Sulfonal is 100% harmless, 22 ticks to knock out and 0.05u/tick metabolized. 5u is a 4 minute knockout with a 1 minute delay before being knocked out and no side-effects
Atropine causes dizziness and jittering and makes the player unable to hold items in their hands for its duration. It stops healing at 20 HP so target stops healing once they’re stabilized but while they’ll still be slowed from low HP. It also has quite a slow metabolization at 0.1u/tick.
Atropine was one of the ones changed slightly along with Synthflesh and such, but Sulfonal has been this way for as long as I’ve known about it. Even before the change that made it cause you to drop things constantly, Atropine would have been a good solution for the healing portion of question 2
Huh, correct me if im wrong, but is sulfonal being nonlethal supposed to be intentional?
I looked into the wiki, and its supposed to deal damage every 2 cycles, then i tried it in game and you do take toxic damage, but only during the part where youre awake, you take atleast 10 toxin damage.
Then i looked into the sulfonal code, and its coded in a way that makes me believe that it was intended that to continue deal damage, but its written in a way that once the reagent reaches cycle 22 it puts you to sleep but thats it.
Chloral hydrate is pretty underrated, makes someone drowsy and confused cycle 1-10 and has a chanche to put them asleep after that, though it can be pretty random. Works good if you mix it with morphine, just dont put too much of it or you can kill them if its in them beyond cycle 50

Chloral is the easiest to get and overall the least harmful for how quickly it KOs, but it has a major downside if you keep someone knocked out too long - exponential toxin damage. Not related to dosage or overdose, purely how long they’re asleep for
