Step 11: Send person on their way
Give the patient one last check-over - make sure they don't still have any defects and that they have all their possessions. Ask them how they died, if they know, so that you can report any foul play over the radio. Once you're done, your patient is ready to go back to work! Chances are they do not have Medbay access, so you should let them out of Genetics and the Medbay main entrance.
If you've gotten this far, congratulations! You have mastered the art of cloning. Now, the real problem is how to resurrect yourself after that traitor had his way with you for cloning his target.

THE E.X.P.E.R.I-MENTOR
The Enhanced Xenobiological Period Extraction (and) Restoration Instructor is a machine designed to discover the secrets behind every item in existence.
With advanced technology, it can process 99.95% of items, and discover their uses and secrets.
The E.X.P.E.R.I-MENTOR is a Research apparatus that takes items, and through a process of elimination, it allows you to deduce new technological designs from them.
Due to the volatile nature of the E.X.P.E.R.I-MENTOR, there is a slight chance for malfunction, potentially causing irreparable damage to you or your environment.
However, upgrading the apparatus has proven to decrease the chances of undesirable, potentially life-threatening outcomes.
Please note that the E.X.P.E.R.I-MENTOR uses a state-of-the-art random generator, which has a larger entropy than the observable universe,
therefore it can generate wildly different results each day, therefore it is highly suggested to re-scan objects of interests frequently (e.g. each shift).
BASIC PROCESS
The usage of the E.X.P.E.R.I-MENTOR is quite simple:
- Find an item with a technological background
- Insert the item into the E.X.P.E.R.I-MENTOR
- Cycle through each processing method of the device.
- Stand back, even in case of a successful experiment, as the machine might produce undesired behaviour.
ADVANCED USAGE
The E.X.P.E.R.I-MENTOR has a variety of uses, beyond menial research work. The different results can be used to combat localised events, or even to get special items.
The E.X.P.E.R.I-MENTOR's OBLITERATE function has the added use of transferring the destroyed item's material into a linked lathe.
The IRRADIATE function can be used to transform items into other items, resulting in potential upgrades (or downgrades).
Users should remember to always wear appropriate protection when using the machine, because malfunction can occur at any moment!

