Introduction

Welcome to a guide to toxins, this is not a guide made by a professional but by someone willing to remake a years out of date guide. If you do not know, Toxins is the place in science that makes bombs and or maxcaps by using a burn chamber to heat Plasma and or Tritium. In this guide, we will be making a Tritium maxcap. This guide will be in YogBox, so some intuition may be needed on other stations.

Your tools

The default toxins setup, while usable, is ineffective in making what we want and as such will require some rearranging. To do this, we will need:

a Wrench: to fix mistakes and secure canisters
an Analyzer: to check the gases in pipes and canisters
a Rapid Pipe Dispenser (RPD): to make new pipes. You can change what pipes it makes by clicking on it while it’s in your active hand

All of these should already be in toxins, so there is no need to hassle someone else for them.

Adjusting Toxins

Play spot the difference basically.

Part of the burn chamber is an input and output pipe that give and take out gasses of the burn chamber respectively, each with their own issues.

Output

The output pipe is simple to adjust, all you must do is replace the manual valve and gas pump with a volume pump and pipe. Ensure the volume pump is on, pumping to the east, and on max

Input

The input pipe is a bit trickier - first, the manual valve must be replaced with a manifold pipe facing west-north-east and directly north of that, another manifold pipe north-east-south, attached to the manifold pipe should be two connectors on the north and east side. Finally, replace the southern gas pump with a manual valve and made sure it is closed. Essentially, this setup allows much of the gases to go in all at once for a better burn and while the output dumps as much as it can into the Tritium canister.

Mixing

Next, we will fix the gas mixer.

The only thing needed to do is to replace the pipe under the gas flow meter with a gas mixer that connects to the pipes next to it and faces south. Open the mixer’s menu and set Node 1 to 4% and Node 2 to 96%, set the output pressure to the max, and turn the mixer ON. It may be worth taking the southern connector and attaching it directly to the mixer output rather than having a pipe separating the two, but it is not necessary.

Once the mixer is setup grab a plasma canister, wrench it on to the northmost connector, grab an Oxygen canister, wrench it onto the middle connector, grab an empty canister and of course, wrench it onto the southmost connecter.

Fun Fact: You can relabel the colour and name of the canister by pressing the ‘relabel’ function in their menu, this means that you can keep track of which canister has what gas and also that any canister can have any gas.

Mixing Gases

Assuming you connected all the canisters in the right positions, you are now putting a mix of gasses into the caution canister. The actual mix is 4% Plasma and 96% Oxygen, and it is impossible to explain why and what this will do as the atmospherics code is based on nearly two decades of spaghetti and duct tape.

None the less, we will need three full canisters of this mix which will also require more Oxygen canisters as well. The actual max limit of what a canister can handle is infinite, but for our intents, they can only go up to 4500kPa; it is not necessary to reach this limit but as close as you can. Do note that you can use empty oxygen canisters and fill them with a mix as well.

Once three mix canisters have been filled, grab an empty canister and set it to the end of the output pipe, it’s also best to relabel it to a Tritium canister, though it is not necessary. Once the Tritium canister is in place, check to make sure that the southern manual valve is closed and wrench the mix canisters on the input pipe’s connectors.

Now we will prep the actual chamber. First, we will depressurize the chamber by pressing the blast door button, waiting a few seconds, and closing them again. Then press the lighter button next to the door. Go ahead and press the blast door button once more, don't forget to close it again.

Making Tritium

Expand this.

Now’s the fun and relatively automatic part, making and heating the Tritium. Go to the Air Alarm by the burn chamber’s airlock doors, access its menu, go into scrubbers, and set the one and the only scrubber to ON, expanded, turn on Tritium, and turn off Carbon Dioxide. This will set the scrubber to ONLY scrub out Tritium, which is what we want. Once everything is set all that’s needed is it to open the manual valve and watch the gases burn.

