	~~Cloning was removed from the game in Jan, 2020. This is only for historical reference.~~
	~~<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed">~~
	~~Expand for the old guide to cloning.~~
	~~<div class="mw-collapsible-content">~~
	~~For a cloning process we need a dead body and cloning equipment, which can be found in your Cloning Room.~~

	# First of all, you have to know that for all things cloning, the [[Chief Medical Officer]] has a final say. He is your boss on this side of Genetics. If he tells you to clone someone and not some other guy, you do it. The only person with higher say than him on these matters is the Captain.
	# On to the specifics! How to clone: Just '''grab or pull''' a body and stuff it '''into the [[DNA Scanner]] and close the door'''. If you want to remove someone from a Scanner, click on it to open the door. Unless the Scanner is locked, the person/monkey inside is going to pop right out. [[File:Cloning_console_scan_successful.png\|thumb\|200px\|right\|This is the cloning console menu.]]
	# When the Scanner is occupied, '''interact with the Cloning Console'''. You will see a few options. The most important one is "scan". Click it. If they can be cloned, scanning will succeed regardless of whether they're in their body or not. There are several possible errors that can happen when you try to scan. See the [[#Cloning_Error\|ssection about cloning errors]] for details.
	# If scanning is successful, you will get a '''''Successful Scan'' -message'''. That means you now have that person's cloning data saved. You can use this record to steal their genetic data at any time, but cloning is more limited - if their last death happened after they got scanned, any attempts to clone using the scanned record will fail. [[File:Cloning_console_view_records.png\|thumb\|200px\|right\|This is what you see after clicking "View Records".]]
	# After you actually have DNA data from a person, '''click Check Records''', and then '''click View Record''' of the person who you want to clone. You will see a list of their [[#Unique_Identifiers\|UI]](Unique Identifiers) and their [[#Structural_Enzymes\|SEs]] (Structural Enzymes). These can be copied and pasted with a cloning data disk (see one of the images to the right). '''Click Clone'''. You will notice that the Cloning Pod is now fully active, with a shadow inside. That is the new body. You can now '''take the old corpse out of the DNA Scanner''', '''strip it completely''' so the cloned person can have their stuff back, and '''place the old corpse inside a body bag in the morgue'''. You don't have to worry about the old corpse anymore. [[File:Cloning_console_view_record_with_disk.png\|thumb\|200px\|right\|This is what can you see after clicking a specific "View Record" under "View Records". If you have an ID with cloning access you can delete a record. Otherwise it will say "access denied" when trying to delete it. If you have inserted a "cloning data disk" you have additional options to save or load [[#Unique_Enzymes\|UE]], [[#Unique_Identifiers\|UI]] and [[#Structural_Enzymes\|SE]] (dormant mutations) to and from that disk.]]
	# The cloning process takes about 2 or 3 minutes depending on upgrades. For whoever is getting cloned, it may feel like a very long time. While the person is getting their new body formed, take their '''belongings and stuff them all into a locker''', so they're not scattered all over or stolen. Cloning the captain and leaving their ID or other secure items on the floor is bad.
	#* '''Aborted cloning:''' Use this as [[traitor]] to screw with that assistant who talked smack to you earlier. During the cloning process, it is possible to eject the incomplete clone by unlocking the Cloning Pod with your ID and ejecting the unfinished clone (needs to be >40% done) or by getting an Engineer to unlock the Genetics APC so you can shut off the power temporarily, which also causes the clone to (instantly, no matter how done) eject. This will usually clone people without limbs or vital organs, making them die quickly.
	~~# The cloned people often have cellular damage. If so, take them to cryo to fix it.~~
	~~# After the pod is empty, feel free to '''clone your next patient''', and to let the old one out, since they most likely don't have clearance to open the door.~~
	# If R&D has been doing their job, they might upgrade the cloner to a level where it can '''autoprocess'''. If this is the case, you only have to press the Autoprocess button on top of the window, and the cloner will scan and clone automatically. This is useful to process a large pile of bodies quickly. Scan them one at a time, and autoprocess will do the rest.

	~~=== [[File:Husk.png\|64px\|OH GOD OH FUCK]] Hark! A Husk! ===~~
	~~So you've come across a [[husk]] (a grey corpse) on your floor, which means you can't clone that poor sod without upgrades. Before you go throwing that body in the morgue, they can still be helped!~~

	# First off, make sure it's a husk. Throw the body into a DNA Scanner, if it says ''Subject no longer contains the fundamental materials required to create a living clone'', then you have yourself a husk (if your DNA Scanner had been [[Guide_to_advanced_construction#DNA_Scanner\|updated]] to the max by the Scientists, you could clone the husk right now. So if you know they've been doing their R&D, ask them).
	~~# Take the body down to [[Surgery]].~~
	~~# Pester the CMO or a Medical Doctor to extract the brain, or do it yourself.~~
	~~# Put the brain in the DNA scanner like you would a body.~~

	~~Optionally a husk can be unhusked with [[Guide_to_chemistry#Rezadone\|rezadone]]. If all goes well then your cadaver will be reborn. <br>~~

	~~====Changeling Victims====~~
	If examining the husk shows "He/she is limp and unresponsive; there are no signs of life... " it means the body has a soul online. If the corpse still can't be scanned in fully upgraded cloning, it's possible it was someone who got absorbed by a [[Changeling\|changeling]]. There appears to be no easy way to revive absorbed victims. Not even through brain transplants.

