Construction

Ripley APLU

The Ripley APLU (Autonomous Power Loading Unit) is a slow moving, decently protected mech. Generally, it can take down a Gygax because of the sheer power of the drill, but it does not make a good combat mech because it is slow and has no range. Excels in combat against xenomorphs, but can also be used against Spess carp invasions, blobs, Changelings, and for Revs (using it to breach high security areas) Expect Mining to constantly be bugging you to make one for them.

To make:

  • Build all of the Ripley parts using the Exosuit Fabricator.
  • Build a Hydraulic Clamp and Drill
  • Attach all of the parts to the Ripley chassis (Except the Clamp and Drill)
  • Wrench Wrench
  • Screwdriver Screwdriver
  • CableCoils Cable Coil
  • Wirecutters Wirecutters
  • Ripley Central Control Module (Bug R&D to research it or order from the Quartermaster)
  • Screwdriver Screwdriver
  • Ripley Peripherals Control Module (R&D or QM)
  • Screwdriver Screwdriver
  • 5 pieces of Metal
  • Wrench Wrench
  • Welder Welding Tool
  • 5 pieces of Plasteel
  • Wrench Wrench
  • Welder Welding Tool
  • Add the Hydraulic Clamp and Drill to the finished Ripley

The Ripley should be complete, to access it use your ID card on it. The codes on the system mean that you have to have access to those places on your ID to use the mech. Click finish, then right-click to enter.

Firefighter APLU

The fire fighter version has much more protection, especially against heat. Obviously designed for firefighting, it is all but the same as the normal Ripley, however much better protected. Most users tend to build this instead of the other one.

Phazon

The Phazon is the most advanced exosuit.

Phazons are extremely fast and versatile, but have weak armor compared to other combat exosuits.

Phasing function: Allows the exosuit to move through solid objects (but not people) at a large energy cost per step.

Rearrange microtool arrays function: Changes your melee damage type (fists are brute, torch is fire, toxic injector injects toxin).

This exosuit cannot be constructed and must be found through space exploration

Handling and Repairs

Unlocking Mechs

Problem: "Access denied" when trying to enter an exosuit.

To unlock an exosuit:

  • Unlock ID upload panel
  • Exit exosuit.
  • Use ID card/PDA on exosuit (may need to Wrench Wrench first).
  • Delete all key codes.
  • Now anybody can enter the exosuit.

Exosuit Repairs

Turn Maintenance Mode on (from the menu when you activate it with your ID), and then use a welder on the exosuit to repair it.

Exosuit Battery Replacement

  • Make sure the ID upload panel is closed.
  • Hit the exosuit with your ID card or PDA with ID inside.
  • Wrench Wrench
  • Crowbar
  • Screwdriver Screwdriver
  • Empty Hand to remove old battery
  • New Battery
  • Screwdriver Screwdriver
  • Crowbar
  • Wrench Wrench
  • ID Card
