Transfer valve bomb

Big bombs for a big bang. Again, this guide won't tell you how to create the perfect explosive mix, so feel free to sign up as a scientist and mess around with the equipment in the laboratory. You should also use the mainframe and VR goggles to run simulations instead of testing your bombs on the station.

You will need:

 A tank of heated gas
 A tank filled with an explosive mixture (Tip: usually involves plasma and oxygen.)
 A tank transfer valve
 A timer OR proximity sensor OR remote signaller

Piping

Parts for piping (the tubes used for trash disposal and mail) can be acquired from the pipe dispenser. There are six types, five of which can be dispensed:

• Straight and bent - self explanatory
• Junctions - two inputs, one side output. Has a very faint arrow denoting the output.
• Y-junctions - two inputs (facing eachother), one bottom output.
• Trunks - connect chutes to the pipe system
• Mail junctions - sorts mail, can't be dispensed

Breakin'

For more, see Hacking

Note that almost everything can be destroyed with a bomb.. but we hope you don't get that desperate.

Walls, Doors, and Floors

Airlock

 Screwdriver on Airlock
 Click Airlock (without screwdriver in hand)
 Have a Multitool in hand to test which wire does what
 Have a Wirecutter to cut or mend desired wire(s)
 If test light is on and bolts are down, pulse the wires to raise bolts.
 Crowbar opens unpowered doors with raised bolts
 Screwdriver the door to close it up when finished.
 Crowbar also opens powered doors, whose test lights are off,and
 the bolts up.

Door wiring is randomized per game, but all doors have the same wires. Using a multitool to pulse wires will only work if the door has power. Cutting wires can rid the door of some features (AI Control for instance) until the said wire is mended.

Ghetto Door hacking works on all doors:

 Screwdriver on some random Airlock
 Wirecutters on Airlock
 Cut everything until the bolts drop, make a note of which color does this
 Leave
 Screwdriver the Airlock you want to open
 Wirecutters, cut every other wire except that one
 Crowbar the door

Firedoors

 Crowbar to Open/Close
 Welder to seal Closed

Metal Grille

 Wirecutter to destroy, welder to remove what's left OR
 Screwdriver to remove/re-secure

Some grilles are electrified, as such it would be wise to have Insulated Gloves on before attempting to destroy or dislodge it. Alternatively, hit it repeatedly with a shard of glass to avoid a shock.

Glass Windows

 Welder to break OR
 Screwdriver to loosen, then push out OR
 Bashing object to break

Reinforced Windows

 Screwdriver
 Crowbar
 Screwdriver
 OR
 Bash in with heavy object(Fire Extinguisher takes approximately five hits)

Regular Walls

 Welder
 Screwdriver on 'Wall' to dislodge girders OR
 Wrench to dismantle girders

Note that the metal plates created by doing this obscure most of the 'wall', so be sure you are clicking on the right thing.

Reinforced Walls

APC

 Screwdriver
 Click on APC and drag the windows away from each other so you can see both at once
 Get wirecutters out of your toolbox/backpack/pockets and use them on the APC with the windows still open

There are four wires. Two short out the APC when cut, one cuts AI control when cut, and one does nothing when cut, but unlocks the APC when pulsed with a multitool. There's a chance you'll get shocked when cutting wires, so either have insulated gloves or do it in an isolated area where no-one will find you. South maintenance is a good choice.

Fire Alarms, Security Cameras, and Atmosphere Alarms
