General Items (handheld)

Item	Image	Description
Backpack	File:MedicsBackpack.png File:MedicsSatchel.png	Your main storage space. To take it off your back, drag and drop it to an empty hand. The satchel is functionally identical.
Fanny Pack		A backpack you can wear around the waist. Unlike the majority of regular belts, fanny packs can be used to store guns and other normal-sized objects.
Box		Your secondary storage space, which can hold up to seven tiny or small items. One of these spawns in every backpack and fanny pack.
Briefcase		Nice and classy hand-held storage case. Filled with paper sheets and a pen by default. Doubles as an excellent bludgeon.
Flashlight		Illuminates dark areas. Found in emergency toolboxes and the warehouse, among other places. Small enough to fit in a pocket or on your belt. Multiple light sources on your person will stack, lighting a larger area with greater luminosity.
Paper		Use a pen on it to write stuff, examine it to read. Click on a noticeboard to pin it there. You can also hold the paper up to a camera to discreetly send messages to the AI. Fold it to get a hat or a paper airplane!
Sticky Notes		Like paper that can stay on a wall or floor tile. Put the sticky note on the surface first, then use a pen/pencil/marker/whatever to write on it.
Pen		Used for writing on said paper/notes, or leaving graffiti on the floor and walls. Variants include the sleepy pen traitor item and I-pen to leave infrared messages that can only be read with the help of Meson Goggles.
Crayons		For writing large letters and symbols on walls and floors, like you used to do in kindergarten!
Hand labeler		For labeling things, of course. Whatever you put as the label text will be added to the name of the object, in parenthesis. Simply click/activate it in-hand to set the label text. Putting nothing for the label text lets you remove labels. You can usually find one of these in the Morgue, the Chef's Catering supplies locker, or a Belt Hell station.
Stapler		In iconic red! If you have a stapler in your off hand and a piece of paper in your active hand, and click on another piece paper, you'll join the two pieces of paper together as a booklet, with actual pages and such. Not suitable for limb reattachment.
Scissors		Used for cutting hair, removing unsightly bandages, wrapping things for gifts, and/or shanking people to make them bleed.
Dice		Also known as probability cubes to brobocops.
Water Bottle		Get the space dust out of your throat.
Spray Bottle		Versatile liquid-spraying device with a capacity of 100 units. Some of the bottles (such as the janitor's) come filled with space cleaner, a strong cleaning chemical that doesn't leave floors wet. Spray bottles can be used with other liquids as well, and scientists therefore covet these items because they can delivery nasty chemicals into people's faces with them.
Mousetrap		Sometimes used by jerks to kill the chef's only friend. You can also hide these in containers such as backpacks or emergency boxes to make traps for unsuspecting victims! For the ultimate party gag, try to combine them with certain other items...oh, the possibilities of a single mousetrap! Make sure to arm it by clicking on it in your hand before putting it down!
Station Bounced Radio		Essentially a handheld transceiver. Less versatile than a regular headset, but it can be clipped to your belt. Found in every emergency toolbox. Cyborgs use these to talk over the radio.
Fire Extinguisher		Useful for firefighting, as an impromptu jetpack and the weapon of choice for seasoned greyshirts. Just remember to disable the safety first and that against any fire which is still being fueled, you won't make much progress. Once emptied, you don't necessarily have to refill it with regular foam either... Remember, click on a tile, with the safety off, to spray out the foam or whatever's inside and apply it on the turf tile. Click on a person, on either setting (it'll automagically turn off the safety if it's on), while on help intent, to spray them with the extinguisher. Click on them with any other intent, on any other setting, to apply the extinguisher to the face or body area of choice.
Gas Tank		These large tanks hold up to 1013 kPa of gaseous elements. By default, they contain an air mixture (white), O2 (blue w/ white stripe), N2O (white w/ red stripe) or plasma (special sprite). With the exception of the latter, they can be worn on the back slot. Compatible with the connector port of air pumps, air scrubbers, tank transfer valves and gas canisters.
Emergency Oxygen Tank		Works like a regular gas tank and oddly enough has the same capacity, even though it's at best half the size. While these start off nearly empty, they are small enough to fit in the belt slot or in a jumpsuit pocket. They spawn in emergency closets and occasionally backpacks of new arrivals.
Fuel Tank		This small tank has been designed specifically for holding flammable compounds. Consequently, they contain welding fuel by default. Essential component of flamethrowers. Often found in Pod Bays.
