During a ban appeal, I noticed someone saying it should be “common knowledge” not to eat all of a healing plant, so I decided to make a thread for all this “common knowledge” so new players don’t chomp a weed and melt all their organs.
This thread should be things that knowledgeable, but not worldly, players might miss. Things that aren’t on the wiki, but should still be known and make your life so much easier, especially in the not dying division.
For starters, obviously don’t eat all of a healing plant, because you’ll probably overdose and die.
Taking too much of most chemicals will fuck you up, actually.
Fire alarms can sometimes trip if they take damage, and you can shoot one to maybe drop the locks.
You can blacken windows with a spraycan to prevent seeing through them.
Hand teleporters always link to the beacons the actual, static teleporters are set to, so set it accordingly when you nab the damn thing.
Cardboard boxes stop mob aggro. If the station is overrun with nonsentient spiders, you can be a snake in the nest. Just make sure they don’t find you
you can walk on wet tiles to avoid slipping, unless it’s space lube
I also believe holding tab temporarily changes your movement to the other option for as long as you hold it, ie. holding tab changes run to walk for however long you want
