The Engineer is a playable Job.

Glue, duct tape and your nerve are the only things keeping the crew alive.

Description

Engineers have above-average construction and mechanic skills, but fixing complex mechanical devices is still usually out of their skill set. They are competent at fixing electrical devices however, and are the ones to turn to when the power grid starts failing.

Responsibilities

Starting Skills

Skills that an Engineer starts with:


Starting Equipment

All Engineers start with the same equipment:

The Engineer has 2 loadouts, each with one of the Engineer's Uniforms:
Loadout #1

Loadout#2

Talents

Engineers Talents are very varied, they enable them to maintain the Sub better and quicker, and unlock them many recipes for advanced items.

The Weapons Engineer Specialization makes them the armorer of the team. It enables them to convert depleted Fuel Rods of any kind into Depleted Fuel which they can then use to fabricate various ammunition, tools or nuclear weapons, and ends with a recipe for the powerful Rapid Fissile Accelerator which uses Fuel Rods as ammo and deals huge amounts of damage and radiation sickness.

The Electrician Specialization focuses on making electrical maintenance much easier and quicker. It also makes the Engineer much more profficient at defending both themself and the Sub as a consequence of unlocking a recipe for the Arc Emitter which is easily capable of stunning whole swarms of Creatures both from inside of the sub, and while fighting outside.

The Physicist Specialization is defined mostly by a recipe for the Volatile Fulgurium Fuel Rods which have an astounding durability but emit lots of radiation, thankfully it also unlocks a recipe for the PUCS with a 90% Radiation Sickness resistance, which makes handling them much easier. It also greatly increases their offensive capabilities with Crowbars.
