Items
Используется для: Extinguishing fires and the lives of unaware command staff, ghetto jetpacks
Стратегия: A fire extinguisher will spray water across the room to put out fires or change your direction in space
Holds 50 units of water.
Используется для: Putting out small fires, ghetto jetpacks
Стратегия: A fire extinguisher will spray water across the room to put out fires or change your direction in space
Holds 30 units of water.
Используется для: As the name suggest, used as an emergency oxygen supply. It's not a question about if you need it, it's a question of when you need it, keep one with you at all time
Стратегия: Stuff it in your pocket, belt, or suit slot and leave it there, you'll need it
Используется для: Mostly used for hardsuits as it nicely fit in to the suit slot, but is sadly too big for a pocket. Also used for bomb making
Стратегия: Don't forget one of these when you grab a hardsuit
Используется для: Used for the Singularity Engine and bomb making
Стратегия: Handle with care
This is also a high-risk item.
Atmospherics Gear
Equipment
Используется для: Sniffing the atmospheric status near it, sending alerts if something isn't right and controlling the room's vents and scrubbers
Стратегия: Install it in a room wall and it'll find the vents and scrubbers in the room automatically
Activate Atmospheric Alarm: Self Explanatory. The Alarm will show on the Atmos Alert Computers and alerts the AI.
Scrubbers Control: Controls the scrubbers in the area. Select specific gases to be filtered. Choose between two settings for the scrubbers, scrubbing and syphoning.
- Scrubbing will slowly drain any gases set to filter in the air of the tile they are on, and transfer it to their pipe. Really, really slow with N2O.
- Syphoning will do the same, except indiscriminately and drain all gases on their tile.
Vents Control: you control vents through the air alarm. There are the following settings:
- External on, Internal off: will drain/add air from the tile the vent is on to make it reach the selected pressure. All air being moved goes into/comes out of the pipe the vent is attached to. Set to 0 to drain air, or pressurise to specific levels.
- Both on: completely useless. Don't bother.
- External off, Internal on: Drains/adds air to the tile to get the pipe attached to the selected pressure level. Setting a vent to internal and the desired pressure to 0 causes ALL gas which enters the pipe to be shunted out onto the tile.
Set Environmentals Mode: you can select a preset mode for the scrubbers and vents in the area:
- Filtering: Default mode, scrubbers are set to "Filter", vents are set to keep the area at normal pressure (101kPa).
- Draught: scrubbers are set to "Syphon" and vents are On.
- Panic: scrubbers are set to "Panic Syphon" and vents are Off.
- Replace air: scrubbers are set to "Syphon" and vents are Off. Nearly identical to "Panic".
- Off: Both scrubbers and vents are Off.
Sensor Settings: Let's you change the minima and maxima for pressure, temperature and specific gases to automatically activate the alarm.
Activate Panic Syphons: They turn all vents off and set all scrubbers to syphon. You *can* do better than that, but most of the methods involve setting vents to suck, and if you need a panic syphon, then sucking contaminated air into Distro kinda sucks.

Используется для: Automatily closes the fire doors in case of fire
Стратегия: Pull leaver to close down an area so only people with Crowbars can leave
Используется для: Distributing air and plasma to those who need it
Стратегия: Just choose what you need
Используется для: Used for holding and transporting gases like Oxygen, Plasma gas and the like
Стратегия: Place around hallways, wait for Assistants to open them for no reason
Используется для: Filling a room with air. Can also be use to suck the air out of a room
Стратегия: Set the pump direction to out, set your target pressure (most likely 101.3 kPa), turn it on, and it re-pressurizes a room until its air runs out
Используется для: Cleaning the air from Plasma gas and other unwanted gasses. Also used for emptying Plasma Tanks and Oxygen Tanks
Стратегия: Pull it to the leak, put it on maximum power and turn it on
Используется для: Heating up a cold area
Стратегия: Set heat to high and drag it along with you to prolong a spacesuit-less space walk
Используется для: Cooling/heating gasses in pipes, Cryogenics Chamber
Стратегия: Make a Canister with chilled Oxygen, give it to R&D
Используется для: Making pipes and pumps
Стратегия: It is still possible to dispose of pipes and pumps into it when it's in movable-mode
When in dispensing-mode and in a powered room, it can dispense pipes and pumps for use.
You are able to dispose of unwanted pipes and pumps by using them on the Pipe Dispenser.
Pipes:
- Regular pipes: The station is infested with these thing and you want to add MORE!? Place down manual valves to crush the hopes and dreams of any would-be plasma flooding AI.
- Insulated pipes: Keeps the cold out if you're placing pipes out in space. (Regular pipes don't transfer outside heat at all from the environment, so these are pretty much regular pipes without the luxury of manifolds.)
Devices:
- Connector: Used to attach canisters, pumps or scrubbers to a pipe network. If you can't get a pipe network easily to the filter loop, an empty canister can be a good substitute.
- Unary vent - See: Vent. Once placed down it will have to be turned on by activating it at an Air alarm terminal.
- Gas pump: The basic pumps you'll find all over Atmospherics. Good for precise pressure levels. Goes up to 4500 kPa.
- Passive gate: Think of it as a one-way manual valve, but electronic. Doesn't pump gas, but lets certain pressure through. Can let up to 4500 kPa pressure through. It should be noted that its on status can be easy to miss, being just a small red/green light.
- Volume pump: A bit like the gas pump, but pumps via volume rather than going for pressure. 200 l/s (~9000 kPa) is its max output. Faster than a gas pump (you can fill canisters up past the standard 4500 kPa pressure!), so best used in systems where precise pressure isn't needed (such as anything to do with the waste loop).
- Scrubber: Self explanatory, scrubs the nasty out of things, or acts like a vacuum. Like unary vents, needs to be turned on by an Air alarm terminal after wrenched into place.
- Meter: Wanna know how much gas (and its temperature) is in a pipe? Use these.
- Gas Filter: Them big ol' blocks of things that ring Atmosia, takes certain gasses out. Filters them, if you will.
- Gas Mixer: Like a filter, but mixes gasses instead of filters. There is one in Atmosia that mixes nitrogen and oxygen.
Heat Exchange:
- Pipes: H/E pipes transfer temperatures between the environment and gas within'. Besides looking spiffy, you can place some in space to super-duper cool gasses, or create a burning length of death pipe.
- Junction: Turn that regular pipe network into a H/E network, and back again! After all, you have to get that gas safely into space somehow!
- Heat Exchanger: These strange and esoteric devices equalize the temperature between two pipe networks without actually mixing the gasses. To use, place them facing each other. (So you're going to need at LEAST a 1 X 4 area to set this up.)
Используется для: Making disposal pipes and other disposal equipment. Mostly used for repairs or making experimental transit-systems
Стратегия: Dispose of
When in dispensing-mode and in a powered room, it can dispense pipes and other disposal equipment for use.
Despite not being able to pick them up with your hands, you can drag the pipe onto the dispenser to dispose of extras.
