Editing Grenade

Grenades are made of three things: Chemicals, trigger assemblies, and a crunchy candy coating (usually made of metal). When you arm them, the trigger sits there, waiting patiently for an excuse to go off, until finally the grenade primes, the chemicals mix, and whatever happens, happens.

==Construction==
#Obtain a Grenade Casing (regular can be made from using metal in hand), one to two bottles or beakers full of your [[Guide_to_chemistry|chemical payload]](see below for ideas), and a [[Engineering_items#Cable_Coil|cable coil]] [[File:CableCoils.png]].
#Attach the [[Engineering_items#Cable_Coil|cable coil]] [[File:CableCoils.png]] to the Grenade Casing.
#*After adding [[Engineering_items#Cable_Coil|cable coil]] [[File:CableCoils.png]], you can also add a [[#Triggers|trigger]] if you desire an optional way of triggering the grenade than just "activate+throw". 
#*#Use your [[#Triggers|trigger]] in hand to adjust settings as desired (some of them will open a window). Some of them can also be alt-clicked to toggle certain options. 
#*#Make sure the [[#Triggers|trigger]] is '''NOT''' in "can be attached" mode, or it won't work (toggleable with a [[Engineering_items#Screwdriver|screwdriver]] [[File:Screwdriver_tool.png]]). This is counter-intuitive. The "can be attached" mode is only used to attach triggers together, but that's no longer used in grenade making. 
#*#Use the [[#Triggers|trigger]] on the unsecured chemical grenade to open a [[Hacking|"hacking"]] window. Click "attach" with the [[#Triggers|trigger]] in hand to attach it. Then close the hacking window. 
#Insert the bottles or beakers with your desired [[Guide_to_chemistry|chemicals]] (will be mixed when grenade is triggered) into the unsecured chemical grenade.
#Use [[Engineering_items#Screwdriver|screwdriver]] [[File:Screwdriver_tool.png]] on the unsecured chemical grenade to finish the Grenade [[File:Grenade.png]].
#If you only used [[Engineering_items#Cable_Coil|cable coil]] [[File:CableCoils.png]] to craft the grenade, use a [[Engineering_items#Screwdriver|screwdriver]] [[File:Screwdriver_tool.png]] on the finished grenade [[File:Grenade.png]] to toggle its timer between 3 and 5 seconds. Or use a [[Engineering_items#Multitool|multitool]] [[File:Multitool.png]] to choose any timer value between 3 and 5 seconds <s>(or instant)</s><- bugged. This also works with some other [[#Triggers|triggers]]. 

A [[Wrench]] can be used to extract the payload from an unsecured chemical grenade. If the [[Wrench]] is used on an empty unsecured chemical grenade the [[Engineering_items#Cable_Coil|cable coil]] will be removed and leave it to be just a Grenade Casing.

For a list of possible chemical reactions, see the [[Guide to chemistry]]. Note that some reactions go off immediately when mixed, and must be separated into two bottles. Also note that slime cores are volatile, and when used in grenades, some reagents may be lost.

===Obtaining the Materials===
*Standard [[Grenade Casing]]s can be made by using a [[Metal Sheet]]
*[[Large Grenade Casing]]s are made by [[Guide to Research and Development|R&D]] after some research
*[[Research items#Pyro Grenade|Pyro Grenades]] and [[Research items#Advanced Release Grenade|Advanced Release Grenades]] are made by RnD as well
*[[Engineering_items#Cable_Coil|Cable coils]] [[File:CableCoils.png]] can be found in chemistry, [[Art Storage]], [[Engineering]], and many other places
*Most triggers can be found in [[Vendomat|Vendomat vending machines]]. 
*[[Autolathe]]s can produce Timers, Remote Signaling Devices, Health Sensors and Infrared Emitters
*[[Slime Core]]s can only be obtained through [[Xenobiology]]
*[[Bottle]]s and [[Beaker]]s can be found in [[Chemistry]]
*The chemicals necessary for the most interesting grenades can only be produced in [[Chemistry]]


