 ==== Airlock Strategies ====
-* '''Use [[Engineering_items#Multitool|multitool]] [[File:Multitool.png]] to bolt doors open'''. First find two wires of importance: The bolts wire, and one of the main power wires. Pulse a random door to find those wires. If you get shocked, close that hacking window and move on to another door. Once you've found the two wires you need, head to an unbolted door, pulse the power wire, [[Engineering_items#Crowbar|crowbar]] [[File:Crowbar.png]] it open, then pulse the bolt wire. This will permanently bolt the door open, until someone fixes it. If a door is bolted, pulse the bolts wire, and go and then a power wire to be able to [[Engineering_items#Crowbar|crowbar]] [[File:Crowbar.png]] it.

-* '''Use [[Engineering_items#Multitool|multitool]] [[File:Multitool.png]] to make the door stay open for a minute. Do this by first finding and pulsing a main power wire, then wait 10 seconds to see if auxiliary power turns on. If it doesn't go to another door and pulse the main power wire there. When auxiliary power is on (test light on), pulse wires until it turns off again. You have now found an auxiliary power wire. Then go to the door you wish to hack, pulse both the main and auxiliary power wire, then [[Engineering_items#Crowbar|crowbar]] [[File:Crowbar.png]], and it will stay open at at least nearly a minute.

 * '''Ghetto hacking''' involves accessing a useless airlock and cutting all of the wires in order until the bolts drop, making a note of the wire you just cut. Keeping this in mind, you can now open restricted doors by cutting all the wires except the bolt control and then crowbarring that fucker open. Useful if you don't have a multi-tool. Note that this is a bad idea if you lack gloves.
 * '''Open ID restricted doors''' by pulsing a main power wire and then crowbarring it open. If it's bolted, be sure to pulse the bolt wire before you kill the power, since you can't bolt/unbolt an unpowered door.
