JUST REFER TO THE CRAFTING TABLE IN GAME. IT'S THE T IN THE RIGHT HAND CORNER.

Makeshift constructions are weaponry or equipment that can be made with relatively common and low tech items. However they are significantly less effective than more modern and effective Security Items. However these items can prove to be very useful in a pinch and can surprise even the most hardy of people. Several of these items are Contraband, so be careful.

Construction

Makeshift Crossbow

The makeshift crossbow is a moderately powerful ranged weapon that fires metal rods. Once assembled, click on the weapon with a metal rod in your hand to load it, and click on the weapon (or press the use key, X or Y) to begin pulling the string back. The further the string is pulled back, the more damage the shot will inflict. If the shot fired is powerful enough and the target is next to a wall, there's a chance that the target may be pinned to the wall. Adding a power cell increases the power of the crossbow.

Note: It is a known bug that Makeshift Crossbows don't work right now, so making them is a waste of time.

Requires
5 Wooden Planks 3 Metal Rods 10 Cable Coil 3 Plastic 1 Screwdriver 1 Power cell (Optional)

Crafting
Get 5 wooden planks and make a crossbow frame. Add 3 metal rods and weld them. Add 5 pieces of cable. Add 3 sheets of plastic Add 5 more pieces of cable Screwdriver the assembly OPTIONAL Add a power cell.

File:Cablecuffs.PNG Cablecuffs

Cable cuffs are makeshift handcuffs. They are easier to break out of but still function as normal handcuffs. You need at least 15 coils.

Requires
15 Cable Coil Units
Crafting Interact with the Cable Coil in your hands and select "Make Cable Restraints".

Spear

The spear is a makeshift melee weapon which, in essence, really isn't that great.

Requires
1 Metal Rod
1 Cable Coil.
1 Glass Shard.
Crafting Make Cable Restraints from the Cable Coil. Use the Rods on the Cable Restraints. Use the Glass Shard on the Wired Rod.

File:Stunprod.PNG Stunprod

The Stunprod is a makeshift Stun Baton which consumes much more battery life and stuns for less when used, it will keep a target down for about five seconds which is enough time to slap some cuffs on. Expect to get thrown in the brig if caught with this weapon by Security. It is possible to recharge a Stunprod after depleting its power supply, simply use a Screwdriver on the prod to remove the Power Cell and either replace it with a fresh cell or put the dead cell in a Cell Charger.

While the Stunprod is great for selfdefence it deal poor damage to targets, best usage of the Stunprod is to subdue your target or use it to get distance between yourself and the target.

Requires
1 Metal Rod.
1 Igniter.
1 Cable Coil.
1 Power Cell.
Crafting Make Cable Restraints from the Cable Coil. Use the Rods on the Cable Restraints Use the Igniter on the Rods Use the Power Cell on the assembled rod. =========Alternatively============= Collect all components and place on a table Click and drag the table to your sprite Select "Stunprod" and wait a few seconds

File:IED.PNG Improvised Explosive Device (IED)

The IED is an explosive made out of a soda can. It is extremely weak, and can not be expected to cause any structural damage or injure someone. It has a random timer between 3 and 8 seconds, so use it wisely!

Requires
1 Soda Can.
1 Igniter.
1 Welding Fuel Tank.
1 Cable Coils.
Crafting Use the Igniter on the can. Use the assembly on a Fuel Tank. Use the Cable Coil on the assembly.

File:Flamethrower.png Flamethrower

It creates a stream of flame that superheats the air and causes those caught in the flame to catch on fire. It has a range of about three tiles and is most effective against alien weeds and space vines; while very effective against the aforementioned two infestations, the flamer is at best a suppression weapon against human targets and at worst a suicide attack to yourself. You are better off using a Stun Prod or a Toolbox to do direct damage, however the flamethrower is great for area denial, AoE attacks, and damage done over time (both from catching on fire and the hot state that it leaves the surrounding air in). When using a flamethrower either wear a Firesuit to protect you against the high heat or move back as soon as you fire the weapon.

May simply cause masses of plasma to be spewed everywhere if the pressure settings are too high.

Requires
1 Metal Rod.
1 Screwdriver.
1 Welder.
1 Igniter.
1 Plasma Tank.
Crafting Screwdriver the Welder Add rods to the Welder to create the Flamethrower Screwdriver the Igniter Add the Igniter to the Flamethrower Screwdriver to finish Load a Plasma Tank =========Alternatively============= Put the Welder, Rods, and Igniter on a table Hold a screwdriver Click and drag the table to yourself Select "Flamethrower" Load a Plasma Tank

You can also get one from a hacked Autolathe, minus the plasma tank.

It should also be noted that the fuel inside the plasma tank determines the properties of the shot flame. Mixes of plasma and other gases can create different results when using the flamethrower, namely in temperature.

Improvised Shotgun

Essentially a tube that aims shotgun shells.

Requires
1 Modular Receiver.

1 Atmospheric Pipe.
1 Package Wrapper.
1 Screwdriver.
Crafting Make a Modular Receiver from a Protolathe and a Rifle Stock from 10 wooden planks Attach the pipe to the receiver Screwdriver the construction Attach the stock to the construction Use package wrap to finish =========Alternatively============= Collect all the materials Put them on a table Have Screwdriver in hand, drag the table on you and commence crafting and you're done (If you want improvised shells for it, use Technological Shells from the Protolathe)
