PRIORITY: Medium

Clothing is what keeps you warm in the winter, let alone in the dead of space. Below are the objects which you can wear.

Short guide to clothes

Inventory

Your character has the following slots that are always available:

  • Jumpsuit
  • External suit
  • Back
  • Mask
  • Shoes
  • Gloves
  • Ears
  • Glasses
  • Hat

Jumpsuit unlocks for you:

  • Belt
  • Pockets
  • ID slot

An external suit unlocks external suit storage.

Contents of your pockets are not visible to others, but if someone tries to empty them you do not get a message unless you move. Pockets can hold tiny and small items. They can also hold mining satchels, despite being normal-sized items.

If you have a storage item in one of your slots, you can click on it to open it. If you want to take it to your hand, drag it to the hand slot with your mouse. You can also drag an item to your character on the map to open it. This will work with a pill bottle in your pocket, for example, or if you have something in your hands.

Damage protection

There are several types of damage in the game. Various pieces of clothing offer protection for the body parts they cover.

  • Melee
  • Bullet
  • Laser
  • Energy
  • Bomb
  • Biological
  • Radiation
  • Fire
  • Acid

Temperature protection

Some pieces of clothing offer protection from high/low temperatures. High-temperature protection is needed when everything is on fire. Low-temperature protection is needed when you are in space or very close to being in space. Items only protect the body parts they cover.

Protection Tags

Clothing and armor may have the phrase "It has a tag listing its protection classes" when examined. The tag will display a damage type and a roman numeral (I-X) indicating in tenths (rounded up) how protected it is from that damage type. Essentially, you can get a basic grasp of its actual protection values by multiplying the numeral by ten. For example, examining a Body Armor's protection classes (with the true values in parenthesis) would look like this:

PROTECTION CLASS
ARMOR (I-X)
EXPLOSIVE III (25)
BULLET III (30)
ENERGY IV (40)
LASER III (30)
MELEE IV (35)
DURABILITY
FIRE V (50)
ACID V (50)


Jumpsuits

Having a jumpsuit is extremely important. Without a jumpsuit, you will not have an ID slot, a belt slot, or any pocket slots. The jumpsuit is also useful in identifying your department at a glance, and so can be used as part of a disguise. In addition, jumpsuits now have a full suite of sensors that can be toggled and adjusted by right-clicking on it. They can give out data to the bridge including your location, your health, and your mortality. Some jumpsuits made to be practical will offer minor protection, which will be noted in their description. For example, the virologist's jumpsuit has minor projections against biohazards, while the Head of Security's suit will have a small amount of protection from blunt trauma. Plasmaman jumpsuits prevent plasmamen from being on fire when worn with a plasmaman helmet.

A bit different from the others is the prisoner's jumpsuit. In addition to its distinctive color, its suit sensors are always on maximum.

You can wash a jumpsuit in a washing machine with a crayon to paint it.

Jumpsuits
Jumpsuits
  • Found in: Everyone starts with one, several more are found in lockers all around the station

Hardsuits

Removed

As of December 24, 2021, Hardsuits have been removed from the game's code and replaced with MODsuits. This section is archived for historical purposes.

See https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/59109


Hardsuits are coldproof (if powered), pressure-proof, protect from electric arcs (especially when worn with yellow gloves!) and come with a built-in helmet that can be toggled on/off.
Most are flash proof and offer a bit of protection from brute damage, heat and radiation. All types of spacesuits will only keep you warm if its internal cell has power. Charge a spacesuit by keeping it in suit storage or by replacing the cell.
Cell replacement and thermal settings:

  • The cell cover can be toggled by alt+clicking (press the button) or using a crowbar (just pry it open) on the suit.
  • With the cover open you can remove the cell by using the suit in hand or ctrl+clicking the suit.
  • With the cover open you can also use a screwdriver to set the thermal regulator's temperature. The normal range is 20 c to 45 c.

