Circuits are a way to automate different actions extensively and easily! You can make a circuit that opens a door when you say a secret code to it, or a circuit that follows anyone you want while yelling obscenities at them, or well, anything really! Before starting to code with circuits, you'll need a few things:

Necessary Items

Integrated Circuit

The integrated circuit is the foundation for all circuits. Your entire build will we based around this little guy. However, it can't work by itself.

First and foremost, it requires power, which you can provide to it via a Power Cell. Once you're sure that the power cell you're gonna use is charged, just

Нажатие левой кнопки мыши. Эффект не зависит от того, включён режим боя или нет.

use it on the integrated circuit. If you ever want to change the power cell or take it out for charging, you may take out by using a Screwdriver on it.

Power cells drain whenever a component activates. By clicking the little i on a component you can see how much power each activation uses. If you don't know what I'm talking about, keep reading. Once you have a powercell you may place your integrated circuit into a Shell.

Shell

The shell will make it possible for you to add components to the integrated circuit, it'll let you access the circuitry, and it'll add input options so that you can interface with your circuit.

Depending on the shell, you might need to use a Screwdriver on it to assemble it before you're able to

Нажатие левой кнопки мыши. Эффект не зависит от того, включён режим боя или нет.

use the Integrated Circuit on said shell to add it.

If you ever want to remove the Integrated Circuit from it, just use a Screwdriver on it.

Different shells have varying size. Size represents how many components you're able to place inside a shell. There are four sizes:

• Small: Allows up to 25 components
• Medium: Allows up to 50 components
• Large: Allows up to 100 components
• Very large: Allows up to 500 components

There are many kinds of circuits, each with their special features: (If you're confused by what "output signals" or "entities" are, go down to Signal types)

Once you have a shell with an integrated circuit in it, you may access the circuit in it by using a Multitool on it, and you may also begin to add Components to your circuit.

Components

Signal types

Every single thing in circuits revolves around these signal types. They send either information or triggers, which is the bases of circuits. There are 7 types of signals:

• Signal: Think of these as a pulse of electricity or a shockwave. They are NOT binary, when you activate one a chain reaction begins throughout the rest. Can easily be turned into numbers but you should only do so for checking whether its 0 or not, since the value itself makes no sense.
• Number: Any number your heart desires. Can also be used as a signal component, with any number above 0 activating a signal. You can also connect them to a string input.
• String: Any ascii character. If you try to write numbers in this, they will not be classified as numbers, so you can't do arithmetic equations with them.
• Entity: If you know DM, this is the equivalent to an atom. If you don't, then basically it can be any single item or living thing.
• List: Any of the above data types, joined into a single element. You access said data types by indexing the list. You cannot make a list of lists, that's what tables are for.
• Table: A list of lists, usually used in databases such as the security arrests one. If a component provides a Table, you'll usually be able to see what each entry in said table is by clicking the information icon in the component.
• Any: Usually used in inputs, signifies that it can take any of the signal types above.
• Options: Changes what the component does, or what inputs it takes in. Can be changed with a string signal type.

Available Components

You might need to research specific things to unlock some of thse components.

