Gertrude Fowler's Solar History - Earth - Human Origins

 * Despite retaining many local governments across the planet, Earth is unofficially under the rule of the enormous LYNX Corporation.
 * Nearly all traditional forms of farming and food production have been entirely replaced with vast algae and insect production.

Employee Benefits

 * Lynx is proud to pay employees with our proprietary, ultra-secure Lynx Tokens (LTs), for use at any Lynx Equipment store.
 * The air in your Lynx Hab Unit is replenished every two weeks for consistent freshness!

Facility Information

 * Lynx provides a Supply Kiosk in every Salvage Bay, where all essential Shipbreaking supplies can be bought for a moderate fee.
 * The Processor is named after Eugene L. Processor, who invented the Furnace.
 * The Salvage Bay has been coated with a proprietary residue that resists cutting lasers. Please do not lick the Salvage Bay.
 * The Salvage Station primarily houses automated sorting and handling networks, EverWork regeneration facilities, and a very large battery.

Personal Growth

 * You can check on your progress towards your current Salvage Goals in the Pause Screen.

Salvage Hazards

 * Coolant leaks will flash-freeze objects, making them incredibly fragile.
 * Fire will spread quickly in areas with lots of flammable objects. If Coolant is on hand, it can be used to neutralize fire.
 * Ships can come with interiors in various states of pressurization. Cut wisely to avoid violent decompression.
 * While your suit can be upgraded to mitigate electrical damage, the human heart cannot be upgraded.

Salvageable Objects

 * Found a Data Drive? Analyze it in your Hab. LYNX rewards Tokens for the Data, which is then sold to marketing firms.

Ship Systems

 * Modern pipe networks have indicator lights running along the pipe to show whether the system is active or not.
 * Most areas inside a ship contain an Atmosphere Regulator, which can be used to safely cycle interior pressurization levels.
 * Reactors come in a variety of shapes and sizes, some more unstable than others.

Tools and Equipment

 * Fuel, O2, Patch Kits and Medkits can be purchased at the Supply Kiosk at the centre of the Salvage Bay.
 * Keep an eye on the heat gauge of your Cutter. Rapid overuse can cause damage to both the tool and operator.
 * Lynx advises against using the extremely high-powered SplitSaw to slice any manner of baked good.
 * Minerva-brand Medkits are able to repair any manner of physical injury.
 * Supplies such as Fuel, 02, Patch Kits and Medkits can sometimes be scavenged from ships.
 * Tethers are significantly more powerful than your Grapple, and can be combined to increase their strength.
 * The Jovian Safety commission has stated this design of the SFDC is the "safest, I guess".
 * The Scanner shows pressurization states inside the ship; use this to make sure your cut won't cause a violent decompression.
 * Upgrading the Stinger's Heat Capacity allows it to melt larger and denser objects.

AI

 * Fun fact: Control has rejected to take a Turing Test 400,000 times.

Ghost Ships

 * Fun fact: "Hauntings" are not covered under the LYNX Insurance plan.

Stickers

 * Fun fact: The first recorded "stickers" were recovered from Ed's Pizza Palace and portrayed a holographic alien.
