* '''An easy way to remember where all those maintenance tunnels and solar arrays are; Fore = north, aft = south, starboard = east and port = west.''' | |||
* You can click on the 'Chat' button at the bottom of the Dreamseeker window, and never have to type 'Say' again. BYOND's command-enter bar has auto-complete. Sui will auto-complete to Toggle-Suit-Sensors, sa will auto-complete to Say ". Type "id" or "pen", hit space and enter to remove said item from your PDA. This doesn't work if you have more than one ID on your person. | |||
* Control + arrow key makes you face that direction so long as you are not clicked into the chat bar. Alt + Click on a tile near you to open a list of its items in a tab. You can right-click on a tile to see what area it is assigned to. If you can't see it, then you're looking at an area you are not in. If you can see it, then you are in that area. Good for locating where shuttles will dock, or where a pod used to be. | |||
* Have throw active and you will automatically catch things. Dodgeballs are bugged and you can't catch them. | * Have throw active and you will automatically catch things. Dodgeballs are bugged and you can't catch them. | ||
* Some things that are normally static and dispense when clicked on (paperboxes, donut boxes) can be picked up by dragging to your character, which will put them in your active hand should it be empty (wonderful bonus for security officers needing to centralize their donut stock or arms-dealer cultists when they're mass-producing stun and teleport runes). | * Some things that are normally static and dispense when clicked on (paperboxes, donut boxes) can be picked up by dragging to your character, which will put them in your active hand should it be empty (wonderful bonus for security officers needing to centralize their donut stock or arms-dealer cultists when they're mass-producing stun and teleport runes). | ||
* You can click the internals on/off status display thing to turn your internals off or on, without having to fiddle with the tank in your belt. Shit saved me once. | * You can click the internals on/off status display thing to turn your internals off or on, without having to fiddle with the tank in your belt. Shit saved me once. | ||
* You can drag two things at once, as long as one of them can have the grab intent used on it. Ctrl+click one and grab intent the other. Very useful in Xenobiology where you're trying to drag a bunch of monkey or slime corpses at the same time. You can do something similar with non-grabbable things with telekinesis and Ctrl+clicking. Added: You can actually move 3 things with grabs-switch to the other hand. If this stops you from pulling, then it's only 2 things. | * You can drag two things at once, as long as one of them can have the grab intent used on it. Ctrl+click one and grab intent the other.

* :l, :r, and :i are some of the most important things to know how to use in the event of radio issues. :r and :l will attempt to speak into radios held in either your right or left hand, and :i can be used to speak into an intercom if you're adjacent to it. | |||

You can also use period or a # instead of colon for non general chat. No more accidents! | |||

* As a ghost click Observe to follow Nuke Disk during nuke ops. You can also observe the AI eye and follow the core. You can stop observing by using the Cancel Camera View verb. A good thing to do is teleport to the wizard's den and sit on top of the intercom there, then observe whoever/whatever you want. You'll hear all the radio chatter this way. Double click to teleport as ghost. | |||
