	Multiple powered devices are hackable. Doors and vending machines are the most common to hack. The process of hacking starts with using a Screwdriver to open the Panel on the object. You can then use either a MultiTool or Wire-Cutter to tamper with the object. To cover your tracks, you can then close the Panel with a Screwdriver.

	~~Whenever~~ you ~~interact with~~ a wire 1 of ~~5 things~~ will ~~happen:~~		The following effects will happen depending on the type of object you are trying to manipulate:
	* '''~~Bolt~~ toggle'''		=== Airlocks ===
	The ~~door~~ bolts ~~lock~~ the door, making it un-toggleable until unbolted, meaning you can keep a door open or shut.		As previously mentioned, there are six wires in a normal airlock. Two of them are POWR wires, one is a BOLT wire, one is a BLIT wire, one is a TIMR wire and one is a SAFE wire. The effects are as follows:
	* '''~~Blit~~ toggle'''		* '''POWR wire'''
			Both of the POWR wires provide power to the door. If one of them is snipped it will electrocute anyone who touches the door, and if both of them are snipped the door will lose power. If you pulse one of the two wires the door will also lose power for a moment of time.
			* '''BOLT toggle'''
			The BOLT wire bolts the door when triggered, making it un-toggleable until unbolted, meaning you can keep a door open or shut. If you cut this wire with wirecutters and mend them, it will not unbolt the door until you use a multitool on the bolt wire. Multitools can easily bolt and unbolt doors on command.

	~~If disabled the timer for opening / closing~~ the door ~~when~~ the ~~power~~ is on will ~~not activate~~. ~~The~~ door will ~~instead stay open / closed~~ but ~~people can~~ still ~~open / close manually (unlike if~~ the door ~~was bolted)~~.		The TIMR wire changes it's effects depending on what tool is used on it. By default, the door will close after a few seconds. If the wire is cut, it will immediately close as soon as it is able to. If pulsed, the door will have a shorter delay before it closes but still giving time to go through the door.
	* '''~~Safe toggle~~'''		* '''SAFE wire'''
	~~Safe is the function that keeps~~ the door ~~open when somebody is standing in it~~, ~~disabling it will allow~~ the ~~door~~ to ~~close on~~ a ~~person (~~only if the ~~timer~~ is ~~enabled)~~		The SAFE wire allows the door to close on unsuspecting crew, dealing 15 blunt damage and stunning the victim for three seconds. Just like the POWR wires pulsing this wire causes this effect to happen for a short period of time.
	* '''~~Power toggle~~'''		=== Vending machines ===
	~~Determines~~ whether ~~power is getting~~ to ~~the door~~. ~~If the door is unpowered~~, ~~you can open it with a crowbar unless~~ the ~~bolts are down~~.		Vending machines have five wires. One of them is a POWR wire, one is an ACC wire, one is a MNGR wire, one is a VEND wire, and one is a SPKR wire.
	* '''~~Access toggle~~'''		* '''POWR wire'''
	~~Determines whether staff need~~ access to the ~~device or not~~. ~~If you disable Access on~~ a ~~Vending Machine then anyone can~~ access items from it.		The POWR wire acts exactly like the airlock's two, but since there is only one snipping it will disable the vending machine and there is no way to cause it to electrocute crew-members.
			* '''ACC wire'''
			The ACC wire determines whether it abides by it's accesses (ex. a SecDrobe will not allow non-security personnel to order from it). Snipping or pulsing this wire bypasses this check, allowing anyone to access the machine regardless of access.
			* '''MNGR wire'''
			Snipping the MNGR wire allows access to all items in the vending machine (ex. a hacked YouTool gives access to a single multitool)
			* '''VEND wire'''
			Snipping the VEND wire causes all vended items to shoot out as if they were thrown. A mild nuisance, especially for the bartender and their glasses.
			* '''SPKR wire'''
			Snipping the SPKR wire stops all speech from the vending machine. This includes vending machines that were made ghost roles.
