Robots, Cyborgs and Mechs

Their construction is described at: Robots, Cyborgs and Mechs -pages.

Mineral Door

The actual doors of the game. Nobody ever uses these poor things and they aren't even airtight. Every ore material (and wood) can be made into a door. Other door types (which act otherwise similar, just made out of different material) are: sand, gold, silver, plasma, uranium and diamond. Keep in mind that Uranium doors put out a pulse of radiation every time they're opened.

Doors	Requires to build	How to build
	The mineral (or wood) of your choice x20	Stand where you would like the door. Use the metal and make a Door.
How to deconstruct
Tools	Wrench to unwrench it. Welder to disassemble the frame.

Conveyor Belt

The Conveyor Belts seen in Cargo, Disposals, and other places around the station can be set up similar to a floor tile, only they require a bit more setting up to become functional.

Conveyor Belt and Conveyor Belt Switch	Requires to build	How to build
	An Autolathe, with enough metal and glass.	Use the lever on the belt assemblies to link them. This must be done before placing them! Place the belt assemblies by using them on the floor (You can then rotate the belt tiles by using a Wrench). Place the lever somewhere by clicking the floor with it.
How to deconstruct
Tools	Crowbar to remove the Conveyor Belt tiles and Switches.

Furniture

Chairs

Chairs are for sitting down and making the place look nice. The only real use for chairs are to restrain people, building electric chairs or to buckle in when the shuttle is about to take off. Office chairs can also be used to move buckled people around.

Chair Stool Bar Stool Comfy Chair Office Chair Wooden Chair Winged Wooden Chair	Requires to build	How to build
	x1 or x2 or x5 or x3	Stand where you want the chair. Pick up some metal or planks. Click it in hand. Select Chair from menu.
How to deconstruct
Tools	Wrench a chair to transform it back into the starting material.

Tables/Reinforced Table

Tables are used to hold objects on. The most common ones are metal, glass and reinforced. You can climb onto tables, though it takes a short while. Tables can also be used for ghetto surgery.

Table Wooden Table Glass Table Poker Table Fancy Table Reinforced Table	Requires to build	How to build
	x2 or x2 x1 or x1 or x1 or x1 or x1	Pick up some rods (or wooden planks, if you want to make a poker table). Stand on the tile where you want the table. Activate them in your hand.

Lockers

Lockers are among the most common and arguably the most useful of containers on the station. Nearly anything can fit inside, barring other lockers, crates, and certain especially large objects like racks and MULEbots.

Besides being welded shut, some lockers can be, well, locked. Several levels of access exist, such as security-, captain-, and private-level access. These can be opened with the proper level identification card, emag item, or with enough damage. If you don't want to take out your id to open these every time, you can alt-click them to lock/unlock them.

If you yourself are inside a locker, you can see your surroundings. Normally you can move in any direction to exit the locker, but if the locker is locked or welded, you will be unable to exit and you cannot unweld or unlock your cell from inside - at that point if you try to move around you will instead throw yourself against the sides of the locker, making a BANG BANG sound that can be heard from several squares away. Using the Resist button will allow you to slowly open the locker.

Coffins count as lockers.

Different types of lockers:

Locker	Requires to build	How to build
	x2 or x5 for coffin	Stand where you want the locker. Activate metal in hand. Choose Locker from the list.
How to deconstruct
Tools	Open the locker. Weld the locker with a welder to disassemble it into metal.

Rack

Racks are flat and wide, incapable of being walked over, and bolted together. They can hold any number of items, but they hold them stacked on top of each other like a table. They are most common in maintenance tunnels and the EVA room.

Rack	Requires to build	How to build
	x1	Activate metal in hand. Choose Rack from the list. Stand where you want the rack. Activate Rack Parts in hand.
How to deconstruct
Tools	Be on any other intent than help. Use a wrench to dismantle it to some Rack Parts. Use a wrench on the Rack Parts to disassemble them into metal.

Beds

Get your mind out of the gutter, they're for sleeping! Most station's beds come with a bedsheet, and new beds without sheets can be made with metal. The Medbay's preferred variation of a bed is the movable and collapsible Roller Bed, which is extremely useful for sex transporting patients.

You use a bed by going on top of it and *sleep. To buckle someone, put them on the bed and drag their sprite on it, to release click on the bed.

Bed	Requires to build	How to build
	x2	Stand where you want the bed. Activate metal in hand. Choose Bed from the list.
How to deconstruct
Tools	Use a wrench to dismantle it to two sheets of metal.

Tools	Wrench to unsecure the rack. Screwdriver to disassemble it.

Power Wires

Power wires (cable coils) are available from autolathes, yellow toolboxes, engineering vending machines or scattered about the station's maintenance-, construction- and storage-areas.

• Wires can be electrified if connected to a power net (a charged SMES or APC is attached to the wire), and you will get fried if you place or cut them.
• Insulated gloves negate any electrical shocks to the player.

How Do I Wire?

After a change june 2019, wires will automatically connect to other wires on tiles in cardinal directions. To place, lift any floor tile with a crowbar to reach the plating. Then click the plating while holding cable coil in your hand to place the wire. To remove wires, use wirecutters on them. Powered wires will automatically electrify grilles and power some machines on top of them.

Wire Art

The wire art that was available before june 2019 can still be made by using an item called "pipe cleaner". See the Guide to wire art.

Connecting Machines

Most machines are connected to powernets wirelessly by being in an arbitrary "area" containing a charged APC. Though some machines must be connected by having a powered wire under them.

With wire knobs now being just what a wire looks like after it's cut, all grilles on top of a wire that has power are shock grilles.

Please note those machines must also be anchored (generally wrenched down) to be connected.

Special cases :

• APCs are connected to an adjacent powered wire with a special terminal, by doing the cable coil construction step.
• An exception to the cardinal function is SMES, which has an input an output wire next to each other without being connected.

Wire-net Reset

This is Byond's attempt to "reset" the whole power net in order to deal with new/removed wires that shift the power value of a whole system. It will cause APCs to stop charging for a moment, and in huge nets it can shut down the charging of all APCs for a while.

Don't mess with wires unless you have to, it causes problems to everyone in both OOC (potential lag) and IC (power loss).

Pipes

Pipes are only constructed from Pipe Dispensers in Atmospherics. To use a Pipe Dispenser, follow these steps:

1. Put Dispenser in a powered area.
2. Wrench Dispenser to lock it into place.
3. Click on the Pipe Dispenser with an empty hand and select the pipes you wish to use.
4. You have a pipe to play with now.
5. Wrench Dispenser to make it mobile once more.

Placing and Removing Pipes

Disposal Pipes

1. Rotate the pipe to the direction you wish the pipe to be in.
2. Wrench the pipe to the ground.
3. Use a lit welder to fuse the pipe to the ground.

Gas Pipes

1. Rotate the pipe to the direction you wish (pay attention to gas pumps as they are direction dependent).
2. Wrench into place.
3. Turn on the pipe, if necessary.

How to Remove a Pipe

1. Perform the step you used to set the pipe into place in reverse (make sure the pipe is powered off).
2. Brace for any junk that might blast out of the pipe.
