| Description | |
|
Holds all standard tools and has as much space as a toolbox. Very useful. Does no damage as a weapon. Starts without tools, you must find tools for it. | |
Optical Meson Scanner
Allows you to see structures that would normally be obscured by walls or lack of light. Cannot see creatures or objects like tables and chairs, though.
Mining has a few sets of these, but Engineering basically always has at least one.
Use these to view hull breaches from safety or watch in horror as an Assistant crowbars up all of your precious floor tiles. These are imperative in mining as they allow you to see and hone in on any ores on screen.
Does no damage as a weapon.
File:Cellcharger.pngCell Charger
Place power cells into these to charge them up. Can be secured and unsecured using a wrench.
This is a slow process, and takes more time for higher charges. They can be found in Cargo Bay, Engineering, and Robotics, as well as in some Maintenance storage areas. You don't need to use this with cyborg cells, as they can just go into the cyborg charger. Beware in lower power situations, if the Singularity Engine is knocked out, and the Solars were never connected, cell chargers will assist in draining the power from the station since they have the same demand as an APC when charging the cell.
Power Cell
Used to power APC's, cyborgs, and various electrical equipment. Comes in three varieties, standard, high capacity, and super capacity. Does 10 brute damage.
Cable Coil
Superconducting heavy duty wires.
Cable coils are normally found in threes in electrical toolboxes, which are mostly located in abundance in engineering. There is some also in tool storage, and loose cabling in EVA and Technical Storage. You can create cable coils in Autolathes, and in a pinch you can cut wiring using wire-cutters to create pieces of wire to join together to form cable coils. Recommended to wear insulated gloves, or you may get a bit of a shock.
Wire is a common resource, and is used in many constructions as well as laying down power-lines. Make sure all APC's are connected to the main lines with wires, or you'll have black-outs.
Does no damage.
Wirecutters
Cut wires of all types! Either on the floor or in machines, also cuts grilles with ease.
Does 6 brute damage.
Welding Tool
You can cut all manner of things apart, from lockers (open locker, click while lit) to walls. Or you can weld shut doors and lockers. It is useless when out of fuel, except to smash open windows and for some reason do some cutting jobs that really should require a flame, and must be lit to do anything useful!
Warning: It can cause fires from flammable gases in the air when lit.
There is an industrial version of the welding tool that has double the fuel-capacity of the normal welding tools, though these are only obtained in Engineering's Welding lockers.
It deals a lot of damage to people that have no fire protection. Does 15 burn damage if it's on and 3 brute damage if it's off.
REMEMBER: Use common sense when refuelling this. Refuelling the welding tool when it is lit may cause an explosion.
File:Flamethrower.pngFlamethrower
Not a standard tool. An ineffective weapon made from a welding tool, some spare parts, and a plasma tank. It creates a stream of flame that briefly super-heats the surrounding air with a jet of flaming-hot Plasma gas and might make someone catch fire. It has a short range and is most effective against alien weeds, Blobs and cornered victims mice.
May simply cause masses of plasma to be spewed everywhere if the pressure settings are too high. Currently broken.
To build: Use screwdriver on igniter, and then screwdriver on welder, attach rods to welder, add igniter to the assembly, use a screwdriver on it and finish with adding a Plasma-filled tank. Can also be made in a hacked Autolathe.
Wrench
Wrenches are usually used to take things apart, like wall-girders or tables. Only certain objects use them in the process of construction. They either fasten or take apart bolts most of the time.
Does 5 damage.
Screwdriver
Take this tool to screw and unscrew all sorts of things.
Aiming for the eyes does a special attack which can cause blindness, doing 7 brute damage. Otherwise does 5 brute damage.
Analyzer
Most people take it and throw it out. It's mostly used for scanning the surrounding air which PDA's do as well, but can also be used in combination with a remote signaling device to disable anomalies when you scan the anomaly. Does a mere 5 brute damage when thrown at someone.
Multitool
The multitool is for hacking. You pulse wires in any machine or door to see what they do, but make sure it doesn't electrify it. Can also be used to check the amount of power going through a cable.
Does 5 brute damage.
Flashlight
It sheds light when you click on it, even if it's on your belt or in your pocket. The light sources stack to create brighter light sources, so if you have a flashlight in your belt, a flashlight in both pockets, and a flashlight in each hand, along with a hardhat on your head, you will SHINE LIKE THE SUN, LEAVING EVERY DARK CORNER EXPOSED TO TRUTH. Can be used to tell if something's dead or not, with a simple flash of the eyes.
Does no damage. Can blind someone for a very short time if aiming for the eyes and it's turned on.
File:Walkie Talkie.pngStation Bounced Radio
If Telecomms has gone down and the headset radios don't work any more, just use one of these instead of an intercom if you want to be on-the-move all the time.
Fire Extinguisher
Switch the safety off, point, and click to unleash a fire-killing spray. Also useful to smash-down windows in a hurry, and changing directions when in space.
T-Ray Scanner
The T-ray Scanner allows you to see through wires and piping through floor tiles. It can cause cloakers to flicker for a fraction of a second before some jerk smashes your head with a gun.
