You can find welding helmets, toolbelts, multitools, mesons, all sorts of good stuff just lying around in maintenance.
Clowns can HONK more frequently by hitting themselves with the horn instead of just using it normally.
Meat steaks are way more efficient to make than burgers and have the same nutrition values too. If you run out of salt and pepper, there's another set in the bar.

Bonus, if you run out of salt, there's this thing called sodium chloride that chemistry can make.
Pepper, though, is probably non-replaceable outside Cargo.

If all the toolbelts are gone and you desperately need one, go to the public garden in arrivals and put all the fruit there in the biogenerator. There is enough for 400+ biomass

You realise Paprika is actually the name of a spice right? Use it in tomato sauces for things like pasta, its great!
It's also an Anime film about dreams/reality, where inception got basicly all of its ideas from.

Or if you're not a FILTHY PLEB, put one (or more) of the watermelons into the seed extractor, giving you potency 50 watermelon seeds, so you can shit out infinity leather jackets/belt after 2 minutes.

the thing about naming plant parts is that fruit is a very well defined term while vegetable is more nebulous and generally means "plants that we eat, only not the really sweet ones." Peppers are a fruit, but most people also call them a vegtable, same with tomatoes. In celery we eat the stem, carrots the root, ect. Although we are pretty far off topic now

Unless you're actually a botanist in real life only people trying to look smart try to enforce the botanical definitions of fruits and vegetables, the culinary definitions which classify tomatoes and bell peppers as vegetables is all that actually matters to a layperson.

I don't see what needs fixing? My sentence is still valid English grammar, it just has the word "buffalo" in it three times less.

The pocket laser that the RD, librarian, and lawyer spawn with is insanely robust. It's basically a ranged flash that never runs out that can also disable cameras and borgs. Shine it in somebody's eyes before you move in to stun them and there's no way they'll disarm your prod.

Even better: screwdriver it and give it a better microlaser. It will become powerful enough to instantly blind people instead of just flashing them.

It also works through eye protection. Annoyingly robust, and you can't tell who did it easily, since it has no message, AND you're temporarily blinded.

DIsarm intent is good in an open area like a hallway, or a very long and narrow area like maint.

But grab intent is the best intent in a closed space like a brig cell. A shitcurity was taking my toolbelt for no good reason, even though they weren't used in the commission of the said crime(wrong place at the wrong time). They got put in the warden's desk to be confiscated, and were going to take my insulateds. I thought "fuck that shit", and started grabbing the officer. They pull out a taser but couldn't fire it because I had already grabbed their neck and they dropped it. I strip them and start taking useful things for my breakout. Alas, the officer had screamed for help over sec channel. An audience of greyshirts looked on as I kept the officer in a chokehold, using them as a meatshield to protect myself from the taser of another officer. I tase them and started to frantically fumble for sunglasses, but I was too late and the cell got flashed. gg no re, but if I had prioritized the sunglasses, I would dunked all of them.

If you put a seclite in one hand and a hybrid taser in the other, you can attach the seclite to the hybrid taser.

If you put the hybrid taser with attached seclite on your armour or belt slot, it also functions like a pocketed flashlight/pda light/lantern.

Like holy shit my dick got rock hard when I figured this out you have no idea.

IT'S FINALLY DONE!

Equation for atmos techs who have a breach, with air pressure too low in the room, trying to figure out how much air you need to dump in it with a portable air pump or a canister to make the room habitable again SUPERQUICK. This ain't as hard as it looks like, just add these numbers and wabam:

b = how many tiles the room has
c = how much pressure the room currently has

(5b(91−c)) / 2 =
needed air pressure from a portable air pump (or a canister)[/size]

here's the same equation but easier on the eyes:
Image


My earlier post trying to figure this shit out for anyone interested in theory:
Spoiler:
I made a small equation to help me as an Atmos Tech. If I take a portable air pump or an air canister to a room and release it fully, it's possible to calculate the final pressure the room will equalize in.

I tested with:
10 tile room (10 x 2500 = 25 000 volume) was 0 kPa.
I emptied a portable air pump filled (volume 1000) with 1000 kPa air --> whole room finally equalized at 42 kPa air everywhere.

Equation to use:
(airpumpkPa * 1000) / (howmanytilesinroom * 2500) = how much the overall pressure will rise.

So what happened in my test:
(1000*1000) / (10*2500) = 40, close enough!

Did a second test with 6 tile room which equalized at 70 kPa, should be 66, no idea where the extra few kPa's come from but still, close enough for government work. So if you have a bar with a hole in it, seal the breach, count the tiles, check current pressure in bar, use the equation to see how much kPa you need in the airpump to have the bar within 91-111 kPa so it's liveable again.

Jesus ya fucks. I understood taking away the toolbelt and even the gloves. But the officer put the toolbelt in the cell locker but put the gloves inside the wardens desk. Neither were used "to facilitate" any crime, I was arrested for resisting a search, when the officer clearly yelled "random search". A bunch of greshirts told her she couldn't do that, but I got arrested anyway, searched, and brigged. The grab wasn't harmful, I just held them and moved them around the cell to block taser shots, and nearly broke out. What else could I have done? Ahelped? Pfffffft "hurr is IC I can no interfeer xDDD"
