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

  • 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

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.

Making a Cyborg

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.

Spiderbot

Spiderbots are temporary bodies for brains.

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.

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

Cyborg Component Repair

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

Human Prosthetic Repair

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

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.

Resetting Modules

Once a player Cyborg chooses a module (Engineer, Janitor, Security, etc) they cannot change the module without your help.

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.

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.

Internal Cybernetic Manipulation

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

Shadowling Dethrall (Synthethics)

Turning a thralled IPC back into a normal crewmember

Implant Removal (Synthethics)

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

Robotic Limb Repair

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

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

Bots

As a Roboticist, you serve another important purpose, making NPC robots. Robots can benefit the station in many ways, and are really easy to create. The current list of robots, 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.

Cleanbot

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

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.

I AM THE LAW Securitron

Basically, Officer Beepsky without the personality.

ED-209

Beepsky's bigger brother.

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.

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.

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.

Firefighter APLU

The Firefighter APLU (Autonomous Power Loading Unit) is a slow moving, decently protected exosuit with extra fire resistance.

Odysseus

This mech can save multiple crewmembers while on the run.

Gygax

Rather fast security exosuit with good overall protection.

Durand

A Durand is more powerful than Gygax, it has more health and better armored, but slower.

Phazon

Phazons are the most advanced mechs on the market. While it doesn't have as much health as the Gygax or Durand, it allows users to move through solid objects at a very high speed.

HONK MECH

Bring the HONK power of the HONKmother to the crew! HONK! Cry when you are arrested for making this.

Recitence

...

Marauder

Used by the ERT.

Exosuit Maintenance

Replacing Batteries

NOTE: All info below is incorrect in some form. Please do not refer to it to anything more than to learn basic functions and mechanics of a piece of equipment, do not refer to listed stats.

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.
