Guide to robotics

Are you a Roboticist? This guide will explain the creation and maintenance of Cyborgs, bots, and stocky exosuits.

Robotics and Mech Bay

Exosuit Fabricators

These are the main machines used in Robotics, with them you can create various exosuit and cyborg parts and their upgrade modules. Remember to sync these with the R&D servers frequently for new equipment designs and increased production speeds.

If one (or more) of the Exosuit Fabricators gets stuck at updating from R&D servers, use a screwdriver on it and then crowbar that fucker! Remove any metal/glass sheets and then put all the components back into the machine frame, use a screwdriver at the end to reassemble the Exosuit Fabricator.

Cyborgs

Total Part Cost: 100000

Requires
1 x each Cyborg part (made with the Exosuit Fabricator) 2 x (Exosuit Fabricator) 1 x 1 x (preferably at least High-Capacity) 1 x → OR positronic brain OR B.O.R.I.S. module

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

Assuming you already have the necessary components:

1. Insert a charged power cell into the cyborg's chest
2. Insert a coil of wire into the cyborg's chest
3. Insert two flashes in the cyborg's head (one for each eye socket)
4. For final assembly, take each component and apply it to the cyborg endoskeleton
5. Multitools can be used to give cyborgs names. Simply apply the multitool before the brain is installed. Note that calling a borg 'PenisShitter 5000' will not net you any new friends, however, if your borg leaves the name up to you, be sure to name it 'PenisShitter 5000'. For some hilarity and general confusion, try giving the borg the same name as the AI.
6. Once it's complete, it's time for the brain. See here how to remove your volunteer's brain. (or just hit the head with a blade until it pops off and then cut the skull open)
7. Now put the brain into your MMI, and then the MMI into the cyborg suit. Congratulations, your cyborg is complete. Put the brainless corpse into a body bag and deliver it to the Morgue (or throw it down the disposals because ROBOTICS!). If when you insert the MMI into the cyborg it says "This MMI does not seem to fit." it means the user is job banned from cyborg.
8. Instead of a brain, you can insert a positronic brain (controlled by a ghost) or B.O.R.I.S. module (controlled by the AI) into the cyborg as well.

Cyborg Maintenance

In the beginning of a maintenance process, you need to open the Cyborg's maintenance cover. To open it:

1. Use an ID Card, Emag it or just ask the Cyborg to unlock its panel
2. Use a Crowbar to open the cover.

After the maintenance process use the same tools in reverse order so the Cyborg doesn't run around with its cover open, like so:

1. Use a Crowbar to close the cover.
2. Use your ID Card to lock the Cyborg. Borgs can't lock their panel.

Cyborg Repairs

Cyborgs will often come to you for repairs if damaged.

For brute damage:

1. Weld them to fix the dents.

For burn damage:

1. Unlock and open the Cyborg's cover.
2. Use an Empty Hand to remove the battery.
3. Screwdriver to expose wiring.
4. Rewire the damaged circuits. You may have to do this step more than once.
5. Screwdriver to hide wiring.
6. Re-insert the old battery or insert a new one.
7. Close the cover and lock the Cyborg.

Engineering cyborgs can repair dents on themselves and on their fellow cyborgs. They cannot repair burn damage though, since they cannot remove power cells to reach the wiring.

Cyborg Batteries

You will often see at least one Cyborg come to your assembly line to ask for an upgrade.

1. Unlock and open the Cyborg's cover.
2. With an Empty Hand, remove the old battery.
3. Insert a New Battery.
4. Close the cover and lock the Cyborg.

Cyborg Radios

Cyborgs can be installed with radio encryption keys, allowing them to communicate on secure department channels.

1. Unlock and open the Cyborg's cover.
2. Insert a New Encryption Key (or Screwdriver to remove the current Key).
3. Close the cover and lock the Cyborg.

Reviving Cyborgs

A cyborg that has failed but not been turned into scrap can be repaired back to working order.

1. Create an Emergency Restart Module at the Exosuit Fabricator (under Cyborg Upgrade Modules).
2. Repair the Cyborg with a welder and/or replace wires.
3. Unlock and open the Cyborg's cover.
4. Insert the Emergency Restart Module.
5. Close the cover and lock the Cyborg.

