| =The Basics=
| |
| === Power Duty ===
| |
| To setup power, you'll want to locate the geothermal generators [[File:Geothermal.png|32px]] and assess the damage. Depending on the sprite, the generator will need different steps:
| |
| | |
| | |
| [[File:Geothermal_Destroyed.png]] = [[File:Welder.gif|link=|Welder]] -> [[File:Wirecutters.png|link=|Wirecutters]] -> [[File:Wrench.png|link=|Wrench]]
| |
| | |
| [[File:Geothermal_Broken.png]] = [[File:Wirecutters.png|link=|Wirecutters]] -> [[File:Wrench.png|link=|Wrench]]
| |
| | |
| [[File:Geothermal_Damaged.png]] = [[File:Wrench.png|link=|Wrench]]
| |
| | |
| '''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.

| |
| |The Sentry Gun automatically tracks and fires upon any target that is wearing an ID not hooked up to the Almayer's systems. Via IFF, they are unable to hit friendly marines, allowing them to be safely placed behind marine laws as they lay down supressing fire. Comes with various options, such as 360 degree mode, burst fire, and the ability to take control of it. Has 300 bullets.

The M56D can hold up to 700 tungsten rounds that cause high damage to the target upon hit due to their increased armour penetration. The tracking system of a standard smartgun is non-functional on the M56D. '''Note that this does not have IFF tracking built into it, so you will hit friendlies with it.'''

| |

| To rectify the above barricade placement errors you'll want to move the barricades back one tile like the photo on the left. By moving the barricades back this will allow you to shoot xenomorphs who are attacking them.

| ==FOB Space==
| |
| [[File:BadFOBspace.png|thumb|left]] [[File:Goodmovement.png|thumb|right]]
| |
| FOB space is an important aspect, for multiple reasons. One, it will allow marines to move in and out of the FOB in a quick and timely fashion. Two, it will cut down on FF as there will be more space to fire and less help intent shuffling.<br />
| |
| <br />
| |
| In the photo on the left, the FOB has very little space to move around, causing friendly fire and will prevent wounded marines from entering, and hindering supplies moving in and out as well. In the photo on the right, the FOB has ample space to move, reducing friendly fire, allowing good movement of marines and supplies.
| |
| <br />
| |
| <br />
| |
| <br />
| |
| ==Fixing Breaches in Defences==
| |
| [[File:Bad breaches.png|thumb|left]] [[File:FIXINGBREACHES.png|thumb|right]]
| |
| When setting up a defensive line in a FOB, you'll eventually come across a breach in your defences. There are several ways to repair this, but the way on the left is not an effective way to fix the hole. This will let you get slashed up by an alien running up willy nilly, and will give you less time to react if a xenomorph runs up.
| |
| <br />
| |
| <br />
| |
| The photo on the right shows the optimal way of repairing the breach in your defences. To perform this, you'll want to build a barricade back a bit. After this is constructed, you'll want to screwdriver it, and then wrench it, to allow it to be moved. Once this is done, you'll want to grab it and pull it to the tile below you, and then the breached tile as demonstrated in the photo to the right.
| |
| <br />
| |
| <br />
| |
| This will force xenomorphs to run into the FOB to attack you, and put themselves at risk of death due to being in the FOB. This method takes much more time than the other one, however, the safety gained from doing it is worth it's weight in gold ten times over. If there are no hostiles at all, building it in the normal manner is perfectly acceptable.

| ==Misc. FOB tips==
| |
| [[File:windows.png|thumb|left]] [[File:Repairingbarricades.png|thumb|right]]
| |
| In the photo to the left, it demostrates that windows, even if reinforced, are not an acceptable replacement for a line of all-american steel barricades. They provide no firing lines, and they do not withstand much punishment. Avoid using them as defences.
| |
| <br />
| |
| <br />
| |
| Barricades will end up damaged due to the ravages of war and incompetence, and if it isn't horribly damaged, you'll be able to use a blowtorch on it like in the photo in the right to repair it. This works on metal and plasteel barricades, and if they're too damaged they will be unable to be fixed. Each time you repair it, it will consume one unit of welder fuel.
