'''TO-DO, some kinda introduction'''

==Autolathe [[File:Autolathe.png|32px]]==
An autolathe is a fabricator of tools and materials. It must be filled with a certain amount of metal or glass before being able to create these items, and it can also recycle these items if needed.
Managing your autolathe is a task that's both important, and easy to pick up.

People will come to your office, asking for [[Engineering Items#Tools|certain items.]] As a [[Cargo Technician]] it is your duty to answer those requests!

===Using the Autolathe===
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="width:50%">
After clicking on the Autolathe, it will present you with this window:
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
<tabs>
<tab name="Basic">'''This is how the window looks by default'''<br><br>[[File:Autolathe UI.png]]</tab>
<tab name="Visual Explanation">'''This is a breakdown of autolathe buttons'''<br><br>[[File:Autolathe UI Explained.png]]</tab>
</tabs>
</div></div>
If a position is greyed out, it means autolathe is '''out of''' either '''metal''' or '''glass'''. <br>
To find an item, either '''look for it''' in the '''correct category''', or use the '''search bar'''.

===What items can the Autolathe print?===
{{See Also|Autolathe}} 

==Ore Redemption Machine [[File:ORM.gif|32px]]==
[[Shaft Miner|Your colleagues]] working in mining regularly deliver materials, and put them inside of this giant smelter.
After they leave, it becomes your job to dispense those goods to the ever-hungry crew.
[[Scientist|Certain]] [[Station Engineer|jobs]] can access the ORM freely, but, for example, [[Assistant|assistants]], cannot. Those kind of crew need your help with getting what they need.

Stations needs those materials for [[Guide to Research and Development|research]], [[Guide to Chemistry|saving lives]], or even simply [[Guide to Construction|redecorating.]]

==Taking and Filling Orders [[File:Supply Shuttle Console.png|32px]]==
'''Request console''' is the ever-beating heart of cargo. People can spend their [[Station Economy|hard-earned money]] (or corporate funds) on items that cannot be found anywhere else.

===Using the Supply Shuttle Console===
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="width:50%">
After clicking on the console, it will present you with this window:
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
<tabs>
<tab name="Basic">'''This is how the window looks by default'''<br><br>[[File:Supply Shuttle Console UI.png]]</tab>
<tab name="Visual Explanation">'''This is a breakdown of console's buttons'''<br><br>[[File:File:Supply Shuttle Console UI Explained.png.png]]</tab>

====Ordering Crates====
In order to order a crate:
# '''Choose the account'''. <br>
# Find what you are looking for. You can use both the categories, or the search bar. <br>
# '''Select amount''' of orders you are making, fill out the '''reason'''. <br> 
# If you are a [[Cargo Technician]], '''[[#Approving Orders|approve your order]]''' and '''wait''' for it to arrive. <br>

; <u>What can be ordered?</u>
{{See Also|Supply Crates#Crates}} 

====Approving Orders====
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">[[File:Approving Orders.png]]</div>
; <u>Personal Account Orders</u>
If an order was placed with someone's '''personal account''', any Cargo Technician can approve it.
To do so, simply click the <span style="padding: 0px 4px; border-radius: 2px; background-color: #1B9638; color: #FFFFFF;">Approve</span> button.
; <u>Departmental Account Orders</u>
If an order was placed with a departmental account, only the appropriate [[Roles#Station Command|command member]] can approve it. <br>
Supply Account is different, as any [[Cargo Technician]] can also approve orders with it.
Here is a table of which head may approve what:
{| class="wikitable" style="background-color: #f1f9ff;"
|- style="font-weight: bold; text-align: center; background-color: #b5e2ff;"
| width=150   | Account
| width=300   | Can approve orders
|-
| <span style="color:#127BB7">Command</span> || [[Captain]], [[Head of Personnel]], [[Nanotrasen Representative]] and [[Blueshield]]
|-
| <span style="color:#AD1818">Security</span> || [[Captain]] and [[Head of Security]]
|-
| <span style="color:#FF9D00">Engineering</span> || [[Captain]] and [[Chief Engineer]]
|-
| <span style="color:#B17FE0">Science</span> || [[Captain]] and [[Research Director]]
|-
| <span style="color:#57A3CC">Medical</span> || [[Captain]] and [[Chief Medical Officer]]
|-
| <span style="color:#30A055">Service</span> || [[Captain]], [[Head of Personnel]], [[Nanotrasen Representative]] and [[Blueshield]]
|-
| <span style="color:#A0743E">Supply</span> || [[Captain]], [[Head of Personnel]], [[Quartermaster]], [[Roles#Central Command Dignitaries|Any VIP]] and [[Cargo Technician|Cargo Technicians]]
|-
| <span style="color:#777777">Assistant</span> || [[Captain]], [[Roles#Station Command|Any Head]] and [[Roles#Central Command Dignitaries|Any VIP]]
|}

