Guide to Robotics

Robotics and the Mech Bay

For the aspiring Roboticist, this guide will explain the creation and maintenance of Cyborg, Bots, and Exosuits.

Robotics Equipment

Machines

Exosuit Fabricator

The Exosuit Fabricator is your main construction machine, you feed materials into it, and it builds all the things you could possibly need. It can make prosthetic limbs, cyborg parts and internal components, exosuit parts, exosuit equipment modules, and a variety of useful miscellaneous items like power cells. It has a vast variety of blueprints available to start, but certain advanced things must be unlocked by raising your research levels. These will be explained later.

It can be upgraded with stock parts.

• Upgrading the Laser will increase material efficiency, reducing the quantity of materials you require to build things.
• Upgrading the Manipulators will increase speed efficiency, reducing the time required to build various parts.
• Upgrading the Matter Bins will allow it to store more materials.

Circuit Imprinter

The Circuit Imprinter is where you print all the circuits you need for exosuits or Robotics related machinery, you feed sulphuric acid into it, along with glass. It cannot create upgrade boards for cyborgs, it can create all legal boards related to the AI though. Like the Exosuit Fabricator, many of these advanced borgs must first be unlocked.

It can be upgraded with stock parts.

• Upgrading the Matter Bins will allow it to store more materials.
• Upgrading the Manipulators will increase material efficiency, reducing the quantity of materials you require to build things.

Autolathe

You don't start with one of those, but they are very useful both for you and for the scientists in RnD next door. It can make the various parts you need for bots, tools in case you need spares and much more. You have access to tech storage, so it's usually a good idea to go there, get the circuit board and set one up in an area both you and the scientists can reach. To get the stock parts, just deconstruct one of your exosuit fabbers, then use the Autolathe to print more stock parts and rebuild the fabber.

Protolathe

Another very handy machine you don't start with. Once you have an Autolathe, simply print a Protolathe circuit board on the Circuit Imprinter, add stock parts from the Autolathe and you're done. Place it close to your R&D Console, then simply link the devices in the R&D Console's device linkage menu.

Cyborgs

See also Cyborgification Contracts. These contracts are important - without a signed contract making a man into a machine is technically murder - no matter how much he wants it!

The Cyborg is the Roboticist's primary creation and upkeep. They are tasked with helping the station's inhabitants in their daily life and trying to kill everyone when the AI is insane. Each cyborg is required to follow the AI's laws, and may choose one of the AIs in the event that more than one exists.

It is generally a good idea to have one or two empty cyborg bodies built and ready for people that want to become cyborgs and to let dead players rejoin the round as borgs. Make sure you have a posibrain lying around and keep activating it from time to time.

Making a Cyborg

1. Fill the Exosuit Fabricator with as much metal as it will hold.
2. Click on the Exosuit Fabricator to open its menu. Select Add To Queue for Robot Endoskeleton, Left Arm, Right Arm, Left Leg, Right Leg, Torso, Head, Camera and Law Computer, then click on Process Queue in the right side.
3. Wait for a few minutes for the pieces to be built. You will likely need to add additional metal to the Fabricator in order for it to finish.
4. When putting the parts together, use the Robot Endoskeleton as a base. Attach components by picking them up and then clicking on the endoskeleton.
   • Add 2x Synthetic Flash to the Head before attaching it. You do this by picking up the flashes and then clicking on the head. .
   • The Cyborg Torso will need 1x wires and 1x power cell.
   • The arms and legs can be done easily by simply picking them up and placing them on the Cyborg Endoskeleton.
5. The last step is installing either an MMI or a File:Posibrain.png posibrain. Posibrains need to be active. If you got it from a destroyed Cyborg or removed it from an IPC, that shouldn't be an issue but a freshly printed one must first be activated, which gives ghosts a chance to enter the brain and rejoin the round. If the activation failed, then no ghost wanted to enter the brain, try again later.

Extract a brain for the Cyborg

Note: Remember to label body bags as being cyborgified, it will clear up bookkeeping problems regarding the addition of a new cadaver in the morgue.

