I love helping people. I’m really bad at combat so I always default to support roles. Medical, as thankless as it is, is a very rewarding experience for me. Nothing compares to relaxing while healing a guy all the way back up after he’s been absolutely demolished by four ravs (berserkers). Nothing also compares to making a awesome fob and watching it either stand the test of every caste in the game or watching it get completely destroyed because someone didn’t dial the mortar correctly. It’s also its own reward watching a private you gave pointers to at the start of the round magically survive the entire round and escape. God bless those privates.
In summary, I just really like helping people. I’ve also just wanted to do this for a long time and am now actually getting around to it.

A screenshot or transcript of your human and xeno playtimes:
My playtime has been wiped thrice in the eight years I’ve been here. (Surprisingly, engineering and medical code has NOT changed at all since). The playtimes listed aren’t accurate but are of what has happened since said wipes.
Hello, it is always nice to have more hands at deck, I will be giving you a few questions that are based off of your “strong” parts. Answer these to your best capabilities so we can all get a good idea. Answer the questions as if you were answering a mentor help.
I am very good at medical but I see other surgeons do surgery faster than me, am I doing something wrong? How can I be faster?
My patient ODed on the field and keeps dying when I revive, how do I fix them?
Hello how can I set up cameras and link them to a external camera network? I also want to set some up inside the Alamo and FOB, can I?
Hello I keep seeing blank empty spaces in the map, how do I fix this?
Hivey here I need tips and tricks to build on the front without dying please.
The players will need answers for their exact situation, so think of every possiblity and make your answers as long as you want.
You’re not doing anything wrong, everyone has their way of doing things. You could get a nurse to open up all the areas of the body with injuries so you can instantly get to work or ,if you’re by yourself, do one step for every area of the body that has a injury at once. They might also be using the Incision Management System which does the opening three steps in one go.
Administer Inaprovaline as that helps with ODs. If a doctor is groundside, get the person to them as they have a dialysis machine that can filter out the chemicals causing the OD, otherwise, medevac them up to medical where they have a dialysis option.
Guide to Construction - CM-SS13 - Wiki If you go to this page on the wiki, it should explain how to setup cameras as well as linking them. The dropships already have pre-installed cameras so it’s not needed, fob you can setup cameras around however.
If the blank empty spaces are black, that’d be the Fog Of War system, as you realistically can’t LOOK through walls. Just move around them to get a better view.
If the edges of your screen are black or otherwise, your eyes are damaged and you should seek a Corpsman.
If the blank empty spaces are really empty, reconnect and see if that fixes it.
Pick and choose your times to get into the line of fire to lay down structures or replacing structures, that’s a very big part of frontline building.
You could also wait till the marines are either not paying attention, or can’t see you to build or replace structures.
One way of frontline building is the strain Resin Whisperer. Resin Whisperer allows you to remotely build structures wherever resin is. If you’d like to inquire about Resin Whisperer itself, here’s the wiki link to overview. It’s a very quick read. Hivelord - CM-SS13 - Wiki
Bear in mind im not a WL holder, though I like to comment on mentor applications so im just gonna fire away if you want to answer these. Got some engineering questions for you, and to be frank the hours are really really low for most people, but they’re just numbers at the end so I wont but gloss over that.
There’s a door that wont open, its powered on, I’ve cut the ID scanner cable but it doesnt let me in, crowbars wont pry it open. How am I supposed to open it without breaking it?
How do I trap a door for xenomorphs with a signaller? (Pretty open ended question)
Hi, im playing survivor right now, im trying to use the van. It says the wheels are damaged, but when I try to repair the van with a welder it just repairs the “hull” of the van. How do I fix the wheels, becuase they arent getting repaired at all?
I am at an APC right now, its fully charged with a battery inside but when I try to turn the power on the environment, equipment, and lighting they immediately shut off. Whats going on here, and how do I fix it?
You’d have to cut the main power and secondary power, then you’re able to crowbar it open. If you want to reseal it, just mend the wires. Alternatively, you can cut or pulse the Motor Control wire, where you can just use the door freely and it will open.
