 * Lamarr can be used for internals.
-* If you are doing srs research as RD, remember that you can delete each technology from each server. So, end research, sync servers, go to this little room of mysteries and freezed air and delete them Durands from robotics server. Or better, just mech weapons.
+* If you are doing particularly dangerous research with a particularly untrustworthy science team, remember that you can delete each technology from each server. Once research is complete, it's perfectly alright for you to entire that alcove of mysterious computers and superchilled air to delete the mech weapons from the Robotics server.
 * You can restore dead AIs using the AI system integrity restorer consoles! There's one in the RD office, and one DIRECTLY TO THE RIGHT OF THE AI UPLOAD FOYER. That's right! When your AI dies, you don't have to fart around and say ''"uh, so, like, should we call the shuttle or something? or build a new one? herp?"'' Just use an intellicard on the destroyed AI core and slot it into the console! Wow! You're a helpful little furless monkey!
-* Unlike what some roboticists says, they must answer to the RD. If they are too stubborn to remember that, make yourself the joy to demote them so they remember next time. Otherwise, sync your research often, and go check on 'em to eventually congratulate them on their job. Bring them sulfuric acid so they don't ask you for boards too often. Don't hesitate to steal some materials if the miners are dragging it all to robotics: and remember, 10 sheets of everything is enough to make a good chunk o' stuff.
+* Unlike what some Roboticists say, they answer to the RD. If they are too stubborn to remember that, make some time to demote them and ensure they don't go on a vengeful mech rampage later. Otherwise, sync your research often, and go check on 'em to eventually congratulate them on their job. Bring them sulfuric acid so they don't ask you for boards too often. Don't hesitate to steal some materials if the miners are dragging it all to robotics: and remember, 10 sheets of everything is enough to make a good chunk o' stuff.

-::Tweak to the guide: 15 sheets of metal into the protolathe, 10 of glass into each of protolathe and circuit imprinter. Make 2 rods from a sheet of metal. Dump your acid to the imprinter.
-::Micro Manip, Capacitor/Tatobattery, High-Cap cell, analyzer, flamethrower (screwdriver your welder, stick rods to it, done). Print tracking beacon, mesons, mining drill, decon each in turn. Get teleporter board, decon. Print an exosuit fabricator board, decon.
-::Synchronize: Engineering 4, Data 4, Materials 3, Bluespace 3, Combat 2, Plasma 2
-::Now, my very silly way to avoid having to print a third mech syringe is that you ask medical for a health scanner. If they're being stupid and won't give you one (no seriously they have like 10 in the vendors) open O2 lockers until you can take one from an oxygen dep kit. Decon it for bio 1, the print and decon a Med HUD for bio 2. It's much cheaper than deconning a third syringe gun or MMI.
-::So you decon 2 super caps, 2 mech syringe guns, 2 mech tasers, 1 wormhole gen, then one each gold, uranium, and diamond pickaxe.
-::This allows you to build anything, even the more arcane things like MRSPACMAN generators (who wants to BURN DIAMONDS?) at minimal additional cost.
