==Repairing Broken APC==

[[File:TGMC APC Exposed Wires.png|64px]]

A broken APC is usually a result of xenos slashing it and cutting all the wires.

*[[File:TGMC_Wirecutters.png|64px|link=https://tgstation13.org/wiki/File:TGMC_Wirecutters.png]] Mend all of the wires (Make sure to wear insulated gloves unless you don't mind getting shocked).
*[[File:TGMC_Screwdriver.png|64px|link=https://tgstation13.org/wiki/File:TGMC_Screwdriver.png]] Screwdriver the APC to close the cover so that it doesn't get cut in one slash.<br />

== Repairing/Relocating APC==

===Deconstruction===
In order to relocate/repair a completely destroyed APC ([[File:TGMC APC Broken.png|64px]]) you will need to deconstruct it.

*[[File:TGMC_Screwdriver.png|64px|link=https://tgstation13.org/wiki/File:TGMC_Screwdriver.png]] Screwdriver the APC to unexpose the wires if they are exposed ([[File:TGMC APC Exposed Wires.png|64px]]), make sure the wires are mended first using wirecutters ([[File:TGMC_Wirecutters.png|64px|link=https://tgstation13.org/wiki/File:TGMC_Wirecutters.png]]). (Or '''just hit the APC with any tool to remove the cover if it's destroyed'''[[File:TGMC APC Broken.png|64px]])
*[[File:Crowbar.png|64px|link=https://tgstation13.org/wiki/File:Crowbar.png]](Only if the APC isn't destroyed): Unlock the cover by swiping your ID (or pulsing the right wire with a multitool if your ID doesn't have access) and disengaging the lock on the APC window, and use the crowbar on it to open the cover.
*[[File:TGMC_powercell.png|64px|link=https://tgstation13.org/wiki/File:TGMC_powercell.png]] Remove the power cell with an empty hand.
*[[File:Crowbar.png|64px|link=https://tgstation13.org/wiki/File:Crowbar.png]] Crowbar the floor tile underneath the APC to expose the terminal. (If it is not already exposed)
*[[File:TGMC_Wirecutters.png|64px|link=https://tgstation13.org/wiki/File:TGMC_Wirecutters.png]] Wire cut the APC to disconnect the terminal. (You will get 10 cable coil)
*[[File:TGMC_Screwdriver.png|64px|link=https://tgstation13.org/wiki/File:TGMC_Screwdriver.png]] Screwdriver the APC to loosen the power board.
*[[File:Crowbar.png|64px|link=https://tgstation13.org/wiki/File:Crowbar.png]] Crowbar the APC to remove the board. (You won't get a power control board if it's from a destroyed APC)
*[[File:TGMC_Blowtorch.gif|64px|link=https://tgstation13.org/wiki/File:TGMC_Blowtorch.gif]] Weld the APC to get 1 metal and deconstruct it ('''WARNING: Some areas can have another APC taking over if deconstructed''', preventing you from placing a new APC). Or click it with an APC frame (made with 2 metal) to replace and repair it.

=== Construction===
To construct a new APC you will need to:

*[[File:TGMC_Metal.png|64px]] Make an APC frame with 2 metal, dismantle surrounding tables (if any) using wrench if you do not have 2 metal.
* Attach APC frame to a wall (On a more strategic location ideally)
*[[File:Crowbar.png|64px|link=https://tgstation13.org/wiki/File:Crowbar.png]] (Optional) Crowbar the floor tile underneath the APC. (If it is not already exposed)
*[[File:TGMC_Cable_Coil.png|64px|link=https://tgstation13.org/wiki/File:TGMC_Cable_Coil.png]] (Optional) Use 10 Cable Coils on the APC to make a terminal. Connect the terminal to the colony's cable power grid if it's powered.
*[[File:TGMC_circuitboard.png|64px|link=https://tgstation13.org/wiki/File:TGMC_circuitboard.png]] Insert a Power Control Module (APC) Board. (You can also use the General Circuit Boards if you multitool it to turn it into a APC Board)
*[[File:TGMC_Screwdriver.png|64px|link=https://tgstation13.org/wiki/File:TGMC_Screwdriver.png]] Screwdriver the APC to secure the board.
*[[File:TGMC_powercell.png|64px|link=https://tgstation13.org/wiki/File:TGMC_powercell.png]] Insert power cell into APC, make sure it has charge.
*[[File:Crowbar.png|64px|link=https://tgstation13.org/wiki/File:Crowbar.png]] Crowbar the APC to close the cover. If left open, xenos can slash the APC to '''destroy the battery.'''
*Unlock the APC using an ID with access, or expose the wires and pulse the right wire using multitool if your ID does not have access.
*'''Turn the main breaker on''' it starts off by default.

===Replacing an APC power cell===
*Assuming the APC is undamaged, first unlock the APC if it is not already with an ID card with APC access.
*Access the interface and disable the cover lock.
*Crowbar open the cover.
*Remove the drained power cell (if there is one) with a free hand.
*Install a charged power cell.
*Crowbar the cover closed.
*(Optional) Lock the APC with the ID. The cover lock will automatically engage.
