How/why the hell.... - McDogles - 01-06-2014
I'm making this topic so that people can ask about how/why the hell things do what they do, because they are too lazy to use mentor help.
Two questions from me, both light related. The first being is there anyway to make light-bulb sockets, and not just light tube sockets? The seconds being what is the point of putting wire in an empty light socket before you put the light in? It doesn't seem to do anything, and just wastes wire.

My guess is putting wire in a sock is suppost to represent attaching it to station's power. Also, how do you upload text to a floppy using the PCs? When I ask mentor help no one answers.

Use a ThinkDOS computer's wizwrite program, you can then either copy and paste or move that file to the disk, you do this by switching drives. The command for this is "drive fd0" (fd0 is the disk). Once you are done transferring files you may return to the hardrive using the command "drive hd0" (hd0 being the hardrive)
Re: How/why the hell.... - Shoddy - 01-06-2014
There is no current way to construct a lightbulb socket.
what epicdwarf said about the wires.

New question of mine: On eribite power cells, it is said that they are "highly volatile". Does this actually mean anything? Like, can the cell overload, or explode it caught in a fire?
Also, if putting a wire into a light socket does nothing, then why can we do it in the first place?

Is it a bad thing if the automaton from the solarium dies? Also, What does it do?

out of all the things that could be shared, the solarium secrets cannot and should not be divulged.
I think the automaton is key to something if I remember correctly

The automaton is another piece of the solarium puzzle. Don't piss it off!

erebite cells recharge themselves really fast but will blow the fuck up if touched by any kind of heat or fire source
high risk high reward
Re: How/why the hell.... - KikiMofo - 01-31-2014
Oh so that's why I don't see people using erebite cells. I never knew they blew up if you get sparked.
Re: How/why the hell.... - Dabir - 02-01-2014
You also don't see them cause you have to get erebite, a roboticist who cares about making cells and a borg who'll sit still long enough to receive one. Since they negate one of a borg's greatest strengths, being able to walk through a towering inferno flipping the bird to fire, probably not worth it.

Erebite is also disgustingly rare. I'm a pretty busy miner and I've seen exactly one tile of it, just once.
