Golems are the souls of the dead encased in gemstone. They retain no memories of their previous lives, but retain the cunning, knowledge and personalities of those spirits. They are completely devoted to their creator, and will carry out any order given to them. Typically they are aligned with the station, but in the wrong hands, they can be devastating due to how resistant to damage they are.

Their toughness and obedience makes them ideal as Bodyguards, Security and Engineers. Their nature of creation means they often assist in Research areas, but due to their slowness, single-minded devotion and lack of availability, are seldom seen in Medical and Command roles.

Golems can be made of several metals and minerals, or they can be Adamantine Golems created directly from slimes.
==Creating a Golem==
Golems are created by spawning and completing a shell.
* There are two ways to create shells:
** Injecting 1 unit of plasma into 25 Adamantine Slime Extract, then using the 25 resulting Adamantine bars to form a shell.
** On the free golem ship, use the Golem Creation Disk to print one on the Autolathe.
* After this, using 10 of any type of mineral on the shell will complete it, sending a warning to ghosts and observers, who can inhabit it at will to spawn as a golem of that mineral type.
* Golems created from Adamantine bars will serve whoever '''finished''' the shell, while golems created with the autolathe on the free golem ship will have free will.
==Traits==
Golems are spaceworthy and tough as rock. Some are immune to heat, cold, electrical shocks, bleeding, embedding and viruses - this depends on the mineral type. In exchange, they are slow, cannot wear uniforms, masks, gloves, exosuits or shoes. However, they don't need to. Golems don't need a mask to use internals, and the pockets, ID, belt and exosuit storage slots can be used as normal. They are also free to use hats and backpacks, which can be used to distinguish them if their Creator has assigned them to a particular Department (Such as [[Security|Security]] or [[Engineering|Engineering]]).

Their armour is incredibly tough, and will reduce damage to less than half its strength. Their punches are stronger than humans', and have a chance to stun. Their rocky fingers also can't fit in the trigger guards of guns, so they can only use melee weapons, or modified Kinetic Accelerators.

They can enter space and wade into fires without concern, making them very versatile during emergencies such as plasma fires or hull breaches.
Their loyalty to their master is absolute, so anything they do will be the responsibility of their creator: be wary of harming humans, as the crew will have no qualms about exterminating you and then your master.

