The Basics
Power Duty

Note that you can also examine a geothermal generator to see what tool is required for the next step.
APC Maintenance
If the APC hasn't been blown up or destroyed during a gunfight always check the apcs wires by unscrewing the apc frame and click on the apc with your wirecutters, if the wires come up with a mend option, mend the wires with the wirecutters. (Click on mend while holding wirecutters in your active hand.) If someone blew up the apc or blasted it into another dimension follow the steps below.
So, someone decided to throw a grenade next to the APC or you just arrived to a broken APC and your SL has tasked you with fixing it whilst the squad holds off the incoming xeno tide. No need to panic as this section will get you to quickly repair that APC.
- First you'll want to whack off the cover; to do this just hit the APC with any sort of weapon, generally a combat knife is good for this.
- Take out the battery (Power cell) in the APC once the cover is off with an empty hand.
- Use a screwdriver on the APC.
- Use wirecutters on the APC.
- Use a crowbar on the APC.
- Build an APC frame from 2 metal sheets then click on the APC with the APC frame in hand.
- Use wires (Cable Coil) on the APC.
- Click on the APC with a power control module in hand.
- Use a screwdriver on the APC.
- Place a new battery (Power cell) in the APC. (Just click on the APC with the battery in hand.)
- Use a crowbar on the APC.
- Open up the APC pop up window once you've completed all previous steps and turn on the breaker.
