3. Extract any gene, this will destroy the seed and save it to the disk. 
4. Put in another seed. 
5. You can now modify the seed's stats and genes based on what's on the plant data disk. 
Obviously, this can be quite powerful in the right hands, and even for more basic tasks it can be a major boon.

It is worth noting, however, that the DNA manipulator has an upper limit on how high a stat can be when you try to extract it and save it to disk, and any stats higher than that will be brought down to that cap. Though these caps can be lowered or eliminated if you can get RnD to upgrade your machine, at round-start the caps are very bad, with certain stats like production speed being capped at a level worse than what nearly every plant has initially. [[#Traits|Traits]], on the other hand, can be extracted just fine no matter what parts are used.

Useful genes from default seeds:
*Wheat has a production speed of 1, the fastest possible.
*Tower-caps have very long lifespans (around 80), as well as potency and endurance stats of 50.
*Tobacco plants have a yield of 10, the cap for that stat.
*Apples have the perennial growth [[#Traits|trait]], which allows for you to get multiple harvests from a single plant.
*Watermelon has an endurance nearly on par with tower-caps, making it a good substitute when starting out so you can avoid using up all of your starting tower-cap seeds.
Some genes are unextractable.
 
===Mutations===
You can mutate plants to A) change stats or B) mutate them into a different subspecies. To do this in a timely manner, you'll need to work with the [[Chemistry]] department.
*The agonizingly slow way is using '''E-Z Nutriment''' to make the plant mutate once every time it's ready to harvest. '''Left 4 Zed''' makes it mutate twice, but kills the yield!

*You can speed up the process to bearable levels by asking your local [[Chemist]] for a few bottles of '''[[Guide_to_chemistry#Unstable Mutagen|Unstable Mutagen]]'''. 
Pour 5 units on your plant and prepare for...
*10% chance of '''mutation into a related species'''. This destroys the old plant and plants a new one. See the [[Guide_to_hydroponics#Plant reference chart|Plant reference chart]] for information on these mutations.
* 10% chance of the '''plant losing lots of health instantly'''. The plant can die because of this
*15% chance of '''heavy stat mutation''' with a 3% chance of a new [[#Traits|trait]] appearing.
*15% chance of '''normal stat mutation'''.
*20% chance of '''nothing'''. You get a message when this happens.
*10% chance of '''weeds mutating'''. If weed level is less than 5, nothing happens, otherwise you get a random, special mutated weed (Kudzu, Deathnettle, Destroying Angel, Liberty Cap).
*10% chance of '''pests mutating'''. Again, if pest level is less than 5, nothing happens. Otherwise, spiderlings are spawned.
** This is '''bad'''. If the spiderlings escape, they'll grow big and you'll likely get lynched.
Or, if you don't want to bother with species mutation, pour 2 units for a guaranteed heavy stat mutation with a 3% chance of a new [[#Traits|trait]] appearing, or even 1 for a guaranteed normal stat mutation. This method is safe even if you don't have backup seeds, and you can use a bottle for it.
*You can use '''radium''' and '''uranium''', but they cause ill effects, and if you can get radium, you can get mutagen.

*R&D can also research a wonderful thing called a '''Floral Somatoray'''. It has two options: increase yield and mutate the plant. In yield more mode, every time you fire it at the plant, there is a chance the yield will increase. The chance becomes very small when you reach high levels, but it's very useful for low-yield plants. It can even raise yield from zero! In mutation mode, it will always induce a normal stat mutation.
===Fixing awful stats===
Mutating plants has a chance of really ruining stats. Luckily, there are a few ways to fix them:
*Unstable Mutagen. Using 1u slightly changes stats, 2u has more drastic effects.
* Saltpetre. Increases potency and decreases production time.
*Ammonia. Increases yield.
*Floral Somatoray. Increases yield and works as a substitute for Unstable Mutagen.
===Dude weeds ===
Trays, whether empty or occupied by plants, can be occasionally overtaken by a weed if their level is 5 or more. In that case the old plant is destroyed, and a new one will sprout in its place.

Possible plants include:
*1/6 chance for Reishi/Starshittle.
*1/9 chance for Nettle/Harebell/Amanita/Chanterelle/Tower Cap/Plump Helmets
Using 5u of unstable mutagen on high weed level trays results in different plants:
*Kudzu, Deathnettle, Destroying Angel, Liberty Cap
==Other Notes==

===[[file:Bottle.png]] Growing your own mutagen===
Not robust enough to steal a chem dispenser? Try this out.
*First, plant pumpkins and mutate them into blumpkins.
*Now, insert their Chlorine production [[#Traits|trait]] into glowshrooms and remove the Nutriment one.
*That's it! You now have a plant that grows unstable mutagen - just pop the produce into the grinder.
*You might want to add Densified Chemicals from Redbeets as well as Perennial Growth to optimize your harvest.
===[[File:Dispenser.png]] Other ways to mutagen===
Chemistry is <s>busy curing the plague</s> too high to help you out?
*<s>Bad idea: Steal a chem dispenser. This will start a blood feud and is one of the biggest reasons why Botanists are hated by some. Think of it as someone stealing all your plant trays.</s>
*<s>Better: Ask Medbay to print you a spare chem dispenser board. After very basic research (Biological Technology), the medical protolathe is able to print chem dispenser boards.</s>
*<s>Or: Grab the spare chem dispenser board from tech storage. The AI, silicons and all members of the Engineering department can let you in.</s>
*<s>For stock parts: Print them from a public autolathe (if such has been built) or ask RnD/Engineering for a part replacer with stock parts. The parts are: 2 matter bins, 1 capacitor, 1 micro-manipulator, 1 power cell, 1 glass sheet. </s>
*<s>For stock parts you can also disassemble a hydroponics tray and a cell charger. A cell can then be found or gotten from disassembling a cyborg recharger.</s>
*Just use your Minor Botanical Chem Dispenser. It can give you mutagen, saltpetre and water roundstart and with t4 parts you can get plantbgone, weedkiller, pestkiller and diethylamine.
===[[file:Ambrosia_gaia.png]] Upgrading plant trays===
Composting enough plants that contain Earthsblood (20 units from plants like [[#Ambrosia gaia|Ambrosia Gaia]]) into a tray will give it a golden shine. Now it will no longer require water, fertilizer or weed/pest removal.

This is great in combination with plants that have the Perennial Growth [[#Traits|trait]]! A lot of Botanists will upgrade their trays before getting started with actual hydroponics.

Upgraded trays permanently contain the last fertilizer you used before the upgrade. Robust Harvest is usually the best choice.

Instead of keeping the original Gaia plant that most likely has gimped stats - insert the Earthsblood production [[#Traits|trait]] into a more robust plant.

If your DNA extractor hasn't been upgraded yet: Wheat has a production speed of 1 and good overall stats. If you're lucky, your station will have 50 potency Wheat bushels just lying around at roundstart.

You can speed up the process by removing all contents but Earthsblood production and adding the Densified Chemicals (Redbeet) [[#Traits|trait]].
===[[file:Replicapodplant.png]] Replica Pod Cloning===
Replica pods can be used to grow dead people back to life - even when their brain and head are missing.

To clone someone, follow these simple steps:
*Take a blood sample from the body using a syringe.
*Inject it into the bag of seeds.
*Plant the seeds.
*Let the plant grow and then harvest it.
* If the ghost of the corpse is still online, and did not turn on "Do not Resuscitate", that person will be cloned as a [[Podman]].
*If there was no ghost available, the resulting harvest will simply produce a new pack of seeds.
The [[Podman|podmen]] are a little different from normal humans. E.g. they regenerate in light but suffer in darkness and don't get attacked by bees.

Cabbage can be mutated into Replica Pod.
===Strange Seeds===
Strange seeds (from hacked vendors or cargo crates) have completely random reagents and [[#Traits|traits]].

Notable examples are:
* Gaseous Decomposition
*Nitroglycerin
*Microbes (Fungal Tuberculosis)
*Any drink, like Gin Tonic or Beepsky Smash
*Glitter
*Plasmaman Mutation Toxin
*Hell Water
Of course, this is pretty gimmicky and unreliable.
===[[file:Kudzuplant.png]] Kudzu {{anchor|Kudzu}}===
Kudzu is a weed that can appear when adding 5u [[Guide_to_chemistry#Unstable Mutagen|Unstable Mutagen]] to a tray with a weed level of 5 or above. The tray version of kudzu will grow normally in its tray. When harvested it will produce kudzu pods [[File:Kudzu.png]]. The kudzu pod is like any other fruit/vegetable and can be eaten or grinded. To create wild-spreading kudzu, you must put a kudzu pod into a seed extractor, which will create packs of kudzu seeds [[File:Kudzuseed.png]]. Then activate a kudzu seed in your hand to start planting wild-spreading kudzu on the floor. 
Some plant stats will affect the wild-spreading version of kudzu in specific ways:
*Potency of the seed will make kudzu mutate more on spread, the chance to mutate on each new piece is '''[potency / 10]'''
*Production will affect how fast the kudzu can spread, usual kudzu spreads at a rate of 20% of the amount of pieces per tick but no more than 30, production changes the cap '''[30 * production / 50]''' and the percent of processed pieces per tick '''[20 * (production / 50)]'''
Killing the last piece of kudzu will create a kudzu seed in its place with all the ackumulated mutations saved in the seed. So if you reactivate it, the new kudzu on the floor will have all the same mutations the seed had, and will spread it to all its progenitors. You can examine a wild kudzu to see what mutations it has. When mutating it typically changes color. 
Kudzu can gain mutations only on spread, here is the list of all of them:
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed">
Click expand to see Kudzu [[#Traits|traits]] and mutations:
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
*'''CO2 consumption''' - ''positive'' mutation, consumes CO2 from the air
*<s>'''Space covering''' - ''positive'' mutation, makes vines grow vine floors over space</s> Removed as of August 23 2017.
*'''Light''' - ''positive'' mutation, about 40% of the vines with this mutation emit light slightly more powerful than PDA
*'''Transparency''' - ''positive'' mutation, makes vines look-through
*'''Toxins consumption''' - ''positive'' mutation, absorbs plasma from the air
*<s>'''Bluespace vines''' - ''minor negative'' mutation, makes vines be able to grow through anything</s> Removed as of August 23 2017.
*'''Explosive''' - ''minor negative'' mutation, on death vines with this mutation explode with 0,0,2 power, so clusters of this vine will chain-explode one after another
*'''Fire resistant''' - ''minor negative'' mutation, makes vines ignore fire damage, be it plasma fires or welders
*'''Vine eating''' - ''minor negative'' mutation, vines with this mutation will eat vines without it
*'''Toxicity''' - ''negative'' mutation, eating vine with this mutation or walking thought it will cause you toxin damage
*'''Aggressive spreading''' - ''negative'' mutation, on spreading vines will cause effect of mini-explosion on the tile they spread to, mobs buckled by this vine will also experience effects akin to minor explosion
*'''O2 consumption''' - ''negative'' mutation, absorbs O2 from the air around
*'''N2 consumption''' - ''negative'' mutation, absorbs N2 from the air
*'''Thorns''' - ''negative'' mutation, makes mobs touching or going through vines recieve physical damage
*'''Hardening''' - ''negative'' mutation, makes vines not die fast from sharp objects, but makes non-sharp objects(hands included) be more effective agaisnt them, on the full maturation block the passage
*'''Flowering''' - ''negative'' mutation, makes vines very entangly and spawns harmful flowers occasionally, flowers after destruction spawn flower mob that is agressive and attacks

Adding special chemicals to the tray when the seeds are growing will affect the specific kudzu mutations:
*Adding ''5u'' of '''welding fuel''' will remove random ''positive'' mutation with a ''20%'' probability
*Adding ''5u'' of '''phenol''' will remove a random ''minor negative'' mutation with a ''20%'' probability
*Adding ''5u'' of '''sterilizine''' will remove a random ''negative'' mutation with a ''20%'' probability
* Adding ''15u'' of '''blood''' will change the production value of the seeds by a random number in the range from ''-5 to +15''
*Adding ''5u'' of '''amatoxin''' will change the production value of the seeds by a random number in the range from ''-15 to +5''
*Adding ''5u'' of '''plasma''' will change the potency value of the seeds by a random number in the range from ''-15 to +5''
*Adding ''10u'' of '''holy water''' will change a potency value of the seeds by a random number in the range from ''-5 to +15''

===Sandstone and Soil===
If you pick up the grass and use it (click on it in your hand), you will prepare astroturf. Get a crowbar and remove some floor tiles, then place astroturf in their place. In addition to looking nice, it can be used to get some sand. Just dig it with your spade and you'll get two piles. Now, pick up the sand and use it; you will make a sandstone brick. Using three bricks, you can make a soil plot, which is like a tray, except you can walk over it and there are no lights. You can also build a sandstone door with 10 bricks.

Science can [[Guide_to_advanced_construction#Hydroponics_Tray|build]] hydroponics trays. They can also upgrade them by replacing the matter bins, and this increases the water and nutrient capacity of the tray.
===Wood and Drying Racks===
First you need to get some tower-caps, grow them and harvest them. You can then use hatchet (and some other things, but it's not important) on the logs to chop some planks. They have many uses: you can make chairs, tables, wooden floors and so on. A unique thing here is a drying rack. You can use it to dry a plant, and then smoke it. First, build a rack with 10 planks. Then, grab a plant you want to dry and put it in the rack. Click on the rack and toggle drying so that the red arrows light up. Give it a few seconds and it's done.

Note: you can dry ''any'' plant, and smoking it will give you all chemicals that were in it. You can smoke dried apples if you want, and get nutriment from them.

===[[File:Wooden_barrel.png]] Fermentation Barrel===
You can craft wooden barrels with the crafting menu (under tribal), which requires 30 wood planks [[File:Planks.png]]. Clicking it will toggle it between open and closed. When open you can insert plants or liquid. When closed you can draw liquid by using a container on it. 
Inserting a plant into the barrel will ferment the plant after a few seconds (even if not closing it). This will grind the plant, adding all the plant's contained reagents to the barrel. But it can also add an additional reagent depending on plant used. Most plants will create a special [[Guide_to_food_and_drinks#Wine|wine]] with varied boozepower depending on plant used. Some plants will create other reagents than wine, and some plants will not work at all.
===Things You Can Make Out of Your Plants===
*Add some cable to a potato to make a potato battery. Botany cells have potential to be better than bluespace cells.
* Glowberries and glowshrooms, as the name suggests, glow.
*You can carve a pumpkin with a hatchet. Carved pumpkins can be worn and you can toggle them to emit a weak light.
*You can make a cob-pipe out of a corn cob.
*You can carve a carrot with a hatchet to make a shiv. It's not very strong but it's good at slicing things.
*Flowers and ambrosia can be worn on your head.
* Add dried ambrosia, wheat, tea aspera tips or tobacco leaves to a tower cap log to make a torch.
*Dried ambrosia, tobacco or any mutations of those are able to be smoked from wrapping paper, found in smoking vending machines. You can also grind them and put the liquid in an e-cig.
==Todo list for this guide==
*Add missing/fix outdated entries in the plant reference chart
*Add some icons and pictures to break up the wall of text
==Another guide==
Since Botany is relatively easy to learn but hard to master, here is an extra guide that focuses on a more practical, step-by-step point of view.
Also includes a lot of extra "recipes" for what you can turn your plants into.

Guide to hydroponics

Wrill: Green bioluminescence for omega weed, purple for moonflower.

[[File:Hydroponics.png|frame|right|Hydroponics. This is your home.]]
== Basics of Botany ==
[[Hydroponics]] and the [[Botanist]]s who work there are important to the station, especially in longer rounds. Botanists grow plants that the [[Chef]] can use for food. Without botany, the station will have to live off of beef jerky and space twinkies, or starve to death.
=== Your Area ===
Hydroponics is divided into two rooms. The big section is where you'll spend most of your time growing goods. Trays are available where you grow plants and two vending machines, one with seeds and the other with miscellaneous items such as nutrients and tools for your job. The bio-generator can be used to grind plants and produce things for the station. In tandem is the seed dispenser used to reproduce your product. The northern area is where you can grab most of the equipment needed to work in botany.

Plants require nutrients (fertilizer) and water to grow. They are also bothered by pests and weeds. 
Trays come equipped with lights that flash specific colors to tell you what's happening with your plant.

From left to right -
* '''Green''': Ready to harvest.
* '''Red''': Low health, caused by weeds/pests/toxins/end of lifespan.
* '''Orange''': High weed level.
* '''Yellow''': Low nutrients.
* '''Blue''': Low water.
Tools that are of use in botany -
* {{anchor|Plant_Analyzer}}'''Plant Analyzer''': Shows detailed detailed plant statistics. Very useful for growing fragile plants like Ambrosia Deus.
* {{anchor|Cultivator}}'''Cultivator''': Kills Weeds.
* '''Plant Bag''': Collects up to 50 items or 100 seeds from your harvest. Useful for moving those into the fridge or biogenerator.
* '''Wrench''': Used to move your trays around.
* '''Wirecutters''': Used to set up the irrigation system. If 30u or more of water is put into trays while the irrigation is set up, water will be shared across trays. This will also distribute things like mutagen and plant killer.
* {{anchor|Hatchet}}'''Hatchet''': Chops tower-caps into planks, chops other things. This is also a robust tool that fits in pockets.
* {{anchor|Shovel}}'''Shovel''': Digs up grass floors and cleans dirt.
* {{anchor|Spade}}'''Spade''': Removes and destroys plants in a tray.
* '''All-In-One Grinder''': This is how you extract reagents from plants - throw them in and hit the "grind" button.
* '''Portable Seed Extractor''': This can harvest and pick up plants and turn up to 100 plants into seeds. Less efficient than the machine.

Take some seeds from the vendor and put them into the trays. Now, take a look at the tray with a plant analyzer. For now, you only need to pay attention to the bottom five stats - '''Water/Nutrition''' and '''Weeds/Toxic/Pest''' levels. 
Now, fill a bucket from the water tank and grab fertilizer from the vending machine. You get rid of weeds with the cultivator and remove pests with pest spray. [[Chemistry]] can give you better chemicals for this, which will be explained later in the guide. 
Some plants have a varied growth times, such as wheat growing faster while watermelons or apple trees take a little longer before you can harvest from them. 
Once your tray flashes green, you're set to harvest. If you want to replicate the plant to continue growing more, just insert it into the seed extractor. 
You can click seeds with a pen to change the name of the plant, the seed's description, or the plant's description. After planting in a hydroponics tray the tray updates with the name and description of the plant inside it.
=== [[File:Biogenerator.gif|Bio-generator]] Biogenerator ===
The Biogenerator makes items out of the nutriment in plants. As a rule of thumb: More nutriment = more biomass. Watermelons and pumpkins are commonly used due to their 20% nutriment boost [[#Traits|trait]]. 
To get biomass, grab a spare bucket and equip the machine with it, then use the plant bag to put fruits inside. 
If you somehow run out of fertilizer in the vendors, remember you can print the three standard fertilizers here. Keep in mind that you can craft a whole bunch of useful items from the leather/cloth sheets the biogenerator creates.
=== [[File:plant dna manip.gif]]DNA Extractor ===
The DNA extractor allows you to extract and modify seed stats and [[#Traits|traits]]. This machine is what lets you become a [[Chemist]] on speed.

This is a little complex, so look at: [[Guide_to_hydroponics#Advanced_Botany|Advanced Botany]]
== Stats, reagents and traits ==
Three things determine how your plant will turn out: Their '''stats''', '''reagents''' and '''[[#Traits|traits]]'''.
=== Stats ===
Stats determine whether your plants are small and grow slowly, or are big and fast-growing.
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed">
Click expand to see what stats do:
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
* '''Potency''': The most important stat (0 to 100). This affects the amount of chemicals in the plant, though some have additional effects, such as stun length for bananas. 
To get the amount of a given chemical in a plant, multiply the reagent in the chart by the potency: for example, 10% nutriment will be 5 nutriment at 50 potency.
* '''Yield''': How much product you get each harvest. Between 0 and 10. Pay attention to this, because if it drops to 0, you won't harvest anything.
* '''Production Speed''': How fast your plant reaches harvest. Between 1 and 10 -- the '''lower''' the faster. The plant has to wait (Production Speed) age cycles before each harvest.
* '''Maturation Speed''': Age cycles before the plant can start production. The first harvest will be (Maturation Speed + Production Speed).
* '''Lifespan''': When the age is above lifespan, the plant starts losing health. Between 10 and 100. Only important for plants with the Perennial Growth [[#Traits|trait]].
* '''Age''': Age of the plant. Only relevant in terms of the lifespan stat.
* '''Endurance''': Max health. Between 10 and 100. Not very useful, unless you leave your garden often.
* '''Weed growth rate''': Determines how quickly weeds grow in the plant tray. Only relevant with very high values.
* '''Weed vulnerability''': The higher, the more easily a plant is overtaken by weeds. Only relevant with very high values.

=== Reagents/Content ===
This determines what chemicals are present in a grown plant - the [[Guide_to_hydroponics#Advanced_Botany|DNA extractor]] lets you extract and splice these. 
With a bit of creativity, you can mix your own mutagen, produce unique healing chemicals or turn tomatoes into napalm grenades. Solid [[Guide_to_chemistry|Chemistry]] knowledge will help you out immensely. 
For a detailed list, check out: [[Guide_to_hydroponics#Plant reference chart|Plant reference chart]]
=== Traits ===
Traits give your plants unique properties. There are plenty - Perennial Growth for example lets you harvest plants multiple times. 
These can be transferred, just like reagents.

|Plants with this trait will sting when thrown (or slipped on with Liquid Contents), transferring a portion of their chemicals to the target.
|-
!{{anchor|Invasive Spreading}}Invasive Spreading
|Plants with this trait will invade adjacent trays and destroy other plants growing there. Will not overwrite plants of the same species.
|-
!{{anchor|Liquid Contents}}Liquid Contents
|Causes the plant to squash when thrown or slipped on (Slippery Skin), applying the reagents inside on the target and destroying the plant.
|-
!{{anchor|Perennial Growth}}Perennial Growth
|Plants with this trait don't die on harvest (and can be harvested multiple times).
|-
!{{anchor|Slippery Skin}}Slippery Skin
|Causes the plant, or any products of the plant, to become slippery. The stun time is (Potency * 0.08), divided by 3 unless the plant has lube or is a banana. Maximum stun is 7 seconds. Triggers Hypodermic Prickes and Liquid Contents when combined with them.
|-
!{{anchor|Weed Adaptation}}Weed Adaptation
|The plant acquires weed-like properties, removing the need for nutrients. Plant growth doesn't get slowed by weeds and the tray can't be overtaken by them.

==[[File:Vendnutri.gif]] Chemicals==
A lot of chemicals influence plants - get these from the vending machine, [[Chemistry]] or by growing your own!
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-uncollapsed">
Click expand to see a list of chemicals:
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
===Fertilizers ===
*Nutriment: A fertilizer that adds 1 nutrient to the tray and heals the plant 0.5 health per unit added. You can get it by putting your plants and regular food in the grinder.
*[[Ammonia]]: Similar to nutriment, but also increases yield (25u to increase 1 yield). Get it from the [[Chemist]] or hack the Nutri-Vend to get this.
*[[Diethylamine]]: Adds 2 nutrient to the tray, heals the plant 1 health per unit added and increases yield (50u to increase 1 yield). Also kills pests. Get it the same way you get Ammonia.
* Saltpetre: Heals your plant, increases potency and decreases production time. Doesn't add nutrient to the tray.
*Robust Harvest: Adds 1 nutrient to the tray per unit, and permanently increases plant yield of the tray 30% (without mutating the plant). Doesn't work on plants with 0 yield. A tray can only have the modifiers of one of the three special fertilizers at a time (Robust Harvest, E-Z-Nutrient and Left 4 Zed).
===Pest Removal===
* Pest Killer: Kills pests, and adds a small amount of toxicity.
*Weed Killer: Same as above, but for Weeds.
===Mutation===
*E-Z-Nutrient: Makes your plant mutate once every time it's ready for harvesting, and resets the tray's yield modifier to x1 (if another special fertilizer had previously been used on the tray). A tray can only have the modifiers of one of the three special fertilizers at a time (Robust Harvest, E-Z-Nutrient and Left 4 Zed).
*Left 4 Zed: Makes your plant mutate twice, but the yield will permanently be 1 at best. If the plant's yield is 0, then nothing is produced! You'll have to use another mutagen to harvest the normal yield of the plant. A tray can only have the modifiers of one of the three special fertilizers at a time (Robust Harvest, E-Z-Nutrient and Left 4 Zed).
*[[Unstable Mutagen]]: Used to randomly mutate plants - 5u for a chance to change the plant type, 1u/2u to only change stats.
*Radium and Uranium: Also usable for mutation (10u for plant type, 2u/5u for stats), but damages plants and adds toxicity. Radium is more damaging.
===Plant Meds===
*[[Ash]]: Adds 0.5 nutrient to the tray, heals the plant 0.25 health per unit added and kills weeds.
*[[Guide_to_chemistry#Multiver|charcoal]]: Makes your plant less toxic. You can get it by whining to anyone who works in [[Medbay]].
*[[Cryoxadone]]: Heals your plant, via <s>miracles</s> science. Also lowers toxicity. Don't expect the [[Chemist]] to give this to you, but the medbay probably has extra beakers of this.
*Holy water: If you can get the [[Chaplain]]'s attention and make him bless your water, it will heal your plant a bit.
===Unorthodox chemicals===
*Soda Water: Mostly adds water, but also heals the plant and adds nutrient to the tray by a tiny amount.
*Milk: Adds some water and a tiny but of nutrient to the tray.
*Beer: Adds a bit of water and nutrient to the tray, but damages the plant a little.
*Blood: Feeds both your plant and pests.
*Virus Food: Adds nutrient to the tray while damaging the plant.
*Nicotine: Kills pests while adding toxicity.
===The bad stuff===
*Sugar: Makes pests and weeds grow stronger. Unless you [[Traitor|plan to use unstable mutagen to unleash giant spiders or Kudzu upon the station]], it's of no use.
* Toxin: Increases toxicity. Good job!
* Plant-B-Gone, Sulphuric Acid, Fluorosulfuric Acid: Damages the plant, adds toxicity and kills weeds. What do you think would happen?
* Fluorine, Chlorine: Same as above, but also drains water.
*Phosphorus: Same as Flourine/Chlorine, but adds nutrients to the tray instead of toxicity. Just use a spade.
*Napalm: Kills weeds, hurts plant and adds toxicity. This is just going downhill. Unless your plant has the fireproof [[#Traits|trait]], you might as well space the whole tray. On fireproof plants it will just kill weeds.
*[[Guide_to_chemistry#Strange_Reagent|Strange Reagent]]: Is supposed to spawn hostile plant creatures but currently doesn't work.

