Space Station 13

A few other things to expand on the stuff that Dig said.

You can change what bodyparts you target by the upper-right corner's human body icon. Click on some bodypart and it'll turn red, this is now where you're aiming your attacks. Head hits can knock people out fast, while I noticed that if you hit on the chest(at least with a tool, like a crowbar) you can stun them. Can't remember if head hits stun, but you can knock them out anyway.

Also, there's an icon that lets you change your interactions from Help to Grab and Harm and I think there was some other option too. It's on the lower right corner, can't remember which icon from the right to left it was again but it says something anyway, I think it starts at Help. You need this to be at Harm in order to attack, but if you're trying to help someone, for gods sake make sure it's not at Harm before you click on 'em unless you like bashing people's heads in.

About the PDA's: If you want, you can input your ID card into it. This is helpful in the way that you now have your ID card within the PDA, BUT. As it's not within your "active" item slot anymore, you need to be holding the PDA on your hand and select that hand active in order to open doors. Otherwise, they'll flash red and deny access. I'm not sure if adding your ID card into the PDA(not sure if you can remove it either) is that useful, but it might help you keep track of it better. Although in case you get knocked out and/or killed, the enemy might not figure out that you're keeping the ID card in your PDA.


About food: There are a lot of food dispenders around the base, but they require power, so in case the station has a power shortage these won't work and you can't get food from 'em. Or maybe you can destroy a dispenser with enough attacks, I didn't really try that for a while.


Botanists can grow food in their department, just plant some seeds in the tanks and they'll grow eventually. After that, I suggest you grab one of the plants produced and take it over to the third machine from the left(it's in the bigger room of the botanist area, hard to miss, next to it are plant fertilization etc. dispenser and seed dispenser) and stuff it in, this produces like 2 seeds from one plant. The seed dispenser we have has a limited supply of seeds, so yeah.

Botanists also can resurrect dead people by using revive-pods or whatever they're called again. This is how they work:

First grab one of the revive-pod seed packets, then a syringe. For this to work the dead person's body HAS to be around. Use the syringe on the body and you'll get a bloodsample out of them.

Next, click on the seed packet, it'll inject the blood into the seeds, now you go and plant them in a vat.

Like with all plants, make sure that the vat has enough water and nutrients, you can get water from the watertanks at the lower corners of the room, grab a bucket and click on them and you'll get some water. A bucket has a limit of 70 units of water and each vat holds up to 100 units.

The vats have lights that start flashing in case something is wrong, I recall one is for water shortage, another for nutrient's being low and third for weeds growing in the vats. The first two are easy to solve, just add water or nutrients(you get them from the middle dispenser on the room) but I'm not sure yet how you remove weeds. The small room you can access at the top of the section has some tools, so MAYBE the mini-hoe there can be used to get rid of weeds, check the Wiki yourself for that.

Anyway, plants will eventually grow and be ready to be harvested, but you should do that soon after they've matured since they will die otherwise. Dead people when resurrected need to be "harvested" as well, the pod will have grown into a huge ball with a light inside, after it's opened the dead person will have been reborn as a plant person.


Medical staff can also resurrect people by cloning them, not sure how that works though. Maybe you can just bring their body to one of the machines or then they need a bloodsample as well. It's also up to you to treat injured people, there's a bunch of tools like medkits and medicine at your department, just check what you need for what injury(there are different pills and medicine for stuff like normal injuries, burn wounds and so on).


If you're the Chef, it's up to you(along the Botanist) to make sure that people have food to eat. Sure, there's the food dispensers, but hey, real food, you know? Do know that food supplies are limited though and if push comes to shove, you got to get creative.

Luckily there's a meat processor that isn't too picky what you stuff down there! In case you have a dead body at hand(you're the traitor, killed your target and need to get rid of the body) you can stuff them down there! For easier targets though there are always monkies. The bar has one, usually a bartender's pet but it's not that hard to just drag it to your kitchen and process it. If you really need the meat though, just go bug the Chemist department for some monkies, I'm sure they have a few still alive.


