Floors
Regular floors can be made in space by: - using rods first on empty space, creating a lattice - then placing a floor tile on top of it (floor tiles can be made from a sheet of metal) Use another floor tile on the plating to create a regular floor. Fire-resistant floors can be made using one floor tile, and one rods Use rods on plating to create a floor similar to the engine floor
Barricades
Barricades can be made in space by: - using rods first on empty space, creating a lattice - then using more rods on the lattice to create the barricade - and can be reinforced with even more rods
Hidden Doors
Hidden Door - Regular Wall
You will need:
3 (or 4) sheets of metal crowbar
To build:
Use 2 metal to build girders Use crowbar on girders Use 1 (if not 1, then 2) metal on girders
Hidden Door - Reinforced Wall
You will need:
4 sheets of metal crowbar
To build:
Use 2 metal to build girders Use crowbar on girders Use 2 metal on to make reinforced sheet Use reinforced sheet on girders
Misc.
Electric Chair
You will need:
1 electropack 1 helmet (Space helmets wont work) 1 sheet of metal
To Build:
Click metal while you're holding it Choose "chair" Use helmet on electropack to make shock_kit Use shock_kit on chair to make electrified chair
Note: Default Frequency/Code is: "144.9 :: 2". To change this you must click on electropack while you're holding it, and modify it from the pop-up interface. Electric chairs are remotely activated, but must be toggled on before usage (right click, and select "toggle power"). Also, the room must have power for the chair to work.
To disassemble the chair, use a wrench.
An electropack can be used by itself for more.. nefarious purposes. Try it out on certain parts of your body!
Station Bots
See Robots.
Computers
Normal computer:
You will need:
5 sheets of metal 2 sheets of glass 5 pieces of wire wrench screwdriver 1 circuit board
To Build:
have the metal in hand, click on it, choose 'Computer frame' wrench insert circuit board screwdriver wires glass screwdriver
Note: Useful for computers which are built from one board only.
Heavy computers and Computer terminals:
You will need:
5 sheets of metal 2 sheets of glass 5 pieces of wire wrench screwdriver 1 id scanner module (+ up to 2 more modules) 1 storage drive 1 computer mainboard
To Build:
have the metal in hand, click on it, choose 'Heavy computer frame' or 'Computer terminal' wrench insert computer mainboard screwdriver insert all modules (up to 3) wires insert storage drive glass screwdriver
Note: Useful for DOS run computers, built from components.
Fixing Propulsion Thrusters
You will need:
screwdriver rods space suit and oxygen internals
To fix:
use the screwdriver on the engine then add the rods (you only need one!)
Note: both thrusters need to be functional for the shuttle to move!
Fixing bombed APCs
This is for APCs that have been completely broken (They have a damaged sprite and the area is left unpowered), not APCs that have had their wires shorted.
You will need:
screwdriver wrench multitool 4 pieces of wire
To fix:
Use the screwdriver on the APC. Add the wire. Wrench the APC. Apply the mulitool. Finally, use the screwdriver on it again.
Fixing Microwaves
If the microwave is just dirty, use a spray bottle of space cleaner. A completely broken unit has to be fixed with some tools.
You will need:
screwdriver wrench
To fix:
Use the screwdriver on the microwave. Finish the job with a wrench.

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
Wirecutter Screwdriver Welder Crowbar Wrench Welder Crowbar Screwdriver Wirecutter Wrench
Note: Wait 5-8 secs for each to complete.
Computers
Normal computer:
To Break:
Screwdriver Crowbar Wirecutters Screwdriver Crowbar (removes circuit board) Wrench Welder
Note: Not all computers can be dismantled.
ThinkDOS computer:
To Break:
Screwdriver Crowbar Crowbar (removes hard drive) Wirecutters Crowbar (removes all modules) Screwdriver Crowbar (removes motherboard) Wrench Welder
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.