; <u>Denying Orders</u>
In case there is something [[Space Law|sketchy]] about an order, you should consult the [[Quartermaster]] wether to approve it or not.

To deny an order, press the <span style="padding: 0px 4px; border-radius: 2px; background-color: #BD2020; color: #FFFFFF;">Deny</span> button.

===Bureaucracy [[File:Paper.png|32px]]===
After any order is placed, a '''Requisition Form''' will be printed. You can '''stamp''' them appropriately and hide them in your [[File:Cabinet.png|32px]] cabinet or your [[File:Clipboard.png|32px]] clipboard.

After any order arrives on station, it comes with a '''Shipping Manifest'''. Those are needed when [[#Exports|exporting goods]].
<hr>
In addition, sometimes, the [[Quartermaster]] may enforce [[Paperwork]] for [[#Autolathe|other]] [[#Ore Redemption Machine|goods]]. <br>
It usually results in giving [[Example Paperwork#General Paperwork|item request forms]] to public, and only then fulfilling their orders.

It is done to keep a better track of supplies being distributed, but otherwise it slows everything down and makes crew '''very annoyed'''.

It is '''highly advised''' to drop ''any'' paperwork once a [[Nuclear Agent|massive]] [[Blob|threat]] is confirmed.

==Deliveries==
Delivering orders is a major part of your job!
===Using a MULEBot===
MULEbots are '''to-do'''

You can find two in the [[Cargo Bay]], or [[Supply Crates|order]] a few more!

====Sending Crates====
#Drag the crate on to the MULE.
#Set a destination with your PDA or on the control panel.
#Send the MULE off!

====MULEbot maintenance====
; <u>To fix MULEbot's damage:</u> <br>
In the case your MULE has been injured but not destroyed you can repair it in 5 easy steps.
# Unlock the Bot with an appropriate [[File:ID_CT.png|32px]] ID.
# Screw open the maintenance panel with a [[File:Screwdriver_tool.png|32px]] '''Screwdriver'''.
# [[File:Welderon.gif|32px]] '''Weld''' the bot until it is fixed.
# Screw close the maintenance panel with a [[File:Screwdriver_tool.png|32px]] '''Screwdriver'''.
# Lock the Bot with an appropriate [[File:ID_CT.png|32px]] ID.

; <u>To re-charge a MULEbot:</u> <br>
In the case your MULE has ran out of power, follow these steps.
#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.
#Turn the Mulebot back on.

===Disposals Mail===
This is an alternative way of delivering items, and is usually preferable to MULE transport as long as the pipes are still intact.

#Wrap your item/crate with package wrapper.
#Pick up the destination tagger and click it 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.

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. [[Traitor|This is usually not a good idea.]]

====Request Console Shipping====
Used for smaller, item-sized shipments. Does '''NOT''' support delivering crates.

