The the old archived thread has been looked through onwards from about the start of year 2013 so these things SHOULD be up to date. If some of them are not, feel free to remove them. Everyone is free to add their awesome stuff in the proper category!
If some info is not up to date, or is duplicated, feel free to remove them. Everyone is free to add their awesome stuff!

* Some things that are normally static and dispense when clicked on (paperboxes, donut boxes) can be picked up by dragging to your character, which will put them in your active hand should it be empty. Wonderful bonus for security officers needing to centralize their donut stock or arms-dealer cultists when they're mass-producing stun and teleport runes.

* You can drag two things at once, as long as one of them can have the grab intent used on it. Ctrl-click one and grab intent the other. Very useful in Xenobiology where you're trying to drag a bunch of monkey or slime corpses at the same time. You can do something similar with non-grabbable things with telekinesis and ctrl clicking. Added: You can actually move 3 things with grabs-switch to the other hand. If this stop you from pulling, then it's only 2 things.
* You can right-click on a tile to see what area it is assigned to. If you can't see it, then you're looking at an area you are not in. If you can see it, then you are in that area. Good for locating where shuttles will dock, or where a pod used to be.

* Many AI's don't know that you can scrub out toxins by toggling it on from the air alarm.
* AIs (and maybe borgs as well) can flicker lights by clicking them. Not as effective as spamming the Lights button on the APC ofcourse, unless the room only has one light.

* AIs can turn off the APC power or just equipment power. Now, this seems like such an obvious thing, but when an AI actually realizes that it can easily do this, a whole range of options for interacting with the world open up. For instance, the PC Special, as I call it; lockdown and depower the brig and cap's office when we really, really do actually need to be leaving. Chemistry or other high-risk areas, if a traitor busts in or something, can just be temporarily depowered. Etc, etc. Such a basic AI power and a lot of AIs and crew forget that you can do it.

* When AI, tune one of your intercomms to 135.3(Command channel, speakers only) and one to something like 144.1 or 144.3(Speakers only) and then go around the station turning every intercom to that freq with mike on. You gain an instant spy network that allows you to see far more than you usually do. ADDED: Disable the intercom's speaker and enable the microphone.

* The best place to hide is the labour camp as AI just have a beacon there have your borg take your core to AI upload and teleport there before going delta and nobody will know any better.
** Also another thing unbolted AI's can be put through the teleporter so que everyone easily sending the AI across the station using the teleporter as a means of fast travel.


====Against a Malfunctioning AI====
* A malf AI can hack borgs via the robotics control console and give them the emagged equipment.
 
* Upgrading the cyborg recharge stations with better capacitors or power cell will increase the charging speed. Upgrading the manipulator will repair the cyborg! Convince the Scientists to do this as soon as possible if you are a rogue or malfuctioning AI. Self repair and fast charging for the borgs is critical for raising an army using the borging machine. It is also helpful for repairing the poor mining borgs that get trashed by the asteriod monsters.
 
* Door crushing does quite some damage. Use it when you're malf or subverted, it also stuns people and you can kill them rather quickly.
** Also, shutters and blast doors also crush.

* Cutting power to the powernet is the difference between a malf AI making every door a death trap or a laughable 6 damage stun.

* Emagged Engiborgs get an electrified arm, which stuns when you touch something with it. This stun works on other cyborgs. ....but you can already stun other cyborgs with your flash. The stuttering it produces, however, is hilarious. Try zapping the AI with it.

* When you recharge, your flash, coil of wire and other items will be repaired/replenished. The same goes for things like metal and wires for engiborgs. So basically any finite material a borg has can be replenished by recharging.

* Cyborgs can close doors extremely quickly by having something activated in one of your three slots. This closes it like you were a normal person with access who clicked it with their bare hands. Saves you opening up a window and then clicking 'Close door' and such. Also, shut the door behind you if you're entering somewhere important like EVA for christs sake.

* Cyborgs use less power the less items the have in slots. Long trips around the station become much cheaper chargewise if you empty your slots first.
** All borgs can unlock themselves in the borg tab. I am not sure if it relocks you automatically.
** Engiborgs can crowbar themselves open and closed but they cannot weld themselves.
** Engiborgs can act as healers if other borgs act as tanks.
** The service borg's shaker does not work like a regular shaker anymore. It's a synthesizer now. This means it becomes substantially more complicated to mix incapacitating drinks for fighting anything.
** There is a camera in each borg that lets anyone - with access to camera console - see what you see, as long as you are on the same Z-level (not sure about mining z-level). I am not sure if this works when you are destroyed.
** For the love of god make sure that you have :b and not ;b on when talking about malf things.

