Basic Construction This section or article has been slated for removal. Reason: The Guide to Construction should most likely insert all of these elements whenever possible. Having three different pages for construction of things in general, and just things (there's other guides for actually complex systems like engines) can't be good for newbies and players looking to sharpen up alike
This section or article has been slated for removal. It will be reviewed and either be removed or have this tag taken away. You can help by discussing it.
If you want to do any job like station engineer you need to know how to build and demolish stuff.

These tools can be found in any blue mechanical toolbox on the station.
Crowbar.png Crowbar Additional Uses: Opening unpowered doors, bashing heads in
Screwdriver tool.png Screwdriver Additional Uses: Opening panels, poking eyes
Welder.png Welder Additional Uses: Welding doors, burning people, breaking glass.
You will need a welding mask if you plan to do more than a little welding, also remember to turn off before you refill.
Wirecutters.png Wirecutters Additional Uses: Cutting people, wires and grills.
Wrench.png Wrench Additional Uses: Securing gas tanks, killing spys, fitting pipes, etc.
Materials To build anything you need materials, the two main materials are Metal Metal.png and Glass Glass.png, these can be found around the station, ordered from the Quartermaster or salvaged from parts of the station itself. If botanists are growing tower caps, you will have planks Planks.png to build with.
Once you have your tools and material you can starting building.
Wiring You cannot construct wires. They are only available right now from yellow tool boxes, or scattered about the station's construction and storage areas.
All wires are electrified if connected to a power net (a charged SMES battery is attached to the wire), and you will get fried if you touch them. Insulated gloves negate any electrical shocks to the player. Let's say you have the following situation to fix:
Main Article: Guide to Wiring
Pipes How do I get pipes? Pipes are only constructed from pipe dispensers in atmospherics. To use a pipe dispenser, follow these steps:
Put dispenser in a powered area. Wrench Dispenser to lock it into place. Click on the pipe dispenser with an empty hand and select the pipes you wish to use. You have a pipe to play with now. Wrench dispenser to make it mobile once more. Placing and removing pipes Disposal Rotate the pipe to the direction you wish the pipe to be in. Use a lit welder to fuse the pipe to the ground. Gas pipes Rotate the pipe to the direction you wish (pay attention to gas pumps as they are direction dependent). Wrench into place. Turn on the pipe if necessary. How to remove a pipe Perform the step you used to set the pipe into place in reverse (make sure the pipe is powered off). Brace for any junk that might blast out of the pipe.
Guide to Advanced Construction This is a guide to advanced construction such as machinery and consoles. If you were looking for advice on more simple construction, console Guide to Construction. If you wanted to know how to make the circuit boards below, use the circuit printer or Soldering Iron tool. Machine Construction Machine Frame.png Build a machine frame from your 5 metal sheets. Wired Frame.png Add wires. Circuit Frame.png Add a circuit board. The machine prompts your chat with required items, as you put them it it slowly makes its way to “it requires nothing.” Screwdriver tool.pngWhen all the parts are added, screwdriver the machine frame to finish it. Machine Stock Parts All machines are composed of components. There are better versions of many components, attained through research. These instructions only show you how to construct the very basic form of e.g. Exosuit Fabricator. But if you build an Exosuit Fabricator with the most complicated versions of the components instead of the regular ones, the machine will generally have some advantages, detailed below.
