How do you replace broken disposals pipes? They don't seem to be produced in the pipe dispenser, or from metal...
If you can't make them from the pipe dispenser you probably can't make them. The pipe dispenser can be weird though try messing around with it some more.

This one is for the mentors admins
When sending a fax, is it okay to put it on a folder or filing cabinet after sending? I know that burning it makes you lose it at least

As long as the physical fax remains whole, we can read it. So hiding it in a folder in a box in a xeno, is fine.

The Flash gun thing - last I checked you couldn't holster it. Is that intentional? It would be nice to be walking around with that thing as a CMO at times...

It can't be holstered as it technically isn't a gun. It does however fit in most storage spaces. If I'm not mistaken it can fit in your lab coat pretty handily.

You can't use throw like items anymore. You have to use the fling ability which will fling the marine ahead of you, kind of like a farther head it with a stun (I think).

Not really a quick question, but from time to time my BYOND bugs out and all trials to connect to CM fail for 2-3 days and then all of a sudden I can connect... and during the time I can't connect all other servers work fine. Anyone else has had this problem?

Why do people hate LZ2 deployments so much? What's wrong with them? Is it a tactical disadvantage somehow?

LZ2 deployment never bothers anyone, it's LZ2 FOB that does it, since you're basically giving up the DS control console (which is at LZ1, for DS1) for free, so xeno can take it up whenever they want.

Also most LZ2 are not really mapped to be a FOB, so you kinda have this half FOB that can't actually take any decent siege from xeno unless you invest a whole lot of resources into it.

They are the only ones on the Almayer, a few may be found on some maps in certain locations though, if you can convince the marines to get one back for you.

Can any member of the ERT pilot their shuttle? Also, when is it okay for the ERT to run back to their shuttle?

Fairly certain PMCs can evac with the Liason. Death squads can also evac if the SD is activated. (Not too sure on the DS one)

How do you stack crates inside other crates and move them all at once? I've seen several CTs/ROs doing it and it looks like it would be so much faster than moving them all individually.

Open all the crates, place them on the same tile as one another and then throw an item at the pile repeatedly until you reach your destination.

Oxy for surgery - how much do you dose, do you inject it with a syringe, a hypospray, or give it as a pill? How quickly does it metabolise?

Speaking of which - what is the rough time for those various drug delivery mechanisms to start working?

I usually use a mixture of 15u Oxy - 15u Tramadol combined in a pill (so 30u of both in total). A pill bottle means I can do Oxy surgeries on a maximum of 16 patients before I have to reload.

I don't know the exact number, but I do believe every method starts working almost instantly, maybe a one second delay at most, though they can't be detected immediately by the HF2 analyzer though.

Bringing people from the brink of death - I remember someone mentioning that you can treat people that just died to get them up to the state they can be defibrillated. It it possible? How do you do it?

It's a combination of pills, kits, and constant defibbing. Good pills, full coverage with kits, and many charges on your defibrillator will be extremely helpful and could bring some really extreme case back to life. If you're talking about OD cases, it's Sleeper -> all the stuff above. If it's heavy damage to the organ, pray that a doctor is near to fix their organs up for you to defib.

But you are wasting a lot of resources on just one dude, and it might not even work out after you've done all these things, so every doctor/medic has a threshold of damage where they just say fuck it and leave the patient to die. For me, it's >250

Sterilizine - do you just spray it on the patients, or can you also make them ingest it for it to work? How long does the effect last? Can you just spray everyone waiting in medbay before surgery, or should it be applied just before the surgery? Do clothes block it?

It acts as washing your hands if you spray yourself. Spraying a patient increases surgery success chance. While it is classified as a medicine it doesn't do anything when injested. Spraying the marines would sterilize their wounds, and if I recall correctly, clean their clothes. Their clothes do not change the sterilization.

Do not resuscitate - Occurs when the player has disconnected or joined as a xeno/pred. Best just leave them be and move on.
