Far, far away in the distant reaches of the human frontier -- on the ragged edge of the borders of the Coalition of Colonies -- lies the most populated settlement in the region known as Light’s Edge, the '''Republic of Assunzione'''. Originally founded as part of a colonization mission launched by a league of Mediterrean countries, the system of Assunzione was first colonized in the mid 2200s by seven ships. The planet’s star shortly fizzled out after colonisation, a process that has yet to be explained, and one that dramatically altered the future course of the planet. This calamity gave rise to a local syncretic religion known as '''[[Luceism]]'''. Despite the disastrous fate of its star, Assunzione has managed to survive and thrive. This status has made many view the planet as the gateway to Light’s Edge, and the many mysterious phenomena that dwell within the region.

'''Assunzione's remote location and urban planning which places a premium on available housing and space has made it unattractive to outsiders as a destination for immigration. Because of this, characters born on Assunzione will have names and appearances consistent with the peoples living on or around the Mediterranean Sea, much like the planet's original colonists. Only native Assunzioniis may take the Assunzionii accent. This is enforceable by server moderators and admins.'''

==History==

The initial long-range colonisation efforts carried out by humanity that formed what would eventually become the Coalition of Colonies were often perilous and dangerous ventures relying upon early and typically slow warp engines to navigate across dozens of light years of empty space. Many of these expeditions — such as those travelling to Xanu Prime or Vysoka — were successful, while others - such as the ships that journeyed to Himeo — ran into issues. Some — like the colonial fleet that landed upon Moroz — became entirely stranded and lost, cut off from their homeworld and left to fend for themselves. The distant system of Al-Maqdisi, and the sole habitable planet within it, was one of the furthest systems colonized during this craze, yet it would be one of the strangest.

In the early 2200s, before the Second Great Depression and the ensuing Interstellar War, colonization by the Sol Alliance was at its peak: the frontier was being pushed further into the unknown. In this colonial boom, the Sol Alliance sponsored a colonial initiative brought forward by the Mediterranean Economic Pact — a European Union initiative that brought together a diverse alliance of Mediterranean economic powers stretching from Iberia to Anatolia in order to launch seven vessels to the Al-Maqdisi System for purposes of setting up colonies... The resulting “Med-Sev” expedition would be one of the longest journeys undertaken in the 2200s and would be the first to reach what would later be referred to as Light’s Edge, setting down on the only habitable planet in the system in late 2243.

While the initial colonial period of the planet that came to be known as Assunzione by the local settlers was fairly standard -- perhaps even boring -- the Med-Sev expedition was able to send some valuable resources back to Sol proper. The main value of the system, however, became the unusual phenomenon found within it. The Al-Maqdisi System was, during this period, home to a variety of light-related phenomena ranging from massive sunspots on the star’s surface thousands of kilometers wide to unusual prismatic patterns that occurred in Assunzione’s atmosphere, creating beautiful vistas above the self-contained domes of the seven initial colonies. The system’s star continued to provide a massive amount of data and bizarre, awe-inspiring phenomena until 2274.

''When it went out.''

Understandably, this caused a significant amount of panic. Fortunately for the colonists, the star had retained enough mass despite going dark. While the darkness meant life on the planet had become a daily fight for survival, it managed to remain in orbit of the dead star. With the Interstellar War already beginning to break out, the Sol Alliance crippled by debt, and the Mediterranean Economic Pact in economic freefall, there was no easy way off of the planet for the immediate future. There was, however, a very real chance that Assunzione would become a planet-sized tomb. Fortunately, the colonists of the Med-Sev fleet turned out to be tougher than initially imagined, and luckier than one would have originally anticipated. As a precaution against a lack of fuel and hazardous atmospheric phenomena, Assunzione’s seven colonial cities were all built within large, self-contained dome structures powered by the one source of fuel that was not freezing or disappearing: geothermal energy. Despite their advantages, their struggle for survival would not be an easy one.

The months in the immediate aftermath of the star being snuffed out were marked by widespread panic, terror, and despair. The death of the system’s Star had an extremely negative impact upon the planet’s remaining population. Many residents of Assunzione turned to religion as a source of relief and succor or as a shield against the terrifying concept that was their entire planet freezing over and dying a slow death that could hardly be stopped. Even as the situation in the domed cities began to stabilize and it became clear to the population of the planet that they might just survive, a sense of desperation and hopelessness reigned supreme over the residents of the planet, and many found insufficient answers in both scientific explanations and in their traditional religions from across the Mediterranean. What would emerge from this tumultuous period was the quite unusual syncretic religion known as [[Luceism]], which established itself as a new faith inspired by various religious traditions of the original colonists. The religion, odd as it was, would eventually expand to the rest of Assunzione from its home in the domed city of Malaga and become known as one of the major hallmarks of Assunzione.