===Large Grenade Casings===
When using a [[Research_items#Large_Grenade_Casing|Large Grenade Casing]] [[File:Large_Grenade_Casing.png]], researchable at R&D, instead of a standard casing [[File:Grenade_Casing.png]], you will be able to put these things in it:
#Create a slime core grenade by substituting one of the bottles/beakers with a [[Guide_to_xenobiology#Formulas|slime extract]]. Be sure you have another bottle with the necessary reagent in the same grenade, or the slime extract won't do anything!
#For the strongest grenades you will need to use [[Medical_items#Bluespace_Beaker|Bluespace Beakers]], which also only fit in [[Research_items#Large_Grenade_Casing|Large Grenade Casings]].

==Triggers==
The grenade can work differently depending on the trigger used in its construction. You must always start with [[Cable]]. After you have added [[Cable]], you can choose to also attach a trigger (see [[#Construction|construction]]):
*[[Cable]] only: Goes off after 5 seconds by default. Use screwdriver on the finished grenade to toggle between 3 and 5 seconds, or a [[Engineering_items#Multitool|multitool]] [[File:Multitool.png]] to choose any timer value between 3 and 5 seconds. 
*[[Timer]]: Goes off after a certain time has elapsed. You must set the timer before you attach it to the grenade (it's fine to keep it on "not timing"). Then using the finished grenade will make that timer start ticking instead of the normal 3 or 5 seconds. 
*[[Mousetrap]]: Goes off when its current container is opened. Activate mousetrap before attaching it to the grenade. Grenade primes like a normal grenade (3 or 5 seconds) if activated manually in hand when finished. 
*[[Proximity Sensor]]: <s>Goes off when something moves within a chosen range (there is an arming period). Set it up before attaching. It should be set to "Not arming" before attaching it. Detection range 1 = the same tile as the grenade. Then using the finished grenade in hand will start the activation timer, which gives you time to place it. </s> Bugged and doesn't work as of 5 Aug 2019. 
*[[Remote Signaling Device]]: Goes off when it receives the correct code via another [[Remote Signaling Device]]. Grenade primes like a normal grenade (3 or 5 seconds) if activated manually in hand. 
*[[Voice Analyzer]]: Goes off when the trigger phrase is said out loud, after a short delay (record phrase with voice analyzer beforehand). Grenade primes like a normal grenade (3 or 5 seconds) if activated manually in hand. 
*[[Health Sensor]]: Goes off when the person carrying it is in crit or dead (alt-click the health sensor to toggle crit/death). Grenade primes like a normal grenade (3 or 5 seconds) if activated manually in hand. 
*[[Infrared Emitter]]: <s>When activated, a laser beam (either invisible or red) will extend out in the direction the grenade is facing (it can be rotated by dragging it).</s> Can't be used in grenades.<br>

In the past you used to make custom trigger assemblies by attaching an igniter and trigger together, but this was changed in june 2019 to the above system.

==Use==
Use a grenade in hand to activate it in case of a [[Cable]] trigger (and others). When the grenade is activated, throw it by clicking on the target. Live grenades will be thrown regardless of "throw" mode being enabled or not. 

Other triggers than just [[Cable]] usually work as normal [[Cable]] grenades if using them in hand, but they can also be triggered as described in the [[#Triggers|triggers list]]. 

When the grenade goes off, the chemical beakers/bottles inside will mix their contents and heat them by 10 Kelvin (or 500 Kelvin if you use a [[Research_items#Pyro_Grenade|Pyro Grenade]]). If the mixture causes an effect ([[Guide_to_chemistry#Smoke|Smoke]], an explosion, etc), it will happen at this time; otherwise, the resultant chemicals will be [[Guide_to_chemistry#Smoke_vs_foam_vs_others|splashed]] on everything nearby. A grenade filled with [[Guide_to_chemistry#Space_Lube|Space Lube]], for instance, will coat every nearby floor surface with slippery goop. 

===Disarming===
If you use [[Wirecutters]] on a Grenade, you will unsecure it, but this doesn't work on activated grenades. A [[Wrench]] can then be used to remove the payload to prevent anyone from rearming it.
