Are you a Roboticist? This guide will explain the creation and maintenance of Cyborgs, bots, and mechs.
Exosuit Fabricators
These are the main machines used in Robotics, with them you can create various mech and cyborg parts and their upgrade modules. Remember to sync these with the R&D servers frequently for new equipment designs and increased production speeds.
If one (or more) of the Exosuit Fabricators gets stuck at updating from R&D servers, use a screwdriver on it and then crowbar that fucker! Remove any metal/glass sheets and then put all the components back into the machine frame, use a screwdriver at the end to reassemble the fabricator.
Cyborgs
Requires |
---|
1 x each Cyborg part (made with the fabricators) 2 x (burnt out is fine too) |
The Cyborg is the Roboticist's primary creation. They are tasked with helping the station's inhabitants in their daily life and trying to kill everyone when the AI is insane. Each cyborg is required to follow the AI's laws, and may choose one of the AIs in the event that more than one exists.
Assuming you already have the necessary components, take the robot chest and insert the charged Power Cell and a coil of wire. When the head is done, put 2 flashes in it, one for each eye socket. Afterwards, start assembling it by taking each part (start with the chest; it's easier) and clicking on the Robot Suit. Once it's complete, it's time for the brain. To extract the brain of an unwilling human:
- Find a volunteer (or abduct an assistant) and place him on your operating table after grabbing them twice (with hands). You can perform ghetto surgery by placing your volunteer on any old table and then attempt to operate on him, this however has a high chance of missing.
- Pick up your surgical drapes, scalpel, hemostat, retractor and saw.
- Use the surgical drapes on him and choose brain removal. He must not wear any headgear.
- Make sure you are aiming at the head with help intent.
- Use them in the following order: Scalpel, hemostat, retractor, saw, hemostat.
- If you miss you will have to repeat the step again until you succeed at it.
Now put the brain into your MMI, and then the MMI into the cyborg suit. Congratulations, your cyborg is complete. Put the brainless corpse into a body bag and deliver it to the Morgue.
Pens can be used to give cyborgs names. Simply apply the pen before the brain is installed. Note that calling a borg 'PenisShitter 5000' will not net you any new friends, however, if your borg leaves the name up to you, be sure to name it 'PenisShitter 5000'.
For some hilarity and general confusion, try giving the borg the same name as the AI.
Cyborg Maintenance
Dented cyborgs can be repaired with a welding tool. Heat damage to cyborgs (from fires or lasers) can be repaired by using a screwdriver to open the cyborg's wiring panel (concealed inside the power cell cavity) and then re-wiring the damaged circuits. Engineering cyborgs can repair dents on themselves and on their fellow cyborgs. They cannot repair burn damage though, since they cannot remove power cells to reach the wiring.
Hacking Cyborgs
- ID Card
- Crowbar
- Screwdriver (You may or may not have to remove the battery first)
- Wirecutters will open a window. Multitool pulsing seems to do nothing, you can just cut and mend wires.
- Screwdriver
- Crowbar
- ID Card
Cyborgs that have had their programming tampered with can be repaired by resetting their AI connection and LawSync status, by manually pulsing the wiring. In the unlikely event that an AI goes crazy, a trained Roboticist or other technician should be able to sever the connection to the AI entirely by cutting the correct wire.
There are three lights in the cyborg with three corresponding wires:
- LawSync: If this light is on, it means that any laws uploaded to the AI are also uploaded to the cyborg. The cyborg cannot be given different laws to the AI as long as this is on. This light will turn off if the AI Link light is off, regardless of wire status.
- Pulsing does nothing.
- Cutting will do nothing, as long as the AI link light is on. If the AI link light is off, cutting and then turning the AI link back on will cause the cyborg to be slaved to an AI, but not synced with it's laws.
- Mending this wire will turn the LawSync light back on as long as the AI link light is also on. The cyborg will then resume syncing with the AI's laws. If the AI link light is off, mending this will turn the light on, only for it to turn off again.
- AI Link: If this light is on, it shows that the Cyborg is slaved to an AI and must follow that AI's orders.
