Guide to chemistry

This guide will primarily be useful for chemists but may come in handy to any player and especially traitors.

Chemicals

You have all sorts of things here, and can make so much. You can make medicines, foam, flash powder, poisons, space lube, window hardener, 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.

Some pure chemicals are lethal or will cause heavy toxin damage if injected or ingested in their pure form.

Row 1	Row 2	Row 3
Aluminum	Carbon	Chlorine
Copper	Ethanol	Fluorine
Hydrogen	Iron	Lithium
Mercury	Nitrogen	Oxygen
Phosphorus	Potassium	Radium
Sulphuric Acid	Silicon	Sodium
Sugar	Sulphur	Water

Grinding minerals from mining will also get you:

• Plasma
• Uranium

The NanoMed Plus is your main source of generic toxin.

Active Pure Chemicals

• Chlorine: Causes minor physical damage to various body parts.
• Ethanol: The most potent alcoholic "beverage", with the fastest toxicity.
• Fluorine: Causes minor toxin damage.
• Lithium: Causes twitching, drooling, moaning and not being able to walk straight.
• Mercury: Causes brain damage, twitching, drooling, moaning and not being able to walk straight.
• Radium: Causes irradation.
• Sulphuric Acid: Causes minor toxin damage and instant brute damage to one body part when ingested. Destroys head-wear and causes burn damage when sprayed on someone.
• Plasma: Causes major toxin damage.
• Uranium: Causes slight irradiation.
• Toxin: Causes moderate toxin damage.

Formulas

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.

Alkysine▮ Formula: 1 part Anti-Toxin, 1 part Chlorine, 1 part Nitrogen Effects: Lessens the damage to neurological tissue, effective even after catastrophic injury. Used for treating brain damage (Results in 2 units instead of 3).	Anti-Toxin▮ Formula: 1 part Nitrogen, 1 part Potassium, 1 part Silicon Effects: A broad-spectrum anti-toxin, which treats toxin damage in the blood stream. It is also known as Dylovene.
Arithrazine▮ Formula: 1 part Hyronalin, 1 part Hydrogen Effects: A very unstable medication used to treat the most extreme cases of radiation poisoning. May cause some internal damage to the patient, but such damage is easily treatable.	Bicaridine▮ Formula: 1 part Inaprovaline, 1 part Carbon 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.
Cryoxadone▮ Formula: 1 part Dexalin, 1 part Oxygen, 1 part Water Effects: Required for the proper function of cryogenics. It heals all types of damage (including clone damage) very swiftly, but only when in a very cold environment.	Clonexadone▮ Formula: 1 part Cryoxadone, 1 part Sodium, 5 units Plasma (catalyst) Effects: A stronger version of Cryoxadone. It heals all types of damage but as an added bonus, heals clone damage 3x faster than Cryoxadone, but only when in a very cold environment. Useful for speed cloning.
Rezadone▮ Formula: 1 part Cryptobiolin, 1 part Carpotoxin, 1 part Copper Effects: A powder derived from fish toxin, this substance can effectively treat genetic damage in humanoids, though excessive consumption has side effects.	Dermaline▮ Formula: 1 part Kelotane, 1 part Oxygen, 1 part Phosphorus Effects: A chemical, which is more effective at treating burns damage than kelotane. Is administered with a syringe or pill.
Dexalin▮ Formula: 2 part Oxygen, 5 units Plasma (catalyst) Effects: Used for treating oxygen deprivation. In most cases where it is likely to be needed, the strength of Dexalin Plus will probably be more useful (Results in 1 unit instead of 2).	Dexalin Plus▮ Formula: 1 part Dexalin, 1 part Carbon, 1 part Iron Effects: Used in treatment of extreme cases of oxygen deprivation. It immediately counters all oxygen loss, which is hugely useful in many circumstances.
Ethylredoxrazine▮ Formula: 1 part Anti-Toxin, 1 part Carbon, 1 part Oxygen Effects: Neutralises alcohol in the blood stream. Though it is commonly needed, it is rarely requested.	Hyperzine▮ Formula: 1 part Phosphorous, 1 part Sugar, 1 part Sulphur Effects: A highly effective, long lasting muscle stimulant. It allows greater freedom of movement in bulky clothing although it has the side effect of causing some twitching.
Hyronalin▮ Formula: 1 part Anti-Toxin, 1 part Radium Effects: A weak treatment for radiation damage. Considered to be useful mainly for genetic modification, where it reduces radiation levels, and thus the chance of genetic mutations.	Imidazoline▮ Formula: 1 part Anti-Toxin, 1 part Carbon, 1 part Hydrogen Effects: Effective in treating eye trauma. It heals damage caused by physical or chemical trauma, though it is ineffective in treating genetic defects in the eyes (Results in 2 units instead of 3).
Inaprovaline▮ Formula: 1 part Carbon, 1 part Oxygen, 1 part Sugar Effects: Inaprovaline is a synaptic stimulant and cardiostimulant. Commonly used to stabilize patients- it stops the rate of decline in a patient's body if it has reached 0% or lower.	Kelotane▮ Formula: 1 part Carbon, 1 part Silicon Effects: Treats burn damage effectively, preventing microbial growth and vastly speeding up healing of even full thickness burns.
Leporazine▮ Formula: 1 part Copper, 1 part Silicon, 5 units Plasma (catalyst) Effects: This keeps a patient's body temperature stable. High doses can allow short periods of unprotected EVA.	Lipozine▮ Formula: 1 part Sodium Chloride, 1 part Ethanol, 5 units Radium Effects: Speeds up the patient's metabolism to reduce body fat at a rapid rate.
Ryetalyn▮ Formula: 1 part Arithrazine, 1 part Carbon Effects: Repairs all genetic defects, restoring a patient to an ideal state. May be useful if genetics is unable to function properly.	Spaceacillin▮ Formula: 1 part Cryptobiolin, 1 part Inaprovaline Effects: A theta-lactam antibiotic. A common and very useful medicine, cures many diseases likely to be encountered in space and when injected into infected patients it prevents all diseases from spreading to others.
Synaptizine▮ Formula: 1 part Lithium, 1 part Sugar, 1 part Water Effects: Used as part of a cure for GBS. It removes Mindbreaker Toxin (faster than Anti-Toxin) and lowers the duration of paralysis, stunned, weakened, drowsyness and hallucinations. Has a chance to deal a small amount of toxic damage.	Tricordrazine▮ Formula: 1 part Anti-Toxin, 1 part Inaprovaline Effects: A highly potent stimulant that can heal all damage types, originally derived from Cordrazine. Often used in a wide range of applications.

Beyond the Dispenser

Just because it isn't found in the dispenser or the guide above doesn't mean you can't use it! Holy water, slime cores and plenty of other things can provide limitless fun for an enterprising and curious chemist.
