Куратор проводит большую часть времени в библиотеке распечатывая множество копий «Похотливой мейдочки ксеноморфа» или бегая в красном костюме и пробивая сваркой стены везде, куда нет доступа (то есть везде). Сама библиотека имеет постоянство своего содержимого от игры к игре на серверах - все правильно загруженные книги могут быть скачаны в любом другом раунде.
Самые минимальные требования: Узнайте, как писать и публиковать книги. Уметь ориентироваться в графическом интерфейсе библиотечного компьютера.
Добро пожаловать на выставку!
К сожалению, вы не будете отправляться в крутые приключения, чтобы добыть магические артефакты. Вы будете раздавать книги, в редких случаях, когда кто-то попросит книгу (см. ниже). Вам также придется иногда заменять библию священника. Последняя область вашей работы - загрузка новых книг в архив (см. ниже). Так что берите ручку и бумагу,и пишите текста!
Куратор и его библиотека
Прежде всего, пополните свою библиотеку важными книгами. Во время старта раунда ваши книжные полки будут практически пустыми! Экипаж не захочет оставаться в библиотеке в которой нет книг. Чтобы исправить ситуацию, воспользуйтесь компьютером в библиотеке и используйте его функцию 4. Подключиться к внешнему архиву. Вот в чем заключается главное блюдо вашего существования, чтобы разобраться в беспорядке книг и найти только ЛУЧШИЕ. Книги не отсортированы, не поддаются сортировке и выглядят так, будто в них нет никакого порядка. В архиве вы найдете даже копии многих книг. Чтобы получить выбранную книгу, просто нажмите кнопку ORDER, и принтер компьютера регистрации/выдачи будет гудеть, создавая полностью переплетенную книгу.
Сканер штрих-кодов понадобится для регистрации книг в компьютере местной библиотеке. У него есть 4 настройки:
Mode 0 : Scan book to local buffer. Mode 1 : Scan book to local buffer and set associated computer buffer to match. Mode 2 : Scan book to local buffer, attempt to check in scanned book. Mode 3 : Scan book to local buffer, attempt to add book to general inventory.
(*Note:Use the scanner on the computer, otherwise it won't work)
The Library is not your workspace, but a home, to you and your books. Your books are like people in a 1960s bus, so keep your books segregated. Sort them on their labeled book-shelves: Religious, Fiction, Adult (read: erotic fanfics), Reference, and the back room's Forbidden Knowledge. You can use your bookbag, which works like a mining satchel or plant bag, to carry multiple books at once.
How To Add A Book To The Database
- Get Paper and a Pen.
- Write your love story about those Lusty Xenos on the paper.
- Take your story to the East Back of the Library to the Book Binder, and slap that epic story onto the binder. This will spit out your new award winning story.
- Still have that pen? Good, you can sign your name, add more content, and even title it.
- This book is ready to be send though the Nanotrasen command! Ask the Curator to scan this book into the computer, using the Scanner.
- Once scanned, use the Check In/Out Computer's 5th function, titled, "5. Upload New Title to Archive".
- Here you can change the category, change the author once more, and view the title.
- After reviewing the book, and being ready to publish, use the "UPLOAD" command.
How To Add A Painting To The Database
Do you have an artistic soul? Did you look at the dozens of scrawled penises on the gallery wall and think: "Hey, I could do better than that"? Your prayers have been answered! Here is everything you need to know to ensure that your pixel art will be preserved in the /tg/station database until the sun explodes.
- Get a canvas. Some spawn in the library, but they can also be crafted from cloth.
- Get some crayons or a spraycan. Remember that with a spraycan, you can paint with all the colors of the RGB spectrum; a must have for any serious artist.
- While holding your tool of choice, left-click on the canvas to begin painting your masterpiece.
- Click "Finish" to finalize your painting, and give it a creative, thought-provoking title. You can also sign it, if you're a clout-chasing poser.
- Pick the "Collection" in which you want your painting to belong: Public, Secure, or Private. Note that not every station will have all three options. The collection you choose will affect where your painting will spawn. Public frames are usually the most numerous. Secure frames are usually behind glass. Private frames are located in the curator's office, or in a discreet location.
- Place the painting into one of the roundstart frames. If all the roundstart frames are occupied, you can remove a painting using wirecutters. Crafting your own painting frame and putting it on a wall won't save your painting.
- Ensure that your painting doesn't get removed from its frame before the shift ends.
- Voila! If your painting is in its frame at the end of the shift, it will be permanently saved to the database, and will have a chance of appearing the gallery in future rounds!
Adventuring
Do you think giving out books is boring? Does literally no one go to the library except for if they are seeking safety or committing a crime? Here you will learn about how to do fun shit and because no one cares about the library. (For more non-librarian librarian work check out the tips section)
The Heroic Beacon
Your loadout. This will decide your adventuring destiny:
- "First Man on the Moon - 1960's": A set containing an ancient NASA Voidsuit. Guaranteed* to not leak! Each set has:
- A Full NASA Voidsuit. A Stylish red without the hassle of more than two pieces.
