===[[File:Rods.png]] Metal Rods=== | |||
Rods are equally as useful as steel. They are used to make a wide variety of useful items that are commonly used around the vessel. | |||
To make metal rods: | |||
#Use[[File:Metal.png]]steel in your active hand to open the construction menu. | |||
#Select “construction recipes” | |||
#Select “metal rod” | |||
From there, use the metal rods as needed. They have their own construction menu as well. | |||
== | To deconstruct metal rods: | ||
*Click on the stack of rods with a [[File:Welderon.gif]] welder. | |||
===[[File:Floor_tile.png]] Floor tiles=== | |||
As the name implies, these are used to cover plating with tiles that are nicer to look at. | |||
To make floor tiles: | |||
#Use [[File:Metal.png]] steel in your active hand to open the construction menu. | |||
#Select “construction recipes” | |||
#Select either “regular floor tile” or “full regular floor tile”. The difference is looks, primarily. | |||
#Floor tiles '''CANNOT''' be deconstructed after they are made. Make sure to not make too much! | |||
===[[File:Glass_r.png]]Reinforced Glass=== | |||
Reinforced glass is used in almost the exact same way as standard glass, however it is stronger and is typically the only form of glass used on ship (aside from broscillate glass). | |||
To make reinforced glass: | |||
*Use a stack of [[File:Rods.png]] rods on [[File:Glass.png]] glass. | |||
*Reinforced glass '''CANNOT''' be separated back into [[File:Rods.png]] metal rods and [[File:Glass.png]] glass after it is made. | |||

<div class="mw-collapsible-content"> | |||
===[[File:Lattice.png]] Lattice=== | |||
Lattices are the most basic form of support. They are just collections of rods connected together that allow you to stand. You can move down through lattices, although this comes at the cost of not being airtight. | |||
To construct a lattice: | |||
*Use [[File:Rods.png]] rods on open space. | |||
* Use | |||
To deconstruct a lattice: | |||
*Use a[[File:Welderon.gif]] welder on the [[File:Lattice.png]] lattice to cut it back into [[File:Rods.png]] rods. | |||
===[[File:Plating.png]] Plating=== | |||
* Use a [[File: | Plating is the bare minimum for airtight flooring. Similar to [[File:Lattice.png]] lattices, you can stand on plating, however you cannot move down unlike lattices. Plating is airtight, however. | ||
To construct plating: | |||
*Use [[File:Floor_tile.png]] floor tiles on a [[File:Lattice.png]] lattice. | |||
To deconstruct plating: | |||
*Unfortunately, the only way to remove plating is via an RCD, which can either be found, purchased from a [[Merchant]], or the RCD that the [[Chief Engineer]] spawns with. | |||
===Floors=== | |||
Every kind of flooring is constructed in the same way: | |||
#Create floor tiles using their respective material, as shown [[#Materials|before]]. | |||
#Use the floor tiles on bare [[File:Plating.png]] plating. | |||
While the way of placing flooring is the same, the process of removing it is different for different types of flooring. | |||
Note that typically, removing flooring will give back one tile of that piece of flooring. If the floor is too damaged, however, no tiles will be returned. | |||
*[[File:Floor.png]] Steel floors: [[File:Crowbar.png]] Crowbar | |||
*[[File:WoodFloor.png]] Wood floors: [[File:Screwdriver_tool.png]] Screwdriver | |||
*[[File:Enginefloor.png]] Reinforced floors: [[File:Wrench.png]] Wrench | |||
If you are unsure how to remove a certain type of flooring, just examine the floor. Towards the bottom of the examine message, the required tool will be listed. | |||

===[[File:Wall_reinforced.png]] Reinforced Wall=== | |||
<div class="mw-collapsible-content"> | |||
The reinforced wall is much like the standard wall. The primary difference, aside from looks, is that the reinforced wall is sturdier and can take more damage, and also takes longer to deconstruct. | |||

<div class="mw-collapsible-content"> | |||
A grille is a pattern of overlapping metal rods. They are most commonly used in a role similar to fencing, protecting external parts of the vessel that need to be exposed to the void but also need to be physically protected. Light and atmosphere can pass through grilles, however physical objects cannot. | |||
To construct a grille: | |||
*Use [[File:Rods.png]] rods in hand. | |||

