Skeleton shift and only the chef is on with two assistants in her belly?
Station is dark and people are scared of darkness?
You want to set the power but are afraid to get lost in maint when setting the solars?
You have absolutely no bloody idea what this "supermatter" Im talking about is?
You just want to get over it as quickly as possible so you can crawl up the butt of that purple lizard in the bar?
This guide is for you! It might seem a bit lengthy, but really it takes just ~15 minutes to complete the setup.
1. What do I need?
-An ID with engineering access.
Who would have thought, eh? Chief engineer, station engineer and atmospheric technician get those.-Optical Meson Scanners.
Wear this all the time to protect yourself from the hallucinations that the supermatter (I will call it SM from now) would give you otherwise. Those can be found in maintance, the emergency tool storage, or the engineering lockers.-A wrench.
You should spawn with one, check your toolbelt.2. Where do I go?
You need to get to engineering. From the arrivals shuttle, this is the path:
This is engineering, you can see the cables and pipes because this is taken from the map editor. Those arent visible in game like that.
1. Locker room, here you will find the mesons and some other basic equipment, below is the workshop where you can find all the needed tools. The white puddles in the workshop arent cum, thats how oil stains look in the map view.
2. Engineering Hard Storage. Here you will find the gas cans you will need to set the engine.
3. The engine room itself. You can ignore the room with the consoles, you dont need to do anything there.
4. The SMES room. Here the energy generated by the engine is stored and connected to the station power grid.
3. What do I do?
-3.1. Fill the plasma canisters.
Go to the Engineering Hard Storage (room 2 in the pic above).
-First push the blue canister away, you dont need it and it just gets in the way. You dont need the N2 canisters now, but you will need them later. For now go to the Tank Storage Unit
and dispense 6 plasma tanks 
. Yes, it's plasma, if you call it "phoron" I will knock your teeth off with a wrench.Now you need to fill those tanks with plasma. THIS IS THE MOST DANGEROUS PART AND THE EASIEST TO FUCK UP. If you happen to cause a leak, scroll to the bottom of this guide. But just do as I say and you will be fine. Pick up one tank, and place it into the Plasma canister
and click it to open the interface. This will show up.
0. Click this button to maximize the output pressure. You only need to do this the first time.
1. Make sure you inserted the plasma tank into the can and it actually shows up there (Under "Holding Tank Status" ). Click this button. A green background on this button means the valve is open.
2. Wait for this indicator to show 1013 kPa.
3. Click this button to close the valve, make sure the background on this button is green before proceeding.
4. Click this button to eject the filled tank.
Now insert the next tank and repeat until you filled them all.
-3.2. Set the collectors.
Once you fill up all the tanks, stuff them into your backpack and go to the engine room.
Put on the radiation suit and hood from the radiation suit closet. Then press one of the buttons at the end of the room (labeled as 2. on the pic), and then wrench all the 6 radiation collectors
down. Then click them with your empty hand to turn them on 
, and insert the plasma tanks into them.-3.3. Set the coolant.
Go to every pump
marked with a yellow circle on the pic, and make sure its turned on, and with an output pressure of 4500 kPa. Now... remember the N2 canisters 
in the engineering storage room? Go back for them, and drag both red canisters to the engine room. Then just wrench them into the port 
at the right side, labeled on the pic as 1. Wrench one first, wait until it shows a red blinking light, then unwrench it and wrench the second one. With that the coolant loop is set.-3.4. Set the SMESes
Go to the SMES room, and click one of them to open the interface:
1. Click dis.
2. And here.
3. And here, set it to ~75000.
4. Click here
Repeat for every SMES unit and you are done here.
-3.5. Fire up the darn thing already.
Alright, you did all of that and didn't kill yourself in the process, nor blew up anything in a spectacular manner? It wasn't that hard, right? Time for the last part. Go back to the engine room, and click that little button on the wall, labeled on the pic as 3. There are two buttons there, click the one on the left. That will open the shutters between the SM and the emitter. Now click the emitter with your empty hand, and fire 16 shots. The emitter pauses firing for few seconds every 4 shots, so counting is easy. Then click the emitter to turn it off, and close the shutter by pushing that button by the wall again.
Go back to the SMES room and double-check that all of them are outputting. Congratulations, you have secured a power source that doesnt need any kind of mainetance for the next 8 hours. You can go nom the cute atmos tech that has been slacking off all this time.
->OH GOD THE CORE IS ON FIRE WHATDOIDO HELP
Go to the engine room, and to the bottom right corner of the room, there is a small button on the wall. Push it. It will eject the SM into space. Congratulations for saving the station from your own stupidity. Now go set the solars.
I LEAKED THE PLASMA IN THE ENGI STORAGE OH MY SINGULOTH IM DYING
Stop. Don't panic. Dont exit the room. Dont cause sparks. Dont make a flame.
If you try to run out of the room, you will cause the plasma to spread, making it more difficult to clean, and you wont escape from it anyways because the gas will follow you gladly.
Uh... I forgot I had access to the door, and tried to hack it, it sparked and now everything's on fire and Im ded..... halp?
Welp, you dun goofed. You are deader than dead, even in a hardsuit. The raging fire will overheat and overpressurize the room, breaking the nearby canisters and adding even more pressure. This will take forever to scrub with the automatic pipe system, and you cant safely enter the room unless you have a firefighter ripley or something.
If you didnt get a pre-scan, I'm afraid you aren't getting cloned anytime soon...
