PRIORITY: Medium
A list of some of the most common items you will find during a shift on the station. All jobs will have access to these items in one way or another, either through finding them throughout the various departments or by creating them from an Autolathe.
Items
Paper
- Found in: Paper Trays and office desks throughout the station
- Used for: Request forms, Résumés
- Strategy: Make it look professional! A useful and very over looked feature of paperwork is the '%s' Signature command, as you can't fake someone else's signature
You write on it with a pen. Medical doctors want it for forms, quartermasters want it for paperwork, even the judges want it for forms. Curators just want it for erotic literature; cultists want it for sinister uses. If you make a mistake, drip some ethanol on it to clear the sheet. You can ask the Chemists for it.

Pen
You can write on paper with a pen, but also on robots and bookshelves. This is essential to the Curator but not anyone else, except the warden, who will be writing NarutoxSasuke fanfiction when bored -- since they take up a whole pocket or backpack slot, most people throw them out immediately or shove them in their PDAs.

) - Used for: Quickly delivering 10 epinephrine to someone
- Strategy: Use it on someone, preferably on a person in critical condition
"A rapid and safe way to stabilize patients in critical condition for personnel without advanced medical knowledge." It stops someone in critical condition from accumulating more oxygen damage past 35dmg, or halts oxygen damage if above 35 already. Perfect for those without any medical knowledge, if you see a body on the floor, stab it with the needle in da box, and you might just be a lifesaver, if they haven't already died. If they have, congrats, you just found a way to get rid of the stupid needle you spawn with.
Crayon
- Found in: Art Storage, Crayonboxs
- Used for: Used for drawing cultist runes or coloring clothing items
- Strategy: Washing a pair of gloves with a crayon will change their color, allowing you to make fake Insulated Gloves
Comes in 8 colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, mime and rainbow. Write obscenities on the hallway floors, try to smoke it, shove it up the clown's a** and watch him puke purple.
They come in a 
Crayonbox.

Cigar. It can hold up to 30 units of any chemical. There are several kinds of cigars, some even more sophisticated than others.
Zippo
- Found in: Matchbooks inside the Cigarette machines
- Used for: Lighting things up
- Strategy: Use it to make fire
The zippo. A cheaper version of this is the 
Cheap Lighter, which comes in four different colors.
A more primitive version of these is the 
Match, which can be found in 
Matchbooks inside the Cigarette machines. Make fire with the match by using it on the matchbook.
Flashlight
- Found in: Emergency Toolbox, Hacked Vendomat, all over Maintenance
- Used for: Lighting up the darkness
- Strategy: If you're using one of these, someone probably fucked up the power system
It sheds light when you click on it, even if it's on your belt or in your pocket. The light sources stack to create brighter light sources, so if you have a flashlight in your belt, a flashlight in both pockets, and a flashlight in each hand, along with a safety helmet on your head, you will SHINE LIKE THE SUN, LEAVING EVERY DARK CORNER EXPOSED TO TRUTH! no longer shine like the sun because coders hate direct sunlight, but produce somewhat more light.
Can be used to tell if non-human creatures are dead or not, with a simple flash of the eyes.
Power goes off every round, so real pros just turn these on and leave them everywhere.
Also of note are 
Lanterns (found in Mining Dock), which are brighter than flashlights because Cargonia.
Hand Labeler

ifwhen telecomms goes down - Strategy: If the singularity is loose, it may very likely take out the telecommunications room. Other causes of telecommunications failures could be power loss or sabotage. So have one of these handy or find one quick
ifwhen shit goes down
The station bounced radio will function similarly to a standard radio headset if you put it in your pocket or in your hand; thus you can use the say ";radio message" function as normal without turning on the microphone to broadcast.
Using multiple radios can be done with say ":l message" for left hand and say ":r' message" for right hand depending on the hand used to hold each radio.
Turning on the microphone will pick up all sounds from the surrounding area and broadcast them.
Can be hacked.