Golems can be stunned in the same ways a human can, with the exception of syringe guns due to their thick skin; they take damage normally, after it is reduced by their armor, but they do not bleed. When in crit, instead of suffocating, they'll take brute damage over time, and cannot give or receive CPR.
===Types of Golems===
Golems gain traits from the minerals they're made of:
{| class="wikitable"
|-
! || Material || Description
|-
| [[File:Adamantine_Golem.png]]
! Adamantine
| Adamantine Golems have special vocal cords that can resonate messages to all other golems, great for coordinating them. The first Free Golems spawn as this species, otherwise you'll need to do a bunch of Xenobiology to get the required Adamantium bars. They are also magic immune!
|-
| [[File:Iron_golem.png]]
! Iron
| Iron Golems are the average golem, and do not have any additional traits.
|-
| [[File:Silver_golem.png]]
! Silver
| Silver Golems pack heavier punches, granting them a higher chance of stunning. They are also magic immune!
|-
| [[File:Gold_golem.png]]
! Gold
| Gold Golems are faster than an average golem, but are less armored. Yes, gold is heavy, but golems are magical and don't have to make sense.
|-
| [[File:Uranium_golem.png]]
! Uranium
| Uranium Golems constantly emit radiation, poisoning organic lifeforms nearby. Other golems are safe.
|-
| [[File:Titanium_golem.png]]
! Titanium
| Titanium Golems are more resistant to heat and are immune to ash storms in [[Lavaland]].
|-
| [[File:Plastitanium_golem.png]]
! Plastitanium
| Plastitanium Golems are, like Titanium Golems, heat resistant and immune to ash storms. On top of that, they are not harmed by lava.
|-
| [[File:Plasma_golem.png]]
! Plasma
| Plasma Golems are controlled chaos: they can self-ignite themselves and, if hot enough while burning, they'll blow up! They do not take damage from fires but as mentioned before, blowing up is instant death. Great for suicide bombing your foolish samurais.
|-
| [[File:Diamond_golem.png]]
! Diamond
| Diamond Golems have extremely high armor, making them hard to damage.
|-
| [[File:Plasteel_golem.png]]
! Plasteel
| Plasteel Golems are even slower than normal golems, but they deal higher damage when punching (12-21), and are much less affected by stuns. They also magnetically attach to surfaces and and won't float without gravity, and cannot have their positions swapped with other beings even on help intent.
|-
| [[File:Sand_golem.png]]
! Sand
| Sand Golems are unaffected by physical or kinetic bullets and are highly resistant to all other forms of brute damage, but they take triple burn damage from any source. On death, they'll turn into an unrevivable pile of sand.
|-
| [[File:Glass_golem.png]]
! Glass
| Glass Golems reflect lasers and energy shots, and are highly resistant to burn damage, but they take triple brute damage from any source. When dying, they shatter and cannot be recovered in any way.
|-
| [[File:Bluespace_golem.png]]
! Bluespace Polycrystals
| Bluespace Golems are extremely unstable and will randomly teleport when hit by anything more threatening than a hug. On top of that, they can also trigger the random teleportation manually, over a much wider area.
|-
| [[File:Wood_golem.png]]
! Wood
| Wood Golems are the symbol of the collaboration between [[Guide_to_races#Podpeople|Podpeople]] and Free Golems. They lack the heat protection of golems, can be set on fire, and are less armoured, but they feed and regenerate when they are near a source of light, and starve and wither when in the darkness, much like normal podpeople.
|-
| [[File:Alloy_golem.png]]
! Alien Alloy
| Alloy Golems are made with materials scavenged from abductor ships, which grant them greater speed and constant regeneration. Due to the alien nature of the materials, however, they are not able to communicate by speaking. They will, instead, send telepathic messages that can be heard by other alloy golems or [[Abductor|abductors]].
|-
| [[File:Bananium_golem.png]]
! Bananium
| Bananium Golems are what a true clown dreams to be. They '''HONK''' constantly, willing or not; they have an inherently loud and funny voice, their punches hardly deal any damage, and when damaged they bleed slippery bananas. Make these at the risk of your own sanity.
|-
| [[File:Plastic_golem.png]]
! Plastic
| Plastic Golems are very stretchy, and can thus ventcrawl as long as they aren't wearing or holding items. Due to material affinity, they can also pass through plastic flaps.
|-
| [[File:Runic_golem.png]]
! Runic Metal
| Runic Golems are loosely affiliated with the [[Blood Cult]], and draw their powers from the same source, although they aren't necessarily their allies. They can Jaunt, allowing them to cross walls for a time, they can cast an Abyssal Gaze onto a victim, chilling and blinding them temporarily, and can permanently Dominate animals and monsters, turning them to their (and their master's) side.
|-
| [[File:Cloth_golem.png]]
! Cloth
| Created from cloth or medical gauze, these Golems are extremely flammable, and don't need to be doused in fuel to burn. But if they aren't burnt to death, they turn into a messy pile of cloth, that reanimates after some time, fully reviving them. The pile can of course be burnt or destroyed to prevent this. They are also magic immune!
|-
| [[File:Clockwork_golem.png]]
! Clockwork
| Created by Clockwork cultists, these golems are faster and less armored. Unless the herald's beacon is active, they will turn into a pile of scrap on death.
|-
| [[File:Brokenbottle.png]]
! Bronze
| As a Bronze Golem you are very resistant to loud noises, and make loud noises if something hard hits you. However this ability does hurt your hearing.
|-
| [[File:Brokenbottle.png]]
! Bone
| As a Bone Golem you have a powerful spell that lets you chill your enemies with fear, and milk heals you! Just make sure to watch out for bone-hurting juice.
|-
| [[File:Brokenbottle.png]]
! Cardboard
| As a Cardboard Golem you aren't very strong, but you are a bit quicker and can easily create more brethren by using cardboard on yourself.
|-
| [[File:Brokenbottle.png]]
! Leather
| As a Leather Golem you are flammable, but you can grab things with incredible ease, allowing all your grabs to start at a strong level.
|-
| [[File:Brokenbottle.png]]
! Durathread
| As a Durathread Golem your strikes will cause your targets to start choking, but your woven body won't withstand fire very well.
|-
| [[File:Brokenbottle.png]]
! Copper
| As a Copper Golem you are weaker and faster, and you can conduct electricity without being harmed by it.
|-

==Free Golems==
Free golems were freed from servitude by a scientist they revere as The Liberator. In his infinite and divine wisdom, he set their clan free to travel the stars with a single declaration:

"'''Yeah go do whatever.'''"

Sometimes one of these ships may end up crashing in [[Lavaland]]. These golems, should they wake up from hibernation, will effectively be free of any master, and will usually mine and eventually build their own R&D department. They are peaceful unless disturbed.

Free Golems start with a '''Golem Creation Disk''', which contains a unique autolathe design that creates a '''Golem Shell''', without any need for slimes. Unlike those made in [[Guide_to_xenobiology|xenobiology]], however, golems made from these shells are not enslaved to their creator.

"''Forgotten, devoured, gutted. Humanity has forgotten the eldritch forces of decay, but the mansus veil has weakened. We will make them taste fear again...''"

So you're a heretic? Well, get ready for magic and battle. Grab influences, complete sacrifices, accomplish rituals, and ascend to godhood.
==The Mansus Veil Weakens==
You are a nasty little bookworm in search of truth and power, and you have arrived on a station ripe with opportunities. The ultimate goal of a heretic is to research knowledge of the Mansus. Every knowledge gained grants you new abilities and unlocks new rituals until you become all-powerful.

