MechComp (WIP)
In your lab of secrets you have some neat components found in the MechComp dispenser, which can be used for wonderful useful things.
What do I have?
A lot of different things.
Inputs
Machinery meant to send a signal to other machinery.
| Item | Image | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Button |  |
Used to send a signal V.I.A. pressing the button |
| Pressure Pad |  |
Used to send a signal V.I.A. stepping on it |
| Doors | Yes, doors can be used to send signals to machinery too |
Wiring
Wiring used to make more complicated machines.
| Item | Image | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Relay Circut | Used to send a signal between a non-MechComp machine, and another non-MechComp machine (ex: Doors) | |
| AND Circut |  |
MORE INFO NEEDED |
| OR Circut | MORE INFO NEEDED | |
| Delay Circut |  |
Used to delay a signal sent to it by tenths of a second (eg. A signal is sent to it, it delays by how many tenths of a second you want it to, then it sends a signal to whatever you want it sent to). You can set the delay by right-clicking on the square and under "Delay Circut" there will be an option saying "[Set Delay]"[CITATION SPELLING NEEDED] |
Machines
Actual machinery dispensed by MechComp.
| Item | Image | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Graviton Accelerator |  |
The Holy Grail of MechComp, used to send any unbolted item (or person) flying away in a fixed direction until it/he/she collides with something |
| Sound Synthesizer | Used to produce any talk you would like it to say. Change the text by changing the output signal of the thing triggering it. Currently doesn't work with doors[CITATION NEEDED] | |
| Gun Component |  |
MORE INFO NEEDED |
| Chargeable Gun Component | MORE INFO NEEDED |
How do I make machines?
Put parts in the places you want, use the wrench on them to bolt them to the floor (use it again to unbolt them if you wish).
Then, link parts together by dragging parts to other parts with your mouse, it will ask you what you want the first item (the item you dragged to the other item) to be, the trigger or the receiver. Select trigger to make the first part trigger the other part, or receiver to make the first part receive the signal from the other part.
Then, it will ask what you want it to do. No matter if you selected the trigger first the or receiver first, it will always be in the context of "What do you want the trigger to do to the receiver?", mostly it will only be able to do stuff like "activate", but there are some exceptions.
A note about doors
From what I can tell, you can only open doors with machines when they don't require any access at all! However, all doors can send a signal to machinery.[CITATION NEEDED]
Advanced Tactics
[INSERT RELAY IMAGE] You can use the Relay Circut to send a signal between a non-MechComp machine to another non-MechComp machine e.g. doors. Currently the only use that I can think of is opening multiple escape doors at once. And if you get it right with multiple Relays, you can make an infinite loop of doors opening and closing.
[INSERT SOUND SYNTH IMAGE] You can only use the Sound Synthesizer with buttons or pressure pads due to the fact that only they can send a specific signal[CITATION NEEDED]. You can change the text by changing the signal sent by the trigger, by right-clicking on the square, and under the triggers menu, click "[Change Signal]"[CITATION SPELLING NEEDED], and change the signal to whatever you want the Sound Synthesizer to say.
Keep in mind that while Gravitons can be activated by pressure plates and buttons, they can also be activated by doors!
Ideas for machines
Well, that depends, you a traitor?
Non-traitor things
- Bait the AI upload with a Graviton trap for the pesky AI subverters
Traitor things
- Use Gravitons for evil deeds
