Carnus Proctor, or Carrus the Xeno in game.

I take care of requisitions out of necessity. I don't want to. My heart belongs in medical, but circumstance forces my hand.

I paid money for this and haven't used it for anything so it goes here. Cope.

Guide to Requisitions

Duties of the Office

Welcome to the Requisitions department, home of infinite crates and not enough points. Your basic duties will entail keeping tabs on marine supply, filling orders, and sending down munitions, materials, and other necessary supplies. While running requisitions, your single most important duty is communication. Listen for orders, give notifications on progress, and alert marines when their crates are ready. Even if you can't keep up with demand, people feel better if they hear from you about it.

Essential Equipment

The only absolutely necessary equipment for requisitions activities is a wrench, to reset the supply pad in the even that it breaks.

For an optimal requisitions experience, you'll need some additional gear:

• The ASRS tablet, which will allow you to remotely operate the ASRS system and elevator.
• A hand labeler, to properly tag and identify the crates you send.
• A toolbelt, to store the necessary tools to do construction and maintenance on Requisitions systems. Wear it on your belt slot.
• A machete, to break open doors heads secure crates prior to sending. Wear it on your back.

You can get rid of the revolver, as you won't need it if the marines are doing their job with FOB security. You may want to keep your taser, for particularly troublesome marines.

The ASRS System

The ASRS console UI.

The requests tab, with a few orders.

The most important utility of requisitions is the ASRS system. In theory, the ship has a large automated storage bay in the lower decks, from which the ASRS system retrieves crates as requisitions points are spent. The control interface for the system is accessible via one of the ASRS consoles in requisitions, or by the ASRS tablet found in the RO's locker. From the interface, you can view, place, deny or accept orders for requisitions equipment.

To the left of the UI, you will see three categories. The first is primary used for control of the ASRS elevator. Use the Raise or Lower button to toggle the state of the elevator. After a short delay, it will arrive in either position. Prior to arriving, you can see any purchased orders by pressing the Awaiting Delivery button. These will remain as pending until the elevator brings them to the raised position.

The ASRS inventory, on the weapons tab.

The second section is for direct ASRS orders, placed by the ASRS consoles inside Requisitions or by the ASRS tablet. These aren't placed as requests, so you don't need to worry about accepting it as an order. Just press Purchase Cart to buy your queued items, or Clear Cart to quickly remove all items. The Previous Purchases tab will show all formerly purchased items, including those placed by requests or direct orders. To add items to this cart, select them from the tabs in the fourth section, the ASRS inventory. The last item is the export history tab, which shows most previously sold items.

The third section is for viewing placed, but not accepted or denied, orders. Whenever someone places an order from the ASRS requests console outside requisitions, it will be sent to the pending orders tab. You can view it by pressing the Requests button. From there, it's up to you to accept or deny orders individually. If you want to accept or deny all pending orders, and have the points to do so, you can press the Accept All or Deny All buttons in the top right. You can also review all previously accepted and denied orders from here. In the denied orders tab, there's a button to approve each order in the event you denied one by mistake.

The last section is the ASRS inventory. Each tab here shows contains crates of items related to their relevant category, identified by name. You can press the arrows on each item to add either one, or the maximum affordable number, of the item to your cart. These are sent to your pending order. Pressing the small dropdown arrow next to each items name will display the exact contents of the crate, as well as their quantity.

A list of items in the ASRS inventory can be found at the bottom of this document.

The ASRS Elevator

The elevator in its lowered position.

The elevator in its raised position.

The ASRS elevator works in two positions, the raised and lowered states.

While in the raised state, you can remove crates, load export items, and generally use the area safely. The system features a living biosign detector, so it won't take you down into the cargo bay itself. That's a good thing, there's probably no air down there. When the lift is clear of biosigns, pressing the Lower button will raise safety rails on all sides of the lift, preventing access. Note that any crates currently on the lift will not be refunded if sent down with the lift, so make sure any orders are removed before sending the elevator down.

While lowered, the system will automatically load any newly accepted orders, and bring them up the next time the lift is raised. Note that you cannot add new items to a raising lift, and will have to wait for the elevator to cycle back to its lowered position before you can receive your items.

