Grenades are made of three things: Chemicals, trigger assemblies, and a crunchy candy coating (usually made of metal). When you arm them, the trigger sits there, waiting patiently for an excuse to go off, until finally the grenade primes, the chemicals mix, and whatever happens, happens.

Construction

  1. Obtain a Grenade Casing (regular or large), one to two bottles or beakers full of your payload (see below for ideas), and a Cable Coil.
    • You can create a slime core grenade by substituting a slime core for one of the bottles, but only when using a Large Grenade Casing obtained from R&D. Be sure you have another bottle with the necessary reagent, or the slime core won't do anything!
  2. Attach the Cable Coil to the Grenade Casing.
    • The Cable Coil can be replaced by a trigger assembly if another kind of bomb is desired.
      1. Use a screwdriver to ready the Igniter and trigger for assembly. When they are "can be attached", use one on the other to create an (trigger)-Igniter Assembly.
        • Possible triggers: Timer, Proximity Sensor, Mousetrap, Remote Signaling Device, Voice Analyzer, or Infrared Emitter.
      2. Attach the (trigger)-Igniter Assembly to the Grenade Casing.
  3. Insert the bottles or breakers with your payload into the Unsecured Grenade.
  4. Screwdriver the grenade finish construction

A Wrench can be used to extract the payload from an Unsecured Grenade. If the Wrench is used on an empty Unsecured Grenade the trigger will be removed and leave it to be just a Grenade Casing.

For a list of possible chemical reactions, see the Guide to chemistry. Note that some reactions go off immediately when mixed, and must be separated into two bottles. Also note that slime cores are volatile, and when used in grenades, some reagents may be lost.

Triggers

The grenade will be work differently depending on the trigger used in it's construction:

Use

Use a grenade in hand to activate it in case of a Cable trigger. If any other kind of trigger is used, the trigger's default menu will open and allow for it's settings to be changed and activated.

When the grenade goes off, the chemical beakers/bottles inside will mix their contents. If the mixture causes an effect (Smoke, an explosion, etc), it will happen at this time; otherwise, the resultant chemicals will be spread over everything in range. A grenade filled with Space Lube, for instance, will coat every nearby floor surface with slippery goop; a grenade filled with Mindbreaker Toxin will cause everyone unlucky enough to be in range to trip fucking balls.

Disarming

If you use a Screwdriver on a Grenade, you will unsecure it and there by stop it's timer. A Wrench can then be used to remove the payload to prevent anyone from rearming it.
