 Now it's time to set up the [[Particle Accelerator]] itself. First, wrench each piece in place. Second, wire all the pieces with a cable coil. Finally, use a screwdriver to close all the panels. Click on the console and hit "Scan for parts" to link the console with the actual PA. This is your Particle Accelerator set up!

-[[Plasma Tank]]s may be found in the [[Tank Storage Unit]] in the [[Power Storage Room]] or in [[Atmospherics|Atmospherics' Office]]. Place one [[Plasma Tank]] in each collector array and then TURN THE ARRAYS ON BY CLICKING ON THEM with an empty hand. Do this for all six collectors, and you should be ready to continue. If you wish, you can top off the plasma tanks. This doesn't increase power generation, but lets rad collectors run longer.

Note that the usual amount of plasma that starts in a plasma tank is more than enough for multi-hour shifts.
 You may also lock each [[Radiation Collector]] with your ID so that the AI cannot deactivate them remotely (which you won't notice with the radiation shutters down).

This can either decrease the singularity size by a stage or two... or increase it by one or two stages. Your call. The clown will probably find their way into it without you doing anything anyways.

 The Tesla is very low maintenance. All you really have to do is to check that the emitters are still powering the shield generators. Even a greyshit fiddling with the PA controls won't endanger the containment of the Tesla.
-The Singularity however should be checked on every 15 or so minutes - make sure that it still has the right size and that containment is fine.

 It's really not that hard to set up both engines properly unless you've had a bad run in with [[clown|retardation]]. This guide will assume that you're doing it alone, whether because you're the only engineer that signed up, or because everyone else buggered off like they always do.
