The Obstruction Field Disperser is a powerful tool used to destroy hazards on the overmap or perform remote actions on away sites. It is located on Deck 3, port side, in the fire control room.

== Operation ==

# Load a charge or a locker/crate into the obstruction field disperser material deconstructor through the delivery chute or the access airlock.
# Select an adjacent overmap tile using the OFD control console by setting the direction in which the OFD will fire.
#* Choosing no direction will result in the OFD firing at its current location.
# Set strength and range.
# If your piloting skill is at least Trained, use pre-calibration to save time.
# Calibrate the OFD.
# Open the OFD blast door.
# Make an announcement informing the ship of the imminent firing.
# Press fire.
# Assuming you calibrated properly, the OFD now will choose the best target on the selected overmap tile.
#* If there is an event, it will always try to destroy it, but will only succeed if the event is weak to the loaded charge.
#* Assuming the OFD found no events it will try to shoot at a ship on the tile.
#* Assuming the OFD found no ships it will try to shoot at a sector on the tile.
#* Assuming none of those were found, then there is no effect; the charge is wasted.
# Wait for the OFD to cool down.
# Repeat as needed.
# To access the obstruction field disperser itself, enable the gas pump leading from the grey pipe to the blue pipe to repressurize the chamber.

== Charge types and their effects on ships and sectors ==

* '''Fire (FR1-ENFER)''': Creates a non-atmos compliant fire in an area lasting up to 20 seconds.
* '''EMP (EM2-QUASAR)''': Emps an area.
* '''Mining (MN3-BERGBAU)''': Mines out instantly a large area, and hurts mobs in its way. Everything else is unaffected.
* '''Explosive (XP4-INDARRA)''': Causes a remote explosion. It's relatively weak (5x5) even on maximum settings.
* '''Crate/locker''' aka '''droppod (HERMES)''': Sends the locker/crate to the chosen tile. Gibs all mobs inside, and hurts atoms on the target tile. Everything else is unaffected.

== Calibration ==
Each time a new target is selected the OFD will generate four calibration numbers. All four slots must match up and be in order of those numbers. If a number is correct and is at a correct place it will raise accuracy by 25%. If it is correct, but the slot is not, it will raise accuracy by 17%.

== What NOT to do ==

* Shoot the OFD on cooldown. This will result in an explosion.
* Shoot while the blast door to space is locked. This will also result in an explosion.
* Shoot at the away team as a non-antag. (The chance of actually killing someone is marginal, still, hold fire while the away team is out.)
