What are some fun and ""productive"" things I can do with wiring?

[Cheesesteak.fan.1952]

I know of some of the really basic stuff like disconnecting cables from pumps and O2 generators and disabling alarms, but what else can I do to grief the sub?

[FourGreenFields]

Flood the ballast and lock the door when movement is detected inside.

Have the ballast tanks and/or engines invert input. Bonus points for having that activate/deactivate regularly.

Anything to do with detonators. Duh.

Wire up false alarms. Combine with system to overload the reactor.

System to open all doors at the same time.


Also, I'd just like to say that simply unwiring things is lame, and you should feel ashamed. That's just low-effort, and doesn't even have any humour to it.

That's why I'm asking for more wire tips to spice up my clowning aroound

Reactor SCRAM wired to a door they don't use often, such as ballast door.

Supposedly a funny prank is wiring stun grenades and detonators to things. Things like doors. Especially the door that leads to the bridge.

But what do I know, the only wiring I've ever done in game was connecting a relay to a junction box and then connecting that to few diving lockers.

I've heard it's even possible to wire up a dead mans switch or something like that and then hold the ship hostage, which sounds pretty cool. But no self respecting Europan submariner would ever do anything like that, right?

Reactor power -> junction power - > Reactor shutdown.

Oscillator ->multiplier -> Color component -> relays -> Disco Sub
A few memory modules ^

Completely innocent and yet, for some, completely maddening.

Putting a water detector and an alarm into the ballast, wherever the level you want it to rage against the ship. Everyone, especially the captain, will hate it.

[iforgotmeword]

dewire/lock the hole for the water to deflood so people have to open the doors

if you know what your doing you can rig the ballast tanks where they will show differt numbers (this is really dumb) aka the cap will see the the at 20% where in fact it is at 100%

also you can LOWER the hell out of the FPS with doors
(im not going to tell you know because GOD is REALLY BAD)

Ive been looking for a way to do this! I was going to hook the color components to velocity Y on the nav terminal.

On that note Ive been curious what wiring a not component into the line between velocity x and the engine would do. It isnt clear to me if not inverts a signal or if it simply a "for on turn off, for off turn on" deal.

NOT is a logic component. Any non-0 signal is "true", and leads to an output of 0. 0 will yield the output 1. NULL has either 1 or NULL as output, depending on the settings of the component.

You'll need a multiply component and a memory component (or anything else capable of outputting -1).

what's the memory for? I dont think there is any data there that needs storage.

Multiply multiplies the two inputs. One input would be the velocity_x from the navterminal - if you want to invert you need a -1 on the other input. The -1 you store in a mem (just manually). Or, as said, use something else that simply outputs -1.

ah multiply doesnt store a number to multiply an input by ok I see now.

The wifi component and terminal ( the "computer-like" object, not navigation terminal ) are two things you can mess around with quite a lot. For example, if the wifi component is linked to chat and is on the same channel, you can potentially transfer all kinds of data to the chat, creating massive spam, or you can send signals wirelessly to things that are also connected to another wifi component on the same channel, interacting with them at a safe distance, without wires that could identify you as the culprit. The terminal allows you to send signals that can produce all kinds of effects if the receiving end is programmed for it. The signal component is probably the simplest to interact with, you just need to type the correct input that the component is waiting for. You can also simply write things in it - most people don't see to check out what's written on them most of the time. It's quite safe to plot a mutiny by using a terminal because no one can hear you, nor can they identify you since what you type isn't linked to your name on the terminal's screen.

Wire a motion sensor next to the railgun to have it fire. Guaranteed to give people a spook and start accusing people inside.