* If you buddy up with a traitor Chef, you can let him put various deadly plants in their food, making for a meal to die for.
* If you buddy up with a traitor Chef, you can let him put various deadly plants in their food, making for a meal to die for.
* You can directly fertilize your trays with plants. Take what you harvest, or possibly any food (it works with donuts, for instance), click on a seed tray with it. Instant compost!
* Use the biogenerator, feed it plants and shit and you can make all three types of fertilizer, very helpful when your vendors run out of robust harvest.
** You can also make meat and milk with the biogenerator, as well as toolbelts, wallets, leather satchels, and botanist gloves.
* You can do non-species mutations with only 2 units of uranium or radium. 5 units gets you a stronger mutation, but still non-species.
** Remember you can boost a plant back to health long past its normal lifespan by providing lots of nutriment or healing drugs. Composting lots of grass into it is totally valid. Doesn't work once it's actually dead though.
* Hatchets instakill kudzu, but scythes will violate them up the ass thanks to its 3x3 range. Goats eat any kudzu they walk over instantly.
* Not that game changing but if you like building things, Poker tables are not just a mapping object, you can create them by using grass on wooden table parts.
==[[File:Botanist.png]] Traitor Botanist==
* The water mister is basically a beaker. However, unlike a beaker, it can hold an absolutely ridiculous amount of reagents, 500 units. Pretty sure that's enough to husk someone instantly if you fill it with poly.
* Chemists with a plant tray, or botanists with a chemdispenser, can make kudzu:
** Use sugar to raise the weed level to 6 or above.
** Spam mutagen like mad. Theres a 1 in 10 chance your tray will mutate into a rare weed, either deathnettle, angel, kudzu or something else I forget. Reproduce it till you get 30-40 seeds and spam them everywhere.
* How to Get 100 Potency Bananas And Terrify Everybody:
# Acquire the clown's banana. IT MUST BE THE CLOWN'S STARTING BANANA -- the ones in the vending machine are bugged and their stats don't even contain potency, which is why they are so tiny. Clown's banana starts at around 50. Best way to do this is to PDA the clown and promise him free banana enlargement.
# Get mutagen AND A DROPPER. The dropper is the most important part. You only need one or two bottles.
# Put the banana in the seed extractor. It will produce one seed.
# Plant the seed. Do not worry that the plant shows up as low health, you will fix this soon.
# Set the dropper to transfer 2 units of mutagen. Drop 2 units onto the plant. This removes all non-stat mutations -- no weed mutations, no pest mutations, and most importantly of all no killing your plant. You can also do 1 unit, but 2 units gets the job done faster (well, technically with more standard deviation, but normally faster.)
# Repeat until you have 100 potency and a good configuration of stats. Don't worry if potency drops to 0, it's random, just keep mutating. The stats you care most about are potency (obviously), yield (how many bananas you harvest -- you want something nonzero, but obviously more is better) and production (how long it takes before the bananas are ready to harvest -- lower is better.) The other two stats you care about are endurance and lifespan -- the higher is better, and generally they go up the more times you mutate. This is why the health light shows up: your starting banana has low stats on these.
# Harvest.
# Have fun!
# OPTIONAL: Consider harvesting an intermediate stage early so you have a backup set of seeds.

* Building a H.O.N.K. mech, in 17 easy steps.
# Go Miner.
# Grab mesons from the closet and rush onto the mining shuttle.
# Grab a hardsuit and an O2 tank, but don't fill it up. You won't need to.
# Rush over to the HoP's office across the hall. With any luck, you'll have beaten the start-of-round access rush.
# (Optional) Ask/beg the HoP for robotics and R&D access. If they want to know why, say it's for mechs and drills. (This step is technically optional if R&D is being done properly and the Roboticists feel like making your mech for you, but I wouldn't trust them, though, as there's a good chance they'll just run off with your hard-earned HONK as soon as they're done)
# (Optional) Go into robotics/R&D and swipe a stack of metal for crafting into rods for use as a ghetto jetpack.
# Run over to the chapel. If the Chaplain is there, ask him to space you in a coffin. If he's not, smash the door with a extinguisher and space yourself in a closet.
# This is the iffy part of the guide. If the RNG has smiled in your favor, you'll have landed at the derelict. If so, proceed to the next step. If it hasn't, you'll have landed at the old telecoms satellite, or worse- mining. If this is the case, just repeat step 7 again until you arrive.
# Congratulations, you've arrived. Now, make your way over to the southeastern-most area of the derelict- the AI core- and space yourself straight down from the small glass arm on it. You'll arrive at a small asteroid with a ship embedded in it.
# Go into the ship and take your mining satchel out of your backpack (you are a miner, aren't you?) and collect all the bannanium from the crates and floor.
# Now. Before you go, take a bike horn from the pocket of one of the clowns on the ground, along with a mask, pair of shoes, and, most importantly, an ID. Good, now you can leave.
# Go to the far left of the asteroid, and jump back up to the derelict. Next, proceed over to the far left of the derelict- the chapel- and space yourself straight down from the tip of the mass driver there. You'll arrive at the derelict teleporter, and be able to beam straight back to the station. Make sure you test-fire before going through it, though!
# Now that you're back with the materials, go back to mining and smelt the bannanium.
# After that, check with your mining compatriots to see if they've brought any materials back to Science, with the most important one being uranium. If they have, skip the next two steps.
# If they haven't, and are being the lazy douchebags they normally are, go mine some for them. A single vein of uranium is plenty.
# Head to R&D and deconstruct two of the pieces of uranium you have, and sync the servers.
# Now, you've all-but gotten your mech! If you were lucky enough to not have the station implode upon itself in the two minutes you were gone, you can now insert the bannanium into the robotics exosuit fabricator and make yourself a HONK mech. You did it!
* Dye your clown shoes and slip them on someone, they still squeak.
* The clowns flower is basically a small spraybottle. It can be emptied and can carry 10 units of fluids and shoots exactly 1 unit at a time. So you can ten very small shots, and it has impressive range. It can be loaded from the pepper spray wall units and actually shoots further than the spray bottles. Since it is one unit the stun does not last long, but it is good for a guaranteed disarm if they lack eye protection.
** If somebody is chasing you and you havent emptied your flower of water yet, you can empty it on the floor for a slip that is less obvious than a peel is.
** If you want to be a massive bastard as a clown (or botanist I guess), grab the water sprayer, fill it to full and then dump 500 units of water on a single tile in the hallway. It gets used up super quick when people slip on it, but it will last a really long time until people do come along. You could be less obvious about it with bluespace beakers though, since you dont need to switch your backpack.

A virus blend that has three instances of the following symptoms will heal you from crit (assuming there is no other source of damage present), protect you from suffocation, and allow you to run at max speed even if you have a bulky exosuit with active magboots. Toxic Filter, Toxic Compensation, Self-Respiration, and Stimulant. Add Weight Even to one of the strains to grant hunger immunity, and something else such as Eternal Youth to give yourself a third unique strain. Matching symptoms in different virus strains will stack with each other.
** Viruses with different, unique symptoms can be mixed together in a beaker to produce a strain with some or all of the symptoms of component strains.
* If you actually do manage to make a beneficial virus and want to distribute it, have a superior vet it and ask them to announce it to the station via their desk.
* Iif you get denied a crate (probably more than half your rounds), ask Engineering for a share of their plasma ask the HoP for mining access so you can get your own plasma. (This is the only reliable way you are going to get plasma!) mix enough times and you can discover liver enhancer by yourself!
** If you get a virus with unwanted symptoms, use your dropper set to transfer one unit of synaptizine to your virus. Your 30 unit bottle will be good for a full 30 uses! So many problems would be solved if plasma were the same...
* If you are a virologist who wants the most from a beneficial virus, but cannot fit all the desired symptoms into one strain, consider removing "Weight Even" from your symptoms if you already included stimulant. All that hunger does is reduce a person's speed; Stimulant totally negates all slowdowns, and thus this renders Weight Even redundant.

