Please discuss changes with assigned users. If no one is assigned, or if the user is inactive, please contact the Creative Director: User:Cora for wanted major or minor changes to the wiki, or Wiki Maintainer: User:LillyTrilby or CodeCat: User:LillyTrilby for general quick changes.

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 Exosuit Fabricator with as much 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 (with a recent update, please note that adding "all parts" will print four extra components that are only used for repair, not construction).
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.
4. When putting the parts together, use the File:Cyborg endoskeleton.png Cyborg Endoskeleton as a base.
   • The Cyborg Head will need 2x File:Flash.png Flash.
   • The Cyborg Torso will need 1x File:CableCoils.png wires and 1x power cell.
   • The arms and legs can be done 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. Perform the Organ Extraction surgery on the head to remove the brain of the patient.
2. Place the brain in an MMI.
3. (Optional) Before you give the Cyborg a new brain, you can name it anything you or your client wants. Grab a pen and use the pen on the Cyborg to rename it. Once you place the brain in the Cyborg, this step will not be completable.
4. Carry the File:MMI.png MMI over to your finished Cyborg construct that you made before, and click on it to add the brain into the Cyborg.

You can also use a normal table instead of an operating table, but this has a chance of missing one third of the time.

So You Decapitated Your Patient

Don't panic just yet! You can still complete the brain extraction by placing their head on the operating table and following the same steps as above. You should probably apologize to them after putting their brain in an MMI, though.

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. Equip a File:WeldingHelmet.png welding helmet on your head.
   • Note: Be sure to remember this step or you could go blind!
2. Place a welder in your hand, click on it while it's in your 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. File:ID sci.png Swipe an ID with Robotics access to unlock the panel.
2. Crowbar open the panel.
3. Remove the cyborg's power cell by clicking on it with an empty hand.
4. Use a screwdriver to expose the wires.
5. File:CableCoils.png Use a cable coil to replace damaged wires.
6. Screwdriver the cyborg to unexpose the wires.
7. Reinsert the power cell by clicking on the cyborg.
8. Crowbar the panel shut.
9. File:ID sci.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. File:ID sci.png Swipe an ID with Robotics access to unlock the panel.
2. Crowbar open the panel.
3. Remove the cyborg's power cell by clicking on it with an empty hand.
4. Use a screwdriver to expose the wires.
5. Crowbar out the desired component.

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. File:ID sci.png Swipe an ID with Robotics access to unlock the panel.
2. Crowbar open the panel.
3. Remove the cyborg's power cell by clicking on it with an empty hand.
4. Use a screwdriver to expose the wires.
5. File:EWirecutters.png Cut all five wires with wirecutters.
6. Use a crowbar to remove the MMI.

When finished, be sure to reinsert the power cell into the cyborg and close them back up with your crowbar.

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. File:ID sci.png Swipe an ID with Robotics access to unlock the panel.
2. Crowbar open the panel.
3. Click on the Cyborg with an File:Empty hand.png 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 the panel shut.
5. File:ID sci.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. File:ID sci.png Swipe an ID with Robotics access to unlock the panel.
2. Crowbar open the panel.
3. File:Robotics reset module circuit.png Print out a reset upgrade in the fabricator, and insert it into the cyborg.
4. Crowbar the panel shut.
5. File:ID sci.png Swipe an ID with Robotics access to relock the cover.

Cyborg Upgrades

There are several cyborg upgrade modules that can be printed from the prosthetics fabricator in Robotics, assuming sufficient research has been done beforehand. To apply an upgrade, open the cyborgs access panel and insert the upgrade inside it.

• Emergency Restart Module

 The least expensive way to revive a cyborg that has fully died. After repairing sufficient damage to the cyborgs body, applying this upgrade will reactivate it.

• Reclassification Board

 When applied, changes the cyborgs name to one chosen by the user. The name is modified by activating the upgrade module inhand.

• Module Reset Board

 Removes the cyborgs current module, allowing it to reselect a new one.

• VTEC Module

 Kicks in a cyborgs VTEC systems, allowing them to move faster.

• Rapid Taser Cooling Module

 Increases the recharge rate of a security module cyborg's taser. Two can be applied before further ones will have no effect.

• Mining Robot Jetpack

 Despite the name, can be applied to any type of cyborg. Gives the cyborg a CO2-filled jetpack.

• Advanced Health Analyzer Module

 Gives the cyborg an advanced health analyzer. While it can be applied to any cyborg, it is of limited use to non-medical modules.