Point Acquisition

You'll need an adequate supply of requisitions points before you can order anything. Points can be gained through two methods, passive or active.

Points will passively generate from roundstart based on the ships orbital level. The exact formula is 2*(Orbit Level/3) every 10 seconds, but due to lag and other calculations you'll likely only be getting 5 per minute. This number can be increased by elevating the ships orbital level, but note that this increases dropship transit time and CAS fire delay.

For active point generation, the marines will need to do some work. Points are actively gained through exports, by selling xenomorph corpses, research artifacts, valuable minerals, or factory sales.

Xenomorph corpses and mining are going to be your most lucrative point generation methods. For Xenomorph exports, the amount of points you get is based on the tier of the Xenomorph. In order:

• Surgically removed larva: 5 points
• Minion Xenomorphs: 5 points
• Larva: 15 points
• Tier 1 Xenomorphs: 30 points
• Tier 2 Xenomorphs: 40 points
• Tier 3 Xenomorphs: 50 points
• Tier 4 Xenomorphs: 100 points

These can be sold through three methods:

• Use of a fulton kit, which have three uses each and require open air to send.
• Use of an ASRS Bluespace Export pad, which must be purchased from Requisitions but can be infinitely used as long as they have power, can can operate indoors.
• Manual sale through placing the corpses on the ASRS elevator.

All methods produce the same number of points, but some are more costly in terms of time or resources than others.

Mining is another lucrative point generation method. The surface will have a number of mineral miners present, which engineers can repair and activate. These will slowly mine crates of ore, which can be sold by manually interacting with them. This process can be automated with autominer modules, or accelerated with overclock modules (Constructed by the Autolathe).

There are two miner types, Plasma and Platinum. Plasma generates 15 points every 120 seconds, and Platinum generates 30 points every 120 seconds.

Researchers on the field may find credit points while doing their work. The value of these coins is labeled on them, and they can be sold on the ASRS elevator for the relevant amount.

The last method of active point generation is factory sales. The Pizza factory kit costs 29 points to purchase, and each pizza from the set of 30 can be re-sold for one point each. This will net you one point, so it's very slow; though theoretically, you could make infinite points from it.

Supply Drops

The supply drop pad.

The supply drop system is used for sending crates directly to the surface from requisitions, subverting the need to send them via the Alamo or Tadpole.

To use the pad, simply load a crate onto the caution-marked area. Make sure that it's closed, otherwise the system will just send the crate and none of its contents.

The supply drop interface.

You can only send crates via the supply drop system. Lockers, coffins, and machinery like fuel tanks and bikes cannot be sent.

Supply drops can be sent to either beacons, which are semi-permanent and deployed on the ground, or antennas, which can be attached to marine helmets or radio backpacks, but only maintain a signal for 4 minutes. Press the button next to "Current beacon" to change which beacon you're sending to. The list will display all prior beacons, whether they're currently usable or not; try switching to one of them, and if you get a beacon location, it's viable. Otherwise, select a new beacon.

You can also set an X and Y offset to send crates to positions surrounding the beacon. Note that once an offset has been changed from 0, it cannot be reset back to 0.

If a crate is loaded onto the pad, but it isn't being detected, try pressing Update next to Supply pad status. If it's still not detected, the crate may be anchored to the ground. Try unwrenching it, and update again.

Once your crate is ready and the destination is set, press Launch Supply drop to fire. You'll have a roughly 30 second delay before you can send another crate.

The Factory

Requisitions features a modular factory system, orderable from the Factory section of the ASRS inventory. Although the system has a high startup cost, this will significantly decrease the cost of any items produced over their manually purchased variants. Here is a link to the cost-efficiency of manufactured items over their purchased equivalents.

The Factory system works by connecting the various production machines in sequence, with running conveyor belts between them. You can order the entire set of all factory machines from the ASRS Factory tab, and the conveyors can be produced from Requisitions autolathe.

A sample factory, with an Unboxer-Cutter-Reconstructor pathway. Finished items will be placed to the right of the reconstructor.

The conveyors will require belts and a switch. Print both from the autolathe, and use the switch in-hand to link the belts to it, before setting them on the ground to deploy. To rotate a belt, use a wrench on it. To remove a belt, use a crowbar.

