{{Needs revision | reason = this doc is really big and really scary and there are things that are wrong with it that i dont even realize are wrong yet because thats how big and scary it is. TODO:
Update floor tiles icon, update gold icon, update silver icon, update uranium icon, update titanium icon, update diamond icon, reformat pipes page at the bottom to fit with the UI of the rest of the doc.}}

Grilles are usually used in combination with directional windows. They allow gases and energy rounds to pass through them, but stop other objects. They can also be electrified for high security areas by building them on top of a live power wire.
* Keeping people in or out.

==== Shutters ====
 
Airtight and surprisingly durable, shutters can be toggled on and off to open or close them and entirely lock down a tile. In order to link a shutter to a button or other device, you'll need a [[multitool]] to edit the identifier for that particular shutter.
==== Chairs ====
{{anchor|Chair}}{{anchor|Stool}}{{anchor|Bar Stool}}{{anchor|Comfy Chair}}{{anchor|Office Chair}}{{anchor|Winged Wooden Chair}}{{anchor|Swivel Chair}}
Chairs are for sitting down and making the place look nice. The only real use for chairs are to restrain people, building electric chairs or to buckle in when the shuttle is about to take off. Office chairs can also be used to move buckled people around.

====Toiletbong====
A toilet that has been re-purposed to function as an extravagant, high-level, professional smoking device for the weed connoisseur with high standards. Or perhaps you were just high when you came up with this idea.
It's a toilet with an attached flamethrower, able to smokify all kinds of produce and food. Normal people wouldn't smoke a pizza, but if you built this, you are one of the few who might.
More information on its general usage can be found [[Guide to hydroponics#The Toiletbong .28Getting high with style.29|here]].

This page needs to be reviewed/updated.
REASON: this doc is really big and really scary and there are things that are wrong with it that i dont even realize are wrong yet because thats how big and scary it is. TODO: Update floor tiles icon, update gold icon, update silver icon, update uranium icon, update titanium icon, update diamond icon, reformat pipes page at the bottom to fit with the UI of the rest of the doc.

If you want to do a job, like Station Engineer, you need to know how to build and deconstruct stuff.

Basic Tools

Before you can begin any construction or deconstruction you need to gather a few useful tools.

These tools can be found in any blue Mechanical Toolbox on the station. They can also be made in an Autolathe or dispensed from a YouTool vending machine.

Materials

To build anything, you need materials. Keep in mind that most materials can be used to make walls, doors, floor tiles, chairs, tables and statues.

  • Finish wall girders into walls. (2 sheets)
  • Repair broken walls. (1 sheet)
  • Add armor to turret frames. (5 sheets)
  • Refill an Exosuit Fabricator, Autolathe or Protolathe/Techfab. (2000 material per sheet)

Reflector

This is an angular beam reflector. Any energy projectiles hitting it will be reflected at an angle depending on rotation. There are also "box" reflectors that change the direction of struck projectiles to face a single way, regardless of where they impact the reflector. The supermatter engine uses reflectors to make its emitters' beams go through a single path. Ballistic projectiles will not be reflected!

  • You can weld it to anchor it to or unanchor it from the floor, or to repair it.
  • Use a screwdriver to lock or unlock its rotation.
  • Alt-click it to rotate its angle.

Closet

Closet are among the most common and arguably the most useful of containers on the station. Nearly anything can fit inside, barring other closet, crates, and certain especially large objects like racks and MULEbots.

Besides being welded shut, some closet can be, well, locked. Several levels of access exist, such as security-, captain-, and private-level access. These can be opened with the proper level identification card, emag item, or with enough damage. If you don't want to take out your id to open these every time, you can alt-click them to lock/unlock them.

If you yourself are inside a closet, you can see your surroundings. Normally you can move in any direction to exit the closet, but if the closet is locked or welded, you will be unable to exit and you cannot unweld or unlock your cell from inside - at that point if you try to move around you will instead throw yourself against the sides of the closet, making a BANG BANG sound that can be heard from several squares away. Using the Resist button will allow you to slowly open the locker.

Power Wires

Power wires (cable coils) are available from autolathes, yellow toolboxes, engineering vending machines or scattered about the station's maintenance-, construction- and storage-areas.

  • Wires can be electrified if connected to a power net (a charged SMES or APC is attached to the wire), and you will get fried if you place or cut them.
  • Insulated gloves negate any electrical shocks to the player.

How Do I Wire?

After a change in the summer 2019, wires will automatically connect to other wires on tiles in cardinal directions. To place, lift any floor tile with a crowbar to reach the plating. Then click the plating while holding cable coil in your hand to place the wire. To remove wires, use wirecutters on them. Powered wires will automatically electrify grilles and power some machines on top of them.

Wire Art

The wire art that was available before June, 2019 can still be made by using an item called "pipe cleaner". See the Guide to wire art.

Connecting Machines

Most machines are connected to powernets wirelessly by being in an arbitrary "area" containing a charged APC. Though some machines must be connected by having a powered wire under them.

With wire knobs now being just what a wire looks like after it's cut, all grilles on top of a wire that has power are shock grilles.

Please note those machines must also be anchored (generally wrenched down) to be connected.

Special cases :

  • APCs are connected to an adjacent powered wire with a special terminal, by doing the cable coil construction step.
  • An exception to the cardinal function is SMES, which has an input an output wire next to each other without being connected.


Wire Layers

You can put cables on different layers! Ctrl-click the stack of cable coil to toggle layer.


Layers do not connect, and can have separate powernets running along the same tile. Machines and terminals only connect to layer 2, yellow. Cable bridges can be crafted by using the cable coil inhand. Bridges link cables across layers on the same tile, or allow APC's/machines (those that aren't wireless) to connect to layers other than 2 when placed under them.

Wire-net Reset

This is Byond's attempt to "reset" the whole power net in order to deal with new/removed wires that shift the power value of a whole system. It will cause APCs to stop charging for a moment, and in huge nets it can shut down the charging of all APCs for a while.

Don't mess with wires unless you have to, it causes problems to everyone in both OOC (potential lag) and IC (power loss).

Pipes

Pipes are constructed from Pipe Dispensers in Atmospherics (or with an RPD if you aren't a complete wally). To use a Pipe Dispenser, follow these steps:

  1. Put Dispenser in a powered area.
  2. Wrench Dispenser to lock it into place.
  3. Click on the Pipe Dispenser with an empty hand and select the pipes you wish to use.
  4. You have a pipe to play with now.
  5. Wrench Dispenser to make it mobile once more.

Placing and Removing Pipes

Disposal Pipes

  1. Rotate the pipe to the direction you wish the pipe to be in.
  2. Wrench the pipe to the ground.
  3. Use a lit welder to fuse the pipe to the ground.

Gas Pipes

  1. Gas pipes act similar to wires. Pipes will form bends, manifolds, etc. depending on other pipes near them. For pipes to connect they must be on the same layer and must be the same color (gray pipes connect to all colors). Pay attention to gas pumps as they are direction dependent.
  2. Wrench into place.
  3. Turn on the pipe, if necessary.

How to Remove a Pipe

  1. Perform the step you used to set the pipe into place in reverse (make sure the pipe is powered off).
  2. Brace for any junk that might blast out of the pipe.
