Items
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.
Используется для: Building things that use electricity
Стратегия: Used to power APCs, cyborgs and various electrical equipment.
Tools
Используется для: Making and destroying walls, windows, airlocks, and floors.
Use this tool in hand to open a radial menu, where you can choose mode and change many settings, such as airlock access, airlock type and window type. Then click on an area or object with it to utilize the set settings.
- 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)
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 an RCD advanced design disk, which can be printed from the engineering protolathe after research. This lets the RCD create:
- Wired/wrenched machine frames
- Computer frames
- 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.
- 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.

Engineering Gear
Equipment
Используется для: Supplying yourself with electronics and engineering equipment
Стратегия: Get a loaded RCD from here.
Используется для: Storing and distributing power
Стратегия: Set an input (how much power will be drawn from input wire terminal), set on output (preferably smaller than the input so something will actually be stored in the cell), and watch the station flourish!
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.
Используется для: Controlling the power for a sector on the station.
Стратегия: Have power equipment access, swipe your ID on it to unlock it and choose your action.
- 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.
- Swipe ID with power equipment access to unlock the interface.
- Open the panel and disengage the cover lock.
- Use a crowbar on the APC to open the cover.
- Take the battery out with a free hand.
- place in the new battery.
- Close the cover again with your crowbar.
- Re-engage the cover lock.
- 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.

Используется для: Creating energy from radiation.
Converts the Plasma into Tritium. Can alternatively be used to generate research points instead of power.
To change configuration to research mode, fill the tank with Tritium and Oxygen instead of Plasma. Then use a multitool on the Radiation Collector.
Examine it to see current configuration. A generic supermatter setup can produce a total of 10 points per minute for each Radiation Collector generating points.
In this research mode, the tank must also be refilled every 5 minutes or so.