=== [[File:lightfixture.gif]] Light Fixture=== | |||
<div class="mw-collapsible-content"> | |||
Light Fixtures are one of few ways to light up the vessel's numerous halls and rooms. Light fixtures connect to the APC of the room they are within and remain on so long as a connected light switch is on, although keep in mind that new light switches CANNOT be made. Each light fixture is capable of three light levels: Off, night lighting, and full-brightness. Alongside this, light fixtures can accept a wide variety of light tubes from colored lights to plain lights. Keep them handy in case a virus shatters all of the light tubes! | |||

=== [[File:Gravity_activated.gif|32px]] Gravity Generator=== | |||
<div class="mw-collapsible-content"> | |||
Gravity Generators are some of the most useful and complex pieces of machinery on any vessel. They are the sole reason, aside from magboots, that anyone is capable of walking on a vessel as well as having objects and processes replicate those of a planet. There is usually just one on each vessel, but these very delicate devices are vital to standard operations and should be well-maintained and powered. While some disturbances may happen that lead to the temporary suspension of gravity, these devices will keep running as long as they are powered and working. | |||
To REPAIR a gravity generator: | |||
*Before starting, put on a radiation suit in case the generator outputs radiation during repairs. | |||
*Use a [[File:Crowbar.png]] crowbar to pry open the back panel. | |||
*Use a [[File:Screwdriver_tool.png]] screwdriver to secure the screws on the framework. | |||

Materials
A selection of materials made from base construction materials.
Metal Rods
Rods are equally as useful as steel. They are used to make a wide variety of useful items that are commonly used around the vessel.
To make metal rods:
- Usesteel in your active hand to open the construction menu.
- Select “construction recipes”
- Select “metal rod”
From there, use the metal rods as needed. They have their own construction menu as well.
To deconstruct metal rods:
Floor tiles
As the name implies, these are used to cover plating with tiles that are nicer to look at.
To make floor tiles:
- Use steel in your active hand to open the construction menu.
- Select “construction recipes”
- Select either “regular floor tile” or “full regular floor tile”. The difference is looks, primarily.
- Floor tiles CANNOT be deconstructed after they are made. Make sure to not make too much!
Reinforced Glass
Reinforced glass is used in almost the exact same way as standard glass, however it is stronger and is typically the only form of glass used on ship (aside from broscillate glass).
To make reinforced glass:
Flooring and Support
The what and how that keeps you grounded.
Lattice
Lattices are the most basic form of support. They are just collections of rods connected together that allow you to stand. You can move down through lattices, although this comes at the cost of not being airtight.
To construct a lattice:
To deconstruct a lattice:
Plating
Plating is the bare minimum for airtight flooring. Similar to lattices, you can stand on plating, however you cannot move down unlike lattices. Plating is airtight, however.
To construct plating:
To deconstruct plating:
- Unfortunately, the only way to remove plating is via an RCD, which can either be found, purchased from a Merchant, or the RCD that the Chief Engineer spawns with.
Floors
Every kind of flooring is constructed in the same way:
- Create floor tiles using their respective material, as shown before.
- Use the floor tiles on bare plating.
While the way of placing flooring is the same, the process of removing it is different for different types of flooring. Note that typically, removing flooring will give back one tile of that piece of flooring. If the floor is too damaged, however, no tiles will be returned.
If you are unsure how to remove a certain type of flooring, just examine the floor. Towards the bottom of the examine message, the required tool will be listed.
Walls and Structures
Rated the best way to hold an atmosphere by 9 out of 10 Atmospheric Technicians!
Wall
This is a standard steel wall. It prevents passage, blocks vision, and can contain atmosphere within a room.
