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'

You will need:

 5 sheets of metal
 2 sheets of glass
 5 pieces of wire
 wrench

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.

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
 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

 Screwdriver
 Welder
 Crowbar

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

Pipe Filters

 Screwdriver
 Use wire on filter.  It takes four wire segments to hack the filter.
