A copy of User:Solo03's own revamp of the Construction, with some of my own modifications. Many thanks to him for valiantly starting this noble effort.

Weapons

Stun gloves

Insulated gloves armed with a powerful shock to briefly stun whomever they touch. Your intent must be set to harm in order for this to work. Craftable stun gloves only hold one charge at a time.

Making

You will need:

 A pair of insulated gloves OR power gloves
 A charged power cell
 A cable coil

To make:

 Add some wiring to the gloves.
 Use the power cell on the gloves to charge them.

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.

Making

You will need:

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

To make:

 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.

Antique laser gun

See Guns for more information.

Making

You will need:

 An antique laser gun
 A charged power cell (small)
 A small coil
 A lens
 A cable coil
 A screwdriver
 A multitool
 A soldering iron

To make:

 Open the maintenance panel with the screwdriver.
 Add wiring.
 Install the small coil.
 Solder the coil into place.
 Install the lens.
 Use the multitool.
 Install the power cell.
 Close the maintenance panel with the screwdriver.

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.

Making

You will need:

 3 metal sheets
 A welder
 A staple gun

To make:

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

Flash/cell assembly

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.

MakingBreaking

You will need:

 A flash
 A charged power cell
 A screwdriver

To make:

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

You will need:

 A screwdriver
 A wrench

To break:

 Use the screwdriver to unscrew the access panel.
 Use the wrench to disassemble the assembly.

Poisoned surgery tools

Certain surgery tools can be dipped in up to 5 units of poison or some other reagent for fun and wacky effects upon stabbing. Tools must be recoated with each use.

Making

You will need:

 A scalpel OR saw OR enucleation spoon
 A filled container (beaker, glass etc.)

To make:

 Dip the scalpel, saw or spoon in the beaker.

Poisoned arrows

Likewise, arrows from the nano-fab can coated with up to 3 units of poison or other reagents, applying their effects upon hit.

Making

You will need:

 An arrow, obviously.
 A filled container (beaker, glass etc.)

To make:

 Dip the arrow into the container.

Broken bottle

A passable melee weapon that makes a decent, better-than-average throwing weapon.

Making

You will need:

 A bottle, obviously.
 A table to break the bottle upon.

To make:

 Make sure you're on Harm intent.
 Use the bottle on the table.

It might take a few attempts/bottles. By default, there's a 25% chance you'll successfully break the bottle; if you're drunk and/or if you're the Barman, you're more likely to succeed. If you fail, reality will ensue, and the bottle will smash into a slightly less useful glass shard. If you're especially unlucky, the broken glass may cut your hand and make you bleed.

Bombs

Detonator assemblies

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

Igniter assembly

The bread-and-butter choice for most situations.

Making

You will need:

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

To make:

 Use the screwdriver on the igniter.
 If you intend to employ a signaller, use the screwdriver on it as well.
 Combine the igniter with the timer, proximity sensor or signaller.
 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. The bike horn assembly is only useful for noise pollution, though.

Making

You will need:

 A remote signaller
 A proximity sensor OR timer OR bike horn
 A screwdriver

To make:

 Use the screwdriver on the signaller (not required for horn assembly).
 Attach the signaller to the proximity sensor, timer or bike horn.
 Secure the assembly with the screwdriver (not required for horn assembly).

Beaker assembly

These assemblies are quite popular to release chemical smoke from a safe distance - for the user at least. Deadly in the hands of a skilled chemist. When triggered, the igniter will heat the mixture by 30 K (see ignition temperatures). To detach the beaker, place the whole thing on the floor and use the context menu by right-clicking on it.

Making

You will need:

 A beaker
 An igniter assembly
 A screwdriver

To make:

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

Chemical grenade

The starter kit generally can't be acquired without a traitor scientist's PDA. See Murder for more information.

Note: You can't retrieve the beakers after securing the grenade, so make sure your chemical mix works beforehand!

Making

You will need:

 A grenade starter kit
 Up to 2 beakers
 A screwdriver

To make:

 Add the fuse to the grenade casing.
 Prepare a chemical mix of your choice.
 Add the beaker(s) to the unsecured grenade.
 Secure it with the screwdriver.

Chemical grenade assembly

Combines the advantages of chem grenades (two beakers) with the versatility of beaker assemblies.