==[[File:Apiary.png|Beekeeping]] [[Beekeeping]]==
Bees greatly increase plant yield, potency and the probability of you getting lynched. Great stuff, and very useful even if you're no traitor!

[[File:Bee.gif]] [[Beekeeping|For more info, click here for the guide on beepeeking.]] [[File:Bee.gif]]

== Advanced Botany==
This is where you get to PLAY GOD and mess with the stats, reagents and [[#Traits|traits]] of plants. 
===Using the DNA manipulator ===
1. Go to the locker in the back and take out the box of plant data disks. 
2. Load a disk into the machine along with any seed of choice. 
3. Extract any gene, this will destroy the seed and save it to the disk. 
4. Put in another seed. 
5. You can now modify the seed's stats and genes based on what's on the plant data disk. 
Obviously, this can be quite powerful in the right hands, and even for more basic tasks it can be a major boon.

It is worth noting, however, that the DNA manipulator has an upper limit on how high a stat can be when you try to extract it and save it to disk, and any stats higher than that will be brought down to that cap. Though these caps can be lowered or eliminated if you can get RnD to upgrade your machine, at round-start the caps are very bad, with certain stats like production speed being capped at a level worse than what nearly every plant has initially. [[#Traits|Traits]], on the other hand, can be extracted just fine no matter what parts are used.

Useful genes from default seeds:
*Wheat has a production speed of 1, the fastest possible.
*Tower-caps have very long lifespans (around 80), as well as potency and endurance stats of 50.
*Tobacco plants have a yield of 10, the cap for that stat.
*Apples have the perennial growth [[#Traits|trait]], which allows for you to get multiple harvests from a single plant.
*Watermelon has an endurance nearly on par with tower-caps, making it a good substitute when starting out so you can avoid using up all of your starting tower-cap seeds.
Some genes are unextractable.
 
===Mutations===
You can mutate plants to A) change stats or B) mutate them into a different subspecies. To do this in a timely manner, you'll need to work with the [[Chemistry]] department.
*The agonizingly slow way is using '''E-Z Nutriment''' to make the plant mutate once every time it's ready to harvest. '''Left 4 Zed''' makes it mutate twice, but kills the yield!

*You can speed up the process to bearable levels by asking your local [[Chemist]] for a few bottles of '''[[Guide_to_chemistry#Unstable Mutagen|Unstable Mutagen]]'''. 
Pour 5 units on your plant and prepare for...
*10% chance of '''mutation into a related species'''. This destroys the old plant and plants a new one. See the [[Guide_to_hydroponics#Plant reference chart|Plant reference chart]] for information on these mutations.
* 10% chance of the '''plant losing lots of health instantly'''. The plant can die because of this
*15% chance of '''heavy stat mutation''' with a 3% chance of a new [[#Traits|trait]] appearing.
*15% chance of '''normal stat mutation'''.
*20% chance of '''nothing'''. You get a message when this happens.
*10% chance of '''weeds mutating'''. If weed level is less than 5, nothing happens, otherwise you get a random, special mutated weed (Kudzu, Deathnettle, Destroying Angel, Liberty Cap).
*10% chance of '''pests mutating'''. Again, if pest level is less than 5, nothing happens. Otherwise, spiderlings are spawned.
** This is '''bad'''. If the spiderlings escape, they'll grow big and you'll likely get lynched.
Or, if you don't want to bother with species mutation, pour 2 units for a guaranteed heavy stat mutation with a 3% chance of a new [[#Traits|trait]] appearing, or even 1 for a guaranteed normal stat mutation. This method is safe even if you don't have backup seeds, and you can use a bottle for it.
*You can use '''radium''' and '''uranium''', but they cause ill effects, and if you can get radium, you can get mutagen.

*R&D can also research a wonderful thing called a '''Floral Somatoray'''. It has two options: increase yield and mutate the plant. In yield more mode, every time you fire it at the plant, there is a chance the yield will increase. The chance becomes very small when you reach high levels, but it's very useful for low-yield plants. It can even raise yield from zero! In mutation mode, it will always induce a normal stat mutation.
===Fixing awful stats===
Mutating plants has a chance of really ruining stats. Luckily, there are a few ways to fix them:
*Unstable Mutagen. Using 1u slightly changes stats, 2u has more drastic effects.
* Saltpetre. Increases potency and decreases production time.
*Ammonia. Increases yield.
*Floral Somatoray. Increases yield and works as a substitute for Unstable Mutagen.
===Dude weeds ===
Trays, whether empty or occupied by plants, can be occasionally overtaken by a weed if their level is 5 or more. In that case the old plant is destroyed, and a new one will sprout in its place.

Possible plants include:
*1/6 chance for Reishi/Starshittle.
*1/9 chance for Nettle/Harebell/Amanita/Chanterelle/Tower Cap/Plump Helmets
Using 5u of unstable mutagen on high weed level trays results in different plants:
*Kudzu, Deathnettle, Destroying Angel, Liberty Cap
==Other Notes==

===[[file:Bottle.png]] Growing your own mutagen===
Not robust enough to steal a chem dispenser? Try this out.
*First, plant pumpkins and mutate them into blumpkins.
*Now, insert their Chlorine production [[#Traits|trait]] into glowshrooms and remove the Nutriment one.
*That's it! You now have a plant that grows unstable mutagen - just pop the produce into the grinder.
*You might want to add Densified Chemicals from Redbeets as well as Perennial Growth to optimize your harvest.
===[[File:Dispenser.png]] Other ways to mutagen===
Chemistry is <s>busy curing the plague</s> too high to help you out?
*<s>Bad idea: Steal a chem dispenser. This will start a blood feud and is one of the biggest reasons why Botanists are hated by some. Think of it as someone stealing all your plant trays.</s>
*<s>Better: Ask Medbay to print you a spare chem dispenser board. After very basic research (Biological Technology), the medical protolathe is able to print chem dispenser boards.</s>
*<s>Or: Grab the spare chem dispenser board from tech storage. The AI, silicons and all members of the Engineering department can let you in.</s>
*<s>For stock parts: Print them from a public autolathe (if such has been built) or ask RnD/Engineering for a part replacer with stock parts. The parts are: 2 matter bins, 1 capacitor, 1 micro-manipulator, 1 power cell, 1 glass sheet. </s>
*<s>For stock parts you can also disassemble a hydroponics tray and a cell charger. A cell can then be found or gotten from disassembling a cyborg recharger.</s>
*Just use your Minor Botanical Chem Dispenser. It can give you mutagen, saltpetre and water roundstart and with t4 parts you can get plantbgone, weedkiller, pestkiller and diethylamine.
===[[file:Ambrosia_gaia.png]] Upgrading plant trays===
Composting enough plants that contain Earthsblood (20 units from plants like [[#Ambrosia gaia|Ambrosia Gaia]]) into a tray will give it a golden shine. Now it will no longer require water, fertilizer or weed/pest removal.

This is great in combination with plants that have the Perennial Growth [[#Traits|trait]]! A lot of Botanists will upgrade their trays before getting started with actual hydroponics.

Upgraded trays permanently contain the last fertilizer you used before the upgrade. Robust Harvest is usually the best choice.

Instead of keeping the original Gaia plant that most likely has gimped stats - insert the Earthsblood production [[#Traits|trait]] into a more robust plant.

If your DNA extractor hasn't been upgraded yet: Wheat has a production speed of 1 and good overall stats. If you're lucky, your station will have 50 potency Wheat bushels just lying around at roundstart.

You can speed up the process by removing all contents but Earthsblood production and adding the Densified Chemicals (Redbeet) [[#Traits|trait]].
===[[file:Replicapodplant.png]] Replica Pod Cloning===
Replica pods can be used to grow dead people back to life - even when their brain and head are missing.

To clone someone, follow these simple steps:
*Take a blood sample from the body using a syringe.
*Inject it into the bag of seeds.
*Plant the seeds.
*Let the plant grow and then harvest it.
* If the ghost of the corpse is still online, and did not turn on "Do not Resuscitate", that person will be cloned as a [[Podman]].
*If there was no ghost available, the resulting harvest will simply produce a new pack of seeds.
The [[Podman|podmen]] are a little different from normal humans. E.g. they regenerate in light but suffer in darkness and don't get attacked by bees.

Cabbage can be mutated into Replica Pod.
===Strange Seeds===
Strange seeds (from hacked vendors or cargo crates) have completely random reagents and [[#Traits|traits]].

Notable examples are:
* Gaseous Decomposition
*Nitroglycerin
*Microbes (Fungal Tuberculosis)
*Any drink, like Gin Tonic or Beepsky Smash
*Glitter
*Plasmaman Mutation Toxin
*Hell Water
Of course, this is pretty gimmicky and unreliable.
===[[file:Kudzuplant.png]] Kudzu {{anchor|Kudzu}}===
Kudzu is a weed that can appear when adding 5u [[Guide_to_chemistry#Unstable Mutagen|Unstable Mutagen]] to a tray with a weed level of 5 or above. The tray version of kudzu will grow normally in its tray. When harvested it will produce kudzu pods [[File:Kudzu.png]]. The kudzu pod is like any other fruit/vegetable and can be eaten or grinded. To create wild-spreading kudzu, you must put a kudzu pod into a seed extractor, which will create packs of kudzu seeds [[File:Kudzuseed.png]]. Then activate a kudzu seed in your hand to start planting wild-spreading kudzu on the floor. 
Some plant stats will affect the wild-spreading version of kudzu in specific ways:
*Potency of the seed will make kudzu mutate more on spread, the chance to mutate on each new piece is '''[potency / 10]'''
*Production will affect how fast the kudzu can spread, usual kudzu spreads at a rate of 20% of the amount of pieces per tick but no more than 30, production changes the cap '''[30 * production / 50]''' and the percent of processed pieces per tick '''[20 * (production / 50)]'''
Killing the last piece of kudzu will create a kudzu seed in its place with all the ackumulated mutations saved in the seed. So if you reactivate it, the new kudzu on the floor will have all the same mutations the seed had, and will spread it to all its progenitors. You can examine a wild kudzu to see what mutations it has. When mutating it typically changes color. 
Kudzu can gain mutations only on spread, here is the list of all of them:
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed">
Click expand to see Kudzu [[#Traits|traits]] and mutations:
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
*'''CO2 consumption''' - ''positive'' mutation, consumes CO2 from the air
*<s>'''Space covering''' - ''positive'' mutation, makes vines grow vine floors over space</s> Removed as of August 23 2017.
*'''Light''' - ''positive'' mutation, about 40% of the vines with this mutation emit light slightly more powerful than PDA
*'''Transparency''' - ''positive'' mutation, makes vines look-through
*'''Toxins consumption''' - ''positive'' mutation, absorbs plasma from the air
*<s>'''Bluespace vines''' - ''minor negative'' mutation, makes vines be able to grow through anything</s> Removed as of August 23 2017.
*'''Explosive''' - ''minor negative'' mutation, on death vines with this mutation explode with 0,0,2 power, so clusters of this vine will chain-explode one after another
*'''Fire resistant''' - ''minor negative'' mutation, makes vines ignore fire damage, be it plasma fires or welders
*'''Vine eating''' - ''minor negative'' mutation, vines with this mutation will eat vines without it
*'''Toxicity''' - ''negative'' mutation, eating vine with this mutation or walking thought it will cause you toxin damage
*'''Aggressive spreading''' - ''negative'' mutation, on spreading vines will cause effect of mini-explosion on the tile they spread to, mobs buckled by this vine will also experience effects akin to minor explosion
*'''O2 consumption''' - ''negative'' mutation, absorbs O2 from the air around
*'''N2 consumption''' - ''negative'' mutation, absorbs N2 from the air
*'''Thorns''' - ''negative'' mutation, makes mobs touching or going through vines recieve physical damage
*'''Hardening''' - ''negative'' mutation, makes vines not die fast from sharp objects, but makes non-sharp objects(hands included) be more effective agaisnt them, on the full maturation block the passage
*'''Flowering''' - ''negative'' mutation, makes vines very entangly and spawns harmful flowers occasionally, flowers after destruction spawn flower mob that is agressive and attacks

Adding special chemicals to the tray when the seeds are growing will affect the specific kudzu mutations:
*Adding ''5u'' of '''welding fuel''' will remove random ''positive'' mutation with a ''20%'' probability
*Adding ''5u'' of '''phenol''' will remove a random ''minor negative'' mutation with a ''20%'' probability
*Adding ''5u'' of '''sterilizine''' will remove a random ''negative'' mutation with a ''20%'' probability
* Adding ''15u'' of '''blood''' will change the production value of the seeds by a random number in the range from ''-5 to +15''
*Adding ''5u'' of '''amatoxin''' will change the production value of the seeds by a random number in the range from ''-15 to +5''
*Adding ''5u'' of '''plasma''' will change the potency value of the seeds by a random number in the range from ''-15 to +5''
*Adding ''10u'' of '''holy water''' will change a potency value of the seeds by a random number in the range from ''-5 to +15''

===Sandstone and Soil===
If you pick up the grass and use it (click on it in your hand), you will prepare astroturf. Get a crowbar and remove some floor tiles, then place astroturf in their place. In addition to looking nice, it can be used to get some sand. Just dig it with your spade and you'll get two piles. Now, pick up the sand and use it; you will make a sandstone brick. Using three bricks, you can make a soil plot, which is like a tray, except you can walk over it and there are no lights. You can also build a sandstone door with 10 bricks.

Science can [[Guide_to_advanced_construction#Hydroponics_Tray|build]] hydroponics trays. They can also upgrade them by replacing the matter bins, and this increases the water and nutrient capacity of the tray.
===Wood and Drying Racks===
First you need to get some tower-caps, grow them and harvest them. You can then use hatchet (and some other things, but it's not important) on the logs to chop some planks. They have many uses: you can make chairs, tables, wooden floors and so on. A unique thing here is a drying rack. You can use it to dry a plant, and then smoke it. First, build a rack with 10 planks. Then, grab a plant you want to dry and put it in the rack. Click on the rack and toggle drying so that the red arrows light up. Give it a few seconds and it's done.

Note: you can dry ''any'' plant, and smoking it will give you all chemicals that were in it. You can smoke dried apples if you want, and get nutriment from them.

===[[File:Wooden_barrel.png]] Fermentation Barrel===
You can craft wooden barrels with the crafting menu (under tribal), which requires 30 wood planks [[File:Planks.png]]. Clicking it will toggle it between open and closed. When open you can insert plants or liquid. When closed you can draw liquid by using a container on it. 
Inserting a plant into the barrel will ferment the plant after a few seconds (even if not closing it). This will grind the plant, adding all the plant's contained reagents to the barrel. But it can also add an additional reagent depending on plant used. Most plants will create a special [[Guide_to_food_and_drinks#Wine|wine]] with varied boozepower depending on plant used. Some plants will create other reagents than wine, and some plants will not work at all.
===Things You Can Make Out of Your Plants===
*Add some cable to a potato to make a potato battery. Botany cells have potential to be better than bluespace cells.
* Glowberries and glowshrooms, as the name suggests, glow.
*You can carve a pumpkin with a hatchet. Carved pumpkins can be worn and you can toggle them to emit a weak light.
*You can make a cob-pipe out of a corn cob.
*You can carve a carrot with a hatchet to make a shiv. It's not very strong but it's good at slicing things.
*Flowers and ambrosia can be worn on your head.
* Add dried ambrosia, wheat, tea aspera tips or tobacco leaves to a tower cap log to make a torch.
*Dried ambrosia, tobacco or any mutations of those are able to be smoked from wrapping paper, found in smoking vending machines. You can also grind them and put the liquid in an e-cig.
==Todo list for this guide==
*Add missing/fix outdated entries in the plant reference chart
*Add some icons and pictures to break up the wall of text
==Another guide==
Since Botany is relatively easy to learn but hard to master, here is an extra guide that focuses on a more practical, step-by-step point of view.
Also includes a lot of extra "recipes" for what you can turn your plants into.

Guide to hydroponics

2023-01-17T17:42:21Z

Wrill: gaseous decomp is obtainable by mutating plants

[[File:Hydroponics.png|frame|right|Hydroponics. This is your home.]]
== Basics of Botany ==
[[Hydroponics]] and the [[Botanist]]s who work there are important to the station, especially in longer rounds. Botanists grow plants that the [[Chef]] can use for food. Without botany, the station will have to live off of beef jerky and space twinkies, or starve to death.
=== Your Area ===
Hydroponics is divided into two rooms. The big section is where you'll spend most of your time growing goods. Trays are available where you grow plants and two vending machines, one with seeds and the other with miscellaneous items such as nutrients and tools for your job. The bio-generator can be used to grind plants and produce things for the station. In tandem is the seed dispenser used to reproduce your product. The northern area is where you can grab most of the equipment needed to work in botany.

Plants require nutrients (fertilizer) and water to grow. They are also bothered by pests and weeds. 
Trays come equipped with lights that flash specific colors to tell you what's happening with your plant.

From left to right -
* '''Green''': Ready to harvest.
* '''Red''': Low health, caused by weeds/pests/toxins/end of lifespan.
* '''Orange''': High weed level.
* '''Yellow''': Low nutrients.
* '''Blue''': Low water.
Tools that are of use in botany -
* {{anchor|Plant_Analyzer}}'''Plant Analyzer''': Shows detailed detailed plant statistics. Very useful for growing fragile plants like Ambrosia Deus.
* {{anchor|Cultivator}}'''Cultivator''': Kills Weeds.
* '''Plant Bag''': Collects up to 50 items or 100 seeds from your harvest. Useful for moving those into the fridge or biogenerator.
* '''Wrench''': Used to move your trays around.
* '''Wirecutters''': Used to set up the irrigation system. If 30u or more of water is put into trays while the irrigation is set up, water will be shared across trays. This will also distribute things like mutagen and plant killer.
* {{anchor|Hatchet}}'''Hatchet''': Chops tower-caps into planks, chops other things. This is also a robust tool that fits in pockets.
* {{anchor|Shovel}}'''Shovel''': Digs up grass floors and cleans dirt.
* {{anchor|Spade}}'''Spade''': Removes and destroys plants in a tray.
* '''All-In-One Grinder''': This is how you extract reagents from plants - throw them in and hit the "grind" button.
* '''Portable Seed Extractor''': This can harvest and pick up plants and turn up to 100 plants into seeds. Less efficient than the machine.
=== [[File:Seed_Extractor.gif|Seed Extractor]] Plant growing 101 ===
Take some seeds from the vendor and put them into the trays. Now, take a look at the tray with a plant analyzer. For now, you only need to pay attention to the bottom five stats - '''Water/Nutrition''' and '''Weeds/Toxic/Pest''' levels. 
Now, fill a bucket from the water tank and grab fertilizer from the vending machine. You get rid of weeds with the cultivator and remove pests with pest spray. [[Chemistry]] can give you better chemicals for this, which will be explained later in the guide. 
Some plants have a varied growth times, such as wheat growing faster while watermelons or apple trees take a little longer before you can harvest from them. 
Once your tray flashes green, you're set to harvest. If you want to replicate the plant to continue growing more, just insert it into the seed extractor. 
You can click seeds with a pen to change the name of the plant, the seed's description, or the plant's description. After planting in a hydroponics tray the tray updates with the name and description of the plant inside it.
=== [[File:Biogenerator.gif|Bio-generator]] Biogenerator ===
The Biogenerator makes items out of the nutriment in plants. As a rule of thumb: More nutriment = more biomass. Watermelons and pumpkins are commonly used due to their 20% nutriment boost [[#Traits|trait]]. 
To get biomass, grab a spare bucket and equip the machine with it, then use the plant bag to put fruits inside. 
If you somehow run out of fertilizer in the vendors, remember you can print the three standard fertilizers here. Keep in mind that you can craft a whole bunch of useful items from the leather/cloth sheets the biogenerator creates.
=== [[File:plant dna manip.gif]]DNA Extractor ===
The DNA extractor allows you to extract and modify seed stats and [[#Traits|traits]]. This machine is what lets you become a [[Chemist]] on speed.

This is a little complex, so look at: [[Guide_to_hydroponics#Advanced_Botany|Advanced Botany]]
== Stats, reagents and traits ==
Three things determine how your plant will turn out: Their '''stats''', '''reagents''' and '''[[#Traits|traits]]'''.
=== Stats ===
Stats determine whether your plants are small and grow slowly, or are big and fast-growing.
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed">
Click expand to see what stats do:
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
* '''Potency''': The most important stat (0 to 100). This affects the amount of chemicals in the plant, though some have additional effects, such as stun length for bananas. 
To get the amount of a given chemical in a plant, multiply the reagent in the chart by the potency: for example, 10% nutriment will be 5 nutriment at 50 potency.
* '''Yield''': How much product you get each harvest. Between 0 and 10. Pay attention to this, because if it drops to 0, you won't harvest anything.
* '''Production Speed''': How fast your plant reaches harvest. Between 1 and 10 -- the '''lower''' the faster. The plant has to wait (Production Speed) age cycles before each harvest.
* '''Maturation Speed''': Age cycles before the plant can start production. The first harvest will be (Maturation Speed + Production Speed).
* '''Lifespan''': When the age is above lifespan, the plant starts losing health. Between 10 and 100. Only important for plants with the Perennial Growth [[#Traits|trait]].
* '''Age''': Age of the plant. Only relevant in terms of the lifespan stat.
* '''Endurance''': Max health. Between 10 and 100. Not very useful, unless you leave your garden often.
* '''Weed growth rate''': Determines how quickly weeds grow in the plant tray. Only relevant with very high values.
* '''Weed vulnerability''': The higher, the more easily a plant is overtaken by weeds. Only relevant with very high values.
</div>
</div>
=== Reagents/Content ===
This determines what chemicals are present in a grown plant - the [[Guide_to_hydroponics#Advanced_Botany|DNA extractor]] lets you extract and splice these. 
With a bit of creativity, you can mix your own mutagen, produce unique healing chemicals or turn tomatoes into napalm grenades. Solid [[Guide_to_chemistry|Chemistry]] knowledge will help you out immensely. 
For a detailed list, check out: [[Guide_to_hydroponics#Plant reference chart|Plant reference chart]]
=== Traits ===
Traits give your plants unique properties. There are plenty - Perennial Growth for example lets you harvest plants multiple times. 
These can be transferred, just like reagents.

