{{Notice|1= This event has nothing to do with the actual [[AI]] of the station and the fact that it spawns should not be an excuse to call an AI rouge or Malf.}}
Fleshmind is an AI controlled random event where a rouge AI core spawns with one simple mission: spread and assimilate all.


The flesh spreads around the station by entangling everything from machines, to bots in wireweeds. On occasion the AI will decide to place a [[#Flesh Structures|structure]] somewhere, these can be anything from simple lights to assemblers that spit out nightmares to assimilate the crew and station. Fleshmind is a largely PvE based random event but it can quickly turn into PvP as it spreads around the station and grows more powerful. The flesh brings its own varied repertoire of [[#Flesh Mobs|hostile mobs]] to the table, each of them fulfill a role in the assimilation of the station and the battle for control (Players included!). Machines on the station that have been affected by wireweeds have a chance to be hostile when attacked. The vines that are wrapped about them can violently lash out at the attacker, turning an already hostile environment even worse.


The Fleshmind is controlled by its '''[[#Fleshmind_Core|core]]''' of which there can be several, with a maximum allowed of six. Cores will pop up randomly and a priority announcement is broadcast when one spawns (The annoucement only happens when two cores already exist). The [[#Flesh Mobs|hostile mobs]] spawned by the [[#Flesh Structures|structures]] will also grow increasingly stronger with each new core that exists. This effect does work both ways! Kill a core and the Flesh's mobs will be slower and deal less damage increasing the chance for victory.
=Step 0, Welcome!=
As you may have noticed Skyrat is a whitelisted 18+ community. So you may ask yourself; how do I get in?


Thought the Flesh may seem similar to Kudzu or a [[Blob]] it is far from that. An area can be covered in Wireweed and still be ''relatively'' safe to walk around in. The name of the game here is sabotage. Because if you want to win against the flesh you shouldn't try to fight the wireweed. Instead you should focus on taking out things like [[#Fleshmind_Assembler|assemblers]] and other key structures that hinder the progress of the crew. Eliminating crew that has been assimilated is also a good way to secure a victory. Ion weapons also make for a good offense given the synthetic nature of this event.
To join and get whitelisted all you have to do is follow the simple steps shown below here and you'll be in, in no time!

=[[File:Pen.png|64px|class=pixelart]]Step 1, Your application=
The very first thing you should do to begin your journey of getting whitelisted is joining the [https://discord.gg/utUVFn9s discord.]<br>
The discord has all the essentials, rules and necessary information you will need to submit your application for getting whitelisted.
At first you will only have access to a few channels, these channels are the following:
* '''#server-info:''' Has a collection of links and other resources with details about the server, github and Wiki among other things.
* '''#community-rules:''' Has all the rules that apply to the discord <u>and OOC behavior on the server.</u>
* '''#server-rules:''' Has all the rules and guidelines that govern IC behavior on the server, be sure to give some of these a good read since they will be important to your application!
* '''#access-requests:''' Is the channel where you will first be greeted by the bot and then told where you can go to fill out your application. (Staff will not reply to this channel unless the bot gets full)
* '''#application-instruction:''' Has all the information and instructions you will need to fill out a nice and proper application. Give this one a good read and follow the presented instructions!


Skyrat is an 18+ community and we have this application process in place to first and foremost, filter out underage players for obvious reasons and secondly to filter out trouble makers that could ruin the role-play environment of the server. Its a relatively short but needed process and will only take up to twenty minutes if done and filled out properly (Your application will be denied if its low effort or quality. Though staff is happy to assist by answering any questions you may have). It is highly recommended that you are not ''too'' brief with your answers to the questions you will be posed, write a bit and balance the amount of words you have per question nicely.


==The Flesh and you==
A document you '''Must''' read before joining is the [https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vQ6Qj4AwJlEIZ2oP9SRJVYwl9x3V1fglvqyiqOLQrmYVrWA6CiCerjaQhACvAA3FwLMPHCIHIgzqmRs/pub New player introduction packet.] This google doc covers all the basics of our rules and has a small list of additional reading material listed at the top to help you understand the rules.
As a player who has been consumed by the flesh you have a few options available to you to help progress the fight and assimilation of the station.