By the early 2280s, Assunzione had managed to stabilize and now had to deal with another crisis. It had been written off as a lost cause by the Sol Alliance due to its position on the other side of the newly-formed Coalition of Colonies, on the boundary of Light’s Edge. As they had already passed through their greatest crisis and remained alive, by the grace of the fading light, the decision to formally split from the Alliance was an easy one to reach. The Med-Sev colonial mission formally declared its mission concluded as of 2282, due to "unforeseen consequences involving its environment", and formed the Republic of Assunzione - a union of all seven domed cities under one government in the capital of Triesto. It joined the newly formed Coalition of Colonies in 2300, becoming the Coalition’s only member state in Light’s Edge. This would prove to be an unexpected advantage in the years to come, as Assunzione’s unusual stability and location have turned it into the primary point of entry for the wild, untamed, and extremely strange systems further inside Light’s Edge.

The Republic of Assunzione, in the present day, remains prosperous in spite of its strange religion and despite its harsh living environment. However many go abroad to the greater Coalition or even further beyond to the Republic of Biesel, with New Gibson being a particularly popular destination due to its similar terrain, for reasons as broad as the Coalition itself.

==Environment==

The environment of Assunzione is extremely harsh and equally strange at the same time. The surface is deathly cold, and death from exposure without a proper suit can occur in mere minutes unless aid is rendered immediately. The surface is also constantly shrouded in darkness, making any efforts outside of the extremely well-lit domed cities extremely risky and often tedious ventures. Some scholars, particularly those visiting from the universities of the United Syndicates of Himeo, have noted that the settlements on Assunzione have a greater amount of lighting per square meter than any other place in the Coalition, due to both the lack of a traditional sun in the system and Luceism’s obsession with light and brightness.

Thanks to a massive die-off of flora and fauna following the extinguishing of the planet’s star, what flora and fauna remain have come to be integrated with the domed cities of Assunzione. Nearly two centuries of evolution has led to what animals remain on Assunzione becoming quite small and compact in order to survive in the heavily-urbanized environments in which they now dwell. Similarly, the great freeze has caused the planet’s plant life to be reduced to living in hydroponics bays, museums, and green spaces found throughout the seven great domed cities. Some of the most common animals now found on Assunzione are the common domesticated house cat, originally brought by the colonists to Assunzione, and Rattus rattus, the black rat, which stowed away on the original colonising vessels . In the urban jungle, cats have managed to thrive - becoming the primary predator of the domes and common household pets. One curious exception to this rule of all life being killed after the star died, is the so-called luce vine, the only known plant to have survived the Star’s fate -- often simply referred to as the Dimming -- and remain outside the dome. The luce vine is typically found growing on the surface level of the ice that dominates the surface of Assunzione, and is bioluminescent in nature with its bulbs constantly producing a ghostly white light. This quality has led to many on Assunzione viewing it as a symbol of the Light’s will and a sign that their star will someday return to its former glory - no matter what. Due to their ability to glow in even the dimmest sources of light, luce vine bulbs are the primary source of illumination for warding spheres and greater warding spheres. The process of harvesting these bulbs is viewed as a holy task for followers of Luceism, and a great deal of importance is placed upon it.

==Government and Economy==

The Republic of Assunzione is a representative republic made up of the planet’s seven great domed cities, all of which hold a seat on the Council of Seven, and is headed by the elected President of the Republic of Assunzione. On paper the Republic’s political system is free of the influence of Luceism, but in reality, politics and prayer often find themselves hand-in-hand in the Republic. Prospective politicians will often ask for blessings from priests before embarking on their election campaigns, and the holy blessing of the Light (or lack thereof) can often make or break one’s entire campaign. Politicians and officials from Assunzione’s religious minorities, dubbed by Assunzioni society as Sinluceians, will often find themselves running into significant difficulties due to this focus on Luceism, and rarely find major success. The President of the Republic has never been a Sinluceian.

