-To assemble an AME, start by wrenching down the controller on the far end of a HV wire. On most stations, there's catwalks to assist with this. From there, start putting down a 3x3 or larger square of AME parts in preparation for construction, making sure to maximize the number of "center" pieces that are surrounded on all 8 sides.

-# Atmospherics
-
-Atmospherics setups are a necessity for your long-term comfort but are generally undocumented, resulting in them being a bit tricky to set up. The following attempts to cover the basics.
-
-## Standard Mix
-Breathing pure O2 or pure N2 is generally bad for the health of your crew, and it is recommended to instead aim for a mix of [color=#a4885c]78% N2 and 22% O2 at 101.24kPa.[/color] It's recommended that your gas mixer setup be set to output at least 1000kPa for faster re-pressurization of rooms.
-<Box>
-<GuideEntityEmbed Entity="OxygenCanister"/>
-<GuideEntityEmbed Entity="NitrogenCanister"/>
-<GuideEntityEmbed Entity="AirCanister"/>
-</Box>
-Variations on this mix may be necessary for the long-term comfort of atypical crew, for example crew who require a plasma gas mix to survive. For atypical crew, it is recommended to try and give them their own personal space, isolated by either airlock or disposals section. Keep in mind both methods are leaky and you will need scrubbers on both sides of the lock to clean up any leaked gasses.
-<Box>
-<GuideEntityEmbed Entity="PlasmaCanister"/>
-<GuideEntityEmbed Entity="StorageCanister"/>
-</Box>
-## Vents and Scrubbers
-Vents and scrubbers are core atmospherics devices that fill and cleanse rooms, respectively. By default, they are configured for filling rooms to standard pressure (101.24kPa) and to remove all non-O2/N2 gasses from a room. They can be reconfigured from their default settings, allowing you to configure how they respond to various types of gasses or pressure levels. This can be done by interacting with an existing air alarm nearby, or installing and connecting them to a new one.
-
-<Box>
-<GuideEntityEmbed Entity="GasVentPump"/>
-<GuideEntityEmbed Entity="GasVentScrubber"/>
-</Box>
-During standard operation, if a vent detects that the outside environment is space, it will automatically cease operation until a minimum pressure is reached to avoid destruction of necessary gasses. This can be fixed by pressurizing the room up to that minimum pressure by refilling it with gas canister (potentially multiple, if the room is of significant size).
-
-Should you encounter a situation where scrubbers aren't cleaning a room fast enough, employ portable scrubbers by dragging them to the affected location and wrenching them down. They work much faster than typical scrubbers and can clean up a room quite quickly. Large spills may require you to employ multiple.

-# Gas mixes and Burn chambers
-In the event you finish all the tasks at hand, you can make some extra power or money by creating new chemical gasses.
-
-##Tritium
-Tritium is a clear, green gas that is highly flammable, radioactive, and combusts when in contact with oxygen making it very helpful when running the [color=#a4885c]TEG.[/color]
-It can be made by burning 1% Plasma and 96% or more Oxygen in the Burn Chamber. You can extract this gas through scrubbers.

-##Frezon
-Frezon is a bluish-green gas that is very complex and very dangerous. To obtain frezon, you must mix Tritium, Oxygen, and Nitrogen in a 70K room to start the reaction, as well as prevent the Tritium from combusting with the oxygen.

-It is critical to understand that a frezon leak can devastate the station, causing a wintery hell filled with itchy sweaters and cold burns. Frezon is very cold, and can freeze the station to death if even a few moles get out, so make sure that you lock your canisters or just move your Frezon straight into a storage room.

-## Spacing
-Space is arguably the easier of the two to handle.
-While it does render an area uninhabitable, it can be trivially solved by simply sealing the hole that resulted in the vacuum. After that, assuming distro vents and pipes have not been destroyed in some unfortunate accident, the room will slowly begin to repressurize.
-Be aware, that active spacings will slowly siphon the air out of the station's air reserves. If you find it impossible to fix structural damage due to some other hazard - make sure to limit the airflow to that room.

-## Fires
-Fires can be dealt with through a multitude of ways, but some of the most effective methods include:
- - Spacing the enflamed area if possible. This will destroy all of the gasses in the room, which may be a problem if you're already straining life support.
- - Dumping a Frezon canister into the enflamed area. This will ice over the flames and halt any ongoing reaction, provided you use enough Frezon. Additionally does not result in destruction of material, so you can simply scrub the room afterwards.

