After several experiments in getting crew members to build their own station produced disappointing turnout, NanoTrasen decided to shelve the project and reassign all the builders onto their main space installations, tasking them with the usual duty of repairing and renovating their ships and stations. Luckily for these Construction Workers, they got to keep all their tools, gear, and, most importantly, their specialized construction equipment, including their highly advanced version of the rapid-construction device and their unique building guns that can instantly convert flooring.
Your Tools
Thanks to NanoTrasen's (and the coders') generosity, you spawn with all the tools you need for construction work right from the get-go. You start with a utility belt stocked with essential engineering tools (specially a screwdriver, wrench, crowbar, wirecutters, atmospherics analyzer, and multitool) and two 50-unit matter cartridges for RCDs. If you ever need to enter Space to build something, you have nothing to fear; you spawn wearing an engineering space suit that protects you from the vacuum of space, magboots to keep you from floating away, and a jetpack that supplies oxygen when configured correctly and allows free movement through space.
That's not all though! Your backpack (or equivalent) also contains a special set of tools needed to build the station of your dreams! Instead of just trying to talk about how awesome all of your construction equipment is, here is a full list with all your fancy tools and what they do!
Device | Image | Description |
---|---|---|
Construction Visualizer | A device worn on your eyes. It lets you see green pre-planned tiles laid out using the Plan Designator. | |
RCD (Rapid Construction Device) Deluxe | Everyone starts with one of these. Looks like and acts like your standard standard RCD, but with reduced deconstruction costs and up to 1,500 charges! It also comes with a few extra functions, listed in the order it's cycled in the RCD itself:
| |
Plan Designator | This device is one of your most essential tools next to your RCD. To use it, put it in your hand and left click on it. It will pop up a dialog box for either floors, or walls. Selecting either one of these two options will open up a WIDE list of selectable textures to choose from. The can be anything from the standard station floor/walls textures to grass, catwalks, and cave walls! This gun has most, if not all the wall/floor sprites used on Goonstation.
After making the selection of what sprite you want, left clicking with the gun on a space tile will highlight it with a green, transparent version of the tile you want. (Note: if you aren't wearing your Construction Visualizer you cannot see this!) Then, when you are finished pre-planning the room, use your RCD on the green tiles to make them into solid physical tiles, just like how the RCD works on the normal station. If you want a special wall, you build the floor under it first, then build the wall by clicking again. BUT WAIT! THERE'S MORE! Don't like how the current room looks? Or messed up and want to change something? You can change the tile sprite of any tile already built by a RCD just by selecting and left clicking on the tile. Walls will change automatically, but if a wall is clicked on a floor, it will place the green outline like a space tile so the RCD can build custom walls. | |
Material Shaper | This gun pretty much has one job. One VERY helpful job. It takes processed metal bars and glass cubes from the reclaim, stores them internally, and uses them to produce preset glass/grill wall sections for your station, providing a efferent and quick way to make Window/Grill sections then needing to do set down panels and grilles yourself.
The gun has two different modes that are pretty straight forward.
| |
Room Designator | In the Construction Game Mode, this would let you zone rooms, so you could order more constructions kits for creating various rooms. Now that it's been depreciated, this thing does absolutely nothing. |
Your Duties
even less than the engineer's possible use for hellburns help rebuild (link to engineer's guide on it) build things when the ship/station isn't a mess
Possible Things to Do
gotta work on that title some ideas I've had so far, listed right now so I don't forget them -owlery/nature reserve -another bar -shrine --related: refurnish the chapel to suit the chaplain's religion -switch the flooring of two rooms around, see if anybody notices -store
