• Deconstruct a floor tile into space (33 Ammo)
• Deconstruct a grille (4 Ammo)
• Deconstruct a window (8 Ammo)
• Deconstruct an airlock (32 Ammo)

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

• Can be upgraded with the RCD advanced design disks, which can be printed from the engineering protolathe after research. This lets the RCD create:
  • RCD frames designs upgrade: Wired/wrenched computer and machine frames
  • Simple circuits designs upgrade: Simple circuits, which contain the designs for firelock, air alarm, fire alarm, apc circuits and basic power cells. These work the same as the engineering cyborg's Electroadaptive Pseudocircuit.
  • RCD furnishing upgrade: Chairs, and tables.

• Can also be upgraded with an Advanced RCD silo link upgrade, which can be printed from the engineering protolathe after research. With this upgrade, the RCD can be used on an Ore Silo to permanently link it. Afterwards, use the radial menu of the RCD to select an option there which makes it pull materials directly from that silo. It can be toggled back to using its internal storage at any time.

Описание

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

Remember: Wire connected to the floor terminal = power input. Wire 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.

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 in this order:
<30 % = Equipment off, <15% = Lighting and Environment off.

Replacing the APC's Battery:

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.

If an APC looks like this (blue with blinking red lights), it's either emagged or the AI is malfunctioning.

If an APC looks like this (blue with moving bar) it is just charging and yelling MALF in the radio will make everyone 1. laugh at you and 2. not believe you when you actually find real hacked APCs.
