Items
ATMOS holofan projector
- Found in: Atmospheric technician's locker
- Used for: Cordoning off hull breaches and plasma floods
- Strategy: Quickly stop local gas floods and prevent hull breaches from sucking all the oxygen out of a room.
This projects holograms that block gases, but let objects pass. Easily your most effective tool to deal with emergencies - quickly seal hull breaches, stop gas floods and fires from spreading or even create a safe cloning/surgery room for Plasmamen.
Fire Extinguisher
- Found in: Extinguisher Lockers, Xenobiology
- Used for: Extinguishing fires and the lives of unaware command staff, ghetto jetpacks
- Strategy: A fire extinguisher will spray water across the room to put out fires or change your direction in space
This has multiple uses, from ghetto space travel to rocketing yourself down a hallway strapped to a wheeled chair, even to its intended purpose. Easily the best weapon against Slimes. A Chaplain can bless the water in a fire extinguisher to bless an entire stretch of hallway at once. Will need refilling at a Water Tank.
Holds 50 units of water, or whatever else you put into it.
Miniature Fire Extinguisher
- Found in: Emergency Toolboxes
- Used for: Putting out small fires, ghetto jetpacks
- Strategy: A fire extinguisher will spray water across the room to put out fires or change your direction in space
Functionally the same as a normal fire extinguisher, but has a smaller capacity and can fit into your pockets. Will need refilling at a Water Tank.
Holds 30 units of water, or whatever else you put into it.
Fire axe
- Found in: Atmospherics
- Used for:
Burglary and homicide, slipping and having the Clown steal itRescuing people from locked rooms - Strategy: Quickly smash airlocks, windows and grilles. Pry things open.
This Atmosian heirloom is excellent for quickly getting to the plasma fire that needs to be extinguished. Often the only reason anyone visits Atmospherics - in the wrong hands the axe is great for both burglary and robusting people.
Don't be THAT GUY who walks around with the axe out for no reason. Can be attached to the backs of hardsuits.
Emergency Oxygen Tank
- Found in: Atmospherics Office, Emergency Lockers, Internals Box
- Used for: As the name suggest, used as an emergency oxygen supply. It's not a question about if you need it, it's a question of when you need it, keep one with you at all time
- Strategy: Stuff it in your pocket, belt, or suit slot and leave it there, you'll need it
A small oxygen tank that you can wear in your belt slot or in the suit slot of various suits. It is typically kept at approximately 16 kPa, which provides just enough oxygen for you to breathe in.
Oxygen tanks of all sizes can be filled by Atmospheric Technicians and are used with a breath mask to set up an internal air supply. Can be filled to 1013 kPa, unless you get creative.
Oxygen Tank
- Found in: Tank Storage Unit, Emergency Lockers, Mining Outpost EVA
- Used for: Mostly used for hardsuits as it nicely fits in to the suit slot, but is sadly too big for a pocket. Also used for bomb making
- Strategy: Don't forget one of these when you grab a hardsuit. Put it on your back if you don't have a space suit.
An oxygen tank with a large capacity and a much slower oxygen consuming rate. A must for miners who like to stay in space for long times.
Can be filled to 1013 kPa, unless you get creative. Can be attached to the back of hardsuits.
Plasma Tank
- Found in: Tank Storage Unit
- Used for: Used for the Singularity Engine and bomb making
- Strategy: Handle with care
Used by Engineers for radiation collection from the Singularity Engine, by Scientists for bombs, and your typical scoundrel for lighting fires with a flamethrower or releasing toxins into the air, plasma is the most hunted resource by Nanotrasen. It's the reason you are here.
This is also a high-risk item.
Plasma Internals Tank
- Found in: Plasmamen, Plasmaman Supply Kit
- Used for: Used as a personal supply of plasma gas for plasmamen.
- Strategy: Put it in one of your pockets and leave it there.
Each plasmaman joins the shift breathing from one of these tanks in their right hand. This plasma tank is able to fit in the belt or pocket slot, but it can also go on the suit storage slot of a space suit or hardsuit. Its volume is much greater than emergency oxygen tanks, but you'll still need to refill it during longer shifts.
