If you don't have a multi tool, you just need to practice on an unimportant door cutting wires until the test light turns off or the door bolts. Remember which wire is which, and you only need to cut the power wire (which turned the test light off) to crowbar open doors.

[Absolute Niro]

Note that you may or may not die from experimenting on doors while not wearing insulated gloves, especially if the door is in a high-voltage area. The engine handles the power of the entire station so accidentally cutting an electrified wire there will probably roast you.

Okay, so:
You will need a screwdriver, crowbar, and wirecutters/preferably multitool. And a door, of course.

First, use the screwdriver on the door to open the panel with the wires.

Second, take out your wire-operating tool.

Now, there are two wires of interest: one that's obligatory, that being the 'Test Light' one, and the other, optional, is the Bolts one.

You will want to pulse/cut and mend wires until you can find the one that causes the Test Light to be off. If you haven't fried yourself, mission accomplished, just use a crowbar on the door to open it.

Now, if you used the wirecutters and the Bolts fell down, you dun goofed. You will have to wait until they get back up, or find a multitool and pulse the wire you used.

There is also a supah seekrit technique: aside from the other two, get a Remote Signaling Device if you have the Signaler on your PDA (Scientists, for example, have it).

 Set a non-default code/frequency on the RSD, screw the door open, attach signaller, go to PDA, send the proper code on the proper frequency. This way you cannot get zapped (I think), and you can experiment with the wires AND, if you find the right wires, you can leave the RSD there to gain remote control over the bolts/open at will if you have the crowbar, for respective wires.

Seekrit trick 2: drink a shitload of Kelotane, then get zapped to your heart's content without any damage.

[Rakonas]

I'm 99% sure you can still get shocked unless you wait ~60 seconds between signalling the door and switching the signaller to the next wire. Other than that, it's very useful, especially at bolting airlocks to trap people.

I approve of this, if only to give the chemist a job beyond making blood-mercury pills and dropping them in the hallway.

I will test that out as soon as I get the chance.

Wow.

I'm going to be out of town for the weekend.  Aklyon, Freshman, Electronics, and ShoesandHats(Aardvark in game) are currently admins, so bug one of them if things get stuck.

Awesome stuff

To add to the addition: no, budget insulated gloves are not the same, and may in fact get you shocked.


From completely unrelated stuff, stungloves are hilarious.

Epic round! Deathsquad nuked the station, I was the only person from SS13 that survived!

[Aklyon]

Aliens vs Death commandos:
Technically the aliens win if the commandos have to nuke themselves to succeed, right?
THere might be a larva hidden somewhere in the asteroid.

[Karlito]

The commandos got away (Except Bravo, I'm not sure where he went).

[Aklyon]

The commandos got away (Except Bravo, I'm not sure where he went).

If you don't know where he is, he's on the station.
So I was partially right.

(That, and I wasn't directly interfering in Electronics' side. I could've blown up all the shuttles if I felt like making it terrible for the commandos)
