| | As an '''Atmospheric Technician''', what you do is rather simple. Firstly, your stations atmospherics system starts up and running, but there is always room for improvement. Secondly, if there is any sort of environmental disaster, head off and fix it! Most of the crew requires air to survive and a good atmospheric tech can change the flow of an entire round. You have your tools, your [[Guide_to_Communication_Devices#Headset|engineering headset]], portable and mobile pipe dispensers, several space heaters, and atmospheric survival equipment. When things get quiet, sit back and start your own little projects, usually consisting of plotting ways to flood the station with a variety of toxic gases or the finding the exact amount of high powered pumps to crash that power supply and yell at the inferior engineers. Should you ever use said plans as a way to leverage other departments into recognizing the sovereignty of the great nation of Atmosia, be prepared for [[Security]] to come in and beat you silly. |
|
| |
|
| For the aspiring [[Roboticist]], this guide will explain the creation and maintenance of [[Cyborg]], [[#Bots|Bots]], and [[#Exosuits|Exosuits]], as well as the repair of [[#IPCs|IPCs]].
| | == Atmospherics == |
|
| |
|
| =Robotics Equipment=
| | This is your home. This is your motherland. Atmosia loves you, and you love Atmosia. Treat her right, and she'll never leave you hanging or gasping. |
|
| |
|
| ==Machines==
| | Atmosia is a beautiful land of pipes and various bits of atmospheric regulation equipment. Here, you'll find the pipes that distribute gas to the rest of the station, the means to control that gas, the supplies to keep that gas moving, breathable, and on the station rather than out in the vacuum of space, and the computers that will let you monitor the atmosphere on the whole station or remotely control them. Ever wondered why cargo loves wearing the Ushanka? Probably has to do with an atmos tech making their workplace a freezer with a button on their console. |
|
| |
|
| ===Exosuit Fabricator===
| | At first glance, the tangled mess of pipes that is Atmosia proper can seem intimidating. Don't let that frighten you. Atmosia is not nearly as confusing as she seems - and she is well worth the effort. |
| [[File:Exofab.png|100px|left]]
| | If you are in need of a little training jump in as engineering apprentice and have someone explain the basics to you once or twice, before starting to yell at them for constantly stealing your pipe dispenser. |
| 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.
| |
|
| |
|
| | == Your Job == |
|
| |
|
| 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)
| | Your job is air. You keep the station breathing. Without you, this place would suffocate while sucking on hard vacuum. Or freeze to death. Or die of depressurization. Or catch on fire. Or poison itself with phoron. You get the picture. |
| *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
| | In more specific terms, though, you have two primary duties: keeping the station's atmospheric systems running at full capacity and taking care of any specific atmospheric problems that pop up on the station. This means that you refill areas that have been depressurized, drain areas that have overpressurized, filter out [[Phoron|toxic gases]], fight fires, and any number of other things. See the [[Guide to Atmospherics]] for more details. |
| *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= | | === Repressurization === |
| '''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.
| | Repressurizing an area that has lost some of its atmosphere is the most common task you'll face as an Atmospheric Technician. Areas usually undergo depressurization when something exposes them to the cold void of space. This causes all of its atmosphere to rush out, along with anything unlucky enough to be caught in the windstorm. Coordinate with your fellow engineers. They can repair the walls while you lay out your majestic pipes or drag along another pipe dispenser. It is usually good to have them aware that you are active and able to fix the atmos issue while they focus on changing lightbulbs. |
|
| |
|
| <div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="width:99%">
| | After your [[Station Engineer|engineering buddies]] have taken care of a hull breach, it'll be your job to refill the area and make it breathable. This can be done by using the Air Alarms mounted on the walls in most areas, as well as the local vents and scrubbers. Atmosia, fortunately, is largely self-regulating; after a hull breach is sealed and the system is set to filter or fill in fresh air, the vents on the station will automatically begin replacing lost air as long as the pipes to the vents in the area are undamaged. This process is usually rather slow, unless you have upgraded your atmos systems to get the most out of it. You'll mainly be called to focus on critical or high-traffic area, and the crew needs it to be breathable ''now''. A well prepared portable air pump can fill an area within seconds. If your hands are full have the apprentices drag them in for you. |

| | Less commonly, you'll be called on to filter out toxins from the air or drain an area that's become overpressurized. Removing excess atmosphere from a room is as simple as going to the air alarm and selecting the replace setting (or Panic Syphon in extreme cases), then waiting for it to go back to green before switching back to Filter. |
| ===Extract a brain for the Cyborg===
| |
|
| |
|
| | Getting rid of toxins, on the other hand, is usually more difficult. Setting the air alarm filters to scrub out toxins and N2O from the air will help, but it might not be enough. Air scrubbers can be used to get rid of toxins, but if the spill is very large, you might have to resort to Panic Syphon or Replace Air settings. Remember to keep people out of the room as long as you're working. Not only are the toxins dangerous, but the fact that depressurization is probably your best option adds another threat. Just make sure to enable your magboots before bashing in a window and that the grill is not shocked. If it's a phoron spill, be damn sure there's nothing around that can set it off (unless you're planning on burning off the phoron, which is extremely dangerous and shouldn't be attempted in anything but the most extreme cases or by experienced Atmospheric Technicians). |

| '''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.