Depends on what you mean by ‘trap’. You can attach a signaler on the same code and wave length, then put it on the bolt wire. Once you activate it, it should bolt all doors with signalers on that code and wave length.
If you mean trapping by shocking, then just attach the signaler to the ‘Ground Safety Wire’. Once pulsed, it will now shock things! (One time thing, pulsing it again will do nothing. To reverse, cut and mend the wire.)
Well, first you need to wrench off the wheels if you haven’t already. From there, you pull out the welder and weld the wheels itself.
This means the main power wire is messed up. Screwdriver the APC, then cut and mend the main power wire. Screwdriver the APC back up and flip 'er on.
Responses look good, though just a minor mistake on answer 3, you need to use a crowbar to take the wheels off, the wrench is part of the repair procsess.
Answer 1 I was going for was to pulse door bolts, since power is not a factor, when we consider that the ID scanner is cut, though it looks like I might have been not direct enough.
I’ve seen you on a few times and granted you have said you’ve been part of the community for 8 years, had your playtimes wiped 3 times I think to judge by the hours you have currently is not a good way to go by it,
so i’ll give you a +1,
Yo, gonna buzz you some questions, in your weak spots- answer them best you can.
Hi I keep trying to use my laser designator to call CAS in the caves but it keeps telling me ‘laser must be visible from orbit’ what does this mean?
Could I get some help? I’m playing CT and I’m new to playing cargo on this server, is there anything you could tell me about? like what should I do? Is there any tips you can tell me and where is my work station?
How do I make custom OT rockets?
What is a lesser drone?
Here’s some questions answer them and I’ll give feedback.
Since you are in caves, CAS is not able to do any fire missions there as, y’know, its in a cave. CAS and Mortar are only available when not under caves or metal roofs. You can check what’s above a tile by examining the tile.
Your main job is to supply marines with equipment, construction materials, ammo, and attachments. On round start you’re gonna want to man the front desk of REQ which is where marines get attachments for their guns, which is to the west. People often use shorthand for most attachments, if you don’t know the short hand just ask, don’t get too stressed about it.
The coloured pads to the north of Req are the Squads Supply Pads, each colour noting which squad. The first supply drop done is usually the FOB supply drop. Get together ammo boxes, the mortar, and building materials into a crate and put it ontop of the bravo pad. You can buy various things in the ASRS console near the front desk of Req, take a look.
I’d suggest buying ammo crates and metal crates. Frequently communicate with the people building the base on the ground and the specialists as they require very special ammo.
You can make them in the Armylathe. Just put the rocket warhead and tube together. Make sure theres two igniters in the warhead and 60u of methane in the rocket tube.
Lesser drones are ghost roles. You can become a tiny drone that has little plasma and EXTREMELY little health. You can build things. When you die you explode into acid which damages nearby marines. Lesser drones can spawn infinitely but are on a cooldown.
Cool, good answers, good explanation on the REQ one since it’s often where new players pop into, I’m happy you’ll be able to answer and help with what comes your way.
Going to give you a +1 here. While you have since last time play times were wiped(2020 iirc) are for roles like MP low, I am willing to give you a befit of the doubt as you stated you have been playing for 8 years and thus far have also answers the questions given to you well. If you have any questions feel free to DM me and reach out. Hope to see you on the mentor team!
So I’d like to finally get this one wrapped up here. One of my concerns is your recent playtime. Looking at your activity before December there basically is none for a very long stretch. SS13 as well as CM change a lot, it’s one of the reasons people keep playing them so I’m wondering if you’re #1 going to remain active and #2 are up to date with the game. One of the big ones too is I want mentors coming in to be knowledgeable on xeno gameplay because for a long time most mentors didn’t know shit about xenos which your current play times are a bit low but also spread some.
I am going to remain active. I don’t have a reason to not be active. I am up to date on the game currently. You’d be surprised how much hasn’t changed at all.
I have recently been playing more xeno (ravager evo line as well as drones evo line). Acid runner is still very enjoyable surprisingly.
Always funny when someone gives the “I’ve been around for a long time.” to me given I’ve played since 2015 but no need to continue “flexing” or anything from either side. I’m willing to give it a go, approved.
