As the Janitor, your job is simple. Keep the station clean and tidy, and do all the dull maintenance work that the engineers are too busy to look at. This is a fairly relaxing and unimportant role, and very useful for new players to get comfortable with the game mechanics and roleplaying.
Required Knowledge
None! This is a great job for new players.
SoP
1: Signs are to be put down wherever cleaning that may cause someone to slip over is occurring. If you do not put wet floor signs down, people will slip and fall over on the wet floor and shout endless abuse at you, leading to the inevitable spacing of your Janicart.
2: Cleaning of crime scenes is to be cleared with the detective and/or HoS before removing potential evidence
Equipment
| Tool | Usage |
| Mop
|
A small blue mop which is used to clean the floor. |
|---|---|
| Bucket
|
A bucket holds liquid only, most commonly water |
| Wet Floor Signs
|
Place where you mopped to warn |
| Trash Bag | This is used to pick up litter you see in the hallways. Clicking on trash on the floor with the Trash Bag equipped will pick up all the trash on the tile at once. Handy for quick cleaning! |
| Space Cleaner
|
This is a small spray bottle of non-slip, instant-cleaning fluid. These are generally used for when you're on something other than cleaning duty, without your mop and bucket, and see a small mess - just spray it and the floor is clean, without any signage required. If you need a refill, your closet holds a space cleaner dispenser on the wall. The chemists should also be more than happy to oblige. |
| Janitor Cart
|
Can hold your mop, trashbag, floor signs, and space cleaner all in one easy-to-pull package! Plus it comes with a reservoir of water for your mop! |
| Light Replacer
|
Use to replace damaged lights. |
| Replacement Light Boxes | Holds lights for use with the Light Replacer |
| Galoshes
|
These are your special shoes for when you're on cleaning duty. At a small cost to speed, they prevent you from slipping on absolutely everything except for space lube. |
| Bio Suit
|
Used for those particularly bad messes. Will slow you down when you wear it. Only wearing it while it is required is recommended. Currently, the suit will only protect you from touch-based viruses. |
| Water Tank
|
A blue, gigantic tank filled with 1000 units of water. |
| Cleaner Grenades
|
These grenades, when detonated, flood a small area with sterilizing foam. You shouldn't ever need to use this except in the cases of extremely huge messes and, as the foam slips people, are very annoying when used otherwise! |
| Flashlight
|
Used to see when lights just don't cut it. Good for maintenance or when the lights are out/broken |
| Janicart
|
A cart that you can ride on by using the keys on the wagon to insert them and clicking and dragging yourself onto the cart. It can hold a trash bag. It goes rather fast, and you can still use your mop from it, but dragging the mop bucket around is rather cumbersome. To get out just click on the cart with an empty hand, without a trash bag in the cart, press the status button in the top right, or press B in hotkey mode. |
| Flyswatter
|
Good for killing bees and butterflies, rumored to be able to keep away janicart thieves. |
Garbage Patrol
Listed below are the jobs you will be expected to perform aboard the station.
Cleaning Duty
This is the main task associated with janitors. You should always keep a space cleaner bottle handy if you're walking around doing other things and see a stain, but if you see a larger mess or get called out somewhere to clean up, head back to your closet. Grab the blue bucket and fill it with water from the large tank, and fill your yellow mop bucket with it. If it's a radium spill from chemistry put on your hazmat suit, otherwise simply pick up a mop, get a wet floor sign or two, put on your galoshes, pull the yellow bucket and head to the area that requires cleanup.
To clean, simply use the mop on the bucket to wet it, and then click the tile you want to clean. Before you start, put down a wet floor sign near the area that you are scrubbing and leave it there for about 5 minutes after you're done, so that people are aware of the slipping danger. It's also nice to warn people over the radio in order to further ensure that Security don't arrest you for creating a workplace hazard. Now you can return to your closet and put away all your equipment, seeing as they're extremely movement-impeding and it's good for RP.
IMPORTANT: If you're cleaning up a crime scene, MAKE SURE THE DETECTIVE HAS ALREADY BEEN THERE AND DONE HIS THING. Otherwise, Security will be very upset with you.
Litter Picking
You have a trash bag in your closet in order to pick up all the litter people leave lying around - put this on your belt every round before you go out on janitor patrol. Right-click the trash bag to select between 'Pick up one item at a time' and 'Pick up all the items on a tile', depending on the magnitude of litter you're dealing with, and simply click the items you want gone with the bag to put them inside. Use the bag on a disposals bin to empty everything within and the bin will automatically activate to get rid of all the disgusting garbage. Common litter you will need to dispose of include cigarette butts, snack wrappers, and discarded pens.
Low-Level Maintenance
Arguably what you will spend most of your time doing. Usually, this means replacing broken lights, using the spares you have in your closet. While you're doing this, make sure to take the broken light you just replaced and put it in your box. When you run out of working lights, take the broken ones down to the autolathe, put them in, and then make some new ones.
If the station gets hit by an electrical storm, get ready to work hard, because this means that more than half of the station's lights have been blown. Use the flashlight if you're having a tough time working in heavily affected areas.
You are not an engineer, so do not go fixing walls, or the like. Mending tables and chairs is fine however.
Waste Management
Litter picking is no good if disposals aren't doing their job, and as the janitor, you need to be making sure that all the garbage is being dealt with. The disposals center is located in the south end of Arrivals, directly below the vacant office, and you need to go through a maintenance tunnel to get to it. Switch the lever to REVERSE so that the conveyor is moving trash to the mass driver and press the switch to open the blast door. Check back now and again to launch the mass driver when there is trash on it. Since this set-up will cause the disposals belt to be completely void of air, you can tell the AI to bolt down the conveyor belt maintenance door if you like.
Also, disposed of objects must go through the cargo bay conveyor first before reaching disposals, so make sure you tell the cargo techs to start up their belt as well.
Traitor
As a traitor you're going to have a tough time, but no job is impossible. You are equipped with a set of decent non-lethal items.
- Galoshes: You won't slip, allowing you to wet the floor and be perfectly fine while your enemies fall over.
- Mop and Mop Bucket: These let you wet the floor to make people fall so you can do whatever you need to do to them. Mopping a floor can be fairly slow, but you can easily get them if you plan their movement ahead of time.
- Space Cleaner: Fill this with some deadly chemicals and you are great! Getting the chemicals may be hard but an incompetent chemist may give acid away with open arms.
- Cleaner Grenades: Can make a large population of people slip and fall.
- Trash Bag: Is extremely good at hiding weapons, rarely gets searched. On the downside you might wind up emptying the items into the disposals by mistake, so be careful.
Don't cry because you got janitor traitor, it can be quite fun! Just use the tools given to you and stay hidden. Your role is to clean, so if cleaning involves cleaning the blood of the guy you just killed claiming "you didn't see him get murdered" then by all means, clean!