- Pulsing this wire allows you to pick an AI for the cyborg to be slaved to if there are multiple AIs. If there is only one AI, pulsing this will simply turn it on and slave the cyborg to it, if it is off.
- Cutting this wire will cause the Cyborg to be unslaved from the AI and bound only by it's laws. This also turns off LawSync, as the cyborg has no AI to sync to.
- Mending this wire does nothing. You need to pulse it to reconnect it to an AI.
- Camera: If this light is on, it shows that the Cyborg's camera is operational. If it is off and the wire is mended, then you have a traitor Cyborg.
- Pulsing this wire will focus the Cyborg's lens, allowing you figure out which wire it is. It will also kick out anyone who is watching through the camera.
- Cutting this wire will deactivate the Cyborg's camera, causing it to show as "deactivated" on the Security Console and the AI's camera list.
- Mending this wire will reactivate the Cyborg's camera.
An emagged cyborg will have no LawSync or AI link and cannot be reset.
Remember, cyborgs are very expensive! Do not destroy them unless the cyborg is completely out of control, and resetting the AI and LawSync status doesn't work.
Cyborg Batteries
You will often see at least one Cyborg come to your assembly line to ask for an upgrade.
Cyborg Radios
Cyborgs can be installed with radio encryption keys, allowing them to communicate on secure department channels.
Reviving Cyborgs
A cyborg that has failed but not been turned into scrap can be repaired back to working order.
- Create an Emergency Restart Module at the Exosuit Fabricator (under Cyborg Upgrade Modules)
- Repair the cyborg with a welder and/or replace wires
Upgrading Cyborgs
Removing Brains
Upgrades
Roboticists can construct upgrade modules for cyborgs, such as one that increases your movement speed. Should you wish to change models, request a module reset board be used on you.
Reset Board
Used to reset a borg's module. Destroys any other upgrades applied to the borg.
Materials to produce: 15000 Metal
Borg Emergency Restart Module
Used to force a restart of a disabled-but-repaired borg, bringing it back online.
Materials to produce: 90000 Metal, 7500 Glass
Borg VTEC Module
Used to kick in a borgs VTEC systems, increasing their speed.
Materials to produce: 120000 Metal, 9000 Glass, 7500 Gold
Borg Rapid Taser Cooling Module
Used to cool a mounted taser, increasing the potential current in it and thus its recharge rate.
Materials to produce: 120000 Metal, 9000 Glass, 3000 Gold, 750 Diamond
Mining Borg Jetpack
A carbon dioxide jetpack suitable for low-gravity mining operations.
Materials to produce: 15000 Metal, 22500 Plasma, 30000 Uranium
An important upgrade is the restart module, as it will allow you to bring a dead, but not blown, Borg back to life.
Remember this when you find an inactive Cyborg that, when examined, says "It looks completely unsalvageable." It can still be brought back to life with a Restart Module.
Another 'Optional' module is the Robot Reclassification Module, which allows you to rename the Borg, however, a bug might occur that reverts the Borg to its original(non-human) name.
Bots
As a Roboticist, you serve another important purpose: making robots. Robots can benefit the station in many ways, and are really damned easy to create. The current list of robots, and how to make them, is as follows:
Medibot
Heals anyone nearby. Can be equipped with a beaker to stick people with instead of the default medicine, and when Emagged it will inject people with toxins, repeatedly. Combine the following ingredients in the following order:
- Borg arm (right or left, doesn't matter)
- EMPTY Med-Kit (Color doesn't matter, although it will affect the colour of the medbot)
(TIP: You can pick the assembly up in your hand at this point and name it something clever/funny/stupid by holding your Pen in the other hand and clicking on it, if you wish.)
Cleanbot
Cleanbot are great, as they serve the exact same purpose as the Janitor. What makes it even better is that it uses Space Cleaner to mop, so no slipping on everything! When Emagged (or hacked) it will drip water and spill gibs wherever it goes. To make:
- Blue Bucket (Grab it from the Janitor or make with Autolathe)
- Proximity Sensor
- Borg Arm (left or right)
Floorbot
Floorbots are nice to have around when some asshole starts crowbarring up floor tiles or some traitor has blown apart a section of the station. They zoom around and repair busted floor tiles. Honestly, they're niche to the point of uselessness. But they make nice pets. To make:
- Empty Toolbox (Must be a blue one)
- Floor tile
- Proximity Sensor
- Borg Arm (left or right)
Securitron
Basically, Officer Beepsky without the personality. You usually won't need to build any of these, but they can be hilariously helpful for traitors who have invested in a Cryptographic Sequencer, as they tend to run around stunning and cuffing everyone in sight. Problem is, any of these that report a Level 10 Infraction when spotting people are obviously hacked.
