Clothing is what keeps you warm in the winter, let alone the dead of space. Below are the objects which you can wear.

Short guide to clothes[edit | edit source]

Inventory[edit | edit source]

Your character has following slots that are always available:

  • Jumpsuit
  • External suit
  • Back
  • Mask
  • Shoes
  • Gloves
  • Ears
  • Glasses
  • Hat
  • Neck

Jumpsuit unlocks for you:

  • Belt
  • Pockets
  • ID slot

And external suit unlocks for you an external suit storage.

Contents of your pockets are not visible for others, but if someone tries to empty them you do not get a message unless you move. Pockets can hold tiny and small items. They can also hold mining satchel, despite it being a normal-sized item.

If you have a storage item in one of your slots, you can click on it to open it. If you want to take it to your hand, drag it to the hand slot with your mouse. You can also drag an item to your character on the map to open it. This will work with a pill bottle in your pocket, for example, or if you have something in your hands.

Damage protection[edit | edit source]

There are several types of damage in the game. Various pieces of clothing offer protection for the body parts they cover.

  • Melee
  • Bullet
  • Laser
  • Energy
  • Bomb
  • Biological
  • Radiation
  • Fire
  • Acid

Temperature protection[edit | edit source]

Some pieces of clothing offer protection from high/low temperatures. High-temperature protection is needed when everything is on fire. Low-temperature protection is needed when you are in space or very close to being in space. Items only protect body parts they cover.

Jumpsuits[edit | edit source]

Having a jumpsuit is extremely important. Without a jumpsuit you will not have an ID slot, a belt slot, or any pocket slots. The jumpsuit is also useful in identifying your department at a glance, and so can be used as part of a disguise. In addition, jumpsuits now have a full suite of sensors that can be toggled and adjusted by right-clicking on it. They can give out data to the bridge including your location, your health, and your mortality. Some jumpsuits made to be practical will offer minor protection, which will be noted in it's description. For example, the virologist's jumpsuit has minor projection to biohazards, while the Head of Security's will have a small amount of protection from blunt trauma. Plasmaman jumpsuits prevent plasmamen from being on fire when worn with a plasmaman helmet.

A bit different from the others is the prisoner's jumpsuit. In addition to its distinctive colour, its suit sensors are always on maximum.

You can wash a jumpsuit in a washing machine with a crayon to paint it.

Description
Jumpsuits are the clothing standard on the station. Everyone starts off with one, which describes which job they do. Additional ones are usually found in the changing room, in the dormitory, in job-specific wardrobes and in the lockers for heads of staff.

Backwear[edit | edit source]

Different kinds of things which go on your back. Most people will wear a backpack, satchel or dufflebag at all times.


Backpack
Backpack
Found in: Dorms lockers, normal crew members may spawn wearing one
Used for: Storing unneeded crap
Strategy: You're going to want this. It's used for storing stuff, but, keep in mind that a backpack cannot store everything, such as toolboxes and other backpacks. But can generally store everything else. You also have a limited storage space.
Description
You wear this on your back and put items into it.
Most jobs have their own variety of backpack: Medpack.png Medical Backpack, Secpack.png Security Backpack and Clownpack.png Giggles von Honkerton, to name a few.

Satchel
Satchel
Found in: Dorms lockers, normal crew members may spawn wearing one
Used for: Storing unneeded crap
Strategy: Functionally identical to the backpack, but it looks more fashionable.
Description
You put this on your back slot and put items into it. Most jobs have their own variety of satchel. The Satchel.png Leather Satchel works the same as any satchel or backpack.

Dufflebag
Dufflebag
Found in: Dorms lockers, normal crew members may spawn wearing one
Used for: Storing more unneeded crap
Strategy: Functionally similar to the backpack, but can hold more things at the expense of slowing you down.
Description
You put this on your back and put items into it. Most jobs have their own variety of dufflebag.

Jetpack
Jetpack
Found in: EVA
Used for: Propelling yourself in space
Strategy: Put it on your back and switch it on to maneuver in space or low-gravity areas.
Description
The jet pack is a backpack slot item filled with either Carbon Dioxide or Oxygen. Since it has no air intake and carries its own fuel, it is actually a rocket pack, but the game can't seem to tell the difference so here we are. This item allows one to maneuver in a frictionless environment by firing either an expendable gas or a precious air supply out the back. Two black jetpacks filled with CO2 spawn in EVA. Syndicate operatives start with compact Oxygen-filled harnesses. The Captain has a unique oxygen-filled jetpack.

For proper use of a jetpack, remember these simple rules:

  • Jetpack-black.gif Black jetpacks are filled with carbon dioxide by default. Using these jetpacks as internals will knock you unconscious and suffocate you. Can be refilled with anything.
  • Refill JetPack.gif blue jetpacks with oxygen, not air (if you wish to use it for your internals, otherwise fill with any gas).
  • Always set it to 16-25 pressure if you aren't using the emergency mask from your starting box. If you still have that, hurry up and find something else!
  • Always toggle it on when you want to move or need to move quickly, but toggle stabilization off if you're just drifting so as to not waste your supply and remain untrackable.

Most jetpacks are too bulky to be stowed in a backpack.

Hardsuits can be upgraded to have an integrated jetpack, which works with a gas tank in the suit storage slot. Advanced hardsuits start off with one of these installed.

Void Jet Packs may also be found in [REDACTED], which are filled with oxygen.

Earpieces[edit | edit source]

These little devices are issued to every crew member upon arrival on the station. Every job, no matter how insignificant, gets some form of headset. In order to talk to the station with it simply type say ;(your text here).

Different branches of the station get a unique headset with its own private channel. In order to use this channel type in say .h (your text here). And your message will be broadcast to others with the same type of headset. Note that this does not work on the basic model. You can tell the basic model by its black coloring and lack of label.

All headsets are equipped with a standard encryption key used for the common channel. Screwdrivers can be used to remove the encryption keys and use them in a different headset. All department headsets come with two keys. Use your headset in hand to manually enable or disable keys, or change your default channel.

Here is a list of channels and how to access them. Examining your headset also shows you all possible channels. # and . can be used instead of :

.c = Command
.s = Security
.e = Engineering
.u = Supply
.m = Medical
.n = Science
.v = Service
.q = Air Traffic Control
.w = Munitions

Using .h will connect you with your default department's channel.

Other uses:

.b = Binary (For AI and cyborgs)
.a = Alien
.g = Changeling
.i = Intercom
.h = AI Holopad (For AI)
.o = AI Private (For AI)
.l = Left Hand
.r = Right Hand
.t = Syndicate/Traitor (For when you have a Syndicate encryption key)
