Scientist is one of the most feared and fun jobs on station. Being a scientist means you can either make a buttload of delicious weapons, tools and gadgets through research, breed colorful slimes, make delicious fun-packing bombs, or experiment with time and space themselves. As it is predictable with the station, most scientists are not satisfied with just blowing up their testing area and frequently go and spread their flavor of fun throughout the station. This is of course a really bad idea, often resulting in jobbans - but then again, delicious bombs.
Bare minimum requirements: Do R&D if nobody else is.
Basic skills: Upgrade machines around the station. Do your job without blowing up the department.
Advanced skills: Do Xenobiology before the Captain calls the shuttle. Make bombs and get your teeth kicked in by security.
The Laboratories
Research & Development
Houses the Research and Development console, the science department protolathe, the science department circuit imprinter, and the destructive analyzer. The RnD console is where you research specific tech nodes, which unlock new items, which can be printed out by the various department protolathes and circuit imprinters distributed around the station. The science department protolathe prints out machine parts, which can be used to upgrade various pieces of machinery. The Destructive Analyzer is now mostly obsolete, only being used to unlock the "Illegal Technology" and "Alien Surgery" tech nodes.
Toxins Research
This lab focuses on exploring the possibilities of plasma gas, typically always in the form of massive explosions. Provided to you is the Toxins Test Chamber, where you can safely test your creations.
While bomb making is reasonably straightforward, it only takes one mistake for the entire room to become flooded with plasma or superheated carbon dioxide. Be patient and cautious.
Bombs have practical uses as mining charges, though they are mainly sought after by nanotrasen weapons divisions for auctioning to the wealthiest buyer.
Xenobiology
The primary purpose of this lab is research on the breeding of slimes, the extracts of which have a variety of fun effects, by feeding them large numbers of monkeys.
It also contains a pen capable of safely housing xenomorphs, in case the miners manage to locate a live facehugger.
Experimental Lab
This lab houses the E.X.P.E.R.I-MENTOR, AKA that machine that drives R&D crazy by constantly setting off the fire alarm in their lab.
Testing Lab
A general purpose lab that goes mostly unused. It features a firing range and can be converted into a backup lab when one of the other labs inevitably blows up. Note that rebuilding Toxins in here is not going to make the crew happy, since you probably had to burn down the original first.
Tips!
- Hey! Listen! DO NOT use the bombs on the main station. You'll get banned otherwise. Refer to the rules.
- Change the frequency of the remote signalling devices so that other scientists or saboteurs don't set off your explosives themselves.
- You can blow up a singularity with a Bag of Holding. Seriously.
- RPEDs can be used to upgrade machines by using a screwdriver on them and then the RPED! It'll replace the parts in the machine with the next best parts in the RPED!
- Using an RPED on a machine will tell you what parts it's made of!
- You can upgrade most machines on the station like the teleporter, SMES and even pacmans! Try it out some time!
- Slimes will glomp you if you hug them enough times.
- The slime processor and the chef's food processor are the same thing. So you can grind slimes in the chef's food processor and make fries in the slime processor!
- Tank transfer valve will accept any color of large tank, and it will be reflected accurately in the sprite. It even accepts jetpacks.
- You can scan ANY chemical with the Odysseus and have it produce more. Even rare chems such as nanomachines or traitor poisons.
- If an anomaly appears, scan it with an analyzer and then ping the frequency it gives you with a remote signaling device.
- Remember: If you detonate your bombs on the main station without being an antagonist, you will get banned. Refer to the rules.
