For the aspiring Roboticist, this guide will explain the creation and maintenance of Cyborg, Bots, and Mechs.

Cyborgs

See also Cyborgification Contracts. These contracts are important - without a signed, stamped contract, making a man into a machine is technically murder - no matter how much he wants it!

The Cyborg is the Roboticist's primary creation and upkeep. They are tasked with helping the station's inhabitants in their daily life and trying to kill everyone when the AI is insane. Each cyborg is required to follow the AI's laws, and may choose one of the AIs in the event that more than one exists.

Making a Cyborg

  1. Fill the Exofab.png Exosuit Fabricator with as much Metal.png metal as it will hold.
  2. Click on the Exosuit Fabricator to open its menu. Select Add all parts to queue beside the Cyborg option, and then click Process Queue in the right sidebar.
  3. Wait for a few minutes for the pieces to be built. You will likely need to add additional metal to the Fabricator in order for it to finish. Press Try Again once you have loaded in more metal.
  4. When putting the parts together, use the Cyborg endoskeleton.png Cyborg Endoskeleton as a base.
    • The Cyborg Head will need 2x Flash.png Synthetic Flash or Flash inside it before you mount it. Don't waste the green Flashes on this.
    • The Cyborg Torso will need 1x CableCoils.png wires and 1x Powercell.png power cell. Now it can be mounted to the exoskeleton.
    • The arms and legs can be mounted easily by simply picking them up and placing them on the Cyborg Endoskeleton.

Extract a brain for the Cyborg

Note: Check with the Chief Medical Officer before agreeing to perform a brain extraction on a living human. Medbay has anesthetics, which are optimal when someone is cutting into your skull with a circular saw. Additionally, it will clear up bookkeeping problems regarding the addition of a new cadaver in the morgue.

  1. Grab.png Grab the human.
  2. Click on the OpTable.gif operating table with your grabbed human, causing them to lie down on it.
  3. Click+drag their body on to yours, which will open their inventory window.
  4. Remove any head, eyes, or mask gear they are wearing by clicking on the item's link.
  5. Click on the Damage zone.png Damage Zone in the top-right corner of your your HUD to indicate that you want to target the head.
  6. Use the Scalpel.png scalpel to select the "Organ Manipulation" Surgery.
  7. Use the Scalpel.png scalpel again to begin the incision
  8. Use the Hemostat.png hemostat to stop any potential bleeding.
  9. Use the Retractor.png retractors to lift up the skin.
  10. Use the Saw.png saw to open the the skull.
  11. Use the Retractor.png retractor to pull their skull open.
  12. Use the Hemostat.png hemostat to remove the File:Brain.png brain.
  13. Pop the File:Brain.png brain into the MMI.

And now you have a filled MMI, ready to put into your cyborg.

So You Decapitated Your Patient

Or you were handed a head that was missing a body. Awesome, now you only have to do half the steps from above. Use the scalpel on the head to cut back the skin, then use the retractor to crack it open like an egg! Last you use the hemostat to pick the brain out and stick it in an MMI.

Cyborg Maintenance

You'll often have Cyborgs run up to you with any number of problems. Here's how to deal with them most of the time.

Repair

When Cyborgs get dented, they'll come to you for repairs. Luckily, most repairs are simple:

  1. WeldingHelmet.png Welding Goggles.png Make sure you have welding protection.
    • Note: Be sure to remember this step or you could go blind!
  2. Welder.png Place a welder in your hand, click on it (or use the use key hotkey, 'Z') while it's in your active hand to light it, then click on the Cyborg repeatedly to repair it. Engineer cyborgs can also repair themselves and other cyborgs like this.

Occasionally Cyborgs are inflicted by more advanced damage that hurts their internal wiring. If this is the case:

  1. Id regular.png Swipe an ID with Robotics access to unlock the panel.
  2. Crowbar.png Crowbar open the panel.
  3. Screwdriver tool.png Use a screwdriver to expose the wires.
  4. CableCoils.png Use a cable coil to replace damaged wires.
  5. Screwdriver tool.png Screwdriver the the wires back in.
  6. Crowbar.png Crowbar the panel shut.
  7. Id regular.png Swipe an ID with Robotics access to relock the cover.

