Guide to Construction: Difference between revisions

If you want to do a job, like [[Station Engineer]], you need to know how to build and deconstruct stuff.

Before you can begin any construction or deconstruction you need to gather a few useful tools.

{{anchor|Constructions}}

The basic base for all types of construction, this is placed directly in space.

Use the rod on an empty space tile.

Use '''wirecutters''' to cut the lattice into one rod.

Use a floor tile on a lattice.

Use a '''crowbar''' on ''broken'' plating, otherwise it does not deconstruct.

Can be deconstructed with an [[RCD]].

|-

[[File:Crowbar.png|Crowbar]]

|-

|-

Use a '''welder''' on broken plating to repair it.

{{anchor|Floor}}

::::This is the basic "nice" floor, this floor should be considered used in all public areas, hence why there's none of these in maintenance tunnels.

Use a wood tile on plating. Wood tiles can be made of [[#Planks|planks of wood]].

|-

|-

Detach the tile with a '''screwdriver'''.<br>

Alternately:<br>

Destroy it with a '''crowbar'''. This will not give you a wood tile back.

{{anchor|Wall}}

This is the standard type of wall found around the station, they are easy to construct and remove but are not as strong as reinforced walls. They also come in a hidden door variety. Walls can also be made out of different minerals, uranium being special with emitting strong radiation around it. They're useful for:

{{anchor|Rwall}}{{anchor|Reinforced Wall}}

This is the reinforced type of wall found in secure areas of station, they are reasonably simple to construct, but are very time consuming to remove. They also can be made as a hidden door. They're useful for:

{{anchor|Hidden Door}}{{anchor|Hidden Wall}}{{anchor|Reinforced Hidden Door}}{{anchor|Reinforced Hidden Wall}}

Also known as "Fake Walls" or "Hidden Walls". With a little imagination, hidden doors can be used in many marvelous tactics, varying from ambushes to passages into your very own secret hideaway room.

{| class="wikitable" border="1" cellspacing="0" style="width:80%; background-color:#FFFFFF;"

|-

|[[File:Metal.png|Metal]]x4 or<br>[[File:Metal.png|Metal]]x2 [[File:Metal_r.png|Plasteel]]x2

To turn a normal wall into a hidden door, deconstruct it until the final screwdriving of the girder, and instead use 2 sheet of metal on the girder.

{{anchor|Windows}}{{anchor|Window}}{{anchor|Reinforced Windows}}{{anchor|Reinforced Window}}

Windows are aesthetically quite pleasing because they are almost invisible. You can build two types of windows:

{{anchor|Full}}

{{anchor|One directional}}

Hitting the pane repeatedly with a weapon will smash it into a glass shard or, if reinforced glass, a glass shard and a metal rod.

[[APC|Info about Area Power Controllers can be found here.]]

Grilles are usually used in combination with directional windows. They allow gases and energy rounds to pass through them, but stop other objects. They can also be electrified for high security areas by building them on top of a live power wire.

{{anchor|Reflector}}

This is an angular beam reflector. Any energy projectiles hitting it will be reflected at an angle depending on rotation. There are also "box" reflectors that change the direction of struck projectiles to face a single way, regardless of where they impact the reflector. The supermatter engine uses reflectors to make its emitters' beams go through a single path. ''Ballistic projectiles will not be reflected!''
