Devices & Containers

Devices

Devices are interactible objects which perform a function often related to the room they're in. Machines that are found in working order are immediately useable, while those that are "broken" can be repaired with a successful skill check. 

Nearly all devices have a chance to either shutdown or explode for minor damage if you fail any skill check on them. Other devices have far more disastrous effects, which you'll find under the "Failure" column.

Containers

These are objects that contain useful items, ingredients and equipment depending on what container they are. Containers are typically found in a room which serve a function related to them. All containers which you fail to open can "Jam", permanently locking up. Destroying a container does nothing.