Name	Description	Inputs	Outputs
Arithmetic	When triggered performs basic mathematical operations: Adding, substracting, multiplying, getting the minimum and getting the maximum.	Options (Options) Add Subtract Multiply Divide Minimum Maximum A (Number) B (Number) C (Number) D (Number) Trigger (Trigger)	Output (Number) Triggered (Trigger)
Clock	When the input is any number above 0, it'll begin sending the output signal every 0.9 seconds.	On (Number)	Signal (Signal)
Comparison	When triggered checks two of the inputs to see if they're equal, not equal, lesser than or bigger than the other. The Result output returns either 0 or 1 depending on if the comparison is true or not.	Options (Options) = != > < >= <= A (Any) B (Any) Compare (Signal)	True (Signal) False (Signal) Result (Number)
Concatenation	Combines up to four strings into one string.	A (String) B (String) C (String) D (String) Trigger (Signal)	Output (String) Triggered (Signal)
Concatenate List	Turns a list into a string by adding a specified separator between the items. For example, we have a list that has two items, "Item1" and "Item2". If we set the separator as "," then we get "Item1,Item2". If we set the separator as " " (a space), we get "Item1 Item2".	List (List) Separator (String) Trigger (Signal)	Output (String) Triggered (Signal)
Delay	When triggered, waits the specified amount of time in seconds, then triggers the output	TBA	TBA
Direction	When triggered, will output the direction towards the target entity from the point of view of the shell as either a string or a signal.	TBA	TBA
Get Column	Gets the column of a table and returns it as a list.	TBA	TBA
GPS	When triggered, outputs the current position of the shell the Integrated Circuit is in	TBA	TBA
Health	When triggered, gets the health and damage amounts of the entity input.	TBA	TBA
Voice Activator	Triggers itself whenever it can hear a message, may this message be oral or through a radio. Returns information about said message and the speaker. If the message comes from a radio, you wont be able to get who said the original message.	TBA	TBA
Index	When triggered, indexes a list to get the value of an item in it. For example, let's say you have a list with the following items: Item1, Item2, Item3 and Item4. If you index the list by 1, you'll get "Item1" as the output.	TBA	TBA
Length	When triggered, gets the length of an input. If the input is a list or table, gets how many items it has. If it's a string, gets how many characters it has. If it's a number, retunrs 0.	TBA	TBA
Light	Emits light. The "On" input will make the light turn on if the number is anything above 0, and it'll turn off if it is 0.	TBA	TBA
List Literal	Basically, let's you create lists. If you use it on your hand, the amount of inputs increases. If you right click it on your hand, the amount of inputs decreases. When triggered, joins the inputs into a list.	TBA	TBA
Logic	When triggered, checks whether if: its inputs are all true (AND), one of its inputs is true (OR), ONLY one of its inputs is true (XOR)	TBA	TBA
MMI	Let's you add an MMI to the Integrated Circuit. The "Message" and "Send Message" inputs let you send the MMI inside the shell a message that only it can hear. The outputs correspond to the keys in the player controlling the MMI's brain's keyboard: North is Up/W, East is Right/D, South is Down/S, West is Left/A, Attack is Left click and Secondary Attack is Right click.	TBA	TBA
Module	If you know programming, this is basically the equivalent of a function. If you don't know programmming, think of it as an integrated circuit inside an integrated circuit. Useful for making circuits look way less messy. You can duplicate these using the Module Duplicator.	TBA	TBA
Multiplexer	When triggered, checks to see if the number input is a number from 1 to 4, and if so, chooses the respective input of that number. For example, If I type "Test1" in the "Input 1" Input, and "Test2" in the "Input 2" Input, then change the value in the Input selector to 2, it'll return "Test2". It's as confusing as it sounds.	TBA	TBA
Not	If it receives anything other than 0, outputs 0. If it receives exactly 0, outputs 1.	TBA	TBA
NTNet Transmitter	Transmits any kind of data through the NTNet network, if Tcomms is destroyed then tough luck. Data can only be recieved by the NTNet Receiver.	TBA	TBA
NTNet Receiver	Recieves data sent through the NTNet network, if Tcomms is destroyed then tough luck.	TBA	TBA
Pressure Sensor	When triggered, outputs the sensor of the exact tile in which the shell is at that time.	TBA	TBA
Radio	Sends and receives frequencies from radios or other radio components.	TBA	TBA
Random	When triggered, outputs a random number between the minimum and maximum numbers you set as inputs.	TBA	TBA
Router	TBA	TBA	TBA
Select Query	For use with USB cables. Gets you the table that matches the column name and comparison input you provide it. For example: You connect it to the security arrests console, and from the arrests database you want to get the info of your friend, Mops-The-Floors. On the Input value, you connect the database output. On the Column Name you type "Name", and on the comparison input you type "Mops-The-Floors". It'll get you the table who's "Name" value matches "Mops-The-Floors". From there you can index it and get its arrest status, its crimes, etc.	TBA	TBA
Self	Returns the current shell as an entity.	TBA	TBA
Sound emitter	Emits a sound. You can choose what sound to emit from the options menu, and you can change both frequency and volume	TBA	TBA
Get species	When triggered, returns the species of the entity input as a string.	TBA	TBA
Speech	When triggered, says what you inputted in the string input out loud.	TBA	TBA
Split	Splits a string by its separator, turning it into a list. For example, you have a string that "Looks like this". By setting the string input to that string, and its separator to a space (" "), you'll get a list that "Looks", "like", "this"	TBA	TBA
String	When triggered, checks whether the string you set in the "needle" input is in the string you set in the "haystack" input. For example, if you put "in" as the needle, and "You are in my room" as the haystack, it'll return true, since "in" is in the sentence "You are in my room".	TBA	TBA
Temperature Sensor	When triggered, returns the current temperature in the tile the shell currently is in.	TBA	TBA
Textcase	When triggered, makes it so that its string input is either all in lowercase or all in UPPERCASE.	TBA	TBA
To Number	When triggered, converts a string that's only numbers into a number signal.	TBA	TBA
To String	When triggered, converts its output into a string component. If it's output is an entity, it'll return the name of the entity. If the output is a list or table, it'll return "/list". For actually turning a list into a string, look at Concatenate List.	TBA	TBA
Typecast	If the input value is the Signal type you set in the options, returns the input value. If not, returns nothing.	TBA	TBA
Typecheck	When triggered, returns what Signal type the inputted signal is.	TBA	TBA
Pathfinder	When triggered, will calculate a path towards the X and Y coordinates you set as inputs. Once calculated, will return a "step" (aka where it has to go next to continue said path). If triggered again when the shell arrived at the step, will output the next step, and so on and so forth. If used with the Direction component, can be used to make a Drone that moves by itself.	TBA	TBA
Pull component	When triggered, will start pulling the entity input if its right besides it. Only works on Drone shells.	TBA	TBA

