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

Walls
Normal Wall
{{#if:Wall|}}
This is the standard type of wall found around the station, they are easy to construct and remove but are not as strong as reinforced walls. They also come in a hidden door variety. Walls can also be made out of different minerals, uranium being special with emitting strong radiation around it. They're useful for:
- Keeping people out.
- Keeping people in.
- Keeping people from going places.
Reinforced Wall
{{#if:Rwall|}}{{#if:Reinforced Wall|}}
This is the reinforced type of wall found in secure areas of station, they are reasonably simple to construct, but are very time consuming to remove. They also can be made as a hidden door. They're useful for:
- Keeping people in and out of high security areas.
Normal/Reinforced Hidden Door
{{#if:Hidden Door|}}{{#if:Hidden Wall|}}{{#if:Reinforced Hidden Door|}}{{#if:Reinforced Hidden Wall|}}
Also known as "Fake Walls" or "Hidden Walls". With a little imagination, hidden doors can be used in many marvelous tactics, varying from ambushes to passages into your very own secret hideaway room.
- Click to open.
- An almost undetectable escape route.
- Otherwise, same as a regular wall.
Normal/Reinforced Windows
{{#if:Windows|}}{{#if:Window|}}{{#if:Reinforced Windows|}}{{#if:Reinforced Window|}}
Windows are aesthetically quite pleasing because they are almost invisible. You can build two types of windows:
{{#if:Full|}}
- Full: A see-through wall. Usually only used if you don't have enough for 2-4 one-directionals or the metal for a wall.
{{#if:One directional|}}
- One Direction: Stops movement only from the way it faces.
Wall Mountings
Info about Area Power Controllers can be found here.
If broken, you will have to deconstruct then construct the APC. An entire set of fresh parts will be needed.
Info about Air Alarms can be found here.

Light Fixture
{{#if:Light Fixtures|}}
Provides light for the people. Bulb fixture is much dimmer than the tube-one.
Other
Grille
{{#if:Grilles|}}
Grilles are usually used in combination with directional windows. They allow gases and energy rounds to pass through them, but stop other objects. They can also be electrified for high security areas by building them on top of a live power wire.
- Keeping people in or out.
- Securing an area with electrified grilles.
Barricade
{{#if:Wooden Barricade|}}
The poor man's barrier, not nearly as strong or cool looking. Useful for:
- Keeping people in or out, for a short while.

Windoor (Window-door)
{{#if:Window-door|}}{{#if:Windoor|}}
Like a door, but with access controls. Windoors can't be hacked or even pried open with jaws of life. Emagging works.
Button
{{#if:Button|}}
This is a button - it can remotely control an airlock. You can also put a signaler in one to have it pulse the signaler when pressed.
Firelock
{{#if:Firelock|}}
This is a firelock - it locks an area when a fire alarm in the area is triggered. Don't get squished!
Reflector
{{#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.
- Alt-click it to rotate its angle.
Airlock
{{#if:Airlock|}}
This is an airlock - it locks air. Everyone just calls them doors, although they are not actual doors. If you want to hack an airlock, see here.
Turret
{{#if:Turrets|}}
To ensure no one trespasses an area. Its options are (first option is the default setting):
- Status: On/Off - wether the turret's power is on or off.
- Behaviour control are locked/unlocked - can be unlocked with a Security level ID.
- Check for Weapon Authorization: No/Yes - neutralizes people who have a weapon out but are not Heads or Security staff.
- Check Security Records: Yes/No - searches Security Records for criminals.
- Neutralize Identified Criminals: Yes/No - neutralizes crew members set to Arrest on the Security Records.
- Neutralize All Non-Security and Non-Command Personnel: No/Yes - self explanatory.
- Neutralize All Unidentified Life Signs: Yes/No - neutralizes aliens.
AI Core
The AI's house.
{{#if:Solar Panel|}}{{#if:Solar Panels|}}{{#if:Solar Tracker|}}

Their construction is described at: Robots, Cyborgs and Mechs -pages.
Mineral Door
{{#if:Door|}}{{#if:Doors|}}{{#if: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.
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

Furniture
Chairs
{{#if:Chair|}}{{#if:Stool|}}{{#if:Bar Stool|}}{{#if:Comfy Chair|}}{{#if:Office Chair|}}{{#if:Winged Wooden Chair|}}{{#if:Swivel Chair|}}
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.
Tables/Reinforced Table
{{#if:Table|}}{{#if:Tables|}}{{#if:Reinforced Table|}}{{#if:Wooden Table|}} {{#if:Poker Table|}} {{#if:Fancy 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.
Lockers
{{#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.
Different types of lockers: 
Rack
{{#if:Racks|}}
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.

Beds
{{#if:Bed|}}
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.

Drying Rack
Dries herbs for smoking, meat into jerky and grapes into raisins.
Power Wires
Power wires are only available from yellow toolboxes, engineering vending machines or scattered about the station's maintenance-, construction- and storage-areas.
- All wires are electrified if connected to a power net (a charged SMES battery is attached to the wire), and you will get fried if you touch them.
- Insulated gloves negate any electrical shocks to the player.
How Do I Wire?
Wires are directionally dependent on where you set them down, and will apply adjacently to each "tile" you are standing by.
Wires will always face inwards to you, sort of like this:
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.
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:
The easiest method of wiring is knot-wiring. Also known as unsmooth or non-smooth wiring.
Fixing this is simple:
→ 
→ 
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:
+ 
= 
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.
Knot wires (a.k.a nodes wires) also powers any machine on the same tile as them.
Smooth Wiring
Just click on wires that are "knotted" at on end (you just need to click on the wire, not the little knotted dot).
To fix this situation with smooth wire you'll have to follow the steps:
→ 
→ 
→ 
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.
| Connected cables
|
|
Not connected cables

Connecting Machines
Machines are connected to powernets exclusively by nodes cables (a.k.a knot wires):
+ 
= Connected
+ = Not connected
+ = Not connected
Please note that machines must also be anchored (generally wrenched down) to be connected.
Special cases :
- APC must be connected through a terminal (meaning you connect the terminal to the powernet),
- SMES input powernet must be connected through a terminal, while SMES output powernet must be connected through a classic node wire under the SMES.
Easiest method: just look at the animation until you get it:
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:
- Put Dispenser in a powered area.
- Wrench Dispenser to lock it into place.
- Click on the Pipe Dispenser with an empty hand and select the pipes you wish to use.
- You have a pipe to play with now.
- Wrench Dispenser to make it mobile once more.
Placing and Removing Pipes
Disposal Pipes
- Rotate the pipe to the direction you wish the pipe to be in.
- Wrench the pipe to the ground.
- Use a lit welder to fuse the pipe to the ground.
Gas Pipes
- Rotate the pipe to the direction you wish (pay attention to gas pumps as they are direction dependent).
- Wrench into place.
- Turn on the pipe, if necessary.
How to Remove a Pipe
- Perform the step you used to set the pipe into place in reverse (make sure the pipe is powered off).
- Brace for any junk that might blast out of the pipe.
