Significantly updates the Engineering guidebook (more explicitly the Atmos section) to have a lot more relevant and useful information. Right now engineering has been getting update after update with no real change to the relevant guidebook entry. This has lead to a lot of out of date information and bad practices being prevalent in the guidebook, something that pains me to read.

# Spacing
|
|
Spacing is the most common form of atmospheric upset that can occur on the station.
|
|
|
|
While the damage that caused the spacing is often time-consuming to [textlink="fix" link="ExpandingRepairingStation"], the actual spacing problem can be quickly resolved by simply repressurizing the area.
|
|
|
|
Fixing spacing generally follows two simple steps:
|
|
|
|
1. Identify the area that has been spaced, and [textlink="seal the hole." link="ExpandingRepairingStation"]
|
|
|
|
- If you're having trouble finding the hole, you can carefully listen for the flow of air rushing by you, if air is currently leaking to space.
|
|
- Look for any holes underneath girders that may be hard to see.
|
|
|
|
2. Repressurize the area.
|
|
|
|
- [textlink="Air vents" link="AirVent"] enter pressure lockout when a room is spaced, so you'll need to override the vents to repressurize the area. You can do this by setting the connected [textlink="air alarm" link="AirAlarms"] to fill, or by using a screwdriver on a vent to manually override it temporarily.

|
|
|
## Things to Avoid
|
|
- Keep in mind that while you have an infinite supply of [textlink="mined gas" link="GasMiningAndStorage"], it is not quick enough to fill up multiple rooms at once. Setting [textlink="air alarms" link="AirAlarms"] to fill first [italic]before[/italic] fixing the root problem will often lead to wasted time and gas.
|
|
|
|
- Leaving [textlink="air alarms" link="AirAlarms"] on the Fill mode unsupervised may lead to overpressuring a room, which can potentially harm crew if it gets out of hand.