The economy of the Republic is intrinsically tied to Light’s Edge due to its position upon the very edge of the region. Its proximity to the rest of Light’s Edge allows it to not only serve as the primary economic hub of the surrounding frontier, but also makes it the primary point of entry for scientific expeditions or missions (often megacorporation-funded ones) seeking to examine the phenomena of the area or chart unexplored territories beyond known space. In order to continue its status as the best place to launch an treks into Light’s Edge, the Republic’s economy is specialized into producing survey and sensor equipment ranging from a variety of sensor suites to exploratory and surveying vessels. Curiously, expeditions outfitted (and in some cases blessed for a price) by the denizens of Assunzione have a significantly higher survival rate than those that are not. Whether this is due to local expertise or something beyond that is unknown.

==Culture and Demographics==
[[Image:Luceism.png||thumb|The common symbol of Luceism, the majority religion on Assunzione.]]
Assunzionii society is an odd, often insular one, thanks to the collective societal trauma experienced when the Star itself was extinguished. The nature of this catastrophe and the confinement of those on the planet to the seven domed cities have lent themselves to a very space-conscious and urbanized society, but underground habitation is very uncommon due to a common Assunzionii trait: a societal aversion, or fear, towards darkness and a preference for exceedingly well-lit spaces. This dislike of underground dwellings - and the dim conditions often intrinsic to them - has led to the planet’s domed cities consistently choosing the longer, more expensive route of building new interconnected domes spreading from a central “bulb,” dome rather than simply digging downwards. The lights of Assunzione’s great domed cities, surrounded by the utter darkness of the planet itself, often create a spectacular sight when seen from orbit.

The Assunzionii love of brightness is especially accented in its areas of worship, ranging from grand cathedrals to small-scale chapels. Many visitors to the planet’s holy sites find themselves wearing protective eyewear to shield their eyes - which are often used to the dim conditions of space travel - against the overwhelming brightness of the interiors. It is said that inside a cathedral on Assunzione one can stand in the middle of a room and cast no shadow at all. Outside of holy sites, the great domed cities are generally lit in fashions that make those holy beacons of places stand out more, and the ghostly lights of many of Assunzione’s domes often provide a spectacular contrast against the inky blackness that dwells outside. Celebrations on the planet - from religious ceremonies to holidays to birthdays - are similarly centered around brightness and light, with the goal of banishing darkness - if only for the special occasion itself. The most important of all holidays on the planet is the Assumption of the Fading Lights - a celebration on the eleventh of March (of the standard Earth calendar) every year that is viewed by Assunzionii as a tribute to their long-extinguished Star, and their enduring hope that it will someday return to life.

Because of its Mediterranean heritage, Tradeband is the language primarily spoken on Assunzione and is the liturgical language of Luceism. Freespeak has been taught in schools since Assunzione’s formal joining of the Coalition of Colonies, however, to greater integrate with the Coalition.

Luceism is a cornerstone both of society and culture on the planet, and more can be read about it '''[[Luceism|here]]'''.

=== Synthetics on Assunzione ===
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
<div style="font-size:110%; border:2px solid #ccc; margin:0; background:#808080; padding:.1em; color:#fff;"></div>
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed">

As a major regional port within the Coalition and the gateway to the mysterious Light’s Edge sector. Assunzione is home to a small but notable population of synthetics, a minority are manufactured locally whilst the majority of them are bought in from Konyang by corporations operating in Assunzione. The isolated nature and lack of space on the planet however make immigration by synthetics similarly unattractive as it does the immigration of non-synthetics, and the free IPC population of the planet is small compared to other planets of a similar size and development within the Coalition.

<div class="mw-collapsible-content">

Positronics manufactured on Assunzione are rare but make up most of the free synthetics on the planet due to the minuscule immigration rate to Assunzione. A majority of frames built on the planet are Bishop and Mobility frames, as the planet is the location of the Coalition HQ of Zeng-Hu Pharmaceuticals, who are also the biggest owner of synthetics on the planet.

A curious part of Assunzione manufactured positronics who stay on the planet is that they are blessed on creation and programmed with an adherence to the native religion of Luceism, to fit in better with the highly religious population, displaying both a knowledge of the faith and desire to follow its tenets. This adherence remains with them even if they find their freedom in some manner. Adherence to both Pyramidicalism and Astructuralism exist, as synthetics are usually programmed to follow the branch most popular where they will be sent to work.

Free synthetics can be found in all manner of roles on Assunzione, from expedition crews to menial workers and high ranking corporate positions, and similarly reside in the great domed cities that the human population occupy. Their adherence to the planet's faith means they are highly integrated with the local human population. All manner of frames are used by free synthetics across the planet, though the locally produced Bishop and Mobility frames are the most common.

