You are the Station Engineer, everything that breaks is supposed to be fixed by you. You get a lot of useful tools to fix various things on the station. A good engineer responds to emergencies promptly and repairs things fast so the rest of the crew can go on with their life.

*[[Metal]] is the most commonly needed material. You can build every kind of things out of it. You can find metal in [[Engineering storage]], [[Engineering secure storage]], [[EVA]] and [[Auxiliary Tool Storage]]. Cargo can get you more if you run out. Metal can be turned into [[metal rods]], another commonly needed material.

When the shift starts, the first responsibility of the engineers is to start the singularity. This can be easily done by completing each of the steps below:
When the shift starts, the first responsibility of the engineers is to start the singularity. This can be easily done by seeing the [[Guide to Setting Up the Singularity|guide]].


*Assemble the [[Particle accelerator]] in the center of the engine room by wrenching, wiring and screwing all parts of it.
Setting the solar arrays: [[Guide to Setting Up the Solars]]
*Put a [[Plasma tank]] into each of the [[Radiation Collector Array]]s. Optionally you can fill the tanks from the canister in secure storage so the engine provides more power. If you opt for this, be very careful to not let the plasma leak.
*Grab a hardsuit and walk out into space south of the engine room. Turn on all the four [[Emitter]]s and lock them by swiping your ID. Also go around and turn on each of the [[Field generator]]s. If it's late to the shift the emitters might be unpowered preventing you from setting a containment field. Please check the [[Detailed guide to starting the singularity]].
*Head back in, dress in a radiation suit then use the console on the Particle Accelerator. Turn it on and set it to power 2. Observe the singularity growing, wear a meson scanner to avoid unpleasant side effects. Once the singularity is 2x2 in size, notch the power level back to 0. Leave it ON.
*Exit the accelerator room and close the shutters.
*Finally, go into the SMES room and set each of the [[SMES]] units. If you filled the plasma tanks in step 2, set them to input level 200000, if you did not, set them to input level 120000. Set output to 100000. Make sure both input and output is turned on.
*From time to time, check that all is well with the engine. Malicious people or silicons might have messed with it, which can result in a disaster. Make sure the containment field is up and that accelerator and SMES units are on the correct settings.


Setting the solar arrays:
*Four solar arrays are on the station which can also provide power to the station. Grab a hardsuit and a couple of cables to set them up.
*Complete the wiring on the array of your choice.
*Head back in and set the solar control computer to Auto tracking.
*Set the SMES unit to input level 70000 and input on. If you have the engine running, set output to off. Otherwise, set output level to 50000.
*Repeat until all arrays are operational.

The singularity is the station's main power source, if you have been selected to set it up heres how:
 
==1. Set smes input to max==
 
==2. Fill plasma tanks and load into radiation collectors, found at the bottom of eng==
 
==3. Go EVA and click every emiiter and shield generator, try to not get hit by emmiter beams, then use your id on the emitters to lock them VITAL==
 
==4. Set up Particle accelerator==
, wrench all parts in place, making sure they are facing the correct way, screw open the ports,
wire them close the ports,
connect console to it with wire.
 
==5. Fire the PA!,(with a hazmat suit equipped) set it to setting 2 to begin with, then when a singu is born, turn it down to 0,but don't turn it off==
 
==6.Close the radiation shutters==
 
==7. check your sing regualarly, treat it like a baby==

The singularity is the station's main power source, for a more detailed guide on setting up the Singularity, see [[Guide to Setting Up the Singularity]].


*Set SMES input to max.
*Fill plasma tanks and load into the radiation collectors, found at the bottom of [[Engineering]].
*Go EVA and click every emitter and shield generator, try to not get hit by emitter beams, then use your ID on the emitters to lock them (extremely important).
*Set up Particle Accelerator, wrench all parts into place, making sure they are facing the correct way, screw open the ports,
wire them, close the ports, connect console to it with wire.
*Fire the PA! (with a hazmat suit equipped) Set it to setting 2 to begin with, then when a Singularity is born, turn it down to 0, but don't turn it off.
*Close the radiation shutters
*Check your sing regularly, treat it like a baby.


=== OH GOD ITS LOOSE ===
There are a few ways to stop a Singo: Pray, hope it gets bored, throw a bag of holding into it, blow it up with a bomb, embrace the sing and die or set up shields, FAR easier to call the shuttle.