Circuit Multitool

Let's you mark entities, which can later be uploaded to entity inputs by clicking the arrow pointing up when you have a circuit multitool in your hand. Can also be used to see circuits by double clicking them with it, but a normal Multitool should do fine.

USB Cables

Let's you connect a shell to a technological device. To do this, while you're grabbing the usb cable, click on the shell, then on the device you want to connect with. When you do this, you should get a new component on your shell. To disconnect, click the little "x" on the top right of the new component. You can only interface with a few select devices:

Name	Description	Inputs	Outputs
Security Records Console	Lets you see the current legal status of every crewmember, and even let's you change them. Notable for having two components within it: Security Records Data (Which will return the entire security database) and Security Records Set Status, which let you set the status of the individual who's table you set as the input. If you want to, for example, set a person named John Doe to arrest, grab a Select Query component, set the input as the security records, the Column Name as "name" and the Comparison Input as "John Doe", it'll return John Doe's table, which you can then input into the Security Records Set Status component, set the option to "Arrest", then trigger it. Each Person has their on table, by setting the "Column Name" value to "name" and the "Comparison Input" value to "John Doe", you're basically saying "Get me the table of the person who's value in the name field is John Doe." To see what Column Names are available, click the little "i" icon on the top right of the Security Records Data component.	Security Records Data Trigger (Signal) Security Records Set Status Arrest options (Option) Arrest Incarcerated Paroled Discharged None Targets (Table) Trigger (Signal)	Security Records Data Security Records (Table) Failed (Signal) Triggered (Signal) Security Records Set Status Set Status (String) Failed (Signal) Triggered (Signal)
Crew Monitoring Console	Lets you see the current health status of every crewmember that has turned on their suit sensors. Click on the little "i" button on the top right to see what values the table has. Use in conjunction with the "Select Query" component.	Trigger (Signal)	Crew Monitoring Data (Table) Triggered (Signal)
Teleporter Control Console	Lets you set, update and see the currently available teleporter targets.	New Target (String) Set Target (Signal) Update Targets (Signal)	Current Target (String) Possible Targets (List) Failed (Signal) Triggered (Signal)
Bluespace Launchpad Console	Lets you set a Bluespace Launchpad's offset, and lets you trigger its sending and retrieving capabilities.	Launchpad ID (Number) X offset (Number) Y offset (Number) Send (Signal) Retrieve (Signal)	Sent (Signal) Retrieved (Signal) Fail reason (String) Failed (Signal)
Air Alarms	Lets you change the air alarm's min and max gas, pressure and temperature values. Also lets you check the current pressure, temperature, and amount of a certain gas in the area the alarm is in.	Air alarm options (Option) Pressure Temperature Every single gas type. No way in hell I'm writing them all. Min 2 (Number) Min 1 (Number) Max 1 (Number) Max 2 (Number)	Pressure (Number) Temperature (Number) Chosen Gas Amount (Number)
Quantum Pad	Lets you set the target pad and notifies you when the teleportation failed.	Target Pad (Entity) Trigger (Signal)	On Fail (Signal)
Tram Controls	Let's you set the Tram's destination, and let's you send the tram to said destination. Also returns 1 or 0 if its travelling or not.	Destination (String) Send Tram (Signal)	Location (String) Travelling (Number)
Digital Valves	Let's you know whether its open or not, and let's you open and close it yourself.	Open (Signal) Close (Signal)	Is Open (Number) Opened (Signal) Closed (Signal)
Conveyor Switch	Let's you turn the conveyor on or off, and let's you see what direction it's going.	Trigger (Signal)	Conveyor Direction (Number)