Owned positronics meanwhile vary greatly across the seven cities of Assunzione, depending on the corporate presence there. The majority of positronics manufactured on Assunzione itself find themselves employed in Triesto, where the Headquarters of Zeng-Hu is located, serving as researchers, medical or service staff for the corporation. Another common role is as Bridge Crew and other staff for the many Zeng-Hu expeditions launched into the Light’s Edge region, the risks of exploring Light’s Edge make IPC crewmembers inherently useful as they are considered more expendable than human crew. Nanotrasen also employs synthetics in Triesto for their phoron-finding expeditions into the Light’s Edge for similar reasons. Markarsa also serves as another major hub for owned synthetics produced on the planet, as the research hub of the planet and home to a substantial Zeng-Hu research facility, many positronics serve as scientists or support staff here.

Whilst Triesto and Markarsa serve as hubs for Assunzione produced positronics, both NT and Zeng-Hu utilize synthetics bought from off-world in their operations here too. However, in other cities off-world produced synthetics make up a far larger section of the overall synthetic population with most coming from the nearby production centre of Konyang. Iraklio’s status as the primary shipyard of Assunzione and recent investments by Hephaestus Industries have brought large amounts of industrial frames to the planet to serve as labour for the budding shipbuilding industry and Hephaestus facilities. Meanwhile Said, being the port of call for many unaffiliated vessels travelling to the planet leads to it playing host to all manner of synthetics from off-world, primarily working as part of these independent crews but also within the city, a few members of the Golden Deep also have operations in the city, using it as their base for conducting business in the region.

The opinions on synthetics held by the human residents of Assunzione primarily stem from their interpretation of Luceist teachings, whilst Luceism itself espouses a neutral view towards synthetic life, personal interpretations vary between followers, and can be broadly classified into two primary views. The more pro-synthetic side of Luceism does not advocate for synthetic freedom but still has a more positive of synthetics for their efficiency, work ethic and other factors, especially those produced and blessed locally who adhere to Luceism, seeing them as properly integrated into the planet's population and support them being used on the planet.

The more anti-synthetic side of the faith believe that synthetics are a drain on Assunzione as a whole, and antithetical to the teachings of Luceism. This is primarily due to their inherently inorganic nature and the belief that synthetics drain away electricity that could instead have been used to produce light. They would rather see positronics not present on the planet at all. This divide exists within both the Pyramidicalist and Astructuralist branches of the faith.

A common uniting factor however for both viewpoints is a disdain for all positronics who were not created on the planet itself, finding their lack of knowledge or adherence to Luceism to be insulting at best and unacceptable at worst. Owned synthetics bought in from off-world often do not find themselves treated well by the locals where they do interact. Free synthetics choose to adopt the tenants of the faith if they were not local to the planet or simply not immigrate at all. Due to Luceism’s overwhelming presence on the planet, followers of the Trinary Perfection, both synthetic and organic are unheard of.

==Population and Major Cities==

Assunzione is not a very diverse planet compared to others in the frontier. Its population of roughly five-hundred million permanent residents is overwhelmingly human, with a small population of offworld humans and some positronic frames. Offworld humans from Assunzione itself are extremely rare, and most are generally drifters visiting the planet rather than permanent residents or - more rarely - immigrants. Positronics built on the planet are rare, with most originating off-world on planets such as Xanu Prime or Himeo. Travel between the cities of Assunzione is primarily conducted via aboveground magnetic rail lines inside protected (though transparent, to avoid darkness seeping in) tubes. The overwhelming majority of planetary residents reside within the seven great domed cities of Assunzione listed below.

'''Triesto''' is the capital of the Republic and the largest settlement on Assunzione, with a population of roughly one-hundred million people residing in a massive array of domes. Often referred to as the “Beacon of Light’s Edge” by its residents, the domed city is the single largest port in the entire interstellar south-east of the Orion Spur. Travellers from across the known space can be found beneath the domes of Triesto as they await their chance to brave Light’s Edge. Being a major regional port, and manufacturing hub of some of the most-capable deep-space survey sensors in the Orion Spur, Triesto has become the Nanotrasen Corporation’s primary location for launching phoron-finding missions into Light’s Edge. The city is additionally home to the headquarters of Zeng-Hu Pharmaceutical's Coalition Branch, with the majority of the keiretsu's exploratory missions launching from the city.