Cigarettes and Joints		Cigarettes come in a couple of different flavours. Regular packages can be bought from vending machines, and joints are created by using a sheet of paper on a cannabis leaf or any other herb. The explosive variety is available to traitors.
Lighter		For lighting your cigarettes, heating beakers or making a light source by attaching it to your belt or pocket slots. Most certainly ranks cooler than an igniter, and any self-respecting detective would agree.
Satchel		Miners and botanists have their own type. Drag and drop suitable objects onto a satchel to stuff them inside, for example ore or produce. They also interact nicely with tables (drag & drop), crates, mail chutes and other pieces of machinery. Satchels can be stored on the belt or in jumpsuit pockets.
Water Balloon		Water balloons can be filled with helium or any other reagent and burst when thrown at somebody. Endless amusement.
Easter Egg		A mysterious rare egg you can open up to receive a RANDOM PRIZE OF SOME SORT! Woo! Usually, it's just a shitty Cosby sweater, but you can get anything from a powerful mystical object to a BFG!
Toy Figure		These come in little capsules you can get from the aptly-named capsule vending machine. You may even find rare or special editions! Collect them all! Try smacking them together on different intents!
'BioToys' Sponge Capsule Packet	File:SpongeToyCapsulePack.png File:SpongeToyCapsule.png	Take a capsule out of the packet, pour some water on it (or put it in a suitably wet place) , and an adorable Critter will pop out! Available in Sponge Capsule Crates from Cargo.
Camera		An instant camera with a replaceable film cartridge (typically good for 10 photos, but can be up to 30). Using it on a person or tile will spit out a picture. Examining the picture will show you the names of all people or things on that tile, as well as anything those people are holding in their hands. The camera can be used in conjunction with thermals to take pictures of cloaked people through the surveillance camera. The detective has a spare film cartridge in his locker.
Audio log		A retro audio device for making mixtapes and recording voices, depending on where's stored. In-hand, it records the holder's voice alone; in a backpack or a pocket, a conversation; and in a room, everything said within a range of it.
Lipstick		A tube of lipstick for adding color to your lips or writing rude messages on the walls and floors like a crayon. The Chef (or anyone with an oven) can make these just by sticking a capsule and crayon (color of either doesn't matter) into an oven for some time. Click your character (or another person's) and to apply a tinsy bit on your lips. Make sure to stay perfectly still, or there'll be a lot more than a tinsy bit on your face. Permanently.
Wrapping Paper		The means for making presents, often found in the Bar. To make presents, put the wrapping paper on a table first, then click on the wrapping paper with the item you want to wrap up while holding a suitable cutting instrument (e.g. scissors, wirecutters) in your other hand. Wrapping presents consumes units of wrapping paper. All rolls come with 20 units, wrapping tiny- to small-size items takes 4 units, and wrapping normal-size items takes 8 units.
Baseball Bat		Found, not in the Gym, but somewhere in Maintenance. There's no complimentary baseball, unfortunately, but you play baseball with just about anything with this slugger, because it will deflect anything thrown at you off into a random direction, provided, of course, you can get the timing right.

General Items (large)

Item	Image	Description
Tank		Rather massive type of container typically often found in the maintenance corridors, tool storage and the warehouse. Depending on their designation, they either contain firefighting foam, water, welding fuel, fertilizer or helium. Water fountains come with a limited supply of paper cups, and welding fuel tanks will rupture if heated. All tanks support drag & drop functionality for certain targets (beaker or similar receptacle, spray bottle, plant pot, mop bucket) as well as the traditional method of drawing from their contents (using a beaker-type receptacle on the tank). Drag & drop can also be employed to transfer reagents from a beaker-type container to the tank.
Closets and Lockers		Widely used around the station. Can hold almost anything inside them, and may be secured by an ID lock or with the help of a welding tool. If you see one of them shaking like crazy, that means a person is trying to get out of a welded or locked closet. Doing flips has a chance to damage and eventually break them open from the inside. Traitors have the option to order a floor closet. Fun fact: If you use a welder on it while it's still open, you'll cut some leg holes into it. That way, when some nerd shoves you in and welds it shut, you'll still be able to move...kinda.
Coffin		Exactly the same as a closet. These can be found in the chapel, and are meant to have bodies of the dearly deceased placed in them. It's mostly used for hiding murder victims.
Crate	File:SecureCrate.png	Another location to store things or bodies. And like closets, they can be welded shut or locked. On a productive day, miners might use them to send ore to the cargo bay, or crack open abandoned ones with a multitool for a chance at some sweet loot. If you get stuck, use drag & drop (your mob onto the crate) to scoot around it.
