We have dental surgery for pill insertion but it’s rarely used. I’d like to do this more often now that autodocs are gone - we’re being incentivized to do manual surgeries.
Post your most creative, gimmicky, power-gaming, or otherwise pill idea.
Maximum pill size is 50u
You can add 20-ish pills individually.
Touch-based drugs like synthflesh don’t work orally

Emergency Flashbang:
Flash Powder (20u) - deafens area at high temperature
Sonic Powder (20u) - flashes area at high temperature
Potassium (1u) - internal reaction with water for high temperature
Together I think this will make a flashbang. The potassium is to reach an internal temperature of 374 kelvin which triggers each powder. I don’t know if it’ll work.

Captain’s Special:
Ephedrine (5u) - move speed, stun reduction, stabilize
Bicaridine (5u) - for last bit of brute dmg
Ketotane (5u) - for last bit of brute dmg
Salicyclic Acid (5u) - for most brute dmg
Oxandrolone (5u) - for most burn dmg
Hepanephrodaxon (5u) - fast removal of toxin dmg
Perfluorodecalin (5u) - fast O2 dmg, small toxin buildup
Tricordrazine (5u) - heal everything slightly
Atropine (2u) - heal everything fast if in crit, causes dizzy status
Inacusiate (1u) - instant hearing recovery
Oculine (1u) - instant eye recovery
Leporazine (6u) - stabilizes body temperature to GTFO of hot areas
This should pull someone out of and critical condition and has a little speed boost to make an escape. But it’s not optimized.
Referring to “Captain’s Special”: the atropine, while great for getting people outta crit, seems like it would clash with the “quick escape” thing you’re also going for, due to dizzy status.
Otherwise, this seems like a pretty damn good crit-stabilization mix.
Unless I’m mistaken, the maximum pill size is 50u. If someone wants to prove me wrong, I’ll welcome the knowledge of how to make 100u pills.
Potassium will simply be metabolized as potassium and will not cause reagents to heat up unless, again, there’s something I’m missing here. If what you say is true, digesting bananas should cause people to overheat in SS13.
I’m not sure if you meant self-surgery here or not, but I do want to advise that self-surgery dental implants have an excessively high failure chance.
Salicylic Acid and Oxandrolone cause 3 stamina damage every tick that they heal something - you’ll easily enter stamcrit stacking both of them if you’re taking both types of damage. Atropine causes you to drop what you’re holding constantly (which isn’t bad if the pill is intended for a get-away), but the real killer of this mix is Hepanephrodaxon which causes confusion and will sabotage any attempt to escape an attacker.
Here’s a couple of my favorite mixes:
Spacewalk
Perfluorodecalin (5u)
Cryoxadone (20u)
Bicaridine (10u)
Antitoxin (15u)
This mixture lets you spacewalk freely for 50 ticks, with negligible toxin damage at the tail end (the antitoxin doesn’t stay in the system quite as long as the Perfluoro does)
The Getaway
Atropine (5u)
Nuka-Cola (5u) [Available from vending machine]
Meth (5u)
Kelotane (5u)
Bicaridine (5u)
Tricordrazine (10u)
Want to run so fast you break the sound barrier while shrugging off most damage? Meth isn’t really necessary since nuka cola already boosts speed so much, but why not? Atropine may be swapped for Epinephrine if you wish to fight
Whatever mixes I come up with, I prefer to keep them relatively simple so that they’re actually feasible to produce in under 5 minutes. I don’t like the thought of spending 30 minutes for a pill.
Lowdoses of Salicylic an Oxandrolone are great for combat, yeah. 2u will provide a quick burst of 30 healing without reaching slowdown levels of stamina damage.
Crank deals a bit of brute and toxin damage.
Psicodine for counteracting any mood caused slowdown.
And mannitol for brain damage. You can never have too much mannitol.
The bath salts won’t last full duration but you don’t want to get more brain damage from that pill than it heals, do you?
For the flashbang pill, you should swap the potassium for something else, I’m pretty sure the explosion reaction just straight up purges things.
For heating up the chemicals, you could try cooled down CFL3 (use a chemical heater, they cool too) with kelotane and oxandrolone, the CFL3 will make you burn very hot for a few seconds, which SHOULD heat the chemicals up, and the kelo+oxan combo will keep you alive (or at least not to damaged to patch up).
For a safer and more consistent alternative, you could add pyrosium to the flashbang pill, while also adding an second pill of liquid oxygen, just pop in both, and you should have no problem getting your chemicals to temperature.
just make egg pills so that people crack open their own teeth to taste the eggy goodness. Imagine biting hard on a pressurized capsule embedded in your tooth and your moth being filled with 10 raw eggs… yum
