Operating the Torpedo Tubes

sprites for objects mentioned Soon(TM)
  1. Click on the torpedo tube to open it up and pull out the torpedo tube tray. Make sure there's nothing blocking it.
  2. Click-drag the sprite of whatever you want to load onto the torpedo tube tray sprites.
  3. Click on the torpedo tube to close it.
  4. Go to the torpedo console. You should see a targeting reticule, which will let. Some pointers:
    • Unless you're launching a high explosive torpedo, the projectile launched cannot go through solid objects.
    • You can press Q or E to exit the console, as the game tells you.
  5. To fire at where you're aiming, press the spacebar. Ideally, you should have permission from the Head of Security, Head of Personnel, or Captain before doing this.

Things That Can Be Launched From Torpedo Tubes

Please note that only one launchable can be in the tube at a time.

  • Incendiary torpedos - Creates a blazing blue, screen-wide fireball upon hitting something.
  • Explosive torpedos - Explodes upon contact with a person or solid object, releasing shrapnel. Damage is on par with a weak TTV; everything within a roughly 3 tile radius (i.e. a 5x5 square) is utterly obliterated, and anything a good distance beyond that is heavily damaged.
  • High explosive torpedos - Can penetrate through three walls/windows/solid impassible objects before exploding with roughly the same power as a standard explosive torpedo.
  • Toxic torpedos - Upon contact with, creates a screen-wide, persistent cloud of sarin, a deadly nerve gas that stuns and inflicts multiple damage types. The cloud cannot penetrate through walls and windows, and unlike the sarin grenade, concentration is high enough that even brief exposure has adverse effects.
  • Coffins CoffinNew.png CoffinFancy.png - Because the torpedo tubes wouldn't be any good if you couldn't perform burial at sea with them. That said, the coffin is arguably unnecessary because...
  • People Jobclown.png - ...you can insert people, living or dead, onto the tubes. You do not have to click-drag them onto the tube; if you open the tube while someone's in front of it and then close it, they'll go in. Launching does not in of itself harm them.
Sprites for torpedos Coming Soon (tm)
