I don't think you can

I guess you could get some alcohol, me thinks you can use ethanol, and pour it over someone. That way you can light them on fire with a welder, but you also have a flamethrower in the weapons locker by the containment pens. Inject chems into a monkey if that's possible, otherwise just use a willing test subject or yourself. Then when you have the chems in them you flame them and wait for whatever it is you're making to mix or whatever. Use a sleeper to get the mixed chems out of them and into a beaker. But i'm probably right when i say that most of the chems that need heating have been removed from the code.
I play "Mudder Plantagenet" and that's it, no fancy quotes or anything.

Understandable. The way some people think, chemistry would be exploding non stop...

No. Chem heaters weren't introduced to the codebase, and other than that, heating chems is impossible now since it's an entire system that requires a shitton of coding. It's not worth the effort for the reason ;

Chemistry is fine as is. Most of the chems that require heating are toxin meds, poisons, black powder, teslium, CLF3 (pyrotechnic) or any OTHER pyrotechnic chem. Unless we're switching the focus of the game and introducing more antagonists; these have no purpose.

to; dr We can't port chemical heating over because we're closed source.
You will never be as bad as the baldie who picked up a tactical shotgun while a hunter was pouncing on top of a CMO for 4 seconds, with his only response being to pace around before being decap'd by said hunter. You are not Brett Kimple, and you never will be. You are not the reason why I regular MP.