To make:
- Use a Remote Signaling Device on a Helmet
- Hand Welder them together
- Add a Proximity Sensor and a Borg Arm (left or right)
- Toss in a Stun Baton
Note that destroying a Securitron or Officer Beepsky with a melee weapon is all but impossible by yourself; striking them causes them to immediately stun and cuff you. If you work with another person you can get several hits in while it is cuffing the other person, which is often enough to destroy it outright.
ED-209
PUT DOWN YOUR WEAPON. YOU HAVE 15 SECONDS TO COMPLY.
Beepsky's bigger brother. Has all of the abilities of a standard Securitron with the addition of a ranged attack.
To make:
- Use a metal sheet on a Cyborg Endoskeleton to reinforce it.
- Add two Robot Legs and a security vest
- Weld everything together
- Add in a security Helmet
- Attach a Proximity Sensor to the assembly
- Insert wires
- Add a Taser and attach it with a Screwdriver
- Insert a Power cell. Your own mecha is complete!
A emagged ED-209 fires deadly lasers AND attacks anyone on sight.
Mechs
Construction of mechs are restricted by ID, so they are typically the product of roboticists and the Research Director. These can be tremendously helpful or tremendously annoying depending on who uses it. They take more work to make than robots and require special circuits, which are obtained through the Quartermaster or the Research and Development console.
With all mechs, MMI's can be installed as drivers. But remember, mechs are not bound to the AI or its laws, so don't put any deranged maniacs inside them.
The current list of mechs is as follows.
Ripley APLU
The Ripley APLU (Autonomous Power Loading Unit) is a slow moving, decently protected mech. Generally, it can take down a Gygax because of the sheer power of the drill, but it does not make a good combat mech because it is slow and has no range. Best used against Spess carp invasions, blobs, Changelings, and for Revs (using it to breach high security areas) Expect Mining to constantly be bugging you to make one for them.
To make:

Mech Repairs
Turn maintenance mode on (from the menu when you activiate it with your id), and then use a welder on the mech
Mech Equipment
Various tools and weapons can be attached to mechs, providng them with ability to perform different tasks. Mech Equipment is built by Mech Fabricator ("Exosuit Equipment" menu). To attach a tool or weapon, simply click with it on mecha. Most mechs can hold no more than two equipment pieces.
Drill
The drill can completely destroy most objects (with the exception of reinforced walls) in a few seconds. Using the drill on someone will gib them in a few seconds. So don't do that unless you're a traitor.
When used for mining, targeted and two adjacent mineral deposits will be drilled. If Ripley exosuit is equipped with Hydraulic Clamp and has an Ore Box in cargo, all mined ore will be moved to Ore Box.
(Can be attached to: Any mech)
Diamond Drill
Essentially an upgraded drill. Isn't any stronger, but it is faster (all you need for mining really). Bug R&D to sync their servers and in no time mining can obliterate the asteroid (provided that they bring you diamonds first)
(Can be attached to: Any mech)
Hydraulic Clamp

Must be researched first (Requires: 'Blue-space' Research 10, Electromagnetic Spectrum Research 5. Currently only adminspawnable due to the high research level - don't bother, really. Or steal it from the Centcomm mechs. You know you want to just hijack the deathsquad shuttles after taking their IDs off their burnt corpses, charge out the doors with your stolen weapons in hand, hack your way through the multitudinous doors as more security rushes in with murder in mind and pulse cannons and power armour at hand, until you finally get to your prizes, the mech bay - only to steal the teleporters mounted on them and scarper back to the station to use them in the destructive analyser. You know it's what you want to do. Do it. Do it. Do it.)