	~~=== Helping the Headless ===~~
	~~Sometimes you'll find a corpse whose head is separated from their body. Thanks to the marvels of modern science, this is not a problem!~~

	#If you have a head or a brain, just chuck it into the cloner as normal. This may require the DNA scanner to be upgraded though. To clone a head or brain you must throw it into the DNA Scanner by activating throw with '''R''' and then clicking it, or by walking into the DNA scanner and dropping the head/brain. Then click the cloner to close it.
	~~#If you don't have the head, but you have the body, not all hope is lost: take a blood sample and give it to the botanist to make a replica pod, and the deceased guy will be reborn as a podperson!~~
	~~#If you have neither, he's dead for good.~~

	~~===Cloning Plasmamen===~~

	If the patient is a [[plasmaman]], cloning them will be complicated by the fact that the naked patient will burn in the station's atmosphere. This can be dealt with by using showers to keep the patient from catching fire, then dressing them in a plasma envirosuit.
	~~# Put plasmaman into cloning scanner~~
	~~# Scan them, start the cloning process~~
	~~# Drag their dead body to cloning pod~~
	~~# Undress them and leave their clothes in a pile~~
	~~# Turn on shower near cloning pod~~
	~~# Once they pop out of cloner, put them under shower and wait for them to dress up~~

	~~If the patient is a naked or beheaded plasmaman, follow these additional steps:~~
	# Once they pop out of cloner, put them under shower and feed them a few [[Guide_to_chemistry#Salbutamol\|Salbutamol]] pills (if available), or if desperate, keep a syringe of [[Guide_to_chemistry#Perfluorodecalin\|Perfluorodecalin]] ready in case you need it. Plasmamen suffocate if they don't have plasma to breathe!
	~~# Yell at [[Supply_crates\|cargo]] to order plasmaman supplies. In the meantime, bug Engineering/Atmos for a filled plasma tank.~~

	~~===Empty Cloning===~~
	Cloners have the option to "Empty Clone" a record, creating a mindless replica of a person. To complement this function, cloners can do Body-Only scans, which can only be used to create empty clones but not real clones, and bypass the sentience restrictions that ordinary scans have. These body-only entries can be deleted without requiring access.

	~~=== Cloning Errors ===~~

	\|-
	~~! Error message~~
	~~! Cause~~
	~~! Solution~~
	\|-
	~~\| Unable to locate valid genetic data.~~

	~~\| Stop putting bees in the scanner.~~
	\|-
	~~\| Subject's brain is not responding to scanning stimuli.~~
	~~\| The person inside has suicided or signed an infernal contract. Cloning is impossible.~~
	~~\| Let the [[Cook]] take care of them or put the body in the morgue.~~
	\|-
	~~\| Subject no longer contains the fundamental materials required to create a living clone.~~
	~~\| You're trying to scan a body that's been husked or smashed by megafauna, but your scanner doesn't have a (tri-)phasic scanning module.~~
	~~\| Remove the brain and scan it. Yell at RnD to upgrade your scanner.~~
	\|-
	~~\| Mental interface failure.~~
	~~\| The corpse has no ghost associated with it.~~
	~~\| Try again in a few seconds - ghosts get notified when someone attempts to scan their body. No success? Let the [[Cook]] handle it.~~
	\|-
	~~\| Subject already in database.~~
	~~\| That person has already been scanned.~~
	~~\| Start the cloning process. Want to update the current clone scan? The CMO can delete scan files.~~
	\|-
	~~\| Initialisation failure.~~
	~~\| The patient is still alive.~~
	~~\| Try again when the patient is dead.~~
	\|-
	~~\| Unable to initiate cloning cycle.~~
	~~\| Cloning has been disabled in the server config.~~
	~~\| Yell at admins and hand the corpse over to the [[Chef]].~~
	\|-
	~~\| Corpse has no head.~~
	~~\| [[Changeling\|Some asshole]] decapitated your guy - clone scanning is impossible without a brain.~~
	~~\| Draw a blood sample and ask [[Botany]] to clone them with the Replica Pod plant. Can't draw blood either? Your patient is out of luck.~~
	\|}

	~~Keep in mind that patching up a corpse with Synthflesh and then reviving it with Strange Reagent bypasses a lot of these issues.~~
