	As an engineer, you're sometimes called to put the station back together again after a bad fall. Sometimes, that's a problem because what use to have an identifiable shape now is just a mess of shattered tiles, exposed space, and broken dreams. This map highlights the important bits of machinery running under everything so you can fix any section that gets broken. Also useful when power goes out in a section for figuring out where the damn clown cut a cable.		As an engineer, you're sometimes called to put the station back together again after a bad fall.

	=== Wiring ===		=== Wiring ===
	If a ~~part of the~~ station ~~loses~~ power ~~it is likely wires have been cut somewhere. To search for cut wires under floors you will need a [[Engineering_items#T-Ray_Scanner\|T-Ray Scanner]]. To cut wires~~, ~~use the [[Engineering_items#Wirecutters\|wirecutters]]~~ and ~~to place new ones click on the floor where~~ you'~~d like them~~ to ~~be placed. The wire will be placed on~~ the ~~targeted tile from the tile you're standing on. You can also place wires on the tile you're currently on by clicking~~ the ~~tile. the wire will be placed in the direction you're currently facing. To place smooth wires~~, ~~click on the cabling of~~ an ~~existing~~ wire ~~with more wire in your hand~~. ~~You can even run wires diagonally or curve them in any direction this way~~.		All electronic devices (doors, lights, computers and other machines) need a powered electrical wire connected to them. The station is already filled with red power cables (new cables come in various colors), and you'll mostly have to only worry about the wiring of the solars, until someone blows up/cuts an important wire...

	~~Wiring intersections demand special mention. Making an intersection requires all~~ the ~~wire pieces to be end-points~~. If you ~~make~~ a ~~smooth wire going south to north and place a half~~-~~wire going east, they will not be connected~~. To ~~connect them you have to remove~~ the ~~smooth wire~~ and ~~replace it with two half-wires. Once all of them are placed, if you right~~ click the ~~tile~~ you ~~should see three wire pieces, all of which meet in the center~~.		If a certain sector of the station loses power it is likely wires have been cut somewhere. To search for cut wires under floors you will need a [[Engineering_items#T-Ray_Scanner\|T-Ray Scanner]]. To cut wires, use the [[Engineering_items#Wirecutters\|wirecutters]] and to place new ones click on the floor where you'd like them to be placed.

	an [[Area power controller\|APC]] or [[Area power controller\|Area Power Controller]] is located in every room. It is usually locked, but you can unlock it by swiping your ID on it. It contains a [[Engineering_items#Power_Cell\|power cell]]. You can shut off a room's power or disable or enable lighting, equipment or atmospheric systems with it. Every room can have only one APC. The guide to their construction and deconstruction can be found in the [[Guide to construction\|guide to construction]]. APC's can also be [[Hacking#APCs\|hacked]]. It's also a good idea to know how to do that. DO NOT PRACTICE ON THE ENGINE APCs! If you mess up, you can destroy it through hacking which can set the singularity free if you do it in engineering!

If any of the functions are set to auto, they will turn off when the cell reaches a certain (low) point of charge.

	Computers are everywhere on SS13. Engineering has a power monitoring computer, several solar computers and a general alerts computer. Almost everything you can control is done through a computer. Making them is described in the [[Guide to construction#Computers\|guide to construction]], as is their dissasembly (for those which can be deconstructed). To learn how to operate different computer you'll need to start using them and find out how they work while doing so. There are too many to explain them all here.
