# Use the frame on the wall you want the APC on (may only be placed in areas which have been defined as a Station Area using the Chief Engineer's [[High-risk_items|Station Blueprints]]).

# Fit it with the cable coil.

# Screwdriver the electronics into place.

# Add the power cell.

# '''Wirecutters''' to remove cables.

# '''Crowbar''' to lift floor tile in front of APC

# '''Welder''' to remover from wall.

# '''Wrenching''' the frame, that is now detached from the wall, deconstructs it to two metal sheets.

==== Chairs ====

Chairs are for sitting down and making the place look nice. The only real use for chairs are to restrain people, building electric chairs or to buckle in when the shuttle is about to take off. Office chairs can also be used to move buckled people around.

==== Tables/Reinforced Table ====

Tables are used to hold objects on. The most common ones are metal, glass and reinforced. You can climb onto tables, though it takes a short while. Tables can also be used for [[Ghetto Surgery|ghetto surgery]].

Lockers are among the most common and arguably the most useful of containers on the station. Nearly anything can fit inside, barring other lockers, [[crates]], and certain especially large objects like [[#Racks|racks]] and [[quartermaster|MULEbots]].

If you yourself are inside a locker, you can see your surroundings. Normally you can move in any direction to exit the locker, but if the locker is locked or welded, you will be unable to exit and you cannot unweld or unlock your cell from inside - at that point if you try to move around you will instead throw yourself against the sides of the locker, making a '''BANG BANG''' sound that can be heard from several squares away. Using the [[Resist]] button will allow you to slowly open the locker.

Coffins count as lockers.