==[[File:Vendnutri.gif]] Chemicals==
A lot of chemicals influence plants - get these from the vending machine, [[Chemistry]] or by growing your own!
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-uncollapsed">
Click expand to see a list of chemicals:
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
===Fertilizers ===
*Nutriment: A fertilizer that adds 1 nutrient to the tray and heals the plant 0.5 health per unit added. You can get it by putting your plants and regular food in the grinder.
*[[Ammonia]]: Similar to nutriment, but also increases yield (25u to increase 1 yield). Get it from the [[Chemist]] or hack the Nutri-Vend to get this.
*[[Diethylamine]]: Adds 2 nutrient to the tray, heals the plant 1 health per unit added and increases yield (50u to increase 1 yield). Also kills pests. Get it the same way you get Ammonia.
* Saltpetre: Heals your plant, increases potency and decreases production time. Doesn't add nutrient to the tray.
*Robust Harvest: Adds 1 nutrient to the tray per unit, and permanently increases plant yield of the tray 30% (without mutating the plant). Doesn't work on plants with 0 yield. A tray can only have the modifiers of one of the three special fertilizers at a time (Robust Harvest, E-Z-Nutrient and Left 4 Zed).
===Pest Removal===
* Pest Killer: Kills pests, and adds a small amount of toxicity.
*Weed Killer: Same as above, but for Weeds.
===Mutation===
*E-Z-Nutrient: Makes your plant mutate once every time it's ready for harvesting, and resets the tray's yield modifier to x1 (if another special fertilizer had previously been used on the tray). A tray can only have the modifiers of one of the three special fertilizers at a time (Robust Harvest, E-Z-Nutrient and Left 4 Zed).
*Left 4 Zed: Makes your plant mutate twice, but the yield will permanently be 1 at best. If the plant's yield is 0, then nothing is produced! You'll have to use another mutagen to harvest the normal yield of the plant. A tray can only have the modifiers of one of the three special fertilizers at a time (Robust Harvest, E-Z-Nutrient and Left 4 Zed).
*[[Unstable Mutagen]]: Used to randomly mutate plants - 5u for a chance to change the plant type, 1u/2u to only change stats.
*Radium and Uranium: Also usable for mutation (10u for plant type, 2u/5u for stats), but damages plants and adds toxicity. Radium is more damaging.
===Plant Meds===
*[[Ash]]: Adds 0.5 nutrient to the tray, heals the plant 0.25 health per unit added and kills weeds.
*[[Guide_to_chemistry#Multiver|charcoal]]: Makes your plant less toxic. You can get it by whining to anyone who works in [[Medbay]].
*[[Cryoxadone]]: Heals your plant, via <s>miracles</s> science. Also lowers toxicity. Don't expect the [[Chemist]] to give this to you, but the medbay probably has extra beakers of this.
*Holy water: If you can get the [[Chaplain]]'s attention and make him bless your water, it will heal your plant a bit.
===Unorthodox chemicals===
*Soda Water: Mostly adds water, but also heals the plant and adds nutrient to the tray by a tiny amount.
*Milk: Adds some water and a tiny but of nutrient to the tray.
*Beer: Adds a bit of water and nutrient to the tray, but damages the plant a little.
*Blood: Feeds both your plant and pests.
*Virus Food: Adds nutrient to the tray while damaging the plant.
*Nicotine: Kills pests while adding toxicity.
===The bad stuff===
*Sugar: Makes pests and weeds grow stronger. Unless you [[Traitor|plan to use unstable mutagen to unleash giant spiders or Kudzu upon the station]], it's of no use.
* Toxin: Increases toxicity. Good job!
* Plant-B-Gone, Sulphuric Acid, Fluorosulfuric Acid: Damages the plant, adds toxicity and kills weeds. What do you think would happen?
* Fluorine, Chlorine: Same as above, but also drains water.
*Phosphorus: Same as Flourine/Chlorine, but adds nutrients to the tray instead of toxicity. Just use a spade.
*Napalm: Kills weeds, hurts plant and adds toxicity. This is just going downhill. Unless your plant has the fireproof [[#Traits|trait]], you might as well space the whole tray. On fireproof plants it will just kill weeds.
*[[Guide_to_chemistry#Strange_Reagent|Strange Reagent]]: Is supposed to spawn hostile plant creatures but currently doesn't work.
</div>
</div>
==[[File:Apiary.png|Beekeeping]] [[Beekeeping]]==
Bees greatly increase plant yield, potency and the probability of you getting lynched. Great stuff, and very useful even if you're no traitor!

[[File:Bee.gif]] [[Beekeeping|For more info, click here for the guide on beepeeking.]] [[File:Bee.gif]]

== Advanced Botany==
This is where you get to PLAY GOD and mess with the stats, reagents and [[#Traits|traits]] of plants. 
===Using the DNA manipulator ===
1. Go to the locker in the back and take out the box of plant data disks. 
2. Load a disk into the machine along with any seed of choice. 
3. Extract any gene, this will destroy the seed and save it to the disk. 
4. Put in another seed. 
5. You can now modify the seed's stats and genes based on what's on the plant data disk. 
Obviously, this can be quite powerful in the right hands, and even for more basic tasks it can be a major boon.

It is worth noting, however, that the DNA manipulator has an upper limit on how high a stat can be when you try to extract it and save it to disk, and any stats higher than that will be brought down to that cap. Though these caps can be lowered or eliminated if you can get RnD to upgrade your machine, at round-start the caps are very bad, with certain stats like production speed being capped at a level worse than what nearly every plant has initially. [[#Traits|Traits]], on the other hand, can be extracted just fine no matter what parts are used.

Useful genes from default seeds:
*Wheat has a production speed of 1, the fastest possible.
*Tower-caps have very long lifespans (around 80), as well as potency and endurance stats of 50.
*Tobacco plants have a yield of 10, the cap for that stat.
*Apples have the perennial growth [[#Traits|trait]], which allows for you to get multiple harvests from a single plant.
*Watermelon has an endurance nearly on par with tower-caps, making it a good substitute when starting out so you can avoid using up all of your starting tower-cap seeds.
Some genes are unextractable.
 
===Mutations===
You can mutate plants to A) change stats or B) mutate them into a different subspecies. To do this in a timely manner, you'll need to work with the [[Chemistry]] department.
*The agonizingly slow way is using '''E-Z Nutriment''' to make the plant mutate once every time it's ready to harvest. '''Left 4 Zed''' makes it mutate twice, but kills the yield!

*You can speed up the process to bearable levels by asking your local [[Chemist]] for a few bottles of '''[[Guide_to_chemistry#Unstable Mutagen|Unstable Mutagen]]'''. 
Pour 5 units on your plant and prepare for...
*10% chance of '''mutation into a related species'''. This destroys the old plant and plants a new one. See the [[Guide_to_hydroponics#Plant reference chart|Plant reference chart]] for information on these mutations.
* 10% chance of the '''plant losing lots of health instantly'''. The plant can die because of this
*15% chance of '''heavy stat mutation''' with a 3% chance of a new [[#Traits|trait]] appearing.
*15% chance of '''normal stat mutation'''.
*20% chance of '''nothing'''. You get a message when this happens.
*10% chance of '''weeds mutating'''. If weed level is less than 5, nothing happens, otherwise you get a random, special mutated weed (Kudzu, Deathnettle, Destroying Angel, Liberty Cap).
*10% chance of '''pests mutating'''. Again, if pest level is less than 5, nothing happens. Otherwise, spiderlings are spawned.
** This is '''bad'''. If the spiderlings escape, they'll grow big and you'll likely get lynched.
Or, if you don't want to bother with species mutation, pour 2 units for a guaranteed heavy stat mutation with a 3% chance of a new [[#Traits|trait]] appearing, or even 1 for a guaranteed normal stat mutation. This method is safe even if you don't have backup seeds, and you can use a bottle for it.
*You can use '''radium''' and '''uranium''', but they cause ill effects, and if you can get radium, you can get mutagen.

*R&D can also research a wonderful thing called a '''Floral Somatoray'''. It has two options: increase yield and mutate the plant. In yield more mode, every time you fire it at the plant, there is a chance the yield will increase. The chance becomes very small when you reach high levels, but it's very useful for low-yield plants. It can even raise yield from zero! In mutation mode, it will always induce a normal stat mutation.
===Fixing awful stats===
Mutating plants has a chance of really ruining stats. Luckily, there are a few ways to fix them:
*Unstable Mutagen. Using 1u slightly changes stats, 2u has more drastic effects.
* Saltpetre. Increases potency and decreases production time.
*Ammonia. Increases yield.
*Floral Somatoray. Increases yield and works as a substitute for Unstable Mutagen.
===Dude weeds ===
Trays, whether empty or occupied by plants, can be occasionally overtaken by a weed if their level is 5 or more. In that case the old plant is destroyed, and a new one will sprout in its place.

Possible plants include:
*1/6 chance for Reishi/Starshittle.
*1/9 chance for Nettle/Harebell/Amanita/Chanterelle/Tower Cap/Plump Helmets
Using 5u of unstable mutagen on high weed level trays results in different plants:
*Kudzu, Deathnettle, Destroying Angel, Liberty Cap
==Other Notes==

===[[file:Bottle.png]] Growing your own mutagen===
Not robust enough to steal a chem dispenser? Try this out.
*First, plant pumpkins and mutate them into blumpkins.
*Now, insert their Chlorine production [[#Traits|trait]] into glowshrooms and remove the Nutriment one.
*That's it! You now have a plant that grows unstable mutagen - just pop the produce into the grinder.
*You might want to add Densified Chemicals from Redbeets as well as Perennial Growth to optimize your harvest.
===[[File:Dispenser.png]] Other ways to mutagen===
Chemistry is <s>busy curing the plague</s> too high to help you out?
*<s>Bad idea: Steal a chem dispenser. This will start a blood feud and is one of the biggest reasons why Botanists are hated by some. Think of it as someone stealing all your plant trays.</s>
*<s>Better: Ask Medbay to print you a spare chem dispenser board. After very basic research (Biological Technology), the medical protolathe is able to print chem dispenser boards.</s>
*<s>Or: Grab the spare chem dispenser board from tech storage. The AI, silicons and all members of the Engineering department can let you in.</s>
*<s>For stock parts: Print them from a public autolathe (if such has been built) or ask RnD/Engineering for a part replacer with stock parts. The parts are: 2 matter bins, 1 capacitor, 1 micro-manipulator, 1 power cell, 1 glass sheet. </s>
*<s>For stock parts you can also disassemble a hydroponics tray and a cell charger. A cell can then be found or gotten from disassembling a cyborg recharger.</s>
*Just use your Minor Botanical Chem Dispenser. It can give you mutagen, saltpetre and water roundstart and with t4 parts you can get plantbgone, weedkiller, pestkiller and diethylamine.
===[[file:Ambrosia_gaia.png]] Upgrading plant trays===
Composting enough plants that contain Earthsblood (20 units from plants like [[#Ambrosia gaia|Ambrosia Gaia]]) into a tray will give it a golden shine. Now it will no longer require water, fertilizer or weed/pest removal.

This is great in combination with plants that have the Perennial Growth [[#Traits|trait]]! A lot of Botanists will upgrade their trays before getting started with actual hydroponics.

Upgraded trays permanently contain the last fertilizer you used before the upgrade. Robust Harvest is usually the best choice.

Instead of keeping the original Gaia plant that most likely has gimped stats - insert the Earthsblood production [[#Traits|trait]] into a more robust plant.

If your DNA extractor hasn't been upgraded yet: Wheat has a production speed of 1 and good overall stats. If you're lucky, your station will have 50 potency Wheat bushels just lying around at roundstart.

You can speed up the process by removing all contents but Earthsblood production and adding the Densified Chemicals (Redbeet) [[#Traits|trait]].
===[[file:Replicapodplant.png]] Replica Pod Cloning===
Replica pods can be used to grow dead people back to life - even when their brain and head are missing.

To clone someone, follow these simple steps:
*Take a blood sample from the body using a syringe.
*Inject it into the bag of seeds.
*Plant the seeds.
*Let the plant grow and then harvest it.
* If the ghost of the corpse is still online, and did not turn on "Do not Resuscitate", that person will be cloned as a [[Podman]].
*If there was no ghost available, the resulting harvest will simply produce a new pack of seeds.
The [[Podman|podmen]] are a little different from normal humans. E.g. they regenerate in light but suffer in darkness and don't get attacked by bees.

Cabbage can be mutated into Replica Pod.
===Strange Seeds===
Strange seeds (from hacked vendors or cargo crates) have completely random reagents and [[#Traits|traits]].

Notable examples are:
* Gaseous Decomposition
*Nitroglycerin
*Microbes (Fungal Tuberculosis)
*Any drink, like Gin Tonic or Beepsky Smash
*Glitter
*Plasmaman Mutation Toxin
*Hell Water
Of course, this is pretty gimmicky and unreliable.
===[[file:Kudzuplant.png]] Kudzu {{anchor|Kudzu}}===
Kudzu is a weed that can appear when adding 5u [[Guide_to_chemistry#Unstable Mutagen|Unstable Mutagen]] to a tray with a weed level of 5 or above. The tray version of kudzu will grow normally in its tray. When harvested it will produce kudzu pods [[File:Kudzu.png]]. The kudzu pod is like any other fruit/vegetable and can be eaten or grinded. To create wild-spreading kudzu, you must put a kudzu pod into a seed extractor, which will create packs of kudzu seeds [[File:Kudzuseed.png]]. Then activate a kudzu seed in your hand to start planting wild-spreading kudzu on the floor. 
Some plant stats will affect the wild-spreading version of kudzu in specific ways:
*Potency of the seed will make kudzu mutate more on spread, the chance to mutate on each new piece is '''[potency / 10]'''
*Production will affect how fast the kudzu can spread, usual kudzu spreads at a rate of 20% of the amount of pieces per tick but no more than 30, production changes the cap '''[30 * production / 50]''' and the percent of processed pieces per tick '''[20 * (production / 50)]'''
Killing the last piece of kudzu will create a kudzu seed in its place with all the ackumulated mutations saved in the seed. So if you reactivate it, the new kudzu on the floor will have all the same mutations the seed had, and will spread it to all its progenitors. You can examine a wild kudzu to see what mutations it has. When mutating it typically changes color. 
Kudzu can gain mutations only on spread, here is the list of all of them:
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed">
Click expand to see Kudzu [[#Traits|traits]] and mutations:
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
*'''CO2 consumption''' - ''positive'' mutation, consumes CO2 from the air
*<s>'''Space covering''' - ''positive'' mutation, makes vines grow vine floors over space</s> Removed as of August 23 2017.
*'''Light''' - ''positive'' mutation, about 40% of the vines with this mutation emit light slightly more powerful than PDA
*'''Transparency''' - ''positive'' mutation, makes vines look-through
*'''Toxins consumption''' - ''positive'' mutation, absorbs plasma from the air
*<s>'''Bluespace vines''' - ''minor negative'' mutation, makes vines be able to grow through anything</s> Removed as of August 23 2017.
*'''Explosive''' - ''minor negative'' mutation, on death vines with this mutation explode with 0,0,2 power, so clusters of this vine will chain-explode one after another
*'''Fire resistant''' - ''minor negative'' mutation, makes vines ignore fire damage, be it plasma fires or welders
*'''Vine eating''' - ''minor negative'' mutation, vines with this mutation will eat vines without it
*'''Toxicity''' - ''negative'' mutation, eating vine with this mutation or walking thought it will cause you toxin damage
*'''Aggressive spreading''' - ''negative'' mutation, on spreading vines will cause effect of mini-explosion on the tile they spread to, mobs buckled by this vine will also experience effects akin to minor explosion
*'''O2 consumption''' - ''negative'' mutation, absorbs O2 from the air around
*'''N2 consumption''' - ''negative'' mutation, absorbs N2 from the air
*'''Thorns''' - ''negative'' mutation, makes mobs touching or going through vines recieve physical damage
*'''Hardening''' - ''negative'' mutation, makes vines not die fast from sharp objects, but makes non-sharp objects(hands included) be more effective agaisnt them, on the full maturation block the passage
*'''Flowering''' - ''negative'' mutation, makes vines very entangly and spawns harmful flowers occasionally, flowers after destruction spawn flower mob that is agressive and attacks

Adding special chemicals to the tray when the seeds are growing will affect the specific kudzu mutations:
*Adding ''5u'' of '''welding fuel''' will remove random ''positive'' mutation with a ''20%'' probability
*Adding ''5u'' of '''phenol''' will remove a random ''minor negative'' mutation with a ''20%'' probability
*Adding ''5u'' of '''sterilizine''' will remove a random ''negative'' mutation with a ''20%'' probability
* Adding ''15u'' of '''blood''' will change the production value of the seeds by a random number in the range from ''-5 to +15''
*Adding ''5u'' of '''amatoxin''' will change the production value of the seeds by a random number in the range from ''-15 to +5''
*Adding ''5u'' of '''plasma''' will change the potency value of the seeds by a random number in the range from ''-15 to +5''
*Adding ''10u'' of '''holy water''' will change a potency value of the seeds by a random number in the range from ''-5 to +15''

===Sandstone and Soil===
If you pick up the grass and use it (click on it in your hand), you will prepare astroturf. Get a crowbar and remove some floor tiles, then place astroturf in their place. In addition to looking nice, it can be used to get some sand. Just dig it with your spade and you'll get two piles. Now, pick up the sand and use it; you will make a sandstone brick. Using three bricks, you can make a soil plot, which is like a tray, except you can walk over it and there are no lights. You can also build a sandstone door with 10 bricks.

Science can [[Guide_to_advanced_construction#Hydroponics_Tray|build]] hydroponics trays. They can also upgrade them by replacing the matter bins, and this increases the water and nutrient capacity of the tray.
===Wood and Drying Racks===
First you need to get some tower-caps, grow them and harvest them. You can then use hatchet (and some other things, but it's not important) on the logs to chop some planks. They have many uses: you can make chairs, tables, wooden floors and so on. A unique thing here is a drying rack. You can use it to dry a plant, and then smoke it. First, build a rack with 10 planks. Then, grab a plant you want to dry and put it in the rack. Click on the rack and toggle drying so that the red arrows light up. Give it a few seconds and it's done.

Note: you can dry ''any'' plant, and smoking it will give you all chemicals that were in it. You can smoke dried apples if you want, and get nutriment from them.

===[[File:Wooden_barrel.png]] Fermentation Barrel===
You can craft wooden barrels with the crafting menu (under tribal), which requires 30 wood planks [[File:Planks.png]]. Clicking it will toggle it between open and closed. When open you can insert plants or liquid. When closed you can draw liquid by using a container on it. 
Inserting a plant into the barrel will ferment the plant after a few seconds (even if not closing it). This will grind the plant, adding all the plant's contained reagents to the barrel. But it can also add an additional reagent depending on plant used. Most plants will create a special [[Guide_to_food_and_drinks#Wine|wine]] with varied boozepower depending on plant used. Some plants will create other reagents than wine, and some plants will not work at all.
===Things You Can Make Out of Your Plants===
*Add some cable to a potato to make a potato battery. Botany cells have potential to be better than bluespace cells.
* Glowberries and glowshrooms, as the name suggests, glow.
*You can carve a pumpkin with a hatchet. Carved pumpkins can be worn and you can toggle them to emit a weak light.
*You can make a cob-pipe out of a corn cob.
*You can carve a carrot with a hatchet to make a shiv. It's not very strong but it's good at slicing things.
*Flowers and ambrosia can be worn on your head.
* Add dried ambrosia, wheat, tea aspera tips or tobacco leaves to a tower cap log to make a torch.
*Dried ambrosia, tobacco or any mutations of those are able to be smoked from wrapping paper, found in smoking vending machines. You can also grind them and put the liquid in an e-cig.
==Todo list for this guide==
*Add missing/fix outdated entries in the plant reference chart
*Add some icons and pictures to break up the wall of text
==Another guide==
Since Botany is relatively easy to learn but hard to master, here is an extra guide that focuses on a more practical, step-by-step point of view.
Also includes a lot of extra "recipes" for what you can turn your plants into.

Guide to hydroponics

2023-01-13T14:04:15Z

Wrill: Soybeans have 3% cooking oil.

[[File:Hydroponics.png|frame|right|Hydroponics. This is your home.]]
== Basics of Botany ==
[[Hydroponics]] and the [[Botanist]]s who work there are important to the station, especially in longer rounds. Botanists grow plants that the [[Chef]] can use for food. Without botany, the station will have to live off of beef jerky and space twinkies, or starve to death.
=== Your Area ===
Hydroponics is divided into two rooms. The big section is where you'll spend most of your time growing goods. Trays are available where you grow plants and two vending machines, one with seeds and the other with miscellaneous items such as nutrients and tools for your job. The bio-generator can be used to grind plants and produce things for the station. In tandem is the seed dispenser used to reproduce your product. The northern area is where you can grab most of the equipment needed to work in botany.

Plants require nutrients (fertilizer) and water to grow. They are also bothered by pests and weeds. 
Trays come equipped with lights that flash specific colors to tell you what's happening with your plant.

From left to right -
* '''Green''': Ready to harvest.
* '''Red''': Low health, caused by weeds/pests/toxins/end of lifespan.
* '''Orange''': High weed level.
* '''Yellow''': Low nutrients.
* '''Blue''': Low water.
Tools that are of use in botany -
* {{anchor|Plant_Analyzer}}'''Plant Analyzer''': Shows detailed detailed plant statistics. Very useful for growing fragile plants like Ambrosia Deus.
* {{anchor|Cultivator}}'''Cultivator''': Kills Weeds.
* '''Plant Bag''': Collects up to 50 items or 100 seeds from your harvest. Useful for moving those into the fridge or biogenerator.
* '''Wrench''': Used to move your trays around.
* '''Wirecutters''': Used to set up the irrigation system. If 30u or more of water is put into trays while the irrigation is set up, water will be shared across trays. This will also distribute things like mutagen and plant killer.
* {{anchor|Hatchet}}'''Hatchet''': Chops tower-caps into planks, chops other things. This is also a robust tool that fits in pockets.
* {{anchor|Shovel}}'''Shovel''': Digs up grass floors and cleans dirt.
* {{anchor|Spade}}'''Spade''': Removes and destroys plants in a tray.
* '''All-In-One Grinder''': This is how you extract reagents from plants - throw them in and hit the "grind" button.
* '''Portable Seed Extractor''': This can harvest and pick up plants and turn up to 100 plants into seeds. Less efficient than the machine.
=== [[File:Seed_Extractor.gif|Seed Extractor]] Plant growing 101 ===
Take some seeds from the vendor and put them into the trays. Now, take a look at the tray with a plant analyzer. For now, you only need to pay attention to the bottom five stats - '''Water/Nutrition''' and '''Weeds/Toxic/Pest''' levels. 
Now, fill a bucket from the water tank and grab fertilizer from the vending machine. You get rid of weeds with the cultivator and remove pests with pest spray. [[Chemistry]] can give you better chemicals for this, which will be explained later in the guide. 
Some plants have a varied growth times, such as wheat growing faster while watermelons or apple trees take a little longer before you can harvest from them. 
Once your tray flashes green, you're set to harvest. If you want to replicate the plant to continue growing more, just insert it into the seed extractor. 
You can click seeds with a pen to change the name of the plant, the seed's description, or the plant's description. After planting in a hydroponics tray the tray updates with the name and description of the plant inside it.
=== [[File:Biogenerator.gif|Bio-generator]] Biogenerator ===
The Biogenerator makes items out of the nutriment in plants. As a rule of thumb: More nutriment = more biomass. Watermelons and pumpkins are commonly used due to their 20% nutriment boost [[#Traits|trait]]. 
To get biomass, grab a spare bucket and equip the machine with it, then use the plant bag to put fruits inside. 
If you somehow run out of fertilizer in the vendors, remember you can print the three standard fertilizers here. Keep in mind that you can craft a whole bunch of useful items from the leather/cloth sheets the biogenerator creates.
=== [[File:plant dna manip.gif]]DNA Extractor ===
The DNA extractor allows you to extract and modify seed stats and [[#Traits|traits]]. This machine is what lets you become a [[Chemist]] on speed.

This is a little complex, so look at: [[Guide_to_hydroponics#Advanced_Botany|Advanced Botany]]
== Stats, reagents and traits ==
Three things determine how your plant will turn out: Their '''stats''', '''reagents''' and '''[[#Traits|traits]]'''.
=== Stats ===
Stats determine whether your plants are small and grow slowly, or are big and fast-growing.
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed">
Click expand to see what stats do:
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
* '''Potency''': The most important stat (0 to 100). This affects the amount of chemicals in the plant, though some have additional effects, such as stun length for bananas. 
To get the amount of a given chemical in a plant, multiply the reagent in the chart by the potency: for example, 10% nutriment will be 5 nutriment at 50 potency.
* '''Yield''': How much product you get each harvest. Between 0 and 10. Pay attention to this, because if it drops to 0, you won't harvest anything.
* '''Production Speed''': How fast your plant reaches harvest. Between 1 and 10 -- the '''lower''' the faster. The plant has to wait (Production Speed) age cycles before each harvest.
* '''Maturation Speed''': Age cycles before the plant can start production. The first harvest will be (Maturation Speed + Production Speed).
* '''Lifespan''': When the age is above lifespan, the plant starts losing health. Between 10 and 100. Only important for plants with the Perennial Growth [[#Traits|trait]].
* '''Age''': Age of the plant. Only relevant in terms of the lifespan stat.
* '''Endurance''': Max health. Between 10 and 100. Not very useful, unless you leave your garden often.
* '''Weed growth rate''': Determines how quickly weeds grow in the plant tray. Only relevant with very high values.
* '''Weed vulnerability''': The higher, the more easily a plant is overtaken by weeds. Only relevant with very high values.

=== Reagents/Content ===
This determines what chemicals are present in a grown plant - the [[Guide_to_hydroponics#Advanced_Botany|DNA extractor]] lets you extract and splice these. 
With a bit of creativity, you can mix your own mutagen, produce unique healing chemicals or turn tomatoes into napalm grenades. Solid [[Guide_to_chemistry|Chemistry]] knowledge will help you out immensely. 
For a detailed list, check out: [[Guide_to_hydroponics#Plant reference chart|Plant reference chart]]
=== Traits ===
Traits give your plants unique properties. There are plenty - Perennial Growth for example lets you harvest plants multiple times. 
These can be transferred, just like reagents.

