Bottom post of the previous page:

You can use a fireaxe to force open doors much like a crowbar when it is welded in two hands. Granted if a door is not powered or firedoor.

Using the heat exchange(H/E) pipes from the dispenser in space will super cool gases. Useful for the waste in network of Atmospherics or other devious purposes you have in mind.

Edit: Finished a sentence that was meant to be finished.

fireaxes are fun, break windows and grilles with 1 hit

this is going to sound stupid but back in the day i would grab the fireaxe literally as soon as the round started, run to EVA as fast as possible, and smash in there through the windows

now the thing that always amazed me, was I never got shocked if I did it as soon as the round started, i always figured it was space magic

If Ian (or any other corgi) is revived via Lazarus Injector, upon seeing another corgi it looks in the code like he would run up and nuzzle the shit out of it.

(Lazarus injectors set the spawned mob to attack others of the same type, and the corgi attack is overridden by nuzzling)

part of new mining changes, basicly revives the mob you zap with it, and has it fight things of the same type as it.

meant to be used on mining mobs to have them fight eachother

ExplosiveCrate · Wed Apr 23, 2014 6:01 am

And if it's EMPd it attacks everything except you.

Get a goliath to follow you for !fun!, security can't even kill it because of the goliath's snowflake laser protection.

I played the game for three years before learning about shift clicking. That was pretty important.

You can intellicard an AI and load it unto a hacked mule in a crate and the AI can use the mule to drive around. Do this and have a fun AI pal to hang out with around cargo. No one will care because it's in the box.

Pretty sure it was nerfed so that it only made the mob neutral after miners kept on dragging goliaths to space to fuck up nuke ops because of their magical space tentacles.

Clusterbangs are great. Save it for an emergency or the getaway of a lifetime. Run like a bitch when you throw it because the AoE is massive.

Yeah, honestly? Give engineers re-skinned yellow and orange soft-suits. Give Miners Purple/Tan softsuits; Wait no, new mining is full of baddies, let them keep their hardsuits. Give the Chief Engineer his standard hardsuit. Give Security hardsuits and the captain's space helmet the full suite of ear/eye/space/bio protection. The rest can fuck off with their protection from all.

Yeah, I know it's lore/realism friendly that your spacesuit helmet blocks most of the noise and most of the light, and withstands micrometeors and spacedust but c'mon man. It really tickles my autism when I see people wearing just a hardsuit helmet, or just a biosuit helmet. There's a special place in hell for people that take the helmet and fuck off, and it's lower than people who take the suit and fuck off.

stealing spacesuit helmets is ok though because spacesuits are ugly

The CE's RIG, Atmos Hardsuit and (Gemsuits) Firesuits can survive your average AI induced plasma flames.

The Atmos Hardsuit however suffers from the drawback of little to no radioactive protection, so don't stick near the Singularity.

Yeah - As Captain, I once dealt with widespread plasma fires by sending an announcement - FIRESUITS ON. INTERNALS ON. NOW!

Firesuits protect against fire. Fire extinguishers put out fire. I was surprised when I discovered this - Also surprised that I was surprised.

Just make eye-protection toggleable welder helmet-style. It will limit vision when turned on, of course.

You can destroy canisters by attacking them. Usually I'll use a welder, which also lights the plasma on fire after it escapes. Very useful for traitoring. It's stupidly easy to escape alone just by releasing some plasma at escape a few minutes before the shuttle arrives.

Also fire will destroy canisters the same way, so a fire in Toxins storage is REALLY bad.

Keep in mind that it doesn't destroy then release the plasma. It'll actually explode like a small bomb. So if you're trying to make an inferno, let the can empty THEN light it, so you don't put your own fire out with vacuum.

You can hack the Cargo console by breaking it down to get the circuit board, then using a multitool to change the frequency to "broad". Lets you order contraband crates, which include posters, lipstick and other bullshit.

it's not that no one knows, a few people shout over the radio to rebuild them each time. It's just a curious mix of incompetency or lack of care from science, or engineering for that matter, a bit of unspoken acknowledgement that antags have ruined the round and want to end it so let's just go along with it, and a bit of fuck this I'm not fixing every broken thing from engineering if the shuttle is coming.