Chair		Haunted piece of furniture. People are effectively immobilized when buckled to the chair. Folding chairs can be folded up and carried around, office chairs moved after unscrewing them from the floor. Both can also be climbed and jumped from, perfect for wrestlers!
Bed		Sleepy? Buckle yourself to a bed and use the sleep in command. To wake up, click the rest button on your HUD. Beds are movable, use a screwdriver on them.
Stool		Small stool for decoration purposes.
Table		These can either be regular or reinforced, a corner piece, face a certain direction or stand-alone. Not the most formidable obstacle. The Chemistry Lab gets a special version of these that can store loads of items. Can be used for impromptu surgery if the victim patient is unconscious.
Shrub		Decorative plant that comes in a variety of forms and species. Shake it, and you might find some nice clothes or useful tools! (or smack whoever's hiding behind it).
Intercom		Fixed, wall-mounted communication devices supplementing the crew's headsets. Some are tuned in to the general channel, others are set to a department-specific frequency.
Cell Charger		The most convenient way to recharge power cells. It will recharge high-capacity batteries (7500+ PUs) much faster than the APC's built-in version.
Recharger		This handy device is capable of replenishing the battery of almost any energy weapon, stun baton, small power cell and certain mining tools. Located in security, the cargo bay, the mining outpost and other places. For obvious reasons, access to one of these is usually critical for traitors.
Credit Transfer Device		So, you want to sell bombs harmless goods at the market? Forget paper money! Just swipe the target (i.e. your) ID first and ask the customer to do the same. He or she will then be prompted to enter the desired amount of credits to transfer.
ATM		If that isn't an option, one of the automated teller machines can be used to either withdraw money directly or transfer a certain amount to your ID card (required to play the slot machine, but mostly obsolete otherwise). Your PIN can be set from the character set-up menu and is otherwise randomly generated at the start of every round; type "notes" to retrieve your PIN.
Slot Machine		Take a break and relax at Roland's Bar and Space Casino! As mentioned above, you won't be able to start the fun without some preparation. Surprisingly profitable.
Fabricator		A variety of different fabricators exist, each type serving a particular department. See Making and Breaking for more information.
Portable Material Processor		Formerly known as a reclaimer. Designed to work in conjunction with fabricators. See Making and Breaking for more information.
Vending Machine		These automated shopkeepers dispense everything from soda to monkeys - as long as you have enough money or alternative currency, of course.
Arcade Machine		Found on the arrival shuttle and in the arcade. Defeat treacherous monsters and obstacles to win prizes! Lead on, adventurer, your quest awaits!
Canister		Large storage containers of gas. Smaller tanks can be attached to them, to either draw or put in their contents. They can also be fixed to appropriate connector ports with a wrench.
Meteor Shield Generator		Drag it near a window or external wall and turn it on. It'll create a small energy barrier around that area, which busts up incoming meteors. Depending on the settings, the shield may have a radius of one to six tiles. The generators have a limited charge and a larger shield naturally drains the battery faster, so only keep them running when absolutely necessary. They are usually stored in emergency storage and other places around the station.
Cyborg Docking Station		Found in robotics, tool storage and the mining outpost. Used by cyborgs to recharge their power and make repairs. Also allows people to change the cyborg's name, appearance, module and power cell, and lets the cyborg install upgrades and put on certain pieces of clothing.
Disposal Unit		As the name implies, they are connected to the pipe network and usually lead to waste disposal, though some of them have been repurposed for deliveries to the morgue, crematorium and elsewhere instead. If in doubt, check the label on the device jump into every disposal unit you see without thinking twice!
Mail Chute		The local pneumatic post system extends to every department plus several public areas of the station. You cannot climb into mail chutes without the special suit.
Tanning Bed		A little machine that lets you change skin color. You use the machine to activate it (shame you can't use it while in the bed) as well as set much time you'll be in there and whether it'll wait a while before activating. By default, it makes you a little bit darker, but you can also pry out the tubes with the crowbar and replace them with funky colored ones to get all sorts of Technicolor skin tones. Just remember to wear the appropriate eye protection for the UV rays and dress...very lightly (good thing there's usually tanning glasses and swimsuits nearby this thing.)
Cryosleep Unit		An advanced cryogenics system that players who join after roundstart climb out of if the map is Destiny, Clarion, or Linemap. Shove a braindead player to keep them safe till they get back into the game, or climb in yourself if you ever have to leave the game for fairly extended amounts of time.