==[[File:Vendnutri.gif]] Chemicals==
A lot of chemicals influence plants - get these from the vending machine, [[Chemistry]] or by growing your own!
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-uncollapsed">
Click expand to see a list of chemicals:
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
===Fertilizers ===
*Nutriment: A fertilizer that adds 1 nutrient to the tray and heals the plant 0.5 health per unit added. You can get it by putting your plants and regular food in the grinder.
*[[Ammonia]]: Similar to nutriment, but also increases yield (25u to increase 1 yield). Get it from the [[Chemist]] or hack the Nutri-Vend to get this.
*[[Diethylamine]]: Adds 2 nutrient to the tray, heals the plant 1 health per unit added and increases yield (50u to increase 1 yield). Also kills pests. Get it the same way you get Ammonia.
* Saltpetre: Heals your plant, increases potency and decreases production time. Doesn't add nutrient to the tray.
*Robust Harvest: Adds 1 nutrient to the tray per unit, and permanently increases plant yield of the tray 30% (without mutating the plant). Doesn't work on plants with 0 yield. A tray can only have the modifiers of one of the three special fertilizers at a time (Robust Harvest, E-Z-Nutrient and Left 4 Zed).
===Pest Removal===
* Pest Killer: Kills pests, and adds a small amount of toxicity.
*Weed Killer: Same as above, but for Weeds.
===Mutation===
*E-Z-Nutrient: Makes your plant mutate once every time it's ready for harvesting, and resets the tray's yield modifier to x1 (if another special fertilizer had previously been used on the tray). A tray can only have the modifiers of one of the three special fertilizers at a time (Robust Harvest, E-Z-Nutrient and Left 4 Zed).
*Left 4 Zed: Makes your plant mutate twice, but the yield will permanently be 1 at best. If the plant's yield is 0, then nothing is produced! You'll have to use another mutagen to harvest the normal yield of the plant. A tray can only have the modifiers of one of the three special fertilizers at a time (Robust Harvest, E-Z-Nutrient and Left 4 Zed).
*[[Unstable Mutagen]]: Used to randomly mutate plants - 5u for a chance to change the plant type, 1u/2u to only change stats.
*Radium and Uranium: Also usable for mutation (10u for plant type, 2u/5u for stats), but damages plants and adds toxicity. Radium is more damaging.
===Plant Meds===
*[[Ash]]: Adds 0.5 nutrient to the tray, heals the plant 0.25 health per unit added and kills weeds.
*[[Guide_to_chemistry#Multiver|charcoal]]: Makes your plant less toxic. You can get it by whining to anyone who works in [[Medbay]].
*[[Cryoxadone]]: Heals your plant, via <s>miracles</s> science. Also lowers toxicity. Don't expect the [[Chemist]] to give this to you, but the medbay probably has extra beakers of this.
*Holy water: If you can get the [[Chaplain]]'s attention and make him bless your water, it will heal your plant a bit.
===Unorthodox chemicals===
*Soda Water: Mostly adds water, but also heals the plant and adds nutrient to the tray by a tiny amount.
*Milk: Adds some water and a tiny but of nutrient to the tray.
*Beer: Adds a bit of water and nutrient to the tray, but damages the plant a little.
*Blood: Feeds both your plant and pests.
*Virus Food: Adds nutrient to the tray while damaging the plant.
*Nicotine: Kills pests while adding toxicity.
===The bad stuff===
*Sugar: Makes pests and weeds grow stronger. Unless you [[Traitor|plan to use unstable mutagen to unleash giant spiders or Kudzu upon the station]], it's of no use.
* Toxin: Increases toxicity. Good job!
* Plant-B-Gone, Sulphuric Acid, Fluorosulfuric Acid: Damages the plant, adds toxicity and kills weeds. What do you think would happen?
* Fluorine, Chlorine: Same as above, but also drains water.
*Phosphorus: Same as Flourine/Chlorine, but adds nutrients to the tray instead of toxicity. Just use a spade.
*Napalm: Kills weeds, hurts plant and adds toxicity. This is just going downhill. Unless your plant has the fireproof [[#Traits|trait]], you might as well space the whole tray. On fireproof plants it will just kill weeds.
*[[Guide_to_chemistry#Strange_Reagent|Strange Reagent]]: Is supposed to spawn hostile plant creatures but currently doesn't work.

==[[File:Apiary.png|Beekeeping]] [[Beekeeping]]==
Bees greatly increase plant yield, potency and the probability of you getting lynched. Great stuff, and very useful even if you're no traitor!

[[File:Bee.gif]] [[Beekeeping|For more info, click here for the guide on beepeeking.]] [[File:Bee.gif]]

== Advanced Botany==
This is where you get to PLAY GOD and mess with the stats, reagents and [[#Traits|traits]] of plants. 
===Using the DNA manipulator ===
1. Go to the locker in the back and take out the box of plant data disks. 
2. Load a disk into the machine along with any seed of choice. 
3. Extract any gene, this will destroy the seed and save it to the disk. 
4. Put in another seed. 
5. You can now modify the seed's stats and genes based on what's on the plant data disk. 
Obviously, this can be quite powerful in the right hands, and even for more basic tasks it can be a major boon.

It is worth noting, however, that the DNA manipulator has an upper limit on how high a stat can be when you try to extract it and save it to disk, and any stats higher than that will be brought down to that cap. Though these caps can be lowered or eliminated if you can get RnD to upgrade your machine, at round-start the caps are very bad, with certain stats like production speed being capped at a level worse than what nearly every plant has initially. [[#Traits|Traits]], on the other hand, can be extracted just fine no matter what parts are used.

Useful genes from default seeds:
*Wheat has a production speed of 1, the fastest possible.
*Tower-caps have very long lifespans (around 80), as well as potency and endurance stats of 50.
*Tobacco plants have a yield of 10, the cap for that stat.
*Apples have the perennial growth [[#Traits|trait]], which allows for you to get multiple harvests from a single plant.
*Watermelon has an endurance nearly on par with tower-caps, making it a good substitute when starting out so you can avoid using up all of your starting tower-cap seeds.
Some genes are unextractable.
 
===Mutations===
You can mutate plants to A) change stats or B) mutate them into a different subspecies. To do this in a timely manner, you'll need to work with the [[Chemistry]] department.
*The agonizingly slow way is using '''E-Z Nutriment''' to make the plant mutate once every time it's ready to harvest. '''Left 4 Zed''' makes it mutate twice, but kills the yield!

*You can speed up the process to bearable levels by asking your local [[Chemist]] for a few bottles of '''[[Guide_to_chemistry#Unstable Mutagen|Unstable Mutagen]]'''. 
Pour 5 units on your plant and prepare for...
*10% chance of '''mutation into a related species'''. This destroys the old plant and plants a new one. See the [[Guide_to_hydroponics#Plant reference chart|Plant reference chart]] for information on these mutations.
* 10% chance of the '''plant losing lots of health instantly'''. The plant can die because of this
*15% chance of '''heavy stat mutation''' with a 3% chance of a new [[#Traits|trait]] appearing.
*15% chance of '''normal stat mutation'''.
*20% chance of '''nothing'''. You get a message when this happens.
*10% chance of '''weeds mutating'''. If weed level is less than 5, nothing happens, otherwise you get a random, special mutated weed (Kudzu, Deathnettle, Destroying Angel, Liberty Cap).
*10% chance of '''pests mutating'''. Again, if pest level is less than 5, nothing happens. Otherwise, spiderlings are spawned.
** This is '''bad'''. If the spiderlings escape, they'll grow big and you'll likely get lynched.
Or, if you don't want to bother with species mutation, pour 2 units for a guaranteed heavy stat mutation with a 3% chance of a new [[#Traits|trait]] appearing, or even 1 for a guaranteed normal stat mutation. This method is safe even if you don't have backup seeds, and you can use a bottle for it.
*You can use '''radium''' and '''uranium''', but they cause ill effects, and if you can get radium, you can get mutagen.

*R&D can also research a wonderful thing called a '''Floral Somatoray'''. It has two options: increase yield and mutate the plant. In yield more mode, every time you fire it at the plant, there is a chance the yield will increase. The chance becomes very small when you reach high levels, but it's very useful for low-yield plants. It can even raise yield from zero! In mutation mode, it will always induce a normal stat mutation.
===Fixing awful stats===
Mutating plants has a chance of really ruining stats. Luckily, there are a few ways to fix them:
*Unstable Mutagen. Using 1u slightly changes stats, 2u has more drastic effects.
* Saltpetre. Increases potency and decreases production time.
*Ammonia. Increases yield.
*Floral Somatoray. Increases yield and works as a substitute for Unstable Mutagen.
===Dude weeds ===
Trays, whether empty or occupied by plants, can be occasionally overtaken by a weed if their level is 5 or more. In that case the old plant is destroyed, and a new one will sprout in its place.

Possible plants include:
*1/6 chance for Reishi/Starshittle.
*1/9 chance for Nettle/Harebell/Amanita/Chanterelle/Tower Cap/Plump Helmets
Using 5u of unstable mutagen on high weed level trays results in different plants:
*Kudzu, Deathnettle, Destroying Angel, Liberty Cap
==Other Notes==

===[[file:Bottle.png]] Growing your own mutagen===
Not robust enough to steal a chem dispenser? Try this out.
*First, plant pumpkins and mutate them into blumpkins.
*Now, insert their Chlorine production [[#Traits|trait]] into glowshrooms and remove the Nutriment one.
*That's it! You now have a plant that grows unstable mutagen - just pop the produce into the grinder.
*You might want to add Densified Chemicals from Redbeets as well as Perennial Growth to optimize your harvest.
===[[File:Dispenser.png]] Other ways to mutagen===
Chemistry is <s>busy curing the plague</s> too high to help you out?
*<s>Bad idea: Steal a chem dispenser. This will start a blood feud and is one of the biggest reasons why Botanists are hated by some. Think of it as someone stealing all your plant trays.</s>
*<s>Better: Ask Medbay to print you a spare chem dispenser board. After very basic research (Biological Technology), the medical protolathe is able to print chem dispenser boards.</s>
*<s>Or: Grab the spare chem dispenser board from tech storage. The AI, silicons and all members of the Engineering department can let you in.</s>
*<s>For stock parts: Print them from a public autolathe (if such has been built) or ask RnD/Engineering for a part replacer with stock parts. The parts are: 2 matter bins, 1 capacitor, 1 micro-manipulator, 1 power cell, 1 glass sheet. </s>
*<s>For stock parts you can also disassemble a hydroponics tray and a cell charger. A cell can then be found or gotten from disassembling a cyborg recharger.</s>
*Just use your Minor Botanical Chem Dispenser. It can give you mutagen, saltpetre and water roundstart and with t4 parts you can get plantbgone, weedkiller, pestkiller and diethylamine.
===[[file:Ambrosia_gaia.png]] Upgrading plant trays===
Composting enough plants that contain Earthsblood (20 units from plants like [[#Ambrosia gaia|Ambrosia Gaia]]) into a tray will give it a golden shine. Now it will no longer require water, fertilizer or weed/pest removal.

This is great in combination with plants that have the Perennial Growth [[#Traits|trait]]! A lot of Botanists will upgrade their trays before getting started with actual hydroponics.

Upgraded trays permanently contain the last fertilizer you used before the upgrade. Robust Harvest is usually the best choice.

Instead of keeping the original Gaia plant that most likely has gimped stats - insert the Earthsblood production [[#Traits|trait]] into a more robust plant.

If your DNA extractor hasn't been upgraded yet: Wheat has a production speed of 1 and good overall stats. If you're lucky, your station will have 50 potency Wheat bushels just lying around at roundstart.

You can speed up the process by removing all contents but Earthsblood production and adding the Densified Chemicals (Redbeet) [[#Traits|trait]].
===[[file:Replicapodplant.png]] Replica Pod Cloning===
Replica pods can be used to grow dead people back to life - even when their brain and head are missing.

To clone someone, follow these simple steps:
*Take a blood sample from the body using a syringe.
*Inject it into the bag of seeds.
*Plant the seeds.
*Let the plant grow and then harvest it.
* If the ghost of the corpse is still online, and did not turn on "Do not Resuscitate", that person will be cloned as a [[Podman]].
*If there was no ghost available, the resulting harvest will simply produce a new pack of seeds.
The [[Podman|podmen]] are a little different from normal humans. E.g. they regenerate in light but suffer in darkness and don't get attacked by bees.

Cabbage can be mutated into Replica Pod.
===Strange Seeds===
Strange seeds (from hacked vendors or cargo crates) have completely random reagents and [[#Traits|traits]].

Notable examples are:
* Gaseous Decomposition
*Nitroglycerin
*Microbes (Fungal Tuberculosis)
*Any drink, like Gin Tonic or Beepsky Smash
*Glitter
*Plasmaman Mutation Toxin
*Hell Water
Of course, this is pretty gimmicky and unreliable.
===[[file:Kudzuplant.png]] Kudzu {{anchor|Kudzu}}===
Kudzu is a weed that can appear when adding 5u [[Guide_to_chemistry#Unstable Mutagen|Unstable Mutagen]] to a tray with a weed level of 5 or above. The tray version of kudzu will grow normally in its tray. When harvested it will produce kudzu pods [[File:Kudzu.png]]. The kudzu pod is like any other fruit/vegetable and can be eaten or grinded. To create wild-spreading kudzu, you must put a kudzu pod into a seed extractor, which will create packs of kudzu seeds [[File:Kudzuseed.png]]. Then activate a kudzu seed in your hand to start planting wild-spreading kudzu on the floor. 
Some plant stats will affect the wild-spreading version of kudzu in specific ways:
*Potency of the seed will make kudzu mutate more on spread, the chance to mutate on each new piece is '''[potency / 10]'''
*Production will affect how fast the kudzu can spread, usual kudzu spreads at a rate of 20% of the amount of pieces per tick but no more than 30, production changes the cap '''[30 * production / 50]''' and the percent of processed pieces per tick '''[20 * (production / 50)]'''
Killing the last piece of kudzu will create a kudzu seed in its place with all the ackumulated mutations saved in the seed. So if you reactivate it, the new kudzu on the floor will have all the same mutations the seed had, and will spread it to all its progenitors. You can examine a wild kudzu to see what mutations it has. When mutating it typically changes color. 
Kudzu can gain mutations only on spread, here is the list of all of them:
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed">
Click expand to see Kudzu [[#Traits|traits]] and mutations:
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
*'''CO2 consumption''' - ''positive'' mutation, consumes CO2 from the air
*<s>'''Space covering''' - ''positive'' mutation, makes vines grow vine floors over space</s> Removed as of August 23 2017.
*'''Light''' - ''positive'' mutation, about 40% of the vines with this mutation emit light slightly more powerful than PDA
*'''Transparency''' - ''positive'' mutation, makes vines look-through
*'''Toxins consumption''' - ''positive'' mutation, absorbs plasma from the air
*<s>'''Bluespace vines''' - ''minor negative'' mutation, makes vines be able to grow through anything</s> Removed as of August 23 2017.
*'''Explosive''' - ''minor negative'' mutation, on death vines with this mutation explode with 0,0,2 power, so clusters of this vine will chain-explode one after another
*'''Fire resistant''' - ''minor negative'' mutation, makes vines ignore fire damage, be it plasma fires or welders
*'''Vine eating''' - ''minor negative'' mutation, vines with this mutation will eat vines without it
*'''Toxicity''' - ''negative'' mutation, eating vine with this mutation or walking thought it will cause you toxin damage
*'''Aggressive spreading''' - ''negative'' mutation, on spreading vines will cause effect of mini-explosion on the tile they spread to, mobs buckled by this vine will also experience effects akin to minor explosion
*'''O2 consumption''' - ''negative'' mutation, absorbs O2 from the air around
*'''N2 consumption''' - ''negative'' mutation, absorbs N2 from the air
*'''Thorns''' - ''negative'' mutation, makes mobs touching or going through vines recieve physical damage
*'''Hardening''' - ''negative'' mutation, makes vines not die fast from sharp objects, but makes non-sharp objects(hands included) be more effective agaisnt them, on the full maturation block the passage
*'''Flowering''' - ''negative'' mutation, makes vines very entangly and spawns harmful flowers occasionally, flowers after destruction spawn flower mob that is agressive and attacks

Adding special chemicals to the tray when the seeds are growing will affect the specific kudzu mutations:
*Adding ''5u'' of '''welding fuel''' will remove random ''positive'' mutation with a ''20%'' probability
*Adding ''5u'' of '''phenol''' will remove a random ''minor negative'' mutation with a ''20%'' probability
*Adding ''5u'' of '''sterilizine''' will remove a random ''negative'' mutation with a ''20%'' probability
* Adding ''15u'' of '''blood''' will change the production value of the seeds by a random number in the range from ''-5 to +15''
*Adding ''5u'' of '''amatoxin''' will change the production value of the seeds by a random number in the range from ''-15 to +5''
*Adding ''5u'' of '''plasma''' will change the potency value of the seeds by a random number in the range from ''-15 to +5''
*Adding ''10u'' of '''holy water''' will change a potency value of the seeds by a random number in the range from ''-5 to +15''

===Sandstone and Soil===
If you pick up the grass and use it (click on it in your hand), you will prepare astroturf. Get a crowbar and remove some floor tiles, then place astroturf in their place. In addition to looking nice, it can be used to get some sand. Just dig it with your spade and you'll get two piles. Now, pick up the sand and use it; you will make a sandstone brick. Using three bricks, you can make a soil plot, which is like a tray, except you can walk over it and there are no lights. You can also build a sandstone door with 10 bricks.

Science can [[Guide_to_advanced_construction#Hydroponics_Tray|build]] hydroponics trays. They can also upgrade them by replacing the matter bins, and this increases the water and nutrient capacity of the tray.
===Wood and Drying Racks===
First you need to get some tower-caps, grow them and harvest them. You can then use hatchet (and some other things, but it's not important) on the logs to chop some planks. They have many uses: you can make chairs, tables, wooden floors and so on. A unique thing here is a drying rack. You can use it to dry a plant, and then smoke it. First, build a rack with 10 planks. Then, grab a plant you want to dry and put it in the rack. Click on the rack and toggle drying so that the red arrows light up. Give it a few seconds and it's done.

Note: you can dry ''any'' plant, and smoking it will give you all chemicals that were in it. You can smoke dried apples if you want, and get nutriment from them.

===[[File:Wooden_barrel.png]] Fermentation Barrel===
You can craft wooden barrels with the crafting menu (under tribal), which requires 30 wood planks [[File:Planks.png]]. Clicking it will toggle it between open and closed. When open you can insert plants or liquid. When closed you can draw liquid by using a container on it. 
Inserting a plant into the barrel will ferment the plant after a few seconds (even if not closing it). This will grind the plant, adding all the plant's contained reagents to the barrel. But it can also add an additional reagent depending on plant used. Most plants will create a special [[Guide_to_food_and_drinks#Wine|wine]] with varied boozepower depending on plant used. Some plants will create other reagents than wine, and some plants will not work at all.
===Things You Can Make Out of Your Plants===
*Add some cable to a potato to make a potato battery. Botany cells have potential to be better than bluespace cells.
* Glowberries and glowshrooms, as the name suggests, glow.
*You can carve a pumpkin with a hatchet. Carved pumpkins can be worn and you can toggle them to emit a weak light.
*You can make a cob-pipe out of a corn cob.
*You can carve a carrot with a hatchet to make a shiv. It's not very strong but it's good at slicing things.
*Flowers and ambrosia can be worn on your head.
* Add dried ambrosia, wheat, tea aspera tips or tobacco leaves to a tower cap log to make a torch.
*Dried ambrosia, tobacco or any mutations of those are able to be smoked from wrapping paper, found in smoking vending machines. You can also grind them and put the liquid in an e-cig.
==Todo list for this guide==
*Add missing/fix outdated entries in the plant reference chart
*Add some icons and pictures to break up the wall of text
==Another guide==
Since Botany is relatively easy to learn but hard to master, here is an extra guide that focuses on a more practical, step-by-step point of view.
Also includes a lot of extra "recipes" for what you can turn your plants into.

Guide to hydroponics

2023-01-08T13:12:59Z

Wrill: Removed the link to "Space Botanology"? It hasn't been testmerged in months.

[[File:Hydroponics.png|frame|right|Hydroponics. This is your home.]]
== Basics of Botany ==
[[Hydroponics]] and the [[Botanist]]s who work there are important to the station, especially in longer rounds. Botanists grow plants that the [[Chef]] can use for food. Without botany, the station will have to live off of beef jerky and space twinkies, or starve to death.
=== Your Area ===
Hydroponics is divided into two rooms. The big section is where you'll spend most of your time growing goods. Trays are available where you grow plants and two vending machines, one with seeds and the other with miscellaneous items such as nutrients and tools for your job. The bio-generator can be used to grind plants and produce things for the station. In tandem is the seed dispenser used to reproduce your product. The northern area is where you can grab most of the equipment needed to work in botany.

Plants require nutrients (fertilizer) and water to grow. They are also bothered by pests and weeds. 
Trays come equipped with lights that flash specific colors to tell you what's happening with your plant.

From left to right -
* '''Green''': Ready to harvest.
* '''Red''': Low health, caused by weeds/pests/toxins/end of lifespan.
* '''Orange''': High weed level.
* '''Yellow''': Low nutrients.
* '''Blue''': Low water.
Tools that are of use in botany -
* {{anchor|Plant_Analyzer}}'''Plant Analyzer''': Shows detailed detailed plant statistics. Very useful for growing fragile plants like Ambrosia Deus.
* {{anchor|Cultivator}}'''Cultivator''': Kills Weeds.
* '''Plant Bag''': Collects up to 50 items or 100 seeds from your harvest. Useful for moving those into the fridge or biogenerator.
* '''Wrench''': Used to move your trays around.
* '''Wirecutters''': Used to set up the irrigation system. If 30u or more of water is put into trays while the irrigation is set up, water will be shared across trays. This will also distribute things like mutagen and plant killer.
* {{anchor|Hatchet}}'''Hatchet''': Chops tower-caps into planks, chops other things. This is also a robust tool that fits in pockets.
* {{anchor|Shovel}}'''Shovel''': Digs up grass floors and cleans dirt.
* {{anchor|Spade}}'''Spade''': Removes and destroys plants in a tray.
* '''All-In-One Grinder''': This is how you extract reagents from plants - throw them in and hit the "grind" button.
* '''Portable Seed Extractor''': This can harvest and pick up plants and turn up to 100 plants into seeds. Less efficient than the machine.
=== [[File:Seed_Extractor.gif|Seed Extractor]] Plant growing 101 ===
Take some seeds from the vendor and put them into the trays. Now, take a look at the tray with a plant analyzer. For now, you only need to pay attention to the bottom five stats - '''Water/Nutrition''' and '''Weeds/Toxic/Pest''' levels. 
Now, fill a bucket from the water tank and grab fertilizer from the vending machine. You get rid of weeds with the cultivator and remove pests with pest spray. [[Chemistry]] can give you better chemicals for this, which will be explained later in the guide. 
Some plants have a varied growth times, such as wheat growing faster while watermelons or apple trees take a little longer before you can harvest from them. 
Once your tray flashes green, you're set to harvest. If you want to replicate the plant to continue growing more, just insert it into the seed extractor. 
You can click seeds with a pen to change the name of the plant, the seed's description, or the plant's description. After planting in a hydroponics tray the tray updates with the name and description of the plant inside it.
=== [[File:Biogenerator.gif|Bio-generator]] Biogenerator ===
The Biogenerator makes items out of the nutriment in plants. As a rule of thumb: More nutriment = more biomass. Watermelons and pumpkins are commonly used due to their 20% nutriment boost [[#Traits|trait]]. 
To get biomass, grab a spare bucket and equip the machine with it, then use the plant bag to put fruits inside. 
If you somehow run out of fertilizer in the vendors, remember you can print the three standard fertilizers here. Keep in mind that you can craft a whole bunch of useful items from the leather/cloth sheets the biogenerator creates.
=== [[File:plant dna manip.gif]]DNA Extractor ===
The DNA extractor allows you to extract and modify seed stats and [[#Traits|traits]]. This machine is what lets you become a [[Chemist]] on speed.

