Plumbing has been soft-removed. Let's talk about it

This can be done without a factory in batches so large they won’t run out till the round’s over. In a similar amount of time as making a chemfac that makes the same patches.
So add actual maintenance. don’t remove the entire system. See the solutions section of the post.

Sure. It can be done. It’s tedious though. It’s much easier to automated it.

@ColonelOrion

You’re talking about the basic kelo/bicar/tricor/styptic/silver sulf factory here right?

Of course not. Why would I ever make kelo/bicar/tircor? Those reagents suck ass. Also we have the sleeper for them.

@ColonelOrion

Well for a start those patches are no better than the stuff doctors get at roundstart for ease and speed of use.

Correct. These patches are more then enough from a potency perspective. The only issue is that you run out of them. But with the factory that issue is gone.

No. I clearly said what kind of factory can be made in 6 minutes. I also said how I feel about the first three of those reagents.

@ColonelOrion

If you want to add more to the patch; ocu, inac, suffocation damage healing, higher level meds that require more complicated plumbing setups, etc, then it absolutely takes way more time than that, and that’s what I get the impression the majority of the bellyaching is about.

I don’t want to add more the the patch. It’s a waste of effort and resources.

• Why mix brute+burn together when most patient suffer from a single damage type?
• Why mix ocu/inac into a patch when most patients don’t suffer from eye/ear damage and a single manual batch is more then enough?
• Why mix in antitox or oxy reagents when both are rare and one of them heals by its self in most situations?

I wrote all about my opinions for different reagents and their uses in my medical guide if you are interested in my arguments for each one.

I think this is a good change in the right direction as written by my later replies, but I don’t think it matters at all. We still have the same medical system we had where the issue is revival. Not healing.
