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.
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. Using it on exposed wiring will report how much (if any) current is passing through.
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. Also known as an analyser in space stations across the pond.
Device Analyzer		Scans the machine and allows you to build copies via the handy-dandy blueprint generator! Follow the directions and wall off escape with gambling machines
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.
Welding Mask		When toggled down, will protect the wearer's eyes while welding.
Hard Hat		Comes with built in flashlight. Protects head, somewhat.
Power Cell	File:Powercell.png	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		Contains (surprise!) plasma. Used in the construction of flamethrowers and bombs.
Light Tubes	File:Ltube.png	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.
Reinforced Metal Sheets		Made from metal sheets and fabricators.
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.
Reinforced Glass Sheets		Made from adding rods to glass or from a fabricator.
Rods		Used for many constructions. Available in Tool Storage, the Warehouse, and EVA.
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.
Jetpack		Works like a regular oxygen tank, but lets you fly in space! Moving in space will suck up your O2 reserves so try not to get lost. The flying function has to be toggled on or off. The O2 in these can be topped off using a large O2 canister. Putting regular air inside it will make it stop working. You must set the jetpack's oxygen supply in the exact same way you would set an oxygen tank. With a gas mask or breath mask equipped, click on the jetpack and activate it. The pressure can be set as low as 17, any lower and you will suffocate. Right-click the jetpack and select 'toggle jetpack' to actually turn it on and start exploring space. Can be found on the Mining Outpost and at EVA.

Machinery

Item	Image	Description
Engine Output Monitoring Computer		Located in Engineering's power control room, wired in between the engine and the SMES. Displays the output from the engine, and how much the SMESs draw.
Solar Panel Control		Shows orientation and power output from connected solars. Sits between the solar panels and their associated SMES. Can be used to manually set the rotation of the solars, but that's rarely necessary.
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 engine, 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.
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.
Furnaces		A primitive back-up power system. The furnaces burn char to provide energy, around 5000W per furnace. The char must first be loaded, then the furnace turned on. It'll stay on until it runs out of fuel. On the main station it's mildly useful to heat the engine's hot loop, but furnaces are the only source of power on the Mining Outpost. The furnace can also accept.. alternate fuel sources. Furnaces can also be used as a source of heat for the engine.
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.
Space Heater		Slowly heats up the surrounding area, good for after a hull breach sucks all the warm air from a room. Can be found in various nooks and crannies in maintenance.
Experimental Local Generator		Sounding a lot cooler than it actually is, this is basically a portable cell charger that needs a plasma tank to work and costs the Quartermaster a fortune to buy. It doesn't actually interface with the power grid at all.
