Janitor |
Difficulty: Easy to Medium Requirements: None Access Level: Janitor's Closet, Medbay, Morgue, Maintenance Additional Roleplay Access Level: None Supervisors: Captain, Head of Personnel Subordinates: None Responsibilities: Clean up vomit, blood, and other messes, pick up trash and other debris, soak up leaking seawater on ocean-based maps Guides: This is the guide! |
A Janitor is a humble soul wholeheartedly devoted to the simple yet Sisyphean goal of keeping the station clean and tidy. Like the Captain, the job gets its own dimly lit office, called the Custodial Closet, stocked with a variety of unique toys to play and clean with. Because this role involves simple tasks that are easy to learn and usually don't cause a lot of harm if you mess up, Janitor makes a great beginner job!
The Janitor's Arsenal
All of these items spawn in the custodial closet, with many of them appearing in the JaniTech.
Cleaning Equipment
Items for cleaning up messes such as blood puddles, vomit, puddles of liquid, and the like.
Item | Image | Description |
---|---|---|
Mop | The basic floor-cleaning device. Before washing can occur, the mop must first be wet. Using it on a floor will create a puddle of whatever fluid it's absorbed and liquefy average messes like dirt, blood, vomit, and oil. Using it on a puddle of fluids will soak the liquid into the mop. You can also use it in self defense like a spear via clicking a distant tile while on Harm intent. It is also possible to "joust" with these when riding a segway. | |
Mop bucket | Can hold about 400 units of liquid to dip your mop in, but must be dragged around behind you. Expect it to get pushed around constantly. | |
Bucket | Holds 120 units of liquid and is used to wet a mop or transfer liquids from a water tank to the mop bucket, though it's usually faster to click-drag the tank onto the mop bucket to fill it up to the brim in one go. Makes a helmet if wirecutters are used on it, but it also becomes useless for holding liquids. You can also click on it in-hand to make it into a bucket hat, dumping out its contents onto the floor and obscuring your vision when worn. A red version is available as both a reward for accruing a certain amount of Janitor XP and a reward from getting the Spotless medal. | |
Buff-R-Matic | It functions much like a segway, as you must drag yourself onto it, and you may be pushed off. Unlike a segway however, you will coat the floors with any chemicals you put in its reservoir tank when you turn the buffer on, and it will dry off floors with puddles of fluid when it's off. Comes filled with a mixture of water and space cleaner. | |
Cleaner grenade | A powerful anti-filth explosive. Click on it while it is in your active hand to pull the pin, then throw it. Explodes in a big cloud of foam that will remove most filth, but make the floors wet. | |
Spray bottles | Some of your bottles contain space cleaner, others are empty and be filled with whatever reagent you desire. If you're more interested in doing your job as opposed to slipping people up, stick to space cleaner as it actually cleans up dirt and blood and what-not, unlike bottles filled with pure water. | |
Sponge | A versatile scrubbing tool found near showers and tubs. Wet it using a sink or mop bucket and apply it directly to stubborn messes like dried vomit, or click a floor or wall tile to 'wipe it down' and clean dense piles of gibs and fungus with ease. A full sponge can be wrung out by clicking it in-hand, dumping its contents into a pool at your feet. On the Oshan map you can get them by hitting a sponge coral with wirecutters.
You can use a cutting/snipping tool, such as scissors, to make the sponge resemble a slice of cheese. You may also sometimes find a cheese-shaped sponge in the Kitchen's cheese box, and cutting preserves whatever chems were originally in the sponge. Great for pranks! | |
Tsunami-P3 Spray Bottle | Specialized cleaning instrument found a janitor-related derelict in the Debris Field. When used like a standard spray bottle (click on a tile while holding the thing), unleashes a 3-tile wide cleaning wave that travels for up to 9 tiles, removing any messes it touches. You cannot add in any chems, the cleaning wave itself is harmless and cannot slip people, and the bottle has unlimited uses. | |
Antique Mop | The mop before the fluids update, but better, found in a wreck in the Debris Field. Unlike the regular mop, it can clean multiple successive messes before drying out, more if you clean multiple messes at once. It takes a bit longer to clean than the regular mop, but it cleans things it normally can't, such as gibs and robot debris. It also makes the tile cleaned slippery for about fifteen seconds, evident via a faintly pulsing outline, causing anyone who runs over it to fall; walking and crawling are fine. Cannot mop up fluid puddles. |
Other Janitor Equipment
Clothes and other items not necessarily used for cleaning but nevertheless useful in the janitor business.