To make a steel wall:
- Stand in the desired location of the wall.
- Use steel in your active hand.
- Select "construction recipes"
- Select "wall girders"
- Use at least 2 sheets of steel on the girders.
A wall can be damaged in numerous ways. To repair a wall:
To deconstruct a wall:
Reinforced Wall
The reinforced wall is much like the standard wall. The primary difference, aside from looks, is that the reinforced wall is sturdier and can take more damage, and also takes longer to deconstruct.
To make a reinforced wall:
- Make a wall girder as described above.
- Use a screwdriver on the girders.
- Use plasteel to reinforce the girder.
- Use plasteel again to reinforce the wall again and finish the wall.
To repair a reinforced wall, use the same method as a standard wall.
To deconstruct a reinforced wall:
- Use wirecutters to cut the outer grille.
- Use a screwdriver to expose the reinforced cover.
- Use a welder to cut the reinforced cover.
- Use a crowbar to remove the reinforced cover.
- Use a wrench to loosen the support rods.
- Use a welder to cut the support rods.
- Use a crowbar to remove the inner cover.
- Use a screwdriver to unsecure the inner supports.
- Use wirecutters to cut the inner supports.
- Use a wrench to disassemble the girder.
Grille
A grille is a pattern of overlapping metal rods. They are most commonly used in a role similar to fencing, protecting external parts of the vessel that need to be exposed to the void but also need to be physically protected. Light and atmosphere can pass through grilles, however physical objects cannot.
To construct a grille:
Grilles cannot be repaired, and deconstructing them is as easy as constructing them.
To deconstruct grilles:
False walls
False walls look and act like normal walls in every way except they can be opened when someone pushes on them. Useful for making secret hideouts or being an overachiever.
To construct a false wall:
- Make a wall girder as shown above.
- Use a crowbar to displace the girder.
- Use steel to finish the wall.
To construct a 'reinforced' false wall:
- Make a wall girder as shown above.
- Use a screwdriver on the girder.
- Use a wrench to displace the girder.
- Use plasteel to reinforce the girder.
- Use plasteel on the girder again to add the external cover.
Deconstructing false walls uses the same method as their normal versions.
Windows
Like a wall, but weaker and see through. Look at those pretty stars!
Glass Panel
A glass panel is as it appears, a thin sheet of glass that faces one direction. They are useful as dividers within a room but are weak and not generally used beyond that role. They can hold an atmosphere, although glass panels should never be relied on for that.
To construct a glass panel:
- Use either normal glass or reinforced glass in your active hand.
- Face the desired direction for the glass panel.
- Click "one direction"
- If the panel is facing the wrong direction, right-click and select rotate or alt-click on the panel to change its direction.
- Use a screwdriver to fasten the panel down.
Alternatively:
- Use either standard glass or reinforced glass on a grille.
- Right-click and select rotate or alt-click the panel until it is facing the correct direction.
- Use a screwdriver to fasten the panel down.
To deconstruct a glass panel:
Alternatively:
- Use an object to smash the panel.
Windoor
Windoors are similar in size to a glass panel except they can open and close like an airlock. They are very useful for smaller areas where an airlock may too large, or as a way to keep an area open while still have ID restrictions on certain spaces, like the medical lobby. They are best used alongside glass panels.
To construct a windoor:
- Use reinforced glass in your hand. A windoor can only be made with reinforced glass.
- Click on "windoor" while facing the desired direction of the door.
- Use a wrench to secure the windoor frame.
- Use rods to make a 'secure windoor'
- Use cable coil to wire the windoor.
- Insert a airlock control circuit.
- Use a crowbar to secure the electronics and engage the windoor.
To deconstruct a windoor:
- Hit the windoor with a blunt or sharp object, or a welder until it shatters.
Window
Windows are the second most common structure type. They act like walls in that they can hold an atmosphere and take effort to deconstruct. However, unlike walls, windows allow lasers to pass through and hit anything on the other side.
To construct a window:
- Use steel in your active hand.