Brain-Computer Interfaces

Ever wanted to have a computer in your head? Sure hope the answer is yes, because Brain-Computer Interfaces (Henceforth referred to as "BCI's") are here for that! To get working with BCI's you need two things: A Brain-Computer Interface Shell (Info about which you can see above, in the Shells section) and a Brain-Computer Inteface Manipulation Chamber, which is a machine. Both the shell and the machine circuit can be printed from the Component Printer.

How To Build

You build the Brain-Computer Interface Manipulation Chamber like any other machine, and you build the BCI shell by using a screwdriver on it, then inserting an Integrated Circuit in. It is recommended that you start coding when the BCI isn't on your brain yet, aka this exact moment. When the BCI is on your brain, you can no longer add components to it, you can still change connections and remove them though.

Components

BCI's are compatible with every single component, but it also has a bunch of exclusive components that only work with it. You can see these components on the "BCI Components" section of the Component Printer. These components are:

Name	Description	Inputs	Outputs
Bar Overlay	Shows a progress bar ontop of the entity object you set as its input.	Bar overlay options (Option) Vertical Horizontal Number (Number)	None
BCI Action	When the BCI shell is in your brain, shows a button in the top left of your screen. When you click on it, it triggers the Signal output. The icon input lets you change the icon.	Icon (Option) I am not listing them all, there are a lot Name (String)	Signal (Signal)
BCI Target Interceptor	When activated, the next time you click an entity, the output signal will be triggered and that entity will be set as the output.	Activate (Signal)	Triggered (Signal) Targeted Object (Entity)
Counter Overlay	Shows a three digit number on top of you. You can change the position of it by using the axis shift inputs, but it'll always follow you. You might even need to shift it since it doesn't show correctly when its on top of you for some reason.	Displayed Number (Number) Update Overlay (Signal) X-Axis Shift (Number) Y-Axis Shift (Number)	None
Object Overlay	Creates or deletes a sprite on top of the target entity. You can change what sprite it uses, and you can even shift its location by changing the axis shift options.	Object (Option) Corners (Blue/Red) Circle (Blue/Red) Small Corners (Blue/Red) Triangle (Blue/Red) Hud Mark (Blue/Red) Target (Entity) Create Overlay (Signal) Remove Overlay (Signal) X-Axis Shift (Number) Y-Axis Shift (Number)	None

How to put in your head

Grab your BCI shell and just

Нажатие левой кнопки мыши. Эффект не зависит от того, включён режим боя или нет.

use' it on the BCI Manipulation Chamber. After that just open it up by, again,

Нажатие левой кнопки мыши. Эффект не зависит от того, включён режим боя или нет.

using it and close the door once you're inside. Wait for a bit, and you should see an animation play out, once that animation is done, congrats! You're ready to do freaky brain stuff.

If you ever wanna remove a BCI Shell from your head, just walk back into a Manipulation Chamber and wait for a bit again. You'll see the animation play, and after its done you can just Right Click the manipulation chamber to get your shell back.

However, if all you want to do is recharge the power cell inside your BCI shell, you can just walk into a cyborg recharger.
