Everything in engineering and atmos has it's limits removed and works closer to reality. -200C in the room? I imagine you have short moments before turning into ice rock. 10000C hellfire? Even shorter moments before you turn into soup. Atmos tech hotwires 1 GW Teg into network? You better have insulated gloves, otherwise you are about to have a bad time. Supermatter, if poked with thrown items enough makes bigger and bigger area of radiation. Room filled with co2? Oh no I gotta ru- *faints and dies from Carbon monoxide poisoning*. Also fastmos returns

And this is prime example, what Chad department - atmospherics is made for.

My eyes.. My eyes are bleeding

Ripley that are made by miners roundstart offer only relative safety, have super weak drill AND you have to wait at least about 10 minutes(usually, robotics make it themselves, without asking, about 20 minutes in shift), to have it made, while without it you'd be halfway done mining basic minerals. I think Ripleys basic drill should drill 2 tiles deep. Other ripley mining tools definitely deserve buff. Fully upgraded ripley is slower, mines slower, moves slower, does everything worse than miner with RnD tools. Let it have heavy version of current tools. Give it heavy KA, that for example, shoots as fast, as 2 KA, but without their weird shooting speed penalty for double welding. Heavy plasma cutter, that shoots either 2 plasma bolts, or 1, but deeeper bolt. Give it lavaland themed upgrades. At the current state, only ripley use, is for newbies to not die.

Hello Thursday, about your question, you need few hours(5 or 10h I think) of gameplay as borg, before AI unlocks, same for command members of other departments. First, you need to learn what you can, and cannot do by playing as borg. For example lawset is your master, lawset is your limit, for example you never harm crew members on crewsimov. Each lawset has its purpose, and limits, and you need to be sure to stay within them. AI is master of borgs, and gets to order, manage, or blow up/lock them down. Second, you should know at least in theory, about purpose of command members and rights. As AI its usually more calm, and there are less important things to do. When you want to wipe core(cryo), you ahelp. When you are in doubt what you can do, or not, you mentor help. When borgs request orders, when situation is in chaos, you give them orders. Once you unlock it, I hope you have fun.

1. Be chaplain 2. Get Arrythmic Knife. 3. Run(sometimes) Like on meth pre-nerf hammer. I know other way, to go faster than game's main controller computes numbers, passing z levels instantly, but I'm not revealing it, nor using it.
