Guide to Hacking

Hacking is really easy once you get the basics

 

What you will need:

Insulated gloves (budget work but they have a high chance that you will still get shocked)

Screwdriver

Multitool

Wire Cutters

Crowbar

 

Doors

There are many different wires, if you are just looking to get the door open the only wires you will need to find is the test light wire, bolts light and the power light if you want to just cut the power to the door and crowbar it open.

 

The best way to find wires is to screwdriver open the doors panel and use the multitool and pulse each wire taking note of what each does, it is best to use the 'note' tab to note down what each wire does.

 

Now to be able to crowbar a door open you must get the test light to say 'off'. If the bolts and down you will need to find the bolts light to raise them. Sometimes pulsing wont work for whatever reason and the solution is to cut the wire and mend it and pulse again, if the test light is off usually you cannot raise or lower bolts until it is back on.

 

Other wires such as the ai control wire are usually useless unless the ai is malf and you need to stop it using doors etc.

 

Pulsing the power wire will disable power to the door for one minute before backup kicks in, cutting disables for 10 minutes until backup kicks in unless of course you cut the backup wire as well. While a door has no power it can be forced open with a crowbar. In the event of a blackout a crowbar is almost always needed to get around.

 

Vending Machines

There is really only one reason to hack vending machines and that is to get the 'illegal goods'. To do this you will need to pulse each wire until it brings up more things to buy, pretty simple. If you had to pulse other wires that didnt get you the illegal goods then its best to cut every other wire and repair them so the vending machine doesnt break and launch things at you etc.

 

Machines

This to is to get illegal items. Pulsing will only allow them for a few moments so you will need to cut this wire. The wire you will need to cut will be the blue light wire. This is generally only usefull on autolathes.

If you mean the chemical dispenser things, using a multi-tool on them will enable plasma...