'''Malaga''' is the birthplace of Luceism and is, arguably, the cultural center of the Republic. With a population of eighty million permanent residents, the grand domes of Malaga are dominated by the centrally-located Grand Cathedral of Our Holy Light - the heart of Luceism.

'''Iraklio''', with its population of sixty million souls, stands nearby Triesto and Malaga along the equator of Assunzione. Prior to the Dimming becoming sealed, it served as a major blue-water port on the planet due to its deep natural harbor. Following the Dimming, it has been repurposed into the planet’s primary shipyard and has recently seen investment from Hephaestus Industries.

'''Makarska''', with fifty million that call it their home, is the primary research hub of the planet (and, by extension, Light’s Edge). Zeng-Hu Pharmaceuticals operates a significant research facility in this domed city, and many of the sensor suites that are eventually used across Light’s Edge were originally developed under these domes.

'''Guelma''', home to forty million, is another major site for the Luceian faith: the great domes of the city are located at the geographical north of the planet, upon its pole. Due to this positioning it is considered by the faith to be the “nearest city to the Star” and has had a very unique permission given to it. It is the only location in the Orion Spur where Luceism’s holy warding spheres (both normal and greater) are produced, and many followers journey to Guelma to receive one before traveling abroad.

'''Dalyan''', with a population of thirty-five million, has the boring distinction of being Assunzione’s breadbasket domed city. Beneath the lights of its domes grow a stunning variety of plants and animals that feed the Republic, and help give it a higher standard of living than many other locations in the far frontier. Dalyan exports a sizable amount of food to the larger Coalition and some of its cuisine can find its way even to the Republic of Biesel, with NanoTrasen importing exotic foodstuffs for its subsidiaries.

'''Said''', with thirty-five million residents living in it, is the secondary port of the planet. While it is not nearly as well-trafficked as Triesto, the smaller nature of Said’s port and cheaper costs of docking permits has made it attractive to many independent vessels not affiliated with a megacorporation. It remains to be seen whether or not Said will be able to use its port to become more prevalent in the future.

Guide to Robotics

2019-03-17T20:22:53Z

SkullMagic: /* Resetting Modules */ added slightly more information

{{WIP}}
{{toc_right}}

For the aspiring [[Roboticist]], this guide will explain the creation and maintenance of [[Cyborg]], Bots, and Exosuits.

=Robotics Equipment=

==Machines==

===Exosuit Fabricator===
[[File:Exofab.png|100px|left]]
The Exosuit Fabricator is your main construction machine, you feed materials into it, and it builds all the things you could possibly need. It can make prosthetic limbs, cyborg parts and internal components, exosuit parts, exosuit equipment modules, and a variety of useful miscellaneous items like power cells. It has a vast variety of blueprints available to start, but certain advanced things must be unlocked by raising your research levels. These will be explained later.

In addition, the machine itself will also be upgraded by simply researching two specific techs. These benefits have no cap, and will continue to have a benefit at any increased research level (The levels themselves are capped by the availability of high tech items to research)
*Materials research will increase material efficiency, reducing the quantity of materials you require to build things.
*Data Theory research will increase speed efficiency, reducing the time required to build various parts

It can be upgraded
*Upgrading the Laser will increase material efficiency, reducing the quantity of materials you require to build things.
*Upgrading the Manipulators will increase speed efficiency, reducing the time required to build various parts
*Upgrading the Matter Bins will allow it to store more materials

=Cyborgs=
'''See also [[Guide_to_Paperwork#Robotics:_Cyborgification|Cyborgification Contracts]].'''
These contracts are important - without a signed, stamped contract, making a man into a machine is technically murder - no matter how much he wants it!

The [[Cyborg]] is the Roboticist's primary creation and upkeep. 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.

<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="width:99%">
===Making a Cyborg===

<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
# Fill the [[File:Exofab.png]] Exosuit Fabricator with as much [[File:Metal.png]] metal as it will hold.
# Click on the Exosuit Fabricator to open its menu. Select '''Add To Queue''' for Robot Endoskeleton, Left Arm, Right Arm, Left Leg, Right Leg, Torso, and Head then click on '''Process Queue''' in the right side.
# Wait for a few minutes for the pieces to be built. You will likely need to add additional metal to the Fabricator in order for it to finish.
# When putting the parts together, use the [[File:Robot_endoskeleton.png]] Robot Endoskeleton as a base. Attach components by picking them up and then clicking on the endoskeleton.
#* Add 2x [[File:sflash.png]] Synthetic Flash to the Head before attaching it. You do this by picking up the flashes and then clicking on the head. .
#* The Cyborg Torso will need 1x [[File:CableCoils.png]] wires and 1x [[File:Powercell.png]] power cell.
#* The arms and legs can be done easily by simply picking them up and placing them on the Cyborg Endoskeleton.
# The last step is installing either an [[File:MMI.png]]MMI or a [[File:Posibrain.png]]posibrain.
</div></div>

