Howdy, I love chemistry.
You might know it is me behind chemistry with a random name when it is stocked up like crazy. But I am curious. I feel like chemistry is underappreciated.
Chemicals are only requested and otherwise rarely used. My last game I made over 300 Oxandrocyclic Acid pills, that is Oxandrolone and Salicyclic Acid combined, to help anyone treat their brute and burn damage in a pinch. 10 units each and it is very effective even labelled their effects, unit amount and OD amount as well. Everything to help people understand and make it easier to use. However, it seems like they largely went unnoticed and unused, never heard from anyone after the game even after I asked about it. I personally distributed them and even gave Security a full box of a total of 49 pills with them as they tend to get hurt.
I dislike the reputation Chemistry has, especially when in the same round a chemist failed to make meth, did make cyanide and probably some other harmful chemicals. A lot of people used to come up to me and request what’s already in the fridge. It’s like… does it not exist? During emergencies like the blob I even go as far as to bring an entire fridge with a ton of medicine to the area, then it gets quite a lot of uses!
Additionally. A few times I made an upgraded medkit. Which included pill bottles and such for a lot of varrying damage types. If I recall correctly it included a pill bottle of radiation, eye, ear, and brain medicine, two Atropine medipens and finally a bunch of synthflesh patches. I got a comment from my fellow chemist buddy saying it was amazing and they really liked it but don’t think people remembered it when they needed it the most.
Some specific questions I have:
Would you want a Oxandrocyclic Acid pill bottle on you?
Do you check chemistry fridges when you are wounded or need something?
Would you want an advanced medical emergency box?
What chemicals do you not see often but want from chemistry?
Do you know anything a chemist can do to assist in station wide threats like Blobs, Nukies or Rat’var cultists in regards to grenades and smoke machines? I’ve tried water machine during a blazing oil Blob but it changed before I could get it setup and also Meth grenades but despite being two tiles away from the core did nothing to it.
Thank you for reading this. It is quite late so I am sorry if I did something wrong! Hope I get to hear back from everyone reading!
