Suit sensors
Having a Jumpsuit is extremely important. Without a jumpsuit, you won't have an ID slot, a belt slot, any pocket slots, or the PDA slot. Jumpsuits have a full suite of sensors that can be toggled and adjusted by right-clicking on it. They can give out data to the Bridge and Medbay. Depending on the #Settings, starting with your mortality, to your health, and lastly your location. Used by the Chief Medical Officer and other Heads of Staff to locate you in case you go missing.

- Vital Tracker: Tells them what your vital statistics are. Separates damage by Suffocation, Toxin, Burn, and Brute.
- Tracking Beacon: The maximum level. Tells them what area of the station you're currently in, and your co-ordinate location.