Each item produced requires a different factory pathway, all of which start from the Industrial Unboxer. These pathways are described in the pamphlet in the Starter Kit, or in the production chart below.

Wrench the factory modules into place along the conveyor track to secure them. Rotate them to fit the direction of incoming resources; if a machine is facing north, it will be taking resources from its south side.

To produce an item, ensure that the machinery pathway is accurate, then order the necessary resupply kit from the Factory tab. Use the kit on the Unboxer to load it, then turn on the unboxer by clicking it. This will start the process.

The following chart lists all items currently producible by the Requisitions factory, as well as their associated resupply costs and machinery pathways.

Other Utilities

The Operational Supplies Vendor

All requisitions bays will have 4 vendors to help you with your job; The Operational Supplies Vendor, the Automated Weapons Vendor, the Surplus Clothing Vendor, and the Surplus Armor vendor. These can be used to acquire certain ASRS items for free, such as Jaeger armor or weapon attachments.

The most useful by far is the Operational Supplies Vendor. This contains a small amount of several specialist weapon ammunition types, several utility items such as plastic explosives, fultons and autominers, as well as vending 2 boxes of each standard grenade type and one box of most standard ammo types. It is recommended to empty the standard ammo and most of the utility items into one or two crates, and load them onto the Alamo for the marines to use.

The Automated Weapons Vendor can vend infinite free standard attachments, negating the need to order them from the ASRS system. Some attachments, like the Build-A-Sentry or Tactical Shotgun Stock still need to be ordered. The vendor can also provide free ammunition for standard weapons, so use this to restock if you get a request for non-specialized ammo.

Tips

• In the Surplus Clothing Vendor, some pouches come with items included. Most of the time this isn't very helpful, but examples like the Electronics Pouches are a good source of infinite, free high-capacity batteries.
• You can use the Ripley to carry crates, boxes, xenomorph corpses, and the lasgun cell charger. It's always faster to carry two items with the Ripley than to use the Push+Pull method, so use this if you have a lot to move.
• Always remember, communication is key. Feel free to call people out by name when their orders are up, check in on smartgunners if they need ammunition, or ask marines in general what sort of Requisitions equipment they'd like.
• You'll usually be expected to put attachments on specialist weapons before sending them down. For the Minigun, you should generally put a magnetic harness on it before sending; for the SADAR, use a mini-scope.
• Check the Automated Weapon Vendors specialized section if a T-29 Smartgunner is asking for ammunition. There are 4 free drums found there at roundstart, and the smartgunners may have forgotten to take them.

Guide to Research

H.E.L.I.O.S. говорит: "Welcome, doctor. Would you like to play a game... of chance?"

Introduction

The days of sitting in medbay begging for Xenomorph eggs are over. Thanks to a substantial grant from the heads at Nanotransen, as well as an increased need for mature xenomorph caste biosamples, the parameters of the researcher's operational guidelines have been redefined.

So, take up your hacksaw and trowel, because we've got analysis to do. Best to armor up; you'll hate to lose your head.

Materials and Methods

Your studies will revolve around two types of data, Xenomorph Samples and Subterranean Artifacts. Each is collected using a distinct tool; in the event you lose your set, there are 5 spares of each in the NanotrasenMed Plus vendor. These tools are:

The xenomorph analyzer, used for harvesting tissue samples from xenomorphs. Works on both living and dead xenos, but dead is significantly easier.

The subterranean extractor, used for drilling into groundside artifact sites.

Xenomorph Samples

To harvest a xenomorph sample, click on it with the analyser. Each specimen can only be sampled once, after which the collected samples are redundant and non-viable for research.

After clicking, the analyzer will yield a sample dependent on the tier of the harvest xenomorph, scaling from Tier 1 to Tier 4. Minions cannot be harvested for samples.

Collect these samples, and store them for future study.

Subterranean Artifacts

By reviewing your minimap, you'll see a number of marked positions throughout the colony. These are excavation points. Travel to them, and use your excavator near the zone.