If you’re not curious about what’s happening, skip this paragraph.
For those who remain, it is worth noting that as in real life, most things require Oxygen to explode and burn. As you might imagine Plasma is no different, but what is interesting to note is that the plasma burning is creating H3 or Tritium, which is great for fusion energy both in the game and in real life. Once the Tritium is formed, the scrubber is automatically and selectively siphoning it out and into the output pipe; and since the Tritium was made by burning Plasma, it’s already hot.

Making the Bomb

Once this burn is completed, you should be able to scan the Tritium canister and get ~22mols or ~2200kPa (Some of that may be water vapour). This is enough to make a few bombs.

To make the bomb we’ll be taking the heated Tritium and some Oxygen, putting them both in their individual tanks, and combining them in a setup that will combine the two on our command.

First, take an oxygen tank from the tank dispenser and go to your likely last full Oxygen canister. Take the oxygen tank and put it in the canister, open the canisters menu, set the pressure to the max, open the valve, wait for the oxygen tank to fill, close the valve, and eject your now full oxygen tank.

Next, take a plasma tank and fill it up with Tritium just like you did with the oxygen tank, and yes, we do want the Plasma that is already in the plasma tank.

Then take two remote signaling devices and set them both to the same frequency. Do NOT set them to the default frequency or someone with another remote signaling device could set your bomb off early.

Now that we have everything we need, we will make the bomb:

Take a tank transfer valve, there should be some on the table in toxins
Add the oxygen tank and Plasma/Tritium tank to the tank transfer valve
At this point, it is a bomb, be careful not to set it off or you will explode.
Screwdriver one of the remote signaling devices, it should say that it’s ready to be attached
Attach the device to the tank transfer valve/bomb so that you can detonate it on your signal. Keep the other one on you.

Explosions

Congrats, you now have a bomb you can set off at any moment now.

It’s best to say this now, do NOT blow up random parts of the station. If you want to blow something up, be it because you are a Traitor, there is a Blob, you want to invade Reebe, or some other reason. Adminhelp an admin before you detonate your bomb to make sure you have permission to do so, else you will be banned.

Obviously, the bomb testing site is an exception to this rule which we will be using in this guide.

Go over to the eastern room launch room that gives you a good view into space. In here you will launch, detonate, and scan the bomb.

All that’s needed it to place the bomb in the mass driver, press the launch button, check the camera to see if the bomb is clear to explode, and then send the signal to detonate it.

The tachyon-doppler array will automatically scan the explosion down and give some points to research. If you check back at the testing site you should see it is only barely there now, admire your new found work and try not to think about blowing up the rest of the station.

So what now?

Weeeelllll… not much actually. The note about how you shouldn’t blow anything up without ahelping is probably the most important thing in the guide, that’s because the devastation you can cause with these bombs is massive. You might be able to hand one off to the miners so they have a bit easier time mining, but really, unless you have a bomb target, there isn’t much to do.

