Revision as of 12:42, 22 April 2023 by Sweeper~Storm(talk | contribs)(budget insuls work perfectly but only twice instead of being RNG shocking you more or less.)
Your character has the following slots that are always available:
Glasses
Hat
Neck
Mask
Ears
Jumpsuit
External suit
Gloves
Shoes
Back
Jumpsuit unlocks for you:
ID slot
Belt
Pockets
And external suit unlocks for you an external suit storage.
Contents of your pockets are not visible for others, but if someone tries to empty them you do not get a message unless you move. Pockets can hold tiny and small items. They can also hold mining satchel, despite it being a normal-sized item.
If you have a storage item in one of your slots, you can click on it to open it. If you want to take it to your hand, drag it to the hand slot with your mouse. You can also drag an item to your character on the map to open it. This will work with a pill bottle in your pocket, for example, or if you have something in your hands.
Damage protection
There are several types of damage in the game. Various pieces of clothing offer protection for the body parts they cover.
Melee
Bullet
Laser
Energy
Bomb
Biological
Radiation
Temperature protection
Some pieces of clothing offer protection from high/low temperatures. High-temperature protection is needed when everything is on fire. Low-temperature protection is needed when you are in space or very close to being in space. Items only protect body parts they cover.
Jumpsuits
Having a jumpsuit is extremely important. Without a jumpsuit you will not have an ID slot, a belt slot, or any pocket slots. The jumpsuit is also useful in identifying your department at a glance, and so can be used as part of a disguise.
In addition, jumpsuits now have a full suite of sensors that can be toggled and adjusted by right-clicking on it. They can give out data to the bridge including your location, your health, and your mortality. Some jumpsuits made to be practical will offer minor protection, which will be noted in it's description. For example, the virologist's jumpsuit has minor projection to biohazards, while the Head of Security's will have a small amount of protection from blunt trauma. Plasmaman jumpsuits prevent plasmamen from being on fire when worn with a plasmaman helmet.
A bit different from the others is the prisoner's jumpsuit. In addition to its distinctive colour, its suit sensors are always on maximum.
You can wash a jumpsuit in a washing machine with a crayon to paint it.

Description
The jet pack is a backpack slot item filled with either Carbon Dioxide or Oxygen.

This item allows one to maneuver in a frictionless environment by firing either an expendable gas or a precious air supply out the back. Two black jetpacks filled with CO2 spawn in EVA. Syndicate operatives start with compact Oxygen-filled harnesses. The Captain has a unique oxygen-filled jetpack.
For proper use of a jetpack, remember these simple rules:
Black jetpacks are filled with carbon dioxide by default. Using these jetpacks as internals will knock you unconscious and suffocate you.
Refill blue jetpacks with oxygen, not air (if you wish to use it for your internals, otherwise fill with any gas).
Always set it to 16-25 pressure if you aren't using the emergency mask from your starting box. If you still have that, hurry up and find something else!
Always toggle it on when you want to move or need to move quickly, but toggle stabilization off if you're just drifting so as to not waste your supply and remain untrackable.
Most jetpacks are too bulky to be stowed in a backpack.
Hardsuits can be upgraded to have an integrated jetpack, which works with a gas tank in the suit storage slot. Advanced hardsuits start off with one of these installed.
Void Jet Packs may also be found in [REDACTED], which are filled with oxygen.
