Who am I?

Hi, I'm Sargeantmuffinman, the current wiki maintainer that will add various things to areas of the wiki. I mainly work on the marine side of things and will do general grammar changes to here and there. If other things are needed then I'll usually be the person for it.

This will also be a place for where I test wiki code.

Note worthy things

If you're uploading a new image from the map and want to add text. The font we use is city light.

To-Do List

  • Create a set of video tutorials on each and every occupation that is non-whitelisted.
  • Make more tea.

Proving grounds

The areas below are usually the place where I test and learn wiki code. Hopefully it might be useful to others if anyone actually reads this.

Using the Tank

This is where I would write the guide for using the tank, IF I HAD TIME.

Choosing your loadout

The tank has 3 primaries and secondary armaments, a choice between 4 support modules to equip the tank and 5 different kinds of armor. You can only choose one of each category. There a multiple combinations of to choose from but the most common are the most successful in the field of battle.

Loadout 1

STUFF:
Equipment: Description:
TankModule Auto-Cannon.png
AC3-E Autocannon
The AC3-E Autocannon is a primary armament for the tank. It fires explosive flak rounds that decimate enemy combatants within a tight area, damaging anyone in range with its flak. Holding 40 flak rounds in its magazine, you won't be frequently reloading, but do keep an eye on your ammunition count.
TankModule Secondary-Flamer-Unit.png
Secondary Flamer Unit
A heavily modified incinerator unit made for tanks, uses standard incinerator fuel and sets the enemy and your surroundings on fire. The secondary flamethrower unit excels at warding unwanted guests near your tank. Best used to deter any hostile from getting close to the tank.
TankModule ArtilleryModule.png
Artillery Module
Enables the gunner to see further. Similar to binoculars in function. Though the Artillery module doesn't see as far as standard issue binoculars.

The PICT System.png
PICT Systerm
The Precision Incision and Cauterization Tool uses a high-frequency vibrating blade, laser cautery, and suction liquid control system to precisely sever target tissues while preventing all fluid leakage. Despite its troubled development program and horrifying pricetag, outside of complex experimental surgeries it isn't any better than an ordinary twenty-dollar scalpel and can't create a full-length incision bloodlessly.
  • Improvised tools generally have a fairly high failure chance starting at about 25%.



Surgeries

Surgery is a simple process with a series of steps. Once these steps are memorized it should become effortless and routine to perform. Keep in mind that once you have mastery over the basics, it's a good idea to aim to be as fast and efficient as possible due to the importance of recycling casualties back into the fight, or even preventing them from dying in the case of Foreign Object/Alien Embryo Removal.

To begin operating a surgery on someone, you must Toggle the Surgery Mode to be On. Surgery Button.png

You will be forced on to Help intent (top left, 1) Intent-Wheel.gif, which allows you to perform any surgeries.


If you are in a rush, Disarm intent (top right, 2) Intent-Wheel.gif, this allows you to forcefully conduct surgery faster at the expense of your patient, causing more damage. Useful when you need to do a surgery, very quickly.



Anesthetic

There are two ways of doing this, anesthetic (with mask or using the surgery table) and powerful painkillers.

Note: if the patient's lungs are ruptured, they will occasionally not breath in the anesthetic. Depending on the damage to the lungs, they will either occasionally breath in the anesthetic or it won't work at all. Therefore, you will have to give the patient the anesthetic via Injection, until his lungs are not ruptured anymore.

Inserting an Anaesthetic Tank into the Surgery Table

Firstly click on the surgery table with an anaesthetic tank in hand. You must make sure your operating table has an anaesthetic to be able to put your patient to sleep. If the tank runs out, simply click on the table with no patient on it, with an empty hand and pop in a new one.

Anesthetic tank and medical mask

If there is no available operating table then, the first step is applying anesthetic to the patient via the anesthetic tank and medical mask and turning on its internals (encourage your patient to put on the tank and mask, and turn the internals on as this is fastest and allows you to proceed with step two immediately). It is advisable to remove the anesthetic tank and medical mask during the cauterizing step for maximum efficiency.

