i prefer keeping imp edits at the bottom of prototypes so its easier to group them up or see whats changed

| # Supermatter Engine | ||
|
|
||
| The supermatter engine is an incredibly dangerous, volatile, and radioactive source of power. Without proper management, the supermatter chamber will fill with fire, arcs of lightning will spark, and eventually, an explosion will destroy the entire engineering department. |

"Without careful management, the supermatter chamber will fill with fire, lightning will arc out, and, eventually, an explosion will obliterate Engineering."

also is supermatter a proper noun or nah

antimatter isnt, so im leaning on no

| But with proper care and handling, the supermatter can be an incredibly potent power source for the station. A basic setup will take care of most of the power load, but the supermatter crystal is affected strongly by gases in many different ways. |

second sentence feels like two entirely different concepts smooshed together.
"While a basic setup will take care of the station's typical power load, the supermatter crystal is affected strongly by gases in many different ways — both beneficial and harmful."
|
|
||
| Before stepping into the supermatter chamber, there are a few things to keep in mind to avert disaster and personal harm. | ||
|
|
||
| • Do not power the crystal before the cooling loop has been set up. Do not touch the crystal. Do not walk into the crystal. |

maybe color the second two sentences for emphasis
|
|
||
| To harness the radioactive potential of the crystal, radiations collectors are placed nearby. These connect to HV cables, generating power for the station. | ||
|
|
||
| Radiations collectors require a tank full of plasma gas to operate, which will need to be replaced every so often to maintain power output. |

Radiation collectors require a filled tank of plasma gas to operate, which will need to be replaced periodically to maintain power generation.

||
| ## Cooling Loop | ||
|
|
||
| At the most fundamental level, the supermatter crystal is kept stable with a loop of atmospheric pipes. The chamber is filled with safe, cold gas, whilst any harmful or unwanted byproducts are filtered out of the system. |
|
|
||
| To set up the cooling loop, anchor the nitrogen canisters to the input connector ports and enable the respective gas pumps. Follow the pipes, enabling gas pumps and filters as you go. | ||
|
|
||
| Be careful not to activate the gas pumps inside the interior chamber's airlocks before the full cooling loop is set up. A bypass gas pump is located outside the external airlock: use this to keep gas flowing as you work. |
|
|
||
| <GuideEntityEmbed Entity="GasAnalyzer"/> | ||
|
|
||
| Once the full cooling loop has been set up, double check with a gas analyzer to make sure the gas is not trapped at any point in the system. Disable the bypass gas pump by the airlocks, enable the interior gas pumps, and configure the air alarm. |
|
|
||
| <GuideEntityEmbed Entity="Emitter"/> | ||
|
|
||
| Once the cooling loop is fully set up and the radiation collectors are filled, the supermatter engine is ready to be started up. |

the supermatter engine is ready to start up.

i went with "start up" i hope you can forgive me

hivehum’s stale review
guidebook has been long finished. welcome to look over it again, though
|
i apologise to whoever reviews this. or you can merge without looking |
|
full disclosure im just gonna trust you on all these directories |
changes a LOT about the supermatter and the supermatter console. am i going to list it all? yes, actually, look at my todo. i'm not supplying videos or images or anything because i am fucking dying after spending however long on this
todo:
maybe todo:
Changelog
