*You do not need air to breathe as a xenomorph! Feel free to walk around the outside of the station and make a good safe area to plant weeds and store plasma on (i.e., the solars, or [[toxins test area]] if no one is bombing or has bombed it). You can also spit acid on windows/grilled to destroy them, so any window is a potential entry point. If you get spaced you're usually out of luck, though! | *You do not need air to breathe as a xenomorph!

*You can open any door that is not bolted by simply clicking it; it'll take a while to force it open, though. For a more permanent solution, corrode the door with acid. | |||
*Disarming is a guaranteed stun that can keep anyone down as much as you need. Just don't stop until you get to a nest. | |||
*The atmospherics vent leads to a safe 3x3 room with a single canister inside it. Go here if you really have nowhere else to go, as it's 99% safe. Only bombs can get you there and even the AI can't see that room. | *The atmospherics vent leads to a safe 3x3 room with a single canister inside it.

*When starting out, getting to virology will allow you to get a reinforced room with 4 free monkeys to infect. You can ventcrawl in with a scrubbers pipe into the monkey pen; all the other pipes are isolated. | |||
*'''Smash all of the lights you find!''' You can see perfectly in the dark, and facehuggers have even better vision. Humans, without flashlights, are completely blind. Break all those lights and humans will become afraid of entering the dark areas, with good reason. This goes double for a queen, since the queen can't really fight worth anything and relies on the facehuggers and other xenos to protect her. Note that weed nodes produce a lit tile. | *'''Smash all of the lights you find!''' You can see perfectly in the dark, and facehuggers have even better vision.

* | *Smashing cameras can hide you from the eyes of an AI, but it'll get warned that those cameras have been destroyed. | ||

* | *You regenerate health and plasma by staying on weeds. If you're in danger, spawn a weed to heal up. | ||
*Drones and Queens can create alien nests made out of resin. You can use the alien nest as a lethal weapon by downing your victims and buckling (drag and drop) them to the nest. They can get free on their own but it will take them two minutes, enough time to attach a facehugger to their face. | *Drones and Queens can create alien nests made out of resin.

*Not going to an isolated area. Picking somewhere with access to space is a good idea. Being in an area where you have no way out into space is a bad idea. | *Not going to an isolated area.

*Spacing yourself. If you find you are a retard/lagged a lot and spaced yourself, you can make resin walls in space to get a good footing and send yourself somewhere else. If not, you can throw an object to change your trajectory. | *Spacing yourself.

If not, you can throw an object to change your trajectory. You can also spit to change your direction. | ||
*Attempting to fight the station all by yourself. Don't try to be a hero, you are slow and very vulnerable. Try to stick to the relative safety of space. | *Attempting to fight the station all by yourself. Don't try to be a hero, you are slow and very vulnerable.