1. (Optional) Complete Prepping for Surgery.
2. Aim for the organ's location in the Damage Zone. (Head for brain/eyes, chest for heart/liver/lungs, groin for appendix/kidney)
3. Use a scalpel on the patient, and choose Organ Manipulation.
4. Use a scalpel to cut back the flesh.
5. Use the hemostat to stop any potential bleeding.
6. Use your retractors to lift up the skin.
7. Use the saw to cut through the bones.
8. Use the retractor to separate the bones.
9. Use the hemostat. This will open up a window asking you which loose organ you'd like to remove. Select the Brain.
10. Place the brain in an MMI.
11. Carry the MMI over to your finished Cyborg construct that you made before, and click on it to add the brain into the Cyborg.

You can also use a normal table instead of an operating table, but this has a chance of missing one third of the time.

So You Decapitated Your Patient? Don't panic just yet! You can still complete the brain extraction. It's actually easier then extracting the brain from an attached head. Use a scalpel, then a retractor, then a hemostat.

Spiderbot

Spiderbots are temporary bodies for brains.

They can zap things, move through vents, and generally act like pests.

Combine the following:

• Robot head.
• Manipulator.
• Occupied MMI or positronic brain.

An emagged spiderbot gains a more powerful shock and increased health, while also binding it to the command of who emagged it. If the spiderbot is to die, it will detonate, destroying the occupant and maiming those around it.

Cyborg Maintenance

You'll often have Cyborgs run up to you with any number of problems. Here's how to deal with them most of the time.

Repair

When Cyborgs get dented, they'll come to you for repairs. Luckily, most repairs are simple

1. Equip a welding helmet on your head.
   • Note: Be sure to remember this step or you could go blind!
2. Place a welder in your hand, click on it while it's in your hand to light it, then click on the Cyborg repeatedly to repair it. Engineer cyborgs can also repair themselves and other cyborgs like this.

Occasionally Cyborgs are inflicted by more advanced damage that hurts their internal wiring. If this is the case:

1. Swipe an ID with Robotics access to unlock the panel.
2. Crowbar open the panel.
3. Remove the cyborg's power cell by clicking on it with an empty hand.
4. Use a screwdriver to expose the wires.
5. Use a cable coil to replace damaged wires.
6. Screwdriver the cyborg to unexpose the wires.
7. Crowbar the panel shut.
8. Swipe an ID with Robotics access to relock the cover.

Cyborg Component Repair

Sometimes robots will have damaged components that need to be removed and replaced. Removing them is pretty straightforward.

1. Swipe an ID with Robotics access to unlock the panel.
2. Crowbar open the panel.
3. Remove the cyborg's power cell by clicking on it with an empty hand.
4. Use a screwdriver to expose the wires.
5. Crowbar out the desired component.

Occasionally a robot will be so damaged that only the brain is salvageable, or perhaps it's volunteering for an AI core. You can remove the brain by following these steps.

1. Swipe an ID with Robotics access to unlock the panel.
2. Crowbar open the panel.
3. Remove the cyborg's power cell by clicking on it with an empty hand.
4. Use a screwdriver to expose the wires.
5. Cut all five wires with wirecutters.
6. Use a crowbar to remove the MMI.

Human Prosthetic Repair

You may be asked to repair damage to the artificial limbs of your fellow crew members.

To fix brute damage:

1. Follow the same procedure as outlined above for fixing dents in cyborgs, making sure to target the specific area that requires fixing.

To fix burn damage:

1. Use a cable coil on the damaged area.

Upgrading the Power Cell

Cyborgs that start when the game starts will likely come straight to you for an upgrade in the first few minutes of the game.

