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 This has lead to a lot of out of date information and bad practices being prevalent in the guidebook, something that pains me to read.

# Expanding and Repairing Stations
|
|
In Space Station 14, it is common for players to want to expand the station, or repair holes left by meteors or other damage.
|
|
|
|
## Lattice
|
|
Lattice is bare rodwork placed in empty space. It's used as a foundation for building and anchoring objects onto the station.

<GuideEntityEmbed Entity="SheetSteel" Caption=""/>

<GuideEntityEmbed Entity="PartRodMetal" Caption=""/>
|
|
</Box>
|
|
|
|
You can create lattice by placing rods on empty space using [color=yellow][bold][keybind="Use"][/bold][/color]. Remember you can craft steel sheets into rods using the construction menu.
|
|
|
|
Lattice cannot hold pressure, and all gasses will leak out into space through it.
|
|
|
|
You can use wirecutters to remove lattice by using [color=yellow][bold][keybind="Use"][/bold][/color] on them.
|
|
|
|
If the game is preventing you from placing lattice, it's because there is another separated grid too close to the grid you're trying to expand. You can use a wirecutter to remove the offending grid.
|
|
|
|
## Hull Tiles
|
|
Hull tiles are solid foundation for the station, where all the other parts of the station rest upon.

|
|
</Box>
|
|
|
|
Lattice can be made into hull tiles by using either steel or almost any type of floor tile on them by pressing [color=yellow][bold][keybind="Use"][/bold][/color].
|
|
This will convert the lattice into a hull tile, which can hold pressure and gasses.
|
|
|
|
It is advised to use floor tiles to replace lattice instead of steel sheets, as you can craft 4 floor tiles from a single steel sheet.
|
|
|
|
You can use an RCD to deconstruct hull tiles into lattice.
