An Anti-Parasite shot. I managed to get half the crew to let me willing inject them with this. Completely safe though.

The jugs contained 11 deunomia, 30 charcoal, and 119 water each.

It deals 5 genetic damage (which removes non existant parasites at the same time), and is then harmless.

Rip Jugs. I have had to update my naming schemes to keep the jugs in line inside the new dispenser.

The R stands for (R)irloss. And please ignore BR9. it exists solely to keep the poisons in line.

Hello

I've been playing on this server for a long time, but I took a break for a few years. When I came back, there were a ton of changes, and since I'm as clueless as the guys in red when it comes to reviewing the existing guide, I decided to put my brain to work and created a chemistry recipe book based on the existing documentation.

I have the idea of creating a “recipe-o-matic” to help people—like me—who are new or returning, to be more efficient when completing their tasks.

So, what I did was create an HTML file, designed to be easy to navigate and follow.

So, without further ado, here is the file.

Note that some things are missing; it may be disorganized or contain errors. I’ll review all feedback to improve it. And it’s an incomplete version. Things are missing, but it’s a starting point.

:D

I didnt look at it too much in depth but i noticed a few things.

Every instence of lib (execpt the main brute mix) should probably be replaced with prob instead. Its just better healing and doesnt cost too much more.

Your arith mix is 1:1 arith/lib. I use a 4:1 arith/grani mix, and its fully safe. It should be better than your basic rad mix too.

Ive now looked at it a second time.

This is a minor nitpick but I advice against giving lace as the example of the chem to make razor. Its needlessly expensive in carbon.

Also about your purge mix for poison. Ive done a bit of testing since I used to fall in the same trap. The pentetic kills most of the multiver, so the multiver doesnt end up doing all that much in the end. I normally just make 50/50 diphen/mult and use that while keeping pentetic off to the side.

Also fun fact for mixes. Saline is a drink, so it processes in the stomach. Which means you can include it with mixes that already have 3 chems in it. Very nice for surgery IVs.

I didnt see any errors in the values that i looked it. But i definitly didnt look at all the numbers. And its purely my own memory. My memory fails me at inconvient times though :godo:.

Hiya all!
I'm still pretty new to the server, but its chemistry has intrigued me.
I was a chem main when I played ss13 a few years ago. Far from perfect, but better than most. I had a fancy sheet and everything, though I never bothered to learn the secret stuff cause I worried about getting into trouble or exploding lol xD So I was no expert but I was probably intermediate, getting all the important stuff out in about 20 minutes if I had a good coworker and then spending the rest of the round either experimenting or roleplaying with the doctors if it was slow. Paradise's chem system was really simple but I enjoyed it as a simple checklist lover though the bar was low because all it took to be a good chemist was not to blow up in the first five minutes

So! Some questions :)

Besides the above recipe page someone made,

  • are there any up to date guides for learning it?

  • Is there anything specific you wish you knew that you'd tell a newbie?

  • How different is it from most 14 servers?

  • Should I learn the basics of medical first, or will it get a new system later like other servers that I'd be better off waiting for?

  • Any tips for someone who is like REALLY bad at math too ?? Because I am so bad at math i don't know how i survived before.

A thousand questions upon thee. The more info available on a public forum the better imo. Thanks :dinonug2: xoxo

If you put 5 units of water in a beaker and put it on a hotplate, the temperature skyrockets. The beaker then remains hot until you empty it and refill it with water from a sink. This is both beneficial and detrimental: if your oil turns to ash it's because the beaker is searing hot.

Where other servers may have Bicaridine we have a mix of Libital and Probital, which are both very weak brute medication. Mixed together they make for a, less weak brute medication. Same for burns. Dexalin Plus does not exist!

Most of the time you'll be using 30 units at a time. Just look at the ratios and click until it clicks. Why 30? Because 30x3 is 90 and that's as close as you'll get to 100 with big, round numbers. It gets even better when you work with 25 and 20!

Good luck with your Chemistry endeavors. Of course the best school is practice. I'm not the most robust Chemist to be telling you this, but I'm better than nothing!