|
| You can also use a normal table instead of an operating table, but this has a chance of missing one third of the time.
| | There's a fire! This is a comparatively rare occurrence, but when there is one, you're expected to suit up and get the problem fixed without hesitation. Generally, this involves locking the area down and using Panic Syphon and/or Replace Air to quell the fire. Keep in mind that your atmos suit is designed for EVA operations. Your firefighter suit is not. |

| |
| ====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 == | | === Total Emergency: The Fire Axe and You === |
| 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.
| |
|
| |
|
| | The Fire Axe is your tool of choice during emergencies, since you can use it like a crowbar to open door when the power is off ''and'' use it as an incredibly powerful melee weapon or just to get rid of a window quickly. Just keep in mind that you have to be holding it with both hands to use it effectively (click on it while you're holding it to do this). Because it's so dangerous and it doesn't fit in a backpack or satchel, it should usually be left in its case in the computer room. If you have to have it, though, use a multi tool to unlock its case. Just be aware that, once it's out, you are seen as armed and dangerous, and [[Traitor|some people]] want to get their hands on it. Security will probably want to know why you grabbed it, too. |
|
| |
|
| <div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="width:99%">
| | == Traitoring == |
| === Repair ===
| |
|
| |
|
| When Cyborgs get dented, they'll come to you for repairs. Luckily, most repairs are simple
| | Atmospherics is already sensitive work, and it's just complex enough that people who don't know how it works themselves will generally let you do what you say needs to be done rather than question you when there's an Atmospherics alert in the area. This combined with the ability to remotely trigger such alarms or cause atmos troubles, gives you a free pass to enter almost all of the station without raising an eyebrow. This gives you all sorts of opportunity for shenanigans. Beyond that, you can sabotage the entire station's air supply very, very easily if you know what you're doing - but do it carefully, because you'll be one of those most under suspicion. You have easy access to phoron and other harmful substances as well. With a bit of inventiveness, you can do a lot of damage. Make sure to clear it with admins if you plan to send an entire department to sleep or declare the bridge a new construction zone via rapid phoron induced deconstruction. |

| |
| | |
| === 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.'''

| |
| 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

| = 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.
| |
| | |
| Exosuits are wholly modular, meaning what you make can (mostly) be mixed and matched to create whatever vehicle you desire. From chicken-legged brawling mecha to tread-based taxis, the possibilities are endless.
| |
| | |
| The current list of exosuit parts is as follows.
| |
| ==Exosuit Construction==
| |
| <div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="width:99%">
| |
| ===[[File:Mechframe.png]] The Frame===
| |
| | |
| The backbone of the mech itself, this can be modified at any stage of construction.
| |
| <div class="mw-collapsible-content">
| |
| | |
| To finish:
| |
| * Apply 15 steel sheets to the frame.
| |
| * Wrench the steel sheets in place.
| |
| * Weld the steel sheets in place.
| |
| * Wire the frame.
| |
| * Wire cutters to neaten the wiring.
| |
| * The following is the limitation and requirement for the frame's finished parts :
| |
| * - Motivators
| |
| * - Sensors
| |
| * - Manipulators
| |
| * - Chassis
| |
| * Once it's all applied, screwdriver to complete.
| |

| |
| <div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="width:99%">
| |
| ===[[File:Robotarmor.png]] The Parts===
| |
| | |
| The actual defining features of the mech, appearance and performance wise.
| |
| Each part has unique attributes that make them superior or inferior to the other parts, depending on situation.
| |
| <div class="mw-collapsible-content">
| |
| Individual parts of the mech require various, smaller parts from the mech fabricator to finish. Robot parts are found under the "robot" tab specifically, not the exosuit tab itself.
| |
| | |
| To finish the '''motivators and manipulators''':
| |
| * Apply one robot actuator.
| |
| | |
| To finish the '''sensors''':
| |
| * Apply one robot camera.
| |
| * Apply one robot radio.
| |
| * Apply one ''exosuit control module'', this is among the most important parts of the mech.
| |
| To finish the '''chassis''':
| |
| * Apply the exosuit armor of your choice. This is very important as it judges the durability of your mech.
| |
| * Apply one power cell of your choice.
| |
| * Apply one robot diagnostic unit.
| |
| | |
| | |
| * Once it's all done, place the parts on the mech frame.
| |
| | |
| ====The Exosuit Control Module====
| |
| The Exosuit Control Module takes very specific boards, but only two of any variety. This marks the limitation for modules that mecha can use. Theoretically, any mech can be used for any purpose with this system. The boards can be seen below.
| |
| * Basic Weapon Control - Controls the majority of weapons found in the exosuit fabricator. Without it, none of these can be utilized.
| |
| * Advanced Weapon Control - Controls the higher-end weaponry, such as X-RAYs and pulse cannons. Doesn't work for basic weapons without also using the basic weapon board.
| |
| * Utility Systems Control - Controls almost every utility system, such as clamps, drills and floodlights.
| |
| * Engineering Systems Control - Controls engineering systems such as the mounted RFD or fire extinguisher.
| |
| * Medical Systems Control - Controls medical systems such as sleepers, health analyzers and crisis drones.