-## Ramping
-Contrary to what one might expect from a video game electrical simulation, power is not instantly provided upon request. Generators and batteries take time to ramp up to match the draw imposed on them, which leads to brownouts when there are large changes in current draw all at once, for example when batteries run out.
-
-## Installing power storage
-Substations are the most self-explanatory. Simply install the machine on top of an MV and HV cable, it will draw power from the HV cable to provide to MV.
-
-Installing APCs is similarly simple, except APCs are exclusively wallmounted machinery and cannot be installed on the floor. Make sure it has both MV and LV connections.
-
-Installing a SMES requires you construct a cable terminal to use as the input. The SMES will draw power from the terminal and send power out from underneath. The terminal will ensure that the HV input and HV output do not connect. Avoid connecting a SMES to itself, this will result in a short circuit which can result in power flickering or outages depending on severity.
-
-## APC breaking

-# Gravitational Singularity Engine
-
-The Gravitational Singularity Engine can yield infinite power, with no fueling required. It can also destroy the whole station with equal ease. It uses a Particle Accelerator to fire high energy particles at a Singularity Generator to form a singularity. The singularity then pulses radiation which is absorbed by Radiation Collectors.
-
-## Setting it up
-
-The Gravitational Singularity Engine requires 4 subsystems to work properly:
-
-## Gravitational singularity generator
-<Box>
-<GuideEntityEmbed Entity="SingularityGenerator"/>
-</Box>
-The generator should be anchored at the center of the containment area since this is where the singularity will appear at.
-
-## Containment field generators and emitters
-<Box>
-<GuideEntityEmbed Entity="Emitter"/>
-<GuideEntityEmbed Entity="ContainmentFieldGenerator"/>
-<GuideEntityEmbed Entity="ContainmentField"/>
-</Box>
-The emitters connect to MV cables and fire lasers as long as they have power and are turned on.
-Fire emitters at containment field generators to activate them.
-If two containment field generators are active, in range and in the same cardinal axis, a containment field will appear.
-The containment field will repell the singularity, keeping it from escaping, and yield a little bit of power every time anything bounces off of them.
-Emitter lasers and containment field can cause damage, avoid touching them when active.
-
-## Radiation collectors
-<Box>
-<GuideEntityEmbed Entity="RadiationCollector"/>
-<GuideEntityEmbed Entity="PlasmaTank"/>
-</Box>
-They connect to HV cables and generate power from nearby radiation sources when turned on.
-Radiation collectors require a tank full of gaseous plasma in order to operate.
-Continous radiation exposure will gradually consume the stored plasma, so replace depleted tanks with fresh ones to maintain a high power output.

-## Turing on the Gravitational Singularity Engine
-
-[color=#a4885c]Do not[/color] turn the PA on unless all other subsystems are working properly.
-
-Turn power on using the PA control computer. Set strength to an appropiate level. Currently the only appropriate level is [color=#f0684d]1[/color], anything above that will ensure that singularity grows too strong to handle.
-The higher the output stength is set on PA control computer, the bigger the singularity will be.
-
-The PA will now draw power from the power net and start firing particles at the Gravitational singularity generator.
-
-<Box>

-A singularity will soon appear at the position of the Gravitational singularity generator.
-<Box>
-<GuideEntityEmbed Entity="Singularity"/>
-</Box>
-
-If no particle is hitting the singularity generator, the singularity will start to slowly decay until it disappear.
-
-## Safety
-Singularity emits radiation around it, so always keep a distance. Consider getting radiation shielding gear beforehand. Seek medical attention if experiencing health issues.