Science For Dummies
So you want to further SCIENCE? Good man/woman/thing! However, SCIENCE is a complicated process even though it's quite easy. For the most part, it's a three step process:
- 1) Deconstruct items in the Destructive Analyzer to advance technology or improve the design.
- 2) Build unlocked designs in the Protolathe and Circuit Imprinter
- 3) Repeat!
Those are the basic steps to furthing science. What do you do science with, however? Well, you have four major tools: R&D Console, the Destructive Analyzer, the Protolathe, and the Circuit Imprinter.
The R&D Console
The R&D console is the cornerstone of any research lab. It is the central system from which the Destructive Analyzer, Protolathe, and Circuit Imprinter (your R&D systems) are controled. More on those systems in their own sections. On its own, the R&D console acts as a database for all your technological gains and new devices you discover. So long as the R&D console remains intact, you'll retain all that SCIENCE you've discovered. Protect it though, because if it gets damaged, you'll lose your data! In addition to this important purpose, the R&D console has a disk menu that lets you transfer data from the database onto disk or from the disk into the database. It also has a settings menu that lets you re-sync with nearby R&D devices (if they've become disconnected), lock the console from the unworthy, upload the data to all other R&D consoles in the network (all R&D consoles are networked by default), connect/disconnect from the network, and purge all data from the database.
NOTE: The technology list screen, circuit imprinter, and protolathe menus are accessible by non-scientists. This is intended to allow 'public' systems for the plebians to utilize some new devices.
Destructive Analyzer
This is the source of all technology. Whenever you put a handheld object in it, it analyzes it and determines what sort of technological advancements you can discover from it. If the technology of the object is equal or higher then your current knowledge, you can destroy the object to further those sciences. Some devices (notably, some devices made from the protolathe and circuit imprinter) aren't 100% reliable when you first discover them. If these devices break down, you can put them into the Destructive Analyzer and improve their reliability rather then futher science. If their reliability is high enough ,it'll also advance their related technologies.
Circuit Imprinter
This machine, along with the Protolathe, is used to actually produce new devices. The Circuit Imprinter takes glass and various chemicals (depends on the design) to produce new circuit boards to build new machines or computers. It can even be used to print AI modules.
Protolathe
This machine is an advanced form of the Autolathe that produce non-circuit designs. Unlike the Autolathe, it can use processed metal, glass, solid plasma, silver, gold, and diamonds along with a variety of chemicals to produce devices. The downside is that, again, not all devices you make are 100% reliable when you first discover them.
Reliability and You
As it has been stated, many devices when they're first discovered do not have a 100% reliablity when you first discover them. Instead, the reliablity of the device is dependent upon a base reliability value, whatever improvements to the design you've discovered through the Destructive Analyzer, and any advancements you've made with the device's source technologies. To be able to improve the reliability of a device, you have to use the device until it breaks beyond repair. Once that happens, you can analyze it in a Destructive Analyzer. Once the device reachs a certain minimum reliability, you'll gain tech advancements from it.
Building a Better Machine
Many machines produces from circuit boards and inserted into a machine frame require a variety of parts to construct. These are parts like capacitors, batteries, matter bins, and so forth. As your knowledge of science improves, more advanced versions are unlocked. If you use these parts when constructing something, its attributes may be improved. For example, if you use an advanced matter bin when constructing an autolathe (rather then a regular one), it'll hold more materials. Experiment around with stock parts of various qualities to see how they affect the end results! Be warned, however: Tier 3 and higher stock parts don't have 100% reliability and their low reliability may affect the reliability of the end machine.

Exosuit Fabricator
The Exosuit Fabricator is the most important piece of equipment related to cyborgs. It allows the construction of the core cyborg parts. Without these machines, cyborgs can not be built. It seems that they may also benefit from advanced research techniques.
Cyborg Recharging Station
This useful piece of equipment will suck power out of the power systems to charge a cyborg's power cell back up to full charge.
Robotics Control Console
This useful piece of equipment can be used to immobolize or destroy a cyborg. A word of warning: Cyborgs are expensive pieces of equipment, do not destroy them without good reason, or Nanotrasen may see to it that it never happens again.
When a cyborg is created it picks out of an array of modules to designate its purpose. There are 6 different cyborg modules.
Standard Cyborg
The standard cyborg module is a multi-purpose cyborg. It is equipped with various modules, allowing it to do basic tasks.
Engineering Cyborg
The Engineering cyborg module comes equipped with various engineering-related tools to help with engineering-related tasks.

Janitor Cyborg
The Janitor Cyborg module is equipped with various cleaning-facilitating devices.
Service Cyborg
The service cyborg module comes ready to serve your human needs. It includes various entertainment and refreshment devices. Occasionally some service cyborgs may have been referred to as "Bros"
Cyborg construction is a rather easy process, requiring a decent amount of metal and a few other supplies.
The required materials to make a cyborg are:
- Metal
- Two Flashes
- One Power Cell (Preferrably rated to 15000w)
- Some electrical wires
- One Human Brain
- One Man-Machine Interface
Once you have acquired the materials, you can start on construction of your cyborg.
To construct a cyborg, follow the steps below:
- Start the Exosuit Fabricators constructing all of the cyborg parts
- While the parts are being constructed, take your human brain, and place it inside the Man-Machine Interface
- Once you have a Robot Head, place your two flashes inside the eye sockets
- Once you have your Robot Chest, wire the Robot chest, then insert the power cell
- Attach all of the Robot parts to the Robot frame
- Insert the Man-Machine Interface (With the Brain inside) Into the Robot Body
- Congratulations! You have a new cyborg!
If you want to deconstruct a cyborg, say to remove its MMI without
It really is that easy! Good luck!
