Редактирование: Singularity and Tesla engines (раздел)

=== Turning off the Engine ===

Occasionally, bad stuff happens. In fact, most of the time, bad stuff happens. Sometimes it is necessary to deactivate the engine as safely as possible because nobody can maintain it. Other times meteor showers and bombs endanger your containment machinery. Whatever the crisis, if you have followed the steps above it should be safe to simply turn the accelerator off. The engine will continue to generate power as the singularity starves and shrinks, so containment SHOULDN'T fail until the singularity is sufficiently small enough that it cannot move and pull stuff into it. However, the 1x1 baby singularity will take a long time to die completely, leaving it exposed to potential suicidals jumping into it, giving the singularity energy to expand again. (Cool fact: Engineers provide a singularity with a lot more energy than you'd expect).

Sometimes it's a good idea to charge the SMES quickly (using the optional techniques above) and then turn off the engine safely until you need power again.

If things have absolutely gone tits up, there's a rumor that the singularity will reduce in size by a few stages if it swallows a [[Bag of Holding]]. A full sized rampaging singularity would have to swallow two or more to be completely defeated.

And if things are '''really''' bad, you could always try sacrificing the [[Clown]] to it in a sacrificial ritual style event. This can either decrease the singularity size by a stage or two... or increase it by one or two stages. Your call. The clown will probably find their way into it without you doing anything anyways.