Help them out by upgrading their power cell, which will lessen the amount of time they need to visit the recharging station. Click on the Cyborg with the following items (in order):

1. Swipe an ID with Robotics access to unlock the panel.
2. Crowbar open the panel.
3. Click on the Cyborg with an empty hand to take out the power cell and replace it with the higher-capacity power cell.
   • Note: The default power cell capacity in Cyborgs is 7,500. All of the power cells you find in your office should be at least 15,000, and the Science Department can research power cells that exceed 30,000.
4. Crowbar the panel shut.
5. Swipe an ID with Robotics access to relock the cover.

Upgrade Modules

Not only can you build and repair Cybrogs, they also come to you to get upgrades installed once RnD has them researched. These have their own category in the exosuit fabricator.

The available upgrade modules are:

• Reset Module: Not really an upgrade at all, this simply resets a borg's module, letting it change from one specialization to another.
• Rename Module: Allows for the names of borgs to be changed.
• Restart Module: Use this module to restart a borg that was destroyed and has since been repaired.
• VTEC Module: Increases the speed of a borg, rather useful.
• Disabler Cooler: Increases the cooling of a cyborg's disabler, enabling it to shoot faster. Only useful on cyborgs with a disabler, which means security models.
• Ion Thrusters: Basically a jetpack for cyborgs. Allows a cyborg to move in zero-g, allowing space travel.
• Diamond Mining Drill: Upgrades the built-in mining drill, letting it drill faster. Only works on mining cyborgs.
• Mining Satchel of Holding: Upgrades the cyborg's mining storage, allowing it to hold more minerals. Only works on mining cyborgs.
• Illegal Equipment Upgrade: Unlocks a cyborg's illegal and more dangerous equipment, the same equipment that's unlocked by emagging.
• Self Repair Module: Allows a cyborg to slowly repair damage to itself.

To apply any of these modules:

1. Swipe an ID with Robotics access to unlock the panel.
2. Crowbar open the panel.
3. File:Cyborg upgrade1.png Print out the upgrade in the fabricator, and insert it into the cyborg.
4. Crowbar the panel shut.
5. Swipe an ID with Robotics access to relock the cover.

Modifications

Cyborgs that have had their programming tampered with can be repaired by resetting their AI connection and LawSync status, by manually pulsing the wiring.

In the unlikely event that an AI goes crazy, a trained Roboticist or other technician should be able to sever the connection to the AI entirely by cutting the correct wire.

There are three lights in the cyborg with three corresponding wires:

• LawSync: If this light is on, it means that any laws uploaded to the AI are also uploaded to the cyborg. The cyborg cannot be given different laws to the AI as long as this is on. This light will turn off if the AI Link light is off, regardless of wire status.
  • Pulsing does nothing.
  • Cutting will do nothing, as long as the AI link light is on. If the AI link light is off, cutting and then turning the AI link back on will cause the cyborg to be slaved to an AI, but not synced with it's laws.
  • Mending this wire will turn the LawSync light back on as long as the AI link light is also on. The cyborg will then resume syncing with the AI's laws. If the AI link light is off, mending this will turn the light on, only for it to turn off again.

• AI Link: If this light is on, it shows that the Cyborg is slaved to an AI and must follow that AI's orders.
  • Pulsing this wire allows you to pick an AI for the cyborg to be slaved to if there are multiple AIs. If there is only one AI, pulsing this will simply turn it on and slave the cyborg to it, if it is off.
  • Cutting this wire will cause the Cyborg to be unslaved from the AI and bound only by it's laws. This also turns off LawSync, as the cyborg has no AI to sync to.
  • Mending this wire does nothing. You need to pulse it to reconnect it to an AI.

• Module Lock: If this light is on, the module of the cyborg cannot be changed.
  • Pulsing this will reset the module of a cyborg and allow it to pick a new one.
  • Cutting this wire will cause the cyborg to be locked to the standard module and be unable to change or use any items. They can still remote control devices however.
  • Mending this wire will allow the cyborg to change modules.

An emagged cyborg will have no LawSync or AI link and cannot be reset.

Remember, cyborgs are very expensive! Do not destroy them unless the cyborg is completely out of control, and resetting the AI and LawSync status doesn't work.

