(Updated the list of operating modes on the air alarms to what we currently have.) |

The alarms can be set to a number of modes: | The alarms can be set to a number of modes: | ||
*'''Filtering''' - The default setting. Note that most scrubbers won't filter out plasma or other gases unless you set them to, so do that! | *'''Filtering''' - The default setting. Note that most scrubbers won't filter out plasma or other gases unless you set them to, so do that! | ||
*'''Contaminated''' | *'''Contaminated''' - Quickly scrubs out anything that is not oxygen or nitrogen. | ||
*'''Draught''' - This filters out air slowly, creating a draught. Useful if you need to drain a small amount of air due to overpressurization. | *'''Draught''' - This filters out air slowly, creating a draught. Useful if you need to drain a small amount of air due to overpressurization. | ||
*'''Cycle''' - Drains all the air, then replaces it. Try not to use it if there's nothing toxic in the air. | *'''Cycle''' - Drains all the air, then replaces it. Try not to use it if there's nothing toxic in the air. | ||

Normally the vents will fill the room slowly by default, though using some filled Portable Air Pumps or Air Canisters, you can refill the area much more quickly. | Normally the vents will fill the room slowly by default, though by using some filled Portable Air Pumps or Air Canisters, you can refill the area much more quickly. | ||

A fire is easily the most fun thing that can happen in a round (for you anyway); successful firefighting requires a real understanding of the atmospheric system. At all times, wear necessary tools in a toolbelt and carry your firefighting gear in your backpack. When the call goes out, don your fire suit and gas mask, get yourself running on internals, put your oxygen tank ''on your back'', and carry your fire first aid kit, extinguisher and reinforced glass in your backpack (carried in a hand slot). | A fire is easily the most fun thing that can happen in a round (for you anyway); successful firefighting requires a real understanding of the atmospheric system.
