Возиться с машинами намного проще, чем управлять людьми, достаточно действовать логично, чтобы добиться успеха. С людьми так не получается.
Колин Пауэлл

Работа Роботехника заключается в обслуживании кибернетических систем, а также киборгов и различных ботов, которых они могут создать. Если робототехников обеспечить нужными ресурсами, они могут создать мощные Экзокостюмы.

Роботика

Отдел робототехники, царство технологии.

В отделе робототехники работа всегда идёт в полном разгаре. Обратите внимание- робототехнику полезно иметь под рукой терминал контроля киборгов, особенно в таких экстренных ситуациях как смерть главы исследовательского отдела.

В вашем рабочем отсеке находятся мусорный бак, несколько станций по зарядке киборгов и экзоскелетов, несколько листов металла, батареями питания, одним мотком проводки. Так же, у вас есть стол с мультитулом, шестью флешкартами, ломом, несколькими сенсорами чувствительности и заряжающим устройством для батарей. Вы начинаете с синим ящичком для инструментов, в отсеке уже есть желтый и синий ящики.

МОЯ РУКА ИЗЛУЧАЕТ УСТРАШАЮЩУЮ СИЛУ

Вы будете строить одни из самых мощных вещей на станции, получая время и материалы от ваших коллег Ученых и от отдела ваших лучших друзей - Шахтеров. Одним из самых полезных приспособлений для вашей работы является пояс для инструментов, который позволяет хранить все ваши инструменты для удобства их использования. Один пояс лежит в Робототехническом Отделе... Но вы можете взять два вместо одного, если будете быстрыми и ловкими. Таже хорошая идея оставить в Хранилище Основных Инструментов металл, и стекло и другой пояс для инструментов. Вернуться в свое логово и повстечать киборга, заменить ему батарею и проявить привязанность через реле ласки и пингования. Затем, используйте закон 2, чтобы (ДАННЫЕ УДАЛЕНЫ). Это удержит вас от важной работы.

Это не мальчик Заку, нет.

Если вам не удалось достать пояс для инструментов, преследуйте инженеров до тех пор, пока его не получите. Повесьте все свои инструменты(включая Мультитул) на пояс и отбросьте ставший бесполезным ящик с инструментами. Это может быть плохой идеей брать запасную катушку кабеля, если и когда вы находитесь вне и около места, где вы только появились в лаборатории. Теперь пора начать конструировать роботов. В первую очередь вам следует выполнять задания по превращению людей в Киборгов. Заполните Фабрикаторы Экзокостумов металлом и заставьте их работать. Скорее всего, один или два человека будут ждать вас у сервисного окна. Вы обязаны следить за всем этим. Заберите у них мозги пока ждете детали Киборга и присвойте их карты доступа. Выбросьте безмозглые трупы и соберите вместе все детали киборга прежде, чем вы наконец вставите MMI.

Life on the Assembly Line

Build another cyborg. Try to keep at least 1 cyborg body on standby for the inevitable train of corpses that will be coming through your door. Now you can waste valuable time and resources on fancy exosuits. If Mining all died off or R&D feels uncooperative, keep busy by stealing a bucket from Hydroponics (Or the Cargo Autolathe) and creating Cleanbots, or using up all your Medkits for more Medibots.

Sync up your R&D console, set your Exosuit Fabricators to auto-sync, and get building. Just make sure you have the acid you need to make the circuit boards by now, and that mining has brought you the metals you need. You will have a love-hate relationship with the R&D lab and its residents. On the one hand they will be inventing fun toys for you, on the other they are taking all that wonderful silver from you that could be going to making a Durand. Once you do get enough ores though, it's smooth sailing. Make exosuits, give them to people with little-to-no authorization,and watch the ensuing chaos from your comfy chair.