Upgrading Cyborgs

1. Unlock and open the Cyborg's cover.
2. Insert the Upgrade Module (or emag to subvert).
3. Close the cover and lock the Cyborg.

Resetting Cyborg models

For info on how to reset a cyborg's model, check out the Guide to Hacking.

Deconstructing Cyborgs

Cyborgs can be deconstructed to remove their MMI and get their parts back.

1. Unlock and open the Cyborg's cover.
2. Use an Empty Hand to remove battery.
3. Screwdriver to open wiring.
4. Cut every wire until the lockdown light turns on.
5. Wrench to disassemble.

(Alternatively, for steps 4 and 5, you can use a Robotics console)

Upgrades

Roboticists can construct upgrade modules for cyborgs, such as one that increases your movement speed. Should you wish to change models, ask the roboticist to cut and mend your reset wire.

Surgery

To initiate most surgeries, first place drapes over the part of the body you are operating on.

Removing Brains

Procedure	Ghetto Analogues
Step 1: Scalpel: make an incision.	(65%) (45%) (75%) Any other sharp item (30%)
Step 2: Retractor: retract the skin.	(45%) (35%)
Step 3: Circular Saw: saw through bones.	(65%) (50%) (50%) (35%) (25%) (75%)
Step 4: Hemostat: clamp the bleeders.	(60%) (35%) (15%)
Step 5: Scalpel: make an incision.	(65%) (45%) (75%) Any other sharp item (30%)
Step 6: Hemostat: remove the brain.	(55%)
Step 7: Have an MMI in hand.
Step 8: Click to remove the brain.

Alternatively, you could activate harm intent and hack at their head a lot with a circular saw until the brain pops out. Minorly quicker, but the Borg milling about might notice.

If a head is not attached to a body, you can simply use a scalpel on it to cut the brain out. No need for drapes or table.

Limb Augmentation

Replace a limb with a robot part. The head, torso, arms, and legs can all be augmented. Augmenting torso makes you immune to appendicitis and xeno larva.
Robot limbs are tougher. They need welding to "heal" brute damage and wires for burn damage, and cannot be otherwise healed. EMP pulses will hurt augmented humans.

Cyborg head

Cyborg torso

Cyborg arm

We can rebuild him. We have the technology.

Target: Head, chest, legs or arms

Procedure	Ghetto Analogues
Step 0: Create the cyborg limb(s) using an Exosuit Fabricator.
Step 1: Scalpel: make an incision.	(65%) (45%) (75%) Any other sharp item (30%)
Step 2: Hemostat: clamp bleeders.	(60%) (35%) (15%)
Step 3: Retractor: retract the skin.	(45%) (35%)
Step 4: Scalpel: sever the muscles.	(55%)
Step 5: Circular Saw: cut through the bone.	(65%) (50%) (50%) (35%) (25%) (75%)
Step 7: Cyborg limb: augment the limb.

Bots

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

Remember: All bots can be made through the crafting menu (T-like hammer hud-icon). This can save a lot of time during construction, especially if Robotics is busy!

Medibot

Heals anyone nearby. Can be equipped with a beaker to stick people with instead of the default medicine, and when emagged it will inject people with toxins, repeatedly.

To manufacture:

Requires
1 x Borg Arm (left or right) 1 x (EMPTY, any color) 1 x 1 x

1. Attach the Borg Arm (left or right, doesn't matter) to an empty Med-kit. Color of the Med-kit doesn't matter, although it will affect the colour of the Medbot.
2. You can pick the assembly up in your hand at this point and name it something clever/funny/stupid by holding your Pen in the other hand and clicking on it, if you wish.
3. Add a Medical Analyzer.
4. Insert the Proximity Sensor and your Medibot is ready!

Cleanbot

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

To make:

Requires
1 x 1 x 1 x Borg Arm (left or right)

1. Grab a bucket from the Janitor or make with Autolathe and insert the Proximity Sensor to it
2. Use a Pen to name it if you wish.
3. Attach a Borg Arm and your Cleanbot is ready!