Making

You will need:

 A chemical grenade (Anything that looks like this: )
 An igniter assembly

To make:

 Combine the igniter assembly with the chem grenade.

Butt bomb

Harmless prank. Works like a grenade.

Making

You will need:

 A butt
 A timer

To make:

 Add the timer to the butt.

Suicide bomb vest

The payload will be triggered upon death of whoever is wearing the vest, heating the mixture inside the beaker by 30 K (see ignition temperatures) when so equipped. If required, the payload can be removed and the entire suit taken apart with a wrench.

Making

You will need:

 A regular ballistic vest
 A health analyzer
 An igniter
 A grenade OR a pipe bomb OR a beaker
 A screwdriver
 A wrench (optional)

To make:

 Use a screwdriver on the igniter.
 Combine the igniter with the health analyzer.
 Secure the assembly with the screwdriver.
 Combine the assembly with the vest.
 If you intend to use the beaker, prepare a chemical mix of your choice.
 Attach the payload to the vest.

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.

Making

You will need:

 A light tube OR a power cell
 A syringe of plasma from a chemical dispenser

To make:

 Inject the light tube or power cell with plasma.

Pipe bomb

Not to be confused with the version traitors can order. Other materials can be used in place of welding fuel if available. Ordered by explosive power: phlogiston dust, phlogiston, CLF3, or black powder. Plasmastone and erebite work differently in that they are crafted from custom metal sheets, then combined with one of the listed reagents. A small variety of items can also be shoved into one or both of the pipe bomb's two pipes to add a special effect to the detonation. If you shove two of the same item inside a pipe bomb, the item's effect will be boosted.

Making

You will need:

 3 metal sheets
 A cable coil
 An igniter
 A timer OR a proximity sensor OR a remote signaller
 A container (beaker, glass etc.) of welding fuel (20 units)
 A welder
 A screwdriver
 (Optional: one or two additional items.)

To make:

 Turn the metal sheets into a pipe frame. 
 Use the welder on the frame. 
 Optionally, stuff the extra item(s) in the hollow frame (note: you cannot do this once the frame is filled!). 
 Fill the frame with welding fuel.
 Add some wires.
 Use a screwdriver on the igniter.
 If you intend to employ a signaller, use the screwdriver on it as well.
 Combine the igniter with the timer, the proximity sensor, or the signaller.
 Add the igniter assembly to the pipe frame.

Some possible extra items to add:

 Metal scrap
 Glass shards
 Butter
 Cloth
 Instruments
 Butts
 Glowsticks
 Paper
 Ectoplasm
 Meat
 Telecrystals
 RCD cartridges
 Cable coils
 Power cells (only works in combination with aforementioned cable coils)
 Medical patch boxes
 Gold star boxes
 Assorted sticker boxes

And the great thing is, if the extra item isn't coded to have a special effect, it simply won't be added to the bomb. That is, if the item you're adding does go in, you know something special will happen!

Mousetrap bomb

Compatible with pipe bombs (regular, Syndicate) and grenades. They can be used as makeshift mines or to booby-trap backpacks and other containers. Can be taken apart with a wrench if required.

Making

You will need:

 A mousetrap
 A pipe bomb OR grenade
 A wrench (optional)

To make:

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

Mousetrap car

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. Can be taken apart with a wrench if required.

Making

You will need:

 3 metal sheets
 A mousetrap bomb (grenade or pipe bomb only)
 A wrench (optional)

To make:

 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.

Making

You will need:

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

To make:

 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 can replace one of the tanks with a butt to build a mostly harmless gimmick bomb.

Making

You will need:

 A tank of heated gas (plasma)
 A tank of reactive gas (oxygen) OR a butt
 A tank transfer valve
 A timer OR proximity sensor OR remote signaller

To make:

 Connect the first tank to the transfer valve.
 Connect the second tank (or the butt) to the transfer valve.
 Attach the timer, proximity sensor or remote signaller to the transfer valve.

Canister bomb

Massive bombs. As usual, the gas mixture is not revealed, only the assembly process.

BIG FUCKING WARNING NOTE: These bombs are no joke. The amount of hull they can take out of the station has the potential to warrant an Emergency Shuttle call, so if you're not an antagonist and seek to build a canister bomb for whatever reason, run it by the admins first with adminhelp, or detonate them somewhere away from it like the debris field, although you'll still want to inform people about it.

