Roboticist

Are you a Roboticist? This guide will explain the creation and maintenance of Cyborgs, service bots, and scary exosuits.

Exosuit Fabricators

These are the main machines used in Robotics, with them you can create various exosuit and cyborg parts and their upgrade modules. Remember to sync these with the R&D servers frequently for new equipment designs and increased production speeds.

Keeping these intact and upgrading is your bread and butter of robotics, so make sure to always bug science to keep them nice and fed with parts, or just go and do it yourself if you're not too lazy.

Cyborgs

Total Part Cost: 100000

Requires
1 x each Cyborg part (made with the Exosuit Fabricator) 2 x (Exosuit Fabricator) 1 x 1 x (Higher the Better) 1 x → OR positronic brain OR B.O.R.I.S. module

The Cyborg is the Roboticist's primary creation. They are tasked with helping the station's inhabitants in their daily life and trying to kill everyone when the AI is insane. Each cyborg is required to follow the AI's laws, and may choose one of the AIs in the event that more than one exists. In the event that no AI exists for the Cyborg to be slaved to, they are instead given the default 'Crewsimov' Lawset

Assuming you already have the necessary components:

1. Insert a charged power cell into the cyborg's chest
2. Insert a coil of wire into the cyborg's chest
3. Insert two flashes in the cyborg's head (one for each eye socket)
4. For final assembly, take each component and apply it to the cyborg endoskeleton
5. Once it's complete, it's time for the brain. See here how to remove your volunteer's brain. (If the brain has been removed from the head without surgery, you will need to pour mannitol on it to fix it)
6. Now put the brain into your MMI, and then the MMI into the cyborg suit. Congratulations, your cyborg is complete. Put the brainless corpse into a body bag and deliver it to the Morgue (or throw it down the disposals chute because you have things to do). If when you insert the MMI into the cyborg it says "This MMI does not seem to fit." it means the user is job banned from cyborg.
7. Instead of a brain, you can insert a positronic brain (controlled by a ghost) or B.O.R.I.S. module (controlled by the AI) into the cyborg as well.

Cyborg Maintenance

In the beginning of a maintenance process, you need to open the Cyborg's maintenance cover. To open it:

1. Use an ID Card, Emag it or just ask the Cyborg to unlock its panel
2. Use a Crowbar to open the cover.

After the maintenance process use the same tools in reverse order so the Cyborg doesn't run around with its cover open, like so:

1. Use a Crowbar to close the cover.
2. Use your ID Card to lock the Cyborg. Borgs can't lock their panel.

Cyborg Repairs

Cyborgs will often come to you for repairs if damaged.

For brute damage:

1. Weld them to fix the dents.

For burn damage:

1. Unlock and open the Cyborg's cover.
2. Use an Empty Hand to remove the battery.
3. Screwdriver to expose wiring.
4. Rewire the damaged circuits. You may have to do this step more than once.
5. Screwdriver to hide wiring.
6. Re-insert the old battery or insert a new one.
7. Close the cover and lock the Cyborg.

Engineering cyborgs can repair dents on themselves and on their fellow cyborgs. They cannot repair burn damage though, since they cannot remove power cells to reach the wiring.

Cyborg Batteries

You will often see at least one Cyborg come to your assembly line to ask for an upgrade.

1. Unlock and open the Cyborg's cover.
2. With an Empty Hand, remove the old battery.
3. Insert a New Battery.
4. Close the cover and lock the Cyborg.

Cyborg Radios

Cyborgs can be installed with radio encryption keys, allowing them to communicate on secure department channels.

1. Unlock and open the Cyborg's cover.
2. Insert a New Encryption Key (or Screwdriver to remove the current Key).
3. Close the cover and lock the Cyborg.

Reviving Cyborgs

A cyborg that has failed but not been turned into scrap can be repaired back to working order.

