Guide to Awesome Miscellaneous Stuff: Difference between revisions

* You can throw people into windows to break them faster than you can smash them down with your emergency tank, and you can kick down grills faster than any other way of smashing them down.

* You can actually change your in-game hairstyle (and facial hair) by clicking on a mirror (like in the dorm bathrooms). Incredibly useful to get your looks back after being cloned, and even to disguise yourself (because some disguises won't cover your hair, especially long hair).

* Pete the goat will eat Space Vines instantly. In a similar vein, robust enough tools, such as fire axes, circular saws, and surgical drills, are just as effective as welders against the vines.

* Apply a welder to solid plasma to turn it into plasma gas (not 100% sure).

* You can use the dresser located in dorm four to change your underwear. Upon further investigation you can use the dresser to change into the opposite sex's underwear.

* Holding certain items, like a knife or C4, change what happens when you suicide. Crayons... how horrifying):

* Your most powerful tool in Space Station 13 is communication. As any head role you can order about your underlings, a lot of the time they will actually do it, and a lot of the time you can trade goodies for them following your orders. As RD, if you want to get into tech storage but the HoP didn't give you access like the pansy he is, you can go hunt down tools yourself. Or you can order an assistant to do it (clown often works as well), and it's often done faster than you could have with no effort on your part. Two chemists can spend a round not once talking, but a "Hey dude, what's up?" or a "I like your hair, Alisen~" can gain you a valuable resource: a friend, the most important protection against changeling attacks. Detectives gain a surprising amount of information just by chatting with people like the bartender and the mime. You can often have food delivered to you via the disposals system with just a PDA, not once leaving your office. Speaking of orders, always give an order to a person, not the department. Ordering your department to do something is rarely carried out, ordering a person to do something is more often than not followed.(although still not followed that often).

* If you use a Cup Ramen on a sink twice, it becomes warm.

* If you confirm people are antags without them knowing and you have a free moment, adminhelp your intent to robust them to establish records of your knowing they're antag before they adminhelp you for dealing with them. That way, you won't have to explain yourself at a crucial moment.

* The abandoned ship, abandoned satellite, and AI satellite teleporter room are all on one z-level. The DJ station, derelict, and crashed clown ship are all on another.

* You can use your ID/PDA to open doors with unscrewed panels.

* You're more likely to get cleared for offenses by security if they feel like you're someone who's trustworthy and more likely to get close to the heads as well. I've had several occasions where I've found myself promoted to head positions just by taking the initiative to do seemingly mundane tasks that nobody gives a shit about like repairing minor damage from PDA bombings.

* Tracking beacons, used for the teleporter, can be used as station bounced radios if you use :l or :r for each hand.

* Going to space? No jetpack? Drag a paper bin onto your character and put it in your bag for 30 easy access throwing papers.

* Dead mice are now considered items, so that means you can: Stuff one into a cake, implant it into someone you don't like, throw it as a projectile, beat Runtime to death with one.

* You can teleport into the shuttle mid-travel using a beacon. This is incredibly useful for those meteor rounds.

* 4noraisins are, of the solid snack machine foods, the best food to eat. They contain 6 nutriment, whereas all others contain less than 5, and if they have less than 4, some sugar in them.

* The ion rifle in Phillip, or in general, can EMP airlocks open by shooting at them. They are rechargeable as well.

* You can use alcoholic drinks to remove ink from papers and books.

* If you're trapped in a disposal pipe, improvised explosives will allow you to break free without taking any damage. All the same, blowing one up while inside a locker will not damage you but will still damage everything around the locker. You can get a little revenge if some asshole welded you in and is dragging you around the station now!

** You can just drag headsets to your screen too to open them, like PDAs. EMPs keep you from interacting with your headset for about 15 seconds.

* You can go through portals or use the teleport as a ghost.

* If you're someone who doesn't normally have insulated gloves and don't want security to take them away, dye them by washing them in the washing machine with a color crayon.

* The filing cabinet in the vault counts as a security console (and, as far as I could tell, it doesn't need ID).