Item | Image | Description |
---|---|---|
Wet floor signs | Put these down after you mop a busy intersection and simply point to them and sigh after people slip on wet floors. Mopping without putting down wet floor signs is generally considered grounds for Light Mockery and Amusing Tickets & Fines. Clicking on a wet floor sign with a wrench anchors/unanchors it, preventing/allowing people to pick it up. | |
Galoshes | The janitor's (mostly) unique footwear. Prevents slipping on wet floors when worn, though you are still vulnerable to space lube, ice and certain other chemical spills. Every Janitor spawns with a pair, and there may be another pair lurking somewhere in deep space. | |
Rubber Gloves | Fun fact, did you know that the German word for gloves means hand shoes? That's what these little things are technically. While these rubber gloves won't prevent you from slipping (even if you walk on your hands), they're quite similar to the galoshes in appearance and also happen to provide some protection from dirt, heat and even electricty to some degree. | |
Mousetrap | Besides killing the chef's only friend, these can be used to just annoy folks or for more nefarious purposes with the right equipment. Anyone who steps on an armed mousetrap while barefoot will be stunned and take damage. | |
Trash Cart | A big green cart for stuffing litter (or corpses) into. Expect it to be pushed around and the items spilled. A lot. | |
Trash bags | Comes in two varieties, both otherwise functionally identical: Standard (black) and bio-hazardous (red). Can fit a number of normal- sized or smaller items (e.g. glass shards or bullet casings but not crates or TTVs) into them, with exception of other trash bags, and can be disposed of easily in either a trash cart or in disposal chutes. Wear it on your uniform slot and channel your inner Frank. Just ask genetics before you start eating the traysh. | |
Handheld Vacuum | A small vacuum that spawns in the Custodial Supplies Locker, useful for clearing litter, chemsmoke clouds, and ants. This has two main functions:
You can also click at least two tiles away from you to pull items within 3 tiles in the direction you towards you. This also has a 25% chance to make someone in the suction area drop the item they're holding, essentially making it a disarm at range, which is why this function can also be done by clicking on someone at melee range. |
JaniTech
This machine in the Custodial Closet vends many of the above janitorial items, namely:
Item | Quantity |
---|---|
Mop | 5 |
Sponge | 4 |
Space Cleaner Spray Bottle | 3 |
Bucket | 4 |
Space cleaner bottle (50 units of space cleaner) | 4 |
Cleaner Grenade | 6 |
Box of trash bags (7x trashbags each) | 8 |
Box of hazardous waste bags (7x biohazard bags each) | 8 |
Body bag box (7x body bags each) | 2 |
Mousetrap | 4 |
Wet Floor Sign | 10 |
Rubber Gloves | 2 |
(Hidden) Cheese-shaped sponge | 2 |
Custodial Supplies Locker
This is a unique locker in the Custodial Closet that contains a few extra janitorial supplies, notably the vacuum and some bottles of chemicals that can be used to make space cleaner. It starts off locked, but luckily you have access to it, so just click on the locker to unlock it, then click on it again to open it.
- 1x "Janitor's equipment" box (janitor jumpsuit, brown shoes, janitor headset, janitor PDA, i.e. no galoshes)
- 1x Acetone Bottle (50 units of Acetone)
- 1x Ammonia Bottle (50 units of Ammonia)
- 1x flashlight
- 1x pair of Rubber Gloves
- 2x Space Cleaner Bottles (50 units of space cleaner)
- 4x Wet Floor Signs
- 1x Handheld Vacuum
Janitor XP
As a reward for trying to clean up that the perpetual pigsty that is Space Station 13, at the end of the round, the game awards you with Janitor XP. Janitor XP is used for your janitor level, and at certain levels, you unlock particular rewards, detailed in the next section.
