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!

===Total Emergency: The Fire Axe and you=== | ===Total Emergency: The Fire Axe and you=== | ||
The Fire Axe is your tool at emergencies (because you can use it like a crowbar to open door when the power is off) and your weapon (traitors, revolutionaries and cultist usually try to steal the axe because you can kill a person in seconds). The fire axe is protected with a Fire Axe Cabinet, to take it, just take a welding tool, turn it on and hit the fire axe cabinet a lot of times and take the axe. you can also use a multi tool to hack it open, but who does that? | The Fire Axe is your tool at emergencies (because you can use it like a crowbar to open door when the power is off) and your weapon (traitors, revolutionaries and cultist usually try to steal the axe because you can kill a person in seconds).

===Window Repair=== | ===Window Repair=== | ||
A good way to be proactive within your job is fixing the broken windows that occur every round. Gird your loins with a toolbelt if you can, grab some metal and glass, and patrol the outer passageways. Almost always, the task requires a low-pressure or no-pressure exposure to the great beyond. By creatively rotating and moving surviving windows you can lock in your precious atmosphere, then replace the broken glass and grill. The truly hardcore technicians do minor spacewalks with only the flame of their welding torch for heat, sipping sweet oxygen through their breath masks behind a welding helmet. Are you hardcore? No, you're not. Go back to being a hardsuited engiqueer who can't find a hull breach without a pair of mesons and never bothers to fix them anyway. | A good way to be proactive within your job is fixing the broken windows that occur every round.

You can purge the air of of rooms using an emergency siphon, or change the air filter controls by deal with the air alarm attached to walls! Just take your ID in hand, and click to un/lock it and play with the controls. Setting up the pumps in Atmos now allows you to pump any gas to any point in the station! | You can purge the air of of rooms using an emergency siphon, or change the air filter controls by deal with the air alarm attached to walls!

===Laying | ===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!

If the station is going all to hell, or you are just bored, grab that nifty axe, have two open hands, and set it to wield. Congrats, you can now kill anything you feel like in just one hit. This goes for windows too. But remember: if you have that axe, odds are every fucker and the clown will try to kill you for it. It can also be used as a crowbar, but you will be too busy bathing in the blood of your enemies to notice. | If the station is going all to hell, or you are just bored, grab that nifty axe, have two open hands, and set it to wield.

===Declare Independence=== | |||
One of the prime roles of Atmospherics is to declare yourself as an independent nation known as Atmosia. Ally yourself with Janitopia, and then demand that the station heads provide you with weaponry lest you flood the station with plasma. Once you've successfully done this wait approximately three minutes, and all the station heads and security will storm atmospherics and beat you down. Once you have announced this an act of war and are freed, proceed to launch an attack on the Brig and Bridge by flooding them with CO2 then await your job ban. | |||

Traitor atmos techs have the potential to become one of the most devastating forces on station. [[ | Traitor atmos techs have the potential to become one of the most devastating forces on station. [[Guide_to_Atmospherics#Being_a_Traitorous_Scum|If you know what you're doing]], you can pretty much flood the station with whatever harmful gas you want. If you do, remember to take measures against the AI messing with your work, and always keep your internals on. This means either subverting the AI or cutting its access. If you're feeling particularly daring, you can unwrench the pipes and rearrange them, ensuring the AI cannot fix it. Bolt the doors, or set the room on fire to prevent humans from fixing it too. Depending on how bad it's going to be, you might want to procure a [[Syndicate_Items#Syndicate_Space_Suit|space suit]] to escape the hell you've created. | ||
