| A technomancer is an antagonist whose abilities come from the core on their back and the wide variety of tools they can order before they on arrive the station. Technomancer is one of the more open-ended antagonists as far as gimmicks go, given the wide variety of playstyles at their disposal.
| |
| == Technomancer General Information ==
| |
| To begin, you spawn in wearing a large black item on your back. This is a manipulation core, or "core", which is what lets you use all your fancy abilities. Don't lose it! You're (almost) powerless without it.
| |
| You can purchase functions for your core using the catalog item which should spawn in your pocket. More on those later.
| |
|
| |
|
| There are a few things you need to keep in mind as you use your core. Firstly, your core requires energy, which should be displayed as both an icon above your internals indicator and as a number in the "Spell Core" tab on the UI.
| | Welcome to the page for the Horizon's fusion reactor, the INDRA! |
| The majority of functions require energy in order to work, and so it is important to keep an eye on how your core is doing. While all types of core regenerate energy on their own (some faster than others), you can also purchase functions that generate energy when doing a specific action. Again, more on functions later.
| | It replaced the old Tesla reactor for a variety of reasons, and comes with some neat features. |
| | Many engineers have been reprimanded for violent debate over what INDRA stands for. Some say it itself stands for INDRA, others say it stands for INDependent Reactor, Aneutronic, and others have their own name. |
| | If you're familiar with the Baystation implementation of the RUST, much if not all of the INDRA should be immediately familiar to you. |
| | Feel free to jump ahead to the [[Guide_To_The_Indra|startup procedure section.]] |
|
| |
|
| Secondly, using the powers of your core generates '''instability'''. Instability is a result of your highly-advanced core doing what it does, and given the aforementioned highly-advanced nature of the core it is poorly understood. What ''is'' understood is that instability is incredibly dangerous. Instability will grow and cling to you as you use more functions more often, with more powerful functions creating more instability per use. While the effects of instability are generally harmless at lower levels and have minor effects such as sparks or forced blinking, high levels of instability will have progressively more dangerous and deadly effects.
| | == Component Parts == |
| | The INDRA has 3 different types of machine making up the actual reactor part of the reactor equipment. Those are as follows: |
| | * The fusion core itself. This should be pretty hard to miss, as it's the giant tower in the middle that spits out a colored magnetic field when it's online. |
| | * The gyrotron. This both increases the temperature of the fusion core (to a degree) and stabilizes it once a reaction gets going. |
| | * The fuel injectors. There are six of these on either side of the fusion core. They are loaded with "fuel" rods and when activated launch particles of the inserted fuel rod in to the magnetic field of the fusion core. |
|
| |
|
| Your core will tell you your current level of instability, and instability levels can be viewed in the "Spell Core" tab, right below your core charge. Aside from that, you also have a visual indicator of instability: purplish lightning will appear around your character (or the characters of others) if instability is present. At high levels of instability, affected persons will begin to glow a dark purple - this effect spreads the instability and is highly dangerous - multiple glowing objects can create a dangerous feedback loop if not separated.
| | Now, you can't just go flipping a switch on all of these things to get them going. The control room comes with three different terminals that all control one of the above machines (or set of machines, in the case of the injectors). |
| As for how to get rid of it, you're in luck! Instability will go away on its own over time.
| | * The fusion core control terminal controls the magnetic field strength (aka the size), allows you to turn the reactor on or off, and lists the fuel particles inside the magnetic field. |
| | * The gyrotron control terminal lets you turn the gyrotron on or off or adjust the firing speed and strength of the beam. |
| | * The fuel injector control terminal allows you to turn on or off specific injectors, turn on or off all injectors, and adjust how much fuel is inserted by an injector per shot in percentage form." |
|
| |
|
| You should strive to keep your core secure. To help with this, each core comes with a locking mechanism that prevents forceful removal by a third party until it is unlocked by the wearer.
| | Finally, the room should start with two crates, one full of deuterium and one full of tritium for some fuel rods suitable for day-to-day operations. |
| Note that your core will automatically unlock if you die.
| |
| Additionally, if you do die, there is an anti-tamper mechanism installed in your core as well. If an unauthorized individual picks up your core, it will discharge large amounts of instability in to them until it is put down again.
| |
|
| |
|
| With that out of the way, it's almost time to get in to your catalog. A few things to note before you do:
| | == Reactions == |
| *A function can be thought of as a spell, that you use by activating the function then holding the pseudo-item in your hands and trying to use it on a target of your choice. This did replace the wizard game mode, after all.
| | There are a few different reactions known. |
| *Some functions can have their abilities enhanced by a special rod called the Scepter of Enhancement. If a function is able to be modified with it, it will be shown underneath the description of the function as Scepter Effect:.
| |
| *Functions can also be boosted with the core itself. A function that is able to benefit from this will have 'Spell Power:' underneath. Different Cores have different amounts of spell power.
| |
| *When a function refers to 'allies', it means you, your apprentices, currently controlled entities (with the Control function), and friendly simple-minded entities that you've summoned with the Scepter of Enhancement.
| |
| *A meter is equal to one 'tile'.
| |
| *You can refund functions, equipment items, and assistance items so long as you are in your base. After leaving, though, you can no longer refund anything. You can still buy things in your catalog if you still have points remaining. To refund functions, just click the 'Refund Functions' button on the top, when in the functions tabs. For equipment items, you need to hit it against the catalog.
| |
|
| |
|
| Finally, before we delve in to the functions category, one last note of general information: you spawn in wearing chameleon clothing, which you can customize to any appearance you desire by right clicking on it and selecting "Change (Item) Appearance". Your core can also have its appearance changed in the same way.

