What you do is rather simple, if there is any sort of environmental disaster, head off and fix it! You have your tools, your [[headset|engineering headset]], pipe, space heaters, and atmospheric survival equipment. When things get quiet, sit back and start building an on station super slide. | What you do is rather simple, if there is any sort of environmental disaster, head off and fix it! You have your tools, your [[headset|engineering headset]], pipe, space heaters, and atmospheric survival equipment. When things get quiet, sit back and start building an on-station super slide. Alternatively, make wacky engine designs, produce deathmixes that almost instantly kill or internals that grant superspeed and stun immunity, or ship super high value gas and make cargo jealous! Atmospherics is a job for those who want to explore and have the time and autism to do so, just when you think you've discovered everything, you'll find something new to keep you busy, until eventually you burn out. | ||

Know how to fix sabotage to [[Atmospherics]]. | '''Bare minimum requirements:''' Fight fires, restore the atmosphere in rooms that can't support life.

===Laying Some Pipe=== | ===Laying Some Pipe=== | ||
You have two machines! One Machine is for for gas pipes, and one for disposal pipes. To install gas pipes, simply click on them in your hand until they are properly aligned, drop them on the tile they are needed, and use the wrench on them. For disposal pipes, one must drag them into position, wrench them in place on the subfloor, then weld them to seal it all together. A personal locker makes a great method to haul all the air pipes you'd ever need between job sites, but disposal pipes must be dragged one at a time. Expect Security to frequently and irrationally demand the locker be checked for bodies, usually three or four times a minute, if you use the main hallways. | You have two machines!

===Ascending to Godhood=== | |||
Silly things like setting up atmospherics is for puny mortals and chumps. After doing the absolute bare minimum of your job, you can go and do the most high-risk project on the station: Fusion engines. A starter atmos tech may make large amounts of tritium and ship it to cargo and be happy he made 20k credits. An atmos god at the higher ends of the autism spectrum can make canisters worth several million, or special internal tanks that give superspeed and complete stun immunity for maximum greytide, or infinite electrical power with more energy than the big bang. Atmospherics is about experimentation and making new things, unlike regular engineers who do the same thing over and over again. Be warned however, that the process of discovery is particularly arcane and the guidance of an atmos elder makes it much, much easier. | |||
