'''POWERS DO NOT AUTOMATICALLY TURN ON IF OVER THE NEEDED VALUE. THEY HAVE A CERTAIN ''PERCENTAGE'' OF MANIFESTATION EVEN IF THE CONDITIONS ARE PERFECT.''' So if you have a block which does absolutely nothing, keep on trying! | ||
##Ask if a volunteering Assistant can donate their body to science and give verbal feedback on what they feel when you tamper with their blocks or inject them with the SE. | |||
##Or simply self-test like a boss! Note: These options are not the only ones, there are more strategies you can find out. | |||
#Write down what you find and move on to the next block! | |||
==== Self Testing ==== | |||
NT recently upgraded the DNA Scanners with a function that allows you to apply a buffer with a delay, effectively allowing you to modify your DNA without someone else manning the console. Using this method is a lot faster, although it will cause some radiation sickness. | |||
#To start with, keep a Clean SE on a buffer: if you get yourself a disability you want to be able to clear it! | |||
#Raise a block over 800 on your monkeyman, then save it on a different buffer. | |||
#Get the monkeyman out, press on the '''Occupant - Delayed''' button, and get in the scanner. It will automatically apply the buffer to you. | |||
##If you get a message, check the mutation list to see the effect; if it's a disability you should apply the clean buffer to yourself using the same method. | |||
##If you get no message (be sure that the block is over 800) then the block is a power! Raise the block to over C00, and it will be an active power block. | |||
###Applying an active power block to yourself won't necessarily give you the power; to know which power you're dealing with, you might want to create an injector: it will manifest the power, although temporarily. | |||
#If you got a power, save it on your unused buffer: after that, use that buffer instead of the clean one while testing, so you won't have to reactivate your powers again each time. | |||
#If you reach 100% radiation, you'll collapse: this will knock you out for a few seconds, but it's not as dangerous as it seems. Do remember to take some antitoxin once in a while though. | |||
#When you're satisfied with the powers you have, you can use the scanner to apply them permanently to yourself. | |||

* '''Rejuvinative Chemicals''' can be injected through the DNA Scanner Access Console. They slowly lower radiation (also seem to make the patient's genome more resistant to change). | * '''Rejuvinative Chemicals''' can be injected through the DNA Scanner Access Console.
