This is an unordered list of basic concepts/interactions people meet when starting to play this game. [Work in progress]

OCC
OCC stands for "out of character". You can think of OCC communication channels as something like the games discord. Dont try to gain an advantage by using this channel (for example using it to ask to be revived) as that would be cheating.

Climbing on furniture
Click and drag your character onto something climbable (say a table). A short progress bar will run and then you will be on the target. Moving cancels the progress bar. Do note that you have to be close enough for it to work and that the hitbox could be slightly awkward.

Using furniture
Much like climbing, click and drag your character onto a useable piece of furniture (say a chair) and your character will sit on it. You can also do this to other players if they stand still. You can also enter the disposal units this way.

Eating/Drinking
Eating or drinking doesn't work if you are wearing a helmet/mask. If you need to eat something, either go to the bar/cook or just use one of the many vending machines around the station (they are free though have a limited inventory).

Dropping/Throwing items
Pressing Q will drop the currently held item to where your cursor is (this is rebind-able in the settings). Ctrl+Q will throw the currently held item towards your cursor. There are a number of special interactions around throwing objects. For example:
 * Throwing bottles will break them.
 * You can throw items into disposal units.

Walking
Holding shift makes you walk. This stops you from tripping over from puddles, banana peels etc. There is the notable exception of lube puddles that still make you fall over.

Sci/Sec/Med/...
These are simply shorthands for their respective departments/people. If someone wants to go to Med, they want to go to the medical department. If someone is Sec, they are an officer from the Security Department. So on and so forth.

Cuffs
People (usually security) might put cuffs on you. You will see this icon on your right hand bar: While cuffed you cant really interact with stuff. Clicking on the icon will start removing the cuffs. Progress bar is visible to others and fails if you are moved. It is also quite slow. Other people can remove cuffs from you much quicker (keys not required).

Healing
If you are hurt, go and ask medical for help. This might seem weird to new players but departments in this game aren't just "vending machines". The doctor will likely ask how you got hurt so they can give you the right type of medicine. This isn't purely roleplay, there are different damage types. Also medicine effects aren't immediate.

Oxygen Canisters/Masks
To use oxygen canisters you need to be wearing some sort of mark in your mask slot. (For example "breath mask"). You also need to have an oxygen canister in your hands or your pocket slots. You can toggle breathing using the canister using the action bar on the left. (if you have both a mask equipped and are holding a canister, a key-bind will automatically show up on it). Oxygen canisters run out and can be refilled. Also, only "emergency" oxygen canisters can go in your pocket slots (and have less capacity)