-The first thing you should do in the Toxins Lab is open the interior airlock of the heating chamber, go inside the [[airlock]] and set both pumps to 4500KPa then leave, making sure the airlock is cycled shut behind you. There is a [[Temperature#lol fire is hot|very good reason]] to make sure that airlock stays closed, and you never get stuck inside.
+None the less, we will need three full canisters of this mix which will also require more [[Oxygen]] canisters as well. The actual max limit of what a [[canister]] can handle is infinite, but for our intents, they can only go up to 4500kPa; it is not necessary to reach this limit but as close as you can. Do note that you can use empty oxygen canisters and fill them with a mix as well.
-After this you need to leave Toxins, go up the hallway and through the purple doors into Toxin Storage, you'll want to grab 2 [[plasma]] canisters and an [[oxygen]] canister for now.
+[[File:Toxins5.png|300px|thumb]]
-Once you've gathered these canisters put them onto the 3 ports directly under the tables then grab a wrench, if there isn't one around there should be some in blue toolboxes in the R&D office at the top of the hall, then use the wrench on each canister to connect them to the ports. Once connected there should be a black pipe going from canister to the floor.
+Once three mix canisters have been filled, grab an empty [[canister]] and set it to the end of the output pipe, it’s also best to relabel it to a [[Guide_to_Atmospherics#Tritium|Tritium]] [[canister]], though it is not necessary. Once the [[Guide_to_Atmospherics#Tritium|Tritium]] [[canister]] is in place, check to make sure that the southern manual valve is closed and wrench the mix canisters on the input pipe’s connectors.
-DO NOT Open the valves!  This will flood toxins immediately.  The canisters will mix as soon as they are wrenched in.
+Now we will prep the actual chamber.
+First, we will depressurize the chamber by pressing the blast door button, waiting a few seconds, and closing them again. Then press the <font color="magenta">lighter button</font> next to the door.
+Go ahead and press the <font color="blue">blast door button</font> once more, '''don't forget to close it again.'''
+=Making [[Guide_to_Atmospherics#Tritium|Tritium]]=
+[[File:Toxins6.png|125px|right|thumb|Expand this.]]
+Now’s the fun and relatively automatic part, making and heating the [[Guide_to_Atmospherics#Tritium|Tritium]]. Go to the [[Air Alarm]] by the burn chamber’s airlock doors, access its menu, go into scrubbers, and set the one and the only scrubber to ON, expanded, turn on [[Guide_to_Atmospherics#Tritium|Tritium]], and turn off [[Guide_to_Atmospherics#CO2|Carbon Dioxide]]. This will set the scrubber to ONLY scrub out [[Guide_to_Atmospherics#Tritium|Tritium]], which is what we want. Once everything is set all that’s needed is it to open the manual valve and watch the gases burn.
-Use your [[PDA]] to check the contents of one of the canisters, it should be 66% plasma and 33% oxygen, if it isn't then you've done something wrong.
+''If you’re not curious about what’s happening, skip this paragraph.''<br>For those who remain, it is worth noting that as in real life, most things require [[Oxygen]] to explode and burn.