#Find the nearest Request Console
#Click the "Print Shipping Label" button.
#Select the destination.
#Swipe your [[ID Card|ID]] on the console, press the "Print Label" button.
#Put the item inside of the shipping package.
#Seal the package. (Use the box in hand.)
#Put it inside of a disposal unit.

===The Telepads===
Cargo Office and RnD start with a [[File:Telepad.png|32px]] cargo telepad. <br>
You can link the [[File:RCS.png|32px]] Rapid Crate Sender (RCS for short) with said telepads. RCS can then be used to teleport crates and lockers to that telepad. <br>

; <u>Teleporting Crates</u>
# Link the RCS with a telepad. (Use it in hand.)
# Click a crate while holding the RCS.

; <u>Recharging the RCS</u>
# Put the RCS into a [[File:Recharger_empty.gif|32px]] recharger. (It can be found in your office.)
# Wait.
# Once the recharger starts glowing yellow, click it to take the RCS out.

==== Using the telepads efficiently ====
When a massive order arrives, a smart cargo employee may move their telepad to the delivery spot. To do so,
# [[File:Wrench.png|32px]] Unwrench the telepad.
# Move it.
# [[File:Wrench.png|32px]] Wrench down the telepad.

A bored Cargo Technician may choose to grab the RCS and go <u>'''Crate Hunting'''</u> in Maintenance. It is a good idea to move the telepad closer to the Export Conveyor Belt in Cargo Bay.

==== Getting more telepads ====
To get more telepads, you can ask [[Guide to Research and Development|RnD]] for Telepad Beacons. <br>
Use one in hand to summon a brand new telepad.

===The Loader MODSuit===
You can order a special [[MODsuits|MODsuit]] from [[Supply Crates|Central Command]]. The [[Quartermaster]] starts with one in their office.
Once activated, it allows the user to carry up to six crates.

; <u>Using a MODsuit</u>
{{See Also|MODsuits#Using a MODsuit}}

; <u>Loading a MODsuit</u>
# Select the Loader Hydraulic Clamp module.
# Hold the "ALT" button and click a crate.

; <u>Unloading a MODsuit</u>
# Select the Loader Hydraulic Clamp module.
# Hold the "ALT" button and click on an empty floor tile.

===By Foot===
Extremely inefficient, but when everything else fails, grab the crate and take it straight to it's new owner!

To drag a crate, hold "CTRL" and click it.

==Station Mail==

==Exports==
Exporting goods is an important part of your job too. It generates income for supply department, which you can then [[#Leftover Money|spend on goods!]]
To correctly export an item, it needs to be on the '''Supply Shuttle'''. If an item isn't a '''crate''', it needs to inside of one.

; Here is a list of items that can be exported:
* [[File:GrayCrate.png|40px]]'''Crates''' - 15 Credits each to supply account.
** [[File:Weapons Crate.png|40px]] 25 space credits per secure crate.
** [[File:Plasticcrate.png|40px]] 3 space credits per plastic crate.
* [[File:GreenStamp.png|40px]] '''Stamped Manifests''' - 5 credits each to the supply account.
* [[File:Plasma.png|40px]] '''Plasma Stacks''' - 10 credits for every unit exported to the supply account.
* [[File:Syndicatedocs.gif|40px]] '''Enemy Intel Documents''' - 750 credits each to the supply account.
* [[File:Ambrosia gaia seed.png|40px]] '''Exotic Plant Seeds''' - Gives variable credits depending on plant seed type, rarity, and potency. The revenue is split 50/50 between service and supply.
* [[File:Comp design or tech disk.png|40px]] '''Research Levels''' - Stored in technology disks, they give variable credits depending on research type, rarity, and level achieve. The revenue is split 50/50 between science and supply.

==Leftover Money==
If supply account is filled with [[Station Economy|cash]] (read: there is about 2500 spare credits), and the [[Quartermaster]] allows it, as per your [[Standard Operating Procedure (Supply)|SoP]], you can spend some of it on whatever you want!
