I don't think you can

That sucks. You should be able to pull out your boot knife or a knife in your pocket.

On that note, how do you break out of a Xeno? Is it just resist?

I thought you could cut your way out, but it is either spamming your arrow keys or resist.

I believe it was a thing and it just doesn't work now

[Bronimin]

I don't see the problem with it, it you are devoured then you were dead anyway and devouring is better QoL for the xeno than tacklespamming across the whole map.

Do overdose effects kick in when you reach or cross the overdose threshold? In other words, if you inject someone with 30 units of Tricord, does that count as overdose yet, or not?

OD will happen if you cross threshold. Just think, it would be somewhat dumb to use such numbers as 29u,19u,14u pills. That's it.

How do you "lock onto" people? I've seen it done a few times, where some circle appears on a person, but I don't see a button for that...

It's the aim mode. You can either hit the giant "Fire" button on the right side of the screen or you can right click your weapon and do "Lower Aim" instead. It's mostly an RP fluff, since the normal way of shooting is always better.

Are synths allowed/expected to enforce marine law? I know they have perfect understanding of the law and can't break it, but can command order them to arrest and brig someone as though they were an MP? Are they expected to do that on their own initiative if they witness a serious violation and there are no MPs present?

Synths are not allowed to carry out the role of an MP much like the command staff. They are allowed to report crimes to the MPs but cannot actually perform arrests. If there are no MPs on they are to Ahelp the situation and wait for an Admins/Mods assistance, again, similar to how a no MP situation is handled by an SO/XO/CO

Fingerprints - how do they work?

I know that you can use the evidence scanner to potentially get some fingerprints from people and then you can match them by the fingerprint hash. However, I don't know how you're supposed to match partial fingerprints? Or what a fingerprint card is? Or how do you take survivors' fingerprints? What else is there to fingerprints?

I really wouldn't like to find it out myself,so i am asking here, do gasmasks protect you from facehuggers ?

[x31stOverlord]

No.

[Papa_Pollard]

On the note of gasmasks do they have any protection to xenos gas attacks?

[Gnorse]

I assume you're talking about boiler gas.
If so, then yes. They completely nullify the effects of neurotoxin gas and drastically lower the effect of acid gas.

[Papa_Pollard]

Alright thanks I was always wondering if it was worth bringing a gasmask

[Retrokinesis]

When making an ID card from scratch, what do you have to set so it avoids triggering mines and turrets? Just having one with a name and job doesn't seem to be enough.

I can vouch they're shit against acid. Tried it already... not good results.

To stop them triggering mines etc. It needs go have Almayer Identification assigned to it. Down where you can assign access it should be on the top right of the list.

Donations are currently closed and have been for quite some time. If and when they open again there will likely be an announcement made on the announcement thread and discord

[ThePiachu]

Where do you find Large General Pouches? I had a few people ask for them in requisitions, but couldn't find them anywhere...

Left-side vendor in that req backroom. SLs also spawn with one.