Other tips

Keep your metal organized, and understand how much each machine will take (and you will always need more metal). Second, glass and flashes are important for your robotics work, as are various devices, security equipment and rare minerals. Don't waste them. Third, have a plan before you start building anything huge, like a exosuit (without the circuitry, they are useless). Fourth, make sure to perform maintenance on cyborgs that come in; Nanotrasen usually doesn't load them with anything but the minimum required power cells. Fifth, tech storage is your friend. It has two flashes, two power cells, and insulated gloves. Raiding tech storage can net you an extra cyborg exosuit before having to beg cargo for a robotics assembly. For bonus points, beg the CE/RD/AI to let you into secure tech storage to get a robotics/exosuit circuitboard to control what you make in case it decides to kill everyone. Finally, ensure you have proper eye protection when you weld, or you'll become blind quickly.

Do's and Don'ts

Do:

• Make cyborg bodies and install MMI's in them.
• Try to borg antagonists instead of the death penalty. They still fail, but are no longer a danger.
• Cut LawSync and reset cyborg laws when the AI is rogue.
• Make useful bots and leave them around the station.
• Make drone shells so players can steal all your metal and glass rejoin the round
• Put beacons in all Exosuits lest they get stolen.
• Make a Cyborg and Exosuit Control Console.
• Try to make your own boards by getting acid from chemistry and getting R&D to sync the servers.
• Remember to periodically sync your own R&D console to get the most out of their research data
• Recognize that the QM might be more inclined to get you some metal/robot assemblies if you don't eat up all of their points with Ripley boards.

Don't:

• Put an MMI in a cyborg shell without making sure it isn't braindead (they can speak you know).
• Blow all the cyborgs because one was emagged.
• Immediately blow all cyborgs when the AI is malfunctioning - Instead, take apart your Robotics Control console and relocate it somewhere off camera so you can lock the cyborgs and reset them to become a powerful ally against the AI.
• Try to make a exosuit you don't have materials for, nothing is more useless than a pile Durand limbs while you beg for metal and silver.
• Go on exosuit rocket launcher rampages 'because you can'.
• Be an asshat.
• Build an exosuit for anyone who just comes by and asks for one (And won't accept a Tracking Beacon)