Making

You will need:

 A canister full of an explosive gas mixture.
 A plasma tank filled to at least 700 kPa of pure plasma.
 A timer
 An igniter
 A cable coil
 A screwdriver
 A multitool
 A station bounced radio (optional) - Creates a command report upon priming.
 A remote signaller (optional)
 A crowbar (optional)
 A pair of wirecutters (optional)
 Suitable attachment class items (optional, see list below)

To make:

 Use the screwdriver to unsecure the igniter.
 Add the multitool to the igniter.
 Add the plasma tank to the assembly.
 Secure the assembly with a screwdriver.
 Use the cable coil on the assembly.
 Add the timer to the assembly.
 Optionally, add the station bounced radio to your assembly.
 Optionally, add a remote signalling device to your assembly.
 Optionally, add up to three attachment class items to your assembly.
 Use the assembly on the canister.

The detonator assembly may have up to 3 attachment class items. Each attachment adds an additional wire to the assembly, each having a unique effect. You may have more than one of any type of attachment.

 An analyzer (Detonates the bomb if the gas is leaking from the canister.)
 A power cell (Adds an additional detonation wire.)
 A flash (Occasionally flashes nearby people.)
 A sheet of paper and a pen (Adds a note to the canister bomb interface.)
 A bike horn (Self-explanatory.)
 A vuvuzela. (Ditto.)

Detonators may be disassembled if necessary. A screwdriver is required to unscrew and a crowbar is required to pry out the plasma tank, and everything else can be cut apart with the wirecutters. Attachments may be removed from the assembly with a screwdriver.

 Finally, use the screwdriver on it again.

Microwaves

MakingFixingBreaking

Microwaves can be scanned using the Mechanics. The trick is to scan it while it's in operation, so you don't accidentally microwave your analyzer.

If the microwave is just dirty ( ), use a spray bottle of space cleaner. A completely broken unit has to be fixed with some tools.

You will need:

 A screwdriver
 A wrench

To fix:

 Use the screwdriver on the microwave.
 Finish the job with a wrench.

You will need:

Any item that's not a food item.

To break:

Insert item of choice into microwave.
Turn the microwave on.

Manufacturers

MakingFixingBreaking

While they can't quite be constructed, all manufacturers can be replicated with the equipment in the Mechanics Workshop. See the relevant Mechanic section for more.

You will need:

  A screwdriver
  A welder OR cable coil

To fix:

  Open the maintenance panel with the screwdriver.
  Depending on the severity of the damage, use the welder (light) or cable coil (heavy).
  Use the screwdriver again to close the panel.

Keep in mind that completely dismantled fabricators can't be replaced without the help of electronics!

Cloning Lab

Making

So you want to create a new cloning lab for completely legitimate purposes? You will need to use a combination of mechanic skills and tools in addition to raw materials.

We are going to be using some information from other places to do this, namely console construction as well as the device analyzer and its related processes

You will need:

 5 metal sheets
 2 glass sheets
 A cable coil
 A wrench
 A screwdriver
 One circuit board (Cloning specifically, usually only one spare available in tech storage)
 A device analyzer
 A soldering iron
 Access to mechanics, cloning and tech storage

To begin:

 Use the device analyzer on the cloning pod, the enzymatic reclaimer and the cloning scanner pod
 Once all three are scanned, click the ruckingenur kit in mechanics with the scanner used
 Use the ruckingenur kit to create a blueprint for each of the three
 Put each blueprint into the reverse-engineering fabricator
 From the reverse-engineering fabricator make a deployable box frame for each of the three scanned objects.
 Find a suitable location and plan your deployment of machinery. 
 IMPORTANT - Each piece of peripheral machinery must be directly adjacent to the cloning console you will be creating. Diagonal adjacency qualifies as well. Think carefully about how people will be moving around your new cloning lab, and which devices they may need to enter, exit and move around.
 Place the individual box frames on the ground in their final positions and use the soldering iron on them.

To create the final piece, the cloning console:

 Click on the metal sheet in your hand and choose 'Console frame'.
 Wrench the frame into place.
 Insert the cloning circuit board.
 Use the screwdriver.
 Add wires, this will require a couple of clicks.
 Use the glass on the frame, this will require a couple of clicks.
 Connect the monitor with the screwdriver.