- A GPS. For the space explorer who loses their way home.
- An Oxygen Tank.
- "Braveheart, the Scottish rebel - 1300's": A kit containing a patriotic Scottish Outfit. Wearing it fills you with a hatred of the English. This box contains:
- An unarmored Kilt with matching sandals.
- A Claymore with average damage and a chance to block incoming attacks.
- A can of
WarSpray paint.
- "Courageous Tomb Raider - 1940's": A set containing the gear of the infamous Indiana Jones. Perfect for the curator with a prize on his mind. Every set contains:
- A Full Treasure Hunter's garb. A Stylish hat, a Rugged armored Coat, a Classy Suit, and a pair of Boots designed for the rough outdoors.
- A Whip with average damage and a high chance to disarm opponents.
- "Carp Hunter, Wildlife Expert - 2506": A kit containing everything you need to become a World-Renowned* Carp Hunter! Each kit has:
- A battered Carp Space suit. Still space worthy, but if you want protection, you'd be better off wearing nothing.
- A Carp Face Mask. Pairs well with the suit.
- A hunting knife with minor damage and a bonus to Butchering.
- And a sack of meat, to feed your fishy friends.
- "Mothic Flight Pioneer - 2100's": A kit containing a Mothic Fleet member's standard equipment. Each kit has:
- A Mothic softcap and Flightsuit. The suit even comes with pockets for small snacks!
- A Wrench, Screwdriver, and Crowbar. For every maintenance need.

- An old-school Lantern.
- "Ethereal Trailwarden - 2450's": A set containing the outfit of a Sprout Trailwarden. Each set has:
- A Trailwarden tunic and Oilcoat.
- A Saddlepack. This bulky bag distributes the weight of what's put inside, letting it carry as much as a Duffle Bag without any of the slowdown.
Breaking News!
Behind the library desk is a handy newscaster to work with. Since the Curator is given a tape recorder and a camera with spare film, this allows you to keep the crew informed of station events, such as memorable performances by the clown, interviews with prominent people, murders or even writing smutty tabloid articles. Photos from your camera can be attached to the news articles you post. Alternatively, you could use your photocopier to copy your ass and attach the results to your news articles.
The newscaster can also print out up to 15 newspapers, and can be refilled by adding more paper. After that, you'll want to deliver the newspaper to frequently visited areas like the Medbay, Brig, and more.
Sanctuary
You have a little study with a bookshelf waiting to be filled with forbidden knowledge (read: pornography). In here, you should won't be safe from the Head of Security who didn't like your poetry readings. He can just ask the AI to open the door. When the lynch mob inevitably forms after you read aloud Woody's Got Wood, you can weld the door shut to buy yourself a precious few seconds before someone unwelds it, as the Head of Personnel will often storm the room, shoot you with an energy gun and hand you over to security officers. If he doesn't just laser you to death on the spot.
Languages
As an academic, you studied even the most obscure languages known in the universe. You can innately understand secret cultspeak, robotic beeping, drone chatter, and can even interpret xenomorph hissing. What is seriously puzzling is that you can also speak those languages, which supports the theory that Curators are just failed wizards.
Tips
- Curator system is much more robust than most people think:
- You can activate barcode scanner to switch modes.
- You can use it to add printed books to your library's "inventory", then use the check in/check out computer to actually give people books for specified amount of time, like a real library would.
- You can cut inventory slots in books with wirecutters.
- Your whip will instantly disarm anyone you hit with it.
- Many people don't visit the library because the literature is
trashpoorly curated. Try setting aside a special shelf with hand-picked books. Decorate, advertise and hold events to attract the attention of passerby! - You have Construction access so you can make a base and go to lavaland or renovate the Vacant Office. Try it out!
- Pry up wood tiles with a screwdriver or deconstruct tables with a wrench and fix all the rotting wood tiles in your library. Get those cobwebs cleared out, too!
- Your access to the Auxiliary Base Construction Area can provide you with meson scanners and a full toolbelt, along with a cargo headset.
- If you don't want to browse books through the amazing medium of the BYOND engine, you can explore the database they're all stored in. You will need a /tg/ forum account to access it. There's also a database for paintings!
- You are first and last line of defense against low-effort garbage as it attempts to enter the persistent database. Next time you leave your library, remember that. We are all counting on you.
Book'em Danno
This used to be one of the hardest jobs to be a Traitor as. It used to be a job where you had nothing but some books and your wits, but with some recent changes he now has robust armor and a unique weapon: THE WHIP. Security trying to tase you? Whip the gun out of their hands! Target is too loud? Whip them! You're too slow? Whip yourself! It's amazing.
However, don't downplay your weakness: piss all for access. And don't forget, you're about as suspicious as an assistant. Make sure to get your stealing (or killing) done, then hole up in your private study until the heat dies down. However, unlike assistants, your outfit is quite special, so people will easily recognize you everywhere unless you ditch it. Emagging the library computer causes it to spit out a tome, though you need to be a real cultist to read it. This can be used to confuse security, but you should be ready to get searched and brigged for some time.
