Guide to Setting Up the Singularity
Welcome to Engineering, scrub!
This is where you'll start off. It's a scary place out there, but have no fear!
Setting Up the Singularity
For starters, the following is a basic graph for setting up the singularity.
As you can see, the particle accelerator (AKA the "PA") cannot start until the following are completed:
- Configuring the SMES
- Loading the radiation collectors
- Starting the emitters and field
- Setting up the particle accelerator/PA
The particular order doesn't matter - in a sense - as long as they are done first. If these conditions are not met before starting up the PA, then you will start up a free, unbound singularity that will roam randomly. Don't let that happen! The PA's job is to help create the singularity itself, hence why it is important for the above to be completed first.
An Optional But Recommended Tip
It is recommended that you change the configuration of the Engineering APC before continuing, as it will ensure your equipment needed for this process will stay on for the duration.
Go to the Engineering APC. With your ID in your active hand, swipe it by clicking it.
A little light should turn green, and you should get a confirming text in your chat that says you unlocked it. Now click the APC with a free hand to bring up a popup.
Set the Equipment to On instead of Auto.
Configuring the SMES

These three white thingamabobs are your SMES cells. They hold the power generated from the singularity. Each round, they start off with enough power to last you through setting up the singularity. You should configure these a bit before moving on. To alter the configuration of a SMES cell, click on it (you have to be standing within 1 tile of it).
These settings should last you throughout your time setting up the singularity. Hitting the left M will set any given level to 0 . Hitting the right M will set any given level to 200,000. You will alter this later, once the singularity is up and running well.
