==[[Cyborg]]s==

The [[Cyborg]] is the Roboticist's primary creation. They are tasked with helping the station's inhabitants in their daily life and trying to kill everyone when the [[AI]] is insane. Each cyborg is required to follow the AI's laws, unless they aren't synced, and will only be synced to one AI in the event that more than one exists.

===Cyborg Creation===

'''Total Part Cost:''' 100,000 [[File:Metal.png|Metal]]

##Another alternative is printing a B.O.R.I.S module after the adequate research, turning that borg into an AI Shell.

}}

===Cyborg Maintenance===

In the beginning of a maintenance process, you need to open the Cyborg's maintenance cover. To open it:

#[[File:Crowbar.png]] Use a crowbar to close the cover.

#[[File:Id_regular.png]] Use your ID Card to lock the Cyborg. Borgs can't lock their panel. An emagged cover can't be locked.

====Cyborg Repairs====

Cyborgs will often come to you for repairs if damaged.

#Close the cover and lock the Cyborg.

Engineering cyborgs can repair dents on themselves (if not critically damaged) and on their fellow cyborgs. They cannot repair burn damage though, since they cannot remove power cells to reach the wiring.

====Cyborg Batteries====

You will often see at least one Cyborg come to your assembly line to ask for an upgrade.

#[[File:Power_cell.png]] Insert a new battery.

#Close the cover and lock the Cyborg.

====Cyborg Radios====

Cyborgs can be installed with radio encryption keys, allowing them to communicate on secure department channels. Using a screwdriver on a headset will remove the encryption keys.

#[[File:Encryption_key.png]] Insert an encryption key (or screwdriver to remove the current key).

#Close the cover and lock the Cyborg.

====Reviving Cyborgs====

A cyborg that has failed but not been turned into scrap can be repaired back to working order.

#[[File:Circuitboard.png]] Insert the Emergency Restart Module.

#Close the cover and lock the Cyborg.

#Unlock and open the Cyborg's cover.

#[[File:Circuitboard.png]] Insert the Upgrade Module (or emag to subvert).

#Close the cover and lock the Cyborg.

====Resetting Cyborg Models====

For info on how to reset a cyborg's model, check out the [[Hacking#Cyborgs|Guide to Hacking]].

====Deconstructing Cyborgs====

Cyborgs can be deconstructed to remove their MMI/Posibrain and get their parts back.

#[[File:Wrench.png]] Wrench to disassemble.

Alternatively, for steps 4 and 5, you can use a Robotics console.

===Cyborg Upgrades===

[[Roboticist]]s can construct upgrade modules for cyborgs. Most modules must be researched before they can be printed. Material costs can be lowered by upgrading the Exosuit Fabricator.

==Bots==

As a Roboticist, you serve another important purpose: making robots. Robots can benefit the station in many ways, and are really easy to create.

You can '''rename incomplete bots''' by using a pen on them!

Heals anyone nearby. Can be equipped with a beaker to stick people with instead of the default medicine, and when [[Syndicate Items#Cryptographic Sequencer|emagged]] it will inject people with [[Guide to Chemistry#Toxin|toxin]], repeatedly.

*1x [[File:Healthanalyzer.png]]Health Analyzer

*1x [[File:Prox_Sensor.png]]Proximity Sensor

#Insert the [[Proximity Sensor]] and your Medibot is ready!

}}

====Cleanbot====

Cleanbots are great, as they serve the exact same purpose as the Janitor. What makes it even better is that it uses Space Cleaner to mop, so no slipping on everything! When Emagged (or hacked) it will spew slippery foam and melt people with acid.

====[[Securitron]]====

#Toss in a [[Stun Baton]] and your Securitron is ready!

}}

====AtmosBot====

This bot looks just like a grenade with legs! It will use foamed metal to secure any breaches it sees. If [[Emag|emagged]] it will explode instead of using foam, creating even more damage to the station.

