Your workplace

The Cargo bay is your home as a Cargo Technician and, naturally, where you start the game. It contains a Hand Labeler, destination taggers, a Cell Charger and Power Cell set, a Station Bounced Radio, some Rods, a Multitool, a Med-kit, some empty Crates, a MULE, a Copy Machine, and an Autolathe.

 

Your Boss

The Head of Personnel is your superior, as is the Quartermaster. Do what they order you to do, with the Head of Personnel being the top priority.

 

Getting started:

it is imported to know that to order useful items for the station you need Cargo Points (CP).

as a cargo technician you have only a few ways to preserve the cargo points from running out.

since your not directly responsible for getting more points.

first step is to send back crates whit the shuttle. each crate will give you a total of 5 CP.

to get some quick CP right of the bat its recommended to empty the cargo hall for Crates.

you will find about 6 crates at the beginning of the round stored away. giving you about 30 extra CP to work whit.

 

Returning Crates!

it is important to note that a crate comes whit a "shipping manifest" attached to it.

those "shipping manifest" can be worth Gold if you have your paper work in order.

whenever someone comes to return a crate they have ordered. you can place the "shipping manifest" inside of that crate to gain 2 extra CP. giving a potential 7Cp discount on all orders if done correctly.

 

Handling orders:

you will see people come running to order stuff.

its the quartermaster's job to make sure that people don't order things they are not meant to have.

but more often then not you need to look at the computer and check if orders have been left hanging.

or if the quartermaster goes missing you have to be able to take over to insure that the station keeps running.

 

there are 2 good ways to send the crates to their appropriate places:

 

Using the MULEBot

Drag the crate on to the MULE.

Set a destination with your PDA or on the control panel.

Send the MULE off!

 

How to Recharge the MULEBot

 

Open up the maintenance panel with a screwdriver. (Make sure the controls are unlocked first!)

Take out the power cell. (Top entry.)

Insert charged power cell.

Close panel with screwdriver.

 

Disposals Mailing

Wrap your item/crate with package wrapper.

Pick up the destination tagger and click in your hand to set a destination.

Use the destination tagger on the parcel.

Optional: Use a pen to write a message on the parcel, or custom set a destination.)

Stick it on the conveyor, or dump it in a disposals unit, and let the system handle it.

Tip: Click and drag the large parcels to disposals units to put them in. This can only be done a few times however.

 

how to gift wrap packages and Humans

 

You can also gift wrap packages, but these cannot be tagged with a destination, and have to be delivered manually. This will not work with large objects. The process is slightly more complicated.

 

Pick up the item you want to gift wrap.

Hold a sharp object in your other hand. (Wirecutters are the most common for this.)

Click the wrapping paper with the item you want to wrap.

 

Gift wrapping a human is also possible, but they must have a straight jacket on and you need the wrapping paper in your hand. This is usually not a good idea.

 

The Autolathe.

this is a wonderful machine that makes you stuff, it runs on Metal and Glass.

often people will come to the cargo to order things like Tools. those are not orders in crates, but made from the Autolathe. so your job is simply to craft those items and hand them over, but only if people seam to have a good reason to get those tools and other stuff.

 

Other things to do.

check the trash-line. its overall a good idea to look at all the trash the station dumps fro time to time.

here you might find useful items. help security whenever you find someone tried to dispose of a dead body.

or just regular trash. also not to forget, trowing out people who trashed them-self. this happens frequently!

this help you get an overall idea about the stations situation since often as a cargo technician you tend to loose touch whit the world outside of cargo hall

 

Doing Paperwork

ready to look professional ? sure you are. its a great way to impress the quartermaster.

first of you can take all the shipping orders and stamp then whit the Approved or Denied stamp. it really fells good to stamp a big Denied in front of the clown ordering a shotgun crate. then you can file them to make sure everything looks nice and in order.

whenever people want you to use the Autolathe you can go to the Guide to Paperwork section and copy the form you need, just o make people fill out the paper while you work at the machine. this way they at least got something to do while waiting. and you get a break from people talking about how much stuff they need.

 

Traitoring

 

You're a bit of in a pickle here, but wait. There's an autolathe that can help you GREATLY. Be careful though, if there is a Quartermaster, he will probably notice your shady activities in the Cargo Bay. It is possible to emag the cargo ordering console and order certain special shipments, which will help you greatly if you manage to sneak them onto the station unnoticed by your colleagues.
