Toolbox		The standard blue toolbox and iconic symbol of SS13's robust combat system because of its longstanding choice as an improvised weapon. For best results, apply directly to forehead. Contains screwdriver, wirecutters, wrench, crowbar, analyzer
Electrical Toolbox		Contains screwdriver, wirecutters, crowbar, T-Ray Scanner, 3x lengths of wire
Emergency Toolbox		Contains fire extinguisher, station bounced radio, flashlight, crowbar
Tool Belt		Can hold screwdriver, wirecutters, wrench, crowbar, analyzer, T-Ray scanner, wire, multitool, and soldering iron.

Tools

Item	Image	Description
Screwdriver		Used in moving windows, grilles, building Computers, opening panels, fixing microwaves, combining/modifying small devices, opening cyborg heads, and more.
Wirecutters		Used in wiring, hacking, deconstructing computers, etc. Live wires should always be handled with insulated gloves.
Wrench		Used in building computers, deconstructing tables, chairs, and so on, activating cyborgs, deconstructing walls.
Welder		Must be activated to use and has limited fuel supply. An active welder will ignite plasma, break lightbulbs, and set off fire alarms. Can be used for multiple purposes, but will often cause eye damage without proper eyewear. Can dismantle walls, fix robots, turn shards into glass, seal doors, fighting the blob, etc.
Crowbar		Can pry open firelocks or unpowered doors, floor tiles, windows, and girders
Multitool		Can pulse wires in machinery, an essential aspect of hacking. Using a multitool on wiring on the ground will tell how much power it's receiving.
T-Ray Scanner		Illuminates cables and disposal pipes beneath floor tiles. Can be used while in your pocket or on your belt. Using it on a door will report whether or not it is electrified. It also causes people carrying a cloaker to flicker briefly when nearby.
Wire		Used in constructing computers, repairing damaged wiring, and making pretty art. Check out Guide to Wiring for details.
Soldering Iron		Used by electricians to secure and deploy devices.
Analyzer		Tells you the atmospheric conditions around you. The same function is in your PDA and wall-mounted atmos sensors so this thing is pretty much useless.
RCD (Rapid Construction Device)		The RCD uses a finite ammo supply to quickly construct or deconstruct floors, walls, and airlocks. The RCD and 30 units of compressed matter begin in EVA. It costs 1 to build a floor, 3 to build a wall, 5 to dismantle a floor or wall, and 10 to build or dismantle an airlock. Stealing this is a possible traitor objective. Additional RCDs and RCD ammo can be made at a mining fabricator. Construction borgs have a built-in RCD with effectively infinite ammo. The RCD creates sparks when switching between modes or when it finishes its task.
i-Pen		Writes messages on walls in infrared ink, visible only to the AI, cyborgs, and those wearing mesons. Great for clandestine messaging and crude graffiti.

Equipment

Item	Image	Description
Optical Meson Scanner		Allows the wearer to see the condition of the station through walls, and protects their eyes from looking at the Singularity.
Welding Mask		When toggled down, will protect the wearer's eyes while welding.
Power Cell		Used in Robots and APCs. They are batteries which carry an electrical charge which powers whatever they are placed in. If depleted they may be recharged at either the Recharger in Engineering Storage or in an APC which is recieving power from the engine. Every APC in the station starts with a Power Cell installed and at 100% charge, and should remain that way unless the power output drops.
Plasma Tank		Its legitimate use is to put into the radiation collector arrays. It is also an essential element of bomb-making and constructing flamethrowers.
Light Tubes		Boxes of replacement lights are available in Tool Storage, EVA, Electronics, and the Janitor's closet.
Light Bulbs		Only a few areas such as the Chapel or desk lamps use regular bulbs. They can be usually found next to boxes of light tubes.
Metal Sheets		Used for many constructions. Available in Tool Storage, the Warehouse, EVA, and purchasable at the Cargo Bay. Can only be assembled in stacks of up to 50 by hand.
Glass Sheets		Used for many constructions. Available in Tool Storage, the Warehouse, EVA, and purchasable at the Cargo Bay. Can only be assembled in stacks of up to 50 by hand.
Rods		Used for many constructions. Available in Tool Storage, the Warehouse, and EVA.
Reinforced Glass		Made by combining glass and rods.
Crystal Glass		Stronger than regular glass, can only be made in a fabricator.
Reinforced Crystal Glass		Extremely strong. Can only be made in a fabricator.
Floor Tiles		Can be made from metal stacks or found in the Warehouse. Can be placed on a lattice on space to create plating, then added to plating to create regular floor.

Machinery

Item	Image	Description
Emitter		Shoots lasers that power field generators.
Field Generator		Create the field necessary for starting the Singularity Engine.
Radiation Array		Collects radiation from the Singularity and converts it into electrical power. Must be turned on to work.
SMES		The station's capacitors. The station's APCs draw power from the SMES, assuming the connection is stable. The SMES in turn draw power from sources such as the singularity engine, the solar arrays, or the furnaces. SMES must be configured for optimal use: The input must be set equal or less than the power coming in, and the output must be set to equal or less than the input. The different between output and input will build up as reserve power in case the power source is disabled (singularity comes loose, someone cuts the solars, etc.)
Power Monitoring Computer		Located in Engineering's power control room. When connected to the power grid, it will display a list of all APCs on the station and their current charge. If the SMES are set correctly, then the total power output should exceed the power load. If no APCs show up on the screen, it means a wire has been cut somewhere.
APC		The power control board for individual rooms and sectors of the station, and the last stop in the station's power grid. Each APC houses a power cell, from which it will draw power if it is not receiving power externally. The power load depends on the equipment tied to that particular APC. The APC can individually control equipment, lighting, and environmental circuits. The AI and cyborgs have an additional option on the APC to overload the lighting circuits, blowing out all lights tied to the APC.
Tank Dispenser		Dispenses oxygen tanks and plasma tanks. Found in Engineering, Toxins, and EVA.
Air Siphon		A portable gas container that can be set to either intake the local atmosphere or expel its contents. If filled with air, can be used to re-pressurize areas that have lost their atmosphere, such as recently fixed hull breaches. Can also take in or expel its contents into portable tanks, which can be attached then detached.
Air Scrubber		This portable device is meant for rapidly sucking in the local atmosphere in the event of a toxic gas leak.