* Vodka heals radiation damage.
* Genetical powers have a chance to manifest everytime your SE changes. Most people inject themselves with injectors over and over to get the powers they want, but there's a trick to this: You can put a person in a scanner, set the lenght and power of the radiation beams to 1/1 and keep blasting some unrelated blocks. This means you get a SE change every second and almost no radiation. However, the low duration means it has a good chance to cause random disabilities. Just make sure you have a clean power SE saved in the buffer and pay attention to the block values. Even with the chance for disabilities, it's a LOT faster and safer than using injectors or copying the SE to the occucant using the buffers.
** Use a 'safe' block for the 1/1 bursts (something at or around 333-4bb on both adjacent blocks plus the block you're hitting) and you'll have to reset the SE for disabilities infrequently if ever.
* Turning off the APC's equipment power also ejects a clone regardless of health. Good for speedcloning. Clone one to 25%, throw in cryo, clone another to 25%, throw in cryo, clone one guy until the first guy in cryo is done, repeat.
** You can also swipe a genetics ID on the cloning pod to unlock it and eject them via right clicking. (I'm pretty sure it was right clicking to eject.)
* Radiation (and thus radstorms and mutagen) has a very, VERY small chance to give non-negative effects. One of the "Gotta go fast" schools of genetics is to hit a monkeyperson with a load of mutagen and get most of the disability blocks in five minutes.

* Cheatsheet for the researching RD:
* You can make it possible to make Energy Relays. If you can, make a detour and go to the abandoned shuttle : grab the syndicate toolbox, and get back home. Scan it : 1 point in illegal tech. Make a tyrant board, scan it as well : you now have enough illegal tech to make relays from the exosuit fabricators. ADDED: Use stock part sensors and destructive analyzer boards for EM. Use exosuit fabricator boards instead of plasma cutters for engineering. Use teleporter circuits instead of ark transmitters, and telecom relay boards for bluespace. USE CIRCUIT BOARDS INSTEAD OF STUFF, CHEMISTRY IS RIGHT NEXT DOOR.
**Materials: Micro manipulator, mining drill, advanced storage bin. From there you really should wait for more materials to come in because you can't do much without uranium or diamonds etc. Then destruct three uranium blocks, then a diamond drill (materials 7)
 
**Engineering: atmospheric analyser (in the blue toolboxes), destructive analyser board, exosuit fabricator, diamond drill. (engineering 5).
* Unlike what some roboticists says, they must answer to the RD. If they are too stubborn to remember that, make yourself the joy to demote them so they remember next time. Otherwise, sync your research often, and go check on 'em to eventually congratulate them on their job. Bring them sulfuric acid so they don't ask you for boards too often. Don't hesitate to steal some materials if the miners are dragging it all to robotics: and remember, 10 sheets of everything is enough to make a good chunk o' stuff.
**Electromagnets: Atmos analyser, destructive analyser board, hi-powered laser... either mech heavy lasers or mech RCD, or now you can grab the telecoms equipment, and finally a subspace transmitter. (Level 6)
 
**Plasma: Turn a welder into a flamethrower for plasma 2, a friendly chemist should give you a sheet of plasma for plasma 3, PACMAN board for plasma 4.
* Lola's "how to not be shit at the Protolathe" guide
**Power manipulation: basic capacitor for 2, mining drill for 3, advanced capacitor for 4, superpacman board for 5, MRSPACMAN for 6 (hyper capacity doesn't deconstruct for me usually). ADDED: You can't destruct pacman boards/mrspacman boards without them being broken.
 
**Combat: Deconstruct a flamethrower first and then do durand weapons boards as you said, and finally if you really want to mech projectile armour (combat 6)

**Data: Micro manipulator, destructive analyser board, exosuit fabricator, durand weapons boards, message monitor. (prog 6)

::Tweak to the guide: 15 sheets of metal into the protolathe, 10 of glass into each of protolathe and circuit imprinter. Make 2 rods from a sheet of metal. Dump your acid to the imprinter.


::Micro Manip, Capacitor/Tatobattery, High-Cap cell, analyzer, flamethrower (screwdriver your welder, stick rods to it, done). Print tracking beacon, mesons, mining drill, decon each in turn. Get teleporter board, decon. Print an exosuit fabricator board, decon.
::Synchronize: Engineering 4, Data 4, Materials 3, Bluespace 3, Combat 2, Plasma 2
::Now, my very silly way to avoid having to print a third mech syringe is that you ask medical for a health scanner. If they're being stupid and won't give you one (no seriously they have like 10 in the vendors) open O2 lockers until you can take one from an oxygen dep kit. Decon it for bio 1, the print and decon a Med HUD for bio 2. It's much cheaper than deconning a third syringe gun or MMI.
::So you decon 2 super caps, 2 mech syringe guns, 2 mech tasers, 1 wormhole gen, then one each gold, uranium, and diamond pickaxe.

**Though I've not tested it, logic dictates (see next point) that increasing the injection amount probably isn't going to help too much, since a lower threshold means a medical bot can keep injecting you until you're healthy without overdosing you (which, like with all healing chemicals in the game, has no negative effects other than redundancy).

# '''Power goes out everywhere, in under 10 seconds or so?''' This is most likely a power sink, power sinks have the odd quirk of sill powering the area they are placed in, so your best bet is to get searching for somewhere were the lights are still on, or if it's in maint, where you don't have to crowbar the doors.
# '''Power goes out everywhere, in under 10 seconds or so?''' This is most likely a power sink, power sinks have the odd quirk of still powering the area they are placed in, so your best bet is to get searching for somewhere were the lights are still on, or if it's in maint, where you don't have to crowbar the doors.
# '''Power goes out everywhere, but gradually, section by section?''' This means there's a problem in Engineering itself as the rest of the station is being topped up with charge. It'll be immediately obvious if the engine isn't on/has escaped. Your next port of call should be the SMES cells. Check they're outputting enough power to overcome the drain OR if no APCs are showing on the Power Monitoring computer, it means a wire has been cut either inside or immediately outside the Engineering area and is not being supplied to the rest of the station.

