	* '''Upgrade:''' In an engineering context it usually means either upgrading an SMES with more coils or optimizing the atmospherics systems with better hardware and settings. Only Atmospheric Technicians should be doing the latter. E.g. "Joe, have you upgraded distribution yet?"		* '''Upgrade:''' In an engineering context it usually means either upgrading an SMES with more coils or optimizing the atmospherics systems with better hardware and settings. Only Atmospheric Technicians should be doing the latter. E.g. "Joe, have you upgraded distribution yet?"
	* '''Vented:''' When an area loses atmosphere, not only due to a breach but potentially other causes like an open airlock. These are high priority emergencies as venting can spread from room to room if someone accidentally (or deliberately) opens air shutters. E.g. "John, all of service is vented!"		* '''Vented:''' When an area loses atmosphere, not only due to a breach but potentially other causes like an open airlock. These are high priority emergencies as venting can spread from room to room if someone accidentally (or deliberately) opens air shutters. E.g. "John, all of service is vented!"
	* '''Alt click:''' Holding the alt key while left clicking something. This can produce various effects, such as popping the ID out of your PDA. It's important to engineering because you can alt click a tile to see and interact with everything on it in the top right of your screen. This is an out-of-character term and should not be utilized in-character.
	* '''Cycle:''' Short for "shield cycling", when you power off the ship's shield generator and turn it back on. This is an important but risky duty; the shield doesn't regenerate without a fresh cycle, yet the Horizon is completely vulnerable while the shields power back up. E.g. "Eddie Engineer, carp just breached the shields. Can you cycle them?"		* '''Cycle:''' Short for "shield cycling", when you power off the ship's shield generator and turn it back on.

"Eddie Engineer, carp just breached the shields. Can you cycle them?"
	* '''Aft/port/fore/starboard:''' Nautical references used in reference to a ship's sides. Aft is the back of the ship, or north from the top-down perspective, where the thrusters lie. Port is the ship's "left" wing, or east. Fore is the front where the bridge is, or south. Starboard is the ship's "right" wing, or west.		* '''Aft/port/fore/starboard:''' Nautical references used in reference to a ship's sides.

Fore is the front where the bridge is, or south. Starboard is the ship's "right" wing, or west.

	* '''Shield generator:''' Used in pairs. [[File:Wrench.png]] Wrench each on a [[File:CableCoils.png]] wire knot and make sure there is a direct line between them, then flick them on.

Simply ~~[[File:Wrench.png]] wrench one on a [[File:CableCoils.png]] knot,~~ mark where you want the shield to be with engineering tape, use a [[File:Multitool.gif]] multitool on the tape, and switch it on.

	At the bottom of the RCON program, you will see a list of breaker controls. These control whether the bypass that allows the main grid to directly power the department grids is on or off. You will want to turn all of these off, but '''make sure that the substations mentioned above are slightly charged before you turn off bypasses'''. At best, you'll have the common channel annoyedly informing you their power is gone; at worst, you'll have ship-wide blackouts as power adjusts.

			=== Common Terminology ===
			* '''Wires:''' Often used in reference to [[Guide_to_Hacking\|hacking]]. Common ones include "bolts" (the wire controlling a door's bolts) and "ID" (the door's ID scan). E.g. "What are the wires?" "Blue is ID."
			* '''Distribution:''' A source of power or atmosphere for the ship. The former refers to any reactor's SMES unit, which distributes power to every other SMES on the grid, while the latter is the air tank in atmospherics which provides the crew with fresh air. E.g. "Is distribution back online yet, Amy Atmosphere?" "No, we don't have enough power."
			* '''Upgrade:''' In an engineering context it usually means either upgrading an SMES with more coils or optimizing the atmospherics systems with better hardware and settings. Only Atmospheric Technicians should be doing the latter. E.g. "Joe, have you upgraded distribution yet?"

Each option is simply one sub-grid of the ship's greater grid. To learn about the difference between sub-grids and the "main" grid, see the [[Engineer#Power_Storage_Units\|Power Storage Units]] section below.