Floorbot

Floorbots are nice to have around when some asshole starts crowbarring up floor tiles or some traitor has blown apart a section of the station. They zoom around and repair busted floor tiles. Honestly, they're niche to the point of uselessness. But they make nice pets. Also, if emagged, they will deconstruct the floors into space.

To manufacture:

Requires
1 x 10 x 1 x 1 x Borg Arm (left or right)

1. Attach a Floor tile to the Mechanical Toolbox.
2. Add the Proximity Sensor.
3. Insert a Borg Arm and your Floorbot is ready!

Securitron

Basically, Officer Beepsky without the personality. You usually won't need to build any of these, but they can be hilariously helpful for traitors who have invested in a Cryptographic Sequencer, as they tend to run around stunning and cuffing everyone in sight. Problem is, any of these that report a Level 10 Infraction when spotting people are obviously hacked.

To manufacture:

Requires
1 x 1 x 1 x 1 x 1 x Borg Arm (left or right) 1 x

1. Use a Remote Signaling Device on a Helmet.
2. Weld them together
3. Add a Proximity Sensor.
4. Insert a Borg Arm.
5. Toss in a Stun Baton and your Securitron is ready!

Note: Destroying a Securitron or Officer Beepsky with a melee weapon is all but impossible by yourself; striking them causes them to immediately stun and cuff you. If you work with another person you can get several hits in while it is cuffing the other person, which is often enough to destroy it outright.

Honkbot

It's annoying and useless, but the clown might bug you to make one of this in absentia of a H.O.N.K. mech. God forbid if a traitor emags the thing.

To manufacture:

Requires
1 x 1 x 1 x 1 x 1 x Borg Arm (left or right)

1. Stamp a piece of cardboard with the clown stamp. (You may need a clown for this step)
2. Insert a Borg Arm
3. Add a Proximity Sensor.
4. Add a Bike Horn

ED-209

PUT DOWN YOUR WEAPON. YOU HAVE 15 SECONDS TO COMPLY.

Beepsky's bigger brother. Has all of the abilities of a standard Securitron with the addition of a ranged attack.

To manufacture:

Requires
1 x Cyborg Endoskeleton 1 x 2 x Cyborg Leg 1 x 1 x 1 x 1 x 1 x 1 x 1 x 1 x

1. Build a Cyborg Endoskeleton from the Exosuit Fabricator.
2. Use a Metal Sheet on a Cyborg Endoskeleton to reinforce it.
3. Add two Robot Legs
4. Add a Body Armor
5. Weld everything together
6. Add in a security Helmet
7. Attach a Proximity Sensor to the assembly
8. Insert wires
9. Add a Hybrid Taser and attach it with a Screwdriver
10. Insert a Power Cell. Your own exosuit is complete!

An emagged ED-209 fires deadly lasers AND attacks anyone on sight.

Drone

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

1. Build a drone shell from the Drone Shell Fabricator by inserting glass and metal.

That's it! Any ghost can click on the drone shell to take control of it and start repairing the station. Note that Drones are currently admin spawn only, outside of the three derelict drones.

Exosuits

Construction of Exosuit are restricted by ID, so they are typically the product of roboticists and the Research Director. These can be tremendously helpful or tremendously annoying depending on who uses it. They take more work to make than robots and require special circuits, which are obtained through the Quartermaster or the Research and Development console.

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

List of Exosuits

The current list of exosuits is as follows.

CentCom Exosuits

If you see these, you know that things have really gone to shit. These exosuits are typically only found in the repositories of the elite Emergency Response Team and Death Squad.

Marauder

Standard issue exosuit for the Death Squad when the goings get tough. It has 4 equipment slots, and starts off with the eZ-13 MK2 heavy pulse rifle, the SRM-8 missile rack, a Tesla Energy Relay, and an antiprojectile armor booster.

Seraph

Standard issue exosuit for the Death Squad when the goings get seriously tough. Usually reserved for CentCom high command. It has 5 equipment slots, and starts off with the LBX AC 10 "Scattershot", the SRM-8 missile rack, a teleporter, a Tesla Energy Relay, and an antiprojectile armor booster.