Painkillers

If in a rush, or you just want to do things quickly, you can give your patients Oxycodone for quick surgeries without anesthetic (15-20U recommended). You need to work quick though. Note that every form of anesthetic other than the anesthetic tank has a chance of causing your patient to flinch during the surgery, you can supplement the oxycodone with Tramadol, Inaprovaline or Paracetamol to eliminate any flinch chance. Use your medical scanner to monitor your patient's painkiller levels and re-dose as necessary. Using painkillers can cause distress in the patient (screaming over the radio about getting operated on without anesthetics, standing up and trying to leave or fight back).

Surgical table

The third step is to place your patient on the surgical table (grab your patient, then click the table with your grabbing hand selected). After words you must hook up the anaesthetic to the patient (click hold and drag the surgery table to the patient). After a short delay, your patient will be under general anaesthetic which will allow you to operate safely.


If you must, do to circumstances, you can improvise with a roller bed, even a table and if all else is unavailable, the floor, but these improvised surfaces add a failure chance to each surgical step (a table's failure chance is higher) as well as lengthening the surgical procedures. This will also require your patient to wear the anaesthetic tank and medical mask. Now that the preparations are done, you can begin with the actual surgery.

Different surgeries

There are two significant levels of surgery. Medics, Pilots and Nurses are able to conduct Level 1 Surgeries.

But for trained professionals such as the doctors and synthetics, they will be able to perform Level 2 Surgeries and below.


Level 1 Surgeries

Surgery: Description:
Surture Wound (Everywhere except mouth/eyes.) Suture and tend a wound that has either brute and/or burn damage on it. This will heal 10 brute and 10 burn damage on the targeted area. This will loop until all damage on the area has been fixed.
  • Tend to the damaged wound. Surgical Line
Foreign Object (Everywhere except mouth/eyes.) Removal of unknown objects, such as shrapnel, implants, or alien embryos from the body.
  • Incision Management System. Incision Management System OR Open the incision. (Scalpel->Hemostat->Retractor)
  • Open the skull or ribcage if necessary. (Bone Saw->Retractor)
  • Fish out the foreign objects until they are all removed. (Hemostat)
  • Close the skull or ribcage if necessary.(Retractor->Bone Gel).
  • Close the incision (Cautery)
Sealing a Stump (Severed Arms and Legs) Sealing a stump where the patient's arm or leg should have been.
    • Seal the stump. (Scalpel->Surgical Line OR Fix-o-Vein)

Level 2 Surgeries

Surgery: Description:
Alien Embryo Removal Removal of an alien embryo from the body.
  • This must be performed on an operating table.
  • Alien embryos will always be in the chest behind the ribcage. Time is of the essence when removing them, and you must complete this surgery as quickly as possible; your patient will die instantly when it finishes gestating, resulting in the birth of an alien larva. Make haste in removing any embryos.
  • Incision Management System. Incision Management System OR Open the incision. (Scalpel->Hemostat->Retractor)
  • Open the skull or ribcage if necessary. (Bone Saw->Retractor)
  • Cut away the larva's pseudoroots.(PICT System)
  • Pull out the alien embryo. (Hemostat) OR use your hands (not recommended).
  • Close the ribcage.(Retractor->Bone Gel).
  • Close the incision (Cautery)