1. Create an Emergency Restart Module at the Exosuit Fabricator (under Cyborg Upgrade Modules).
2. Repair the Cyborg with a welder and/or replace wires.
3. Unlock and open the Cyborg's cover.
4. Insert the Emergency Restart Module.
5. Close the cover and lock the Cyborg.

Upgrading Cyborgs

1. Unlock and open the Cyborg's cover.
2. Insert the Upgrade Module (or emag to subvert).
3. Close the cover and lock the Cyborg.

Resetting Cyborg models

For info on how to reset a cyborg's model, check out the Guide to Hacking.

Deconstructing Cyborgs

Cyborgs can be deconstructed to remove their MMI and get their parts back.

1. Unlock and open the Cyborg's cover.
2. Use an Empty Hand to remove battery.
3. Screwdriver to open wiring.
4. Cut every wire until the lockdown light turns on.
5. Wrench to disassemble.

(Alternatively, for steps 4 and 5, you can use a Robotics console)

Upgrades

Roboticists can construct upgrade modules for cyborgs, such as one that increases your movement speed. Should you wish to change models, ask the roboticist to cut and mend your reset wire.

Bots

As a Roboticist, you serve another important purpose: making robots. Robots can benefit the station in many ways, and are really damned easy to create. The current list of robots, and how to make them, is as follows:

Remember: All bots can be made through the crafting menu (T-like hammer hud-icon). This can save a lot of time during construction, especially if Robotics is busy!

Medibot

Injects a small amount of healing chemicals to whoever stands near it for long enough, depending on the type of damage done.

When emagged it will inject 5u chloral hydrate and damage you based on what they would have healed (brute if you don't need treatment) per step.

These are incredible to deploy around the station, as they can keep a person from dying from in critical condition, or massively ease the workloads on doctors while they're eating eachother out in the back room.

To manufacture:

1 x Borg Right Arm
1 x (EMPTY, any color)
1 x
1 x

Requires

1. Attach the Borg Arm (left or right, doesn't matter) to an empty Med-kit. Color of the Med-kit doesn't matter, although it will affect the colour of the Medbot.
2. You can pick the assembly up in your hand at this point and name it something clever/funny/stupid by holding your Pen in the other hand and clicking on it, if you wish.
3. Add a Medical Analyzer.
4. Insert the Proximity Sensor and your Medibot is ready!

Cleanbot

Cleanbots are great, as they serve the exact same purpose as the Janitor. What makes it even better is that it uses Space Cleaner to mop, so no slipping on everything! When Emagged (or hacked) it will spew slippery foam and melt people with acid.

To make:

Requires
1 x 1 x 1 x Borg Arm (left or right)

1. Grab a bucket from the Janitor or make with Autolathe and insert the Proximity Sensor to it
2. Use a Pen to name it if you wish.
3. Attach a Borg Arm and your Cleanbot is ready!

Floorbot

Floorbots are nice to have around when some asshole starts crowbarring up floor tiles or some traitor has blown apart a section of the station. They zoom around and repair busted floor tiles. Honestly, they're niche to the point of uselessness. But they make nice pets. Also, if emagged, they will deconstruct the floors into space.

To manufacture:

Requires
1 x Any toolbox 10 x 1 x 1 x Borg Right Arm

1. Attach a Floor tile to the Mechanical Toolbox.
2. Add the Proximity Sensor.
3. Insert a Borg Right Arm and your Floorbot is ready!

Firebot

This lil guy will scoot around and try his best to extinguish burning people and gases around him. If emagged he will spray Chlorine Trifluoride at anyone who isn't on fire.

To manufacture:

Requires
1 x 1 x 1 x 1 x Borg Arm (left or right)

1. Attach a Borg Arm (left or right) to the Fire Extinguisher.
2. Add a Fire Helmet.
3. Add a Proximity Sensor and your Firebot is ready.

Honkbot

It's annoying and useless, but the clown might bug you to make one of these in absence of a H.O.N.K. mech. God forbid if a traitor emags the thing.