# '''Power is out accross a small area?''' This is most commonly a broken wire, the easiest way to find it is with familiarity with the power-net and using that in conjuction with the power monitoring computer. If an area has had all wires sending power to it snipped, it's APCs will no longer show on the power monitoring computer. For example, if medbay as a whole has lost power and isn't showing any of it's APCs on the power monitor. The wire cut is most likely in the maint tunnel behind medbay. The more familiar you become with the power nets, the quicker you will be able to work out where the break is and be able to recognise common spots used.
# '''Power is out across a small area?''' This is most commonly a broken wire, the easiest way to find it is with familiarity with the power-net and using that in conjunction with the power monitoring computer.

# '''Power is out accross 2 small rooms or in one room?''' This is most likely an APC that has been tampered with in some way. Either hacked by an AI/Saboteur, destroyed somehow or just had it's cell ripped out. Again, if the APC doesn't show up on the Power Monitoring computer,it means it's been severed from the power net and wire either inside that room or very close to the APC has been cut.

# '''Power is intermittent accross the station. Stuff turns off for a while, starts working, then goes off again?''' Your SMES aren't outputting enough power to keep the APCs charged. This happens most often when the output is just under the drain so therefore some APCs get enough power, while others don't.

* It is possible to upgrade the AI's cameras by using certain items... For example, you can give them x-ray properties if you apply a ultra micro laser to them. Pretty useful if the AI needs eyes in maint and you actually have the research to produce them. Watch as the AI freaks out when it realizes it now sees EVERYTHING in the dorms.
There is also a proximity sensor upgrade. Install a proximity sensor upgrade on a camera and the AI will be immediately alerted if anyone comes in view range. There's a third upgrade too, but it's not as good and I do not remember it.
(the guide to construction states: For upgrades, insert solid plasma for EMP proofing, a carrot for X-Ray and a proximity sensor for Motion.)
 
* You can make a voice-locked door by making an airlock, attaching a signaler to the bolt wire, creating a voice analyzer-signaler assembly and keep it on you, when you speak the code word, it toggles the bolts. You can also just use a signaler but that's no fun.
 
* Still don't get why people watch the singularity during start-up. The point you turn the PA to 0 is reached when all of the SMES are charging - not when the singularity goes purple, red, green or whatever.
The power output of the singularity goes up exponentially (at least it seems like it from my experience) so by the time the SMES start blinking, the output is usually between 1 - 1.5 MW already.
 
* Here's a hint for noticing power sinks before anybody else does:
** always set up the SMES so that all the APCs stay full all the time (100 000+ output each)
** if you see an APC go red (i.e. not charging), check if it is still connected to the power grid
** if it is connected, go check the total power load on the station (either via PDA or a power monitoring console)
** normal load for the entire station is <200 000W. If you see the load steadily rising to well above 500 000W start thinking about wiring the black hole into the grid
** during a power sink, load tops out at around 1.4MW; so get the singularity to ouput at least 1.7MW or so.
** Note that even after the sink has been removed, the system is still all wonky and buggy. Disconnecting the singularity from the grid again, may make it look like there's a second sink in place, causing power alarms all over the station, depending on how well charged the APCs are. Feels like some APCs simply break down after such stress - best course of action is to just keep the singularity wired in...
 
* Power output is a function of singularity size and the amount of total plasma in collectors.

Pretty them useful if the AI needs eyes in maint and you actually have the research to produce them. Watch as the Ai freaks out when it realiss it now sees EVERYTHING in the dorms.
* How to be a good engineer:
There is also a proximity sensor upgrade. Install a proximity sensor upgrade on a camera and the AI will be immediatly alerted if anyone comes in view range. There's a third upgrade too, but it's not as good and I do not remember it.
** Get singulo stable at stage 2, set all SMES units to 200K in 110K out.
* How to be a manly engineer:
** Get singulo stable at stage 3, set all SMES units as above... including the 4 solar SMES units. Wire singulo and all 7 SMES units to grid directlike. Stroke your beard in satisfaction.

In that case, get a few lasers ready and turn off the emitter as soon as the strong blob is killed and the core is exposed. You only need to cut a single line to the blob, every other part of it can be ignored.

It won't be as effective but it's so much better than nothing. Cranking up the air available in the distro loop poses no threat to safety, and in fact makes it harder to start up harmful floods since there's so much good air in the way in there. And since you're the AI, you can now use air vents (and scrubbers) as they were fucking designed to be used; to scrub, drain, and replace air in rooms as necessary, and it fucking works. It is astonishing how little is required to turn a system so often seen as worthless into a helpful part of the station.

:* Minor addendum: A maxed volume pump and a maxed normal pump pump at the same rate given ideal circumstances. The difference is the volume pump won't stop pumping once its output end is at 4500 kpa or more. This makes it excellent for waste in, where no matter how much gas the previous fire/atmos experiment clogged the filtering loop with, Waste In is still pumping waste out of the scrubbers pipes, and by extension, helping keep the scrubbers from getting clogged to the point of uselessness.

* When security is chasing you, occasionally do a 180° and sprint back past them. If they’re space lagging enough, they won’t see you run by. This is especially effective if you’re being chased by the dreaded security mob, mainly because such mobs have a pack mentality. If you manage to throw off one officer, chances are good someone will follow him as well. Also, unless they are right on your ass, close doors you go through and open doors you don’t. People will chase open doors if they lose a visual on you. Also, tasers can’t go through doors and you can’t open a door during its closing animation, which can give you another extra second to duck into a maintenance tunnel.

