What's a good mix for the cryo tubes?

[ThePiachu]

Currently trying to figure out some good cocktail for the cryo tubes and I'm wondering - what's really a good mix?

As I understand, Clone+Cryo heal all damage, so don't really need Dermaline, Dex+ or Tricord. Bicaridine and Inaprovaline have some bonus for being in cryo together, so probably should toss those in. Alkysine and Imidazoline seem to be a good combo to round up the healing as well. What else should make its way in? Iron and Sugar for replenishing blood? Something else?

What do you think is a really good mix to put in the cryo tubes to get everyone healed up fast?

[Sulaboy]

Clonexadone Cryoxadone Imizaline Alkysine and Iron. Quick Clot also might save you some time. Some of the standard healing Chems in the mix could help with healing once the patient is ejected from the tube which might help.

In medbay you could get away with just Cryoxadone, and minimum work of clonexadone. All the other stuff is QoL. Imizaline and Alkyaine in the tubes isn't very useful because you could always issue as needed, and you could control dosage better if you use a syringe. Iron is alright, but you have a near infinite supply of O neg blood in medbay.

So I think the best thing you could do is mix a cryo mix of clonexadone and Cryoxadone. Anything else isn't exactly necessary or would be better issued outside the tube. The tube has a specific role of stabilizing critical marines, and the tube does t's job well even if you don't do anything fancy to it.

With the default 60u beakers? 50/50 cryox/clonex is easy to make and more than enough for most cases. I primarily use the tubes to stabilize people with massive trauma who won't live through surgery (including recent defibs) or to fix people with an annoying amount of damage in general.

Not every patient is going to need alky and imi and, if you have it on hand for the cryomix, then you have it on hand in pill form as well so you may as well not waste it. I like to drag the IV from the locker room out in front of the cryo tubes and have it ready to hook people up to when they pop out should they need it, though you could shove iron into the mix if you really wanted to.

Man, if you're going to do Cryomix, then you should do it right!

Gather your Materials.

1 Bluespace Beaker - Found in the Chem Lab on the table.

4 Large Beakers - 2 in the chem lab on the table, 1 in the grinder, 1 in the dialysis machine (sleeper) by south triage. Bring a 60u beaker (chem lab) to replace the large one in the sleeper. OR get together enough glass to fill an autolathe (below the DS1 landing pad) and print out another (ask Req when you've got time).

PRO-TIP: put the four large glass beakers into your backpack so that research doesn't come steal them.

1 Pen - Ask the CMO to lend you theirs, or head up to the break room and take it off the table.

2 of the starting Cryoxadone beakers (found in the medbay lobby).

You are going to make roughly 40 units of each medicine, and make it in such a way that it's easy to dispense into the four large beakers.

step 1: take the 2 cryoxadone beakers and dispense 10 cryoxadone into each large beaker. Making sure to empty one out completely. This will leave you with one beaker that has 20 cryoxadone

step 2: add 10 phoron (grind up at least 1 bar of phoron) to the beaker with 20 cryoxadone.

step 3: put that phoron cryoxadone beaker into the chem machine and add 20 sodium. this makes 8 phoron and 40 clonexadone.

step 4: remove the 8 phoron from the beaker via the pill machine (save it or don't)

step 5: add 10 clonexadone to each large beaker. (each beaker will say they contain 20 units)

step 6: take the bluespace beaker and add 80 dylovene (from the wey-yu vendor)

step 7: put the bluespace beaker into the chem machine and add 20 chlorine 20 nitrogen 20 carbon 20 hydrogen. This makes 40 Dylovene 40 alkysine 40 imidazoline. Add 30 of this mix to each large glass beaker.

PRO-TIP: there is a verb called Set-transfer-amount in the object tab. use it to change the amount moved with a single click to 30.

step 8: Take the bluespace beaker and add 20 Dylovene, 20 Innaprovaline (40 tricordrazine), and 60 Kelotane. put it into the chem machine and add 20 Oxygen 20 Phosphorus. This makes 40 Tricordrazine 40 Kelotane 60 Dermaline. Remove 20 dermaline via the pill machine. Add 30 of this mix to each large glass beaker.

step 9: take the bluespace beaker and add 40 Bicardine to it. move it to the chem machine and add 40 Iron 40 Sugar. Add 30 of this mix to each large glass beaker.

step 10: add 10 Dexaline to the bluespace beaker. move it to the chem machine and add 10 carbon 10 Iron. this makes 30 Dexaline Plus. add ONLY 5 of this to each large beaker. (Set-transfer-amount)

step 11: add 10 Peridaxon to the bluespace beaker (wey-yu vendor). add 1 Quick clot pill (10u) to the beaker, it will dissolve. add ONLY 5 of this to each large beaker. (Set-transfer-amount)

step 12: Name your concoction with the pen! Dr. Rocks Miracle Elixer is my favorite.

the final List:
10 Cryoxadone
10 Clonexadone
10 Tricordrazine
10 Kelotane
10 Dermaline
10 Dylovene
10 Alkysine
10 Imidazoline
10 Bicardine
10 Iron
10 Sugar
5 Dexaline Plus
2.5 Peridaxon
2.5 Quick-Clot

I too am a fan of Dr. Rock's Miracle Elixir and if you manage to create it without being asked to, you can color me impressed!

[Royal Griffon]

I wonder if anyone has ever put LSD in a cyro tube?

[CSolaris]

LSD in the cryotubes is a good way to get your head cracked by an MP and job banned by an admin Mikey lol

[Royal Griffon]

It's just something to think about you know? Like what if, should ahelp about testing it sometime lmao

Well expect a Bwoink if you put something bad in there. Admins/Moderators get a notification when something 'different' gets put into the cryotube. (forgot a single unit of phoron in the BS beaker when making oxycodone. it got divided out four ways.)

But as to what would happen with the LSD? most likely the patient wouldn't even notice it was there. the knockout effect may last beyond the LSD (depending on metabolization rates). if you've got Dylovene in the mix, any toxin damage done will already be treated.

[Royal Griffon]

Ah okay

[Bronimin]

There's not much point putting peridaxon and quick clot in the cryo tubes because the tubes already suppress bleeding and organ damage. A 50/50 cyro/clonex mix is honestly as good as you need, trying to put a million different healing chemicals in there is probably a waste of time.

The tiny amount I put in there means there's some tiny amount of QC and Peri still in the patients system AFTER they leave the tube. (the 2.5 of each does mean that you won't OD a patient with some already in them.)

the other benefit of the million different healing chemicals is that it works when warm and that it's much much faster.