- Click on "construction recipes"
- Select "steel window frame"
- Use either reinforced glass or reinforced broscillate glass (the latter is stronger) on the frame.
- Use a crowbar to fit the window into place.
To deconstruct a window:
Furniture
Reminder that interior decoration is not a required skill for engineers.
Chairs
Chairs are perhaps one of the more useful pieces of furniture around and are easy to make. Why grab a chair when you can make it?
To construct a chair:
- Use a material in your active hand, this is most commonly wood or steel.
- Select "generic construction"
- Select "(Material name) chair"
There are other types of chairs that can be made as well. Steel can make office chairs and padded chairs alongside the standard chair from above.
To construct office chairs and padded chairs:
- Use steel in your active hand.
- Select "miscellaneous construction"
- Select either "dark office chair", "light office chair", or "plain padded chair"
- Similar to the office and padded chair, steel can also make sofas. Sofas, unlike chairs, have different parts allowing you to make as long or short of a sofa as you want.
- Within the "miscellaneous construction" menu, you can select the left, right, middle, and corner sofa options to make a sofa of any length.
- Both padded chairs and sofas are constructed without padding. To add padding (and color) to both, use either leather, cloth, or carpet on the chair or sofa.
To deconstruct a chair:
Table
Tables are a common piece of furniture that allows items to be set down. Tables can also be flipped over as improvised pieces of cover.
The following list of materials can be used to create a table:
To construct a table:
- Use steel in your active hand.
- Click on "construction recipes"
- Select "table frame"
- Use your desired material on the frame.
To deconstruct a table:
Tables can also be reinforced.
To construct a reinforced table:
- Follow the same steps for a normal table.
- Click and drag the reinforcing material onto the table.
To deconstruct a reinforced table:
Machinery and Electronics
Batteries not included.
APC
Area Power Controllers (APC) are what powers each room around the vessel. Every piece of machinery from guns to newsreaders and even doors pull power from APCs. In turn, APCs draw power from the vessel's power grid. These are most often where electrical issues lie, whether they be a virus that blue-screens the controller to an imbalance if input-output.
To construct an APC:
- Use steel in your active hand.
- Select "construction recipes"
- Select "apc frame"
- Use the APC frame on the desired wall.
- Use cable coil to wire the APC to the electrical grid.
- Important: Green wires are used for 'department' grids which connect to the associated department sub station. Red wires are the 'main' grid which connects to the engine. Always connect APCs to the green department grid unless it is an emergency.
- Fit a power control board into the frame.
- Use a screwdriver to secure the electronics.
- Insert a power cell into the frame.
- Use a crowbar to shut the cover and finish the APC.
- Note: New APCs start with a locked cover and with the main breaker off. Use your ID to unlock the interface and cover.
- Another note: APCs can only be built where there is a defined Vessel Area that does not already have an APC. To make a new Vessel Area, use the Chief Engineer's blueprints.
To deconstruct the APC while it is broken:
- Use a welder to cut open the broken cover.
- Pull out the with a free hand.
- Use a crowbar to pry out the broken electronics.
- Use a crowbar again to remove the flooring beneath the APC.
- Use wirecutters to disconnect the APC terminal.
- Use a welder to clear off the broken frame.
If the APC is NOT broken:
- Use an ID to unlock the APC and its cover.
- Use a crowbar to pry open the cover.
- Pull out the power cell with an open hand.
- Use a screwdriver to remove the electronics.
- Use a crowbar to remove the flooring beneath the APC.
- Use wirecutters to disconnect the APC terminal.
- Use a crowbar to pry out the power control board.
- Use a welder to cut apart the APC frame.
Air Alarm
Air Alarms are the main devices which manage the vessel's atmosphere. These useful machines check room's atmospheric contents for any harmful gases or for the lack of oxygen. They control the vents and scrubbers in each room as well. They can only work in designated areas, however, so keep that in mind when making new ones.
To construct an air alarm:
- Use steel in your active hand.