<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="width:99%">
===Extract a brain for the Cyborg===

'''Note:''' Check with the Chief Medical Officer before agreeing to perform a brain extraction on a living human. Medbay has anesthetics, which are optimal when someone is cutting into your skull with a circular saw. Additionally, it will clear up bookkeeping problems regarding the addition of a new cadaver in the morgue.
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
# (Optional) Complete [[Surgery#Prepping_for_Surgery|Prepping for Surgery]].
# Aim for the organ's location in the [[File:Damage_zone.png]] Damage Zone. (Head for brain/eyes, chest for heart/liver/lungs, groin for appendix/kidney)
# Use a [[File:Scalpel.png]] '''scalpel''' to cut back the flesh.
# Use the [[File:Hemostat.png]] '''hemostat''' to stop any potential bleeding.
# Use your [[File:Retractor.png]] '''retractors''' to lift up the skin.
# Use the [[File:Saw.png]] '''saw''' to cut through the bones.
# Use the [[File:Retractor.png]] '''retractor''' to separate the bones.
# Use the [[File:Scalpel.png]] '''scalpel'''. This will open up a window asking you which organ you'd like to cut loose. Select the Brain.
# Use the [[File:Hemostat.png]] '''hemostat'''. This will open up a window asking you which loose organ you'd like to remove. Select the Brain again.
# Place the brain in an [[File:MMI empty.png]] MMI.
# (Optional) Before you give the Cyborg a new brain, you can name it anything you or your client wants. Grab a [[File:Pen.png]] pen and use the pen on the Cyborg to rename it. Once you place the brain in the Cyborg, this step will not be completable.
# Carry the [[File:MMI.png]] MMI over to your finished Cyborg construct that you made before, and click on it to add the brain into the Cyborg.

You can also use a normal table instead of an operating table, but this has a chance of missing one third of the time.
</div></div>
====So You Decapitated Your Patient====
Don't panic just yet! You can still complete the brain extraction. It's actually easier then extracting the brain from an attached head. Use a [[File:Scalpel.png]] '''scalpel''', then a [[File:Retractor.png]] '''retractor''', then a [[File:Hemostat.png]] '''hemostat'''.

== Cyborg Maintenance ==
You'll often have Cyborgs run up to you with any number of problems. Here's how to deal with them most of the time.

<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="width:99%">
=== Repair ===

When Cyborgs get dented, they'll come to you for repairs. Luckily, most repairs are simple
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
# Equip a [[File:WeldingHelmet.png]] welding helmet on your head.
#* ''Note: Be sure to remember this step or you could go blind!''
# Place a [[File:Welderon.gif]] welder in your hand, click on it while it's in your hand to light it, then click on the Cyborg repeatedly to repair it. Engineer cyborgs can also repair themselves and other cyborgs like this.

Occasionally Cyborgs are inflicted by more advanced damage that hurts their internal wiring. If this is the case:
# [[File:Id_regular.png]] Swipe an ID with Robotics access to unlock the panel.
# [[File:Crowbar.png]] Crowbar open the panel.
# [[File:Powercell.png]] Remove the cyborg's power cell by clicking on it with an empty hand.
# [[File:Screwdriver tool.png]] Use a screwdriver to expose the wires.
# [[File:CableCoils.png]] Use a cable coil to replace damaged wires.
# [[File:Screwdriver tool.png]] Screwdriver the cyborg to unexpose the wires.
# [[File:Crowbar.png]] Crowbar the panel shut.
# [[File:Id_regular.png]] Swipe an ID with Robotics access to relock the cover.
</div></div>

<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="width:99%">
=== Cyborg Component Repair ===

Sometimes robots will have damaged components that need to be removed and replaced. Removing them is pretty straightforward.

# [[File:Screwdriver tool.png]] Use a screwdriver to expose the wires.
# [[File:Crowbar.png]] Crowbar out the desired component.