Black Gloves
Black Gloves
  • Found in: Cargo Bay, Atmospherics, some other places in the station
  • Used for: Completing a outfit, or hiding fingerprints
  • Strategy: These gloves give heat protection, so wear them while firefighting and removing lightbulbs
Description

These gloves are fire-resistant. You can cut them into fingerless gloves File:BGlovesCut.png with wirecutters, at which point they obviously stop being fire-resistant.

Budget Insulated Gloves
Budget Insulated Gloves
  • Found in: Engineering and Primary Tool Storage
  • Used for: Trolling
  • Strategy: With all these budget cuts, Nanotrasen cannot afford high quality gloves for all crewmen. Budget gloves usually only provide the half protection from electric shocks most other gloves give, but can sometimes have full protection, 25% protection, or make you take more damage than if you were otherwise bare handed! These are far easier to obtain than regular insulated gloves, so roll the dice with them if you want. No refunds if you get zapped to a crisp while trying to hack into something with these! Unlike the real deal, you can fire ranged weapons while wearing these.
Description

These gloves are cheap copies of the coveted gloves, no way this can end badly. You can cut these into fingerless insuls File:IGlovesCut.png with wirecutters, if you want to obtain them without wasting precious real insuls.

Insulated Gloves
Insulated Gloves
  • Found in: Engineering, tech storage, and ordered by Cargo
  • Used for: To stop you from being shocked
  • Strategy: Trade your old gloves in for these, if you're not worried about disease. These handy yellow gloves, often reffered to as just insuls, are much coveted by certain members of the crew. While not as stylish as black gloves, they hide your fingerprints just as well and also protect the wearer from electric shock when hacking and manipulating power cables. Washing gloves with a yellow crayon will name them insulated gloves, but they will not protect you from shocks. Throw these gloves in a washing machine with a crayon to change the glove's distinct colour and name so you are not accosted for wearing them. If you are a masochist, you can cut someone's insuls into useless fingerless insuls File:IGlovesCut.png with wirecutters and watch them cry. Keep in mind, your large fingers will keep you from firing ranged weapons while wearing these.
Description

These gloves will protect the wearer from electric shock - whether by Hacking or delaminating Supermatter Engine.

Latex Gloves
Latex Gloves
  • Found in: Latex gloves can be easily secured from the morgue and medbay. They can also be found on the hands of medical personnel
  • Used for: {{{usedfor}}}
  • Strategy: Latex gloves are white and thin, they are the least suspicious of the gloves to be worn because they are so common and so freely passed out. It is far easier to dispose of gloves than it is to wash your bare hands. They can also be blown up into balloons! You will still burn yourself on light bulbs with these. You will only take 30% damage from shocks with these. When washed with a crayon, they become normal gloves.
Description

Cheap sterile gloves made from latex

Nitrile Gloves
Nitrile Gloves
  • Found in: There are three pairs of this gloves on the whole station. One in the CMO's office and two in the medbay storage.
  • Used for: Digging through the corpse of an assistant without catching whatever horrible disease they got from a suspicious needle in maintenance.

Tackling Gloves

These let you tackle people by enabling throw mode and clicking. Results are random.

Click expand for detailed explanation.

Tackles can be launched by equipping the appropriate gloves, enabling throw mode, and clicking on your target with an empty hand (assuming you're standing and not pulling anything). You will throw yourself at what you clicked, with special results if you hit a carbon/human mob, or any other dense thing failing that.

If you hit a carbon mob, the game will roll a die (from 3- to +3) and tally modifiers for both the tackler and target based on their status (dwarves and the developmentally clumsy are easier to tackle and worse at landing tackles, while giants have bonuses for both for example. Neutral rolls will see both parties take some stamina damage and a few seconds of knockdown, with favorable rolls for a certain party reducing their knockdown time and adding a bit of paralyzing to the loser. Generally, tackling is a disarming tactic and works better if you have backup to protect you and seize the opportunity you created while you're picking yourself up from the ground, rather than a solo tool. If you're a giant or have the special bruiser gloves, though, you can rely on them more for solo takedowns (as long as you don't miss!)