Cyborg Component Repair

Sometimes robots will have damaged components that need to be removed and replaced. Removing them is pretty straightforward.

  1. Id regular.png Swipe an ID with Robotics access to unlock the panel.
  2. Crowbar.png Crowbar open the panel.
  3. Powercell.png Use an empty hand on the Cyborg to remove the power cell.
  4. Crowbar.png Crowbar out the desired component.
  5. Exofab.png Fabricate the replacement part(s) in the fabricator, listed under Robot Repairs
  6. Use the replacement part(s) on the Cyborg.
  7. Powercell.png Re-insert the power cell.
  8. Crowbar.png Crowbar shut the panel.
  9. Id regular.png Swipe an ID with Robotics access to lock the panel.

Occasionally a robot will be so damaged that only the brain is salvageable, or perhaps it's volunteering for an AI core. You can remove the brain by following these steps.

  1. Id regular.png Swipe an ID with Robotics access to unlock the panel.
  2. Crowbar.png Crowbar open the panel.
  3. Powercell.png Use an empty hand on the Cyborg to remove the power cell.
  4. Screwdriver tool.png Use a screwdriver to expose the wires.
  5. Wirecutters.png Cut all five wires with wirecutters.
  6. Crowbar.png Use a crowbar to remove the MMI.

Human Prosthetic Repair

You may be asked to repair damage to the artificial limbs of your fellow crew members. To fix brute damage:

  1. WeldingHelmet.png Welding Goggles.png Make sure you have welding protection.
    • Note: Be sure to remember this step or you could go blind!
  2. Welder.png Place a welder in your hand, click on it while it's in your hand to light it, then click on the Prosthetic repeatedly to repair it.

To fix burn damage:

  1. CableCoils.png Use a cable coil on the damaged area.

Upgrading the Power Cell

Cyborgs that start when the game starts will likely come straight to you for an upgrade in the first few minutes of the game. Help them out by upgrading their power cell, which will lessen the amount of time they need to visit the recharging station. Click on the Cyborg with the following items (in order):

  1. Id regular.png Swipe an ID with Robotics access to unlock the panel.
  2. Crowbar.png Crowbar open the panel.
  3. Powercell.png Click on the Cyborg with an empty hand to take out the power cell and replace it with the higher-capacity power cell.
    • Note: The default power cell capacity in Cyborgs is 7,500. All of the power cells you find in your office should be at least 15,000, and the Science Department can research power cells that exceed 30,000.
  4. Crowbar.png Crowbar the panel shut.
  5. Id regular.png Swipe an ID with Robotics access to relock the cover.

Resetting Modules

Once a player Cyborg chooses a module (Engineer, Janitor, Security, etc) they cannot change the module without your help. You can manually reset its module to allow it the option of choosing a new one by following this order:

  1. Id regular.png Swipe an ID with Robotics access to unlock the panel.
  2. Crowbar.png Crowbar open the panel.
  3. File:Cyborg upgrade1.png Print out a reset upgrade in the fabricator, and insert it into the cyborg.
  4. Crowbar.png Crowbar the panel shut.
  5. Id regular.png Swipe an ID with Robotics access to relock the cover.

Modifications

Cyborgs that have had their programming tampered with can be repaired by resetting their AI connection and LawSync status, by manually pulsing the wiring. In the unlikely event that an AI goes crazy, a trained Roboticist or other technician should be able to sever the connection to the AI entirely by cutting the correct wire.

There are three lights in the cyborg with three corresponding wires:

