+=Easy Guide to Fixing Telecomms=
+The radio stopped working all of a sudden? Or did someone just blow up the tcomms again? Here's a quick checklist-guide to see what's wrong and how to fix it:
+# '''Has it been blown to shit or stolen and thrown into the singulo?'''
+## Go to [[#Can_We_Fix_It?|Can We Fix It]] and follow instructions.
+# '''Equipment off (no pretty lights on the machines)?'''
+## Was there a Central Command Update for something like ''"Ionospheric anomalies detected. Temporary telec#MCi46:5.;@63-BZZZZT"'', if so, wait a few minutes and equipment will come back online automatically.
+## Check APC: Main breaker and equipment should be on. If not, turn them back on.
+## Check equipment with a multitool and see if Power is set to ''on''? If no, turn back on.
+# '''Equipment is on, but still nothing heard through radio?'''
+## Check Telecommunication Hub with a multitool.
+### Network name set to ''tcommsat''? If no, set it back to ''tcommsat'' and...
+#### Go down the Telecommunication Hub's menu until you see ''MULTITOOL BUFFER''.
+#### Click ''[Add Machine]'', the Hub's info is now inside your multitool's memory.
+#### Use multitool on a Subspace Receiver (for example, you will have to do this for every machine anyway).
+#### Scroll down the menu and click ''[Link]'' to link the machine back to the Hub.
+#### Repeat this for every machine (except smes, blackbox recorder, messaging server and computers outside).
+## Check other devices that they have power on and correct network name.
+## Go to Telecommunications Traffic Control Console.
+### Log in.
+### Scan for servers.
+### Click on a server.
+### And see that Signal Execution is set to ''[NEVER]'', so that there's no malicious NTSL script blocking information.
+### Go back to main menu and repeat steps for all servers.