This is a little complex, so look at: [[Guide_to_hydroponics#Advanced_Botany|Advanced Botany]]
== Stats, reagents and traits ==
Three things determine how your plant will turn out: Their '''stats''', '''reagents''' and '''[[#Traits|traits]]'''.
=== Stats ===
Stats determine whether your plants are small and grow slowly, or are big and fast-growing.
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed">
Click expand to see what stats do:
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
* '''Potency''': The most important stat (0 to 100). This affects the amount of chemicals in the plant, though some have additional effects, such as stun length for bananas. 
To get the amount of a given chemical in a plant, multiply the reagent in the chart by the potency: for example, 10% nutriment will be 5 nutriment at 50 potency.
* '''Yield''': How much product you get each harvest. Between 0 and 10. Pay attention to this, because if it drops to 0, you won't harvest anything.
* '''Production Speed''': How fast your plant reaches harvest. Between 1 and 10 -- the '''lower''' the faster. The plant has to wait (Production Speed) age cycles before each harvest.
* '''Maturation Speed''': Age cycles before the plant can start production. The first harvest will be (Maturation Speed + Production Speed).
* '''Lifespan''': When the age is above lifespan, the plant starts losing health. Between 10 and 100. Only important for plants with the Perennial Growth [[#Traits|trait]].
* '''Age''': Age of the plant. Only relevant in terms of the lifespan stat.
* '''Endurance''': Max health. Between 10 and 100. Not very useful, unless you leave your garden often.
* '''Weed growth rate''': Determines how quickly weeds grow in the plant tray. Only relevant with very high values.
* '''Weed vulnerability''': The higher, the more easily a plant is overtaken by weeds. Only relevant with very high values.
</div>
</div>
=== Reagents/Content ===
This determines what chemicals are present in a grown plant - the [[Guide_to_hydroponics#Advanced_Botany|DNA extractor]] lets you extract and splice these. 
With a bit of creativity, you can mix your own mutagen, produce unique healing chemicals or turn tomatoes into napalm grenades. Solid [[Guide_to_chemistry|Chemistry]] knowledge will help you out immensely. 
For a detailed list, check out: [[Guide_to_hydroponics#Plant reference chart|Plant reference chart]]
=== Traits ===
Traits give your plants unique properties. There are plenty - Perennial Growth for example lets you harvest plants multiple times. 
These can be transferred, just like reagents.

==[[File:Vendnutri.gif]] Chemicals==
A lot of chemicals influence plants - get these from the vending machine, [[Chemistry]] or by growing your own!
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-uncollapsed">
Click expand to see a list of chemicals:
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
===Fertilizers ===
*Nutriment: A fertilizer that adds 1 nutrient to the tray and heals the plant 0.5 health per unit added. You can get it by putting your plants and regular food in the grinder.
*[[Ammonia]]: Similar to nutriment, but also increases yield (25u to increase 1 yield). Get it from the [[Chemist]] or hack the Nutri-Vend to get this.
*[[Diethylamine]]: Adds 2 nutrient to the tray, heals the plant 1 health per unit added and increases yield (50u to increase 1 yield). Also kills pests. Get it the same way you get Ammonia.
* Saltpetre: Heals your plant, increases potency and decreases production time. Doesn't add nutrient to the tray.
*Robust Harvest: Adds 1 nutrient to the tray per unit, and permanently increases plant yield of the tray 30% (without mutating the plant). Doesn't work on plants with 0 yield. A tray can only have the modifiers of one of the three special fertilizers at a time (Robust Harvest, E-Z-Nutrient and Left 4 Zed).
===Pest Removal===
* Pest Killer: Kills pests, and adds a small amount of toxicity.
*Weed Killer: Same as above, but for Weeds.
===Mutation===
*E-Z-Nutrient: Makes your plant mutate once every time it's ready for harvesting, and resets the tray's yield modifier to x1 (if another special fertilizer had previously been used on the tray). A tray can only have the modifiers of one of the three special fertilizers at a time (Robust Harvest, E-Z-Nutrient and Left 4 Zed).
*Left 4 Zed: Makes your plant mutate twice, but the yield will permanently be 1 at best. If the plant's yield is 0, then nothing is produced! You'll have to use another mutagen to harvest the normal yield of the plant. A tray can only have the modifiers of one of the three special fertilizers at a time (Robust Harvest, E-Z-Nutrient and Left 4 Zed).
*[[Unstable Mutagen]]: Used to randomly mutate plants - 5u for a chance to change the plant type, 1u/2u to only change stats.
*Radium and Uranium: Also usable for mutation (10u for plant type, 2u/5u for stats), but damages plants and adds toxicity. Radium is more damaging.
===Plant Meds===
*[[Ash]]: Adds 0.5 nutrient to the tray, heals the plant 0.25 health per unit added and kills weeds.
*[[Guide_to_chemistry#Multiver|charcoal]]: Makes your plant less toxic. You can get it by whining to anyone who works in [[Medbay]].
*[[Cryoxadone]]: Heals your plant, via <s>miracles</s> science. Also lowers toxicity. Don't expect the [[Chemist]] to give this to you, but the medbay probably has extra beakers of this.
*Holy water: If you can get the [[Chaplain]]'s attention and make him bless your water, it will heal your plant a bit.
===Unorthodox chemicals===
*Soda Water: Mostly adds water, but also heals the plant and adds nutrient to the tray by a tiny amount.
*Milk: Adds some water and a tiny but of nutrient to the tray.
*Beer: Adds a bit of water and nutrient to the tray, but damages the plant a little.
*Blood: Feeds both your plant and pests.
*Virus Food: Adds nutrient to the tray while damaging the plant.
*Nicotine: Kills pests while adding toxicity.
===The bad stuff===
*Sugar: Makes pests and weeds grow stronger. Unless you [[Traitor|plan to use unstable mutagen to unleash giant spiders or Kudzu upon the station]], it's of no use.
* Toxin: Increases toxicity. Good job!
* Plant-B-Gone, Sulphuric Acid, Fluorosulfuric Acid: Damages the plant, adds toxicity and kills weeds. What do you think would happen?
* Fluorine, Chlorine: Same as above, but also drains water.
*Phosphorus: Same as Flourine/Chlorine, but adds nutrients to the tray instead of toxicity. Just use a spade.
*Napalm: Kills weeds, hurts plant and adds toxicity. This is just going downhill. Unless your plant has the fireproof [[#Traits|trait]], you might as well space the whole tray. On fireproof plants it will just kill weeds.
*[[Guide_to_chemistry#Strange_Reagent|Strange Reagent]]: Is supposed to spawn hostile plant creatures but currently doesn't work.

==[[File:Apiary.png|Beekeeping]] [[Beekeeping]]==
Bees greatly increase plant yield, potency and the probability of you getting lynched. Great stuff, and very useful even if you're no traitor!

[[File:Bee.gif]] [[Beekeeping|For more info, click here for the guide on beepeeking.]] [[File:Bee.gif]]

== Advanced Botany==
This is where you get to PLAY GOD and mess with the stats, reagents and [[#Traits|traits]] of plants. 
===Using the DNA manipulator ===
1. Go to the locker in the back and take out the box of plant data disks. 
2. Load a disk into the machine along with any seed of choice. 
3. Extract any gene, this will destroy the seed and save it to the disk. 
4. Put in another seed. 
5. You can now modify the seed's stats and genes based on what's on the plant data disk. 
Obviously, this can be quite powerful in the right hands, and even for more basic tasks it can be a major boon.

It is worth noting, however, that the DNA manipulator has an upper limit on how high a stat can be when you try to extract it and save it to disk, and any stats higher than that will be brought down to that cap. Though these caps can be lowered or eliminated if you can get RnD to upgrade your machine, at round-start the caps are very bad, with certain stats like production speed being capped at a level worse than what nearly every plant has initially. [[#Traits|Traits]], on the other hand, can be extracted just fine no matter what parts are used.

Useful genes from default seeds:
*Wheat has a production speed of 1, the fastest possible.
*Tower-caps have very long lifespans (around 80), as well as potency and endurance stats of 50.
*Tobacco plants have a yield of 10, the cap for that stat.
*Apples have the perennial growth [[#Traits|trait]], which allows for you to get multiple harvests from a single plant.
*Watermelon has an endurance nearly on par with tower-caps, making it a good substitute when starting out so you can avoid using up all of your starting tower-cap seeds.
Some genes are unextractable.
 
===Mutations===
You can mutate plants to A) change stats or B) mutate them into a different subspecies. To do this in a timely manner, you'll need to work with the [[Chemistry]] department.
*The agonizingly slow way is using '''E-Z Nutriment''' to make the plant mutate once every time it's ready to harvest. '''Left 4 Zed''' makes it mutate twice, but kills the yield!

*You can speed up the process to bearable levels by asking your local [[Chemist]] for a few bottles of '''[[Guide_to_chemistry#Unstable Mutagen|Unstable Mutagen]]'''. 
Pour 5 units on your plant and prepare for...
*10% chance of '''mutation into a related species'''. This destroys the old plant and plants a new one. See the [[Guide_to_hydroponics#Plant reference chart|Plant reference chart]] for information on these mutations.
* 10% chance of the '''plant losing lots of health instantly'''. The plant can die because of this
*15% chance of '''heavy stat mutation''' with a 3% chance of a new [[#Traits|trait]] appearing.
*15% chance of '''normal stat mutation'''.
*20% chance of '''nothing'''. You get a message when this happens.
*10% chance of '''weeds mutating'''. If weed level is less than 5, nothing happens, otherwise you get a random, special mutated weed (Kudzu, Deathnettle, Destroying Angel, Liberty Cap).
*10% chance of '''pests mutating'''. Again, if pest level is less than 5, nothing happens. Otherwise, spiderlings are spawned.
** This is '''bad'''. If the spiderlings escape, they'll grow big and you'll likely get lynched.
Or, if you don't want to bother with species mutation, pour 2 units for a guaranteed heavy stat mutation with a 3% chance of a new [[#Traits|trait]] appearing, or even 1 for a guaranteed normal stat mutation. This method is safe even if you don't have backup seeds, and you can use a bottle for it.
*You can use '''radium''' and '''uranium''', but they cause ill effects, and if you can get radium, you can get mutagen.

*R&D can also research a wonderful thing called a '''Floral Somatoray'''. It has two options: increase yield and mutate the plant. In yield more mode, every time you fire it at the plant, there is a chance the yield will increase. The chance becomes very small when you reach high levels, but it's very useful for low-yield plants. It can even raise yield from zero! In mutation mode, it will always induce a normal stat mutation.
===Fixing awful stats===
Mutating plants has a chance of really ruining stats. Luckily, there are a few ways to fix them:
*Unstable Mutagen. Using 1u slightly changes stats, 2u has more drastic effects.
* Saltpetre. Increases potency and decreases production time.
*Ammonia. Increases yield.
*Floral Somatoray. Increases yield and works as a substitute for Unstable Mutagen.
===Dude weeds ===
Trays, whether empty or occupied by plants, can be occasionally overtaken by a weed if their level is 5 or more. In that case the old plant is destroyed, and a new one will sprout in its place.

Possible plants include:
*1/6 chance for Reishi/Starshittle.
*1/9 chance for Nettle/Harebell/Amanita/Chanterelle/Tower Cap/Plump Helmets
Using 5u of unstable mutagen on high weed level trays results in different plants:
*Kudzu, Deathnettle, Destroying Angel, Liberty Cap
==Other Notes==

===[[file:Bottle.png]] Growing your own mutagen===
Not robust enough to steal a chem dispenser? Try this out.
*First, plant pumpkins and mutate them into blumpkins.
*Now, insert their Chlorine production [[#Traits|trait]] into glowshrooms and remove the Nutriment one.
*That's it! You now have a plant that grows unstable mutagen - just pop the produce into the grinder.
*You might want to add Densified Chemicals from Redbeets as well as Perennial Growth to optimize your harvest.
===[[File:Dispenser.png]] Other ways to mutagen===
Chemistry is <s>busy curing the plague</s> too high to help you out?
*<s>Bad idea: Steal a chem dispenser. This will start a blood feud and is one of the biggest reasons why Botanists are hated by some. Think of it as someone stealing all your plant trays.</s>
*<s>Better: Ask Medbay to print you a spare chem dispenser board. After very basic research (Biological Technology), the medical protolathe is able to print chem dispenser boards.</s>
*<s>Or: Grab the spare chem dispenser board from tech storage. The AI, silicons and all members of the Engineering department can let you in.</s>
*<s>For stock parts: Print them from a public autolathe (if such has been built) or ask RnD/Engineering for a part replacer with stock parts. The parts are: 2 matter bins, 1 capacitor, 1 micro-manipulator, 1 power cell, 1 glass sheet. </s>
*<s>For stock parts you can also disassemble a hydroponics tray and a cell charger. A cell can then be found or gotten from disassembling a cyborg recharger.</s>
*Just use your Minor Botanical Chem Dispenser. It can give you mutagen, saltpetre and water roundstart and with t4 parts you can get plantbgone, weedkiller, pestkiller and diethylamine.
===[[file:Ambrosia_gaia.png]] Upgrading plant trays===
Composting enough plants that contain Earthsblood (20 units from plants like [[#Ambrosia gaia|Ambrosia Gaia]]) into a tray will give it a golden shine. Now it will no longer require water, fertilizer or weed/pest removal.

This is great in combination with plants that have the Perennial Growth [[#Traits|trait]]! A lot of Botanists will upgrade their trays before getting started with actual hydroponics.

Upgraded trays permanently contain the last fertilizer you used before the upgrade. Robust Harvest is usually the best choice.

Instead of keeping the original Gaia plant that most likely has gimped stats - insert the Earthsblood production [[#Traits|trait]] into a more robust plant.

If your DNA extractor hasn't been upgraded yet: Wheat has a production speed of 1 and good overall stats. If you're lucky, your station will have 50 potency Wheat bushels just lying around at roundstart.

You can speed up the process by removing all contents but Earthsblood production and adding the Densified Chemicals (Redbeet) [[#Traits|trait]].
===[[file:Replicapodplant.png]] Replica Pod Cloning===
Replica pods can be used to grow dead people back to life - even when their brain and head are missing.

To clone someone, follow these simple steps:
*Take a blood sample from the body using a syringe.
*Inject it into the bag of seeds.
*Plant the seeds.
*Let the plant grow and then harvest it.
* If the ghost of the corpse is still online, and did not turn on "Do not Resuscitate", that person will be cloned as a [[Podman]].
*If there was no ghost available, the resulting harvest will simply produce a new pack of seeds.
The [[Podman|podmen]] are a little different from normal humans. E.g. they regenerate in light but suffer in darkness and don't get attacked by bees.

Cabbage can be mutated into Replica Pod.
===Strange Seeds===
Strange seeds (from hacked vendors or cargo crates) have completely random reagents and [[#Traits|traits]].

Notable examples are:
* Gaseous Decomposition
*Nitroglycerin
*Microbes (Fungal Tuberculosis)
*Any drink, like Gin Tonic or Beepsky Smash
*Glitter
*Plasmaman Mutation Toxin
*Hell Water
Of course, this is pretty gimmicky and unreliable.
===[[file:Kudzuplant.png]] Kudzu {{anchor|Kudzu}}===
Kudzu is a weed that can appear when adding 5u [[Guide_to_chemistry#Unstable Mutagen|Unstable Mutagen]] to a tray with a weed level of 5 or above. The tray version of kudzu will grow normally in its tray. When harvested it will produce kudzu pods [[File:Kudzu.png]]. The kudzu pod is like any other fruit/vegetable and can be eaten or grinded. To create wild-spreading kudzu, you must put a kudzu pod into a seed extractor, which will create packs of kudzu seeds [[File:Kudzuseed.png]]. Then activate a kudzu seed in your hand to start planting wild-spreading kudzu on the floor. 
Some plant stats will affect the wild-spreading version of kudzu in specific ways:
*Potency of the seed will make kudzu mutate more on spread, the chance to mutate on each new piece is '''[potency / 10]'''
*Production will affect how fast the kudzu can spread, usual kudzu spreads at a rate of 20% of the amount of pieces per tick but no more than 30, production changes the cap '''[30 * production / 50]''' and the percent of processed pieces per tick '''[20 * (production / 50)]'''
Killing the last piece of kudzu will create a kudzu seed in its place with all the ackumulated mutations saved in the seed. So if you reactivate it, the new kudzu on the floor will have all the same mutations the seed had, and will spread it to all its progenitors. You can examine a wild kudzu to see what mutations it has. When mutating it typically changes color. 
Kudzu can gain mutations only on spread, here is the list of all of them:
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed">
Click expand to see Kudzu [[#Traits|traits]] and mutations:
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
*'''CO2 consumption''' - ''positive'' mutation, consumes CO2 from the air
*<s>'''Space covering''' - ''positive'' mutation, makes vines grow vine floors over space</s> Removed as of August 23 2017.
*'''Light''' - ''positive'' mutation, about 40% of the vines with this mutation emit light slightly more powerful than PDA
*'''Transparency''' - ''positive'' mutation, makes vines look-through
*'''Toxins consumption''' - ''positive'' mutation, absorbs plasma from the air
*<s>'''Bluespace vines''' - ''minor negative'' mutation, makes vines be able to grow through anything</s> Removed as of August 23 2017.
*'''Explosive''' - ''minor negative'' mutation, on death vines with this mutation explode with 0,0,2 power, so clusters of this vine will chain-explode one after another
*'''Fire resistant''' - ''minor negative'' mutation, makes vines ignore fire damage, be it plasma fires or welders
*'''Vine eating''' - ''minor negative'' mutation, vines with this mutation will eat vines without it
*'''Toxicity''' - ''negative'' mutation, eating vine with this mutation or walking thought it will cause you toxin damage
*'''Aggressive spreading''' - ''negative'' mutation, on spreading vines will cause effect of mini-explosion on the tile they spread to, mobs buckled by this vine will also experience effects akin to minor explosion
*'''O2 consumption''' - ''negative'' mutation, absorbs O2 from the air around
*'''N2 consumption''' - ''negative'' mutation, absorbs N2 from the air
*'''Thorns''' - ''negative'' mutation, makes mobs touching or going through vines recieve physical damage
*'''Hardening''' - ''negative'' mutation, makes vines not die fast from sharp objects, but makes non-sharp objects(hands included) be more effective agaisnt them, on the full maturation block the passage
*'''Flowering''' - ''negative'' mutation, makes vines very entangly and spawns harmful flowers occasionally, flowers after destruction spawn flower mob that is agressive and attacks

Adding special chemicals to the tray when the seeds are growing will affect the specific kudzu mutations:
*Adding ''5u'' of '''welding fuel''' will remove random ''positive'' mutation with a ''20%'' probability
*Adding ''5u'' of '''phenol''' will remove a random ''minor negative'' mutation with a ''20%'' probability
*Adding ''5u'' of '''sterilizine''' will remove a random ''negative'' mutation with a ''20%'' probability
* Adding ''15u'' of '''blood''' will change the production value of the seeds by a random number in the range from ''-5 to +15''
*Adding ''5u'' of '''amatoxin''' will change the production value of the seeds by a random number in the range from ''-15 to +5''
*Adding ''5u'' of '''plasma''' will change the potency value of the seeds by a random number in the range from ''-15 to +5''
*Adding ''10u'' of '''holy water''' will change a potency value of the seeds by a random number in the range from ''-5 to +15''

===Sandstone and Soil===
If you pick up the grass and use it (click on it in your hand), you will prepare astroturf. Get a crowbar and remove some floor tiles, then place astroturf in their place. In addition to looking nice, it can be used to get some sand. Just dig it with your spade and you'll get two piles. Now, pick up the sand and use it; you will make a sandstone brick. Using three bricks, you can make a soil plot, which is like a tray, except you can walk over it and there are no lights. You can also build a sandstone door with 10 bricks.

Science can [[Guide_to_advanced_construction#Hydroponics_Tray|build]] hydroponics trays. They can also upgrade them by replacing the matter bins, and this increases the water and nutrient capacity of the tray.
===Wood and Drying Racks===
First you need to get some tower-caps, grow them and harvest them. You can then use hatchet (and some other things, but it's not important) on the logs to chop some planks. They have many uses: you can make chairs, tables, wooden floors and so on. A unique thing here is a drying rack. You can use it to dry a plant, and then smoke it. First, build a rack with 10 planks. Then, grab a plant you want to dry and put it in the rack. Click on the rack and toggle drying so that the red arrows light up. Give it a few seconds and it's done.

Note: you can dry ''any'' plant, and smoking it will give you all chemicals that were in it. You can smoke dried apples if you want, and get nutriment from them.

===[[File:Wooden_barrel.png]] Fermentation Barrel===
You can craft wooden barrels with the crafting menu (under tribal), which requires 30 wood planks [[File:Planks.png]]. Clicking it will toggle it between open and closed. When open you can insert plants or liquid. When closed you can draw liquid by using a container on it. 
Inserting a plant into the barrel will ferment the plant after a few seconds (even if not closing it). This will grind the plant, adding all the plant's contained reagents to the barrel. But it can also add an additional reagent depending on plant used. Most plants will create a special [[Guide_to_food_and_drinks#Wine|wine]] with varied boozepower depending on plant used. Some plants will create other reagents than wine, and some plants will not work at all.
===Things You Can Make Out of Your Plants===
*Add some cable to a potato to make a potato battery. Botany cells have potential to be better than bluespace cells.
* Glowberries and glowshrooms, as the name suggests, glow.
*You can carve a pumpkin with a hatchet. Carved pumpkins can be worn and you can toggle them to emit a weak light.
*You can make a cob-pipe out of a corn cob.
*You can carve a carrot with a hatchet to make a shiv. It's not very strong but it's good at slicing things.
*Flowers and ambrosia can be worn on your head.
* Add dried ambrosia, wheat, tea aspera tips or tobacco leaves to a tower cap log to make a torch.
*Dried ambrosia, tobacco or any mutations of those are able to be smoked from wrapping paper, found in smoking vending machines. You can also grind them and put the liquid in an e-cig.
==Todo list for this guide==
*Add missing/fix outdated entries in the plant reference chart
*Add some icons and pictures to break up the wall of text
==Another guide==
Since Botany is relatively easy to learn but hard to master, here is an extra guide that focuses on a more practical, step-by-step point of view.
Also includes a lot of extra "recipes" for what you can turn your plants into.

== Basics of Botany ==
* '''(For the testmerge guide to new hydroponics, please read [[User:EvilDragon/Guide to space botanology]])'''
[[Hydroponics]] and the [[Botanist]]s who work there are important to the station, especially in longer rounds. Botanists grow plants that the [[Chef]] can use for food. Without botany, the station will have to live off of beef jerky and space twinkies, or starve to death.
=== Your Area ===
Hydroponics is divided into two rooms. The big section is where you'll spend most of your time growing goods. Trays are available where you grow plants and two vending machines, one with seeds and the other with miscellaneous items such as nutrients and tools for your job. The bio-generator can be used to grind plants and produce things for the station. In tandem is the seed dispenser used to reproduce your product. The northern area is where you can grab most of the equipment needed to work in botany.

Plants require nutrients (fertilizer) and water to grow. They are also bothered by pests and weeds. 
Trays come equipped with lights that flash specific colors to tell you what's happening with your plant.

From left to right -
* '''Green''': Ready to harvest.
* '''Red''': Low health, caused by weeds/pests/toxins/end of lifespan.
* '''Orange''': High weed level.
* '''Yellow''': Low nutrients.
* '''Blue''': Low water.
Tools that are of use in botany -
* {{anchor|Plant_Analyzer}}'''Plant Analyzer''': Shows detailed detailed plant statistics. Very useful for growing fragile plants like Ambrosia Deus.
* {{anchor|Cultivator}}'''Cultivator''': Kills Weeds.
* '''Plant Bag''': Collects up to 50 items or 100 seeds from your harvest. Useful for moving those into the fridge or biogenerator.
* '''Wrench''': Used to move your trays around.
* '''Wirecutters''': Used to set up the irrigation system. If 30u or more of water is put into trays while the irrigation is set up, water will be shared across trays. This will also distribute things like mutagen and plant killer.
* {{anchor|Hatchet}}'''Hatchet''': Chops tower-caps into planks, chops other things. This is also a robust tool that fits in pockets.
* {{anchor|Shovel}}'''Shovel''': Digs up grass floors and cleans dirt.
* {{anchor|Spade}}'''Spade''': Removes and destroys plants in a tray.
* '''All-In-One Grinder''': This is how you extract reagents from plants - throw them in and hit the "grind" button.
* '''Portable Seed Extractor''': This can harvest and pick up plants and turn up to 100 plants into seeds. Less efficient than the machine.
=== [[File:Seed_Extractor.gif|Seed Extractor]] Plant growing 101 ===
Take some seeds from the vendor and put them into the trays. Now, take a look at the tray with a plant analyzer. For now, you only need to pay attention to the bottom five stats - '''Water/Nutrition''' and '''Weeds/Toxic/Pest''' levels. 
Now, fill a bucket from the water tank and grab fertilizer from the vending machine. You get rid of weeds with the cultivator and remove pests with pest spray. [[Chemistry]] can give you better chemicals for this, which will be explained later in the guide. 
Some plants have a varied growth times, such as wheat growing faster while watermelons or apple trees take a little longer before you can harvest from them. 
Once your tray flashes green, you're set to harvest. If you want to replicate the plant to continue growing more, just insert it into the seed extractor. 
You can click seeds with a pen to change the name of the plant, the seed's description, or the plant's description. After planting in a hydroponics tray the tray updates with the name and description of the plant inside it.
=== [[File:Biogenerator.gif|Bio-generator]] Biogenerator ===
The Biogenerator makes items out of the nutriment in plants. As a rule of thumb: More nutriment = more biomass. Watermelons and pumpkins are commonly used due to their 20% nutriment boost [[#Traits|trait]]. 
To get biomass, grab a spare bucket and equip the machine with it, then use the plant bag to put fruits inside. 
If you somehow run out of fertilizer in the vendors, remember you can print the three standard fertilizers here. Keep in mind that you can craft a whole bunch of useful items from the leather/cloth sheets the biogenerator creates.
=== [[File:plant dna manip.gif]]DNA Extractor ===
The DNA extractor allows you to extract and modify seed stats and [[#Traits|traits]]. This machine is what lets you become a [[Chemist]] on speed.