IPC Surgery

There are are also a number of procedures that can be performed on IPCs. IPCs don't feel pain and can't get infections, so don't worry about administering anesthetics or washing your hands. If RnD has the tech for it, bug them for a Nanopaste, or if you have a Protolathe yourself, make one. Remember that IPC brains are in their chest, not their head.

Internal Cybernetic Manipulation

Mending, removal, and insertion of posibrains, microbatteries, optical sensors, and implants.

1. Aim for the patient's correct Damage Zone.
2. Use the screwdriver to select the "Internal Cybernetic Manipulation" Surgery.
3. Use a screwdriver to unlock the hatch on the limb;
4. Use a crowbar to open the hatch on the limb;
5. [REMOVAL Option] Use a multitool to Remove the organ.
6. [REMOVAL] Dispose of the organ. For Borgification simply place the File:Posibrain.png Posibrain in an empty cyborg exoskeleton, or give the posibrain to a Roboticist.
7. [TRANSPLANTATION Option] Use the organ you intend to transplant on the patient.
8. [HEALING Option] Repair the affected organ with Nanopaste.
9. Use a crowbar to close the hatch on the limb

Shadowling Dethrall (Synthethics)

Turning a thralled IPC back into a normal crewmember

1. Aim for the upper body in the Damage Zone.
2. Use the screwdriver to select the "Cleanse Contaminants" Surgery.
3. Use a screwdriver to unlock the hatch on the limb;
4. Use a crowbar to open the hatch on the upper body;
5. Use a flashlight or nearby handheld light-source to remove the shadowling tumor.
6. Use a crowbar to close the hatch on the upper body

Implant Removal (Synthethics)

Removing implants from the body. Also removal of things from body cavities.

1. Aim for the implant location on the Damage Zone.
2. Use the screwdriver to select the "Implant Removal" Surgery.
3. Use a screwdriver to unlock the hatch on the limb;
4. Use a crowbar to open the hatch on the limb;
5. Use your hemostat to extract the implant. This may take several goes.
6. Use a crowbar to close the hatch on the limb

Robotic Limb Repair

Fixing mechanical arms, legs, hands and feet. Also performs facial reconstruction if aiming for head.

1. Use the screwdriver to select the "Cybernetic Repair" Surgery.
2. Use a screwdriver to unlock the hatch on the limb;
3. Use a crowbar to open the hatch on the limb;
4. Use a welding tool to repair Brute damage then cable coil to repair burn damage;
5. Use a crowbar to close the hatch on the limb

Robotic Limb Amputation

"173. IPC interns are not to be punished for incompetence by having their "limb privileges" revoked." - Things Comms Officer Jenkins is Not Allowed To Do in CentCom

1. Use the screwdriver to select the "Robotic Limb Amputation" Surgery.
2. Use a multitool to remove the targeted limb.

Bots

As a Roboticist, you serve another important purpose, making NPC Bots. Bots can benefit the station in many ways, and are really easy to create. The current list of bots, and how to make them, is as follows:

Medibot

These will only inject chemicals if the chemical helps with the target's damage by default.

Note that these don't synthesize their own chemicals, except Saline-Glucose Solution, Charcoal, and Spaceacillin.

To make:

1. Cyborg Right or Left Arm.
2. Empty File:Firstaidkit.png Medkit.
   • Note: Differently colored medkits will also change the resulting color of your Medibot.
3. (Optional) Name the bot with a pen.
4. health analyzer.
5. proximity sensor.
6. beaker filled with the medicine of your choice.

They can also be Emagged to repeatedly inject anyone with harmful chemicals.

Cleanbot

Cleanbots are great, as they serve the exact same purpose as the Janitor.

Even better is that it uses Space Cleaner to mop, so no slipping on everything!

To make:

1. bucket (Grab it from the Janitor or make with Autolathe)
2. proximity sensor.
3. (Optional) Name the bot with a pen.
4. Cyborg Right or Left Arm.

An emagged cleanbot will spray slippery foam around it, while still responding to any mess in visual range, or continuing its patrol.