* A strategy to win Cuban Pete:
** If your magic is less than 5, charge.
** If your health is less than Pete's, and your turtle value is less than 3, heal.
** Otherwise, attack.
** Healing increases your turtle value by 1.
** Attacking or charging your magic reduces your turtle value by 1.
** Pete will attack you for more damage if your turtle value is greater than 3.
** This technique gives you a win/loss ratio of about 1.7 on average. If your health is ever below 7, restart the game (screwdriver the arcade machine to restart).
** Also, once you get Pete to low health, be aware that he can steal your magic. This can result in your death easily, such as if you heal at 5 magic using up 3, and then he steals 2, bringing you to 0 and gibbing you.

This is particularly effective as a self defence measure assuming you can't get your hands on some proper weapons. While fire will take several seconds before doing serious damage, most people won't be carrying anything to extinguish it. They can resist to put it out but resisting out of being on fire is an auto stun, otherwise they can keep fighting and all you'll have to do is keep your distance untill they burn to death. Their only option is running away. The added benefit of fire is that armors don't generally have fire protection, that makes it a great weapon against better equipped foes like nuke ops with their pesky armor and shield, assuming you can get close enough, but once you manage it's going to ruin their day.

* Hacking a camera:
** If you cut the Focus wire on a camera, it can only see two tiles.
** If you cut the Camera wire, it will show up as Cut on a Camera monitor and static for the AI.
** If you deconstruct the camera completely, it will not show up at all on the camera monitor. You don't need to cut the alarm wire, but you need to cut every other wire. Either way it doesn't matter, due to smashing/turning off lights being infinitely more effective without attracting attention.
* You don't need to cut a camera's power wire to disable it, you can just pulse it. This means you can attach a remote signaler to that wire and use a second signaler set to the same frequency and code to toggle the camera off and on.
* Hacking doors: Cutting the power wire does 10 seconds to back up power. But pulsing also switches to back up power after 10 seconds, meaning if you want to open the same door for your exit you need to pulse the BACKUP wire to interrupt power. I think it switches back to primary after 1 minute again. Best thing is pulse both the primary and backup then crowbar - that should give you the old style 1 minute window.
* To restore primary power to a door immediately, cut then mend the primary power wire. Cutting + mending is incredibly useful when you've accidentally electrified a door, or shorted APC power.
* Use screwdriver on mousetrap, attach to an igniter instead of a timer when making a grenade assembly, you've just made a landmine. Combine with a 100-100 potassium-water mix and anyone who steps on it will regret it.
* Singularity’s EMP can be abused to short out lockers.
* Inject plasma into a battery and insert it into a stun baton/prod. The next time someone attacks with the baton on it will blow up on them, seriously wounding both the holder and the stun target. Doing it with a high capacity battery or better will create a blast strong enough to turn the floor under the attacker to space, which will suck in the people caught in the blast and crit them before they can wake up. Use it as a suicide weapon or place it in the halls for some gullible fool to get himself killed with. The blast of a high or better will delete the stun baton too, leaving no scannable evidence. Prods won't delete though for whatever reason.
* You can emag the light replacer, which causes all of the lights to be filled with plasma which will ignite if the light bulb's turned on.
* There is a single power cable supplying the entire station with power. If you don't feel like spending crystals for a power sink and you don't get seen for a minute near engineering, you can disable the power grid so that only very competent engineers will spot your sabotage. Though this only works if the solars aren’t set up.
* You can emag buttons to remove access from it.
* Wall-mounted flashers and portable flashers can be disabled with wirecutters
* If you screwdriver a heater you can take out its really crappy battery or adjust the temperature it outputs. The highest setting, 90 C, will actually hurt people extremely slowly if they aren't wearing internals.
* You can hack Suit Storage Units, change settings to make it mime fryer, stuff mime inside, turn on and get fried mime.
* You can screwdriver Detectives revolver and load .357 in it, but you can get blown up by this revolver. ADDED: Remember to unload the thing while you're doing it, or you'll shoot yourself in a similar manner to sawing a loaded shotgun.
* As a traitor engineer, you could easily do the following:
** Go to a room, like a construction room, and find the APC's wire that shorts out the power.
** Grab two signalers and adjust their frequencies.
** Go to telecomms, in a hardsuit, and attach a signaler to the APC's power wire, which you found before. Close the APC and leave no traces.
** You can now disable comms any time you want for a few minutes - and unless someone checks the APC and/or doesn’t look too closely or asks the AI, they will think it was an ionospheric anomaly. HONK.
* A good way to manually disable tcomms temperately is to set the filtering frequency on the hub to some number like 0.1. It'll block everything and most engineers don't know how to fix it.
* If you want tcomms down for good, disconnect the network links. There are -very- few engineers who can fix that, and it'll take over ten minutes if they're experienced with how tcomms works. It'll probably force a shuttle call.
* Another thing that can break tcomms: changing network of the machinery. It also breaks all links. Especially if you change it from tcommsat to something like tcomms or tcommsats, which is not that obvious when you take a look at it without knowing what is the issue. And even if they relink everything again it won't work. And then even if they realize that the problem is with the network name, when they change it back, it will reset all the links again!
* If you see a pAI with a great reputation who you like, and someone else has claimed it first, use an emag to unbind it.
* The Telecomms NTSL Scripting can REALLY Add to a Traitor AI round, Kill off someone important, Pretend to be them, Someone is Saying "Rogue" and "Kill" and "Traitor" over the radio? Replace those words with "Apple" or "Crayon" Someone found your BLUE APC? Make it so they can't say Blue, or better yet change it so they say Green instead. TL;DR NTSL Scripts are AWESOME.
* If someone is hacking a door and you want to keep them from following you, and you know all or most of the wires:
# Cut 1-3 useless wires (typically some combination of Door Control, ID Wire, Timing, Safety)
# Cut the bolt lights wire
# Cut the bolts wire
# Cut every other wire except the shock wire
# Cut the shock wire
:This makes it incredibly obnoxious to follow you - if they don't know the wires and don't have insulated gloves, they're SOL because even the AI can't help them pursue.
* Cutting the shock wire doesn't shock you, as far as I have been able to tell. Mending it, on the other hand....
* If you want to test hacking doors without pissing off sec for breaking in somewhere and you have maint, you can make your own airlock with the aux tool storage thing and make it somewhere obscure.
*Camera Bug:
** The camera bug Syndicate item has four different modifications that you can apply to it using various items for each but it can only store one of them at a time, you'll need to screwdriver it to remove the modifying item. It doesn't matter what modification is installed when you bug a camera meaning you can switch out the modifying item for another one to access different features. While these were all described in the completed code thread for this item the information given was minimal and the listed items were only temporary and aren't accurate anymore.
** The network mod which requires ANY kind of radio device (Yes, you can somehow fit an electropack inside), a remote signaler or a subspace transmitter basically turns it into a portable security camera console by connecting to the entire camera network with no need to actually bug any cameras. Note that it can only detect cameras that are on the SS13 network meaning constructed cameras using a different network name won't be picked up even if you've bugged them, you'll have to remove the network mod to see through a bugged camera that's using a different network. Also something to note is that while it detects cameras on other Z-levels with the SS13 network as existing it can only pick up camera signals from the Z-level you're in.
** The sabotage mod (Igniter, infrared emitter or subspace amplifier) EMP's a bugged camera at the press of a button for each singular camera which obviously disables it for a short period of time and removes the bug. While one may think to simply bug the cameras in an area you intend to say murder people in and then disable them when the time comes the AI will immediately be notified of the disabled cameras and will know exactly where shit might be going down. A better cover would be to bug as many cameras as possible and then disable them all at once effectively blinding the AI of much of the station.
** The advanced mod (Detective scanner, pAI or scanning module) allows you to track anybody that one of your bugged cameras detect although you'll need to manually follow them by switching to the next bugged camera that they're in view of. The tracking interface will automatically uPDAte every few seconds to tell you what if any bugged cameras detect them including if they leave your bugged camera coverage entirely and then return to it at any point. Note that you can only track people for as long as you keep the interface on the tracking menu, if you cancel tracking you can't resume it until they're detected again.
** The universal mod (Atmos analyzer, plant analyzer or subspace analyzer) allows you to view through any cameras bugged by another camera bug as each of them have their own little network separate from one another. Basically if there's another traitor running around bugging cameras you can also see through them which is fairly worthless as camera bugs aren't exactly a popular choice.
** Other little things about the camera bug include that each camera can only contain one bug, in order to remove a camera bug you simply use the camera bug on it again, bugging a camera leaves no traces of any sort at all and while you can't receive a signal from bugged cameras on other Z-levels you can still use modification features such as disable and detection with them.
* Put bombs in the backpacks of brain-dead or catatonic people. ADDED: Advanced version: Get mouse traps, connect one with signaler with set frequency, then make a bomb with signaler on the same frequency. Put both in backpack. Wear it or leave it somewhere/on someone. ADDED: Wizard Mode: Take your 6 max cap bomb and build 6 voice analyzers from an autolathe. Set the trigger words to "Pete", "beat", "chick", "chicky", "boom". Find 6 station bound radios, and place each of them in a backpack with a corresponding bomb hidden about the station. Sing the song that ends the station.
* The secret to hacking syndi bombs effectively is to remember that the only wire that doesn't do anything on pulse when the bomb isn't live is the boom wire (aka the one to attach a signaler to after you start the countdown for 4 hours then call attention to it).
* You can wrench syndibombs to the ground so they can't be immediately picked up and spaced.
* Deactivating cameras has them show up as (Deactivated) to anybody scrolling through cameras, but disassembling them completely removes them entirely from the list.
* You can make "voice-bomb":attach Voice Analyzer with Remote Signalling Device and set frequency.
** Make grenade,but dont use igniter+TIMER,use IGNITER+SIGNALLER and set for frequensy of your Voice+Signaller
** Say your "special" word=BOOM!
** SPECIAL:You can inject this bomb into your body with Voice+Signaller,in crit situation say "special" word and BOOM!
* The BYOND ticks are longer than a second, so in Syndicate Bombs; the reason they take so long to detonate is you set them to "60 seconds" and it's actually "60 ticks" giving you 2.5 minutes instead of 1.

