Suggest new chems!

[ThePiachu]

During the townhall, someone suggested that we add more chems into the game. I was thinking about that for a bit now, and would like to get your input as to what sort of chems we should add. No guarantee if and when that will be coming, but if you have some good suggestion, it just might make its way into the code one day...

[carlarc]

purge chem

Probably really hard to implement, but maybe some sort of "experimental painkiller" where it's pretty strong and lasts for a while, but you slowly take damage of some kind, such as toxin/brute etc. You can't combine it with bicard/kelo/tricord- its intended purpose is to keep marines upright so they can get to the dropship to evac. Given its nature, it could probably be used as a "You WILL evac because you're on the clock."

and add the phlogiston so we can make better fire granades

Bone fixing juice for the cryotube. Make it fix bones slowly, and other cool stuff.

larva venom, only unlocked with research or admin spawned, kills both the host and the larva

Maybe not a new chem but id like more surgery options to have to be used, Like if organs take so much damage you cant just trauma kit them you gotta actually replace the organ. maybe needing a chem to go along with it that allows the body to survive very short term with a dead organ

Edit: OH and a nightvision chem would be cool. maybe not full nightvision but extends light sources brightness while you have it.

I know on other servers you can survive with no organs (excluding the heart) with enough steady doses of epinephrine. A specific chem for holding bodies over without organs would be pretty neat though

OH I got one.
Can we make peri useful again?

[TreeCop]

Fire-proof chems. Reduces damage taken while on fire.

So I got a lot of things in mind, mostly from chems on other SS13 servers, that I think would be cool to add:

• Inacusiate (Cures deafness)
• Universal Enzyme (Need this for kitchen stuff)
• Nanoblood (From BayChem, 1 unit turns into 4 units of blood when injected, very low OD threshold)
• Haloperidol (Anti-psychotic chem that removes hallucinogenic effects and purges hallucinogenic drugs.)

Also, adding a chem heater I think would be a cool way to get some extra chems into play. Here's some ideas for that:

Heated chems

• Activated Charcoal (A purge chem that also causes vomit)
• Caramel (We have a kitchen now, so why not add more sweets)
• Calomel (Another purge chem possibility. If your health is above 20, large amounts of toxin damage is dealt.)

I'll probably get some more interesting and unique ideas later, when I'm not super tired after having been awake for 20 hours strait...

[Drevenshekel]

Ear fixing juice for curing deafness would be a god send

Just bone fixing medicine that causes massive pain in return. Also dangerous in other ways so it would be mostly for doctors.

Why would doctors need this? They're either in medbay, which means they can fix broken bones on a whim, or they're in their field hospital, which means they can fix broken bones on a whim as well. The only actual reason why someone would use this is if they're getting swarmed by patients, and you don't want to stuff your patients with pills that "causes massive pain in return" and is "also dangerous in other ways" even in that situation.

[Madventurer]

That's the tradeoff for it. I can see situations where it could be useful, and medics COULD use them, just very carefully.
And the tradeoffs would be necessary to just not make it automatic bone-fixer for field medics, no evac necessary without organ damage.

Nobody with a brain will use this when broken bone (on its own) can be easily held back with a splint to let the person keep on fighting. Medics won't risk throwing away more resources to deal with this chem's side effect, and doctor won't give a fuck about it at all and would rather just autodoc the dude.

If it gets to the point where you actually need to fix the broken bones for good (3+ splints), you'd be better off sending the dude up instead of letting him suffer for this chem.

[Madventurer]

All of those are fair points. Seems like it wouldn't be such a useful chem.

Peridaxon+ = Not in current stocks. Need to be produced by chemist. Repair all organs instead of just denying symptoms. Recipe : 1u peridaxon, 1u (INGREDIENT TO ORDER) (5u Phoron Catalyst)
QC+ = Not in current stocks. Need to be produced by chemist. Repair all IB instead of just denying symptoms. Recipe : 1u QC, 1u (INGREDIENT TO ORDER) (5u Phoron Catalyst)

Will allow to return to the old pre QC/Peri Nerf. Though, the current trades off proposed will prevent early round (unless very good and smooth Req/Medbay, which should then be a reward) and only acces to those meds during the round. It'll be possible to issue that to squad medics, but everything that is not issue at roundstart is way more difficult to be accessed by squad medics.

I think that getting a chem back for healing organ damage, would remove WAAAY too much work off medbay. Medbay is a lot more efficient now than back in the day of the old peri. It's not needed anymore. It would make medbay way too fast with the new surgery tables and the autodoc. And I pretty much think the same for QC. Medics also shouldn't be able to become drug surgeons. Also, imagine how boring it would be if doctors only had to do broken bones and unknown bodies?

HOWEVER I think that adding a chem, which requires some ingredients to be ordered from REQ is a fantastic idea!