Rather than time or rounds spent, Janitor XP is earned through specific item actions, namely:
Action | XP Earned |
---|---|
Placing down (i.e. dropping) a wet floor sign or holo-emitter sign | 2 |
Spraying with the Tsunami-P3 Spray Bottle | 2 |
Spraying with a spray bottle. Bottle must have either water or cleaner. | 2 |
Soaking up a fluid puddle with a mop | 2 |
Cleaning a mess/tile with the mop. | 2 |
Cleaning a mess/tile with the antique mop. | 2 |
Soaking up a fluid puddle with a sponge | 1 |
Drying a tile with a sponge | 1 |
Wiping down something with a sponge | 3 |
Wetting a sponge | 1 |
Going over a tile with the Buff-R-Matic's sprayer on. Must be applying either water or cleaner. | 1 |
XP levels are also tracked on a leaderboard that has no purpose other than bragging rights.
Janitor Job Rewards
You can redeem the job rewards through the Check Job Rewards command, which you can find in the Commands tab and can enter in your text parser. Currently, there are 4 rewards available:
Name | Level Unlocked | Icon | Description |
---|---|---|---|
Red Bucket | 5 | Turns a standard blue bucket into a red bucket! They say that these red buckets used to be given as rewards to Janitors who did a really good job. Turns out veteran janitors aren't particularly impressed with cheap recolours of their existing equipment so they just started giving it out to the new guys. | |
Holo-Emitter | 10 | Floor signs that brightly light up the area around them when placed and have futuristic hologram effects. You can click on it in-hand to activate it and set the image displayed above the holo emitter. Modes/images include:
| |
Orange Mop | 15 | Takes a regular blue mop and makes it into an orange one. It's scented like some kind of citrus, but you can't think of what. You certainly don't want to take a bite out of it though. Especially now that it's been caked in blood and puke. | |
Head of Sanitation Beret / Hat | 20 | The Chief of Cleaning, the Superintendent of Scrubbing, whatever you call yourself, you know how to make those tiles shine. Good job. Use it in hand to switch between beret and a hat! |
Crew Objectives
As a loyal crew member, you can sometimes be assigned some strictly optional objectives to keep yourself busy while you wait for something to happen. If you complete your objectives by the end of the round, you'll get some bonus Spacebux and might even earn some Medals too. As a janitor, you can expect to see the following:
End the round medbay/brig/the bar spotless
There are a few different objectives like this, but they're all the same, they just want there to be no messes that you can clean up with your mop in the targeted area. With the exception of the bar and medbay, this typically happens without you doing a thing. But if you want to be more proactive, bug the roboticist for a cyborg arm and make a cleanbot. Deliver the cleanbot to the place the objective requests. Then walk away, you're basically done.
When you complete this objective for the first time, you get the Spotless medal. You don't need to complete it once for every version, and if you get multiple versions of this objective within one round, you don't have to fulfill each one. If, for example, you get the "keep medbay spotless" and "keep the bar" objectives and complete the medbay one, but fail the bar one, you still get the medal. As for rewards, this medal lets you, once per a round, turn a blue bucket into a red one, so you can add a dash of variety into your day.
Syndicate Janitors
The Syndicate janitor is well-equipped for a messy, horrifying rampage. Syndicate cleaner grenades appear to be regular at first, but in fact lay down a mess of acid and space lube in their path. Anyone who holds still will be horribly burned; anyone who runs away or moves into help will smash their face as they slip on the space lube. Your regular cleaning grenades also serve as an excellent getaway tool, slipping up the security forces out for your blood while you run off unharmed. If you can gain access to chemistry, you can load your empty spray bottles with devastating concoctions or turn them into makeshift flamethrowers. Finally, the trash compactor, disguised as a regular trash container, will quickly turn any slipped victim you capture into a cube of meat that explodes into messy (and uncloneable) gibs.
You COULD use your maintenance and disposals access to skulk around silently dispatching and disposing your targets... but that would be lame. Traitor janitors are all about live fast, die young!
