Chemistry rework

[ThePiachu]

So, I've been looking into chemistry a bit, and I think I'm going to update the Chemistry wiki page.

First, I'd like to divide the list into two parts - "medicine" and "non-medicine". First part would be all about the essential stuff everyone would want - Dermaline, Tricord, etc. The second part would be focused on everything that's not medically useful - lube, cleaner, smoke. This way it would be easier for people to find what they need and separate the signal from the noise a tad.

Second kind of update I was thinking about was trying to complete the chem list, but I'm not sure how people would feel about this. Do we want to add the recipes for metal foam or space drugs in? On one hand, those chems don't seem to be the focus of the game, but on the other, having a more complete wiki would be nice, perhaps lending itself to those drugs being useful in the future. It might also be less of a problem once the first change is implemented - then adding some silly chems in won't make the actual chemistry list less usable.

Perhaps if we decide to catalogue everything, we could make a list of "bad chems" that would cover things like hyperzine or mindbreaker - chems that you shouldn't be making. Or is that just asking for trouble...

Anyways, what do you think?

Keep them in alphabetical order.

Don't add a bad chems section that will cause more issues that we don't need.


Make a preview of it on your user page first as well then post it in wiki-work with a @wiki contributor ping.

wiki/User:ThePiachu - first draft splitting the chems up into two

Then adding stuff like:
- Space Drugs
- Unstably Mutagen
- Metal Foam
- Citalopram
- Paroxetine
- Soysauce
- Fluorosurfactant
- Synaptizine

into "Other Recipes"
