[[File:Equipment-bios.png|framed|The BIOS terminal]]
The '''BIOS Terminal''' is a piece of equipment located in the '''[[Nexus]]'''. It allows the operator to modify {{NERON}}'s settings.
* It can only be accessed by the {{Title|NERON}}
* The user need not be clean to access it.
* Any crewmember can force access with the {{Item|Hacker Kit|16}} (or with {{Skill|Bypass}} for {{Character|Mush}}).
* Its parameters can be randomly scrambled by {{Skill|NERON Depression}}.

The following settings may be configured (with '''recommended''' settings being highlighted):

== Foodstuff Destruction ==
[[File:Item-ration-0.jpg|framed]]Determines whether perishable foods (including cooked rations, fruits, and coffee) are automatically destroyed during daychange.

◉ '''Yes''' ''(Default)''
 ⭘ '''No'''

It is usually best to turn this setting off to avoid destroying food.
* Food is vital and must be rationed to avoid {{Status|Starvation}}. Allowing expired rations to be destroyed is a waste.
* The {{Character|Mush}} cannot be sick! Thus, allowing characters to become ill from expired rations can determine whether or not they are human.

== CPU Priority ==
Allows the user to slightly improve the crew's efficiency in the selected area. (This setting may only be changed '''once per day'''.)

⭘ '''Projects''': increases efficiency by 1% (for example, from 18%-27% to 19%-28%).
 ⭘ '''Astronavigation''' : +1 zone is revealed per planet analysis.
 ⭘ '''Research''' : increases efficiency by 1% (for example, from 18%-27% to 19%-28%).
 ◉ '''None''' ''(Default)''

It is generally recommended to set the priority to [[Astrophysics|Astronavigation]], which makes scanning planets much more cost-effective. However, it may be worth changing this setting based on context:
* Even a 1% gain can save a significant amount of {{AP}} for larger projects/researches like the {{Project|Plasma Shield}} and the {{Research|Retro-Fungal Serum}}.
* Even for smaller projects/researches, saving {{AP}} can be beneficial for the crew (especially if you're trying to rush them out in a shorter amount of time).

== Crew Lock ==
[[File:Equipment-patrol-ship.png|framed]]Prevents the crew from partaking in:

⭘ '''Projects''': Only {{Skill|Designer}}s can access [[Nexus#NERON's Core|NERON's Core]] (and thus participate in [[Projects]]).
 ⭘ '''Research''': Only {{Skill|Biologist}}s and {{Skill|Medic}}s can access the [[Laboratory]] terminal (and thus participate in [[Researches]]).
 ◉ '''Piloting''' : Only {{Skill|Pilot}}s can take off in Patrollers, the Pasiphae, or the Icarus. ''(Default)''

Always keep this on '''Piloting''' so you don't interfere with research and project progression.
* If the ship lacks capable pilots, the {{Title|NERON}} can temporarily switch the lock. However, it should always be switched back to Piloting once hunters have been dealt with or expeditions have been launched.

== Vocoder Announcement ==
Allows the {{Title|NERON}} to speak as {{NERON}} in the text chat, accomplished by starting their message with <code>/neron</code> (in lowercase).

⭘ '''Yes'''
 ◉ '''No''' ''(Default)''

For the most part, this is used for role-play and can be used without issue. However, a crafty {{Character|Mush}} {{Title|Neron}} could use this to create false announcements and create confusion amongst the crew.

== Report Deaths ==
[[File:Sector-lost.png|framed]]When activated, {{NERON}} will automatically announce the death and cause of death of any crewmate.

◉ '''Yes'''
 ⭘ '''No'''

Always keep this on. However, a {{Character|Mush}} could disable this before a rampage to cause confusion amongst the crew.

== Inhibit ᴅᴍᴢ-ᴄᴏʀᴇᴘᴇᴀᴄᴇ ==
When enabled, '''humans''' are prevented from using {{Item|Grenade|16}}s. ({{Character|Mush}} may still use grenades without limits.)

When active, {{NERON}}'s speech is much more juvenile and incoherent. When deactivated, {{NERON}}'s messages become more intelligent, yet also more psychopathic (indicating that his moral and functional constraints have been removed).

◉ '''Yes''' ''(Default)''
 ⭘ '''No'''

This setting is generally left to the crew's discretion, based on how they want to RP NERON. However, it can be useful to turn it off if the crew needs to deal with a large number of concentrated {{Character|Mush}} using a grenade.

== Plasma Shield ==
[[File:Project-plasma-shield.png|right]]Enables or disables the {{Project|Plasma Shield}} (if completed).

⭘ '''Active'''
 ◉ '''Inactive''' ''(Default)''

There is no reason for the {{Title|NERON}} not to enable this as soon as possible, unless they wish to sabotage the crew.

== Magnetic Net ==
[[File:Project-magnetic-net.png|right]]Enables or disables the {{Project|Magnetic Net}} (if completed).

◉ '''Yes''' ''(Default)''
 ⭘ '''No'''

This should generally be enabled, allowing pilots to be returned to the ship without needing to land. However, it may be disabled if you wish to abandon someone who's outside the ship (and accept the loss of whatever ship they're in).
