Introduction

Welcome to a guide to toxins, this is not a guide made by a professional but by someone willing to remake a years out of date guide. If you do not know, Toxins is the place in science that makes bombs and or maxcaps by using a burn chamber to heat Plasma and or Tritium. In this guide, we will be making a Tritium maxcap. This guide will be in YogBox, so some intuition may be needed on other stations.

Your tools

The default toxins setup, while usable, is ineffective in making what we want and as such will require some rearranging. To do this we will need a:

Wrench: to fix mistakes and secure canisters
Analyzer: to check the gases in pipes and canisters
Rapid Pipe Dispenser (RPD): to make new pipes. You can change what pipes it makes by clicking on it while it’s in your active hand

All of these should already be in toxins, so there is no need to hassle someone else for them.

Adjusting Toxins

Play spot the difference basically.

Part of the burn chamber is an input and output pipe that give and take out gasses of the burn chamber respectively, each with their own issues.

Output

The output pipe is simple to adjust, all you must do is replace the manual valve and gas pump with a volume pump and pipe, ensure the volume pump is on, pumping to the east, and on max

Input

The input pipe is a bit trickier, first, the manual valve must be replaced with a manifold pipe facing west-north-east and directly north of that, another manifold pipe north-east-south, attached to the manifold pipe should be two connectors on the north and east side. Finally, replace the southern gas pump with a manual valve and made sure it is closed. Essentially, this setup allows much of the gases to go in all at once for a better burn and while the output dumps as much as it can into the Tritium canister.

Mixing

Next, we will fix the gas mixer.

The only thing needed to do is to replace the pipe under the gas flow meter with a gas mixer that connects to the pipes next to it and faces south. Open the mixer’s menu and set Node 1 to 4% and Node 2 to 96%, set the output pressure to the max, and turn the mixer ON. It may be worth taking the southern connector and attaching it directly to the mixer output rather than having a pipe separating the two, but it is not necessary.

Once the mixer is setup grab a plasma canister, wrench it on to the northmost connector, grab an Oxygen canister, wrench it onto the middle connector, and grab an empty canister and of course, wrench it onto the southmost connecter.

Fun Fact: You can relabel the colour and name of the canister but pressing the ‘relabel’ function in their menu, this means that you can keep track of which canister has what gas and also that any canister can have any gas.

Mixing Gases

Assuming you connected all the canisters in the right positions, you are now putting a mix of gasses into the caution canister. The actual mix is 4% Plasma and 96% Oxygen, and it is impossible to explain why and what this will do as the atmospherics code is based on nearly two decades of spaghetti and duct tape.

None the less, we will need three full canisters of this mix which will also require more Oxygen canisters as well. The actual max limit of what a canister can handle is infinite, but for our intents, they can only go up to 4500kPa; it is not necessary to reach this limit but as close as you can. Do note that you can use empty oxygen canisters and fill them with a mix as well.

Once three mix canisters have been filled, grab an empty canister and set it to the end of the output pipe, it’s also best to relabel it to a Tritium canister though it is not necessary. Once the Tritium canister is in place, check to make sure that the southern manual valve is closed and wrench the mix canisters on the input pipe’s connectors.

Now we will prep the actual chamber. First, we will depressurize the chamber by pressing the blast door button, waiting a few seconds, and closing them again. Then press lighter button next to the door. Go ahead and press the blast door button once more, don't forget to close it again.

Making Tritium

Expand this.

Now’s the fun and relatively automatic part, making and heating the Tritium. Go to the Air Alarm by the burn chamber’s airlock doors, access its menu, go into scrubbers, and set the one and the only scrubber to ON, expanded, turn on Tritium, and turn off Carbon Dioxide. This will set the scrubber to ONLY scrub out Tritium, which is what we want. Once everything is set all that’s needed is it to open the manual valve and watch the gases burn.

If you’re not curious about what’s happening, skip this paragraph.
For those who remain, it is worth noting that as in real life, most things require Oxygen to explode and burn. As you might imagine Plasma is no different, but what is interesting to note is that the plasma burning is creating H3 or Tritium, which is great for fusion energy both in the game and in real life. Once the Tritium is formed the scrubber is automatically and selectively siphoning it out and into the output pipe and since the Tritium was made by burning Plasma it’s already hot.

Making the Bomb

Once this burn is completed you should be able to scan the Tritium canister and get ~22mols or ~2200kPa (Some of that may be water vapour). This is enough to make a few bombs.

To make the bomb we’ll be taking the heated Tritium and some Oxygen, putting them both in their individual tanks, and combining them in a setup that will combine the two on our command.

