Does all alcohol help with surgery or is that just misinformation?
I only see ethanol, sterilizine and miner's salve having this:

Code: Select all

S.success_multiplier = max(0.1*power_multiplier, S.success_multiplier)
Edit: All alcoholic drinks contain ethanol, disregard that

A normal space suit yes, but a "hardsuit" is literally a brand of deep sea diving suits so that seems pretty reasonable.

Make the frame out of metal, place it infront of a wall, then, face said wall and hit the frame with a screwdriver and it will snap to the wall. You may need to alt-click the floor to see it.


This also works with security cameras

How do single tank bombs work?
What I expected was for the mix to ignite, and continue until the tank ruptures normally. What ends up happening is that there's a spark, and the tank just vanishes and let's out the mix for an underwhelming fire.
I've tried oxygen with plasma/tritium in a bunch of different ratios/temperatures, mixes I'd expect to have at least some kind explosion of any kind just does nothing, really. I don't get it

In real life no.
In game wew what a meme.

Plasma and oxygen start reacting at 400 degrees. If you fill the can with a mix just below that temp the igniter will push it above and make it explode, but that's just a weak grenade size. I know other people can manage bigger but they are magic.

Good one

Isn't it exactly 100C/373.15K they react? That's the thing though, unless I'm missing something, the igniter isn't raising the temperature. It just releases the gases and then lights it. The tank just vanishes
It even makes a tank with nothing in it just vanish.

Question on the mechanics of pyrosium and cryostalane

Do these chems heat faster and deplete oxygen more rapidly if there's more pyros/cryost present in the container?

Do they heat containers faster if there's less chems in the container, e.g. 50u vs 100u of water?

Well I think I figured it out.
I might be wrong, but it seems like the code for single tank bombs just looks at the temperature of the mix, and the total moles of plasma and oxygen, then does some calculations for the explosion size.
The problem is it's not doing anything with the mix. There's no actual reaction happening, no temperatures rising. It just makes up an explosion size based on volume and some threshold temperature, meaning you can fill a tank with 100% plasma at the highest threshold temp, and get the biggest explosion for some reason. Adding oxygen actually makes the explosion worse/non-existent, and tritium and other gases aren't even taken into account.

All of the oxygen is depleted instantly on reaction, and the temperature is raised/lowered instantly.
Having less chems makes it heat up/cool down more (again, instantly)
Same with having more of pyros/cryost with more oxygen. Makes the effect stronger (a lot more so than having less of the chem to heat up)

Not entirely correct, you only need 1u of Pyrosium and upon creation it makes the whole container instantly have a degree of 20K, although in practice you can't make less than 3u, if you do these 3u first in a macro mix, the subsequent chemicals will equalize the temperature closer to 300K.
If you mixed the pyrosium last and already have close to 100u in the container, there will be much more oxygen needed to heat your now close to 100u of 20K chemical mix.
Having more or less Pyrosium will affect the formula but only in the way of increasing or decreasing the volume of the container. It is only the amount of absorbed oxygen that actually affects temperature changes.

The mathematical formula is as follows when you add oxygen to a mix containing pyrosium:

Code: Select all

(existing_temp * existing_volume + 300 * added_volume) / newvolume + added_volume * 10

It definitely is. I've created multiple room temp canisters full before.
By the way, any amount can be 1000kpa if you heat it enough.

I think the fastest method involves repiping the combustion engine next to atmos to inject a 90/10 mix of Oxygen and Plasma to combust and on the output side filter out the Tritium.

How does a door get electrified permanently? Is it by cutting a certain wire?

Based on term "permanent" I'm going to assume the only way to fix it is to either cut the power wires for the airlock and crowbar it or deconstruct it and build a new one?

So to clarify, if the electrification wire is cut once, then mended, it will still be electrified, but if I find it and do it again it will be repaired? Because all the wires were fine.

If you cut the wire it zaps you and won't stop zapping until you fix it.
If you're the AI you can set a door to electrify indefinitely without fucking with its wiring.

Yeah sorry, I did read through that but the problem I had was kind of specific. I was fucking around as a drone and whenever I interacted with the door, it shocked me, and all of the wires were uncut. When I ghosted a bit later, i clicked on the door and it said "Electrified (Permanently)" or something to that effect, so I guess it was a borg/ai thing.

>33/66 oxy plasma
>let burn until ~8000C, then put in an unfiltered plasma container
>cool oxy to -200C
>make bomb
unless im reading wrong this is how it is in the guide on the wiki but i still get firecrackers that get no points

Blood can't make stuff like headslugs though, you want a stabilized pink extract, it gives all the mobs on screen your faction as long as you don't attack them (which is enough to get the headslug out with much less risk of a massive containment breach)
