Power stations never recharge (you don't need them anyway).

Once your energy usage rate drops to 0, the message stays on-screen.

Energy is never consumed, though you still get the 'Energy usage now _' message when you enable hardware.

Some buttons/switches (such as light switches and elevator panels) still work, but buttons that do things such as raise/lower floors and ceilings will cause an infinitely long sound effect to play while the surface in question stays in place.

Doors make sound when activated, but don't actually open/close (though you can move right through them anyway).

Enemies don't move around, and nothing is animated except for cycling palettes and rotating 3D models (cameras).If playing on Mission difficulty 3, the time limit stops counting down.It's extremely easy to get stuck outside of the map doing this, so watch your step. You can move through anything solid, including walls.However, the default can be changed by opening CDSHOCK.EXE in a hex editor and changing the byte at offset 0x1643E8 from 01 to 00 (this assumes you're playing the CD-ROM version). Changing it in CYB.CFG isn't normally possible, since the game deliberately ignores the value in the config file if it's set to zero. This is controlled by the config file variable 'time_passes', which has a default value of 1.

System Shock has a 'free movement' mode which allows you to essentially stop time and move around the level without any of that pesky physics or collision detection getting in the way.