|
| === Technomancer Equipment ===
| |
| Now that you're in your catalog, you've got a lot of tabs looking back at you, each with a wide variety of things in them. Let's start with equipment.
| |
| <div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed">
| |
| ==== Cores ====
| |
| Your cores are the key to all of your abilities. There are a lot of options, so they're condensed down here.
| |
| <div class="mw-collapsible-content">
| |
| *Manipulation Core: You spawn with this one. It's only in the catalog so that in the event you change your mind and refund a different core you can get the default one back. The stats are as follows:
| |
| **Energy Capacity: 10k
| |
| **Energy Recharge Rate: 50/s
| |
| **Instability Modifier: 80%
| |
| **Energy Cost Modifier: 100%
| |
| **Spell Power: 100%
| |

| |
|
| |
|
| *Recycling Core: This core has a 30% chance of refunding half the energy cost of an action any time energy is spent.
| |
| **Energy Capacity: 12k
| |

| |
| **Energy Capacity: 8k
| |
| **Energy Recharge Rate: 35/s
| |
| **Instability Modifier: 120%
| |

| |
| **Energy Recharge Rate: 30/s
| |
| **Instability Modifier: 30%
| |
| **Energy Cost Modifier: 100%
| |
| **Spell Power: 70%
| |
| **Purchase Cost: 100
| |
|
| |
|

| |
| ==== Other Equipment ====
| |
| These items aren't as important as your core, but they're still very useful.
| |
| <div class="mw-collapsible-content">
| |
| *Hypo Belt
| |
| **A medical belt designed to carry autoinjectors and other medical equipment. Comes with one of each hypo. Purchase Cost: 50.
| |
|
| |
|
| *Belt of Holding
| |
| **This belt can both hold large items and more items in general. Almost essential for storage - your core doesn't function as a backpack! Purchase Cost: 50.
| |
|
| |
|
| *Thermoncle
| | {{Engineering}} |
| **A fancy monocle with a thermal optics lens installed. Allows you to see people through walls. Purchase cost: 150.
| | {{Guides}} |
| | | [[Category:Engineering]] |
| *Night Vision Goggles
| | [[Category:Guides]] |
| **Exactly what it says on the tin. Useful for sneaking around in the dark. Purchase Cost: 50.
| | [[Category:Pages]] |
| | |
| *Omnisight Scanner
| |
| **Think x-ray vision goggles and you get the picture. Very useful, but expensive. Purchase Cost: 300.
| |
| | |
| *Medical HUD
| |
| **A bog-standard medical HUD for monitoring the vitals of others. Purchase Cost: 25.
| |
| | |
| *Scepter of Empowerment
| |
| **This little staff modifies or enhances most of your core functions. To use it, you just have to hold it in one of your hands while you use a function. Purchase Cost: 200.
| |
| | |
| *Spyglass
| |
| **Look far ahead with this spyglass. Similar to binoculars, just minus one half. Purchase Cost: 100.
| |
| | |
| *Boots of Speed
| |
| **These boots both prevent you from slipping and make you run faster. Purchase Cost: 50.
| |
| | |
| *Gloves of Regeneration
| |
| **These gloves constantly feed a chemical blend into your system, greatly increasing your metabolism and therefore your healing rate. On the other hand, increasing your metabolism makes you get hungry faster, and putting the gloves on or taking them off hurts quite a bit due to their skin connection. Synthetic technomancers probably shouldn't bother, though these gloves are a bit more protective than some others. Purchase Cost: 50.
| |
| | |
| *Personal Shield Projector
| |
| **A personal shield generator. It can outright block lasers and it reduces the velocity of both bullets and close quarters attacks, lowering their damage significantly. The shield will block 75% of the damage from each hit, and removes energy from your core proportional to the amount of damage inflicted. Weapons with armor penetration have no effect on the shield. If your core runs out of power, the shield will deactivate. Purchase cost: 200.
| |
| *Tesla Armor
| |
| **This armor has a retaliation-based defense. After a moment of charging up, the armor will completely protect you from the next attack and strike the attacker with a bolt of lightning (if they are close enough). This effect requires fifteen seconds to recharge; if you are attacked during the recharging phase, a weaker bolt is sent out and the armor does not block the attack. Purchase Cost: 150.