Click on it in your active hand to activate. When activated it will reveal wires and pipes under the flooring which is very useful for finding abnormalities or breaks in them. You can also put it in your belt, or put them in your pockets.
Does no damage when hitting someone. Does 1 brute damage if thrown.
Crowbar
The crowbar can pry open things and is used in de-constructing objects like computers and airlocks. It will open powered-off airlocks and fire-locks. You can use it to remove floor tiles, especially useful when they are damaged or you want to fix something under the floor.
Does 5 brute damage per hit.
Hazard Vest
The hazard vest is found in all over the station. It enables flashlights, tools and emergency oxygen tanks to be stored in it's pockets. It also has mild protective benefits for the Station Engineer or Assistant on the go.
Firesuit
A very thick, bulky and heavy suit designed to go over your jumpsuit. It is used when fighting fires and will protect you against temperature extremes, at the cost of a much slower movement pace. Guaranteed to be in Atmospherics, it's usually better to wear one of those hardsuits instead. However, Station Engineers don't usually fight fires since that's what the Air Janitors are meant to do.
Engineering Hardsuits
Absolutely required during an Engineering E.V.A., the Engineering hardsuit is a useful space suit offering protection from space, radiation, as well as a little heat protection. Also serves as low-strength armour. Wearing the hardsuit will slow you down a fair bit unless in space and wearing activated magnetic boots.
File:Mashoe.pngMagboots
Special boots mostly used when there's air movement, you're in space, or there's no gravity. Sticks you firmly to the ground or nearby structures.
Hard Hat
Protects your head and provides light. Useful for Maintenance tunnels or other dark places when you don't want to wear a hardsuit or hold a flashlight.
Fire Fighter Hat
Protects against heat when used with a fire-suit, comes with an in-built flashlight you can toggle.
Plasma Canister
Contains pure Plasma, a highly flammable gas. Do not leave the release valve on 'open'.
Tank Storage Unit
Full of Plasma and Oxygen tanks, this machine will dispense them quite happily as you request them.
Power-ON cartridge
The cartridge that enables Engineering utilities for the PDA. Comes with several useful features.
Welding Goggles
Goggles to protect your eyes when welding.
Welding Helmet
A helmet to protect your eyes when welding.
Rapid Construction Device (R.C.D.)
Creates walls, doors, floors, and can de-construct almost everything.
Compressed matter cartridge
Fits into an R.C.D. device, full of what's used every time the R.C.D. is used to construct or de-construct something.
Radiation Suit
Protects against radiation, specifically the Singularity Engine or Gravity Generator's radiation.
Intelicard
When directly used on the A.I., this little thing will take it from it's core and instead put it on this card.
Station Blueprints
Allows the ability to add new rooms to the station. Needed for room-specific things like APC's and air alarms.
Plasma Tank
Holds Plasma gas. Usually inserted into the Singularity Engine radiation collectors.
Oxygen Tank
A blue tank with a white stripe around it, signifying an Oxygen tank. Use this with a breath-mask, gas-mask or other breathing apparatus to have internals.
Fuel Tank
Full of welding fuel, this is mostly used to fill-up welding tools. Caution: Do not refill a lit welding tool. Always make sure it's off first, or it will cause an explosion.
Water Tank
A tank with a capacity of roughly 1000 units. Typically seen holding water.
Gas Mask
Allows you to both hide and protect your face, as well as breathe through it assuming you have an oxygen tank with you.
Proximity Sensor
Scans the surrounding area for any movement, which if there is it then activates any attached devices.
File:Infrared sensor.pngInfrared Sensor
Detects any infrared beams that come in contact with it.
File:Infrared beam.pngInfrared Beam
This is used to produce an infrared beam. Typically used in combination with an infrared sensor.
Remote Signaling Device
Sends a specified code on a selected frequency, two devices on the same frequency with different codes will never contact each-other, and is therefore brilliant for uses when you want no-one else to be able to signal it. Can be used in combination with an analyzer to disable anomalies.
Timer
When turned on, if the specified time it has been given is reached, activates any attached devices. Useless on it's own.
Igniter
Attempts to ignite whatever it is used on.
Engineering Books
The four user guide books: "Particle Accelerator user's Guide", "Singularity Safety in Special Circumstances", "Station Repairs and Construction", and "Hacking". Found all over the station. For an unknown reason, the majority of them are blank.

This device is used in the Singularity Engine to generate a singularity. It only does this when pelted by the Particle Accelerator with charged particles.
File:Shield generator.pngShield Generator
When turned-on and also charged, this generates a force-field.
Shield Capacitor
This is used to charge a Shield Generator.
Emitter
Shoots a beam of pure heat, getting hit by this when it's on will burn you rather severely. Mostly seen in the Singularity Engine or when fighting Blobs.
File:Field Generator.pngField Generator
Generates an energy field that is impassable, but requires constant charging by Emitters.
File:Emergency Shield Projector.pngEmergency Shield Projector
Projects a less powerful version of the force-field made by the Field Generator and does not need an emitter to operate. Useful for hull-breaches.