This is a little complex, so look at: [[Guide_to_hydroponics#Advanced_Botany|Advanced Botany]]
== Stats, reagents and traits ==
Three things determine how your plant will turn out: Their '''stats''', '''reagents''' and '''[[#Traits|traits]]'''.
=== Stats ===
Stats determine whether your plants are small and grow slowly, or are big and fast-growing.
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed">
Click expand to see what stats do:
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
* '''Potency''': The most important stat (0 to 100). This affects the amount of chemicals in the plant, though some have additional effects, such as stun length for bananas. 
To get the amount of a given chemical in a plant, multiply the reagent in the chart by the potency: for example, 10% nutriment will be 5 nutriment at 50 potency.
* '''Yield''': How much product you get each harvest. Between 0 and 10. Pay attention to this, because if it drops to 0, you won't harvest anything.
* '''Production Speed''': How fast your plant reaches harvest. Between 1 and 10 -- the '''lower''' the faster. The plant has to wait (Production Speed) age cycles before each harvest.
* '''Maturation Speed''': Age cycles before the plant can start production. The first harvest will be (Maturation Speed + Production Speed).
* '''Lifespan''': When the age is above lifespan, the plant starts losing health. Between 10 and 100. Only important for plants with the Perennial Growth [[#Traits|trait]].
* '''Age''': Age of the plant. Only relevant in terms of the lifespan stat.
* '''Endurance''': Max health. Between 10 and 100. Not very useful, unless you leave your garden often.
* '''Weed growth rate''': Determines how quickly weeds grow in the plant tray. Only relevant with very high values.
* '''Weed vulnerability''': The higher, the more easily a plant is overtaken by weeds. Only relevant with very high values.
</div>
</div>
=== Reagents/Content ===
This determines what chemicals are present in a grown plant - the [[Guide_to_hydroponics#Advanced_Botany|DNA extractor]] lets you extract and splice these. 
With a bit of creativity, you can mix your own mutagen, produce unique healing chemicals or turn tomatoes into napalm grenades. Solid [[Guide_to_chemistry|Chemistry]] knowledge will help you out immensely. 
For a detailed list, check out: [[Guide_to_hydroponics#Plant reference chart|Plant reference chart]]
=== Traits ===
Traits give your plants unique properties. There are plenty - Perennial Growth for example lets you harvest plants multiple times. 
These can be transferred, just like reagents.

==[[File:Vendnutri.gif]] Chemicals==
A lot of chemicals influence plants - get these from the vending machine, [[Chemistry]] or by growing your own!
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-uncollapsed">
Click expand to see a list of chemicals:
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
===Fertilizers ===
*Nutriment: A fertilizer that adds 1 nutrient to the tray and heals the plant 0.5 health per unit added. You can get it by putting your plants and regular food in the grinder.
*[[Ammonia]]: Similar to nutriment, but also increases yield (25u to increase 1 yield). Get it from the [[Chemist]] or hack the Nutri-Vend to get this.
*[[Diethylamine]]: Adds 2 nutrient to the tray, heals the plant 1 health per unit added and increases yield (50u to increase 1 yield). Also kills pests. Get it the same way you get Ammonia.
* Saltpetre: Heals your plant, increases potency and decreases production time. Doesn't add nutrient to the tray.
*Robust Harvest: Adds 1 nutrient to the tray per unit, and permanently increases plant yield of the tray 30% (without mutating the plant). Doesn't work on plants with 0 yield. A tray can only have the modifiers of one of the three special fertilizers at a time (Robust Harvest, E-Z-Nutrient and Left 4 Zed).
===Pest Removal===
* Pest Killer: Kills pests, and adds a small amount of toxicity.
*Weed Killer: Same as above, but for Weeds.
===Mutation===
*E-Z-Nutrient: Makes your plant mutate once every time it's ready for harvesting, and resets the tray's yield modifier to x1 (if another special fertilizer had previously been used on the tray). A tray can only have the modifiers of one of the three special fertilizers at a time (Robust Harvest, E-Z-Nutrient and Left 4 Zed).
*Left 4 Zed: Makes your plant mutate twice, but the yield will permanently be 1 at best. If the plant's yield is 0, then nothing is produced! You'll have to use another mutagen to harvest the normal yield of the plant. A tray can only have the modifiers of one of the three special fertilizers at a time (Robust Harvest, E-Z-Nutrient and Left 4 Zed).
*[[Unstable Mutagen]]: Used to randomly mutate plants - 5u for a chance to change the plant type, 1u/2u to only change stats.
*Radium and Uranium: Also usable for mutation (10u for plant type, 2u/5u for stats), but damages plants and adds toxicity. Radium is more damaging.
===Plant Meds===
*[[Ash]]: Adds 0.5 nutrient to the tray, heals the plant 0.25 health per unit added and kills weeds.
*[[Guide_to_chemistry#Multiver|charcoal]]: Makes your plant less toxic. You can get it by whining to anyone who works in [[Medbay]].
*[[Cryoxadone]]: Heals your plant, via <s>miracles</s> science. Also lowers toxicity. Don't expect the [[Chemist]] to give this to you, but the medbay probably has extra beakers of this.
*Holy water: If you can get the [[Chaplain]]'s attention and make him bless your water, it will heal your plant a bit.
===Unorthodox chemicals===
*Soda Water: Mostly adds water, but also heals the plant and adds nutrient to the tray by a tiny amount.
*Milk: Adds some water and a tiny but of nutrient to the tray.
*Beer: Adds a bit of water and nutrient to the tray, but damages the plant a little.
*Blood: Feeds both your plant and pests.
*Virus Food: Adds nutrient to the tray while damaging the plant.
*Nicotine: Kills pests while adding toxicity.
===The bad stuff===
*Sugar: Makes pests and weeds grow stronger. Unless you [[Traitor|plan to use unstable mutagen to unleash giant spiders or Kudzu upon the station]], it's of no use.
* Toxin: Increases toxicity. Good job!
* Plant-B-Gone, Sulphuric Acid, Fluorosulfuric Acid: Damages the plant, adds toxicity and kills weeds. What do you think would happen?
* Fluorine, Chlorine: Same as above, but also drains water.
*Phosphorus: Same as Flourine/Chlorine, but adds nutrients to the tray instead of toxicity. Just use a spade.
*Napalm: Kills weeds, hurts plant and adds toxicity. This is just going downhill. Unless your plant has the fireproof [[#Traits|trait]], you might as well space the whole tray. On fireproof plants it will just kill weeds.
*[[Guide_to_chemistry#Strange_Reagent|Strange Reagent]]: Is supposed to spawn hostile plant creatures but currently doesn't work.

Bees greatly increase plant yield, potency and the probability of you getting lynched. Great stuff, and very useful even if you're no traitor!

1. Go to the locker in the back and take out the box of plant data disks. 
2. Load a disk into the machine along with any seed of choice. 
3. Extract any gene, this will destroy the seed and save it to the disk. 
4. Put in another seed. 
5. You can now modify the seed's stats and genes based on what's on the plant data disk. 
Obviously, this can be quite powerful in the right hands, and even for more basic tasks it can be a major boon.

It is worth noting, however, that the DNA manipulator has an upper limit on how high a stat can be when you try to extract it and save it to disk, and any stats higher than that will be brought down to that cap. Though these caps can be lowered or eliminated if you can get RnD to upgrade your machine, at round-start the caps are very bad, with certain stats like production speed being capped at a level worse than what nearly every plant has initially. [[#Traits|Traits]], on the other hand, can be extracted just fine no matter what parts are used.

Useful genes from default seeds:
*Wheat has a production speed of 1, the fastest possible.
*Tower-caps have very long lifespans (around 80), as well as potency and endurance stats of 50.
*Tobacco plants have a yield of 10, the cap for that stat.
*Apples have the perennial growth [[#Traits|trait]], which allows for you to get multiple harvests from a single plant.
*Watermelon has an endurance nearly on par with tower-caps, making it a good substitute when starting out so you can avoid using up all of your starting tower-cap seeds.
Some genes are unextractable.
 
===Mutations===
You can mutate plants to A) change stats or B) mutate them into a different subspecies. To do this in a timely manner, you'll need to work with the [[Chemistry]] department.
*The agonizingly slow way is using '''E-Z Nutriment''' to make the plant mutate once every time it's ready to harvest. '''Left 4 Zed''' makes it mutate twice, but kills the yield!

*You can speed up the process to bearable levels by asking your local [[Chemist]] for a few bottles of '''[[Guide_to_chemistry#Unstable Mutagen|Unstable Mutagen]]'''. 
Pour 5 units on your plant and prepare for...
*10% chance of '''mutation into a related species'''. This destroys the old plant and plants a new one. See the [[Guide_to_hydroponics#Plant reference chart|Plant reference chart]] for information on these mutations.
* 10% chance of the '''plant losing lots of health instantly'''. The plant can die because of this
*15% chance of '''heavy stat mutation''' with a 3% chance of a new [[#Traits|trait]] appearing.
*15% chance of '''normal stat mutation'''.
*20% chance of '''nothing'''. You get a message when this happens.
*10% chance of '''weeds mutating'''. If weed level is less than 5, nothing happens, otherwise you get a random, special mutated weed (Kudzu, Deathnettle, Destroying Angel, Liberty Cap).
*10% chance of '''pests mutating'''. Again, if pest level is less than 5, nothing happens. Otherwise, spiderlings are spawned.
** This is '''bad'''. If the spiderlings escape, they'll grow big and you'll likely get lynched.
Or, if you don't want to bother with species mutation, pour 2 units for a guaranteed heavy stat mutation with a 3% chance of a new [[#Traits|trait]] appearing, or even 1 for a guaranteed normal stat mutation. This method is safe even if you don't have backup seeds, and you can use a bottle for it.
*You can use '''radium''' and '''uranium''', but they cause ill effects, and if you can get radium, you can get mutagen.

*R&D can also research a wonderful thing called a '''Floral Somatoray'''. It has two options: increase yield and mutate the plant. In yield more mode, every time you fire it at the plant, there is a chance the yield will increase. The chance becomes very small when you reach high levels, but it's very useful for low-yield plants. It can even raise yield from zero! In mutation mode, it will always induce a normal stat mutation.
===Fixing awful stats===
Mutating plants has a chance of really ruining stats. Luckily, there are a few ways to fix them:
*Unstable Mutagen. Using 1u slightly changes stats, 2u has more drastic effects.
* Saltpetre. Increases potency and decreases production time.
*Ammonia. Increases yield.
*Floral Somatoray. Increases yield and works as a substitute for Unstable Mutagen.
===Dude weeds ===
Trays, whether empty or occupied by plants, can be occasionally overtaken by a weed if their level is 5 or more. In that case the old plant is destroyed, and a new one will sprout in its place.

Possible plants include:
*1/6 chance for Reishi/Starshittle.
*1/9 chance for Nettle/Harebell/Amanita/Chanterelle/Tower Cap/Plump Helmets
Using 5u of unstable mutagen on high weed level trays results in different plants:
*Kudzu, Deathnettle, Destroying Angel, Liberty Cap
==Other Notes==

===[[file:Bottle.png]] Growing your own mutagen===
Not robust enough to steal a chem dispenser? Try this out.
*First, plant pumpkins and mutate them into blumpkins.
*Now, insert their Chlorine production [[#Traits|trait]] into glowshrooms and remove the Nutriment one.
*That's it! You now have a plant that grows unstable mutagen - just pop the produce into the grinder.
*You might want to add Densified Chemicals from Redbeets as well as Perennial Growth to optimize your harvest.
===[[File:Dispenser.png]] Other ways to mutagen===
Chemistry is <s>busy curing the plague</s> too high to help you out?
*<s>Bad idea: Steal a chem dispenser. This will start a blood feud and is one of the biggest reasons why Botanists are hated by some. Think of it as someone stealing all your plant trays.</s>
*<s>Better: Ask Medbay to print you a spare chem dispenser board. After very basic research (Biological Technology), the medical protolathe is able to print chem dispenser boards.</s>
*<s>Or: Grab the spare chem dispenser board from tech storage. The AI, silicons and all members of the Engineering department can let you in.</s>
*<s>For stock parts: Print them from a public autolathe (if such has been built) or ask RnD/Engineering for a part replacer with stock parts. The parts are: 2 matter bins, 1 capacitor, 1 micro-manipulator, 1 power cell, 1 glass sheet. </s>
*<s>For stock parts you can also disassemble a hydroponics tray and a cell charger. A cell can then be found or gotten from disassembling a cyborg recharger.</s>
*Just use your Minor Botanical Chem Dispenser. It can give you mutagen, saltpetre and water roundstart and with t4 parts you can get plantbgone, weedkiller, pestkiller and diethylamine.
===[[file:Ambrosia_gaia.png]] Upgrading plant trays===
Composting enough plants that contain Earthsblood (20 units from plants like [[#Ambrosia gaia|Ambrosia Gaia]]) into a tray will give it a golden shine. Now it will no longer require water, fertilizer or weed/pest removal.

This is great in combination with plants that have the Perennial Growth [[#Traits|trait]]! A lot of Botanists will upgrade their trays before getting started with actual hydroponics.

Upgraded trays permanently contain the last fertilizer you used before the upgrade. Robust Harvest is usually the best choice.

Instead of keeping the original Gaia plant that most likely has gimped stats - insert the Earthsblood production [[#Traits|trait]] into a more robust plant.

If your DNA extractor hasn't been upgraded yet: Wheat has a production speed of 1 and good overall stats. If you're lucky, your station will have 50 potency Wheat bushels just lying around at roundstart.

You can speed up the process by removing all contents but Earthsblood production and adding the Densified Chemicals (Redbeet) [[#Traits|trait]].
===[[file:Replicapodplant.png]] Replica Pod Cloning===
Replica pods can be used to grow dead people back to life - even when their brain and head are missing.

To clone someone, follow these simple steps:
*Take a blood sample from the body using a syringe.
*Inject it into the bag of seeds.
*Plant the seeds.
*Let the plant grow and then harvest it.
* If the ghost of the corpse is still online, and did not turn on "Do not Resuscitate", that person will be cloned as a [[Podman]].
*If there was no ghost available, the resulting harvest will simply produce a new pack of seeds.
The [[Podman|podmen]] are a little different from normal humans. E.g. they regenerate in light but suffer in darkness and don't get attacked by bees.

Cabbage can be mutated into Replica Pod.
===Strange Seeds===
Strange seeds (from hacked vendors or cargo crates) have completely random reagents and [[#Traits|traits]].

Notable examples are:
* Gaseous Decomposition
*Nitroglycerin
*Microbes (Fungal Tuberculosis)
*Any drink, like Gin Tonic or Beepsky Smash
*Glitter
*Plasmaman Mutation Toxin
*Hell Water
Of course, this is pretty gimmicky and unreliable.
===[[file:Kudzuplant.png]] Kudzu {{anchor|Kudzu}}===
Kudzu is a weed that can appear when adding 5u [[Guide_to_chemistry#Unstable Mutagen|Unstable Mutagen]] to a tray with a weed level of 5 or above. The tray version of kudzu will grow normally in its tray. When harvested it will produce kudzu pods [[File:Kudzu.png]]. The kudzu pod is like any other fruit/vegetable and can be eaten or grinded. To create wild-spreading kudzu, you must put a kudzu pod into a seed extractor, which will create packs of kudzu seeds [[File:Kudzuseed.png]]. Then activate a kudzu seed in your hand to start planting wild-spreading kudzu on the floor. 
Some plant stats will affect the wild-spreading version of kudzu in specific ways:
*Potency of the seed will make kudzu mutate more on spread, the chance to mutate on each new piece is '''[potency / 10]'''
*Production will affect how fast the kudzu can spread, usual kudzu spreads at a rate of 20% of the amount of pieces per tick but no more than 30, production changes the cap '''[30 * production / 50]''' and the percent of processed pieces per tick '''[20 * (production / 50)]'''
Killing the last piece of kudzu will create a kudzu seed in its place with all the ackumulated mutations saved in the seed. So if you reactivate it, the new kudzu on the floor will have all the same mutations the seed had, and will spread it to all its progenitors. You can examine a wild kudzu to see what mutations it has. When mutating it typically changes color. 
Kudzu can gain mutations only on spread, here is the list of all of them:
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed">
Click expand to see Kudzu [[#Traits|traits]] and mutations:
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
*'''CO2 consumption''' - ''positive'' mutation, consumes CO2 from the air
*<s>'''Space covering''' - ''positive'' mutation, makes vines grow vine floors over space</s> Removed as of August 23 2017.
*'''Light''' - ''positive'' mutation, about 40% of the vines with this mutation emit light slightly more powerful than PDA
*'''Transparency''' - ''positive'' mutation, makes vines look-through
*'''Toxins consumption''' - ''positive'' mutation, absorbs plasma from the air
*<s>'''Bluespace vines''' - ''minor negative'' mutation, makes vines be able to grow through anything</s> Removed as of August 23 2017.
*'''Explosive''' - ''minor negative'' mutation, on death vines with this mutation explode with 0,0,2 power, so clusters of this vine will chain-explode one after another
*'''Fire resistant''' - ''minor negative'' mutation, makes vines ignore fire damage, be it plasma fires or welders
*'''Vine eating''' - ''minor negative'' mutation, vines with this mutation will eat vines without it
*'''Toxicity''' - ''negative'' mutation, eating vine with this mutation or walking thought it will cause you toxin damage
*'''Aggressive spreading''' - ''negative'' mutation, on spreading vines will cause effect of mini-explosion on the tile they spread to, mobs buckled by this vine will also experience effects akin to minor explosion
*'''O2 consumption''' - ''negative'' mutation, absorbs O2 from the air around
*'''N2 consumption''' - ''negative'' mutation, absorbs N2 from the air
*'''Thorns''' - ''negative'' mutation, makes mobs touching or going through vines recieve physical damage
*'''Hardening''' - ''negative'' mutation, makes vines not die fast from sharp objects, but makes non-sharp objects(hands included) be more effective agaisnt them, on the full maturation block the passage
*'''Flowering''' - ''negative'' mutation, makes vines very entangly and spawns harmful flowers occasionally, flowers after destruction spawn flower mob that is agressive and attacks

Adding special chemicals to the tray when the seeds are growing will affect the specific kudzu mutations:
*Adding ''5u'' of '''welding fuel''' will remove random ''positive'' mutation with a ''20%'' probability
*Adding ''5u'' of '''phenol''' will remove a random ''minor negative'' mutation with a ''20%'' probability
*Adding ''5u'' of '''sterilizine''' will remove a random ''negative'' mutation with a ''20%'' probability
* Adding ''15u'' of '''blood''' will change the production value of the seeds by a random number in the range from ''-5 to +15''
*Adding ''5u'' of '''amatoxin''' will change the production value of the seeds by a random number in the range from ''-15 to +5''
*Adding ''5u'' of '''plasma''' will change the potency value of the seeds by a random number in the range from ''-15 to +5''
*Adding ''10u'' of '''holy water''' will change a potency value of the seeds by a random number in the range from ''-5 to +15''

===Sandstone and Soil===
If you pick up the grass and use it (click on it in your hand), you will prepare astroturf. Get a crowbar and remove some floor tiles, then place astroturf in their place. In addition to looking nice, it can be used to get some sand. Just dig it with your spade and you'll get two piles. Now, pick up the sand and use it; you will make a sandstone brick. Using three bricks, you can make a soil plot, which is like a tray, except you can walk over it and there are no lights. You can also build a sandstone door with 10 bricks.

Science can [[Guide_to_advanced_construction#Hydroponics_Tray|build]] hydroponics trays. They can also upgrade them by replacing the matter bins, and this increases the water and nutrient capacity of the tray.
===Wood and Drying Racks===
First you need to get some tower-caps, grow them and harvest them. You can then use hatchet (and some other things, but it's not important) on the logs to chop some planks. They have many uses: you can make chairs, tables, wooden floors and so on. A unique thing here is a drying rack. You can use it to dry a plant, and then smoke it. First, build a rack with 10 planks. Then, grab a plant you want to dry and put it in the rack. Click on the rack and toggle drying so that the red arrows light up. Give it a few seconds and it's done.

Note: you can dry ''any'' plant, and smoking it will give you all chemicals that were in it. You can smoke dried apples if you want, and get nutriment from them.

===[[File:Wooden_barrel.png]] Fermentation Barrel===
You can craft wooden barrels with the crafting menu (under tribal), which requires 30 wood planks [[File:Planks.png]]. Clicking it will toggle it between open and closed. When open you can insert plants or liquid. When closed you can draw liquid by using a container on it. 
Inserting a plant into the barrel will ferment the plant after a few seconds (even if not closing it). This will grind the plant, adding all the plant's contained reagents to the barrel. But it can also add an additional reagent depending on plant used. Most plants will create a special [[Guide_to_food_and_drinks#Wine|wine]] with varied boozepower depending on plant used. Some plants will create other reagents than wine, and some plants will not work at all.
===Things You Can Make Out of Your Plants===
*Add some cable to a potato to make a potato battery. Botany cells have potential to be better than bluespace cells.
* Glowberries and glowshrooms, as the name suggests, glow.
*You can carve a pumpkin with a hatchet. Carved pumpkins can be worn and you can toggle them to emit a weak light.
*You can make a cob-pipe out of a corn cob.
*You can carve a carrot with a hatchet to make a shiv. It's not very strong but it's good at slicing things.
*Flowers and ambrosia can be worn on your head.
* Add dried ambrosia, wheat, tea aspera tips or tobacco leaves to a tower cap log to make a torch.
*Dried ambrosia, tobacco or any mutations of those are able to be smoked from wrapping paper, found in smoking vending machines. You can also grind them and put the liquid in an e-cig.
==Todo list for this guide==
*Add missing/fix outdated entries in the plant reference chart
*Add some icons and pictures to break up the wall of text

Since Botany is relatively easy to learn but hard to master, here is an extra guide that focuses on a more practical, step-by-step point of view.
Also includes a lot of extra "recipes" for what you can turn your plants into.

== Basics of Botany ==
* '''(For the testmerge guide to new hydroponics, please read [[User:EvilDragon/Guide to space botanology]])'''
[[Hydroponics]] and the [[Botanist]]s who work there are important to the station, especially in longer rounds. Botanists grow plants that the [[Chef]] can use for food. Without botany, the station will have to live off of beef jerky and space twinkies, or starve to death.
=== Your Area ===
Hydroponics is divided into two rooms. The big section is where you'll spend most of your time growing goods. Trays are available where you grow plants and two vending machines, one with seeds and the other with miscellaneous items such as nutrients and tools for your job. The bio-generator can be used to grind plants and produce things for the station. In tandem is the seed dispenser used to reproduce your product. The northern area is where you can grab most of the equipment needed to work in botany.

Plants require nutrients (fertilizer) and water to grow. They are also bothered by pests and weeds. 
Trays come equipped with lights that flash specific colors to tell you what's happening with your plant.

From left to right -
* '''Green''': Ready to harvest.
* '''Red''': Low health, caused by weeds/pests/toxins/end of lifespan.
* '''Orange''': High weed level.
* '''Yellow''': Low nutrients.
* '''Blue''': Low water.
Tools that are of use in botany -
* {{anchor|Plant_Analyzer}}'''Plant Analyzer''': Shows detailed detailed plant statistics. Very useful for growing fragile plants like Ambrosia Deus.
* {{anchor|Cultivator}}'''Cultivator''': Kills Weeds.
* '''Plant Bag''': Collects up to 50 items or 100 seeds from your harvest. Useful for moving those into the fridge or biogenerator.
* '''Wrench''': Used to move your trays around.
* '''Wirecutters''': Used to set up the irrigation system. If 30u or more of water is put into trays while the irrigation is set up, water will be shared across trays. This will also distribute things like mutagen and plant killer.
* {{anchor|Hatchet}}'''Hatchet''': Chops tower-caps into planks, chops other things. This is also a robust tool that fits in pockets.
* {{anchor|Shovel}}'''Shovel''': Digs up grass floors and cleans dirt.
* {{anchor|Spade}}'''Spade''': Removes and destroys plants in a tray.
* '''All-In-One Grinder''': This is how you extract reagents from plants - throw them in and hit the "grind" button.
* '''Portable Seed Extractor''': This can harvest and pick up plants and turn up to 100 plants into seeds. Less efficient than the machine.
=== [[File:Seed_Extractor.gif|Seed Extractor]] Plant growing 101 ===
Take some seeds from the vendor and put them into the trays. Now, take a look at the tray with a plant analyzer. For now, you only need to pay attention to the bottom five stats - '''Water/Nutrition''' and '''Weeds/Toxic/Pest''' levels. 
Now, fill a bucket from the water tank and grab fertilizer from the vending machine. You get rid of weeds with the cultivator and remove pests with pest spray. [[Chemistry]] can give you better chemicals for this, which will be explained later in the guide. 
Some plants have a varied growth times, such as wheat growing faster while watermelons or apple trees take a little longer before you can harvest from them. 
Once your tray flashes green, you're set to harvest. If you want to replicate the plant to continue growing more, just insert it into the seed extractor. 
You can click seeds with a pen to change the name of the plant, the seed's description, or the plant's description. After planting in a hydroponics tray the tray updates with the name and description of the plant inside it.
=== [[File:Biogenerator.gif|Bio-generator]] Biogenerator ===
The Biogenerator makes items out of the nutriment in plants. As a rule of thumb: More nutriment = more biomass. Watermelons and pumpkins are commonly used due to their 20% nutriment boost [[#Traits|trait]]. 
To get biomass, grab a spare bucket and equip the machine with it, then use the plant bag to put fruits inside. 
If you somehow run out of fertilizer in the vendors, remember you can print the three standard fertilizers here. Keep in mind that you can craft a whole bunch of useful items from the leather/cloth sheets the biogenerator creates.
=== [[File:plant dna manip.gif]]DNA Extractor ===
The DNA extractor allows you to extract and modify seed stats and [[#Traits|traits]]. This machine is what lets you become a [[Chemist]] on speed.

