Clothing is what keeps you warm in the winter, let alone the dead of space. Below are the objects which you can wear.
Short guide to clothes
Inventory
Your character has following slots that are always available:
- Jumpsuit
- External suit
- Back
- Mask
- Shoes
- Gloves
- Ears
- Glasses
- Hat
Jumpsuit unlocks for you:
- Belt
- Pockets
- ID slot
And external suit unlocks for you an external suit storage.
Contents of your pockets are not visible for others, but if someone tries to empty them you do not get a message unless you move. Pockets can hold tiny and small items. They can also hold mining satchel, despite it being a normal-sized item.
If you have a storage item in one of your slots, you can click on it to open it. If you want to take it to your hand, drag it to the hand slot with your mouse. You can also drag an item to your character on the map to open it. This will work with a pill bottle in your pocket, for example, or if you have something in your hands.
Damage protection
There are several types of damage in the game. Various pieces of clothing offer protection for the body parts they cover.
- Melee
- Bullet
- Laser
- Energy
- Bomb
- Biological
- Radiation
- Fire
- Acid
Temperature protection
Some pieces of clothing offer protection from high/low temperatures. High-temperature protection is needed when everything is on fire. Low-temperature protection is needed when you are in space or very close to being in space. Items only protect body parts they cover.
Jumpsuits
Having a jumpsuit is extremely important. Without a jumpsuit you will not have an ID slot, a belt slot, or any pocket slots. The jumpsuit is also useful in identifying your department at a glance, and so can be used as part of a disguise. In addition, jumpsuits now have a full suite of sensors that can be toggled and adjusted by right-clicking on it. They can give out data to the bridge including your location, your health, and your mortality. Some jumpsuits made to be practical will offer minor protection, which will be noted in it's description. For example, the virologist's jumpsuit has minor projection to biohazards, while the Head of Security's will have a small amount of protection from blunt trauma. Plasmaman jumpsuits prevent plasmamen from being on fire when worn with a plasmaman helmet.
A bit different from the others is the prisoner's jumpsuit. In addition to its distinctive colour, its suit sensors are always on maximum.
You can wash a jumpsuit in a washing machine with a crayon to paint it.
Используется для: To hide your naked body, jumpsuits provides a belt slot, ID slot and two pockets for storage. They also come equipped with adjustable suit sensors which, when enabled will show useful information about the wearer on crew monitoring consoles
Стратегия: Just wear it at all times as they're useful and practical
Job-specific jumpsuits offer minor protection from for example radiation (engineering), brute (security) or acid (science).
Headgear
Different kinds of hats for various purposes.

Hardsuits
Hardsuits are coldproof (if powered), pressure-proof, protect from electric arcs (especially when worn with yellow gloves!) and come with a built-in helmet that can be toggled on/off.
Most are flash proof and offer a bit of protection from brute damage, heat and radiation. All types of spacesuits will only keep you warm if its internal cell has power. Charge a spacesuit by keeping it in suit storage or by replacing the cell.
Cell replacement and thermal settings:
- The cell cover can be toggled by alt+clicking (press the button) or using a crowbar (just pry it open) on the suit.
- With the cover open you can remove the cell by using the suit in hand or ctrl+clicking the suit.
- With the cover open you can also use a screwdriver to set the thermal regulator's temperature. The normal range is 20 c to 45 c.