- Select "construction recipes"
- Select "air alarm frame"
- Use the frame on whichever wall surface you would like.
- Fit in the circuit board into the frame.
- Use cable coil to wire the frame.
- Use a screwdriver to close the frame.
To deconstruct:
- Use a Screwdriver to open the cover.
- Interact with the air alarm using an empty hand and cut all wires using wirecutters.
- Cut the remaining wires by using wirecutters on the air alarm.
- Use a crowbar to remove the circuit board.
- Use a wrench to remove the frame from the wall.
- Use a wrench to turn the frame into steel.
Fire Alarm
Fire Alarms are simple but useful devices. These devices monitor an area for a fire and, when a fire is detected, shut all emergency shutters in the area to contain the flames. These alarms can be manually triggered or reset as well which is commonly used to block line of sight with Space Carp to avoid structural damage to windows.
To construct a fire alarm:
- Use steel in your active hand.
- Select "construction recipes"
- Select "fire alarm frame"
- Place the frame onto a wall.
- Insert the fire alarm circuit board.

Airlock
Airlocks are the most basic door on any space-faring vessel. They can hold an atmosphere, lock, shock, and link to the ship's systems allowing an AI or bound robot to open them remotely. Airlocks can also have their access restricted to a select range of access levels, and even have no restrictions going one direction and restricted access going to other. Make sure you know how to change these settings!
To construct an airlock:
- Stand in the desired location of the airlock.
- Use steel in your active hand.
- Select "airlock assemblies"
- Select desired airlock type.
- Note: The emergency shutter is NOT a standard airlock. It will only connect to the fire alarms and air alarms and cannot be controlled like a standard airlock.
- Use a wrench to secure the frame into place.
- Use a pen to name the airlock, if desired.
- Use reinforced glass on the frame to insert glass panels, if desired.
- Use cable coil to wire the frame.
- Insert a airlock board into the frame.
- Note: To change access requirements, use your ID on the airlock circuit board, then interact with it in your active hand.
- Use a screwdriver to close the maintenance panel.
To deconstruct a BROKEN airlock:
- Use wirecutters to remove the airlock's wiring.
- Use a welder to weld the airlock closed.
- Use a welder again to cut the airlock bolts.
- Use a crowbar to pry out the airlock electronics.
- Use wirecutters to cut out the wiring.
- If there is glass, use a welder to cut out the glass panels.
- Use a wrench to unsecure the airlock frame.
- Use a welder to cut the frame back into steel.
To deconstruct a NON-BROKEN airlock:
- Use a screwdriver to open the maintenance panel.
- Use wirecutters to disable everything.
- Use a welder to weld the door shut.
- Use a crowbar to pry out the electronics.
- Use wirecutters to remove the wiring.
- Optionally, use a welder to cut out glass panels.
- Use a wrench to unsecure the frame.
- Use a welder to cut the frame back into steel.
To deconstruct an airlock shorted by a cryptographic sequencer, skip immediately to using a crowbar to pry out the electronics.
Camera
Camera's are the watchful eyes of the vessel. In standard operation, it is the only system through which the AI can see the vessel and its crew. In certain circumstances, it is a way which Security can help secure areas and watch hostile actors. They are also one of three systems that can cause an alarm for Engineers.
To repair a camera:
- Use a screwdriver to open the frame
- Use a welder to repair the frame
- Use a screwdriver to close the frame
- Select which direction the camera should be mounted
- Enter which networks the camera should be connected to
- By default, both the direction and networks are set correctly. HOWEVER, make sure to remove the CAMERA ALARM network before closing the prompt
Computer
Modular Computers are the silent workhorses for most jobs on the vessel. They are capable of running a wide range of programs from alarm monitors to warrant systems. Every department uses modular computers to some extent, so it is useful to know how to construct and deconstruct them. Just try not to take over the Tech Support's job!
To construct a modular computer:
- Stand in the desired spot of the computer.
- Use steel in your active hand.
- Select "construction recipes"
- Select "computer frame"
- Use a wrench to bolt the frame in place.
