Atmospherics items

This page needs revising! The following page is out of date and/or needs to be revised. If the page's guide needs revision, see here for an example. The revision reason is: "Placeholder page, needs items to be added. Thinking of adding all Pipes to here as well. Needs clarification on Pipe Dispenser mechanics. Both entries contradict each other."

Items

Fire Extinguisher Found in: Extinguisher lockers Used for: Extinguishing fires and the lives of unaware command staff, ghetto jetpacks Strategy: A fire extinguisher will spray water across the room to put out fires or change your direction in space. Description This has multiple uses, from being a staple of space travel to rocketing yourself down a hallway strapped to a wheeled chair, to even its intended purpose. Easily the best weapon against Slimes. A Chaplain can bless the water in a fire extinguisher to bless an entire stretch of hallway at once. Will need refilling at a water tank.

Minature Fire Extinguisher Found in: Emergency Toolboxes Used for: Putting out small fires, ghetto jetpacks Strategy: A fire extinguisher will spray water across the room to put out fires or change your direction in space. Description Functionally the same as a normal fire extinguisher, but has a smaller capactity and can fit into your pockets. Will need refilling at a water tank.

Emergency Oxygen Tank Found in: Atmospherics Office, Emergency Lockers, internals box Used for: As the name suggest, used as an emergency oxygen supply. It's not a question about if you need it, it's a question of when you need it, keep one with you at all time. Strategy: Stuff it in your pocket, belt, or suit slot and leave it there, you'll need it. Description A small oxygen tank that you can wear in your belt slot or in the suit slot of various suits. It is typically kept at approximately 21 kPa with a minimal release setting. Oxygen tanks of all sizes can be filled by Atmospheric Technicians and are used with a breath mask to set up an internal air supply. You might want to set this to 16 kPa release pressure. Can be filled to 1013 kPa.

Oxygen Tank Found in: Tank dispensers, Emergency Lockers, Mining Outpost EVA Used for: Mostly used for hardsuits as it nicely fit in to the suit slot, but is sadly too big for a pocket. Also used for bomb making. Strategy: Don't forget one of these when you grab a hardsuit. Description An emergency oxygen tank with a much bigger capacity and a much slower oxygen consuming rate. A must for miners who like to stay in space for long times. Can be filled to 1013 kPa.

Plasma Tank Found in: Tank dispensers Used for: Used for the Singularity Engine and bomb making. Strategy: Handle with care. Description Used by Engineers for radiation collection from the Singularity Engine, by Scientists for bombs, and your typical scoundrel for lightning fires with a flamethrower or releasing toxins into the air, plasma is the most hunted resource by NanoTrasen. It's the reason you are here.

Equipment

Canister Found in: Emergency Storage, Maintenance, Atmospherics, Toxins Lab Used for: Used for holding and transporting gases like Oxygen, Plasma gas and the like. Strategy: Place around hallways, wait for Assistants to open them for no reason. Description When new and before use, or when almost fully emptied, a label can be selected from its interface. This will change its color to indicate what it may contain (or fooling people into thinking it contains Oxygen and not Plasma) Can be made with 10 sheets of Metal.

Space Heater Found in: Emergency Storage, Maintenance, Atmospherics Used for: Heating up a cold area. Strategy: Set heat to high and drag it along with you to prolong a spacesuit-less space walk. Description Made by the Space Amish, it can reliably heat up a room to livable temperature. Requires an energy cell, all of them are loaded with crappy 1000 Watt one, keep it in mind if you need free battery.

Portable Pump Found in: Locker Room, Atmospherics, Hallway outside the Atmospherics office Used for: Filling a room with air. Can also be use to suck the air out of a room. Strategy: Set pump direction to out and power to maximum, then watch things fly as you turn it on. Description It both sucks and blows. Be sure to connect it to the blue ports outside Atmospherics to fill it up with delicious air mix beforehand. Turn it on, and it re-pressurizes a room until the air runs out.

Portable Scrubber Found in: Locker Room, Atmospherics, Hallway outside the Atmospherics office Used for: Cleaning the air from Plasma gas and other unwanted gasses. Also used for empting Plasma Tanks and Oxygen Tanks. Strategy: Pull it to the (Plasma) leak and turn it on. Description In with the bad air, out with the good air. Flip it on to clean the air very slowly. Connect it to the red ports outside Atmospherics to empty it out once it's full. Make sure you also re-fill the area with clean oxygen.

Pipe Dispenser Found in: Atmospherics Used for: Making pipes and pumps. Strategy: It is still possible to dispose of pipes and pumps into it when it's in movable-mode. Description Using a Wrench will toggle it between movable-mode and dispensing-mode. When in dispensing-mode and in a powered room, it can dispense pipes and pumps for use. Despite not being able to pick them up with your hands, you can drag the pipe onto the dispenser to dispose of extras.
