Стратегия: Multitools are used to pulse wires while hacking anything. Having one gives you more control over the device you are hacking.
Используется для: Scanning the air
Стратегия: If you ever needed a complex readout about your current atmosphere, this is the tool for you.
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.
Используется для: Laying cosmetic pipe cleaners
Стратегия: Wield it with both your hands, walk slowly
Используется для: Painting airlocks
Стратегия: Put a toner in it and use it on an airlock and select how you want it to look
Используется для: Same as a regular welding tool
Стратегия: Welding stuff
Используется для: Recharging machines
Стратегия: Use inducers to recharge essential machines (cloning, RnD, ORM) when the power goes out.
Используется для: Prying open doors, cutting wires, popping out floor tiles
Стратегия: It's a crowbar and a pair of wirecutters combined into a single tool
Используется для: Exposing wires, securing objects
Стратегия: It's a screwdriver and a wrench combined into a single tool
Используется для: Welding stuff
Стратегия: It's a better welding tool
Используется для: Detecting Radiation.
Стратегия: Use it on people or objects to see whats causing all the radiation poisoning.
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 (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!
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.

Стратегия: Place in front of a Particle Accelerator
Используется для: Creating and maintaining a Singularity
Стратегия: Set a Gravitational Singularity Generator in front of it and turn it on
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.
Используется для: Used to seal minor hull breaches
Стратегия: Wrench it in place near a hull breach and turn it on
Используется для: To seal in/out aliens and such
Стратегия: Wrench it in place
Используется для: Creating gravity to the station
Стратегия: If broken, fix it with a screwdriver, welding tool, 10 units of plasteel and then a wrench.
Используется для: Creating power through a contained small fire
Стратегия: Make inferno fire to compressor-side, turn Gas Turbine Generator on, open the turbine-end to space so fire moves through the machine to generate power. Higher airflow and temperature makes more power.