+=Making the Bomb=
+Once this burn is completed, you should be able to scan the [[Guide_to_Atmospherics#Tritium|Tritium]] [[canister]] and get ~22mols or ~2200kPa (Some of that may be [[Guide_to_Atmospherics#Water_vapour|water vapour]]). This is enough to make a few bombs.
-Once you've made sure your canisters have the correct contents close the 3 valves and use the wrench to disconnect the canisters, drag one onto the port directly to the right of the ones you used before then open the valve so the contents of the canister are pumped from the canister to the mixing room, if you changed the pump settings correctly it's quite likely that a light bulb will smash and ignite the mix for you; if not, you can use the ignition switch on the wall of the airlock to do so.
+To make the bomb we’ll be taking the heated [[Guide_to_Atmospherics#Tritium|Tritium]] and some [[Oxygen]], putting them both in their individual tanks, and combining them in a setup that will combine the two on our command.
-Now once your gas is busy superheating the chamber, go down the corridor to your right and grab one of the yellow canisters and attach that the the rightmost port back in the room, this canister will hold your final heated mix.
+First, take an [[oxygen tank]] from the tank dispenser and go to your likely last full [[Oxygen]] [[canister]]. Take the [[oxygen tank]] and put it in the [[canister]], open the canisters menu, set the pressure to the max, open the valve, wait for the [[oxygen tank]] to fill, close the valve, and eject your now full [[oxygen tank]].
-Give the mix a few minutes in the chamber then open the valve on the pipe leading to the port with your empty canister attached.
-After a minute or two your first canister might be empty, feel free to replace it with one of the other two, and again once that one runs out, to ensure there's plenty of mix.
+Next, take a [[plasma tank]] and fill it up with [[Guide_to_Atmospherics#Tritium|Tritium]] just like you did with the [[oxygen tank]], and yes, we do want the [[Plasma]] that is already in the [[Atmospherics items#Plasma_tank|plasma tank]].
-And if all is done correctly your yellow canister should now be flashing green, and when checked with your PDA should have a temperature of about 97000 degrees! Feel free to replace it with the other yellow canister once it's reach ridiculous pressure so you can harvest more precious gas.
+Then take two remote signaling devices and set them both to the same frequency. '''Do NOT set them to the default frequency or someone with another remote signaling device could set your bomb off early.'''
-Once you're all done close off the transfer valves and disconnect your canisters.
+Now that we have everything we need, we will make the bomb:
+#Take a tank transfer valve, there should be some on the table in toxins<br>
+#Add the [[oxygen tank]] and [[Plasma]]/[[Guide_to_Atmospherics#Tritium|Tritium]] tank to the tank transfer valve<br>
+#At this point, it is a bomb, be careful not to set it off or you will explode.<br>
+#Screwdriver one of the remote signaling devices, it should say that it’s ready to be attached<br>
+#Attach the device to the tank transfer valve/bomb so that you can detonate it on your signal. Keep the other one on you.
+=Explosions=
+[[File:Toxins9.png|225px|right|thumb]]
+Congrats, you now have a bomb you can set off at any moment now.
-While this method produces very hot gas, the gas is (mostly) [[CO2]]. In order to make a bomb you will require heated plasma, this can be achived by pumping this gas into a tank that already contains plasma to heat it up as described below, but a larger explosion is possible if you have a hot tank of pure plasma without mixing in any CO2. Other methods are possible, have fun experimenting and try not to destroy the station too many times.
+'''It’s best to say this now, do NOT blow up random parts of the station.''' If you want to blow something up, be it because you are a [[Traitor]], there is a [[Blob]], you want to invade [[Clockwork Cult|Reebe]], or some other reason. [[Adminhelp]] an admin before you detonate your bomb to make sure you have permission to do so, else you will be banned.
-== Speed Guide to Bombing ==
+Obviously, the bomb testing site is an exception to this rule which we will be using in this guide.
-So you want to be a "Evil" scientist and make bombs for various reasons, well apprentice if you follow these easy steps you'll be suicide bombing wizards in no time. Remember, a Wise Man once said in regards of suicide bombing for the greater good. '''Don't Miss.'''
- (Please Note you don't HAVE to do this in the exact order)
+Go over to the eastern room launch room that gives you a good view into space. In here you will launch, detonate, and scan the bomb.
-. Open the interior door of the Mixing Chamber and set both pumps to 4,500KPa. '''BE SURE TO NOT STEP ALL THE WAY IN THE INTERIOR CHAMBER.'''
-. Grab TWO plasma canister and ONE oxygen canister. Wrench them into the mixing ports, unless you fucked it up somehow '''ALL THREE''' canisters should read 66% Plasma and 33% Oxygen. (If you're not sure IF it's the proper amount, enable the gas scanner on your PDA and hit that canister with it.)
+All that’s needed it to place the bomb in the <font color="magenta">mass driver</font>, press the <font color="red">launch button</font>, check the <font color="cyan">camera</font> to see if the bomb is clear to explode, and then send the signal to detonate it.
-. (optional) For a max yielding bomb, take a trip down to atmos and get a chilled oxygen canister from them