* Get your debraining tools from the autolathe, not surgery. They're all craftable there, it's easier to get to, and Medbay doesn't complain. "Get" here probably means "steal" unless you're cargo.
* Kill a ling, drag a weldertank onto it, and then welder/shoot the tank with a laser. This gibs the ling.


* As long as you can talk and you're within 1 tile of an intercom, you can type :i in front of what you say to say it over the intercom. Even when you're stunned and/or on the ground. This saved my life on more than one occasion, such as when a changeling tried to absorb me on a pod and the silence sting wore off before he killed me.
* Transformation Sting is robust. Not only does it confuse the fuck out of people and is silent, but it's easier to hide in a forest than on an open plain. Make 555 of the guy you are changing into for more genomes. Transform the guy you are husking/impersonating into someone else, so you're the only one. Transform a ling who is caught if the scene is chaotic enough that he might escape. The possibilities are endless. ADDED: Wear some generic clothes from arrivals or locker room. Then if somebody's chasing you, run out of their line of sigh, quickly transform and run backwards.


* If you get cryostung as a secguy...Remove your armor and helmet. REMOVE THEM. Or else you will die. Sec armor has somehow some heattampering properties, which means you won't heat up as much as you would normally be...And will consequently die of cold. Same goes if you are wearing an hardsuit/space protective gear/anything that could have thermal properties. If you get cryo'd, REMOVE THOSE THINGS ASAP.
* As a ling you are able to explore space, either staying as a regening corpse until you hit something or through a combination of fleshmend, engorged chem sacs, and a fire suit.
** There is a spare saw for debraining on the comms satellite.
** There are edible clown corpses on the clown shuttle.
** You can of course find spaced people randomly, which is a great way to pick up an identity provided everyone doesn't know they were spaced.
** Cryosting is only robust on people with insulation which makes it really effective in space, where they won't have a choice about staying dressed up in their suit.


* Hive channel is free genome storage for identities.

