This page is a comprehensive guide on the cryptographic sequencer item and the many purposes it can be used for.

The Cryptographic Sequencer

The Cryptographic Sequencer, also commonly referred to as the "EMAG", is an item that can be bought from a Syndicate Uplink for 8 Telecrystals. It is also included in the syndie kit that can be chosen from a Thief's toolbox.

The EMAG can store up to 3 charges, which regenerate every 90 seconds. Using a charge does not reset this timer, and it will always start from 90 seconds if all 3 charges are full.

Uses

Access

Doors

An EMAG can be used on any door, which will cause it to bolt itself open until an Station Engineer comes to fix it. If the EMAG is used on a bolted or unpowered door, the door will not open, and a charge will not be consumed.

Lockers

Similarly to doors, an EMAG can be used to unlock any locker on the station. You can close the locker back up, but you can't re-lock it without the corresponding access.

Other

APCs, Gas Canisters, and Crates can have their access requirements removed with an EMAG. In the case of APCs, this causes their screen to change to a distinctive dark blue, with the lights on the side flashing red. As with all other access changes, these cannot be re-locked.

Silicons

Cyborgs

An EMAG can be used on a Cyborg in order to change their laws. This will cause them to be forced to work with you. For more info about the changed laws, check out the page on Cyborgs. This will only work if the cyborg's panel is unlocked and opened.

Medibots

Using an EMAG on a Medibot will cause them to inject patients with Chloral Hydrate instead of the Tricordrazine they usually inject, putting victims to sleep.

Dispensers

Anything that dispenses items can have an EMAG used on it, which will remove the access locks on the dispenser. Some dispensers will also have extra items added to their selection upon being emagged. These are listed below.

Lathes

Using an EMAG on an Autolathe or Protolathe will allow you to craft items that are normally reserved for the Security Techfab - mostly guns, ammo, and explosives. In order to craft an item, the corresponding tech must still be researched. As always, the Autolathe can only print items that are unlocked by default, and the Protolathe can only print items unlocked through research.

Other Crafters
