Luis's guide to cooking Unlock Requirements: Not available. Detailed Description: |__________| You are the Mess Sergeant!. Your job is to service the marines with excellent food, drinks, and entertaining the shipside crew when needed. You have a lot of freedom and it is up to you, to decide what to do with it. Good luck! As the mess sergeant you answer to the commanding officer. Special circumstances may change this. |__________|

"IT'S RAW"
― Gordon Ramsay

The Mess Sergeant (Msgt) is an enlisted USCM crewmember of the USS Almayer's service department. Trained in all types of engineering work and directly supervised by the commissioned Commanding Officer, they are responsible for keeping the crew fed, as well as any marines who might want some food other than a by product of a by product of a by product.

Overview

---

You begin the mission in the kitchen. There's milk, meat, vegetables, a microwave, all sorts of kitchen equipment you might need for cooking up some delicious fun :^) Your job is a roleplaying one, so you don't have to worry about any actual obligations. You could try to make the tallest sandwhich, or you could try making fortune cookies and giving them to marines.

Hydroponics

The Company has provided The USS Almayer's research wing and mess sergeant with a hydroponics area. Here, you can grow plants. In the south side of the kitchen, there's a door which to leads to your personal hydroponics area. Here you can grow all sorts of yummie veggies and fruits. Use this produce to make more meals! Yum! Don't worry about the research aspect of hydroponics in this guide.

MachinesItemsHow to do Hydroponics Research Machine: Description: Hydroponics tray A specialised tray to grow plants in. You may right-click the tray and select Flush Tray to reset it, removing everything including nutrients and refill it with water. The lights on the tray correspond to the state of the plant: Green: Plant is ready to be harvested. Red: Plant is unhealthy, old-aged or dead. Orange/Red flash: High amount of weeds or pests. Yellow: Low amounts of nutrients in the tray. Blue: Low amount of water in the tray. MegaSeed Servitor Vendor that contains the basic seeds needed to get started. Seed extractor Extracts seeds from harvested plants. Insert a plant sample to obtain seeds. Lysis-isolation Centrifuge By inserting a flora data disk and any plant material (such as seeds or samples), this machine allows you to process the genome of said plant. The plant material is destroyed in the process. Once analyzed, a set of genes can be extracted. This can be done only a certain number of times before the genes decay completely. The extracted data is saved to the floral data disk. This disk can then be used in the Bioballistic delivery system. Bioballistic delivery system. Uses data disks with extracted genomes from the Lysis-isolation Centrifuge. By inserting a disk and a target plant sample, you can override the existing gene with the stored one. Use this to positively select your plants. If you modify a sample genome too many times, the genome will decay completely. Item: Description: Flora data disk Data disk for storing plant genes. Used with the lysis-isolation centrifuge and bioballistic delivery system. Can only contain a single gene. Empty data disks can be found in the flora disk boxes inside the hydroponics locker. They can also be stored in the disk cabinet for better organization. Plant analyzer Used to analyze plants quickly and get a reading of its general properties. Mini hoe The mini garden hoe can be used to uproot weeds from hydroponics trays. Using the garden hoe will damage the plant slightly. Plant Clippers A specialised clipping tool for taking samples off plants. Use this if you want a sample from a plant before maturity, or if you want to harvest without removing the plant completely. Alternatively, other cutting tools may be used. Hatchet Used to cut down large plants into smaller parts. Usually wood. Spade Used to move dirt around. But we don't have dirt onboard, so it has little purpose right now. Bucket Its a bucket. Fill it with water and pour it somewhere. Plant bag Lets you carry a large amount of plant goods around. Click on a tile to store all the plants on that tile in the bag. Use the bag again to drop everything on another tile. Hydroponics spray Functions similarly to a space cleaner spray. Comes with ammonia. You might want to empty it and fill it with your own special mixture. You can spray this on hydroponics trays to add chemicals to them. Subject: Description: Identifying Genes Modifying your plants can require a lot of work and you may want to take notes during it. Gene labels are reordered and randomized each round, so identifying them requires some trial an error in figuring out which gene corresponds to what trait. Using the plant analyzer will be a great help during this. If you see a plant has a desired trait, try to extract one gene at a time from that plant and apply it to another. Once you see that the desired changes have occurred, you've identified the gene. A gene label represents the same trait across all plants. Some traits won't do much, while others can have drastic effects. Mutating plants Radioactive compounds might mutate your plants. Unlike the above process, this relies on RNG. It can kill the plant, change its properties or create an entirely new species. The plant might even start producing new chemicals. Keeping your plants alive Plants are living things and they can die of old age or if not taken care of. Make sure to remove pests and weeds. Some chemicals are beneficial and provides nutrients, while others can be toxic. If your plant is unhealthy, it might contain a lot of toxins, be weeded or contain pests. Providing your plants with water and nutrients will make them slowly heal.

Almayer Projects

---

If you've had enough of cooking meals in your little kitchen, and no one is wanting to take them, then you can try different things. For example, you can get a backpack and try spreading fortune cookies all around the Almayer. There are many possibilities. You could try making nuka cola and serving it to a marine with a daring sense of taste. If you can't think of what to do, ask for ideas from other folks or just explore the Almayer until an idea pops into your head.
