Significantly updates the Engineering guidebook (more explicitly the Atmos section) to have a lot more relevant and useful information. Right now engineering has been getting update after update with no real change to the relevant guidebook entry. This has lead to a lot of out of date information and bad practices being prevalent in the guidebook, something that pains me to read.

# Atmos Tools
|
|
Atmospheric Technicians have the same core toolset as Engineers, but they also have access to two new tools, the Holofan Projector and the Gas Analyzer.

## Holofan Projector
|
|
The Holofan Projector is a tool that can project a barrier of hard-light which blocks air and gas flow, while still allowing people to pass through.

|
|
This is super useful for moving in between [textlink="firelock buffers" link="FireAndGasControl"] without leaking gas between rooms, as well a signifying to regular crew that a room may be unsafe for entry.
|
|
It can also be used for forming a temporary barrier to allow crew to quickly move between a spaced and unspaced area without risk of leaking air from other rooms.
|
|
|
|
It has an internal charge that will deplete with each use, but it can be recharged by taking out the power cell and inserting it into a cell charger or recharger.
|
|
|
|
Holofans that are placed adjacent to a [textlink="firelock" link="FireAndGasControl"] will deactivate the firelock lockout, allowing the firelock to be opened by hand.
|
|
|
|
## Gas Analyzer
|
|
The Gas Analyzer is a tool that can be used to analyze the gas composition of an exposed atmosphere, or any [textlink="atmospheric device" link="GasManipulation"] containing gas.

|
<GuideEntityEmbed Entity="StorageCanister" Caption=""/>

|

|
|
|
|
You can use the Gas Analyzer by clicking on a gas-containing [textlink="device" link="GasManipulation"], or by clicking on the air in the room.
|
|
|
|
When used, the gas analyzer will report on:
|
|
- The volume of the device measured (not the volume of the gas!)
|
|
- The total pressure of the gas, in kPa
|
|
- The temperature of the gas, in Kelvin (K) and Celsius (C)
|
|
- The precise composition of the gas in molar amounts, and as a percentage of the total gas volume
|
|
|
|
At the bottom of the UI, the gas analyzer will display a visual indication of the different [textlink="gasses" link="Gasses"] present in the composition, as well as their relative concentrations.
|
|
|
|
When the gas analyzer is analyzing binary and trinary [textlink="devices" link="GasManipulation"] (devices with two and three inputs/outputs), it will display the composition of each input/output separately. This is useful for troubleshooting gas [textlink="mixing and filtering" link="MixingAndFiltering"] setups.
