Revision as of 23:59, 21 January 2022

Currently working on an engineering items page, partially ripped from bee/yogcode. TODO: Images for items, doing a pass over each ship to add where you can find things

Items

Cable Coil
Cable Coil 		Found in: Engineering, under floor tiles
Used for: Laying electrical wires, building things that use electricity
Strategy: Wire is a resource, and can be used in many constructions and to lay down power lines. Make sure all APCs are connected to the main lines with wires, or you'll have black outs.
Description
Comes in many fun colors. Can be laid down on the plating to distribute electrical power. Can be connected to adjacent tiles straight and diagonally. Read the guide to wiring to see how. Make sure you have insulated gloves on (or turn the power off) before attempting to connect live wires.

By using wires in hand, you can turn them into , which are makeshift restraints used to tie someone down.

Power Cell
Power Cell 		Found in: Cargo, Engineering, R&D, inside APCs, inside Space Heaters, inside some powered items.
Used for: Building things that use electricity
Strategy: Used to power APCs, cyborgs and various electrical equipment.
Description
Can be recharged in a Cell Charger.
Comes in five varieties:

Tools

Rapid Construction Device (RCD)
Rapid Construction Device (RCD) 		Found in: Engineering, R&D after Advanced Engineering is researched
Used for: Making and destroying walls, doors, and floors.
Description
An experimental device which can build, or deconstruct areas rapidly. This is held in the EVA for emergencies (and is the Chief Engineer's responsibility). However they can be made in hacked autolathes as well.

Use this tool in hand to open a radial menu, where you can choose mode and change many settings, such as airlock access, airlock type and window type. Then click on an area or object with it to utilize the set settings.

  • Build Floors (2 Ammo)
  • Build a Wall (16 Ammo)
  • Build a wall on top of a girder (8 Ammo)
