* There is an easier method to kill an AI than to thermite in: science should build an AI circuit board, cut cams all around arrivals, build it next to a wall comm, and put a brain in. Law 1 AI, other AI is killing humans, turn off the APC in the core while I distract the AI. | |||
* Cutting power by turning off the SMESes is no longer a good idea. The emitters run directly off the grid, so turning off SMES output will result in the singularity escaping in a short time. Instead what you should do is cut the power line between the SMES output and main grid. | * Cutting power by turning off the SMESes is no longer a good idea.

* 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. | * Emagged Engiborgs get an electrified arm, which stuns when you touch something with it.

* | * You use less power as a cyborg by having less active modules. | ||
* When | * 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. | ||
* Engiborgs and Secborgs can survive being thrown into space: Engiborgs can RCD floors under them and secborgs can walk on their taser shots and change direction (if you're quick enough, otherwise you're stopped in place usually). | * Engiborgs and Secborgs can survive being thrown into space: Engiborgs can RCD floors under them and secborgs can walk on their taser shots and change direction (if you're quick enough, otherwise you're stopped in place usually). | ||

* Chaplains can bless practically any water container by whacking them with their bibles, making holy water. | |||
* Holy water, aside from preventing wizards/wraiths jaunting, also have the advantage of being non-slip. So Chaplains should go around whacking the janitors bucket to prevent him being an asshole. | |||

* | * On that note, if you are cryoed and the doctors forget about you, you can eject yourself by right-clicking on the pod and clicking eject-occupant. It takes 2 minutes. I find it that it's generally a good idea to start the ejection process as soon as you're put in a tank since 2 minutes is enough to heal from whatever clone damage you have suffered. | ||
* Bruise packs and ointments are not 5-use items, but 5-item stacks of 1-use items. Never give science a full stack of packs again. | |||

* If you are planning to make a medicine that has tricord and doc's delight, if you use the DD made by the bartender, proportions will fuck up. If you drop 10 tricord and 10 DD you get 13 tricord and 7 DD. Instead, if you use the DD you get from grinding Syndicakes, proportion will remain.

* | * Clones start with 190 clone loss and 99 brain damage, they can be ejected with a geneticists ID at 120 clone loss (about 40% complete). The cloner takes about 2:30 minutes to pop out an, almost, complete clone. Ejecting at 40% then sticking in a cryotube with '*Urist's healing tincture*' speeds up the process by only a few seconds, but does mean you can clone multiple people at once. Force ejecting by either turning off APC power or emagging the clone tube then shoving them in the cryo tubes does finish them almost twice as fast AND means you can clone 3 people at the same time. | ||

* Cheatsheet for the researching RD: | |||
**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). | |||
**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: as you said. (plasma 4) | |||
**Power manipulation: as you said except use a mining drill instead of a hyper capacity cell and a diamond drill for (power 5). And 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) | |||
**Bluespace: Beacon, teleporter circuit, telecoms relay board, bag of holding. (bluespace 5) | |||
**Biotech: as you said. (biotech 5) | |||
**Illegal tech: suspicious toolbox (on the derelict), Tyrant module, mech energy relay (Syndicate 4) | |||

* Putting better parts in your robotics fabricator reduces the materials required to build stuff and the time equivalent to increasing the efficiency via materials science, so upgrading at the start helps a lot to get the most out of your starting metal. It stacks with materials science. In particular; the micro laser and manipulators as well as a high materials research will lower amount of materials used. | |||
* Losing a mech to an explosion will eject you completely unharmed. (Probably a good idea to be in space gear though.) | * Losing a mech to an explosion will eject you completely unharmed. (Probably a good idea to be in space gear though.) | ||

* An oddysseus's syringe gun can scan many reagents. I’ve promised an admin on another server not to reveal what it is, but i can tell you, it makes a fully upgraded and armed gygax look like a joke when it comes to killing humans if you figure out what i mean. (Advanced Slime Toxin and frost oil?) | * An oddysseus's syringe gun can scan many reagents.

* To get maximum camera coverage, you only have to place one camera every fifteen tiles. If there's a wall between them, use a carrot on the assembly after you weld it to the wall to create an xray camera. Otherwise, count seven tiles from where the previous camera disappears from view and build a camera there. | * To get maximum camera coverage, you only have to place one camera every fifteen tiles.

* Setting air vents to 0 kPa internal check (or just turning off the check) will make them pump out air like crazy, which makes it excellent to restore air to an area quickly. But be careful with the pressure on the vent tile itself, if the pressure in the outgoing distro loop is very high it might be dan-gerous. | * Setting air vents to 0 kPa internal check (or just turning off the check) will make them pump out air like crazy, which makes it excellent to restore air to an area quickly. But be careful with the pressure on the vent tile itself, if the pressure in the outgoing distro loop is very high it might be dan-gerous. ADDED: Don't max the vents. Set the vents to internal and desired pressure 0 instead. Maxed vents at 5000 KPA in a 100 KPA room will output 2450 KPA in the first tick, then 1225 KPA, 612.5 KPA, 306.25 KPA, 153.125 KPA, etc etc (assuming vents are always provided with max air). Zero'd vents will output 5000 KPA, then 5000 KPA, then 5000 KPA, etc. | ||
* If you're an atmos tech trying to repair a hull breach without a fire/space suit: Turn off the vents. No more air will be vented into the room, which means there won't be any space wind to fight against if you accidentally fall out the window. | |||
* Atmos tech is actually an interesting job, disposal tubes give such a wonderful opportunities for killing people ,however it takes shitton of time to build thing you need. | * Atmos tech is actually an interesting job, disposal tubes give such a wonderful opportunities for killing people ,however it takes shitton of time to build thing you need. | ||

* You can check how long a round has been going on for. Open a PDA and check the time, every round starts at 12:00; find the difference by taking 12 hours away from what the time currently says on the PDA. I.e: 13:37 - 12:00 = 1:37 - The round has been going on for an hour and thirty seven minutes. | |||