Occasionally a robot will be so damaged that only the brain is salvageable, or perhaps it's volunteering for an AI core. You can remove the brain by following these steps.
# [[File:Id_regular.png]] Swipe an ID with Robotics access to unlock the panel.
# [[File:Crowbar.png]] Crowbar open the panel.
# [[File:Powercell.png]] Remove the cyborg's power cell by clicking on it with an empty hand.

<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="width:99%">
=== Human Prosthetic Repair ===

You may be asked to repair damage to the artificial limbs of your fellow crew members.
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
To fix brute damage:
# Follow the same procedure as outlined above for fixing dents in cyborgs, making sure to target the specific area that requires fixing.
To fix burn damage:
# [[File:CableCoils.png]] Use a cable coil on the damaged area.
</div></div>

<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="width:99%">
=== Upgrading the Power Cell ===

Cyborgs that start when the game starts will likely come straight to you for an upgrade in the first few minutes of the game.
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
Help them out by upgrading their power cell, which will lessen the amount of time they need to visit the recharging station. Click on the Cyborg with the following items (in order):

=== Modules ===

Once a player Cyborg chooses a module (Engineer, Janitor, Security, etc) they cannot change the module without your help.
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
You can manually reset its module to allow it the option of choosing a new one by following this order:
# [[File:Id_regular.png]] Swipe an ID with Robotics access to unlock the panel.
# [[File:Crowbar.png]] Crowbar open the panel.
# [[File:Robotics_reset_module_circuit.png]] Print out a reset upgrade in the fabricator, and insert it into the cyborg.
# [[File:Crowbar.png]] Crowbar the panel shut.
# [[File:Id_regular.png]] Swipe an ID with Robotics access to relock the cover.
</div></div>

<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="width:99%">

This also works with any other module - just replace the "reset module" with the module of your choosing.

=== Modifications ===

Cyborgs that have had their programming tampered with can be repaired by resetting their AI connection and LawSync status, by manually pulsing the wiring.
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
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.

*'''Module Lock''': If this light is on, the module of the cyborg cannot be changed.
**''Pulsing'' this will reset the module of a cyborg and allow it to pick a new one.
**''Cutting'' this wire will cause the cyborg to be locked to the standard module and be unable to change or use any items. They can still remote control devices however.
**''Mending'' this wire will allow the cyborg to change modules.

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.'''

=== Creating a Spiderbot ===

Spiderbots are temporary bodies for brains.
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
They can carry around small items, zap things, move through vents and generally act like pests. They are seldom used on the Aurora, but can still be constructed.

Combine the following:
* Robot head.
* Manipulator.
* Occupied MMI or positronic brain.
</div></div>

= IPCs =
Sometimes, you will need to repair synthetics other than Cyborgs, such as IPCs. The procedures for repairing an IPC are quite different from that of cyborgs, and are as follows:

<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="width:99%">
=== Exterior repair ===

In the case that any damage is only external (Anything less than "Severe" or "A lot of"), damage can be repaired.
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">

For dents:
# [[File:WeldingHelmet.png]] Equip a welding helmet on your head.
# [[File:Welderon.gif]] Place a welder in your hand, click on it while it's in your hand to light it, target the affected organ and then click on the IPC.

For burns:

</div></div>

<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="width:99%">
=== Advanced interior repair ===

IPCs possess their own set of internal organs, the locations and identities of which are as follows (Organs with their name in bold are vital - removing it will kill the IPC!):
# '''Microbattery''' - chest
# '''Optical sensor''' - head
# '''IPC identification tag''' - head
# '''Positronic brain''' - head (NOTE: Removing this will only kill the IPC chassis, not the posibrain itself. The brain will function like a normal posibrain.)

= Bots =
As a Roboticist, you serve another important purpose, making NPC robots. Robots can benefit the station in many ways, and are really easy to create. The current list of robots, and how to make them, is as follows:

<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="width:99%">
===[[File:Medibot.gif|50px]] Medibot===

These will only inject chemicals if the chemical helps with the target's damage by default.
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
They can also be Emagged to repeatedly inject anyone with harmful chemicals. Note that these don't synthesise their own chemicals, except tricordazine.