-
-A singularity might move around, but the containment field will repel it.
-If a singularity escapes its containment field, often referred to as a "singuloose," it will attract and then consume everything in its way.
-
-In such circumstances, there is little to be done other than running in the opposite direction.
+ # Singularity / Tesla Engine
+
+ The Singularity Engine / Tesla Engine can yield [color=#a4885c]infinite power[/color], with no fueling required. It can also [color=red]destroy the whole station[/color] with equal ease. It uses a Particle Accelerator to fire high energy particles at a Singularity Generator to form a singularity or ball lightning.
+ The singularity then pulses radiation which is absorbed by Radiation Collectors, or the ball lightning then zaps nearby tesla coils and grounding rods to provide power.
+
+ # Setting it up
+
+ Both engines requires 4 subsystems to work properly; two are shared between both engines:
+
+ ## Containment field generators and Emitters
+ <Box>
+ <GuideEntityEmbed Entity="Emitter"/>
+ <GuideEntityEmbed Entity="ContainmentFieldGenerator"/>
+ <GuideEntityEmbed Entity="ContainmentField"/>
+ </Box>
+ The emitters connect to MV cables and fire lasers as long as they have power and are turned on.
+ Fire the emitters at enabled containment field generators to activate them.
+ If two containment field generators are active, in range and are in the same cardinal axis, a containment field will appear.
+ The containment field will repel the singularity or tesla, keeping it from escaping, and yield a little bit of power every time anything bounces off of them.
+
+ The emitter lasers and the containment fields can also cause damage and/or cause you to be sent flying into deep space; [color=#a4885c]avoid touching them[/color] when active.
+ It is recommended to [color=#a4885c]lock the emitters[/color] with [keybind="AltActivateItemInWorld"/], to prevent any break-in no-gooders from loosing the singularity or tesla by simply switching off the field.
+
+ Teslas can have significantly smaller containment fields than singularity containment fields; adjusting field size is recommended, as the tesla becomes easier to keep watch on in a simply 3x3 field setup.

+ The other two subsystems are unique to each other:
+
+ ## Gravitational singularity generator or Ball lightning generator
+ <Box>
+ <GuideEntityEmbed Entity="SingularityGenerator"/>
+ <GuideEntityEmbed Entity="TeslaGenerator"/>
+ </Box>
+ The generator should be anchored at the center of the containment area, since this is where the singularity/tesla should appear at.
+
+ ## Radiation collectors or Tesla coils
+ <Box>
+ <GuideEntityEmbed Entity="RadiationCollector"/>
+ <GuideEntityEmbed Entity="PlasmaTank"/>
+ </Box>
+ The radition collectors connect to HV cables and generate power from nearby radiation sources when turned on.
+ Radiation collectors require a tank full of gaseous plasma in order to operate.
+ Continous radiation exposure will gradually convert the stored plasma into tritium, so replace depleted plasma tanks with fresh ones regularly to maintain a high power output.
+
+ <Box>
+ <GuideEntityEmbed Entity="TeslaCoil"/>
+ <GuideEntityEmbed Entity="TeslaGroundingRod"/>
+ </Box>
+ The tesla coils connect to HV cables and provide a stream of power after being zapped by the ball lightning.
+ However, tesla coils usually do not fully absorb the lightning strike, and the grounding rods are required to prevent lighting from arcing to and obliterating nearby machines.
+ Do note that one grounding rod is not a foolproof solution; get [color=#a4885c]atleast 4 rods[/color] around the containment field to make it mathematically unlikely for the tesla to escape.
+ As the ball lightning zaps tesla coils, they will degrade from wear; make sure to [color=#a4885c]weld them[/color] every now and then to keep generating power.
+
+ ## Turing on the Engines
+
+ [color=red]Do not[/color] turn the PA on unless all the other subsystems are working properly and there is enough power to start the engine.
+
+ Turn power on using the PA control computer. Set the strength to an appropiate level. Currently the only appropriate level is [color=#f0684d]1[/color]; anything above that will ensure that singularity grows too strong to handle.
+ The higher the output stength is set on PA control computer, the bigger the singularity will be.
+
+ Currently, the output power does not affect the ball lightning, beyond giving the ball lightning extra orbs around it.
+
+ The PA will now draw power from the power net and start firing particles at the generators.

+ A singularity or ball lightning will soon appear at the position of the Gravitational singularity generator.
+ <Box>
+ <GuideEntityEmbed Entity="Singularity"/>
+ or
+ <GuideEntityEmbed Entity="TeslaEnergyBall"/>
+ </Box>
+
+ If no particles are hitting the singularity, the singularity will start to slowly decay until it disappears.
+ This is not the case for the tesla; feel free to disconnect the PA after the tesla has been set up.
+
+ ## Safety
+ The singularity emits a large amount of radiation around it, so always keep a distance from it. Consider getting [color=yellow]radiation shielding gear[/color] beforehand. Seek medical attention if you are experiencing health issues.