If you end up a Chemist, I suggest you check the Wiki for what you can create by the materials you can get from the dispensers over at Chemistry. Once you have learned how to use items and interact with 'em, mixing materials for HILARITY is pretty easy. Just watch out for nitroglycerin, I recall that it has a tendency to immediately explode.

In case you're reading up on your stuff and want to test your SCIENCE, there are a lot of monkies in the Chemist department, inject them with your materials to observe the effect in case you want to make sure whatever you're planning works as intended(nothing worse than whipping up a cocktail of DEATH and having it fail to do what intended, usually kill the target you inject).

As a note to you and everyone else, you'll either need a syringe gun to shoot your needles and inject people or just stab 'em with your syringe. This isn't that easy though, because you need time to inject, so if the target is still conscious they can push you away and break off your attempt to inject. So knock them out first!


In case you end up as a Traitor, this gives you access to some funky stuff. Here's how to get them:

At the start of the round, you'll get a mention that YOU are a traitor. The game also tells you keywords that you can use to identify other traitors(if there are any), so pay attention to what people say, you also get confirmation words that you have to use to identify other traitors. In case this works and you find other traitors, I suggest you start working together and making a plan to accomplish both your missions. Sometimes you might get an objective that the person you need to kill is a fellow traitor, it's up to you how you deal with that objective(hint hint).

To get your funky Syndicate gear you need to use your PDA, pick it up in one hand and click on it. Next click on Messenger and from there, Select Ringtone. At the start of the round you're given a code that you need to input there.

It'll then show you a list of tools you can "buy", ranging from weapons to tools and explosives. Find out yourself how these work, but be careful with the plastic explosives. You don't want them to explode in your backpack like mine did, destroying all my stuff.


For janitors: You can clean up floors with your mop and the yellow thing you can pull with you(right click on an item, select Pull, now you'll be pulling it where-ever you go, walk against it and it'll be pushed back, breaking your Pull). You need water on the yellow thing though, so again, use a bucket to get water from watertanks and put it in the yellow thing. When you get to a tile you want to start cleaning at, click on the yellow thing with your mop and it'll be soaked with water. Next, click a tile to start cleaning.

WARNING/hint: Tiles that you've cleaned will end up wet for a while. People who are running can slip and fall over on these, possibly harming them, worst case scenario, they die. You can use these to your advantage in some situation, but if you're just doing your job with no harm intented, you should warn others about the slippery floors. I think there's supposed to be signs you can set up that warn about slippery floors but whatever.


Engineers: READ THE WIKI FOR HOW TO DO YOUR JOB. Your job is pretty much vital to the station, ensuring that power gets to the station and in case the Singularity Engine is online, to make sure that the field keeping the singularity in check doesn't fail. In case it does fail, the damn singularity is let loose and at that point it's pretty much game over. Call the evac shuttle because that thing will tear the station apart, and anyone caught in it will pretty much immediately die(well DUH).

When dealing with power cords or panels with electricity or anything like that, make sure that you have insulated gloves in case you have to cut some wires and so on. Electrocution isn't nice.

Also, here's a tip to people who for some reason or another end up killing others and have to dispose of the body: One way is to toss them out the airlock(but this has the danger of you ending up spaced along them(like what happened to me, DAMN YOU ZANE)), another is to use a trash disposal unit to rid of 'em. There are other ways too but find those out yourself, anyway.

To trash disposal units, first you need to be Pulling your target. In case you were the one who killed them do note that dragging the corpse might leave blood stains. If you're going to get rid of the body, do it fast and in as short of a route as you can. If you have access to a mop though you probably can just clean up the trail, but this may not be an option. Anyway, let's say you've dragged the corpse to a trash disposal unit.

Still Pulling, you need to change your action icon to Grab and click on the body, it'll at some point tell how you got a hold of their neck. Now click on the trash disposer, if all goes well, the corpse is stuffed down there.

Click on the unit again and select Engage. This will space whatever was inside(at least with the unit I used) and there, one body less to track back to you!