Bone Repair Surgery (Everywhere except mouth/eyes.) This surgery is used for mending broken bones and fractures.
  • Note that a repaired bone will rebreak if your patient has more than 50 brute damage.
  • Incision Management System. Incision Management System OR Open the incision. (Scalpel->Hemostat->Retractor)
  • Repair the bone. (Bone Gel->Bone Setter) (Use the Health Analyzer to double check)
  • Close the incision. (Cautery)
Internal Organs Surgery (Groin, Chest.) Mending broken internal organs such as the heart or appendix. Note that this surgery excludes the eyes and brain as they have their own surgeries respectively.
  • Peridaxon does not heal organ damage. This is the only way to heal organs in the chest and groin.
  • Incision Management System. Incision Management System OR Open the incision. (Scalpel->Hemostat->Retractor)
  • Open the ribcage if necessary. (Bone Saw->Retractor)
  • Repair the biological organ with a Trauma Kit, or the robotic organ with Nanopaste. It loops fixing each damaged organ until none remain.(Advanced Trauma Kit/Nanopaste)
  • Close the ribcage if necessary. (Retractor->Bone Gel)
  • Close the incision. (Cautery)
Eye Surgery (Eyes.) Mending the eyes to cure blindness and eye damage.
  • Using imidazoline is usually faster than this surgery.
  • Mend the eyes. (Scalpel->Retractor->Hemostat->Cautery).
Brain Damage Surgery (Head.) Fixing up the brain.
  • Using alkysine is usually faster than this surgery.
  • Incision Management System. Incision Management System OR Open the incision. (Scalpel->Hemostat->Retractor)
  • Open the skull.(Bone Saw->Retractor)
  • Repair severe brain damage, if any. (Fix-O-Vein)
  • Extract embedded bone chips until they are all removed. (Hemostat) (Use Health Analyzer to double check)
  • Close the skull. (Retractor->Bone Gel)
  • Close the incision. (Cautery)
Internal Bleeding Surgery (Everywhere except mouth/eyes.) This surgery mends the torn/ripped arteries and veins within the body to stop internal bleeding.
  • Incision Management System. Incision Management System OR Open the incision. (Scalpel->Hemostat->Retractor)
  • Mend the artery. (Fix-o-Vein)
  • Close the incision. (Cautery)
Facial Reconstruction Surgery (Mouth.) This surgery fixes facial deformities caused by severe damage to the head. I.E. "Unknown as (name)" when speaking.
  • This surgery is of minimal priority and should only be done if you have literally nothing better to do. This is a combat operation, cosmetic surgery can wait.
  • Fix the facial deformities. (Scalpel->Hemostat->Retractor)
  • Close the incision. (Cautery)
Amputation (Limbs: Legs, Arms, Hands, Feet.) Removal of a limb.
  • Incision Management System. Incision Management System OR Open the incision. (Scalpel->Hemostat->Retractor)
  • Use the Incision Management System to sever the muscles. Incision Management System OR Sever the muscles using the scalpel. (Scalpel
  • Saw through the limb. (Bone Saw)
Limb Replacement Surgery (Limbs: Legs, Arms, Hands, Feet.) The replacement of missing limbs with robotic ones. Robot arms and legs are used to replace hands and feet; there is no need to further amputate if that's all the patient has lost.


If they've lost an organic Limb.

  • Seal the stump. (Scalpel->Surgical Line OR Fix-o-Vein)


If they've lost a robotic limb

  • Saw off the remaining clamps holding the broken prosthetic to the body. (Bone Saw)
  • Use your hand to take broken prosthetic out


  • Attach the robotic limb. (Robotic Limb)
  • Tighten the new robotic limb. (Hemostat) OR Use your hand (Click on them with help intent)
  • Calibrate the new robotic limb with your hand. (Click on them with help intent)
  • Inform the patient that the robotic limb can be repaired with Blowtorch Welder.gif(brute) and Cable coilsCableCoils.png(burn).
Synthetic Head Re-Attachment Surgery (Head.) Re-attaching a decapitated synthetic head.
  • Mend the torn silicone tissue. (Retractor)
  • Attach the synthetic head.
  • Reconstruct the tissue (Fix-O-Vein->Cautery).
  • Use a Defibrillator Defibrillator on the synthetic.

Note: There isn't a timer on defibbing a synthetic.



The Autodoc System

The Autodoc system is located in the middle of the treatment center and is only usable by the medical staff (and Squad Medics during WO). Note that while the autodoc is an extremely useful machine in medical, it cannot conduct larva removal surgery.

AutoDoc.png Operating Mode:
Manual: Manual mode will fix everything of the selected surgery type, for example selecting broken bone surgery will fix all broken bones one by one. Note that the autodoc cannot remove larva as, narratively, a removal procedure for this has not yet been programmed.
Manual Surgery List:
Autodoc manual list.png

Trauma Surgeries

  • Brute Damage Treatment: Treats and removes brute damage from the patient.
  • Burn Damage Treatment: Treats and removes burn damage from the patient.

Orthopedic Surgeries

  • Broken Bone Surgery: Repairs any broken bones the patient has.
  • Internal Bleeding Surgery: Repairs any internal bleeding the patient has.
  • Shrapnel Removal Surgery: Removes all instances of shrapnel from the patient.


