'''<big>W.I.P. Cleanup of the Guide to Atmospherics</big>'''
This is the Guide to [[Atmospherics]]. When properly initialized, Atmosia can keep the station aired-up through nearly any emergency.  Improperly initialized, it's a waste of space at best and an outright fire hazard at worst.

==Setting Up Atmospherics==
'''Familiarize yourself with using the RPD, you're going to need it to setup atmospherics. Click [here or something] to find out how to use the RPD.'''
It's about time we stop with the theory <s>and throw it out the window</s> and get down to business. Your RPD can dispense an infinite amount of pipes and your wrench can be used to connect/disconnect pipes to each other.
Next up is a very simple step by step guide how to set up the Atmospherics pipe system to be (nearly) as efficient as possible. Note that this is only one style how to set up the pipes, there are many ways and they all have their own pros and cons!

===Over-pressurizing the Distribution Loop===
Here are some pros and cons of over-pressurizing the station distribution loop. The station distribution loop is the dark blue pipes that loop around the station and [[Traitor|usually]] provide a breathable airmix to the many connected vents.
'''Pros'''
#Allows areas to quickly repressurize to their normal pressure, for example after a hull breach has been patched.
#More resistant to tampering by inserting harmful gases since the loop is already full.
#Discourages people messing with the piping as deconstructing these highly pressurized pipes will fling the individual across the room and do a bit of damage.
'''Cons'''
#[[Malfunction|Nefarious]] [[Traitor|individuals]] can tamper with air alarms to release the full pressure of the piping into a room and create a deadly environment for anybody inside.
#Doing any legitimate work that would require deconstructing the piping will fling you and do some damage.
Done correctly, Atmosia should be pumping good air just faster than it's lost, and draining bad air away as fast as the traitors can set it on fire or alternatively draining good air away as fast as a malf AI can siphon it. You can go kick back in the bar like a boss and wait for the inevitable minor station damage and cries of "Call the shuttle!" on the radio from folks who don't even know it ain't a big deal.

==Setting Up Atmospherics==
It's about time we stop with the theory <s>and throw it out the window</s> and get down to business. The two machines at the top can dispense infinite pipes, and your wrench can disconnect and connect pipes to each other. Remember, you cannot disconnect pumps if they have too much pressure in them.

Next up is a very simple step by step guide how to set up the Atmospherics pipe system to be (nearly) as efficient as possible. Note that this is only one style how to set up the pipes, there are many ways and they all have their own pros and cons!
*'''For the love of Nanotrasen, at least do this:'''
#Get a Volume Pump from the [[Pipe Dispenser]] at the north side of Atmos and replace the '''<span style="color:green">green circled</span>''' normal pump with a volume pump, making the waste gas -system >100x more efficient. We want the waste gas sucked from the station into the waste system as soon as possible!
#Set all '''<span style="color:red">red circled</span>''' filters ON and set them to maximum pressure (4500 kPa) so waste gases will actually be moved.
*'''This is good as well:'''
#Go through the N2 and O2 (besides southern wall) and set their output to 4500 kPa.
#Set the pumps next to the computers at 4500 kPa also, so the gases being pushed out of the gas-room get moved fast too.
#Set the Air-computer's output to maximum (5066.25 kPa).
#Replace the '''<span style="color:blue">blue circled</span>''' normal pump with a Volume Pump as well, but notice; there are risks involved and all of them are covered at the pros and cons -section below.
'''Pros and cons of this whole setup:'''
::'''+ Quick toxin filtering:''' In case of a toxin leak, waste gas will be sucked out quickly (if the area's air alarms are set to filter out all the toxins, that is, by default they are NOT filtering anything).
::'''+ Quick repressurization:''' In case of a breach, air will be poured out with a nice pace, helping you re-pressurize the room quicker after the breach is fixed.
::'''+ Reduced pipe sabotaging:''' With this setup, its harder for the grifflords to fuck up pipes in the maintenance tunnels. In a room with the default 101.3 kPa atmospheric pressure, pipes with more than 303.9 kPa pressure fling the unwrencher in a random direction.
::'''- Air Alarm sabotages:''' The station is more vulnerable for sabotage through [[Air alarm|air alarms]]. Someone can quite easily hack an air alarm somewhere and set the vents to push out air at maximum pressure, resulting in overpressurization.
::'''- Space wind:'''  In case of a breach, until the hole is fixed, you'll probably spend a small while fighting against the huge air current, a.k.a. "space wind", if you don't switch the vents off during the repair. This is mostly just annoying.
::'''- Very slow pipe manipulating:''' If you suddenly have to modify any of the distribution pipes around the station, you need to lower the pressure to under 303.9 kPa if you don't want to be flung around like a leaf in the space wind, which can take a long time.
A little safer, but not as efficient, way of setting up the system is leaving the '''<span style="color:blue">blue circled</span>''' normal pumps completely alone or maybe raising the pressure to 315 kPa. This pressure is enough for quick pipe manipulating and for a sufficient air distribution.
Done correctly, Atmosia should be pumping good air just faster than it's lost, and draining bad air away as fast as the traitors can set it on fire or alternatively draining good air away as fast as a malf AI can siphon it. You can go kick back in the bar like a boss and wait for the inevitable minor station damage and cries of "Call the shuttle!" on the radio from folks who don't even know it ain't a big deal.