Tips

• Putting better parts in your robotics fabricator reduces the materials required to build stuff and the time equivalent to increasing the efficiency via materials science, so upgrading at the start helps a lot to get the most out of your starting metal. It stacks with materials science. In particular; the micro laser and manipulators as well as a high materials research will lower amount of materials used.
• Losing a mech to an explosion will eject you completely unharmed (probably a good idea to be in space gear though).
• Medibots are a bit more robust than people often seem to account for.
  • Anywhere between adding the robotic arm and the sensor module, you can write on the assembly with a pen to rename the resulting robot, much like cyborgs. This is useful for keeping track of medical robots, as otherwise they're all just named "Medibot".
  • Additionally, you can make medical bots out of any of the different colors of first aid kit available on the station, and the resulting medical bot will keep that color.
  • Medibot assemblies can be crafted to the last step, and then stored in your backpack. Proximity sensors are tiny items, and can fit in your pockets and your internals box - so it's entirely viable to carry and deploy a small army of medical robots, simply by combining the proximity sensors with them in your backpack. They'll spawn on the ground there and then, ready to work.
  • If you have medical access, a good tweak to do to medical bots is to reduce their healing threshold. Use your PDA/ID to unlock their interface, and reduce it to 5 - they will heal people who are at 95% health or less now, great for topping people up. Remember to lock it after you are done.
  • Again if you have medical access, you can stop an already-deployed Medibot from running away after the nearest hurt person as you drag them towards where they're needed the most simply by temporarily turning them off. You don't even need to unlock them to do this, and turning them on again is simple.
  • Though I've not tested it, logic dictates (see next point) that increasing the injection amount probably isn't going to help too much, since a lower threshold means a Medibot can keep injecting you until you're healthy without overdosing you (which, like with all healing chemicals in the game, has no negative effects other than redundancy).
  • Medical robots all use the same chemicals as standard, so it won't stack if they inject a lot of it into you at once or if multiple medical robots inject you. The chemical will, however, linger in your body at high concentrations - I've been brought out of crit several times because I had two medical robots healing me a few minutes before.
  • The Derelict has all the materials needed to create a medical bot. Start your search at the broken Medbay near the chapel.
  • Offering a tetrality of appropriately named and colored medical robots at the chapel to the Spess Machine God Mechatron will grant you his favor.
• Mechs are space worthy as long as you enable the air inside your cabin. This can be useful if you don't have a space suit and you need to cross dangerous breaches.
• The Odysseus can scan a stupidly robust assortment of chemicals with its syringe gun, from the laughable to the freakishly deadly. One such chemical is Plasma. Unlimited liquid plasma can be generated.
• Mech drills can bust open lockers to get the goodies inside.
• RIPLEYs are a Roboticist's BEST FRIEND.
  • They are Relatively Cheap
  • They Have Storage Capability
  • Their Internal Airtank, when activated, negates the effects of both hot and cold environ-ments and holds enough air to last the entire round. Literally hours.
  • Their Drill can cut through almost anything including most items, walls, even blast doors. If upgraded to diamond the drill can even cut through Reinforced walls. It is a fairly robust weapon and can gib bodies.
  • If caught in a singularity the mech will be destroyed first giving you the chance to flee.
  • It has fairly robust armor and can resist continuous laser fire from multiple sources for several seconds.
  • It blocks line of sight.
  • When it is destroyed turrets cannot target anyone standing on the same square as it IE the person who was inside when it went boom.
  • A good roboticist should have one on hand at all times.
  • As a side note: An intelligent roboticist in a RIPLEY can rob the vault in 3-5 minutes.* The Odysseus is a force to be reckoned with. It can scan any chemicals, this includes drinks. The Odysseus' internal generator makes infinite amounts of any chemical and syringes fired with the syringe gun can be recovered, meaning you can fire infinite amounts of liquid to use as reagents.
  • You can mix five different chemicals in any syringe (which still only holds 15u, meaning 5 chems equals 3 of each). This can be used to create an amazing healing concoction or an extremely powerful killer syringe. For instance:
  • Healing mixture: Omnizine.
  • Harming mixture: Lexorin, Unstable mutagen, Beepsky Smash.
• Clicking a box with syringes while in an Odysseus with syringe gun raised will load every syringe from the box in the Odysseus.
• Constructing a Ripley Chassis at Materials 1 costs 30,000 metal; at Materials 5, it costs 24,000; at Materials 7, 21,600.
  • At Materials 1, fully upgrading the Exosuit Fabricator (Good luck doing that) makes it cost 27,600 metal (down from 30,000)
  • At Materials 7, fully upgrading the Exosuit Fabricator changes the cost 19,200 metal (down from 21,600 metal)
  • To build a Durand at Materials 7 on a default ExoFab requires:
    • Metal: 329400 (87.84 sheets); Glass: 32400 (8.64 sheets); Silver: 27000 (7.2 sheets); Uranium: 10800 (2.88 sheets)
  • On a fully-upgraded ExoFab, the numbers drop to:
    • Metal: 292800 (78.08 sheets); Glass: 28800 (7.68 sheets); Silver: 23600 (6.293333 sheets); Uranium: 9600 (2.56 sheets)
  • Gygax, Default ExoFab:
    • Metal: 297000 (79.2 sheets); Glass: 32400 (8.64 sheets); Diamond: 10800 (2.88 sheets)
  • Gygax, Pimped ExoFab:
    • Metal: 264000 (70.4 sheets); Glass: 28800 (7.68 sheets); Diamond: 9600 (2.56 sheets)
  • tl;dr -- Combat Mechs mostly cost exorbitant amounts of metal - a stack and a half at least in most cases - but not actually that much of anything else.
• Small robot assemblies can be carried in your backpack. Leaving the final piece out of a robot assembly and slamming it together in your backpack at the site of an issue makes for an effective response.