* Take Engorged Chemical Glands. Whatever powers you take (Particularly the stupidrobust Resonant Shriek, which makes everyone around you deaf and drunk, breaks lights, and flashes borgs) you will NEVER be hurt by choosing the power that lets you spam it nonstop.
* Saying *deathgasp will gib you if you're a nuke ops, so if you're stunned, and they're trying to strip you, be a pal and *deathgasp, that way the rest of your team (Who isn't awful) doesn't have to deal with the enemy having your shit. The explosion automatically gibs you and creates a small explosion where your body was. The gibbing deletes all items in your inventory.


* Praying for Clown Mask as a nuke op is the best thing.
* Mimic voice and subverted AI, or mimic voice and digital camo go a LONG way in completely getting the crew against each other. (ie: "one day, woody got wood")


* If the nuclear device is armed, you can examine the pinpointer and it will tell you how long before it explodes.
* Keep in mind that if you space yourself and let your corpse husk from the burn damage you'll still be a husk when you get back up. You can clear this effect by transforming to another form and back again. You could also buy voice changing and play a zombie.


* Set your ID to a crew member. Give it a legit job. Set your fucking ID to a fucking crew member's name and give it an actual job like Chemist or something. If you grab a name out of your intercept it makes it harder for the AI to track you.
* DNA contains all the genetic disabilities/powers in addition to visual appearance, so if you want to be mean to people you could create a humanized monkey with all the disabilities, extract its DNA, then go around silently turning people into blind deaf convulsing gibbering heaps. It's the closest thing to a parasting we have now.

===[[File:Wirecutters.png]] Hacking===
* You can get 1000 watt powercells out of space heaters for your evil needs.


* Hacking a camera:
====[[File:Wallradio.png]] Against Changelings====
** If you cut the Focus wire on a camera, it can only see two tiles.
* Kill a ling, drag a weldertank onto it, and then welder/shoot the tank with a laser. This gibs the ling.
** If you cut the Camera wire, it will show up as Cut on a Camera monitor and static for the AI.
** If you deconstruct the camera completely, it will not show up at all on the camera monitor. You don't need to cut the alarm wire, but you need to cut every other wire. Either way it doesn't matter, due to smashing/turning off lights being infinitely more effective without attracting attention.


* You don't need to cut a camera's power wire to disable it, you can just pulse it. This means you can attach a remote signaller to that wire and use a second signaller set to the same frequency and code to toggle the camera off and on.
* As long as you can talk and you're within 1 tile of an intercom, you can type :i in front of what you say to say it over the intercom. Even when you're stunned and/or on the ground. This saved my life on more than one occasion, such as when a changeling tried to absorb me on a pod and the silence sting wore off before he killed me.
<strike>
* If you have the obese mutation, you can NOT be grabbed by the neck, and therefore unable to be choked, leaving you immunity against changeling absorbtions and giving you more time. However, some changelings are smart and may buy an unfat sting. </strike> newling!


* Hacking doors: Cutting the power wire does 10 seconds to back up power. But pulsing also switches to back up power after 10 seconds, meaning if you want to open the same door for your exit you need to pulse the BACKUP wire to interrupt power. I think it switches back to primary after 1 minute again. Best thing is pulse both the primary and backup then crowbar - that should give you the old style 1 minute window.
* Actually the best way to counter lings to hang around in groups of three. The ling is an ambush predator and will only attack prey that is weak and isolated. ...Except if the lings are working in groups as well.


* To restore primary power to a door immediately, cut then mend the primary power wire. Cutting + mending is incredibly useful when you've accidentally electrified a door, or shorted APC power.
* If you get cryostung as a Security Officer, remove your armor and helmet. REMOVE THEM. Or else you will die. Sec armor has somehow some heattampering properties, which means you won't heat up as much as you would normally be, and will consequently die of cold. Same goes if you are wearing an hardsuit/space protective gear/anything that could have thermal properties. If you get cryo'd, REMOVE THOSE THINGS ASAP.


* Use screwdriver on mousetrap, attach to an igniter instead of a timer when making a grenade assembly, you've just made a landmine. combine with a 100-100 potassium-water mix and anyone who steps on it will regret it.
===[[File:Generic_nukesyndie.png]] Nuclear Operatives===

* Singularity’s EMP can be abused to short out lockers.
* Praying for Clown Mask as a nuke op is the best thing.


* Inject plasma into a battery and insert it into a stun baton/prod. The next time someone attacks with the baton on it will blow up on them, seriously wounding both the holder and the stun target. Doing it with a high capacity battery or better will create a blast strong enough to turn the floor under the attacker to space, which will suck in the people caught in the blast and crit them before they can wake up. Use it as a suicide weapon or place it in the halls for some gullible fool to get himself killed with. The blast of a high or better will delete the stun baton too, leaving no scanable evidence. Prods won't delete though for whatever reason.
* If the nuclear device is armed, you can examine the pinpointer and it will tell you how long before it explodes.


* You can emag the light replacer, which causes all of the lights to be filled with plasma which will ignite if the light bulb's turned on.
* Set your ID to a crew member. Give it a legit job. Set your fucking ID to a fucking crew member's name and give it an actual job like Chemist or something. If you grab a name out of your intercept it makes it harder for the AI to track you.
 
* There is a single power cable supplying the entire station with power. If you don't feel like spending crystals for a power sink and you don't get seen for a minute near engineering, you can disable the power grid so that only very competent engineers will spot your sabotage. Though this only works if the solars arent set up.
 
* You can emag buttons to remove access from it.
 
* Find one of the wires that shortens the APC's power when pulsed. Attach a signaller to that wire at the telecomms APC. You can now disable coms any time you want for a few minutes - and unless someone checks the APC and/or doesnt look too closely or asks the AI, they will think it was an ionospheric anomaly.
 
* Wall-mounted flashers and portable flashers can be disabled with wirecutters
 
* If you screwdriver a heater you can take out its really crappy battery or adjust the temperature it outputs. The highest setting, 90 C, will actually hurt people extremely slowly if they aren't wearing internals.
 
* You can hack eva space suit containment things, change settings to make it mime fryer, stuff mime inside, turn on and get fried mime.
 
