Mostly just gonna be posting what I yapped about in dev chat here-
Gonna first do a small update that updates the guide book with the chem reactions currently in the game (Besides the normal mixing recipe ones)- mainly what they are and how they occur- not sure if I wanna do the more technical stuff like max occurrences / size / etc. on chem reactions.
From there I'm gonna start trying to think of new chem reactions and what they should do;
I want one that releases a good amount of oxygen gas - probably cooking off cryox- as that could release like, lets say two - three mols per unit (Two to three times the amount you would normally get from a phlog plasma release which I believe is one mol per unit)- probably at a relatively low but still intentional value (not just room temp) - This will mean also result in the reaction where plugging cryoxadone into a pyrogenics setup will massively overpressurize it (which would be a good mechanic to have, I think)- main idea would be for 1. fires in a pure oxygen environment or 2. Re-pressurizing rooms rapidly with mixer grenades
Maybe a new chem crafting recipe reaction? I'm thinking liquid exotium (small amount, maybe 5u), a large amount of blood (20-30u? 25u?) and 10 or so units of corgium would cause a generic corgi to spawn - corgi chem grenades incoming
From there I'm wondering if (A la juice that makes you hew and juice that makes you weh) corgium and dark corgium combining resulting in an explosion would be a good idea- I'm worried that it would result in improper mixes resulting in antags wasting a lot of the dark corgium ingredients. Also wondering if making this reaction a more powerful explosion would be good, as it gives a weird alternative to the usual bomb recipes.
maybe a less powerful version of a cryox with a specific chem mix that "Aerosolizes" chems again into gas (and the air) would be a good idea (given that the chemical has a specific gas tied to it like nitrogen, oxygen, etc.), or that idea I had earlier for a vaporizer (as an opposite to the condenser, which takes liquid forms of gas in and then releases them as a gas again)
Please let me know if you have anything you want to add to this already massive yappost- I'm going to be trying to think of chemical reactions that would fit and be a good idea to have with the newchem changes (Which I'm loving so far!)
Thanks for reading.
