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

Comes in many fun colors. Can be laid down on the plating to distribute electrical power, read the guide to wiring to see how. 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 to tie someone down, but only takes 30 seconds to get out of.

Rapid Construction Device (RCD)

Местонахождение: EVA, Engi-Vend
Используется для: Making and destroying walls, doors, and floors.

Описание

An experimental device which can build, or deconstruct areas rapidly. This is held in the EVA for emergencies (and is the Chief Engineer's responsibility). However they can be made in hacked autolathes as well.

This little bugger can be set (by clicking in active hand) to do a number of things:

• Build Floors (2 Ammo)
• Build a Wall (16 Ammo)
• Build a wall on top of a girder (8 Ammo)
• Build a Grille (4 Ammo)
• Build a Window (8 Ammo)
• Build a Reinforced Window (12 Ammo)
• Build an airlock (16 Ammo)
• Deconstruct a girder(13 Ammo)
• Deconstruct a wall(26 Ammo) (Can't deconstruct reinforced walls, unless it's a cyborg or mech RCD)
• Deconstruct a floor tile into space(33 Ammo)
• Deconstruct a grille(4 Ammo)
• Deconstruct a window(8 Ammo)
• Deconstruct an airlock(32 Ammo)

Right click to toggle airlock access and appearance, and to swap between normal and reinforced windows.

Can be loaded with Compressed Matter Cartridges and regular metal and glass sheets. One Cartridge holds 40 units, with 160 being the maximum. Be forewarned that changing RCD mode can cause it to emit sparks, which can cause fires in plasma-rich environiments.

It also can robust the shit out people. Or AIs, if needed.

Advanced Rapid Construction Device (ARCD)

Местонахождение: Admin Magicks
Используется для: Making and destroying walls, doors, and floors, from a distance

Описание

The ARCD is an RCD, except it can construct and deconstruct items from a distance. Unfortunately, short of serious admin fuckery, it cannot be obtained through normal play. Most often used for making Ratvar cry a river.

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 it's just for breaking things.

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.

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. Most modifications you make to the station will require this tool. 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. Be sure to use eye protection unless you like slowly going blind. You can get an industrial version with double fuel capacity from the welding lockers from Engineering, ordering one from Cargo or from a hacked vending machine.

SMES
Superconducting Magnetic Energy Storage

Местонахождение: Engineering, Solars, AI Chamber, Mining Station, Telecommunications
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 cell/battery for power distributing purposes. Maximum capacity 5 megawatts.

Remember: Wire connected to the floor terminal = power input. Wire knot under the SMES = power output.
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.

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

1. Swipe ID with power equipment access to 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.
5. place in the new battery.
6. Close the cover again with your crowbar.
7. Re-engage the cover lock.
8. Swipe ID to secure the interface.
