The Scientist is one of the most feared and fun jobs on station. Being a scientist means you can make and test a large number of tools and gadgets through research, construct highly explosive bombs, or study dangerous alien life forms.
The Laboratories
Research & Development
This lab handles the development of hi-tech devices including weapons, batteries, drills, and circuit boards.
Items around the station such as the hand teleporter, stun batons and analyzers can be collected used to improve research tech levels.
Your research efforts will cap at a certain point without minerals from mining, and you'll need those minerals to produce many of the high-tech items you can research. Co-ordinate with the Quartermaster or the Shaft Miners themselves to get the minerals you need.
For a more in-depth guide, see the Guide to Research and Development.
Toxins Research
Located out at the western sub-facility, you'll have to take a short hike outside to get here. The area is isolated to ensure that any mishaps you might experience in the course of your "research" won't endanger the main facility or the rest of the research department.
This lab focuses on exploring the possibilities of plasma gas, typically in the form of massive explosions. Also provided to you is the Explosive Effect Simulator, which allows you to see just how big of a boom your bomb could make without actually having to reduce anything to a smoking heap of rubble.
Bomb making is not all that easy though, as the Toxins Research Lab is really prone to outbursts of plasma, fire, plasma that's on fire, or even plasma that's on fire and spreading N2O. Yep, it ain't easy being a scientist.
For more information, refer to the Guide to Toxins.
Xenoarcheology and Anomaly study
Like Toxins Research, Xenoarchaeology is located out at the western sub-facility. This is because many of the artifacts you find can be hazardous or handled improperly, and could pose a threat to the station if you're not careful.
This whole place is focused on analyzing artifacts you'll excavate during digs on the planet or during away missions. If you're really lucky you might even find a large anomalous artifact to experiment on, which can do all kinds of interesting things. Worse comes to worse, you can also play the role of a second-hand shaft miner, but you still need at least a Quartermaster on staff.
For more information, refer to the Guide to Xenoarchaeology.
Xenobiology
This laboratory specializes in the the study of alien lifeforms, such as slimes and sometimes xenomorphs.
Careful handling and caution if this lab is advised as it is common for untrained personnel to inadvertently release the specimen. It is important to make sure your flock is fed, and any extra unneeded slimes culled to keep them from getting out of hand, it's also important to make sure adult slimes are fed enough to split, or they'll make a mess of their pens... Or you! Experiment on all sorts of fancy cores.
For more information, refer to the Guide to Xenobiology
Tips
- Unless you're a traitor, don't use the bombs on the main station. You'll get banned otherwise.
- Always warn the station before your detonate a bomb. Your resident Tajarans will be less likely to claw off your face and more likely to help you fix the inevitable damage to Toxins if you do.
- Change the frequency of the remote signalling devices so that other scientists or saboteurs don't set off your explosives themselves.
- You can open your PDA, minimize the new window, and leave your PDA in your pocket so that you can set off your bombs as long as you don't need to change the frequency. Whenever it's time for an explosion you just open the window you minimized, click send signal, and it'll do it!
- Always make sure you have at least one grey slime core on hand in-case of a sudden and unexpected loss of slime life.
Traitoring
It's possible to make bombs that utterly destroy a small area, gib only those people next to you, explode when you die, bring general ruin to entire wings of the station, and more! It is recommended that you use your traitor points on things to conceal your identity, or get a space suit for those 'accidents'. Protolathed objects and slime cores can make fore interesting weapons as well.
Moreover, your access to signalers unleashes a whole new world of possibility, remotely triggering weird behavior in electronic equipment, putting anyone off your track. Cameras, airlocks , protolathes, air alarms, mulebots; you name it!
Xenoarcheology is also a great source for weaponry, nothing says awesome like wielding a katana and going on a killing spree, if you're lucky, you may even find a loaded alien gun!