This is a little complex, so look at: [[Guide_to_hydroponics#Advanced_Botany|Advanced Botany]]
== Stats, reagents and traits ==
Three things determine how your plant will turn out: Their '''stats''', '''reagents''' and '''[[#Traits|traits]]'''.
=== Stats ===
Stats determine whether your plants are small and grow slowly, or are big and fast-growing.
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed">
Click expand to see what stats do:
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
* '''Potency''': The most important stat (0 to 100). This affects the amount of chemicals in the plant, though some have additional effects, such as stun length for bananas. 
To get the amount of a given chemical in a plant, multiply the reagent in the chart by the potency: for example, 10% nutriment will be 5 nutriment at 50 potency.
* '''Yield''': How much product you get each harvest. Between 0 and 10. Pay attention to this, because if it drops to 0, you won't harvest anything.
* '''Production Speed''': How fast your plant reaches harvest. Between 1 and 10 -- the '''lower''' the faster. The plant has to wait (Production Speed) age cycles before each harvest.
* '''Maturation Speed''': Age cycles before the plant can start production. The first harvest will be (Maturation Speed + Production Speed).
* '''Lifespan''': When the age is above lifespan, the plant starts losing health. Between 10 and 100. Only important for plants with the Perennial Growth [[#Traits|trait]].
* '''Age''': Age of the plant. Only relevant in terms of the lifespan stat.
* '''Endurance''': Max health. Between 10 and 100. Not very useful, unless you leave your garden often.
* '''Weed growth rate''': Determines how quickly weeds grow in the plant tray. Only relevant with very high values.
* '''Weed vulnerability''': The higher, the more easily a plant is overtaken by weeds. Only relevant with very high values.
</div>
</div>
=== Reagents/Content ===
This determines what chemicals are present in a grown plant - the [[Guide_to_hydroponics#Advanced_Botany|DNA extractor]] lets you extract and splice these. 
With a bit of creativity, you can mix your own mutagen, produce unique healing chemicals or turn tomatoes into napalm grenades. Solid [[Guide_to_chemistry|Chemistry]] knowledge will help you out immensely. 
For a detailed list, check out: [[Guide_to_hydroponics#Plant reference chart|Plant reference chart]]
=== Traits ===
Traits give your plants unique properties. There are plenty - Perennial Growth for example lets you harvest plants multiple times. 
These can be transferred, just like reagents.

==[[File:Vendnutri.gif]] Chemicals==
A lot of chemicals influence plants - get these from the vending machine, [[Chemistry]] or by growing your own!
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-uncollapsed">
Click expand to see a list of chemicals:
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
===Fertilizers ===
*Nutriment: A fertilizer that adds 1 nutrient to the tray and heals the plant 0.5 health per unit added. You can get it by putting your plants and regular food in the grinder.
*[[Ammonia]]: Similar to nutriment, but also increases yield (25u to increase 1 yield). Get it from the [[Chemist]] or hack the Nutri-Vend to get this.
*[[Diethylamine]]: Adds 2 nutrient to the tray, heals the plant 1 health per unit added and increases yield (50u to increase 1 yield). Also kills pests. Get it the same way you get Ammonia.
* Saltpetre: Heals your plant, increases potency and decreases production time. Doesn't add nutrient to the tray.
* Robust Harvest: Adds 1 nutrient to the tray per unit, and permanently increases plant yield of the tray 30% (without mutating the plant). Doesn't work on plants with 0 yield. A tray can only have the modifiers of one of the three special fertilizers at a time (Robust Harvest, E-Z-Nutrient and Left 4 Zed).
===Pest Removal===
*Pest Killer: Kills pests, and adds a small amount of toxicity.
*Weed Killer: Same as above, but for Weeds.
=== Mutation ===
*E-Z-Nutrient: Makes your plant mutate once every time it's ready for harvesting, and resets the tray's yield modifier to x1 (if another special fertilizer had previously been used on the tray). A tray can only have the modifiers of one of the three special fertilizers at a time (Robust Harvest, E-Z-Nutrient and Left 4 Zed).
*Left 4 Zed: Makes your plant mutate twice, but the yield will permanently be 1 at best. If the plant's yield is 0, then nothing is produced! You'll have to use another mutagen to harvest the normal yield of the plant. A tray can only have the modifiers of one of the three special fertilizers at a time (Robust Harvest, E-Z-Nutrient and Left 4 Zed).
*[[Unstable Mutagen]]: Used to randomly mutate plants - 5u for a chance to change the plant type, 1u/2u to only change stats.
* Radium and Uranium: Also usable for mutation (10u for plant type, 2u/5u for stats), but damages plants and adds toxicity. Radium is more damaging.
===Plant Meds===
*[[Ash]]: Adds 0.5 nutrient to the tray, heals the plant 0.25 health per unit added and kills weeds.
*[[Guide_to_chemistry#Multiver|charcoal]]: Makes your plant less toxic. You can get it by whining to anyone who works in [[Medbay]].
*[[Cryoxadone]]: Heals your plant, via <s>miracles</s> science. Also lowers toxicity. Don't expect the [[Chemist]] to give this to you, but the medbay probably has extra beakers of this.
*Holy water: If you can get the [[Chaplain]]'s attention and make him bless your water, it will heal your plant a bit.
===Unorthodox chemicals===
*Soda Water: Mostly adds water, but also heals the plant and adds nutrient to the tray by a tiny amount.
*Milk: Adds some water and a tiny but of nutrient to the tray.
*Beer: Adds a bit of water and nutrient to the tray, but damages the plant a little.
*Blood: Feeds both your plant and pests.
*Virus Food: Adds nutrient to the tray while damaging the plant.
*Nicotine: Kills pests while adding toxicity.
===The bad stuff ===
* Sugar: Makes pests and weeds grow stronger. Unless you [[Traitor|plan to use unstable mutagen to unleash giant spiders or Kudzu upon the station]], it's of no use.
*Toxin: Increases toxicity. Good job!
*Plant-B-Gone, Sulphuric Acid, Fluorosulfuric Acid: Damages the plant, adds toxicity and kills weeds. What do you think would happen?
*Fluorine, Chlorine: Same as above, but also drains water.
*Phosphorus: Same as Flourine/Chlorine, but adds nutrients to the tray instead of toxicity. Just use a spade.
*Napalm: Kills weeds, hurts plant and adds toxicity. This is just going downhill. Unless your plant has the fireproof [[#Traits|trait]], you might as well space the whole tray. On fireproof plants it will just kill weeds.
*[[Guide_to_chemistry#Strange_Reagent|Strange Reagent]]: Is supposed to spawn hostile plant creatures but currently doesn't work.

==[[File:Apiary.png|Beekeeping]] [[Beekeeping]]==
Bees greatly increase plant yield, potency and the probability of you getting lynched. Great stuff, and very useful even if you're no traitor!

[[File:Bee.gif]] [[Beekeeping|For more info, click here for the guide on beepeeking.]] [[File:Bee.gif]]

==Advanced Botany==
This is where you get to PLAY GOD and mess with the stats, reagents and [[#Traits|traits]] of plants. 
===Using the DNA manipulator===
1. Go to the locker in the back and take out the box of plant data disks. 
2. Load a disk into the machine along with any seed of choice. 
3. Extract any gene, this will destroy the seed and save it to the disk. 
4. Put in another seed. 
5. You can now modify the seed's stats and genes based on what's on the plant data disk. 
Obviously, this can be quite powerful in the right hands, and even for more basic tasks it can be a major boon.

It is worth noting, however, that the DNA manipulator has an upper limit on how high a stat can be when you try to extract it and save it to disk, and any stats higher than that will be brought down to that cap. Though these caps can be lowered or eliminated if you can get RnD to upgrade your machine, at round-start the caps are very bad, with certain stats like production speed being capped at a level worse than what nearly every plant has initially. [[#Traits|Traits]], on the other hand, can be extracted just fine no matter what parts are used.

Useful genes from default seeds:
*Wheat has a production speed of 1, the fastest possible.
*Tower-caps have very long lifespans (around 80), as well as potency and endurance stats of 50.
* Tobacco plants have a yield of 10, the cap for that stat.
*Apples have the perennial growth [[#Traits|trait]], which allows for you to get multiple harvests from a single plant.
* Watermelon has an endurance nearly on par with tower-caps, making it a good substitute when starting out so you can avoid using up all of your starting tower-cap seeds.
Some genes are unextractable.
 
===Mutations ===
You can mutate plants to A) change stats or B) mutate them into a different subspecies. To do this in a timely manner, you'll need to work with the [[Chemistry]] department.
*The agonizingly slow way is using '''E-Z Nutriment''' to make the plant mutate once every time it's ready to harvest. '''Left 4 Zed''' makes it mutate twice, but kills the yield!

*You can speed up the process to bearable levels by asking your local [[Chemist]] for a few bottles of '''[[Guide_to_chemistry#Unstable Mutagen|Unstable Mutagen]]'''. 
Pour 5 units on your plant and prepare for...
*10% chance of '''mutation into a related species'''. This destroys the old plant and plants a new one. See the [[Guide_to_hydroponics#Plant reference chart|Plant reference chart]] for information on these mutations.
*10% chance of the '''plant losing lots of health instantly'''. The plant can die because of this
*15% chance of '''heavy stat mutation''' with a 3% chance of a new [[#Traits|trait]] appearing.
*15% chance of '''normal stat mutation'''.
*20% chance of '''nothing'''. You get a message when this happens.
* 10% chance of '''weeds mutating'''. If weed level is less than 5, nothing happens, otherwise you get a random, special mutated weed (Kudzu, Deathnettle, Destroying Angel, Liberty Cap).
*10% chance of '''pests mutating'''. Again, if pest level is less than 5, nothing happens. Otherwise, spiderlings are spawned.
**This is '''bad'''. If the spiderlings escape, they'll grow big and you'll likely get lynched.
Or, if you don't want to bother with species mutation, pour 2 units for a guaranteed heavy stat mutation with a 3% chance of a new [[#Traits|trait]] appearing, or even 1 for a guaranteed normal stat mutation. This method is safe even if you don't have backup seeds, and you can use a bottle for it.
*You can use '''radium''' and '''uranium''', but they cause ill effects, and if you can get radium, you can get mutagen.

*R&D can also research a wonderful thing called a '''Floral Somatoray'''. It has two options: increase yield and mutate the plant. In yield more mode, every time you fire it at the plant, there is a chance the yield will increase. The chance becomes very small when you reach high levels, but it's very useful for low-yield plants. It can even raise yield from zero! In mutation mode, it will always induce a normal stat mutation.
===Fixing awful stats ===
Mutating plants has a chance of really ruining stats. Luckily, there are a few ways to fix them:
* Unstable Mutagen. Using 1u slightly changes stats, 2u has more drastic effects.
*Saltpetre. Increases potency and decreases production time.
*Ammonia. Increases yield.
* Floral Somatoray. Increases yield and works as a substitute for Unstable Mutagen.
===Dude weeds===
Trays, whether empty or occupied by plants, can be occasionally overtaken by a weed if their level is 5 or more. In that case the old plant is destroyed, and a new one will sprout in its place.

Possible plants include:
* 1/6 chance for Reishi/Starshittle.
*1/9 chance for Nettle/Harebell/Amanita/Chanterelle/Tower Cap/Plump Helmets
Using 5u of unstable mutagen on high weed level trays results in different plants:
* Kudzu, Deathnettle, Destroying Angel, Liberty Cap
== Other Notes==

===[[file:Bottle.png]] Growing your own mutagen===
Not robust enough to steal a chem dispenser? Try this out.
*First, plant pumpkins and mutate them into blumpkins.
*Now, insert their Chlorine production [[#Traits|trait]] into glowshrooms and remove the Nutriment one.
*That's it! You now have a plant that grows unstable mutagen - just pop the produce into the grinder.
*You might want to add Densified Chemicals from Redbeets as well as Perennial Growth to optimize your harvest.
===[[File:Dispenser.png]] Other ways to mutagen===
Chemistry is <s>busy curing the plague</s> too high to help you out?
*<s>Bad idea: Steal a chem dispenser. This will start a blood feud and is one of the biggest reasons why Botanists are hated by some. Think of it as someone stealing all your plant trays.</s>
*<s>Better: Ask Medbay to print you a spare chem dispenser board. After very basic research (Biological Technology), the medical protolathe is able to print chem dispenser boards.</s>
* <s>Or: Grab the spare chem dispenser board from tech storage. The AI, silicons and all members of the Engineering department can let you in.</s>
*<s>For stock parts: Print them from a public autolathe (if such has been built) or ask RnD/Engineering for a part replacer with stock parts. The parts are: 2 matter bins, 1 capacitor, 1 micro-manipulator, 1 power cell, 1 glass sheet. </s>
*<s>For stock parts you can also disassemble a hydroponics tray and a cell charger. A cell can then be found or gotten from disassembling a cyborg recharger.</s>
*Just use your Minor Botanical Chem Dispenser. It can give you mutagen, saltpetre and water roundstart and with t4 parts you can get plantbgone, weedkiller, pestkiller and diethylamine.
===[[file:Ambrosia_gaia.png]] Upgrading plant trays ===
Composting enough plants that contain Earthsblood (20 units from plants like [[#Ambrosia gaia|Ambrosia Gaia]]) into a tray will give it a golden shine. Now it will no longer require water, fertilizer or weed/pest removal.

This is great in combination with plants that have the Perennial Growth [[#Traits|trait]]! A lot of Botanists will upgrade their trays before getting started with actual hydroponics.

Upgraded trays permanently contain the last fertilizer you used before the upgrade. Robust Harvest is usually the best choice.

Instead of keeping the original Gaia plant that most likely has gimped stats - insert the Earthsblood production [[#Traits|trait]] into a more robust plant.

If your DNA extractor hasn't been upgraded yet: Wheat has a production speed of 1 and good overall stats. If you're lucky, your station will have 50 potency Wheat bushels just lying around at roundstart.

You can speed up the process by removing all contents but Earthsblood production and adding the Densified Chemicals (Redbeet) [[#Traits|trait]].
===[[file:Replicapodplant.png]] Replica Pod Cloning===
Replica pods can be used to grow dead people back to life - even when their brain and head are missing.

To clone someone, follow these simple steps:
*Take a blood sample from the body using a syringe.
*Inject it into the bag of seeds.
*Plant the seeds.
*Let the plant grow and then harvest it.
*If the ghost of the corpse is still online, and did not turn on "Do not Resuscitate", that person will be cloned as a [[Podman]].
*If there was no ghost available, the resulting harvest will simply produce a new pack of seeds.
The [[Podman|podmen]] are a little different from normal humans. E.g. they regenerate in light but suffer in darkness and don't get attacked by bees.

Cabbage can be mutated into Replica Pod.
===Strange Seeds===
Strange seeds (from hacked vendors or cargo crates) have completely random reagents and [[#Traits|traits]].

Notable examples are:
*Gaseous Decomposition
*Nitroglycerin
*Microbes (Fungal Tuberculosis)
*Any drink, like Gin Tonic or Beepsky Smash
*Glitter
*Plasmaman Mutation Toxin
*Hell Water
Of course, this is pretty gimmicky and unreliable.
===[[file:Kudzuplant.png]] Kudzu {{anchor|Kudzu}}===
Kudzu is a weed that can appear when adding 5u [[Guide_to_chemistry#Unstable Mutagen|Unstable Mutagen]] to a tray with a weed level of 5 or above. The tray version of kudzu will grow normally in its tray. When harvested it will produce kudzu pods [[File:Kudzu.png]]. The kudzu pod is like any other fruit/vegetable and can be eaten or grinded. To create wild-spreading kudzu, you must put a kudzu pod into a seed extractor, which will create packs of kudzu seeds [[File:Kudzuseed.png]]. Then activate a kudzu seed in your hand to start planting wild-spreading kudzu on the floor. 
Some plant stats will affect the wild-spreading version of kudzu in specific ways:
*Potency of the seed will make kudzu mutate more on spread, the chance to mutate on each new piece is '''[potency / 10]'''
*Production will affect how fast the kudzu can spread, usual kudzu spreads at a rate of 20% of the amount of pieces per tick but no more than 30, production changes the cap '''[30 * production / 50]''' and the percent of processed pieces per tick '''[20 * (production / 50)]'''
Killing the last piece of kudzu will create a kudzu seed in its place with all the ackumulated mutations saved in the seed. So if you reactivate it, the new kudzu on the floor will have all the same mutations the seed had, and will spread it to all its progenitors. You can examine a wild kudzu to see what mutations it has. When mutating it typically changes color. 
Kudzu can gain mutations only on spread, here is the list of all of them:
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed">
Click expand to see Kudzu [[#Traits|traits]] and mutations:
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
* '''CO2 consumption''' - ''positive'' mutation, consumes CO2 from the air
*<s>'''Space covering''' - ''positive'' mutation, makes vines grow vine floors over space</s> Removed as of August 23 2017.
*'''Light''' - ''positive'' mutation, about 40% of the vines with this mutation emit light slightly more powerful than PDA
*'''Transparency''' - ''positive'' mutation, makes vines look-through
* '''Toxins consumption''' - ''positive'' mutation, absorbs plasma from the air
*<s>'''Bluespace vines''' - ''minor negative'' mutation, makes vines be able to grow through anything</s> Removed as of August 23 2017.
*'''Explosive''' - ''minor negative'' mutation, on death vines with this mutation explode with 0,0,2 power, so clusters of this vine will chain-explode one after another
*'''Fire resistant''' - ''minor negative'' mutation, makes vines ignore fire damage, be it plasma fires or welders
*'''Vine eating''' - ''minor negative'' mutation, vines with this mutation will eat vines without it
*'''Toxicity''' - ''negative'' mutation, eating vine with this mutation or walking thought it will cause you toxin damage
*'''Aggressive spreading''' - ''negative'' mutation, on spreading vines will cause effect of mini-explosion on the tile they spread to, mobs buckled by this vine will also experience effects akin to minor explosion
* '''O2 consumption''' - ''negative'' mutation, absorbs O2 from the air around
*'''N2 consumption''' - ''negative'' mutation, absorbs N2 from the air
*'''Thorns''' - ''negative'' mutation, makes mobs touching or going through vines recieve physical damage
*'''Hardening''' - ''negative'' mutation, makes vines not die fast from sharp objects, but makes non-sharp objects(hands included) be more effective agaisnt them, on the full maturation block the passage
*'''Flowering''' - ''negative'' mutation, makes vines very entangly and spawns harmful flowers occasionally, flowers after destruction spawn flower mob that is agressive and attacks

Adding special chemicals to the tray when the seeds are growing will affect the specific kudzu mutations:
*Adding ''5u'' of '''welding fuel''' will remove random ''positive'' mutation with a ''20%'' probability
*Adding ''5u'' of '''phenol''' will remove a random ''minor negative'' mutation with a ''20%'' probability
*Adding ''5u'' of '''sterilizine''' will remove a random ''negative'' mutation with a ''20%'' probability
*Adding ''15u'' of '''blood''' will change the production value of the seeds by a random number in the range from ''-5 to +15''
*Adding ''5u'' of '''amatoxin''' will change the production value of the seeds by a random number in the range from ''-15 to +5''
*Adding ''5u'' of '''plasma''' will change the potency value of the seeds by a random number in the range from ''-15 to +5''
* Adding ''10u'' of '''holy water''' will change a potency value of the seeds by a random number in the range from ''-5 to +15''

=== Sandstone and Soil===
If you pick up the grass and use it (click on it in your hand), you will prepare astroturf. Get a crowbar and remove some floor tiles, then place astroturf in their place. In addition to looking nice, it can be used to get some sand. Just dig it with your spade and you'll get two piles. Now, pick up the sand and use it; you will make a sandstone brick. Using three bricks, you can make a soil plot, which is like a tray, except you can walk over it and there are no lights. You can also build a sandstone door with 10 bricks.

Science can [[Guide_to_advanced_construction#Hydroponics_Tray|build]] hydroponics trays. They can also upgrade them by replacing the matter bins, and this increases the water and nutrient capacity of the tray.
=== Wood and Drying Racks===
First you need to get some tower-caps, grow them and harvest them. You can then use hatchet (and some other things, but it's not important) on the logs to chop some planks. They have many uses: you can make chairs, tables, wooden floors and so on. A unique thing here is a drying rack. You can use it to dry a plant, and then smoke it. First, build a rack with 10 planks. Then, grab a plant you want to dry and put it in the rack. Click on the rack and toggle drying so that the red arrows light up. Give it a few seconds and it's done.

Note: you can dry ''any'' plant, and smoking it will give you all chemicals that were in it. You can smoke dried apples if you want, and get nutriment from them.

===[[File:Wooden_barrel.png]] Fermentation Barrel===
You can craft wooden barrels with the crafting menu (under tribal), which requires 30 wood planks [[File:Planks.png]]. Clicking it will toggle it between open and closed. When open you can insert plants or liquid. When closed you can draw liquid by using a container on it. 
Inserting a plant into the barrel will ferment the plant after a few seconds (even if not closing it). This will grind the plant, adding all the plant's contained reagents to the barrel. But it can also add an additional reagent depending on plant used. Most plants will create a special [[Guide_to_food_and_drinks#Wine|wine]] with varied boozepower depending on plant used. Some plants will create other reagents than wine, and some plants will not work at all.
=== Things You Can Make Out of Your Plants===
* Add some cable to a potato to make a potato battery. Botany cells have potential to be better than bluespace cells.
*Glowberries and glowshrooms, as the name suggests, glow.
* You can carve a pumpkin with a hatchet. Carved pumpkins can be worn and you can toggle them to emit a weak light.
*You can make a cob-pipe out of a corn cob.
*You can carve a carrot with a hatchet to make a shiv. It's not very strong but it's good at slicing things.
*Flowers and ambrosia can be worn on your head.
*Add dried ambrosia, wheat, tea aspera tips or tobacco leaves to a tower cap log to make a torch.
*Dried ambrosia, tobacco or any mutations of those are able to be smoked from wrapping paper, found in smoking vending machines. You can also grind them and put the liquid in an e-cig.
==Todo list for this guide==
*Add missing/fix outdated entries in the plant reference chart
*Add some icons and pictures to break up the wall of text
== Another guide==
Since Botany is relatively easy to learn but hard to master, here is an extra guide that focuses on a more practical, step-by-step point of view.
Also includes a lot of extra "recipes" for what you can turn your plants into.

Guide to hydroponics

2023-01-07T16:50:35Z

Wrill: Added missing icons and replaced strange plant question marks with actual icons.

[[File:Hydroponics.png|frame|right|Hydroponics. This is your home.]]
== Basics of Botany ==
* '''(For the testmerge guide to new hydroponics, please read [[User:EvilDragon/Guide to space botanology]])'''
[[Hydroponics]] and the [[Botanist]]s who work there are important to the station, especially in longer rounds. Botanists grow plants that the [[Chef]] can use for food. Without botany, the station will have to live off of beef jerky and space twinkies, or starve to death.
=== Your Area ===
Hydroponics is divided into two rooms. The big section is where you'll spend most of your time growing goods. Trays are available where you grow plants and two vending machines, one with seeds and the other with miscellaneous items such as nutrients and tools for your job. The bio-generator can be used to grind plants and produce things for the station. In tandem is the seed dispenser used to reproduce your product. The northern area is where you can grab most of the equipment needed to work in botany.

Plants require nutrients (fertilizer) and water to grow. They are also bothered by pests and weeds. 
Trays come equipped with lights that flash specific colors to tell you what's happening with your plant.