Shoes
Shoes can look stylish, and they can also help you not go all John McClane on the glass shards.
Certain shoes and boots can be used to store items - for example a knife or an esword.
Используется для: Protecting your feet from glass, making you walk faster
Стратегия: Wear them. Don't take them off unless you're changing them for another pair
Используется для: Squeaking, and making H.O.N.K. mechs
Стратегия: Makes that annoying squeaking sound as the clown walks. Slightly slower than normal shoes.
Используется для: They prevent you from slipping on everything but space lube
Стратегия: Other crew members will often seek these out to avoid falling victim to the clown or excessive mopping.
Wearing these will reduce your walking speed.
(If you don't want people to slip, why are you using the mop in the first place?)
Используется для: Preventing you from moving unintentionally in space
Стратегия: Make sure you toggle them on via the object tab for them to work. Prevents unintentional movement whilst EVA and slows you down greatly for careful, deliberate movement
Используется для: Dressing your prisoners
Стратегия: Apply cuffs to shoes, put them on prisoners
Gloves
Can be used to hide fingerprints and protection from certain objects. You can wash gloves with a crayon to change their color.
Используется для: Completing a outfit, or hiding fingerprints
Стратегия: These gloves give heat protection, so wear them while firefighting and removing lightbulbs
Используется для: Trolling
Стратегия: With all these budget cuts, Nanotrasen cannot afford high quality gloves for all crewmen. Budget gloves usually only provide the half protection from electric shocks most other gloves give, but can sometimes have full protection, 25% protection, or make you take more damage than if you were otherwise bare handed! These are far easier to obtain than regular insulated gloves, so roll the dice with them if you want.
Используется для: To stop you from being shocked
Стратегия: Trade your old gloves in for these, if you're not worried about disease. These handy yellow gloves are much coveted by the crew. While not as stylish as black gloves, they hide your fingerprints just as well and also protect the wearer from electric shock when hacking and manipulating power cables. Washing gloves with a yellow crayon will name them insulated gloves, but they will not protect you from shocks. Throw these gloves in a washing machine with a crayon to change the glove's distinct colour and name so you are not accosted for wearing them.
Используется для: Makes you slightly faster at lifting people up for fireman carrying. They also partially prevent the passing of disease and leave only partial fingerprints
Стратегия: Latex gloves are white and thin, they are the least suspicious of the gloves to be worn because they are so common and so freely passed out. It is far easier to dispose of gloves than it is to wash your bare hands. They can also be blown up into balloons! You will still burn yourself on light bulbs with these. You will only take 30% damage from shocks with these. When washed with a crayon, they become normal gloves.
Используется для: Makes you even faster at lifting people up for fireman carrying than latex gloves do. Decreasing a chance of speading a disease and not leaving fingerprints.
Стратегия: Thicker and rarer brother of latex gloves. They do not leave fingerprints, they will however leave a nitrile fibers so be wary. Similarly to latex gloves they provide 30% shock resistance.
Используется для: Holding some special plant types
Стратегия: Holding nettles and growing them to insta-crit people. They also protect against temperature.
Используется для: Both combat and electrical work.
Стратегия: Hiding fingerprints while hacking doors in safety.
Используется для: Krav Maga combat and shock insulation.
Стратегия: Beat enemies with Krav Maga.
Tackling Gloves
These let you tackle people by enabling throw mode and clicking. Results are random.
Click expand for detailed explanation.
Tackles can be launched by equipping the appropriate gloves, enabling throw mode, and clicking on your target with an empty hand (assuming you're standing and not pulling anything). You will throw yourself at what you clicked, with special results if you hit a carbon/human mob, or any other dense thing failing that.
If you hit a carbon mob, the game will roll a die and tally modifiers for both the tackler and target based on their status (dwarves and the developmentally clumsy are easier to tackle and worse at landing tackles, while giants have bonuses for both for example. Neutral rolls will see both parties take some stamina damage and a few seconds of knockdown, with favorable rolls for a certain party reducing their knockdown time and adding a bit of paralyzing to the loser. Generally, tackling is a disarming tactic and works better if you have backup to protect you and seize the opportunity you created while you're picking yourself up from the ground, rather than a solo tool. If you're a giant or have the special bruiser gloves, though, you can rely on them more for solo takedowns (as long as you don't miss!)
If, instead, you launch yourself into a dense non-mob, you'll roll a die from 1-100 for what you suffer. The ill effects range from a brief knockdown and negligible brute and stamina damage, to concussions and brain damage, to outright paralyzation in the worst cases. Remember to wear a helmet before you decide to randomly launch yourself headfirst into a wall!

Backwear
Different kinds of things which go on your back. Most people will wear a backpack, satchel or dufflebag at all times.
Используется для: Storing unneeded crap
Стратегия: You're going to want this. It's used for storing stuff, but, keep in mind that a backpack cannot store everything, such as toolboxes and other backpacks. But can generally store everything else. You also have a limited storage space.
Используется для: Storing unneeded crap
Стратегия: Functionally identical to the backpack, but it looks more fashionable.
Используется для: Storing more unneeded crap
Стратегия: Functionally similar to the backpack, but can hold more things at the expense of slowing you down.
Используется для: Propelling yourself in space
Стратегия: Put it on your back and switch it on to maneuver in space or low-gravity areas.
For proper use of a jetpack, remember these simple rules:
- Black jetpacks are filled with carbon dioxide by default. Using these jetpacks as internals will knock you unconscious and suffocate you. Can be refilled with anything.
- Refill blue jetpacks with oxygen, not air (if you wish to use it for your internals, otherwise fill with any gas).
- Always set it to 16-25 pressure if you aren't using the emergency mask from your starting box. If you still have that, hurry up and find something else!
- Always toggle it on when you want to move or need to move quickly, but toggle stabilization off if you're just drifting so as to not waste your supply and remain untrackable.
Most jetpacks are too bulky to be stowed in a backpack.
Hardsuits can be upgraded to have an integrated jetpack, which works with a gas tank in the suit storage slot. Advanced hardsuits start off with one of these installed.
Void Jet Packs may also be found in [REDACTED], which are filled with oxygen.Belts
Belts are a type of containers that can only hold specific items. They are to not be confused with belt slot of character's inventory. Belts that exist in the game are:
Используется для: Toolbelts can hold some kinds of tiny items, most commonly tools

Earpieces
These little devices are issued to every crew member upon arrival on the station. Every job, no matter how insignificant, gets some form of headset. In order to talk to the station with it simply type say ;(your text here).
Different branches of the station get a unique headset with its own private channel. In order to use this channel type in say .h (your text here). And your message will be broadcast to others with the same type of headset. Note that this does not work on the basic model. You can tell the basic model by its black coloring and lack of label.
All headsets are equipped with a standard encryption key used for the common channel. Screwdrivers can be used to remove the encryption keys and use them in a different headset. All department headsets come with two keys. Use your headset in hand to manually enable or disable keys, or change your default channel.
Here is a list of channels and how to access them. Examining your headset also shows you all possible channels. # and . can be used instead of :
.c = Command .s = Security .e = Engineering .u = Supply .m = Medical .n = Science .v = Service
Using .h will connect you with your default department's channel.
Other uses:
.b = Binary (For AI and cyborgs) .a = Alien .g = Changeling .i = Intercom .h = AI Holopad (For AI) .o = AI Private (For AI) .l = Left Hand .r = Right Hand .t = Syndicate/Traitor (For when you have a Syndicate encryption key)
See Radio channels.
Используется для: Normal radio chat as well as all department channels.
Стратегия: Use this to coordinate all departments.
Captain's headset:
.c - command, .s - security, .e - engineering, .u - supply, .v - service, .m - medical, .n - science
Head of Personnel's headset:
