Items

Cable Coil

Местонахождение: Nearly everywhere
Используется для: Laying electrical wires, building things that use electricity
Стратегия: Wire is a resource, and can be used in many constructions and to lay down power lines. Make sure all APCs are connected to the main lines with wires, or you'll have black outs.

Описание

Almost all machines require wires, including the singularity engine. Make sure you don't touch wires on the ground without insulated gloves. By right clicking, you can turn the wires into ghetto restraints that will tie someone down for 30 seconds. Comes in many fun colors.

Power Cell

Местонахождение: Cargo, Engineering, EVA, Tech Storage, Primary Tool Storage, R&D, Robotics
Используется для: Building things that use electricity
Стратегия: Used to power APCs, cyborgs and various electrical equipment.

Описание

Comes in four varieties:

• Standard (1 kW)
• High-capacity (10 kW)
• Super-capacity (20 kW)
• Hyper-capacity (30 kW)

Tools

Crowbar

Местонахождение: Nearly everywhere
Используется для: Opening airlocks, breaking things.
Стратегия: If the power goes out on the station, you will need a crowbar to open doors. Otherwise its just for breaking things.

Описание

The crowbar can pry open things or pry closed things and is used in deconstructing objects like computers and airlocks. It will open powered down doors and fire doors. You can use it to remove floor tiles, especially useful when they are damaged or you believe wires have been cut. Comes in two flavors, gunmetal grey and robust red.

Screwdriver

Местонахождение: Auxiliary Tool Storage, Engineering, EVA, Primary Tool Storage, R&D, Robotics
Используется для: Construction and deconstruction
Стратегия: Almost every machine requires a screwdriver to build it or take it apart.

Описание

A simple, but often needed tool. Everything from APCs to windows to computers can be unscrewed. Grilles can be unscrewed and pulled away instead of broken. A screwdriver to the eyes is a dangerous weapon.

Wirecutters

Местонахождение: Auxiliary Tool Storage, Engineering, EVA, Tech Storage, Primary Tool Storage, R&D, Robotics
Используется для: Removing wires
Стратегия: One quick snip and you can remove wires from any machine, security camera, or from the floor. Make sure to wear gloves.

Описание

More or less an undo tool with wires. Can be used to disable cameras, and needed to take apart most machines. Can also be used to destroy grille in two hits.

Wrench

Местонахождение: Nearly everywhere
Используется для: Deconstruction, attaching bolts
Стратегия: Wrenches are usually used to take things apart, like wall girders, or tables. Only the emitters and computers use them in construction stages. They either fasten bolts, or take apart bolts.

Описание

This tool is used more to take the station apart than to put it together. Most departments need one to secure some machine or another.

Welding Tool

Местонахождение: Auxiliary Tool Storage, Engineering, EVA, Primary Tool Storage, R&D, Robotics
Используется для: Sealing airlocks, construction and deconstruction. Fighting aliens.
Стратегия: You can cut all manner of things apart, from lockers (open locker, click while lit) to walls. OR, You can weld shut doors and lockers. It is useless when out of fuel.

Описание

A must have for engineers. Any modifications you make to the station will require this tool. You can get an industrial version with double fuel capacity from a hacked vending machine or Cargo, but you cannot store it in a belt. It does have an open flame, so it will light everything from cigarettes to plasma. Use it as a weapon against weeds and vines. Don't refuel it when lit unless you want an explosion.

Multitool

Местонахождение: Cargo, Engineering, EVA, Maintenance, Tech Storage, Primary Tool Storage, Robotics
Используется для: Hacking
Стратегия: Multitools are used to pulse wires while hacking anything. Having one gives you more control over the device you are hacking.

Описание

Used for hacking Airlocks, APCs, Auto-lathes, Mule-bots, vending machines, and nearly anything else with a panel. See the guide to hacking for more information.

Analyzer

Местонахождение: Toolboxes
Используется для: Scanning the air
Стратегия: If you ever needed a complex readout about your current atmosphere, this is the tool for you.

Описание

Made practically worthless by the PDA air scanner.

T-ray Scanner

Местонахождение: Auxiliary Tool Storage, Engineering, EVA, Primary Tool Storage, R&D, Robotics
Используется для: Seeing under floor tiles
Стратегия: If you are actually doing repair work, a T-ray scanner in your pocket will let you plan out wires and pipes.

Описание

Click on it on your hand to activate. When activated it will reveal wires and pipes under the flooring, and make cloaked people flicker. You can put it in your belt, or leave them lying all over the place.

Equipment

SMES Cell

Местонахождение: Engineering, Solars, AI Chamber, Mining Station
Используется для: Storing and distributing power
Стратегия: Set an input (must be lower value than the input from wire, otherwise nothing goes in!), set on output (preferably smaller than the input so something will actually be stored in the cell), and watch the station flourish!

Описание

Huge, immovable cell/battery for power distributing purposes. Maximum capacity 5 megawatts.

Left lights represent how much of the SMES is loaded.
The top right light shows the input power status. If it's off = none, red = on but receiving no power, blinking yellow = receiving power and loading.

The middle right light shows the output power status. If it's off = not outputting power, green = outputting power.

APC
Area Power Controller

Местонахождение: Every room with power
Используется для: Controlling the power for a sector on the station.
Стратегия: Have engineering access, swipe your ID on it to unlock it and choose your action.

Описание

Actions available on the APC:

Main Breaker: On/Off - Toggles power to the room
Equipment: Auto/On/Off - Toggles power to computers, doors, and other electronic equipment.
Lighting: Auto/On/Off - Toggles power to lighting in the area.
Environmental: Auto/On/Off - Toggles power to the ventilation in the area, as well as the Air Alarm.
Cover Lock: Engaged/Disengaged: Provides a cover to protect the battery.

Remember, 'Auto' power settings slowly cuts off each breaker when power runs low (<20 %) in this order: Equipment, Lighting, Environment.

Replacing the APC's Battery

---

To replace the APC battery, you need an ID with sufficient access to unlock the APC itself.

1. Swipe your ID and unlock the interface.
2. Open the panel and disengage the cover lock.
3. Use a crowbar on the APC to open the cover.
4. Take the battery out with a free hand and then place in the new one.
5. Close the cover again with your crowbar, re-engage the cover lock and swipe your ID to secure the interface.

Cell Charger

Местонахождение: Cargo, Engineering, Primary Tool Storage, R&D, Robotics
Используется для: Recharging power cells
Стратегия: Place power cells into these to charge them up

Описание

These will drain power directly from the room's APC unit to fill power cells. Beware with high capacity cells, as they will drain the room's APC completely. Can be secured and unsecured using a wrench.

P.A.C.M.A.N.-type portable Generator

Местонахождение: Engineering Secure Storage
Используется для: Portable backup generator
Стратегия: Mostly used to jump start the Singularity

Описание

Needs Plasma Bars as fuel to generate power. Can be secured and unsecured using a wrench.
