Salvage Specialist

- Difficulty: Medium
- Duties: Retrieve materials from wrecks, score some sick loot
- Supervisors: Head of Personnel, Quartermaster

- Guides: Salvage Specialist
As a Salvage Specialist, your job is to explore various wrecks from the space and retrieve any loot that you might find inside them. Use the Salvage Magnet to pull in a wreck for a limited amount of time and don't get killed by space carps or your own idiocy!
Salvage Magnet
This console is used for pulling in salvage wrecks, which you can scavenge for extra loot. The salvage magnet pulls wrecks towards the general area it is facing, but that doesn't do much to narrow down the area. If the magnet is facing the wrong way or is installed too deep inside the station, then you won't be able to pull anything in.
Finding the Salvage
The location of the salvage is unpredictable. As such, you'll need to rely on outside tools to help you locate it.
Some maps will start you with a File:Mass Scanner.pngMass Scanner already built. If you don't have one, make sure to remind Sci to get you a board.
While you're waiting for science to get bored of their fancy new chem dispensers, you'll have to use the visuals provided by the File:Shuttle Console.pngShuttle Console.
Your equipment
The most crucial items in your job are the salvage hardsuit, a breath mask and an oxygen tank - you will not survive in space without those (though you can try if you're brave).
There are two main ways to play a Salvage Specialist, and they both depend on the mobility gear you choose at the start.
1. Jetpack
Non-mini jetpacks can only be worn in the backpack slot. In exchange for the storage space of a backpack, jetpacks offer excellent mobility, allowing the Salvager to easily drag items back to the station. However, this lack of storage space makes it much more important to decide what you'll bring with you in your pockets.
2. Fire Extinguisher & Friends
If you're not using a Jetpack, you're likely combining multiple methods of transport. In exchange for keeping your backpack, you're limited to less-effective modes of transport. Fire extinguishers use liquid to propel you in the opposite direction of where you clicked. Throwing an item (even a single sheet split from a stack) also propels you.
How to use your equipment
Tips and tricks
- You can find a spare small oxygen tank inside your survival box. You're also able to keep it in your pocket, leaving your hands unoccupied.
- Character with Slime chosen as their race requires nitrogen to breathe in space.
- Holding down Control, and Right-Clicking on a tile near you while pulling something let's you move it around while standing still. In zero-gravity, you can fling objects such as crates/gas tanks twords the station by timing your release with Q accurately. This is not hard to figure out but is kinda tricky to pull off consistently.
