= Your usual shift = | |||
When the shift starts, the first responsibility of the engineers is to start the singularity. This can be easily done by completing each of the steps below: | |||
*Assemble the [[Particle accelerator]] in the center of the engine room by wrenching, wiring and screwing all parts of it. | |||
*Put a [[Plasma tank]] into each of the [[Radiation Collector Array]]s. Optionally you can fill the tanks from the canister in secure storage so the engine provides more power. If you opt for this, be very careful to not let the plasma leak. | |||
*Grab a hardsuit and walk out into space south of the engine room. Turn on all the four [[Emitter]]s and lock them by swiping your ID. Also go around and turn on each of the [[Field generator]]s. If it's late to the shift the emitters might be unpowered preventing you from setting a containment field. Please check the [[Detailed guide to starting the singularity]]. | |||
*Head back in, dress in a radiation suit then use the console on the Particle Accelerator. Turn it on and set it to power 2. Observe the singularity growing, wear a meson scanner to avoid unpleasant side effects. Once the singularity is 2x2 in size, notch the power level back to 0. Leave it ON. | |||
*Finally, go into the SMES room and set each of the [[SMES]] units. If you filled the plasma tanks in step 2, set them to input level 200000, if you did not set them to input level 120000. Set output to 100000. Make sure both input and output is turned on. | |||
Setting the solar arrays: | |||
*Four solar arrays are on the station which can also provide power to the station. Grab a hardsuit and a couple of cables to set them up. | |||
*Complete the wiring on the array of your choice. | |||
*Head back in and set the solar control computer to Auto tracking. | |||
*Set the SMES unit to input level 70000 and input on. If you have the engine running, set output to off. Otherwise, set output level to 50000. | |||
*Repeat until all arrays are operational. | |||
Fixing hull breaches: | |||
*Grab a hardsuit and head to the scene. | |||
*First, replace all missing floor (use metal rods on space to build a lattice and floor tiles to build plating on a lattice) and walls facing space (click metal to build a girder and use metal on girder to finish wall). | |||
*Use a welder to repair broken plating. | |||
*Lay all missing wires, your priority is to restore power flow to other areas of the station if the wires leading to there are destroyed. Fix broken APCs. | |||
*Fix/rebuild essential equipment that was destroyed (computers, machines). | |||
*Repair internal walls and windows. [[Atmos technician]]s must have arrived by now, consult with them to not block their piping operations with things you build. | |||
*Lay floor tiles on plating to make it look nice again. Rebuild destroyed furniture. | |||
