Construction

All this assumes you've figured out the game pretty well so far. You have, right?

Makin'

Weapons

Bombs

Suicide bomb vest

Despite the name, no bombs are actually involved (anymore). The payload will be triggered upon death of whoever is wearing the vest. If required, the payload can be removed with a wrench.

You will need:

 A regular ballistic vest
 A health analyzer
 An igniter
 A grenade OR beaker (Only grenades with this sprite are compatible: )
 A screwdriver
 A wrench (optional)

To build:

 Use a screwdriver on the igniter.
 Combine the igniter with the health analyzer.
 Secure the assembly with the screwdriver.
 Click on the assembly with the vest to combine them.
 If you intend to use the beaker, prepare a chemical mix of your choice.
 To attach a grenade, use it on the vest.
 To attach a beaker, click on it with the vest - not the other way around!

Rigged light tube/power cell

A rather uncommon and creative way to booby-trap machinery or whole rooms. It is not a bad idea to turn the power off before installing either of them.

You will need:

 A light tube OR power cell
 A syringe of liquid plasma

To build:

 Inject the light tube or power cell with plasma.

Pipe bomb

Not to be confused with the version traitors can order. Black powder, plasmastone or erebite can be used in place of welding fuel if available.

You will need:

 3 metal sheets
 A cable coil
 An igniter
 A timer
 A container (beaker, glass etc.) of welding fuel
 A welder
 A screwdriver

To build:

 Turn the metal sheets into a pipe frame.
 Use the welder on the frame.
 Fill the frame with welding fuel.
 Add some wires.
 Use a screwdriver on the igniter.
 Combine the igniter with the timer.
 Add the timer/igniter assembly to the pipe frame.

Mousetrap bomb

Compatible with pipe bombs (regular, Syndicate) and most grenades. They can be used as makeshift mines or to booby-trap backpacks and other containers.

You will need:

 A mousetrap
 A pipe bomb OR grenade (Only grenades with this sprite are compatible: )

To build:

 Attach the pipe bomb or grenade to the mousetrap.
 Don't forget to arm the mousetrap by clicking on it before use.

A mousetrap bomb on wheels. Once set in motion, the cart will scoot off in whichever direction you're facing and detonate the grenade upon impact with a large object or unfortunate bystander.

You will need:

 3 metal sheets
 A mousetrap bomb (grenade only)

To build:

 Turn the metal sheets into a pipe frame.
 Combine the mousetrap bomb with the pipe frame.

Single tank bomb

Also known as plasma tank assemblies. Less powerful than transfer valve bombs, but they still fit in backpacks. You'll have to discover suitable gas mixtures yourself.

You will need:

 A plasma tank
 An igniter
 A timer OR proximity sensor OR remote signaller
 A screwdriver
 A welder

To build:

 Fill the plasma tank with a gas mixture of your choice.
 Use a screwdriver on the igniter.
 Combine the igniter with the timer, proximity sensor or remote signaller.
 Secure the assembly with the screwdriver.
 Attach the assembly to the plasma tank.
 Weld a hole in the tank.

Transfer valve bomb

Big bombs for a big bang. Again, this guide won't tell you how to create the perfect explosive mix, so feel free to sign up as a scientist and mess around with the equipment in the laboratory. You should also use the mainframe and VR goggles to run simulations instead of testing your bombs on the station.

You will need:

 A tank of heated gas
 A tank filled with an explosive mixture (Tip: usually involves plasma and oxygen.)
 A tank transfer valve
 A timer OR proximity sensor OR remote signaller

To build:

 Connect the first tank to the transfer valve.

 Attach the timer, proximity sensor or remote signaller to the transfer valve.

Stun gloves

Your intent must be set to Harm in order for the gloves to work. They only hold one charge at a time.

You will need:

 A pair of insulated gloves
 A charged power cell
 A wire coil

To build:

 Add some wiring to the gloves.
 Hold the gloves in your active hand.
 Click with the gloves on the power cell.

Flamethrower

Welding fuel is a solid choice. You can also fill the tank with other reagents, so there is plenty of room for experimentation. See Chemistry for more information.

You will need:

 A welder
 One rod
 An igniter
 An air mix OR oxygen tank
 A fuel tank
 A screwdriver

To build:

 Use the screwdriver on the welder.
 Attach the rod to the welder.
 Combine the igniter with the welder/rod assembly.
 Secure the assembly with the screwdriver.
 Attach the air mix or oxygen tank to the assembly.
 Add the fuel tank to the assembly.

Zip gun

You can use different types of ammunition, of which .38 Special is easiest to obtain from a hacked general manufacturer. The zip gun holds two rounds at a time.

You will need:

 3 metal sheets
 A welder
 A staple gun

To build:

 Turn the metal sheets into a pipe frame.
 Use the welder on the frame.
 Combine the the staple gun with the frame.

In addition to stunning people like any other flash, this overcharged version also sets them on fire. Unlike a regular flash, it will only work once.

You will need:

 A flash
 A charged power cell
 A screwdriver 

To build:

 Open the flash's battery compartment with the screwdriver.
 Attach the power cell to the flash.

Miscellaneous assemblies

Timers and other basic tools may be put together as assemblies, most of which can function as bomb detonators. Not included is the health analyzer/igniter combination, a suicide bomb vest-specific trigger.

Igniter assembly

The bread-and-butter choice for most situations.

You will need:

 An igniter
 A timer OR proximity sensor OR remote signaller
 A screwdriver

To build:

 Use the screwdriver on the igniter.
 If you intend to employ a signaller, use the screwdriver on it as well.

 Secure the assembly with the screwdriver.

Signaller assembly

A standalone, proximity- or timer-activated radio. Doesn't work as an attachment, but can come in handy to remotely trigger bombs or door bolts.

You will need:

 A remote signaller
 A proximity sensor OR timer
 A screwdriver

To build:

 Use the screwdriver on the signaller.
 Attach the signaller to the proximity sensor or timer.
 Secure the assembly with the screwdriver.

Beaker assembly

These assemblies are quite popular to release chemical foam or smoke from a safe distance - for the user at least. Deadly in the hands of a skilled chemist. To detach the beaker, place the whole thing on the floor and use the context menu by right-clicking on it.

You will need:

 A beaker
 An igniter assembly
 A screwdriver

To build:

 If the assembly has been secured beforehand, undo that with the screwdriver.
 Prepare a chemical mix of your choice.

Piping

Parts for piping (the tubes used for trash disposal and mail) can be acquired from the pipe dispenser. There are six types, five of which can be dispensed:

• Straight and bent - self explanatory
• Junctions - two inputs, one side output. Has a very faint arrow denoting the output.
• Y-junctions - two inputs (facing eachother), one bottom output.
• Trunks - connect chutes to the pipe system
• Mail junctions - sorts mail, can't be dispensed

To connect a pipe properly to the tubing:

 Pull pipe in place
 Right-click to rotate/flip as needed
 Wrench
 Weld

To disconnect:

 Weld (indeed, no wrenching is needed)

Breakin'

For more, see Hacking

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

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.

Fire Alarms, Security Cameras, and Atmosphere Alarms

 Wirecutter to Break, and Fix