This will generate artifact curreny. Similarly to xenomorph samples, these will be stored for future study. Not that artifact currency is not the same as reward currency; you can still sell your artifact money, but it's worth substantially less than any possible research rewards.

Sample Analysis

Once you have collected a xenomorph sample, it will require research before it can yield anything useful. This research is performed through the research console

The Research Console

Assuming the research console is empty, click on it with a collected sample to insert it. Then, interact with the console to open its interface, and press the Research button to begin researching. After a short delay, you'll receive a reward.

Results

The rewards for research are divided into four categories of rarity: Basic, Common, Uncommon, and Rare. When research is performed on a sample, you have a percentage chance to receive a reward on each rarity level. Higher tier xeno samples are rewarded with a higher chance of rare rewards, and rarer forms of research currency have a higher chance of rare rewards.

Note that the rewards for currency research and xenomorph research are independent of each other. For example, the cloaking implant is unique to the xenomorph research field, while the armblade is unique to the currency research field.

The various rarities and reward tiers are as follows:

Xenomorph Sample Rarity Tiers

	Tier 1	Tier 2	Tier 3	Tier 4
Basic	100%	100%	100%	100%
Common	15%	40%	50%	50%
Uncommon	7%	20%	40%	40%
Rare	1%	6%	10%	50%

Currency Sample Rarity Tiers

Basic	100
Common	30%
Uncommon	20%
Rare	5%

Note that the 100% chance of a basic item does not bean you will receive a basic item every time; This simply means that, in the event you fail to roll for a higher tier reward, you'll still receive a reward in the basic tier.

Xenomorph Research Rewards

Research Tier:	Items:
Basic	A generic research subsidy, worth 5 points. A generic research subsidy, worth 15 points.
Common	A generic research subsidy, worth 25 points.
Uncommon	A generic research subsidy, worth 25 points. A chemical implant able to accelerate blood recovery, recovering lost blood.
Rare	A generic research subsidy, worth 80 points. A chemical implant able to grant a latent subdermal cloaking ability, aiding in reconnaissance and general stealth.

Currency Research Rewards

Research Tier:	Items:
Basic	A generic research subsidy, worth 5 points. A generic research subsidy, worth 15 points.
Common	A generic research subsidy, worth 15 points. A generic research subsidy, worth 25 points.
Uncommon	A generic research subsidy, worth 25 points. A mechanical implant granting a mantis blade, a large folding blade capable of being stored within an arm.
Rare	A generic research subsidy, worth 80 points.

Discussion

• Many of your artifact sites will be distant from the marine lines. Bring ample defense weaponry or marine support before attempting to recover, or you may have to deal with an ambush.
• Marines will likely try to fulton or ASRS sell xenomorph corpses before you have a chance to claim a sample. It's up to you to ensure that you get the maximum value out of every available specimen.
• There's no need to return to the research lab every time you're full on samples. The locks on the research console are easily removable from its interface, so you can bring the entire apparatus to the surface with you.

Hive Structures

Through the Queenmother's Blessings menu, advanced construction castes have the ability to make powerful static structures which provide either defense, passive support, or offensive power to the hive. These require Psionic Points to construct, which can be gathered from dead marines.

Structure	Description	Psy Point Cost
Acid Turret	An independently targeting turret that fires highly caustic acid globs. Cannot be placed within 6 tiles of another turret, near shutters or fog.	100
Resin Turret	An independently targeting turret that fires sticky resin globs. Deals stamina damage to targets, as well as leaving sticky resin beneath their feet. Cannot be placed within 6 tiles of another turret, near shutters or fog.	50
Silo	A writhing spawning pod that slowly generates larva over time. Silos serve as anchor points for the xenomorph hivemind; without them, the network begins to collapse under strain. The hive will require a silo 15 minutes after the shutters drop, and will suffer an orphan hivemind failure if there is no silo for 5 minutes after this point.	800
Evolution Tower	A complex nerve tower that preemptively simulates evolution paths, preparing xenomorphs for their next evolution stage at an accelerated rate. Each tower increases the rate of evolution point gain by 1.25 times per tower, and can be repeated with multiple towers.	300
Maturity Tower	A complex biological tower that serves as a global growth enhancer, preparing xenomorphs for their next maturity stage at an accelerated rate. Each tower increases the rate of evolution point gain by 1.20 times per tower, and can be repeated with multiple towers.	300
Spawner	A spawning pod for the weak but numerous minion strains. The spawners will generate minions up to a point of half the total number of detected minds in local space. Each produces one minion every between 45 seconds and 3 minutes until this capacity is met.	600
King Pod	A spawning pod and psionic beacon for the King xenomorph. When constructed, takes a short period of psychic gathering before the king spawns. A random xenomorph is selected to take the mind of the king.	1800