There are certain things you can do to shift the odds of getting a better tackle or making someone weaker to your tackles such as making them clumsy (-2), a dwarf (-2), injuring them so they have less than half health (-1), getting them slightly drunk (-1) or putting multiple wound types on their legs (-0.5 for each wound). On your part, what you can do to increase your odds of getting a good tackle is having gigantism (+2), having wings (+2), wearing riot armor (+2), or being so drunk that you look like a drunken mess or have blurry vision (+1). Things you can do to defend yourself against tackles better is by being fat (+1), wearing a modsuit or firesuit (+1) or by wagging your tail as a lizard (+1). To increase your odds of getting up before someone else does after an average tackle, it's recommended to be on nicotine, synaptizine, meth, ephedrine, pump-up or anything that reduces stuns.

If, instead, you launch yourself into a dense non-mob, you'll roll a die from 1-100 for what you suffer. The ill effects range from a brief knockdown and negligible brute and stamina damage, to concussions and brain damage, to outright paralyzation in the worst cases. Remember to wear a helmet before you decide to randomly launch yourself headfirst into a wall!

Jetpack
Jetpack
  • Found in: EVA
  • Used for: Propelling yourself in space
  • Strategy: Put it on your back and switch it on to maneuver in space or low-gravity areas.
Description

The jet pack is a backpack slot item filled with either Carbon Dioxide or Oxygen. Since it has no air intake and carries its own fuel, it is actually a rocket pack, but the game can't seem to tell the difference so here we are. This item allows one to maneuver in a frictionless environment by firing either an expendable gas or a precious air supply out the back. Two black jetpacks filled with CO2 spawn in EVA. Syndicate operatives start with compact Oxygen-filled harnesses. The Captain has a unique oxygen-filled jetpack.

For proper use of a jetpack, remember these simple rules:

  • Black jetpacks are filled with carbon dioxide by default. Using these jetpacks as internals will knock you unconscious and suffocate you. Can be refilled with anything.
  • Refill blue jetpacks with oxygen, not air (if you wish to use it for your internals, otherwise fill with any gas).
  • Always set it to 16-25 pressure if you aren't using the emergency mask from your starting box. If you still have that, hurry up and find something else!
  • Always toggle it on when you want to move or need to move quickly, but toggle stabilization off if you're just drifting so as to not waste your supply and remain untrackable.

Most jetpacks are too bulky to be stowed in a backpack.

Hardsuits can be upgraded to have an integrated jetpack, which works with a gas tank in the suit storage slot. Advanced hardsuits start off with one of these installed. MODsuits can be upgraded to have an Ion Jetpack.

Void Jet Packs may also be found in [REDACTED], which are filled with oxygen.

Earpieces

These little devices are issued to every crew member upon arrival on the station. Every job, no matter how insignificant, gets some form of headset. In order to talk to the station with it simply type say ;(your text here).

Different branches of the station get a unique headset with its own private channel. In order to use this channel type in say .h (your text here). And your message will be broadcast to others with the same type of headset. Note that this does not work on the basic model. You can tell the basic model by its black coloring and lack of label.

All headsets are equipped with a standard encryption key used for the common channel. Screwdrivers can be used to remove the encryption keys and use them in a different headset. All department headsets come with two keys. Use your headset in hand to manually enable or disable keys, or change your default channel.

Here is a list of channels and how to access them. Examining your headset also shows you all possible channels. # and . can be used instead of :

.c = Command
.s = Security
.e = Engineering
.u = Supply
.m = Medical
.n = Science
.v = Service

Using .h will connect you with your default department's channel.

Other uses:

.b = Binary (For AI and cyborgs)
.a = Alien
.i = Nearby Intercom
.h = AI Holopad (For AI)
.o = AI Private (For AI)
.l = Left Hand Radio
.r = Right Hand Radio
.t = Syndicate/Traitor (For when you have a Syndicate encryption key)