+
+ The singularity might move around, but the containment field will repel it.
+
+ The tesla creates large bolts of lightning around it, so make sure to wear insuls before approaching it. If you aren't, and it zaps you, pray that the ball lightning doesn't stunlock you and eventually send you into crit.

+ If a singularity or tesla escapes its containment field, often referred to as a "singuloose" or "tesloose" respectively, it will attract and then consume everything in its way, growing larger as it does so, or it will begin to obliterate every machine in its path, and shock all crew personnel.
+
+ In such circumstances, there is little to be done other than running in the opposite direction.

+ However, if science has happened to research [color=#D381C9]Portable Particle Decelerators[/color], or if cargo can order them in time, you may be able to stop the singularity from eating the whole station.
+ Good luck on the tesla, though; it is merely too powerful to recontain after breaching.

Note that the circulators are [color=#a4885c]directional[/color]: they will only let gas through one way. You can see this direction in-game by examining the circulator itself. A pressure difference is required across the input and output, so pumps are generally provided and must be turned on.
- There is no preference for which side must be hot or cold, there need only be a difference in temperature between them. The gases in the two "loops" are never mixed, only energy is exchanged between them. The hot side will cool down, the cold side will heat up.

## The Pipes
- There are 2 major pipenets to worry about here: The Hot Loop (where gas will be burnt for heat), and The Cold Loop (where circulated, heated waste gas will either be removed into space or cooled back down). Make sure that [bold]both pipenets do NOT mix[/bold], as only heat should be transferred between the two through the TEG.

# The Hot Loop
As I'm sure a wise person once said: the best way to make something hot is to light it on fire. Well, depending on context, that may not be very wise, but luckily your engineering department has just what's needed to do it wisely after all.
- As stated above, there are many different layouts one can follow to heat up (or cool down) gases; this part of the guide will cover 2 common methods one will often see for the hot loop when the TEG is setup: The Pipe Burn, and the Burn chamber.

Side note: Plasma fires burn relatively cool compared to, for example, Tritium fires. It may be viable to extract Tritium from an extraction setup (using a 97/3 ratio of O2/Plasma) and react it with Oxygen to get truly hellish temperatures for power. Although, this is just a recommendation; I'm not ya mum.
Also known as the naive method, this is generally discouraged when working for efficiency. However, if all you need is a smidge of power to run the station, and you don't feel like setting up the burn chamber, this method will do.

Most (if not all) pipe burns follow this general layout:
<Box>
</Box>
- The Gas input is pretty self-explanatory; this is where you will input the O2-Plasma mix to be burnt. A 2:1 (67/33) ratio of Oxygen to Plasma is recommended for the hottest burn.
- The High-pressure pump serves 2 purposes; first, it prevents the burn from backwashing into the supply pipe, which would be.. bad, for many reasons. Second, it maintains a positive pressure in the following pipe segment, which is important to allow the burn to continue, especially since hot gases expand.
- - The Pipe segment is where the burn actually occurs; to start it off, one can use a heater to increase the temperature up to the ignition temperature of Plasma. Afterwards, the reaction should be self-sustaining, so long as the Pressure and Moles supplied remains high enough. Be warned; if you wish to remove the heater, it will carry some of this superheated gas with it, transferring it to the next pipenet you connect it to. Best to space the gas through a space vent, if you must.
- - The Low-pressure pump (whose pressure should be [italics]slightly lower[/italics] than the input pump) prevents [italics]all[/italics] the gas from passing through the circulator, which could result in the loss of the Moles required to sustain a burn.

Note: Pressure pumps are used here as, while they pump on pressure (not flow-rate, which is comparatively faster), they are a bit easier to control when it comes to the limited Plasma supply on-station. However, the steps shown can be followed with volumetric pumps too.
Most (if not all) stations have the burn chamber separated from the main atmospherics block by a 1-wide spaced grid, presumably to prevent conduction. The chambers consist of 3(+1) important parts:
- The Air Injector/Passive Vent
- The Space Vent
- - The Radiator Loop
+ - The Scrubber Array
+
+ Here is one layer of an example setup: (pipes can and do need to be layered under the scrubbers below to connect them!)

