Colour coding Pill bottles

[alekfenrir]

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary): Introduce that ability to mark Pill bottles visually. Either by allowing ways to mark pill bottles (their lids or the bottle itself) with colours, or when 'stock' ones are produced coming with some indicator similar to that of the auto injectors. Allows for faster and more accurate organisation of Medics carry space.

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole): Faster medic and doctor reactions to inventory management, meaning more up and around time for marines on the ground as they can be put back into the fight quickly, leading to more chances to do heroic feats or suffer horrible deaths. Medic QOL improvement, with a visual identification system the same as that of the auto injectors.

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc): Medic QOL. Its dirt simple for someone to get a coloured sharpie, some coloured tape, or even camo paint etc, to put visual indicators onto pill bottles. While they can be labelled with text, much like the auto injectors, the ability to tell at a glance what something is by default can save valuable time. Since currently you have to pull something form a bag, then read the label, put back the pill bottle and grab another one looking for the one you wanted if you don't have it layered several steps deep in specific med cases and other storage items. All of those take time to open and drill down layers of your storage instead of grabbing the Blue bottle for your medical vender Dex pills, then put them back where they go.

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it): Sprite update, if for the machine vendible bottles to have this. Or the introduction of ability to choose colours for bottles, so coding and sprite update.

Addendum: Anything custom made ought to get just a text label and look generic as currently implemented.

Pretty sure this is a duplicate.

About the same thing, idea was up for Dev review but no action either way since. Still a really good QOL and med improvement that would hopefully be easy to do. My idea verges slightly differently with letting them be user settable (examine pull down or some such) but either idea would be great.
