 ==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!

-'''Consider making these modifications too:'''
+*Find the '''<span style="color:#004AFF">blue circled</span>''' gas pump called "Air to distro". You should either:
-*Go to the '''<span style="color:#FF8856">orange circled</span>''' computers on the left wall of the lower section of Atmospherics and set the output pressure to the max (4500 kPa). This allows the vent pumps to operate at the same pressure as the rest of the air mix (except the Air to distro pump, depending on your choice below).
-*Find the '''<span style="color:#004AFF">blue circled</span>''' gas pump called "Air to distro" in the top-left of Atmospherics. There are several choices you can make here.
+#Replace it with a volume pump set to max. This is almost always the best option, but if you're not aware of its effects then you should be read the below section on [[#Over-pressurizing_the_Distribution_Loop|over-pressurizing the distribution loop]].
+#Set the gas pump to 300 kPa.
-#Do nothing. The gas pump is already set to 4500 kPa. However, this is just a less efficient form of option 2 so if you're going to go this route you should just do option 2.
+*Go to each '''<span style="color:#FF8856">orange circled</span>''' computer and set the output pressure to the max (4500 kPa). This will pump gas out of the gas chambers at their maximum pressure and allow the rest of the airmix to operate at its full capacity.
-#Replace it with a volume pump set to max. The benefit of doing this is it allows areas to quickly repressurize to their normal pressure (for example, after a patched-up hull breach). However, there are also downsides. Air alarms can have their pressure setting manipulated to release the maximum amount, severely overpressurizing a room and creating a deadly environment. Another downside is that deconstructing a high pressure pipe will fling you across the room with a significant force and cause injuries (unless you see this as beneficial for preventing people from screwing with the piping).
-#Set the gas pump to 300 kPa. You lose the benefits of option 2 but it also becomes safe to deconstruct the piping in the station distribution loop.

+===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.
