Scientist is one of the most feared and fun jobs on station. Being a scientist means you can either do make a buttload of delicious weapons, tools and gadgets through research, or make delicious fun-packing bombs. As it is predictable with the station, most scientists are not satisfied with just blowing up their testing area and frequently go and spread their flavor of fun throughout the station. This is of course a really bad idea, often resulting in jobbans - but then again, delicious bombs.
The Laboratories
Research & Development
Houses the destructive analyzer. You put stuff in it, to numbers go up. The higher the numbers, the more stuff you can produce.
With the right research levels, you can construct almost any machine on the station. You can also research upgraded parts to improve existing machines. Remember to sync the database with the network, so the roboticists can benefit from your discoveries!
Your research efforts will cap at a certain point without minerals from mining. Coordinate with the Quartermaster or the Shaft Miners themselves to get the minerals you need.
Toxins Research
This lab focuses on exploring the possibilities of plasma gas, typically always in the form of massive explosions. Provided to you is the Toxins Test Chamber, where you will be testing your creations.
While bomb making is reasonably straightforward, it only takes one mistake for the entire room to become flooded with plasma or superheated carbon dioxide. Be patient and cautious.
Bombs have practical uses as mining charges, though they are mainly sought after by traitors wanting to take out valuable station equipment and cause havoc.
Xenobiology
The primary purpose of this lab is research on the breeding of slimes, the extracts of which have a variety of fun effects.
It also contains a pen capable of safely housing xenomorphs, in case the miners manage to locate a live facehugger. Obviously, breeding alien killing machines on the station can only end well.
Telescience
This lab specializes in the research of bluespace and teleportation. Provided is a telepad, a console and several GPS devices for you to engage in grand theft research!
Tips!
Unless you're a traitor, don't use the bombs on the main station. You'll get banned otherwise.- Fire extinguishers are super effective against slimes.
- Adult slimes
explodesplit into two baby slimes on death - Change the frequency of the remote signalling devices so that other scientists or saboteurs don't set off your explosives themselves.
- You can open your PDA, minimize the new window, and leave your PDA in your pocket so that you can set off your bombs as long as you don't need to change the frequency. Whenever it's time for an explosion you just open the window you minimized, click send signal, and it'll do it! Leave a bomb in your backpack for an easy suicide attack solution.
- If You see a REAL wizard, that PDA signal you set will be the only way. Suicide bomb him good.
- It's possible to make bombs that utterly destroy a small area, gib only those people next to you, explode when you die, bring general ruin to entire wings of the station, and more! Experimentation is the key to a scientist's work.
- You can blow up the singularity with a Bag of Holding. Seriously.
- FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, turn on the Slime shields in Xenobio. Slimes can't get through them and evolve and explode.
A Terrorist is you!
At any given moment, a scientist out there is a traitor. When half the station vanishes off the face of the map, well, you know who it was. It is recommended that you use your traitor points on things to conceal your identity, as people will want to murder and rape you to death after you set them up the bomb. Or, in the least, get a space suit for the huge void you just made. Research and development currently are useful for terrorism. Grab whatever you can first out of there like laser cannons and stun guns.