+The tachyon-doppler array will automatically scan the explosion down and give some points to research. If you check back at the testing site you should see it is only barely there now, admire your new found work and try not to think about blowing up the rest of the station.
+=So what now?=
-. Once you got the canisters 66% Plasma and 33% Oxygen, take one of them and wrench it into the Input Port and turn the Red Wheel. Take one of the Empty Yellow canister and wrench it into the Output port. Once the plasma is in the mixing room, hit the ignition switch  and then it's time to play the waiting game. (If the Canister that you wrenched into the Input port runs dry replace it with another canister if you want.)
+Weeeelllll… not much actually. The note about how you shouldn’t blow anything up without ahelping is probably the most important thing in the guide, that’s because the devastation you can cause with these bombs is massive. You might be able to hand one off to the miners so they have a bit easier time mining, but really, unless you have a bomb target, there isn’t much to do.
-.Keep an eye on the meter for the Output Port, once it reads a temperature of 97,000 degrees. You're good to go! Turn the Red Wheel on the Output Port and fill er' Up!
-. Grab a Plasma tank and fill it with the super heated plasma, grab a Oxygen tank and fill it up with (Chilled?) oxygen.
-. Grab a Transfer Valve and slap the filled oxygen/plasma tank on it.
-.Decide how you want your bomb to detonate. (If you want to attach a signaler, proxy, or timer use the screw driver on the device and attach it to the transfer valve.)
-'''WARNING    WARNING'''
-. Shitcurity '''MAY''' kick down your door and harm-baton you for making a bomb even if it's just to blow up the bomb range.
-. If you're not an Antagonist and decide to mass bomb the station (or accidently fail a suicide bombing on a wizard) there's a good chance you'll get '''BANNED!!'''
-== Sealing the deal - Putting together a bomb ==
-[[File:Explosivebombthatgoesboom.png‎|100px|thumb|alt=Bomb|Bomb]]<br>
-Now you've got your super heated gas you'll want to go and get an oxygen canister from the storage and bring it back down to the Toxins Room, you'll be using this to top off oxygen tanks from the dispenser to your right, where the yellow canisters were.
-Now you'll want to start off by dispensing one or two plasma tanks, load into the white air scrubber next to the dispenser, making sure it's pressure is set to 1013KPa, and get rid of all that plasma. Then take the plasma tanks to a plasma canister and put a small amount of plasma in the tank, setting the pressure to 50KPa will work, but experiment with different amounts to change the size of the explosion. Once this is done go and slot them into one of your yellow canisters, making sure that the output pressure is at 1013KPa. This should result in a high pressure, high temperature tank of (mostly) plasma.
-Now take these tanks of heated gas and attach each one to a tank transfer valve, once you've done that it's back to the dispenser.
-This time get an equal amount of Oxygen tanks from the dispenser and fill them with oxygen from the tank you got at the start of this section, again make sure the pressure is set to 1013KPa. Now attach each to a transfer valve that already has a plasma tank on and you'll have a bomb, or several.
-From here on you have 3 options, timers, proximity sensors and remote signalling devices. Each of these is a method of setting off your bomb, for your first bomb you should use a proximity sensor. To attach these devices to a tank transfer valve you need to use a screwdriver on them, or in the case of proximity sensors, don't, because they come pre-ready for attachment. Grab a readied device and click on a tank transfer valve to attach it, all done, you have a bomb, ready for use.
-[[File:Toxins_Test_Chamber.png|200px|thumb|alt=Test Chamber|The Toxins Test Chamber is the location where all the explosions happen! Unless your a traitor, of course.]]<br>
-[[File:ToxinsTestChamberObservation.png|192px|thumb|alt=Observation Room|The observation room.]]<br>
-== Important note about remote signalling devices ==
-Some jokers like to randomly signal the default frequencies of these devices so either before or as soon as you've attached one to a bomb you'll want to open it's control panel by clicking it or the bomb in your hand and change the frequency and code so that you don't get a nasty surprise.
-== Testing your creations ==
-The Toxins department comes with a built in testing arena! It's great for testing the power and destruction of your newly created bombs. If you go out the right exit of Toxins and continue walking you will find yourself in a small room. The first things you will most likely spot will be the mass driver and the observation screens. Make sure your bomb is completely set-up and double-check it, then drop it on the mass driver and head over to its control. Click on the control and the bomb will be launched into the toxins test chamber. Now head over to the observation screens and click one of them, which will allow you to view the bomb explosion through the test chamber cameras. This is the recommended way to test your creations. If you decide to test your bombs elsewhere expect a wave of security to come and beat your ass for destroying parts of the station. Enjoy your explosions.
-== Using your creations ==
-Bombs are designed to be used with mining to clear out regular rocks. If your a traitor you can also use bombs as a quick way to get the shuttle called.
-== Notes ==
-Seriously, don't go and randomly set these off on the station if you aren't a syndicate or otherwise antagonistic character, you'll probably get job-banned or permabanned.
-== Failed ==