From left to right -
* '''Green''': Ready to harvest.
* '''Red''': Low health, caused by weeds/pests/toxins/end of lifespan.
* '''Orange''': High weed level.
* '''Yellow''': Low nutrients.
* '''Blue''': Low water.
Tools that are of use in botany -
* {{anchor|Plant_Analyzer}}'''Plant Analyzer''': Shows detailed detailed plant statistics. Very useful for growing fragile plants like Ambrosia Deus.
* {{anchor|Cultivator}}'''Cultivator''': Kills Weeds.
* '''Plant Bag''': Collects up to 50 items or 100 seeds from your harvest. Useful for moving those into the fridge or biogenerator.
* '''Wrench''': Used to move your trays around.
* '''Wirecutters''': Used to set up the irrigation system. If 30u or more of water is put into trays while the irrigation is set up, water will be shared across trays. This will also distribute things like mutagen and plant killer.
* {{anchor|Hatchet}}'''Hatchet''': Chops tower-caps into planks, chops other things. This is also a robust tool that fits in pockets.
* {{anchor|Shovel}}'''Shovel''': Digs up grass floors and cleans dirt.
* {{anchor|Spade}}'''Spade''': Removes and destroys plants in a tray.
* '''All-In-One Grinder''': This is how you extract reagents from plants - throw them in and hit the "grind" button.
* '''Portable Seed Extractor''': This can harvest and pick up plants and turn up to 100 plants into seeds. Less efficient than the machine.
=== [[File:Seed_Extractor.gif|Seed Extractor]] Plant growing 101 ===
Take some seeds from the vendor and put them into the trays. Now, take a look at the tray with a plant analyzer. For now, you only need to pay attention to the bottom five stats - '''Water/Nutrition''' and '''Weeds/Toxic/Pest''' levels. 
Now, fill a bucket from the water tank and grab fertilizer from the vending machine. You get rid of weeds with the cultivator and remove pests with pest spray. [[Chemistry]] can give you better chemicals for this, which will be explained later in the guide. 
Some plants have a varied growth times, such as wheat growing faster while watermelons or apple trees take a little longer before you can harvest from them. 
Once your tray flashes green, you're set to harvest. If you want to replicate the plant to continue growing more, just insert it into the seed extractor. 
You can click seeds with a pen to change the name of the plant, the seed's description, or the plant's description. After planting in a hydroponics tray the tray updates with the name and description of the plant inside it.
=== [[File:Biogenerator.gif|Bio-generator]] Biogenerator ===
The Biogenerator makes items out of the nutriment in plants. As a rule of thumb: More nutriment = more biomass. Watermelons and pumpkins are commonly used due to their 20% nutriment boost [[#Traits|trait]]. 
To get biomass, grab a spare bucket and equip the machine with it, then use the plant bag to put fruits inside. 
If you somehow run out of fertilizer in the vendors, remember you can print the three standard fertilizers here. Keep in mind that you can craft a whole bunch of useful items from the leather/cloth sheets the biogenerator creates.
=== [[File:plant dna manip.gif]]DNA Extractor ===
The DNA extractor allows you to extract and modify seed stats and [[#Traits|traits]]. This machine is what lets you become a [[Chemist]] on speed.

This is a little complex, so look at: [[Guide_to_hydroponics#Advanced_Botany|Advanced Botany]]
== Stats, reagents and traits ==
Three things determine how your plant will turn out: Their '''stats''', '''reagents''' and '''[[#Traits|traits]]'''.
=== Stats ===
Stats determine whether your plants are small and grow slowly, or are big and fast-growing.
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed">
Click expand to see what stats do:
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
* '''Potency''': The most important stat (0 to 100). This affects the amount of chemicals in the plant, though some have additional effects, such as stun length for bananas. 
To get the amount of a given chemical in a plant, multiply the reagent in the chart by the potency: for example, 10% nutriment will be 5 nutriment at 50 potency.
* '''Yield''': How much product you get each harvest. Between 0 and 10. Pay attention to this, because if it drops to 0, you won't harvest anything.
* '''Production Speed''': How fast your plant reaches harvest. Between 1 and 10 -- the '''lower''' the faster. The plant has to wait (Production Speed) age cycles before each harvest.
* '''Maturation Speed''': Age cycles before the plant can start production. The first harvest will be (Maturation Speed + Production Speed).
* '''Lifespan''': When the age is above lifespan, the plant starts losing health. Between 10 and 100. Only important for plants with the Perennial Growth [[#Traits|trait]].
* '''Age''': Age of the plant. Only relevant in terms of the lifespan stat.
* '''Endurance''': Max health. Between 10 and 100. Not very useful, unless you leave your garden often.
* '''Weed growth rate''': Determines how quickly weeds grow in the plant tray. Only relevant with very high values.
* '''Weed vulnerability''': The higher, the more easily a plant is overtaken by weeds. Only relevant with very high values.
</div>
</div>
=== Reagents/Content ===
This determines what chemicals are present in a grown plant - the [[Guide_to_hydroponics#Advanced_Botany|DNA extractor]] lets you extract and splice these. 
With a bit of creativity, you can mix your own mutagen, produce unique healing chemicals or turn tomatoes into napalm grenades. Solid [[Guide_to_chemistry|Chemistry]] knowledge will help you out immensely. 
For a detailed list, check out: [[Guide_to_hydroponics#Plant reference chart|Plant reference chart]]
=== Traits ===
Traits give your plants unique properties. There are plenty - Perennial Growth for example lets you harvest plants multiple times. 
These can be transferred, just like reagents.

==[[File:Vendnutri.gif]] Chemicals==
A lot of chemicals influence plants - get these from the vending machine, [[Chemistry]] or by growing your own!
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-uncollapsed">
Click expand to see a list of chemicals:
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
===Fertilizers ===
*Nutriment: A fertilizer that adds 1 nutrient to the tray and heals the plant 0.5 health per unit added. You can get it by putting your plants and regular food in the grinder.
*[[Ammonia]]: Similar to nutriment, but also increases yield (25u to increase 1 yield). Get it from the [[Chemist]] or hack the Nutri-Vend to get this.
*[[Diethylamine]]: Adds 2 nutrient to the tray, heals the plant 1 health per unit added and increases yield (50u to increase 1 yield). Also kills pests. Get it the same way you get Ammonia.
* Saltpetre: Heals your plant, increases potency and decreases production time. Doesn't add nutrient to the tray.
* Robust Harvest: Adds 1 nutrient to the tray per unit, and permanently increases plant yield of the tray 30% (without mutating the plant). Doesn't work on plants with 0 yield. A tray can only have the modifiers of one of the three special fertilizers at a time (Robust Harvest, E-Z-Nutrient and Left 4 Zed).
===Pest Removal===
*Pest Killer: Kills pests, and adds a small amount of toxicity.
*Weed Killer: Same as above, but for Weeds.
=== Mutation ===
*E-Z-Nutrient: Makes your plant mutate once every time it's ready for harvesting, and resets the tray's yield modifier to x1 (if another special fertilizer had previously been used on the tray). A tray can only have the modifiers of one of the three special fertilizers at a time (Robust Harvest, E-Z-Nutrient and Left 4 Zed).
*Left 4 Zed: Makes your plant mutate twice, but the yield will permanently be 1 at best. If the plant's yield is 0, then nothing is produced! You'll have to use another mutagen to harvest the normal yield of the plant. A tray can only have the modifiers of one of the three special fertilizers at a time (Robust Harvest, E-Z-Nutrient and Left 4 Zed).
*[[Unstable Mutagen]]: Used to randomly mutate plants - 5u for a chance to change the plant type, 1u/2u to only change stats.
* Radium and Uranium: Also usable for mutation (10u for plant type, 2u/5u for stats), but damages plants and adds toxicity. Radium is more damaging.
===Plant Meds===
*[[Ash]]: Adds 0.5 nutrient to the tray, heals the plant 0.25 health per unit added and kills weeds.
*[[Guide_to_chemistry#Multiver|charcoal]]: Makes your plant less toxic. You can get it by whining to anyone who works in [[Medbay]].
*[[Cryoxadone]]: Heals your plant, via <s>miracles</s> science. Also lowers toxicity. Don't expect the [[Chemist]] to give this to you, but the medbay probably has extra beakers of this.
*Holy water: If you can get the [[Chaplain]]'s attention and make him bless your water, it will heal your plant a bit.
===Unorthodox chemicals===
*Soda Water: Mostly adds water, but also heals the plant and adds nutrient to the tray by a tiny amount.
*Milk: Adds some water and a tiny but of nutrient to the tray.
*Beer: Adds a bit of water and nutrient to the tray, but damages the plant a little.
*Blood: Feeds both your plant and pests.
*Virus Food: Adds nutrient to the tray while damaging the plant.
*Nicotine: Kills pests while adding toxicity.
===The bad stuff ===
* Sugar: Makes pests and weeds grow stronger. Unless you [[Traitor|plan to use unstable mutagen to unleash giant spiders or Kudzu upon the station]], it's of no use.
*Toxin: Increases toxicity. Good job!
*Plant-B-Gone, Sulphuric Acid, Fluorosulfuric Acid: Damages the plant, adds toxicity and kills weeds. What do you think would happen?
*Fluorine, Chlorine: Same as above, but also drains water.
*Phosphorus: Same as Flourine/Chlorine, but adds nutrients to the tray instead of toxicity. Just use a spade.
*Napalm: Kills weeds, hurts plant and adds toxicity. This is just going downhill. Unless your plant has the fireproof [[#Traits|trait]], you might as well space the whole tray. On fireproof plants it will just kill weeds.
*[[Guide_to_chemistry#Strange_Reagent|Strange Reagent]]: Is supposed to spawn hostile plant creatures but currently doesn't work.

Bees greatly increase plant yield, potency and the probability of you getting lynched. Great stuff, and very useful even if you're no traitor!

[[File:Bee.gif]] [[Beekeeping|For more info, click here for the guide on beepeeking.]] [[File:Bee.gif]]

==Advanced Botany==
This is where you get to PLAY GOD and mess with the stats, reagents and [[#Traits|traits]] of plants. 
===Using the DNA manipulator===
1. Go to the locker in the back and take out the box of plant data disks. 
2. Load a disk into the machine along with any seed of choice. 
3. Extract any gene, this will destroy the seed and save it to the disk. 
4. Put in another seed. 
5. You can now modify the seed's stats and genes based on what's on the plant data disk. 
Obviously, this can be quite powerful in the right hands, and even for more basic tasks it can be a major boon.

It is worth noting, however, that the DNA manipulator has an upper limit on how high a stat can be when you try to extract it and save it to disk, and any stats higher than that will be brought down to that cap. Though these caps can be lowered or eliminated if you can get RnD to upgrade your machine, at round-start the caps are very bad, with certain stats like production speed being capped at a level worse than what nearly every plant has initially. [[#Traits|Traits]], on the other hand, can be extracted just fine no matter what parts are used.

Useful genes from default seeds:
*Wheat has a production speed of 1, the fastest possible.
*Tower-caps have very long lifespans (around 80), as well as potency and endurance stats of 50.
* Tobacco plants have a yield of 10, the cap for that stat.
*Apples have the perennial growth [[#Traits|trait]], which allows for you to get multiple harvests from a single plant.
* Watermelon has an endurance nearly on par with tower-caps, making it a good substitute when starting out so you can avoid using up all of your starting tower-cap seeds.
Some genes are unextractable.
 
===Mutations ===
You can mutate plants to A) change stats or B) mutate them into a different subspecies. To do this in a timely manner, you'll need to work with the [[Chemistry]] department.
*The agonizingly slow way is using '''E-Z Nutriment''' to make the plant mutate once every time it's ready to harvest. '''Left 4 Zed''' makes it mutate twice, but kills the yield!

*You can speed up the process to bearable levels by asking your local [[Chemist]] for a few bottles of '''[[Guide_to_chemistry#Unstable Mutagen|Unstable Mutagen]]'''. 
Pour 5 units on your plant and prepare for...
*10% chance of '''mutation into a related species'''. This destroys the old plant and plants a new one. See the [[Guide_to_hydroponics#Plant reference chart|Plant reference chart]] for information on these mutations.
*10% chance of the '''plant losing lots of health instantly'''. The plant can die because of this
*15% chance of '''heavy stat mutation''' with a 3% chance of a new [[#Traits|trait]] appearing.
*15% chance of '''normal stat mutation'''.
*20% chance of '''nothing'''. You get a message when this happens.
* 10% chance of '''weeds mutating'''. If weed level is less than 5, nothing happens, otherwise you get a random, special mutated weed (Kudzu, Deathnettle, Destroying Angel, Liberty Cap).
*10% chance of '''pests mutating'''. Again, if pest level is less than 5, nothing happens. Otherwise, spiderlings are spawned.
**This is '''bad'''. If the spiderlings escape, they'll grow big and you'll likely get lynched.
Or, if you don't want to bother with species mutation, pour 2 units for a guaranteed heavy stat mutation with a 3% chance of a new [[#Traits|trait]] appearing, or even 1 for a guaranteed normal stat mutation. This method is safe even if you don't have backup seeds, and you can use a bottle for it.
*You can use '''radium''' and '''uranium''', but they cause ill effects, and if you can get radium, you can get mutagen.

*R&D can also research a wonderful thing called a '''Floral Somatoray'''. It has two options: increase yield and mutate the plant. In yield more mode, every time you fire it at the plant, there is a chance the yield will increase. The chance becomes very small when you reach high levels, but it's very useful for low-yield plants. It can even raise yield from zero! In mutation mode, it will always induce a normal stat mutation.
===Fixing awful stats ===
Mutating plants has a chance of really ruining stats. Luckily, there are a few ways to fix them:
* Unstable Mutagen. Using 1u slightly changes stats, 2u has more drastic effects.
*Saltpetre. Increases potency and decreases production time.
*Ammonia. Increases yield.
* Floral Somatoray. Increases yield and works as a substitute for Unstable Mutagen.
===Dude weeds===
Trays, whether empty or occupied by plants, can be occasionally overtaken by a weed if their level is 5 or more. In that case the old plant is destroyed, and a new one will sprout in its place.

Possible plants include:
* 1/6 chance for Reishi/Starshittle.
*1/9 chance for Nettle/Harebell/Amanita/Chanterelle/Tower Cap/Plump Helmets
Using 5u of unstable mutagen on high weed level trays results in different plants:
* Kudzu, Deathnettle, Destroying Angel, Liberty Cap
== Other Notes==

===[[file:Bottle.png]] Growing your own mutagen===
Not robust enough to steal a chem dispenser? Try this out.
*First, plant pumpkins and mutate them into blumpkins.
*Now, insert their Chlorine production [[#Traits|trait]] into glowshrooms and remove the Nutriment one.
*That's it! You now have a plant that grows unstable mutagen - just pop the produce into the grinder.
*You might want to add Densified Chemicals from Redbeets as well as Perennial Growth to optimize your harvest.
===[[File:Dispenser.png]] Other ways to mutagen===
Chemistry is <s>busy curing the plague</s> too high to help you out?
*<s>Bad idea: Steal a chem dispenser. This will start a blood feud and is one of the biggest reasons why Botanists are hated by some. Think of it as someone stealing all your plant trays.</s>
*<s>Better: Ask Medbay to print you a spare chem dispenser board. After very basic research (Biological Technology), the medical protolathe is able to print chem dispenser boards.</s>
* <s>Or: Grab the spare chem dispenser board from tech storage. The AI, silicons and all members of the Engineering department can let you in.</s>
*<s>For stock parts: Print them from a public autolathe (if such has been built) or ask RnD/Engineering for a part replacer with stock parts. The parts are: 2 matter bins, 1 capacitor, 1 micro-manipulator, 1 power cell, 1 glass sheet. </s>
*<s>For stock parts you can also disassemble a hydroponics tray and a cell charger. A cell can then be found or gotten from disassembling a cyborg recharger.</s>
*Just use your Minor Botanical Chem Dispenser. It can give you mutagen, saltpetre and water roundstart and with t4 parts you can get plantbgone, weedkiller, pestkiller and diethylamine.
===[[file:Ambrosia_gaia.png]] Upgrading plant trays ===
Composting enough plants that contain Earthsblood (20 units from plants like [[#Ambrosia gaia|Ambrosia Gaia]]) into a tray will give it a golden shine. Now it will no longer require water, fertilizer or weed/pest removal.

This is great in combination with plants that have the Perennial Growth [[#Traits|trait]]! A lot of Botanists will upgrade their trays before getting started with actual hydroponics.

Upgraded trays permanently contain the last fertilizer you used before the upgrade. Robust Harvest is usually the best choice.

Instead of keeping the original Gaia plant that most likely has gimped stats - insert the Earthsblood production [[#Traits|trait]] into a more robust plant.

If your DNA extractor hasn't been upgraded yet: Wheat has a production speed of 1 and good overall stats. If you're lucky, your station will have 50 potency Wheat bushels just lying around at roundstart.

You can speed up the process by removing all contents but Earthsblood production and adding the Densified Chemicals (Redbeet) [[#Traits|trait]].
===[[file:Replicapodplant.png]] Replica Pod Cloning===
Replica pods can be used to grow dead people back to life - even when their brain and head are missing.

To clone someone, follow these simple steps:
*Take a blood sample from the body using a syringe.
*Inject it into the bag of seeds.
*Plant the seeds.
*Let the plant grow and then harvest it.
*If the ghost of the corpse is still online, and did not turn on "Do not Resuscitate", that person will be cloned as a [[Podman]].
*If there was no ghost available, the resulting harvest will simply produce a new pack of seeds.
The [[Podman|podmen]] are a little different from normal humans. E.g. they regenerate in light but suffer in darkness and don't get attacked by bees.

Cabbage can be mutated into Replica Pod.
===Strange Seeds===
Strange seeds (from hacked vendors or cargo crates) have completely random reagents and [[#Traits|traits]].

Notable examples are:
*Gaseous Decomposition
*Nitroglycerin
*Microbes (Fungal Tuberculosis)
*Any drink, like Gin Tonic or Beepsky Smash
*Glitter
*Plasmaman Mutation Toxin
*Hell Water
Of course, this is pretty gimmicky and unreliable.
===[[file:Kudzuplant.png]] Kudzu {{anchor|Kudzu}}===
Kudzu is a weed that can appear when adding 5u [[Guide_to_chemistry#Unstable Mutagen|Unstable Mutagen]] to a tray with a weed level of 5 or above. The tray version of kudzu will grow normally in its tray. When harvested it will produce kudzu pods [[File:Kudzu.png]]. The kudzu pod is like any other fruit/vegetable and can be eaten or grinded. To create wild-spreading kudzu, you must put a kudzu pod into a seed extractor, which will create packs of kudzu seeds [[File:Kudzuseed.png]]. Then activate a kudzu seed in your hand to start planting wild-spreading kudzu on the floor. 
Some plant stats will affect the wild-spreading version of kudzu in specific ways:
*Potency of the seed will make kudzu mutate more on spread, the chance to mutate on each new piece is '''[potency / 10]'''
*Production will affect how fast the kudzu can spread, usual kudzu spreads at a rate of 20% of the amount of pieces per tick but no more than 30, production changes the cap '''[30 * production / 50]''' and the percent of processed pieces per tick '''[20 * (production / 50)]'''
Killing the last piece of kudzu will create a kudzu seed in its place with all the ackumulated mutations saved in the seed. So if you reactivate it, the new kudzu on the floor will have all the same mutations the seed had, and will spread it to all its progenitors. You can examine a wild kudzu to see what mutations it has. When mutating it typically changes color. 
Kudzu can gain mutations only on spread, here is the list of all of them:
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed">
Click expand to see Kudzu [[#Traits|traits]] and mutations:
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
* '''CO2 consumption''' - ''positive'' mutation, consumes CO2 from the air
*<s>'''Space covering''' - ''positive'' mutation, makes vines grow vine floors over space</s> Removed as of August 23 2017.
*'''Light''' - ''positive'' mutation, about 40% of the vines with this mutation emit light slightly more powerful than PDA
*'''Transparency''' - ''positive'' mutation, makes vines look-through
* '''Toxins consumption''' - ''positive'' mutation, absorbs plasma from the air
*<s>'''Bluespace vines''' - ''minor negative'' mutation, makes vines be able to grow through anything</s> Removed as of August 23 2017.
*'''Explosive''' - ''minor negative'' mutation, on death vines with this mutation explode with 0,0,2 power, so clusters of this vine will chain-explode one after another
*'''Fire resistant''' - ''minor negative'' mutation, makes vines ignore fire damage, be it plasma fires or welders
*'''Vine eating''' - ''minor negative'' mutation, vines with this mutation will eat vines without it
*'''Toxicity''' - ''negative'' mutation, eating vine with this mutation or walking thought it will cause you toxin damage
*'''Aggressive spreading''' - ''negative'' mutation, on spreading vines will cause effect of mini-explosion on the tile they spread to, mobs buckled by this vine will also experience effects akin to minor explosion
* '''O2 consumption''' - ''negative'' mutation, absorbs O2 from the air around
*'''N2 consumption''' - ''negative'' mutation, absorbs N2 from the air
*'''Thorns''' - ''negative'' mutation, makes mobs touching or going through vines recieve physical damage
*'''Hardening''' - ''negative'' mutation, makes vines not die fast from sharp objects, but makes non-sharp objects(hands included) be more effective agaisnt them, on the full maturation block the passage
*'''Flowering''' - ''negative'' mutation, makes vines very entangly and spawns harmful flowers occasionally, flowers after destruction spawn flower mob that is agressive and attacks

Adding special chemicals to the tray when the seeds are growing will affect the specific kudzu mutations:
*Adding ''5u'' of '''welding fuel''' will remove random ''positive'' mutation with a ''20%'' probability
*Adding ''5u'' of '''phenol''' will remove a random ''minor negative'' mutation with a ''20%'' probability
*Adding ''5u'' of '''sterilizine''' will remove a random ''negative'' mutation with a ''20%'' probability
*Adding ''15u'' of '''blood''' will change the production value of the seeds by a random number in the range from ''-5 to +15''
*Adding ''5u'' of '''amatoxin''' will change the production value of the seeds by a random number in the range from ''-15 to +5''
*Adding ''5u'' of '''plasma''' will change the potency value of the seeds by a random number in the range from ''-15 to +5''
* Adding ''10u'' of '''holy water''' will change a potency value of the seeds by a random number in the range from ''-5 to +15''

=== Sandstone and Soil===
If you pick up the grass and use it (click on it in your hand), you will prepare astroturf. Get a crowbar and remove some floor tiles, then place astroturf in their place. In addition to looking nice, it can be used to get some sand. Just dig it with your spade and you'll get two piles. Now, pick up the sand and use it; you will make a sandstone brick. Using three bricks, you can make a soil plot, which is like a tray, except you can walk over it and there are no lights. You can also build a sandstone door with 10 bricks.

Science can [[Guide_to_advanced_construction#Hydroponics_Tray|build]] hydroponics trays. They can also upgrade them by replacing the matter bins, and this increases the water and nutrient capacity of the tray.
=== Wood and Drying Racks===
First you need to get some tower-caps, grow them and harvest them. You can then use hatchet (and some other things, but it's not important) on the logs to chop some planks. They have many uses: you can make chairs, tables, wooden floors and so on. A unique thing here is a drying rack. You can use it to dry a plant, and then smoke it. First, build a rack with 10 planks. Then, grab a plant you want to dry and put it in the rack. Click on the rack and toggle drying so that the red arrows light up. Give it a few seconds and it's done.

Note: you can dry ''any'' plant, and smoking it will give you all chemicals that were in it. You can smoke dried apples if you want, and get nutriment from them.

===[[File:Wooden_barrel.png]] Fermentation Barrel===
You can craft wooden barrels with the crafting menu (under tribal), which requires 30 wood planks [[File:Planks.png]]. Clicking it will toggle it between open and closed. When open you can insert plants or liquid. When closed you can draw liquid by using a container on it. 
Inserting a plant into the barrel will ferment the plant after a few seconds (even if not closing it). This will grind the plant, adding all the plant's contained reagents to the barrel. But it can also add an additional reagent depending on plant used. Most plants will create a special [[Guide_to_food_and_drinks#Wine|wine]] with varied boozepower depending on plant used. Some plants will create other reagents than wine, and some plants will not work at all.
=== Things You Can Make Out of Your Plants===
* Add some cable to a potato to make a potato battery. Botany cells have potential to be better than bluespace cells.
*Glowberries and glowshrooms, as the name suggests, glow.
* You can carve a pumpkin with a hatchet. Carved pumpkins can be worn and you can toggle them to emit a weak light.
*You can make a cob-pipe out of a corn cob.
*You can carve a carrot with a hatchet to make a shiv. It's not very strong but it's good at slicing things.
*Flowers and ambrosia can be worn on your head.
*Add dried ambrosia, wheat, tea aspera tips or tobacco leaves to a tower cap log to make a torch.
*Dried ambrosia, tobacco or any mutations of those are able to be smoked from wrapping paper, found in smoking vending machines. You can also grind them and put the liquid in an e-cig.
==Todo list for this guide==
*Add missing/fix outdated entries in the plant reference chart
*Add some icons and pictures to break up the wall of text
== Another guide==
Since Botany is relatively easy to learn but hard to master, here is an extra guide that focuses on a more practical, step-by-step point of view.
Also includes a lot of extra "recipes" for what you can turn your plants into.