  • LawSync: If this light is on, it means that any laws uploaded to the AI are also uploaded to the cyborg. The cyborg cannot be given different laws to the AI as long as this is on. This light will turn off if the AI Link light is off, regardless of wire status.
    • Pulsing does nothing.
    • Cutting will do nothing, as long as the AI link light is on. If the AI link light is off, cutting and then turning the AI link back on will cause the cyborg to be slaved to an AI, but not synced with it's laws.
    • Mending this wire will turn the LawSync light back on as long as the AI link light is also on. The cyborg will then resume syncing with the AI's laws. If the AI link light is off, mending this will turn the light on, only for it to turn off again.
  • AI Link: If this light is on, it shows that the Cyborg is slaved to an AI and must follow that AI's orders.
    • Pulsing this wire allows you to pick an AI for the cyborg to be slaved to if there are multiple AIs. If there is only one AI, pulsing this will simply turn it on and slave the cyborg to it, if it is off.
    • Cutting this wire will cause the Cyborg to be unslaved from the AI and bound only by it's laws. This also turns off LawSync, as the cyborg has no AI to sync to.
    • Mending this wire does nothing. You need to pulse it to reconnect it to an AI.
  • Module Lock: If this light is on, the module of the cyborg cannot be changed.
    • Pulsing this will reset the module of a cyborg and allow it to pick a new one.
    • Cutting this wire will cause the cyborg to be locked to the standard module and be unable to change or use any items. They can still remote control devices however.
    • Mending this wire will allow the cyborg to change modules.

An emagged cyborg will have no LawSync or AI link and cannot be reset.

Remember, cyborgs are very expensive! Do not destroy them unless the cyborg is completely out of control, and resetting the AI and LawSync status doesn't work.

Bots

As a Roboticist, you serve another important purpose, making NPC robots. Robots can benefit the station in many ways, and are really easy to create. The current list of robots, and how to make them, is as follows:

Medibot.png Medibot

These will only inject chemicals if the chemical helps with the target's damage by default. They can also be Emagged to repeatedly inject anyone with harmful chemicals. Note that these don't synthesise their own chemicals, except inaprovaline.

Combine the following ingredients in order:

  1. Cyborg Right or Left Arm.
  2. Empty File:Firstaidkit.png Medkit.
    • Note: Differently colored medkits will also change the resulting color of your Medibot.
  3. (Optional) Name the bot with a Pen.png pen.
  4. Healthanalyzer.png health analyzer.
  5. Proximitysensor.png proximity sensor.
  6. Beaker.png beaker filled with the medicine of your choice.

Cleanbot.png Cleanbot

Cleanbots are great, as they serve the exact same purpose as the Janitor, cleaning up messes like dirt, blood and vomit. Quite useful during the station's inevitable decline into violent chaos, as many of these can clean even the biggest mess. Even better is that it uses Space Cleaner to mop, so no slipping on everything!

  1. Bucket.png bucket (Grab it from the Janitor or make with the Autolathe. An autolathe can be found in the Science area.)
  2. Proximitysensor.png proximity sensor.
  3. (Optional) Name the bot with a Pen.png pen.
  4. Cyborg Right or Left Arm.

Floorbot.png Floorbot

Floorbots are nice to have around when some asshole starts crowbarring up floor tiles or some traitor has blown apart a section of the station. They zoom around and repair busted floor tiles. To make:

  1. Empty Blue Toolbox.png toolbox (Must be a blue one)
  2. Floor Tiles.png Floor tile (click on a stack of metal while it's in your hand to open a menu for making these)
  3. Proximitysensor.png proximity sensor.
  4. (Optional) Name the bot with a Pen.png pen.
  5. Cyborg Right or Left Arm.

Keep in mind that Floorbots have a limited number of floor tiles. This number can be observed by popping up their control panel.

Securitron.png Securitron

Basically, Officer Beepsky without the personality. You usually won't need to build any of these, but they can be hilariously helpful for traitors whom have invested in a Electromagnetic Card, as they tend to run around stunning and cuffing everyone in sight. Problem is, any of these that report a Level 10 Infraction when spotting people are obviously hacked. To make:

Note that destroying a Securitron or Officer Beepsky with a melee weapon is all but impossible by yourself; striking them causes them to immediately stun and cuff you. If you work with another person you can get several hits in while it is cuffing the other person, which is often enough to destroy it outright.

ED209.png ED-209

Beepsky's bigger brother. Has all of the abilities of a standard Securitron with the addition of a ranged attack. To make:

A emagged ED-209 fires deadly lasers AND attacks anyone on sight.

Spiderbot.png Spiderbot

Spiderbots are temporary bodies for brains. They can carry around small items, zap things, move through vents and generally act like pests.

Combine the following:

  • Robot head.
  • Manipulator.
  • Occupied MMI or positronic brain.