In the event that you constructed the console first, simply use a screwdriver on it to remove the glass, then apply new glass and use the screwdriver again to have it reboot to detect the peripheral devices.

If this is constructed in an existing area of station that is governed by a nearby APC, then the devices you have constructed will be reliant on that status of that APC. Direct wiring to the console or devices is not necessary.

Walls, Doors, and Floors

Airlocks

MakingBreaking

While they can't quite be constructed, airlocks can be replicated with the equipment in the Mechanics Workshop. Replicas will usually retain access restrictions of the original airlock. See the relevant Mechanic section for more.

Airlocks can be busted down with a good source of blunt damage and some patience. They can also be hacked to the point of being non-functional.

Walls

While a variety of materials may be used to create sheets and rods, different materials can't be used interchangeably within the same construction project. For example, it's impossible to add mauxite plating to a steel girder.

While you're usually making walls with steel and mauxite, you can make walls just about any kind of metal or crystal, so long as you get it into sheet form. Glass walls are especially useful, since they provide a view but can't be easily destroyed and are often stronger than windows.

Entire Rooms

ABC-Us and blueprint markers can be found in the Cold Loop on Cogmap2 and the Warehouse areas of other maps. You don't need to replicate entire rooms. You can pick a section of it or multiple sections to create different rooms. The blueprint marker can create multiple blueprints before running out of energy. This way you can pick all the pieces you want in advance and put them together in a new configuration. Remember to save them with their own names so you don't get them mixed.

You will need:

ABC-U (Automated Blueprint Construction Unit)
Blueprint marker
Metal and glass sheets (usually a few hundred!)

To make:

Select tiles using blueprint marker.
Print a blueprint from the marker and put it in the ABC-U. (If you can no longer print the blueprint from that specific blueprint marker, save the blueprint. You will then be able to print it from other markers.)
Check the material cost on the ABC-U and load accordingly.
Drag the ABC-U in position, lock it down and make it start building.

Note: ABC-Us can only make new rooms on space tiles, so having EVA equipment is a must.

Miscellaneous

Disposal pipes

Like most things in Space Station 13, the plumbing system is surprisingly deep. A skilled space plumber can set you up for a wild ride that'll send you racing through most of the station and spit you out from a mailbox. Now you can be that skilled plumber.

The building blocks

There's a few pipe dispensers scattered around the station. The most easily accessible one can be found in disposals, and Engineering has a mobile version that makes pipe laying a breeze. Pipes come in 8 variations, 5 of which the dispensers will provide:

Straight - Straight tube.
Bent - Tube bent at a 90 degree angle.
Junction - A three-way junction. The arrow indicates where items exit.
Y-junction - A three-way junction with another exit point.
Trunk - Entry and exit point for pipes. Disposal and mail chutes come pre-connected to these, but players can't connect on their own.
Mail-junction - Not available from the dispenser. A three-way junction with a filter that only allows items to pass through. People and creatures will be diverted away into the side-pipe. Visually distinguished from regular junctions by a red dot on the pipe.
Controlled pipe segments - Specialized equipment available to mechanics.

Managing your pipes

Pipes come in four states:

Free - Can be moved, rotated and flipped over by right-clicking on them.
Wrenched - Wrenched to the floor. Immobile and inoperable. You can walk over them and rotate them.
Welded - Welded to the floor. Immobile and can't be rotated. Fully operable.
Broken - Welded to the floor. Inoperable. Must be welded at all ends to remove.

You need three tools. A crowbar to remove the tiles covering the floor. This exposes existing pipes and lets you place new pipes. A wrench to fasten free pipes. A welding tool to make wrenched pipes operable or to loosen welded pipes.

Controlling the flow

Take these tips to heart and you'll be a plumbing like a champion in no time.

• T-ray scanners show you pipes hidden under floor tiles.
• Always wrench the pipe in place before welding it. Poorly secured pipes will break the floor tile covering it and fall out of place.
• Items will follow the pipeline from chute to exit point as long as every piece is connected, nothing is broken and there's no blockage.
• Items entering a junction from the wrong end (the side with the exit arrow), will randomly go out one of the two other sides.
• Fat people are poorly suited for pipes and can easily create a blockage. Blockages can be cleared by unwelding the blocked section.
• Pipelines ending in a regular pipe will shoot things out in a straight line. Trunks eject items in random directions.
• Combine with programmable electronics components to make some truly wild rides.