Combine the following ingredients in order:
# Cyborg Right or Left Arm.
# Empty [[File:SMed.png]] Medkit.
#* ''Note: Differently colored medkits will also change the resulting color of your Medibot.
# (Optional) Name the bot with a [[File:Pen.png]] pen.
# [[File:Healthanalyzer.png]] health analyzer.
# [[File:Proximitysensor.png]] proximity sensor.
# [[File:Beaker.png]] beaker filled with the medicine of your choice.
</div></div>

<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="width:99%">
===[[File:Cleanbot.gif|50px]] Cleanbot===

Cleanbots are great, as they serve the exact same purpose as the Janitor.
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">

Even better is that it uses Space Cleaner to mop, so no slipping on everything!
# [[File:Bucket.png]] bucket (Grab it from the [[Janitor]] or make with [[Autolathe]])
# [[File:Proximitysensor.png]] proximity sensor.
# (Optional) Name the bot with a [[File:Pen.png]] pen.
# Cyborg Right or Left Arm.
</div></div>

<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="width:99%">
=== [[File:Farmbot.png|50px]] Farmbot ===

A relatively useful bot that helps with the mundane aspects of Hydroponics and Xenobotany.
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">

It will water plants, clearout weeds, harvest plants, and refill nutrients
To make one:
# Attach a robot arm (cyborg right or left arm) to a [[File:Watertank.png]] water tank.
# Attach a plant analyzer.
# Attach a [[File:Bucket.png]] bucket.
# (Optional) Name the bot with a [[File:Pen.png]] pen.
# Attach a mini-hoe.
# [[File:Proximitysensor.png]] proximity sensor.
</div></div>

<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="width:99%">
===[[File:Floorbot.gif|50px]] 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.
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">

They zoom around and repair busted floor tiles.
To make:
# Empty [[File:btoolbox.png]] toolbox (Must be a blue one)
# [[File:Floor_Tiles.png]] Floor tile (click on a stack of metal while it's in your hand to open a menu for making these)
# [[File:Proximitysensor.png]] proximity sensor.
# (Optional) Name the bot with a [[File:Pen.png]] pen.
# Cyborg Right or Left Arm.

Keep in mind that Floorbots have a limited number of floor tiles. This number can be observed by popping up their control panel.
</div></div>

<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="width:99%">
===[[File:Securitron.gif|I AM THE LAW|50px]] Securitron===

Basically, Officer Beepsky without the personality.
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
You usually won't need to build any of these, but they can be hilariously helpful for traitors whom have invested in a Electromagnetic Card (E-mag), 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:
* [[File:Screwdriver tool.png]] Use a '''Screwdriver''' on a [[File:remote_signaller.png]]Remote Signaling Device
* Combine with a [[File:Helmet.png]]Helmet (Get these from Security)
* [[File:Welderon.gif]]Weld them together
* Add a [[File:Proximitysensor.png]]Proximity Sensor and a Robot Arm.
* Toss in a [[File:StunBaton.gif]]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.
</div></div>

<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="width:99%">
===[[File:ED209.png|50px]] ED-209===

Beepsky's bigger brother.
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">

Has all of the abilities of a standard Securitron with the addition of a ranged attack.
To make:
* Use a [[File:Metal.png]] metal sheet on a Cyborg Endoskeleton to reinforce it.
* Add two Robot Legs and a [[File:Armor.png]]security vest.
* [[File:Welderon.gif]]Weld everything together
* Add in a security [[File:Helmet.png]]Helmet
* Attach a [[File:Proximitysensor.png]]Proximity Sensor to the assembly
* Insert wires
* Add a [[File:Taser.png]]Taser and attach it with a [[File:Screwdriver tool.png]]Screwdriver.
* Insert a [[File:Powercell.png]]Power cell. Your own murder-robot is complete!

A emagged ED-209 fires deadly lasers AND attacks anyone on sight. Anyone emagging a ED-209 is advised to run like crazy.

= Exosuits =
Construction of exosuits are restricted by ID, so they are typically the product of [[roboticist]]s 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.

The current list of exosuits is as follows.
==Exosuit Construction==

Various tools and weapons can be attached to Exosuits, providng them with ability to perform different tasks. Exosuit Equipment is built by Exosuit Fabricator ("Exosuit Equipment" menu). To attach a tool or weapon, simply click with it on an Exosuit. Most Exosuits can hold no more than three equipment pieces.

Exosuit Equipment comes in several categories:
* General: Can be attached to any exosuit.
* Medical: Can only be attached to the Odysseus
* Industrial: Can only be attached to Ripley and Hoverpod
* Military: Can only be attached to Durand, Gygax, Marauder, and Phazon

Some equipments fit in more than one of the latter three categories. Where this is the case, that equipment can be used on any of the specifically named Exosuits in those categories.

There are some equipments that are also limited to single specific exosuits, those will be named in the category too where that's the case.