Organ Surgeries

  • Eye Surgery: Treats and repairs eye damage and vision problems.
  • Surgical Organ Treatment: Repairs any damage to organs the patient has other than the eyes.


Hematology Treatments

  • Blood Transfer: Transfers blood into the patient. The autodoc has an internal reservoir of O- blood that it refills as needed.
  • Dialysis: Purges chemicals from the patient's blood stream; use with toxin damage chelation to treat poisoning and overdoses.
  • Toxin Damage Chelation (Kelation): Removes toxin damage.


Special Surgeries

  • Close Open Incision: Closes all open surgical incisions on the patient.
  • Facial Surgery: Treats and repairs facial deformities (typically from physical damage) so the patient can be clearly identified and doesn't look like an unga.
  • Limb Replacement Surgery: Replaces any missing limbs the patient has with robotic prosthetics.

Combining Surgeries

Very often people will come in with multiple problems at once. For instance, you might have a patient who has a fractured skull, brain damage, and shrapnel in their head. Performing three separate surgeries is very time consuming when other marines may be waiting. It is possible to condense the surgery down to one in such a manner:

  • Broken skull, brain damage, and head shrapnel removal surgery
  1. Use the Incision Management System. Incision Management System OR (Scalpel->Hemostat->Retractor) to make an incision.
  2. Bone Saw Cut through the skull
  3. Retractor Open up the skull
  4. Hemostat Here it gets a bit tricky, use a hemostat repeatedly to pull out bone chips and shrapnel until you get a message that nothing more can be found in the brain. Both types of removal can take several rounds or attempts.
  5. Fix-O-Vein Advanced Trauma Kit Use the FixOVein and Trauma Kit to repair hematomas and damage to the brain and eyes if necessary
  6. Use the Health Analyzer to check that the patient does not have brain damage! If the patient still has brain damage go back and use the hemostat and FixOVein more until the Analyzer shows no brain damage.
  7. Retractor Close the skull back up
  8. Bone Gel Use bone gel on the damaged bones in the skull
  9. Bone Setter Piece together the broken or fractured skull
  10. Bone Gel Add bone gel once more
  11. Cautery Seal up the incision
  12. Use the Health Analyzer again to see if the patient needs antibiotics or anti-toxins and administer them as needed

What about an infected marine with a broken chest, internal bleeding, and a ruptured lung? Here you'll want to use medication from the vendors in medbay in order to tackle the problems at hand.

  • Alien embryo removal, ruptured lung, and broken chest surgery (with a side of internal bleeding)
  1. First use one Quick-clot and one Dexalin Plus injectors to stop internal bleeding and to halt suffocation damage from the ruptured lung. While you can stop internal bleeding surgically, in the vast majority of cases a quick jab with Quick-clot is preferable. Keep a couple of Dex+ injector on hand to keep the patient from dying from the ruptured lung.
  2. Scalpel Make an incision quickly
  3. Retractor Ignore bleeders and rearrange organs. Removing the larva ASAP is the top priority right now
  4. Bone Saw Cut open the rib cage
  5. Retractor Separate the rib cage
  6. PICT System Begin cutting out the alien embryo
  7. Hemostat Begin pulling out the alien embryo
  8. Advanced Trauma Kit Repair the ruptured lungs and any other damaged organs, note that a mechanical heart requires Nanopaste to fix
  9. Hemostat Now stem the bleeders with the hemostat
  10. Retractor Close up the rib cage
  11. Bone Gel One application of bone gel for the cut rib cage. Cut rib cages and skulls require one application of bone gel after they've been pushed back together.
  12. Bone Setter Set the broken bones in the chest
  13. Bone Gel An application for the set bones. In general remember that fixing a broken bone requires two application of bone gel before the setting it.
  14. Cautery Cauterize the incision, your patient should be recovering nicely now
  15. Again, use the Health Analyzer to double-check your work and to dispense dylovene as needed

Tips

  • Patients can often tell you where they need surgery if an advance scanner is not available.
  • The hemostat step can be saved for later in the surgery or skipped entirely at the cost of damaging your patient over time.