Syndicate Exosuits

For dealing with particularly resilient obstacles. Typically only found in the arsenals of the famed Nuclear Operatives.

Dark Gygax

A modified Gygax used for nefarious purposes. It has 4 equipment slots, and starts off with the FNX-99 "Hades" Carbine, the SGL-6 grenade launcher, a Teleporter, and a Tesla Energy Relay.

Mauler

A modified Marauder used by the Syndicate. It has 5 equipment slots, and starts of with the Ultra AC 2 LMG, the LBX AC 10 "Scattershot", the SRM-8 missile rack, a Tesla Energy Relay, and an antiprojectile armor booster. Not as maneuverable as the Dark Gygax, but it makes up for that in sheer firepower.

Exosuit operation and maintenance

To climb into an exosuit, just drag and drop your character onto it.

Exosuit beacons

Adding a tracking beacon (exofab "Misc" category) to a mech allows the RD's exosuit control console to track the mech, view detailed stats, message the pilot and even EMP it when neccessary.

Research can also unlock an AI control beacon that lets the AI - you guessed it - control the exosuit.

Locking/unlocking Exosuits

There are two ways to lock exosuit: A) ID ("keycode") lock or B) DNA lock.

A) ID lock (keycode):

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

For example: A mech with "bridge" and "robotics" keycodes has access to both areas, but requires an ID card with at least bridge and robotics access to enter.

• Enter the exosuit and unlock the ID upload panel.
• Exit the exosuit.
• Use an ID card/PDA on exosuit and select "Edit operation keycodes".

B) DNA lock:

DNA locking only allows the person matching the recorded DNA sample to enter. This can be abused by changelings.

• Enter the exosuit and open the stats menu.
• Unter Permissions&Logging, click "DNA-lock".
• To remove the lock, hit "[ Reset ]" next to your DNA string under "DNA-locked:".

Exosuit Repairs

Just use a welder on the exosuit to repair it.

Exosuit Battery Replacement

1. Make sure maintenance protocols are permitted (Permissions&Logging inside the mech).
2. Hit the exosuit with your ID card or PDA with ID inside and select "Initiate maintenance protocol".
3. Wrench
4. Crowbar
5. Screwdriver
6. Pick the old battery up from the floor
7. New Battery
8. Screwdriver
9. Crowbar
10. Wrench
11. ID Card and select "Initiate maintenance protocol" again.
12. Optional: Forbid maintenance protocols inside the mech.

Exosuit Equipment

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

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

Drill	The drill can completely destroy most objects (with the exception of reinforced walls) in a few seconds. Using the drill on someone will deal heavy damage to them after a few seconds. So don't do that unless you're a traitor. When used for mining, targeted and two adjacent mineral deposits will be drilled. If Ripley exosuit is equipped with Hydraulic Clamp and has an Ore Box in cargo, all mined ore will be moved to the Ore Box. Can't be attached to the Odysseus.
Diamond Drill	Essentially an upgraded drill. Is faster and much stronger - you can go right through reinforced walls. Can't be attached to the Odysseus.
Teleporter	Exosuit-mounted teleporter. Can teleport the exosuit to any location in view.
Gravitational Catapult	Can be used to throw objects around (S mode) or move them away from target (P mode).
Wormhole Generator	As the name implies, Wormhole Generator creates a wormhole (similar to ones spawned at Space-Time Anomalies event) at target location.
Mounted RCD	An exosuit-mounted Rapid Construction Device.
Armor Booster Module (Close Combat Weaponry)	Boosts exosuit armor against armed melee attacks. Requires energy to operate.
Armor Booster Module (Ranged Weaponry)	Boosts exosuit armor against ranged attacks. Completely blocks taser shots. Requires energy to operate.
Repair Droid	Automated repair droid. Scans exosuit for damage and repairs it. Can fix almost all types of external or internal damage.
Energy Relay	Wirelessly drains energy from any available power channel in area. The performance index is quite low.
Plasma Converter	Generates power using solid plasma as fuel. Occasionally releases plasma clouds.
ExoNuclear Reactor	Generates power using uranium. Irradiates the environment.