When converted three new action buttons will have appeared in your UI. Each has their own function that will be detailed Below:

Besides these new toys and tools you can play around with you are still a very normal crewman. With zero restrictions to your ability from before your assimilation. All you have now is a flashy new look and a new mission in life to unite all in flesh.
The channels you can see on the discord will be heavily restricted and limited until your application has been accepted.
==Flesh Structures==
The Flesh has a wide variety of structures available to it to help the process of assimilation along a little easier. Each serves their own function and will be listed in the table below:

==Flesh Mobs==
==[[File:Light Bulb.png|46px]]1.1 Tips==
Mobs that belong to the Fleshmind will progressively get stronger as more Cores are active around the station. Movement speed of these mobs will increase greatly to a point where even a [[#Fleshmind_#Mechiver|Mechiver]] will outrun the fastest crew member. Knowing what targets to pick in a fight and what they do can prove crucial in an engagement with them. In the table below an overview of all the Fleshmind mobs can be found.

|Just about the last thing you want to come across when fighting the flesh. Floaters are suicide bombers that they will explode on contact with an ememy or a mild gust of wind. Their low health makes them handy targets to shoot when they're in a large group of enemies for an easy detonation. Hit this one before it hits you. Floaters are created by assemblers.

Do not expect your ticket to be instantly handled and have some patience for staff to properly look at, and discuss your application. The process is not at all lengthy and should not take any longer than a few days. But once your application has been accepted you will gain access to both the server and the complete discord!
|style="text-align:center"|75
 
|A Globber is the angry version of a [[Guide_to_robotics#Cleanbot|Cleanbot]], instead of cleaning floors this one will throw acid at you from a distance as well as insults. It can be handy to drag one behind you if you have been assimilated already as a form of self defense. Globbers are created by assemblers.

Congratulations on getting your application accepted and being whitelisted on the server! You now have full access to all of the discord channels (Excluding staff and other hidden channels) along with ''most'' roles on the server!<br>
![[File:Fleshmind Stunner.gif]]<br>Stunner
Key word is most of the roles/jobs on the server since some are restricted to veteran crew. Veteran crew status can be obtained by applying for it on the discord and filling out the respective form and submitting a ticket.
|style="text-align:center"|100
 
|Stunners can best be summarized as rouge [[Guide_to_robotics#Securitron|Securitrons]] that are hell bent on killing you. Their small health-pool and low damage don't make them very threatening but they are very annoying since they will stun and harm-baton you. Stunners are made by assemblers or securitrons that got ensnared in the wireweed.
In the case your application has been rejected and you did not gain entry try again another time and listen closely to the feedback you got from staff about your ticket!

![[File:Fleshmind Borg.png]]<br>Flesh Borg
Rules on Skyrat are regularly updated and temporary measures/rulings are posted on numerous occasions. So it is generally good practice to keep an eye on the rule docs that are relevant to the roles and departments you play. The server rules themselves and the extensive list of docs can be found in '''#server-rules''' on the discord while rulings on certain topics and issues can be found in their own channels: '''#established-rulings''' and '''#placeholder-rulings''' the latter of the two is used for issues that need staff intervention and have to do with newly discovered issues or exploits in the game.

|Flesh borgs are Cyborgs that have been converted a [[#Fleshmind_#Mechiver|Mechiver]] or have been created by an assembler. They have a decent healthpool and have two different attacks: Claw: Which stuns the victim and Slash: that slashes everyone around the Flesh borg. When controlled by a player it will also have the ability to use the Flesh chat to communicate with the others that have been assimilated. The slash attack is on a 20 second cooldown if it is a player controlled Flesh borg.

|style="text-align:center"|200
|Treaders are a utility mob for the Flesh. Their ability is to release a healing gas that heals other friendly mobs around it. Bringing one to the front-line where the fight is at might prove beneficial to swinging the battle in your favor. Treaders are created by assemblers.

|style="text-align:center"|160
|Phasers can, like the name suggests phaze through and around stuff. It has the additional abilities of being able to split itself into four copies, one of which being the mob itself and phasers have the ability the enter closets when they're not being attacked. They're relatively low health and created by assemblers.
|-{{Anchor|Fleshmind_Mechiver}}
![[File:Fleshmind Mechiver.png]]<br>Mechiver
|style="text-align:center"|500
|Mechivers are the driving force behind the assimilation of people and [[Cyborg|borgs]]. Their ability is that they can shove someone inside of themselves, be it living or dead and spit them out as a newly assimilated member of the Flesh. They can also revive dead people that have already been converted. They're extremely slow and cannot be dragged around so you are at the mercy of the AI in how they'll react to their environment and what they're gonna do. They can and will push past anything, including walls and other obstacles in their path. Their conversion ability has a one minute cool down and they are made by assemblers.
|-
|}
==[[File:Light Bulb.png]]Tips==
*The flesh can spread both naturally but it can also  spread through the power lines.
*Work in groups when attacking mobs are structures.
*Eliminate mobs and structures that contribute to the growth and assimilation of the station first.
*Ignore wireweed as much as you can (It will grow back faster then you can break it) and focus on key targets instead. Like [[#Fleshmind_Core|Cores]]!
*As an assimilated human you should use the different abilities of the now friendly mobs to your advantage. Bring one along with you for protection for example!
*While assimilated as a player you can build flesh structures. Use this ability to craft deadly traps for the crew when they eventually start fighting back.

