=== How Do I Wire? ===
=== 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 [[Engineering_items#Crowbar|crowbar]] [[File:Crowbar.png]] to reach the plating. Then click the plating while holding cable coil in your hand to place the wire. To remove wires, use [[Engineering_items#Wirecutters|wirecutters]] [[File:Wirecutters.png]] on them. Powered wires will automatically electrify [[Guide_to_construction#Grille|grilles]] and power some [[Machines|machines]] on top of them.


Wires are directionally dependent on where you set them down, and will apply adjacently to each "tile" you are standing by.
====Wire Art====
Wires will always face inwards to you, sort of like this:
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|Guide to wire art]].  
 
[[File:Wire laying1.PNG|u see her lik dis]]
 
This image was made by standing in the center tile with a cable coil in hand and clicking on all 8 surrounding tiles.
 
In situations where you can't place a wire like this you have an alternative way. Just stand on a tile, face the direction you want it to go (ctrl+arrow key) and click the tile you're standing on.
 
[[File:Wire laying2.PNG|is so easy]]
 
This image was made by standing on the tile, pressing ctrl + left arrow key and then clicking the tile. The cable coil was in my active hand.
 
If you ever make a mistake with a wire, use the wirecutters to trim them! Simple as that. Wear insulated gloves if you value your life.
 
==== Knot Wiring ====
 
Let's say you have a situation that you need to fix:
 
[[File:Wiring situation.png|oh shit man how]]
 
The easiest method of wiring is knot-wiring. Also known as unsmooth or non-smooth wiring.
 
Fixing this is simple:
 
[[File:wire_1_1.PNG|yes]] → [[File:wire_1_2.PNG|yes yes]] → [[File:wire_1_3.PNG|wow]] Done.
 
You just position yourself properly and click the tile to lay down wire. Make sure you click on the plating (floor) and not the already laid wire. This is because:
 
[[File:wire_2_1.PNG|yes]] + [[File:wire_2_2.PNG|wait waht]] = [[File:wire_2_3.PNG|o god wow]]


This might look about the same as in the previous image, however it's not. In the previous image your ending result had three pieces of wire, one going from the east to the center, one going from the north to the center and one going from the west to the center. In this situation you have two pieces of wire. One going east to west and one going north to center. The two wires don't meet in the center, because the horizontal wire is going east-west without it having a point (or knot) in the center.
=== Connecting [[Machines|Machines]] ===


Knot wires (a.k.a nodes wires) also powers any machine on the same tile as them.
Most [[Machines|machines]] are connected to powernets wirelessly by being in an arbitrary "area" containing a charged [[APC]]. Though some [[Machines|machines]] must be connected by having a powered wire under them.


==== Smooth Wiring ====
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.


Just click on wires that are "knotted" at on end (you just need to click on the wire, not the little knotted dot).
Please note those [[Machines|machines]] must also be anchored (generally wrenched down) to be connected.
 
To fix this situation with smooth wire you'll have to follow the steps:
 
[[File:Wire_1_1.PNG|ok simple]] → [[File:Wire_3_2.PNG|so precision]] → [[File:Wire_3_3.PNG|such smooth]] → [[File:Wire_3_4.PNG|wow]] Done.
 
In this method you first lay one cable to go from one of the directions to the center (image 1). You then position yourself in another direction and click on the already laid wire piece (and not the floor!). This will make the already placed piece and the new piece combine into one smooth piece of wire (image 2). You then place another piece to go from the last remaining direction to the center (image 3) and click it from the last direction to make a 2nd smooth piece of wire (image 4).
 
This method often uses up more wire than dot-wiring, but it's prettier and usually preferred.
 
=== Connecting Wires ===
 
Two wires belongs to the same powernet if they have matching ends.

|-

=== Connecting Machines ===
 
Machines are connected to powernets exclusively by nodes cables (a.k.a knot wires):
 
 
[[File:Wire_1_1.PNG|it's alive!]] + [[File:generator.png]] = <font color='green'>Connected</font>
 
[[File:Wire_3_2.PNG|booh!]] + [[File:generator.png]] = <font color='red'>Not connected</font>
 
[[File:wire_2_1.PNG|booh!]] + [[File:generator.png]] = <font color='red'>Not connected</font>
 
Please note that machines must also be anchored (generally wrenched down) to be connected.


'''Special cases''' :
'''Special cases''' :
*APC must be connected ''through a terminal'' (meaning you connect the terminal to the powernet),
*[[#APC|APCs]] are connected to an adjacent powered wire with a special terminal, by doing the cable coil construction step.  
*SMES input powernet must be connected ''through a terminal'', while SMES output powernet must be connected through a classic node wire under the SMES.
*An exception to the cardinal function is [[Engineering_items#SMES_Cell|SMES]], which has an input an output wire next to each other without being connected.

If you want to do a job, like Station Engineer, you need to know how to build and deconstruct stuff.

Basic Tools[edit]

Before you can begin any construction or deconstruction you need to gather a few useful tools.

These tools can be found in any blue Mechanical Toolbox on the station. They can also be made in an Autolathe or dispensed from a YouTool -vending machine.

Reflector[edit]

{{#if:Reflector|}} This is an angular beam reflector. Any energy projectiles hitting it will be reflected at an angle depending on rotation. There are also "box" reflectors that change the direction of struck projectiles to face a single way, regardless of where they impact the reflector. The supermatter engine uses reflectors to make its emitters' beams go through a single path. Ballistic projectiles will not be reflected!

  • You can weld it to anchor it to or unanchor it from the floor, or to repair it.
  • Use a screwdriver to lock or unlock its rotation.

Lockers[edit]

{{#if:Locker|}} 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.

Power Wires[edit]

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?[edit]

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[edit]

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[edit]

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[edit]

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[edit]

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[edit]

Disposal Pipes[edit]

  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[edit]

  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[edit]

  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.