- Most normal burn chambers don't come with Heat-Exchangers; instead, they have air scrubbers (and optionally, an air alarm) to help filter for Tritium, which is a highly reactive, hot-burning gas that can also be used to heat the TEG efficiently.
- However, this is a slightly more advanced setup than just burning plasma, as it needs 2 burn chambers instead of 1 (one for tritium production, one for burning said tritium), so remove the scrubbers and retrofit the burn chamber with a parallel array of heat-exchangers instead.
-
The air injector (or Passive Vent) injects air (or allows air to flow) into the burn chamber. Either should be supplemented with a pump before it, to keep pressures high.
- There is a notable difference between the passive vent and the air injector; the air injector can only keep injecting air up to 9MPa, which can be reached very easily with a good burn. Ideally, switch out the air injector for a passive vent connected to a volume pump.

+ The space vent (designated as a blast door to space on one side of the burn chamber) allows waste gases to be expelled and destroyed. Open this every now and then to keep the pressure under control, or to space excess input gas.

+ The scrubber array filters out all the burnt gasses and sends them through the TEG. Note that using default settings on the scrubbers is a bad idea, as valuable plasma will be filtered out too.
+ Instead, use a network configurator to connect all the scrubbers to a nearby air alarm, and set the air alarm's scrubber settings to scrub everything except Oxygen and Plasma, and to siphon air aswell. This ensures that as much heat as available can be collected and sent to the TEG.
- The radiator loop collects heat from the burnt gases and brings it to the TEG. To maximize efficiency, hook up the heat-exchangers [italics]in parallel to each other[/italics], with a pressure pump at max pressure after the array and a volumetric pump before the array.
- The pressure of the volumetric pump should be set to ( 200 / number of heat-exchangers ) L/s. For example, having 2 heat-exchangers would mean you should set the pressure to 100 L/s.
- Finally, fill the whole loop with (ideally) a high heat capacity gas, like Frezon or Plasma. (Yes, Frezon =/= Cold. Frezon has one of the highest heat capacities in the game; so long as it isn't reacting with Nitrogen, it can actually be heated and can store heat really well!)
+ Note that these are just two of many ways you can setup the hot loop; [color=#a4885c]feel free to mix and match setups as needed![/color] Volume pumps in replacement of pressure pumps, radiator loops for heat collection, or even a Pyroclastic anomaly to provide said heat! The stars are the limit!
# The Cold Loop
As with the Hot Loop, the Cold Loop must also be setup in order to operate the TEG. However, the Cold Loop is usually a lot more low-tech than the Hot Loop; in reality, the Cold Loop only has to be "relatively" cooler -- hey, room temperature is technically cooler than the surface of the sun, right?
- There are 3 main methods you will see used for the Cold Loop: The Water Cooler (see: Liltenhead's video on the TEG), the Coolant Array and the Freezer Loop.

## Coolant Array
- This is the default method for the Cold Loop you will see on a variety of stations. Being of moderate complexity and having no losses of any resource, this [italics]should[/italics] be the main method of cooling down the TEG. However, every station at the moment somehow has their heat exchangers hooked up wrong, reducing efficiency greatly. (Thanks a bunch, NT!)

- To use heat-exchangers properly, they must be setup in [italics]parallel[/italics], not in series (like what you see on most stations). A gas pump at max pressure should be placed after, and a volumetric pump before the heat-exchangers.
- The flow-rate of the volumetric pump should be set to ( 200 / number of heat-exchangers ) L/s.

Simply speaking, the Coolant Array consists of 3 major parts: An input connector port, a few pumps and the heat-exchanger array out in space. It can be setup like so:
- Connector Port: Use this to input a gas with high heat capacity; most of the time, Plasma or Frezon is used to do so, as they both have very high specific heat capacities (although most any gas will do). (Yes, Plasma =/= Hot. You can cool it down, and it acts as a really good heat exchange medium.)
- Input/Output Pumps: Used to make sure gas keeps flowing through both the Circulator and the Heat-Exchanger array. As the gas cools down and heats up (and as it flows through the Exchanger), pressure must be applied for it to keep flowing.
- - Heat-Exchanger: Basically, just a bunch of heat-exchanger pipes in space. Not much to say, besides the fact that it cools down the gas inside it. Make sure the heat-exchangers are placed on lattice, not plating! Otherwise, the heat-exchange efficiency will be greatly reduced, as the heat-exchangers aren't directly exposed to space below them.