| ===[[File:Examplemech.png]] Mech Piloting===
| |
| Simple tips to piloting your new death robot.
| |
| <div class="mw-collapsible-content">
| |
| ====Basics====
| |
| Mechs are pretty much larger versions of your own character in operation, meaning that, mechanically speaking (not RP wise) it's as simple as utilizing normal hotkeys once you've climbed into the mech to navigate.
| |
| | |
| To climb into the mech, drag your character's sprite onto the mech. Provided the canopy is open, you'll simply enter the mech after a brief delay. Any action will interrupt this process, especially being knocked over or pushed.
| |
| | |
| If the hatch/canopy/roll cage/etc. is closed, simply click on the mecha itself to swing it open.
| |
| | |
| Once you're inside, you ought to have full access to your inventory with the exception of using some items, using RIG modules, etc.
| |
| | |
| [[File:MechaInterface.png]]
| |
| | |
| The interface of the mech starts here. This is where basic functions are controlled.
| |
| * '''The MAINT button''' toggles the maintenance protocol on/off. Maintenance protocol permits the manipulation/deconstruction of the completed mecha, regardless of the presence of a pilot.
| |
| * '''The EJECT button''' ejects you, provided the canopy is unlocked.
| |
| * '''The CLEAR button''' toggles the hardpoint access system, permitting or forbidding editing of hardpoints from outside of the mech.
| |
| * '''The LOCK button''' locks the canopy once it's closed.
| |
| * '''The CLOSE/OPEN button''' opens/closes the canopy.
| |
| * '''The RADIO button''' permits configuration of the exosuit's internal radio.
| |
| * '''The CAMERA button''' does god-knows-what.
| |
| * '''The RENAME button''' permits the relabeling of the exosuit to whatever hilarious or cool thing you can come up with.
| |
| [[File:Mechainterface2.png]]
| |
| | |
| The next part of the exosuit interface is seen here. Basically, clicking on the background of the icon in question permits you to select the specific module that occupies that slot. Alt+clicking on the icon activates one of its utilities, like setting something to burst fire or dropping something from a clamp. Ctrl+clicking on the icon's background will eject the module entirely from your mech. To the right of this, ammunition/drill integrity/clamp contents can be seen.
| |
| | |
| [[File:Mechainterface3.png]]
| |
| | |
| The final piece is seen here, this displays the integrity of your mech. Damage will display on various specific parts, like motivators/manipulators/sensors/etc as it comes.
| |
| | |
| ====Repairing Your Mech====
| |
| Repairing a mech is a complex procedure, one that tends to involve activating maintenance protocols, wrenching the frame to dismantle it, and taking it apart piece by piece to fix the parts. Welder+wire will be needed in excess to fix damaged parts, and at higher damage thresholds, entire components will require replacement. This makes field repair of mechs rather difficult without a lot of spare parts on hand, so mechs aren't that sustainable running about aimlessly.
| |
| | |
| ====Replacing the Cell====
| |
| Replacing the cell of a mech is simple - just crowbar it out with maintenance protocols enabled, and place a new (hopefully charged) one inside.

| |
| <div class="mw-collapsible-content">
| |
| ====Requirements====
| |
| * '''Any [[Guide_to_Robotics#Exosuit_Construction|finished and functional mech]]'''
| |
| Simply follow the steps above to create your own mech. Take it for a test ride and make sure it is charged. Parking it on a charger will ensure it remains charged until it is actually needed.
| |
| | |
| * '''Remote control upgrade'''
| |
| Those can be printed via the integrated circuit printer. You can get one of those from your friendly [[Guide_to_Research_and_Development|scientist]] over at R&D.
| |
| They come in three forms, which respond to three different control networks: Standard for public use, penal to be used in prison work programs for the mines and AI to be controlled by the [[AI|station intelligence]]. It can only be attached to a fully working mech and cannot be removed. Only if the mech and control chair are on the same network will you be able to pilot your Mech from it.
| |
| | |
| * '''Linked remote control chair'''
| |
| You will need a mech control center assembly kit, which can be printed on the protolathe in R&D. It can be deployed anywhere and moved by using your wrench on it. Entering the chair will give you a list of all mechs connected to the corresponding network. You are able to control the mech as long as you remain within the chair itself.