First, take an oxygen tank from the tank dispenser and go to your likely last full Oxygen canister. Take the oxygen tank and put it in the canister, open the canisters menu, set the pressure to the max, open the valve, wait for the oxygen tank to fill, close the valve, and eject your now full oxygen tank.

Next, take a plasma tank and fill it up with Tritium just like you did with the oxygen tank, and yes, we do want the Plasma that is already in the plasma tank.

Then take two remote signaling devices and set them both to the same frequency. Do NOT set them to the default frequency or someone with another remote signaling device could set your bomb off early.

Now that we have everything we need, we will make the bomb:

Take a tank transfer valve, there should be some on the table in toxins
Add the oxygen tank and Plasma/Tritium tank to the tank transfer valve
At this point, it is a bomb, be careful not to set it off or you will explode.
Screwdriver one of the remote signaling devices, it should say that it’s ready to be attached
Attach the device to the tank transfer valve/bomb so that you can detonate it on your signal. Keep the other one on you.

Explosions

Congrats, you now have a bomb you can set off at any moment now.

It’s best to say this now, do NOT blow up random parts of the station. If you want to blow something up, be it because you are a Traitor, there is a Blob, you want to invade Reebe, or some other reason, Adminhelp an admin before you detonate your bomb to make sure you have permission to do so, else you will be banned.

Obviously, the bomb testing site is an exception to this rule which we will be using in this guide.

Go over to the eastern room launch room that gives you a good view into space. In here you will launch, detonate, and scan the bomb.

All that’s needed it to place the bomb in the mass driver, press the launch button, check the camera to see if the bomb is clear to explode, and then send the signal to detonate it.

The tachyon-doppler array will automatically scan the explosion down and give some points to research. If you check back at the testing site you should see it is only barely there now, admire your new found work and try not to think about blowing up the rest of the station.

So what now?

Weeeelllll… not much actually. The note about how you shouldn’t blow anything up without ahelping is probably the most important thing is the guide, that’s because the devastation you can cause with these bombs is massive. You might be able to hand one off to the miners so they have a bit easier time mining, but really unless you have a bomb target, there isn’t much to do.

-=Help I'm a antagonist, but I don't understand what I need to do!=
+Next, we will fix the gas mixer.
-First what you need to do is go to [[Game Mode]] and see what you are. If you are a traitor, go to the Traitor game mode. If you are Changeling, go to Changeling game mode, etc. If you have found your game mode you simply click on the title and you'll be redirected to the adjacent antagonist page.

The actual max limit of what a [[canister]] can handle is infinite, but for our intents, they can only go up to 4500kPa; it is not necessary to reach this limit but as close as you can. Do note that you can use empty oxygen canisters and fill them with a mix as well.
-Stand next to the person, click & drag their character onto yours, a list of their stuff appears, click on one of their items to take it off. Or, if you have an item in your active hand, click on the slot where you wish to put the item.

Once the [[Guide_to_Atmospherics#Tritium|Tritium]] [[canister]] is in place, check to make sure that the southern manual valve is closed and wrench the mix canisters on the input pipe’s connectors.
-=How do I commit suicide?=
+Now we will prep the actual chamber.
-Type 'suicide' and hit enter. Remember that you cannot be cloned if you suicide! Suicide is considered an action which says that you don't want to play this round. As such it is an [[Out of Character|OOC]] action.
+First, we will depressurize the chamber by pressing the blast door button, waiting a few seconds, and closing them again. Then press <font color="magenta">lighter button</font> next to the door.
+Go ahead and press the <font color="blue">blast door button</font> once more, '''don't forget to close it again.'''

+Now’s the fun and relatively automatic part, making and heating the [[Guide_to_Atmospherics#Tritium|Tritium]]. Go to the [[Air Alarm]] by the burn chamber’s airlock doors, access its menu, go into scrubbers, and set the one and the only scrubber to ON, expanded, turn on [[Guide_to_Atmospherics#Tritium|Tritium]], and turn off [[Guide_to_Atmospherics#CO2|Carbon Dioxide]].

-=How do I eat something?=
+''If you’re not curious about what’s happening, skip this paragraph.''<br>For those who remain, it is worth noting that as in real life, most things require [[Oxygen]] to explode and burn.

-As with most items, pick up the food with an empty hand and then click on your character. Make sure you're on "Help Intent" otherwise you might end up smashing yourself with food.
-Also if you are wearing a mask (internals, gas mask, etc) you will have to remove it before you can eat.
-=How do I buckle/unbuckle on a chair?=
+{| class="wikitable"
-Click and drag your character onto the chair. To unbuckle, click on the chair you are buckled to with an empty hand.