• Scrambled Equipment Module

 Unlocks a cyborg module's hidden equipment, which is normally activated with an emag. These are universally either lethal or disabling weaponry.

• Language Module

 Allows a cyborg to speak nearly any language, instead of only understanding them. Clerical and Service module cyborgs have this function by default.

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.

Synthmorphs

A what?

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

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 have a very limited selection of medicines by default: Tricordrazine for all damage, and Spaceaccilin for detected Viruses.

Combine the following ingredients in order:

1. Start with an Empty Medkit.
   • Note: Differently colored medkits will also change the resulting color of your Medibot.
2. (Optional) Name the bot with a pen.
3. Add a Cyborg Right or Left Arm.
4. Add a HealthAnalyzer.
5. Add a ProximityFile:Proximitysensor.pngSensor.
6. (Optional) Add abeaker filled with the medicine of your choice.

Cleanbot

Cleanbots are great, as they serve the exact same purpose as the Janitor. Even better is that it uses Space Cleaner to mop, so no slipping on everything!

1. File:Bucket.png bucket (Grab it from the Janitor or make with Autolathe)
2. File:Proximitysensor.png proximity sensor.
3. (Optional) Name the bot with a pen.
4. Cyborg Right or Left Arm.

File:Farmbot.png Farmbot

1. File:Watertank.png on a watertank, use:
2. Cyborg Right or Left Arm;
3. File:Plant analyzer.png Plant analyser;
4. File:Bucket.png Bucket;
5. File:Minihoe.png Mini hoe;
6. File:Proximitysensor.png proximity sensor.

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 File:Btoolbox.png toolbox (Must be a blue one)
2. Floor tile (click on a stack of metal while it's in your hand to open a menu for making these)
3. File:Proximitysensor.png proximity sensor.
4. (Optional) Name the bot with a 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

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:

• Use a Screwdriver on a Remote Signaling Device
• Combine with a Helmet (Get these from Security)
• Hand Welder them together
• Add a Proximity Sensor and a Robot Arm
• Toss in a Stun Baton (or use a Slime Baton to make the xenobio helpful version, i really need to find what the name is)

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.

File: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:

• Use a metal sheet on a Cyborg Endoskeleton to reinforce it.
• Add two Robot Legs and a security vest
• Weld everything together
• Add in a security Helmet
• Attach a Proximity Sensor to the assembly
• Insert wires
• Add a Taser and attach it with a Screwdriver
• Insert a Power cell. Your own mecha is complete!

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

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 Chief Research Overseer. 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 Chief Executive Officer or the Research and Development console.

The current list of mechs is as follows.

Ripley APLU

The Ripley APLU (Autonomous Power Loading Unit) is a slow moving, decently protected mech. Used mainly for cargo and mining, but in a pinch, can be used as a combat mech with the addition of either a lead repeater or flak cannon.

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: Utility and Combat mechs)

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: Utility and Combat mechs)

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

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

Teleporter

Locking Mechs

Making sure no one can run off with that brand new mech you just built is important and can get the marshals out of your back. There are currently two ways to lock a mech : ID Locks and Genetic Locks.

DNA Locks

The best way to make sure only you can use the mech, it use your DNA to prevent anyone else to enter it. To lock your mech this way, climb inside and open the Stats panel. In Permission you should see an option to genetically lock the mech. You will feel a small prick as the mech take your DNA, and the DNA-Lock should appear at the top.

To remove a DNA lock, go to the status menu, and at the top there should be the DNA the mech is locked to, and next to it, a button to clear it. Alternatively, you can slap your ID on it, initiate maintenance protocols, and see an option to reset the DNA lock. However this option require CRO Access.

If you do lock your mech this way and you need to go back to the lower colony, make sure to unlock your mech beforehand so that others can use it. Nothing is more useless than a locked mech with no way of unlocking it!

ID Locks

The more acceptable option, this type of lock check the ID Permission of the user trying to climb into it. This type of lock allow roboticists to make sure only certain persons can use it without allowing everyone nor a single person to use it.

A newly built mech start with its ID Upload panel unlocked. Simply slapping your ID on it and clicking 'Edit Operation Keycode' will give you a list of the access on your card that you can upload or remove. After you are done, clicking 'Finished' will lock the ID panel.

To unlock the ID Panel, go inside the mech, to the status panel, and in the permission section, there should be an 'Unlock ID Upload Panel' button. Leave the mech and slap your ID on it. Going back to the upload section will show you a list of the current restrictions as well as the option to remove them.