File:Floorbot.gif Floorbot

Floorbots are nice to have around when some asshole starts crowbarring up floor tiles or some traitor has blown apart a section of the station.

They zoom around and repair busted floor tiles. Keep in mind that Floorbots have a limited number of floor tiles. This number can be observed by popping up their control panel.

To make:

1. Empty File:Btoolbox.png toolbox (Must be a blue one)
2. Floor tile (click on a stack of metal while it's in your hand to open a menu for making these)
3. proximity sensor.
4. (Optional) Name the bot with a pen.
5. Cyborg Right or Left Arm.

Emagged Floorbots will tear apart floor panels and plating, usually exposing the area to space. Great if don't need to worry about being in a vacuum.

Securitron

Basically, Officer Beepsky without the personality.

Note that destroying a Securitron or Officer Beepsky with a melee weapon is all but impossible by yourself; striking them causes them to immediately stun and cuff you. If you work with another person you can get several hits in while it is cuffing the other person, which is often enough to destroy it outright.

To make:

1. Use a Screwdriver on a Remote Signaling Device
2. Combine with a Helmet (Get these from Security)
3. Weld them together
4. Add a Proximity Sensor and a Robot Arm.
5. Toss in a File:StunBaton.gifStun Baton

You usually won't need to build any of these, but they can be hilariously helpful for traitors whom have invested in a Electromagnetic Card (E-mag), as they tend to run around stunning and cuffing everyone in sight. Problem is, any of these that report a Level 10 Infraction when spotting people are obviously hacked.

ED-209

Beepsky's bigger brother.

Has all of the abilities of a standard Securitron, with the addition of a ranged attack.

To make:

1. Use a metal sheet on a Cyborg Endoskeleton to reinforce it.
2. Add two Robot Legs and a security vest.
3. Weld everything together
4. Add in a security Helmet
5. Attach a Proximity Sensor to the assembly
6. Insert wires
7. Add a File:Taser.pngTaser and attach it with a Screwdriver.
8. Insert a Power cell. Your own murder-robot is complete!

A emagged ED-209 fires deadly lasers AND attacks anyone on sight. Anyone emagging a ED-209 is advised to run like crazy.

pAI-controlled bots

The NPC bot not doing it enough for you, not enough personality? You can now place pAIs into bots, excluding the Security designs, to wander around and assist! Take your wanted bot and simply click on it with a active pAI, you now have a pAI Bot.

• pAI Bots still spout automated messages if they weren't turned off.
• Emagging a pAI Bot causes the pAI to be ejected out.

Exosuits

Construction of exosuits are restricted by ID, so they are typically the product of roboticists and the Research Director. These can be tremendously helpful or tremendously annoying depending on who uses it. They take more work to make than robots and require special circuits, which are obtained through the Quartermaster or the Research and Development console.

Make sure you have the required materials to finish an exosuit before you begin construction. The amount of raw material required for each mech can be found in the following table, assuming an unupgraded exosuit fabricator. For each level of laser part (micro-laser -> high-power micro-laser -> ultra-high-power micro-laser -> quad-ultra micro-laser) multiply the total material amounts by (1 -> 0.85 -> 0.7 -> 0.55).

Exosuit name	Metal	Glass	Silver	Diamond	Uranium	Plasma	Bananium	Tranquilite
Ripley/Firefighter APLU	100,000	7,500	0	0	0	0	0	0
Odysseus	65,000	10,000	0	0	0	0	0	0
Gygax	135,000	15,000	0	20,000	0	0	0	0
Durand	160,000	25,000	28,000	0	30,000	0	0	0
Phazon	195,000	15,000	0	0	0	100,000	0	0
HONK MECH	120,000	15,000	0	0	0	0	35,000	0
Reticence	120,000	15,000	0	0	0	0	0	35,000

The current list of exosuits is as follows.

Exosuit Construction

Ripley APLU

The Ripley APLU (Autonomous Power Loading Unit) is a slow moving, decently protected exosuit.