Combat Robots

Overview

Combat synthetics are an additional species option for player characters, in a similar vein to the Vatborn species. These aren't to be confused with combat doids, which are a separate entity. In comparison with humans, combat robots have a number of unique benefits and drawbacks, allowing for unique gameplay over their meatbag counterparts.

Advantages

• Due to their metallic coating, Combat Robots cant be set on fire. They still, however, take damage from being in fire, so don't take this as an immunity to fire damage. Think of it like the Surt Jaeger module.
• Their synthetic nature means that combat robots don't feature a circulatory system or other organ systems, meaning they experience no harmful blood-related effects, including no effects from harmful chemical interactions, and suffer no effects from organ damage. Rare cases have been noted where the primary computational cortex of a combat robot has been damaged; refer to the autodoc to repair this unintended issue. Additionally, this lack of biological components means that xenomorph facehuggers will not be able to successfully latch on to a combat robot. Caution is still advised for non-larval variants.
• Similarly to the onboard Synthetic, combat robots can be revived from decapitation with a head replacement surgery. Due to the volatility of their power system, however, they still experience a permanent death timer.
• Thanks to the combat robots enhanced servomotors, their punches deal 10 damage, greater than that of the average man.
• Damage can be quickly repaired through the use of welding for brute damage, and cable coils for burn damage.

Disadvantages

• Due to their lack of organ system, combat robots cannot benefit from enhancement chemicals, such as synaptizine or oxycodone.
• The combat robot leg servomotors have a difficult time conveying their user past optimal speeds, meaning that sprinting speeds are inaccessible.
• Since the combat robots feature a customized chassis, they are unable to wear any marine armors. To alleviate this issue, combat robots are provided with their own 3 armor sets.

Armor

Notes

• The standard marine vendor will have a combat robot kit, which has a cable coil and welding tool for repairs.
• Wearing various styles of HUDs, such as Medical and Optical, will change your eye color accordingly.
• The combat robot naming convention is "verb+er-number", such as Runner-223, or Keeper-715.

Guide to Base Building

As an engineer, one of your primary duties will be to construct and maintain barricades at strategic locations. This guide will cover how to build near-impermeable fortresses, and not a pillow fort that crumbles at first contact.

Your Toolkit

Your options for defensive structures are broken up into two categories, being Barricades and Emplacements.
Refer to the Squad Engineer page for more information about the various types of barricades and emplacements available to you.

Barricades

These are the bread and butter of any defense point, preventing Xenomorphs from gaining ground while simultaneously allowing the marines to fire back from safety.

In summary, metal barricades are the default. They have the lowest health, but can be upgraded to combat a wide range of damage types.
Sandbags have more health than metal, but cannot be upgraded. They are also more difficult to repair, requiring sandbags filled with dirt or sand instead of the more ubiquitous metal.
Plasteel barricades have the most health and mobility, being the only type of barricade that can fold down acting as a door, but are also the most expensive. Use these only for areas of traversal, or under heavy attack.

As mentioned above, barricades can be upgraded. All barricades can be laced with barbed wire, increasing their health and dealing damage to Xenomorphs that attack them in melee, but simultaneously prevent marines from climbing over as well.

Metal barricades have a wide range of further exclusive upgrade, being Concussive, Ballistic, and Caustic. As these are exclusive, only one of these three can be applied at a time.

Concussive upgrades decrease damage from explosives, as well as reducing damage from the King's Gravity Crush ability.
Ballistic upgrades decrease damage from melee, as well as reducing damage from a Crusher charge.
Caustic upgrade decrease damage from acid, as well as preventing Xenomorphs from melting them with acidic bile.
