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.

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.

File:IED.PNG Improvised Explosive Device (IED)

1 x Soda Can, 1 x  , File:FuelTank.PNG, 1 x
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 x ,  , 1 x  , 1 x , 1 x Plasma Tank

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.
