Ever use a public nanite chamber outside medbay and just fall over dead? This guide will teach you how to make nanites that will do the opposite and have you celebrated as the robust man of science you are!
A note, nanites do not require any resources so it’s nice to do when you don’t have miners bringing anything back to the ore redemption machine.
First of all your going to need a couple of nodes from the research tree.Basic Nanites,
Smart Nanites,Biological Nanites, and Harmonic Nanites. These are not expensive nodes but I would suggest waiting at least until mining upgrades and tier 3 parts are done to not piss off the RD.
Now that you have all your research complete head on over to the nanite room. Take a nanite data disk out of the box and place it into the Nanite Program Hub you should see a list of programs that you can upload to your disks.
Step one: Upload monitoring (utility nanites) to the disk. Place the disk into the nearest Cloud Control Console, create a backup with a cloud id of '1 '(this is important unless you wanna fiddle with the control board of the public nanite chamber), go into the cloud backup you have created and upload monitoring to the cloud. Congratulations, you have now uploaded your first nanite program.
Monitoring simply sends your health data to the crew monitoring console.
Step two: Now take your disk from the cloud console and place it back into the Nanite Program Hub. Upload Metabolic Synthesis(utility nanites) onto the disk. Upload this program to the cloud.
This program will use your nutrients to build nanites! Make sure to eat when you are hungry.
Step three: Take your disk and upload Damage Sensor(sensor nanites) onto the disk. Now place the disk into that other machine you noticed in the nanite room, the Nanite Programmer. Were going to use this program to send signal codes to activate other powerful nanite programs! Once in the programmer set the activation settings to ‘above’ ‘1’ ‘brute’ damage and the ‘sent code’ to ‘1’. Once you have done this upload the program to the cloud.
Now take your disk and place it in the programmer again change ‘brute’ to ‘burn’ and then upload the program again into the cloud. You should have two Damage Sensor programs, one for brute damage and one for burn both sending out a code of ‘1’.
Step Four: Now place your disk back into the Nanite Program Hub and upload Health Sensor(sensor nanites) insert into the Nanite Programmer and set ‘health’ to ‘above’ ‘99%’ and the sent code to ‘2’ now upload to the cloud.
Step Five: Now you will see why you needed to add these sensors. Take your disk and upload ‘Bio-Reconstruction’(medical nanites) This is a powerful healing option but uses a ton of nanites! So were going only have it on when you actually need healing. Place the disk into the programmer and set its ‘activation code’ to ‘1’ and its ‘deactivation code’ to ‘2’. Now the program will activate when you take damage and deactivate when you are fully healed. Upload the program to the cloud.
Step Six: Take your disk and upload Death Sensor(sensor nanites) to the disk. Place into the programmer and set its ‘sent code’ to ‘3’. Upload to the cloud.
Step Seven: Take the disk and upload Defib (medical nanites). Place into the programmer and set its activation code to ‘3’. Now upload to the cloud. Now if you die and have enough nanites, they will attempt to defib you! Very useful!.
Optional robustness ahead
These next steps will add a ‘fake death’ to the setup. When you go into crit you will enter a Death Simulation fooling all those around you into thinking your dead. This will cause simple mobs to stop attacking you and if your lucky players. Don’t be surprised if people get antsy or the AI complains. Simply explain the purpose of the program and if they still don’t want your nanites it is their loss.
Step Eight: Upload Critical health sensor(sensor nanites) to your disk. Insert into the programmer and set its ‘sent code’ to ‘4’. Upload to the cloud.
Step nine: Upload Death Simulation(suppression nanites). Place into the programmer and SET IT TO INACTIVE. If you don’t do this you will constantly enter the simulation and come out of it as it will repeatedly activate and then deactivate. Now set its ‘activation code’ to ‘4’ and its activation timer to ‘30’. Upload to the cloud.
Now all you need to do is build a public nanite chamber. If you want to use multiple cloud id’s you can use a multitool on the public nanite chamber board and set it to any id that you want. Once it is built notify the crew of your Super Healing Nanites and receive your medal of captaincy for being so robust. Be aware though EMPs will now fuck your shit up so avoid them.
You should now have an idea of all the basic components of activating and deactivating nanite programs at will. Feel free to experiment with different nanite programs to suit your taste. There are almost infinite possibilities here!
TL;DR version.
(Harmonic)
Bio-Reconstruction
Defib
Death Simulation, set to de-activate 30 seconds after activation
(biological)
Damage Sensor (>1 brute/burn damage) activates Bio-Reconstruction
Health Sensor (>99% health) deactivates Bio-Reconstruction
Death Sensor activates Defib
Critical Health Sensor. Activates Death Simulation.