#Add a [[Proximity Sensor]].

}}

====General Beepsky====

This is General Beepsky (or General Grieffous, your pick). A terrifying 4 esword wielding nightmare-bot created by a mad roboticist with the help of some leftover eswords, this thing is a [[Traitor|traitor's]] worst nightmare. It takes down criminals by delivering deadly spin attacks, instantly downing a target with it's rapidly rotating eswords. It gets even worse when a [[Syndicate Items#Cryptographic Sequencer|Cryptographic Sequencer]] gets involved, as General Beepskey will begin to mercilessly track, kill, maim and subsequently disembowel any target he comes across.

#[[File:Power_cell.png|Power Cell]] Insert any [[Power Cell]]. Your 100% safe robot officer is complete!

}}

====[[Drone]]====

A disposable little drone that runs around and repairs things. Controlled by players, and can't interact with any other beings at all (besides other drones). Usually good to make lots of these to let ghosts get back into the round.

{{GeneralConstruction

|name=Drone

#That's it! Any ghost can click on the drone shell to take control of it and start repairing the station.

}}

==Exosuits==

These can be tremendously helpful or tremendously annoying depending on who uses it. They take more work to make than robots and require special circuits, which are obtained through the [[Quartermaster]] or the Research and Development console.

'''Special abilities''': Is fully spaceproof and can function as a ghetto hardsuit for EVA, if a bit slow and unmaneuverable. Can equip the ghetto mech equipment that you can also craft, specifically the ghetto clamp and drill.

'''Integrity''': 100  

'''Equipment slots''': 6

'''Integrity''': 200

'''Armor''': 20 melee, 10 bullet. 15.000°K max temperature.

Examples are a mounted sleeper that can carry and stabilize patients, as well as a syringe gun that can scan and replicate most reagents.

'''Equipment slots''': 3

'''Special abilities''': Can overload leg actuators to move at very high speeds and smash through walls, at the cost of extreme energy consumption.

'''Description''': While lightly armored, the Gygax has incredible mobility thanks to its ability that lets it smash through walls at high speeds.

* 125.000 Metal[[File:Metal.png|Metal]]

* 15.000 Glass[[File:Glass.png|Glass]]

* 10.000 Titanium[[File:Titaniumdone.png|Titanium]]

'''Special abilities''': Has devastating punches that can knock people out. Can enable defense mode, which increases its armor's deflect chance, but leaves the mech unable to move or turn.

'''Description''': A slow but beefy combat exosuit that is extra scary in confined spaces due to its punches and defense mode. Xenos hate it!

===<span style="color:white">...</span>===

'''<span style="color:white">Description</span>'''<span style="color:white">: A nigh invisible, silent, fast assassination mech popular among mimes, equipped with a suppressed S.H.H. "Quietus" Carbine that injects you with mute toxin and a mounted RCD.<br> It distinguishes itself in being incredibly weak, but very hard to see and making no noise when walking or turning. It also packs a punch, knocking back people similarly to the Durand.</span>

==Exosuit operation and maintenance==

To climb into an exosuit, just drag and drop your character onto it.

DNA locking only allows the person matching the recorded Unique Enzymes (UE) to enter the mech.

*Enter the exosuit and open the stats menu.

*Unter Permissions&Logging, click "DNA-lock".

*To remove the lock, hit "[ Reset ]" next to your DNA string under "DNA-locked:".

For external damage to the exosuit, simply use a welder on it. When a mech takes damage while its integrity is below a certain threshold, it has a chance to break internally. The reports for internal damage can be seen in the stats window.

#[[File:Wrench.png|Wrench]] Tighten the bolts

#[[File:CableCoils.png|Cable Coil]] Repair the wiring (costs 5 cable coil)

==Exosuit Equipment==

Various tools and weapons can be attached to exosuits, providng them with ability to perform different tasks. Exosuit equipment is built by Exosuit Fabricator ("Exosuit Equipment" menu).
