Nanotrasen Engineer's Seal

Engineers

The engineers and their chief are employees of Nanotrasen, and so, unlike Lazarus or the Free Trade Union, answer directly to the Captain as their superior. Per The Agreement, the engineering department will keep the ship's hull integrity and power at maximum capacity while repairing any hull breaches with no payment given aside from their salary. However, they may charge for cosmetic repairs or new additions to the vessel.

If you are looking how to set up the engine see this Guide to the Engine

Construction

All engineers must know how to build and repair the ship. This section will give you the knowledge of construction, deconstruction, and repair for anyone, even the lowly vagabond, to learn the basics of engineering.

To open the crafting menu, click on the materials in your hands (Steel, Plasteel, etc) and you will be given a new window with information on what resources you will need to construct what item, be they Girders or airlocks.

Machines

Useful Machines

This section is for explanation of the devices located in the engine room. These are the shield generator, emergency shield projector, and emitters.

  • Emitter: Mostly used to heat up the Supermatter in the engine for the creation of energy. If it is set in place, you can use a wrench to unwrench it to move it around and rotate it. To set it in place, you must wrench it to the ground and then weld it.
  • Shield Generator: Not to be confused with the Shield that protects the ship, these are portable generators that can be activated to put up a shield wall that will prevent projectiles and people from passing through it.
  • Emergency Shield Projector: This device will project shields on the exterior of a hull breach to allow engineers to repair hull damage without risk of venting atmosphere when the shield is either not powered on, or does not have atmospheric containment enabled.
  • Radiation Collection Array: Used to collect energy from radiation and converts it into electricity. Some enterprising engineers will set these up near the reactor core to collect extra power from the waste radiation given off by the SuperMatter.

Troubleshooting

As with many things, they break and it is always best to have an idea on how to repair them. This section will go over some basic trouble shooting methods for specific things that engineers may experience through their shift.

  • Thrusters malfunctioning
    • If you are not receiving fuel or if your ship is not burning, check the valves to each thruster and make sure they're open
    • Make sure you are sending phoron into the thrusters


  • Reactor malfunctioning or delaminating
    • Check for loose cooling pipes or damaged ones.
    • If you are running a plasma loop, make sure the emitter is on and no other gas but plasma is in the SM chamber.
    • Space the SM core. (Note: Turn off the shields before spacing the SM core, or you will end up blowing up the entire reactor area of the ship.)



  • Broken airlocks
    • Use a crowbar on the damaged airlock to remove the broken electronics, then proceed to replace the electronics with new ones.


  • Hull Breaches
    • Contain the breach before you begin work, use inflatables to create a small wall and door for you to access freely or use the shield projectors. Otherwise you may risk making the breach affect multiple areas of the ship.


  • Gravity Generator Damaged
    • Use a welder on the gravity generator to repair it.


  • Shield Generator Damaged or Destroyed
    • You are currently out of luck!


  • Repairing APC
    • If an APC appears to be malfunctioning, you can replace the electronics or disassemble the APC and reassemble to repair the issues if the electronics are still intact.

Experimenting

This section of the wiki is simply for those contributing to their discoveries, be they setting up the singularity generator or building a mining outpost on the asteroid. They are player created guides and not official, so experimenting with these are at your own risk. But what is a technomancer without risk?
