Chemicals

You have all sorts of things here, and can make so much. You can make medicines, foam, flash powder, poisons, space lube, and so much more. The limit on combinations is a limit that exists only in your creativity (and the game engine). Be sure to be careful though, mixing the wrong chemicals can be bad for your health and please make sure you know what a chemical does before you use it. Experiment at your own risk.

Formulas

These are some sample formulas for you chemists out there, ask about in game to learn more! Experimentation can be dangerous, or rewarding.

Pharmaceutical chemicals can usually be identified by a light pink-ish color.

Medicine

The vast majority of chemicals you will be called on to make. Typically, a small amount of each should be kept on hand. Assuming the medical team is not incompetent, they should be able to keep everyone alive and quite healthy with your assistance. Underlined ingredients are not in the dispenser.

Alkysine Formula: 1 part Chlorine, 1 part Nitrogen, 1 part Dylovene -> 2 part Alkysine
Effects:
Used for treating brain damage. Slighly lessens the pain. Metabolizes at 0.05 units per tick. Overdose is 30 units.


Dylovene Formula: 1 part Silicon, 1 part Nitrogen, 1 part Potassium -> 3 part Dylovene
Effects:
A broad-spectrum anti-toxin. Heals toxin damage; will also shorten the durations of drug-related hallucinations and sleepiness, and remove toxic substances in the blood. Metabolizes at 0.2 units per tick. Does not overdose.


Arithrazine Formula: 1 part Hyronalin, 1 part Hydrogen -> 2 parts Arithrazine
Effects:
A very unstable medication used to treat the most extreme cases of radiation poisoning. It works faster than Hyronalin, but will cause some brute damage to the patient (including to the patient's cybernetic limbs). Such damage is very mild at low doses and easily treated at higher doses. It can also treat toxic damage, but not as effective as Dylovene. Metabolizes at 0.05 units per tick. Overdose is 30 units.


Bicaridine Formula: 1 part Inaprovaline, 1 part Carbon -> 2 parts Bicaridine
Effects:
An analgesic which is highly effective at treating brute damage. It is useful for stabilizing people who have been severely beaten, as well as treating less life-threatening injuries. A (poisonous) overdose will gradually slow internal bleeding. Metabolizes at 0.2 units per tick. Overdose is 30 units.


Cryoxadone Formula: 1 part Dexalin, 1 part Water, 1 part Oxygen -> 3 parts Cryoxadone
Effects:
Required for the proper function of cryogenics. It heals all standard types of damage very swiftly, but only works in temperatures under 170K (usually this means cryo cells). Heals clone damage slowly, such as caused by cloning or Slimes. Metabolizes at 0.2 units per tick. Does not overdose.


Clonexadone Formula: 1 part Cryoxadone, 1 part Sodium, 0.1 parts Phoron, 5 units Phoron (catalyst) -> 2 parts Clonexadone, 5 units Phoron
Effects:
Heals standard damage the same as Cryoxadone. This chemical reforms clones much faster then Cryoxadone. This includes damage done by Slimes. Best used in cryo cells. Only works in temperatures under 170K (usually this means cryo cells). The lower the temperature, the better it works.


Dermaline Formula: 1 part Kelotane, 1 part Oxygen, 1 part Phosphorus -> 3 parts Dermaline
Effects:
Used for treating burns, works faster than Kelotane. Metabolizes at 0.2 units per tick. Overdose is 15 units.


Dexalin Formula: 2 part Oxygen, 0.1 parts Phoron, 5 units Phoron (catalyst) -> 1 part Dexalin, 5 units Phoron
Effects:
Used for treating oxygen deprivation; slowly heals suffocation damage. In most cases where it is likely to be needed, the strength of Dexalin Plus will probably be more useful. Removes Lexorin from bloodstream. Metabolizes at 0.2 units per tick. Overdose is 30 units.


Dexalin Plus Formula: 1 part Dexalin, 1 part Carbon, 1 part Iron -> 3 parts Dexalin Plus
Effects:
Used in treatment of extreme cases of oxygen deprivation. It immediately counters all oxygen loss and is useful to keep lung injury patients stable during surgery. Removes Lexorin from bloodstream. Metabolizes at 0.2 units per tick. Overdose is 15 units.


Ethylredoxrazine Formula: 1 part Oxygen, 1 part Dylovene, 1 part Carbon -> 3 parts Ethylredoxrazine
Effects:
Neutralises alcohol in the blood stream. Though it is commonly needed, it is rarely requested. When combined with ethanol, it produces water. It also threats dizziness, sleepiness, and stuttering. Metabolizes at 0.2 units per tick. Overdose is 30 units.


Hyperzine Formula: 1 part Sugar, 1 part Phosphorous, 1 part Sulphur
Effects:
A highly effective, long lasting muscle stimulant. It allows greater freedom of movement in bulky clothing. Side effects include twitching, nervousness, and psychological addiction. Metabilizes at 0.03 units per tick. Overdose is 15 units.


Hyronalin Formula: 1 part Radium, 1 part Dylovene -> 2 parts Hyronalin
Effects:
Basic treatment for radiation damage. Reduces radiation damage more slowly than Arithrazine, but without its painful side effects. Does nothing against toxic damage. Metabolizes at 0.05 units per tick. Overdose is 30 units.


Imidazoline Formula: 1 part Hydrogen, 1 part Carbon, 1 part Dylovene -> 2 parts Imidazoline
Effects:
For treating eye trauma. It heals damage caused by physical or chemical trauma, though it is ineffective in treating genetic defects in the eyes. Metabolizes at 0.2 units per tick. Overdose is 30 units.


Inaprovaline Formula: 1 part Oxygen, 1 part Carbon, 1 part Sugar -> 3 parts Inaprovaline
Effects:
Inaprovaline is a cardiac and synaptic stimulant. Commonly used to stabilize patients - it stops the rate of decline in a patient's body if it has reached 0% or lower. Weak painkiller. Metabolizes at 0.1 units per tick. Overdose is 60 units.


Kelotane Formula: 1 part Silicon, 1 part Carbon -> 2 parts Kelotane

Treats burn damage effectively, preventing microbial growth and vastly speeding up healing of even full thickness burns. Metabolizes at 0.2 units per tick. Overdose is 30 units.


Leporazine Formula: 1 part Silicon, 1 part Copper, 5 units Phoron (catalyst) -> 2 parts Leporazine, 5 units Phoron

Stabilizes a patient's body temperature. Can be used to bring down a high fever before antibiotics kick in, or to raise the temperature of a hypothermia patient. Metabolizes at 0.2 units per tick. Overdose is 30 units.


Oxycodone Formula: 1 part Ethanol, 1 part Tramadol; 1 part Phoron (Catalyst)
Effects:
Makes 1 part. An effective and very addictive painkiller. Overdose at 20.


Paracetamol Formula: 1 part Tramadol, 1 part Sugar, 1 part Water

Synaptizine Formula: 1 part Lithium, 1 part Sugar, 1 part Water
Effects:
Synaptizine is toxic, but treats hallucinations, paralysis, and stunned or weakened patients. It is metabolized very slowly. One unit is enough to treat hallucinations; five units will cause dangerous poisoning; ten units is deadly.


Tramadol Formula: 1 part Inaprovaline, 1 part Ethanol, 1 part Oxygen
Effects:
A simple, yet effective painkiller. Very effective for patients in shock.


Tricordrazine Formula: 1 part Inaprovaline, 1 part Dylovene
Effects:
Originally derived from Cordrazine; will heal all damage types. Often used in a wide range of applications. The healing effect is weak, but as with Dylovene, there is no danger of overdose.