Step 0, Welcome!

As you may have noticed Skyrat is a whitelisted 18+ community. So you may ask yourself; how do I get in?

To join and get whitelisted all you have to do is follow the simple steps shown below here and you'll be in, in no time!

Step 1, Your application

The very first thing you should do to begin your journey of getting whitelisted is joining the discord.
The discord has all the essentials, rules and necessary information you will need to submit your application for getting whitelisted. At first you will only have access to a few channels, these channels are the following:

  • #server-info: Has a collection of links and other resources with details about the server, github and Wiki among other things.
  • #community-rules: Has all the rules that apply to the discord and OOC behavior on the server.
  • #server-rules: Has all the rules and guidelines that govern IC behavior on the server, be sure to give some of these a good read since they will be important to your application!
  • #access-requests: Is the channel where you will first be greeted by the bot and then told where you can go to fill out your application. (Staff will not reply to this channel unless the bot gets full)
  • #application-instruction: Has all the information and instructions you will need to fill out a nice and proper application. Give this one a good read and follow the presented instructions!

Skyrat is an 18+ community and we have this application process in place to first and foremost, filter out underage players for obvious reasons and secondly to filter out trouble makers that could ruin the role-play environment of the server. Its a relatively short but needed process and will only take up to twenty minutes if done and filled out properly (Your application will be denied if its low effort or quality. Though staff is happy to assist by answering any questions you may have). It is highly recommended that you are not too brief with your answers to the questions you will be posed, write a bit and balance the amount of words you have per question nicely.

A document you Must read before joining is the New player introduction packet. This google doc covers all the basics of our rules and has a small list of additional reading material listed at the top to help you understand the rules.

!!Some additional documents you should read before you join or get into Skyrat are the following:!!

The channels you can see on the discord will be heavily restricted and limited until your application has been accepted.

1.1 Tips

  • Be serious with the answers you give on your application.
  • Format your application properly as shown in the ready made questions list.
  • Dont be shy about giving longer, more elaborate awnsers.
  • .txt, .pdf, .docx, or any other document files containing your application will not be reviewed or accepted nor will links to websites containing your application.
  • Use multiple discord posts for your application if you feel the need to do so.
  • Q1 to Q4 give some general info about who you are and why you want to join so answer to the best of your abilities.
  • Q5 and Q6 are to get some insight into how you role-play and if you understand the rules, 100 to 150 words are recommended to be balanced between both questions.

Step 2, Submitting your application

After you have read all the documents you should have and after you have found your answers to the questions asked you are ready to submit your application.

To do so simply scroll to the bottom of #application-instruction and click the blue button that says: Apply!
A ticket will be opened for you to paste your application into and when you are done you can ping an Access Request Manager who will take a look at your ticket to review it.
It occasionally happens that you will be asked a few more follow up questions, please be so kind to comply with staff and answer the questions you are given, additional clarification may also be asked on some questions if your answers or responses are deemed too brief/short.

Do not expect your ticket to be instantly handled and have some patience for staff to properly look at, and discuss your application. The process is not at all lengthy and should not take any longer than a few days. But once your application has been accepted you will gain access to both the server and the complete discord!

Step 3, Welcome to Skyrat!

Congratulations on getting your application accepted and being whitelisted on the server! You now have full access to all of the discord channels (Excluding staff and other hidden channels) along with most roles on the server!
Key word is most of the roles/jobs on the server since some are restricted to veteran crew. Veteran crew status can be obtained by applying for it on the discord and filling out the respective form and submitting a ticket.

In the case your application has been rejected and you did not gain entry try again another time and listen closely to the feedback you got from staff about your ticket!

Step 4, The rules and you

Rules on Skyrat are regularly updated and temporary measures/rulings are posted on numerous occasions. So it is generally good practice to keep an eye on the rule docs that are relevant to the roles and departments you play. The server rules themselves and the extensive list of docs can be found in #server-rules on the discord while rulings on certain topics and issues can be found in their own channels: #established-rulings and #placeholder-rulings the latter of the two is used for issues that need staff intervention and have to do with newly discovered issues or exploits in the game.
