Guide to Setting Up the Singularity: Difference between revisions

For rookie Engineers, it is recommended that the Engineering APC is re-configured before continuing. The APC handles the power distribution for a given room in the station. By modifying the APC controls, this will ensure the equipment needed to contain the singlo will be prioritzed and stay on for an extended duration while the engine is being set up. More experienced Engineers will not need to perform this unless an emergency arises.

# Stand adjacent to the Engineering APC. [[File:Engi unlockingapc.png|thumb|The Engineering APC is all its locked glory. ''Out-of-date as of 08 February 2015.'']]

# Unlock the APC controls by swiping your ID on it. To do this, take your ID (or ID-loaded PDA) in hand and click the APC. The little light in the upper right corner of the APC should turn green and a confirmation text in your chat window that says you've unlocked the APC. If already opened, the APC controls interface's grey inactive buttons should turn an active blue, and the message at the top of the screen will say to swipe your ID again to lock the interface.

# Now click the APC with a free hand to bring up the APC controls interface.

# Set the Equipment from Auto to On. This forces the APC to send all power to the Equipment, like the Emitters and the PA, first. Environment and Lighting will become a lower priority and turn off if there is not enough power for them. This gives you more time to <strike>screw around</strike> hone your singlo set-up skills.

# Swipe your ID on the APC again to lock the interface so that scurrilous mimes don't change the settings when you're not looking.