Generally, it can take down a Gygax because of the sheer power of the drill, but it does not make a good combat exosuit because it is slow and has no range. Best used against Spess carp invasions, blobs, Changelings, and for Revs (using it to breach high security areas)

Exosuit Equipment

Various tools and weapons can be attached to Exosuits, providing them with ability to perform different tasks. Exosuit Equipment is built by Exosuit Fabricator ("Exosuit Equipment" menu). To attach a tool or weapon, simply click with it on an Exosuit. Exosuits have limited equipment space depending on their type.

Exosuit Equipment comes in several categories:

• General: Can be attached to any exosuit.
• Medical: Can only be attached to the Odysseus.
• Industrial: Can only be attached to APLUs.
• Combat: Can only be attached to Durand, Gygax, Marauder, HONK Mech, Recitence, Phazon, and other combat mechs.

Some equipment fit in more than one of the latter three categories. Where this is the case, that equipment can be used on any of the specifically named Exosuits in those categories.

There are some equipment that are also limited to single specific exosuits, those will be named in the category too where that's the case.

Please note that most of the information taken on these comes from a different code-base, and may be similar albeit possibly incorrect.

General Equipment

Energy Relay - Plasma Generator - ExoNuclear Reactor - Repair Droid - Reactive Armor (Melee) - Reactive Armor (Ranged) - Teleporter - Wormhole Generator - Gravitational Catapult

Tesla Energy Relay
Category: General	Power Consumption: N/A
Tech Requirements: Electromagnetic Spectrum Research: 4 Power Manipulation Technology: 5 Engineering Research: 4	Construction Costs: Metal: 10000 Gold: 2000 Silver: 3000 Glass: 2000
Wirelessly drains energy from any available power channel in area. The performance index is quite low.
Function: Generates 20W of power to recharge the battery. Drains from the nearest APC.
Notes: This will usually not be enough to stop power loss when moving around, but will greatly slow it. And the exosuit will usually recharge when standing still. Still drains power from an APC even when the cell is fully charged.

Plasma Generator
Category: General	Power Consumption: N/A
Tech Requirements: None	Construction Costs: Metal: 10000 Silver: 2000 Plasma: 5000 Glass: 1000
An exosuit module that generates power using solid plasma as fuel. Pollutes the environment.
Function: Burns Plasma Sheets to produce power. To pickup a plasma, activate the generator as the active module, then click a plasma sheet on the ground. Consumes 100 cm^3 of plasma per second to charge up the power cell Consumes 10 cm^3 of plasma per second instead, when the power cell is full. Does not auto deactivate. Each plasma sheet contains 2000cm^3 of plasma, and so will run the generator for 4 seconds per sheet. While running, produces 30W of power per second.
Notes: This generator consumes plasma rapidly.

ExoNuclear Reactor
Category: General	Power Consumption: N/A
Tech Requirements: Power Manipulation Technology: 5 Engineering Research: 4 Materials Research: 3	Construction Costs: Metal: 10000 Silver: 500 Glass: 1000
A high-pollution reactor that uses uranium as a fuel source to recharge the power cell. Pretty efficient, but irradiates everyone in and near the exosuit, making it dangerous to use.
Function: Burns Uranium Sheets inserted into it to produce power. To pickup a uranium sheet, activate the generator as the active module, then click a uranium sheet on the ground. Consumes 30 cm^3 of Uranium per second to charge up the power cell. Consumes 10 cm^3 of Uranium per second instead, when the power cell is full. Does not auto deactivate. Each Uranium sheet contains 2000cm^3 of Uranium, and so will run the generator for 66 seconds per sheet. While running, produces 50W of power per second. Irradiates everyone nearby while running, 0.3 radiation per second. This affects people inside the exosuit too, making it extremely dangerous to use.
Notes: Wear radiation-proof gear when piloting an exosuit with this module. It can be useful as a weapon to irradiate people around you that you don't like.

Repair Droid
Category: General	Power Consumption: 50