+=Making the Bomb=
+Once this burn is completed you should be able to scan the [[Guide_to_Atmospherics#Tritium|Tritium]] [[canister]] and get ~22mols or ~2200kPa (Some of that may be [[Guide_to_Atmospherics#Water_vapour|water vapour]]). This is enough to make a few bombs.
-==Roundstart/OOC/Out of Character==
+To make the bomb we’ll be taking the heated [[Guide_to_Atmospherics#Tritium|Tritium]] and some [[Oxygen]], putting them both in their individual tanks, and combining them in a setup that will combine the two on our command.
-=Why can't I play as some jobs?=
+First, take an [[oxygen tank]] from the tank dispenser and go to your likely last full [[Oxygen]] [[canister]]. Take the [[oxygen tank]] and put it in the [[canister]], open the canisters menu, set the pressure to the max, open the valve, wait for the [[oxygen tank]] to fill, close the valve, and eject your now full [[oxygen tank]].
-New players are forbidden from taking jobs which are vital to normal round progression until they've been on the server for long enough. This is to avoid an inexperienced player choosing to be the Captain or AI and messing up the round for everyone.
-=I have another question, where do I ask?=
+Next, take a [[plasma tank]] and fill it up with [[Guide_to_Atmospherics#Tritium|Tritium]] just like you did with the [[oxygen tank]], and yes, we do want the [[Plasma]] that is already in the [[Atmospherics items#Plasma_tank|plasma tank]].
-You can mentorhelp it (mentor tab top left > "mentorhelp" > state your issue) in-game, or use the LOOC-command in-game to talk to players (press L), or ask on the forums, or ask in the IRC. Don't worry about the formatting and stuff. Just click edit and write your question there.
-==BYOND and Server Hosting==
+Then take two remote signaling devices and set them both to the same frequency. '''Do NOT set them to the default frequency or someone with another remote signaling device could set your bomb off early.'''
-Sometimes you just can't figure out how to do certain stuff like server hosting, mapping. Here are your Q&As relating those.
-=Where can I go to get map files to host a server?=
+Now that we have everything we need, we will make the bomb:
-See here [[Downloading the source code]] or click the 'Host a server' link on the left.
-=Is BYOND/SS13 Ressources or Network intensive ? I can't seem to connect to the servers from Europe, with a recent computer.=
+#Take a tank transfer valve, there should be some on the table in toxins<br>
-When you first connect, you need to download the 30MB or so resource file from the server. This is the bulk of network activity and can take a while. Once downloaded, the game does not take much network to run. In terms of PC performance, byond itself is mostly just a front-end to the game with very little work being done on it, so you should be able to run SS13 on essentially any computer made in this millennium. It is however very resource intensive on the server side, generally requiring a full modern CPU core to itself. This is however only important if you wish to run your own server. See this thread for more help on the connecting issue: [https://tgstation13.org/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=3678&p=90057#p90040 Unable to Connect]. Make a post if you aren't able to connect.
+#Add the [[oxygen tank]] and [[Plasma]]/[[Guide_to_Atmospherics#Tritium|Tritium]] tank to the tank transfer valve<br>
+#At this point, it is a bomb, be careful not to set it off or you will explode.<br>

+#Attach the device to the tank transfer valve/bomb so that you can detonate it on your signal. Keep the other one on you.
-=I want to do my own Map but can't figure out how!=
+=Explosions=
-Mapping might be intensive for people, that never knew how to work with BYOND. But there is an answer to your prayers! Simply check out the [[Mapping|Guide to mapping]] Guide.
+[[File:Toxins9.png|225px|right|thumb]]
+Congrats, you now have a bomb you can set off at any moment now.
-=I am an Artist and want to make sprites for this game, where do I do it?=
+'''It’s best to say this now, do NOT blow up random parts of the station.''' If you want to blow something up, be it because you are a [[Traitor]], there is a [[Blob]], you want to invade [[Clockwork Cult|Reebe]], or some other reason, [[Adminhelp]] an admin before you detonate your bomb to make sure you have permission to do so, else you will be banned.
-This might be obvious, but we don't use high resolution pictures aand use 32x32px. For more please check out the [[Spriting|Guide to spriting]] guide.
-== My question isn't listed and I can't find the answer on the wiki! ==
+Obviously, the bomb testing site is an exception to this rule which we will be using in this guide.
-If you ever need a question answered, you can always click the Mentorhelp button in game (pictured below) or you can ask in the #mentor-public channel on our Discord. '''Make sure that when you ask questions in our Discord to not reveal <u>any</u> information about the ongoing round.'''