* You can screwdrive detectives revolver and load .357 in it, but you can get blown up by this revolver. ADDED: Remember to unload the thing while you're doing it, or you'll shoot yourself in a similar manner to sawing a loaded shotgun.
 
* As a traitor engineer, you could easily do the following:
** Go to a room, like a construction room, and find the APC's wire that shorts out the power.
** Grab two signalers and adjust their frequencies.
** Go to telecomms, in a hardsuit, and attach a signaler to the APC's power wire, which you found before. Close the APC and leave no traces.
** Now you have an instant way to disable telecomms for a short time, useful for taking down your assassination target or for annoying the station. HONK.
 
* A good way to manually disable tcomms temperately is to set the filtering frequency on the hub to some number like 0.1 . It'll block everything and most engineers don't know how to fix it.


* If you want tcomms down for good, disconnect the network links. There are -very- few engineers who can fix that, and it'll take over ten minutes if they're experienced with how tcomms works. It'll probably force a shuttlecall.
* The gloves you start with are already insulated.
 
* Another thing that can break tcomms: changing network of the machinery. It also breaks all links. Especially if you change it from tcommsat to something like tcomms or tcommsats, which is not that obvious when you take a look at it without knowing what is the issue. And even if they relink everything again it won't work. And then even if they realise that the problem is with the network name, when they change it back, it will reset all the links again!
 
* The Telecomms NTSL Scripting can REALLY Add to a Traitor AI round, Kill off someone important, Pretend to be them, Someone is Saying "Rogue" and "Kill" and "Traitor" over the radio? Replace those words with "Apple" or "Crayon" Someone found your BLUE APC? Make it so they can't say Blue, or better yet change it so they say Green instead. TL;DR NTSL Scripts are AWESOME.
 
*Camera Bug:
** The camera bug Syndicate item has four different modifications that you can apply to it using various items for each but it can only store one of them at a time, you'll need to screwdriver it to remove the modifying item. It doesn't matter what modification is installed when you bug a camera meaning you can switch out the modifying item for another one to access different features. While these were all described in the completed code thread for this item the information given was minimal and the listed items were only temporary and aren't accurate anymore.
** The network mod which requires ANY kind of radio device (Yes, you can somehow fit an electropack inside), a remote signaler or a subspace transmitter basically turns it into a portable security camera console by connecting to the entire camera network with no need to actually bug any cameras. Note that it can only detect cameras that are on the SS13 network meaning constructed cameras using a different network name won't be picked up even if you've bugged them, you'll have to remove the network mod to see through a bugged camera that's using a different network. Also something to note is that while it detects cameras on other Z-levels with the SS13 network as existing it can only pick up camera signals from the Z-level you're in.
** The sabotage mod (Igniter, infrared emitter or subspace amplifier) EMP's a bugged camera at the press of a button for each singular camera which obviously disables it for a short period of time and removes the bug. While one may think to simply bug the cameras in an area you intend to say murder people in and then disable them when the time comes the AI will immediately be notified of the disabled cameras and will know exactly where shit might be going down. A better cover would be to bug as many cameras as possible and then disable them all at once effectively blinding the AI of much of the station.
** The advanced mod (Detective scanner, pAI or scanning module) allows you to track anybody that one of your bugged cameras detect although you'll need to manually follow them by switching to the next bugged camera that they're in view of. The tracking interface will automatically update every few seconds to tell you what if any bugged cameras detect them including if they leave your bugged camera coverage entirely and then return to it at any point. Note that you can only track people for as long as you keep the interface on the tracking menu, if you cancel tracking you can't resume it until they're detected again.
** The universal mod (Atmos analyzer, plant analyzer or subspace analyzer) allows you to view through any cameras bugged by another camera bug as each of them have their own little network separate from one another. Basically if there's another traitor running around bugging cameras you can also see through them which is fairly worthless as camera bugs aren't exactly a popular choice.
** Other little things about the camera bug include that each camera can only contain one bug, in order to remove a camera bug you simply use the camera bug on it again, bugging a camera leaves no traces of any sort at all and while you can't receive a signal from bugged cameras on other Z-levels you can still use modification features such as disable and detection with them.

* Some things about The Orion Trail:
** Food is the number one killer; I've pretty much never won with all four settlers still alive. Going to the next stop (assuming nothing happens) eats up 2 food for every settler, and some events need you to 'wait', which is the same except for three stops; eating up 6 food for every settler. Losing a few settlers during 'accidents' increases your odds of winning substantially. Thankfully, waiting doesn't consume any fuel, but the 'go around' option for black holes does. The base consumption for fuel is 5 units for one stop. 'Slowing down' in an Interstellar Flux event eats up one extra stop of food and fuel, but doesn't carry the 75% chance of engine failure.
** Going through the Asteroid Belt (second stop) has a high chance (70%) of causing a collision, which can kill a crewmember and lose you 5 to 15 food and fuel. Getting assaulted by raiders has the potential to lose you 1 to 10 food and fuel, with the odd addition that you can only lose a settler if no food/fuel was stolen. The Raiders do have a substantially increased chance to steal stuff as opposed to the collision.
** The Black Hole is the third-to-last stop, and is a special case. Going around consumes 3 stops worth of food and fuel, but guarantees survival. Continuing carries a flat 75% chance of instantly dying, but doesn't consume anything if you appeased the RNG gods enough. Since there is still one stop after this, you can quickly determine if going around would be at all possible. Factoring in to this is the fact that the game checks for death before victory, so if you arrive at Orion with 0 food or fuel you still lose. At the Black Hole, you will therefore need at least 21 fuel, and (settlers * 8 + 1) food. Anything less than this and 'continue' is the only option with any chance of winning.
** The breakdown/malfunction/collision events each can be used with their respective spare parts to continue at once, instead of having to wait three days. Due to the severe food consumption penalty for waiting, and the relatively minor chance of getting the same event twice, using the spare part is pretty much always the best option.
* Examine personal closets and they tell you who owns them.
* A laser pointer has the same optics disrupting effects of a flash. And stuns Borgs on use. Combine it with a fully upgraded pointer you can stop any rogue Borg before they get remotely close. It also EMPs cameras and flashes people even if they are wearing sunglasses.
