Introduction
While surfing different guides, I found a list of things you need to know about a map. And decided, that it would be cool to create full list of info about map THE SKELD. Using this info, you will be able to better catch impostors and better pretend as impostor. Lets go!
Map
Lets start with the simplest - map of the area
People spawn in cafeteria around the table with button for emergency meetings
One step tasks
When you finish one of these tasks, task bar moves. Now moving to task themselves:

Swipe card
Task type: Common

Where: In admin

How long: 2-3 seconds, but sometimes it takes longer because people fail to complete it on the first try

Animation: No





Start reactor.
Task type: Long

Where: In reactor.

How long: ~16 seconds, but if you make a mistake, you should start over.

Animation: No











Unlock Manifolds. In reactor. Takes around 7 seconds but if you make a mistake, you should start over. No animation














Clean O2 filter. In O2. Takes around 6-8 seconds. No animation.




















Submit scan. In medbay. Takes exactly 10 seconds. You can see an animation of the first picture




Prime shields. In shields. Takes 2-3 seconds. After you complete this task, shields on photo start glowing (if they weren't glowing before that)










Calibrate distributor. In electrical. In best case scenario takes around 4 seconds but may take much more because this task is difficult. No animation



























Clear asteroids. In weapons. Takes around 12 seconds. Animation is, these guns are shooting

Stabilize steering. In navigation. Takes around 2 seconds, really easy task. No animation














Chart course. In navigation. Takes 4-6 seconds. No animation
Several steps tasks
Task bar moves only when THE LAST STEP of task is completed

Download (upload) data. First step may be in on of there rooms: cafeteria, weapons, navigation, communications, electrical. Second (and last) step in in admin room. Downloading and uploading takes from 9 to 12 seconds. No animation











Empty garbage/Empty chute. First step in cafeteria or O2. Second (and last) step in storage. Takes 2-4 seconds. Animation is on the first picture







Fuel engines. First and third step in storage. Second step in upper engine. Fourth (and last) step in lower engine. Takes 4 seconds. No animation.









Divert power. First step in electrical. Second (and last) step in one of there rooms: security, o2, communications, upper and lower engines, navigation, shields, weapons (BUT NOT IN REACTOR). Takes 1-2 seconds. No animation


Align engine output. One step in upper engine and the other one in lower engine. Takes 2 seconds. No animation











Inspect sample. In medbay. Each first and second step take around 2 seconds, but you also have to wait 60 seconds between steps. No animation









Fix wiring. Consists of 3 steps in these rooms: electrical, storage, admin, navigation, cafeteria, security. They always go in this order, for example you will never fix wiring in storage after fixing it in admin. Takes around 5 seconds (but some people manage to do it faster). No animation
Monitoring panels
You can use these panels to monitor activity in the ship and you are likely to found some clues. There are two such panels in this map.

Admin panel. In admin room. With this, you can check how many people are there in each room.


NOTE 1. Corpses count as people as well, so if someone is staying for too long is some room, they are probably dead

NOTE 2. Impostors hiding in vents count as people as well, so if someone disappears in one room and someone appears in another room at the same moment, you can be 99% sure that this is venting.

Security cams. In security. When someone (except ghosts) is using cams right now, all cams are blinking red. Here you can see which camera shows which area:

Vents system
Impostor are able to use vents to hide, hunt or get to some place faster. Here is the map of all vents in The Skeld
Sabotages
To distract crew from doing tasks or avert attention from their crimes, Impostors are able to use various sabotages
Close doors. Close all doors in a room for 10 seconds (cooldown is 17 seconds after closing or 7 seconds after opening again). You can close several doors simultaneously and use right after using others sabotages (while they are on cooldown)


Oxygen depleted. If not fixed and no body reported in 30 seconds, crew will lose. To fix you have to enter 2 5-digit codes, one in admin, one in o2







Reactor meltdown. If not fixed and no body reported in 30 seconds, crew will lose. To fix you have to press and hold two hand readers in reactor at the same time. One hand reader is on top and one is on bottom of reactor







Lights out. Until fixed, crew's vision will be 5 times worse (you are nearly blind). To fix you have to turn on switches. This panel is same for everyone, so you may interfere with other people who fix this sabotage (or impostor who is making worse on purpose).








Comms sabotaged. Until fixed, you can't see your task list, task bar and use monitoring panels.


NOTE: During sabotages (except closed doors) you can't call an emergency meeting
Conclusion
I hope this guide has helped you or at least it was interesting to read and probably learn something new. If I have missed something or made a grammar or any other error, please let me now, we will finish this guide together

If this guide will have good rating and many positive comments, I will make the same guide for another maps. And create another guide with interesting tactics, strategies, tips and tricks

Thank you for attention!

ohoho, little did you know that I, GREEN, was at cams! I saw blue, red and orange come into medbay, and NO ONE WENT OUT OF THE ROOM! But, blue and red are alive, and orange is dead, meaning... THAT BLUE AND RED ARE BOTH IMPOSTORS!