- Insert the desired circuit board into the frame.
- Some computers have specific circuit boards that dictate their function. Make sure you choose the right one!
- Use a screwdriver to secure the electronics.
- Use cable coil to wire the frame.
- Add glass to the computer.
- Use a screwdriver to connect the monitor and finish the computer.
To deconstruct a modular computer:
Light Fixture
Light Fixtures are one of few ways to light up the vessel's numerous halls and rooms. Light fixtures connect to the APC of the room they are within and remain on so long as a connected light switch is on, although keep in mind that new light switches CANNOT be made. Each light fixture is capable of three light levels: Off, night lighting, and full-brightness. Alongside this, light fixtures can accept a wide variety of light tubes from colored lights to plain lights. Keep them handy in case a virus shatters all of the light tubes!
To construct a light fixture:
- Click the steel in an active hand.
- Select "construction recipes"
- Select either "small light fixture frame" or "light fixture frame"
- Use the frame on the wall you wish to use.
- Use cable coil to add wiring.
- Use screwdriver to secure wiring.
- Add a light tube or light bulb depending on chosen frame.
To deconstruct a light fixture:
Turret
Turrets are perhaps not the most used piece of machinery on any vessel, but can be incredibly useful depending on the location, purpose, and situation. Just keep in find that turrets target indiscriminately, which may include you and coworkers. However, they are very useful in secure areas, such as the vault, which is why it can be equally useful to know how to construct them.
To construct a turret:
- Use steel in an active hand
- Select "turret frames"
- Select desired frame.
- Use a wrench to bolt the turret frame.
- Use steel to add a turret cover.
- Use a wrench to bolt the cover.
- Add any energy-type weapon.
- Add a proximity sensor.
- Use a screwdriver to secure the assembly.
- Use more steel to add a turret hatch.
- Use a welder to secure the turret hatch.
To deconstruct a turret:
Gravity Generator
Gravity Generators are some of the most useful and complex pieces of machinery on any vessel. They are the sole reason, aside from magboots, that anyone is capable of walking on a vessel as well as having objects and processes replicate those of a planet. There is usually just one on each vessel, but these very delicate devices are vital to standard operations and should be well-maintained and powered. While some disturbances may happen that lead to the temporary suspension of gravity, these devices will keep running as long as they are powered and working.
To REPAIR a gravity generator:
- Before starting, put on a radiation suit in case the generator outputs radiation during repairs.
- Use a crowbar to pry open the back panel.
- Use a screwdriver to secure the screws on the framework.
- Use a welder to mend the damage on the framework.
- Use at least 10 sheets of plasteel to replace plating on the framework.
- Use a wrench to secure the plating onto the framework.
- Use a crowbar to pry the back panel back into place.
- Turn on the generator's main breaker.
There is a manual containing all of this information, alongside other guidelines in the gravity generator observation room.
Note: A new generator CANNOT be made. If the generator is damaged beyond repair, there is no way to replace it.
Advanced Machinery
Putting the work in workplace.
The following machines are all "advanced machines". Each machine serves a specific purpose and, unlike previous machines, can be upgraded by Research and Development with new parts which can make the machine better in certain ways.
Alongside this, ever machine under this section is made in the same way. The steps to constructing an advanced machine are:
- Stand in the desired location of the machine
- Use steel in an active hand.
- Select "construction recipes"
- Select "machine blueprint"
- Rotate the blueprint as desired.
- If you want to build a gas cooler or gas heater, don't forget to use a screwdriver on the board before inserting it into the blueprint to change the orientation.
- Click on the blueprint with an empty hand to finalize its rotation.
- Add wires to the frame.
- Add the specific circuit board.
- You will receive a prompt showing the items required for the machine. You can examine the frame to see what items it still requires, and add items to the machine by clicking on it with the items in-hand.
- When all the parts are added, use a screwdriver on the machine frame to finish it.
The following list contains the specific machines that can found on the vessel, what their purpose is, and what items are needed.
