*[[Engineering hardsuit]]. This is a must have if you plan to go into space for some reason. Since there is only two of these provided in the suit storage units, make sure to only take them if you really need them. Walking around in a hardsuit just in case is considered [[powergaming]] and also annoys other engineers who might actually need the suit. The hardsuits provide decent but not total protection from radiation. | *[[Engineering hardsuit]]. This is a must have if you plan to go into space for some reason.

*[[Radiation suit]]. Available from the radiation suit closets. You need this if you have to work near a [[Radiation collector array]] or the [[Particle accelerator]] while the singularity is active. | *[[Radiation suit]].

*[[Metal]] is the most commonly needed material. You can build every kind of things out of it. You can find metal in [[Engineering storage]], [[Engineering secure storage]], [[EVA]] and [[Auxiliary Tool Storage]]. Cargo can get you more if you run out. Metal can be turned into [[metal rods]], another commonly needed material. | |||
*[[Glass]] is mostly needed to make windows. Can be found at the same areas as metal. | |||
*[[Plasteel]] is mostly needed to build or repair reinforced walls. Not much is available on the station so only take it if you need it. | |||
*[[Cable coil]] is required to lay power wires and to build most electronic equipment. You have one coil in your toolbelt and you can get more from the YouTool in engineering. Also a lot of these are scattered around the station. | |||
*A [[power control module]] is needed to build or repair [[APC]]s on the station. It is handy to have one on you. | |||
*[[Airlock electronics]] is an essential component in [[Airlock]]s which often get broke and need a replacement. You can set required access level by clicking it in your hand and swiping it with your ID. | |||
*You are sometimes required to build new [[Computer]]s or [[Machine]]s. Components for these can be found in [[Tech storage]]. | |||