Mechs

Construction of mechs are restricted by ID, so they are typically the product of roboticists and the Research Director. These can be tremendously helpful or tremendously annoying depending on who uses it. They take more work to make than robots and require special circuits, which are obtained through the Quartermaster or the Research and Development console.

The current list of mechs is as follows.

Ripley APLU

Ripley.png
The Ripley APLU (Autonomous Power Loading Unit) is a slow moving, decently protected mech. Generally, it can take down a Gygax because of the sheer power of the drill, but it does not make a good combat mech because it is slow and has no range. Best used against Spess carp invasions, blobs, Changelings, and for Revs (using it to breach high security areas)

To make:

The Ripley should be complete, to access it use your ID card on it. The codes on the system mean that you have to have access to those places on your ID to use the mech. Click finish, then right-click to enter.

  • Thrusters for EVA use
  • Internal Airtank

Mech Equipment

Various tools and weapons can be attached to mechs, providng them with ability to perform different tasks. Mech Equipment is built by Mech Fabricator ("Exosuit Equipment" menu). To attach a tool or weapon, simply click with it on mecha. Most mechs can hold no more than three equipment pieces.

Drill
The drill can completely destroy most objects (with the exception of reinforced walls) in a few seconds. Using the drill on someone will gib them in a few seconds. So don't do that unless you're a traitor.

When used for mining, targeted and two adjacent mineral deposits will be drilled. If Ripley exosuit is equipped with Hydraulic Clamp and has an Ore Box in cargo, all mined ore will be moved to Ore Box.
(Can be attached to: Any Non-medical(?) mech)

Diamond Drill
Essentially an upgraded drill. Isn't any stronger, but it is faster (all you need for mining really). Bug R&D to sync their servers and in no time mining can obliterate the asteroid (provided that they bring you diamonds first)
(Can be attached to: Any Non-medical(?) mech)

Hydraulic Clamp
Gives it an ability to load objects into cargo compartment, or lets you crush people with it.
(Can be attached to: Ripley)

Extinguisher
Mecha-mounted extinguisher. Can be refilled by clicking on the Water Tank.
(Can be attached to: Any Non-medical(?) mech)

Teleporter
Mecha-mounted teleporter. Can teleport mecha to any location in view. Must be researched first (Requires: 'Blue-space' Research 10, Electromagnetic Spectrum Research 5. Currently only adminspawnable due to the high research level - don't bother, really. Or steal it from the Centcomm mechs. You know you want to just hijack the deathsquad shuttles after taking their IDs off their burnt corpses, charge out the doors with your stolen weapons in hand, hack your way through the multitudinous doors as more security rushes in with murder in mind and pulse cannons and power armour at hand, until you finally get to your prizes, the mech bay - only to steal the teleporters mounted on them and scarper back to the station to use them in the destructive analyser. You know it's what you want to do. Do it. Do it. Do it.)
(Can be attached to: Any mech)

Gravitational Catapult
Can be used to throw objects around (S mode) or move them away from target (P mode). Must be researched first (Requires: 'Blue-space' Research 2; Electromagnetic Spectrum Research 3; Engineering 3).

Mech Maintenance

Replacing Batteries

Note: The default capacity of a power cell in any of the civilian mechs is 15,000. To have any effectiveness, replace with Super Capacity Cells (20,000) or Hyper Capacity Cells (30,000).

Repair

  1. Equip a WeldingHelmet.png welding helmet on your head.
    • Note: Be sure to remember this step or you could go blind!
  2. Place a Welder.png welder in your hand, click on it while it's in your hand to light it, then click on the Mech repeatedly to repair it.

MMI Mechs

With all mechs, MMI's can be installed as drivers. But remember, mechs are not bound to the AI or its laws, so don't put any subversive elements inside them.

There are a number of disadvantages too:

  • They get no remote control like cyborgs.
  • They have no access except those given to them by swiping an ID.
  • They can be easily shut down from an exosuit control console like cyborgs.

If you and the MMI ever think that it was a bad idea to put them in the mech, you can always have them enable maintenance, open up the power compartment, take out the cell, and crowbar them out.