To manufacture:

Requires
1 x 1 x 1 x 1 x 1 x Borg Arm (left or right)

1. Stamp a piece of cardboard with the clown stamp. (You may need a clown for this step)
2. Insert a Borg Arm
3. Add a Proximity Sensor.
4. Add a Bike Horn

Securitron

Basically, Officer Beepsky without the personality. You usually won't need to build any of these, but they can be hilariously helpful for traitors who have invested in a Cryptographic Sequencer, as they tend to run around stunning and cuffing everyone in sight. Problem is, any of these that report a Level 10 Infraction when spotting people are obviously hacked.

To manufacture:

Requires
1 x 1 x 1 x 1 x 1 x Borg Right Arm 1 x

1. Use a Remote Signaling Device on a Helmet.
2. Weld them together
3. Add a Proximity Sensor.
4. Insert a Borg Arm.
5. Toss in a Stun Baton and your Securitron is ready!

Note: Destroying a Securitron or Officer Beepsky with a melee weapon is all but impossible by yourself; striking them causes them to immediately stun and cuff you. If you work with another person you can get several hits in while it is cuffing the other person, which is often enough to destroy it outright.

General Beepsky

This is General Beepsky (or General Grieffous, your pick). A terrifying 4 esword wielding nightmare-bot created by a mad roboticist with the help of some leftover eswords, this thing is a traitor's worst nightmare. It takes down criminals by delivering deadly spin attacks, instantly downing a target with it's rapidly rotating eswords. It gets even worse when a Cryptographic Sequencer gets involved, as General Beepskey will begin to mercilessly track, kill, maim and subsequently disembowel any target he comes across.

Unlike normal Securitrons, General Beepsky can deflect projectiles with it's eswords. It's only true weakness is an EMP.

Has a toy sword version.

To manufacture:

Requires
1 x 1 x 1 x 1 x 1 x Borg Arm (left or right) 1 x Wrench 4 x

1. Use a Remote Signaling Device on a Helmet.
2. Weld them together
3. Add a Proximity Sensor.
4. Insert a Borg Arm.
5. Use a Wrench to adjust the arm slots for extra weapons.
6. Attach 4 Energy Swords and your death machine is ready to maim.

ED-209

PUT DOWN YOUR WEAPON. YOU HAVE 15 SECONDS TO COMPLY.

Beepsky's bigger brother. Has all of the abilities of a standard Securitron with the addition of a ranged attack.

To manufacture:

Requires
1 x Cyborg Endoskeleton 1 x 2 x Cyborg Leg 1 x 1 x 1 x 1 x 1 x 1 x 1 x 1 x

1. Build a Cyborg Endoskeleton from the Exosuit Fabricator.
2. Use a Metal Sheet on a Cyborg Endoskeleton to reinforce it.
3. Add two Robot Legs
4. Add a Body Armor
5. Weld everything together
6. Add in a security Helmet
7. Attach a Proximity Sensor to the assembly
8. Insert wires
9. Add a Disabler and attach it with a Screwdriver
10. Insert a Power Cell. Your own exosuit is complete!

An emagged ED-209 fires deadly lasers AND attacks anyone on sight.

Drone

A disposable little drone that runs around and repairs things. Controlled by players, and can't interact with any other beings at all (besides other drones). Usually good to make lots of these to let ghosts get back into the round if no one wants to bite on the Positronic Brains

1. Build a drone shell from science department lathe.

That's it! Any ghost can click on the drone shell to take control of it and start repairing the station.

Exosuits

These can be tremendously helpful or tremendously annoying depending on who uses it. They take more work to make than robots and require special circuits, which are obtained through the Quartermaster or the Research and Development console.

With all Exosuits, MMIs can be installed as drivers. But remember, MMIs are not bound to the AI or its laws, so don't put any deranged maniacs inside them. Remember to grant MMI controlled mechs access keys, because they don't have a keycard on them!

List of Exosuits

The current list of exosuits is as follows.