You can gain knowledge points and become stronger through a few ways:
* Harvest knowledge by draining pierces in reality located around the station of power
* Wait for new knowledge to be revealed to you over time
* Sacrificing crew members your dark patrons may hunger for.
To aid you in acquiring forbidden powers, you start with some important knowledge:
* '''Break of Dawn''', which grants you the [[File:mansus_grasp.gif]] '''Mansus Grasp''', a modular spell that, without upgrades, lets you touch a target to cause a short [[Status_Effects#Knockdown|knockdown]], 67 [[Health#Stamina|stamina damage]] and light brute damage, on a 10 second cooldown. As you grow in power, your Grasp will gain additional effects. This counts as magic, so don't try using it on anyone with [[Chaplain|anti-magic]].
* '''The Living Heart''', which grants you a [[file:heart.png]] '''Living Heart'''. This knowledge turns your ''actual'' heart (if your [[Plasmaman|species]] has one) into a Living Heart, which allows you to track your sacrifice targets. You gain the ability to '''pulse''' your Living Heart, which directs you to one of your sacrifice targets. {{Leftclick}} the action will let you chose which to track, while {{Rightclick}} will skip selection and track your last chosen target. Be careful - pulsing your heart will produce an audible heartbeat that people nearby may hear. If you lose your heart due ''[[Security_Officer|an accident]]'', you will need to complete a ritual to regain it.
* '''Amber Focus''', which allows you to create a Focus. Focuses are necessary in order for you to cast your more advanced spells, so try to keep one handy just in case.
All of these are critical to your ascension, so don't lose them, and keep them hidden from security!
* '''Heartbeat of the Mansus''', which allows you to sacrifice your targets to the Mansus. Bring one of your targets back to a rune in critical condition or dead and invoke the rune. This will send your sacrifice to the Shadow Realm and reward you with 2 knowledge points (or 3, if they're a head of staff!).
These basic knowledges are critical to acquiring enough power to ascend, so get familiar.
===[[file:heart.png]] Sacrificing===
The Mansus desires only a select few crewmembers at any moment.

At the start of the round you will be assigned four sacrifice targets. You can reroll these with an optional knowledge later on, but until then, you're stuck with those.
* One target will be a Head of Staff. Heads of staff are worth an additional point!
* One target will be a member of security.
* One target will be a member of your department.
* One target will be a completely random crewmember.
You will ONLY be able to sacrifice these targets. Your patrons will not accept just ''any'' old assistant.

Follow your [[file:heart.png]] '''Living Heart''' to your target of choice and incapacitate them through any means necessary.
If your target's in critical or dead, they're ready to sacrifice. Drag them over a [[File:heretic_rune.png|32px]] '''transmutation rune''' and invoke the rune to sacrifice them.

Whenever a target is sacrificed, they're healed up and sent to a SHADOW REALM, forced to dodge the Hands of the Mansus to fight for their survival. They'll also lose their memory of whoever sacrificed them, so your ass is covered on that front.

However, if you mess up the target something fierce and they're unable to be revived, they'll make a huge mess over your rune. Keep your sacrifices in good condition, or leave behind a large amount of evidence that you're on the hunt!
===[[file:reality_fracture.gif]] '''Influences'''===
'''Influences''' are the easy way to gain power points. Whenever there are heretics aboard Space Station 13, influences will randomly spawn across the station. In this state, influences are only visible to heretics. These are untapped and ripe for the picking.
{{Leftclick}} on an influence with an empty hand to harvest it, but be careful - anyone examining you may notice something's afoot.

After being harvested, the influence vanish temporarily. Soon after, it will reappear and change its appearance, becoming a '''pierced reality'''. More importantly, '''it will become visible to the entire crew.''' Influences can only be harvested once, so don't waste time trying to collect those that other heretics have already taken!

[[file:reality_fracture_harvested.gif]] (An already harvested influence. Notice the glow.)

Using a [[file:heretic_forbidden_book.png]] Codex Cicatrix to harvest an influence will reward double the knowledge points. Risk for reward!
===[[File:Codex open.png]] Heretical Research===
Once you have some power points, it's time to '''research'''! Open up your Antag Info UI (Action button, top left) and visit the second tab. The research menu forms a branching tree (see below), and your first selection will be to commit to a '''path''' that defines your initial abilities and final ascension. You can earn abilities from other paths to a limited degree, but overall your chosen path will heavily influence your play-style.

===[[File:heretic_rune.png|64px]] Transmutation is the Key===
Eventually, you'll need to start using proper magics. To draw a '''transmutation rune''', you'll need a writing tool, such as a pen or crayon. Activate [[File:mansus_grasp.gif]] '''Mansus Grasp''' in your offhand and click on the floor to begin drawing a rune. These runes are green and take up a 3x3 area, and while they can go under other objects, it's best to keep them clear for transmutation purposes.

You can remove runes by using your [[File:mansus_grasp.gif]] '''Mansus Grasp''' on it, and you can also freely use ''other'' heretics' runes.

To '''transmute''', simply click the rune with an empty hand while the appropriate object(s) are on top of it, making sure that nothing else is in the way. Transmutation Rituals allow you to create powerful artifacts, demonic monsters, and many useful tools that will help you progress towards ultimate power.

The [[file:heretic_forbidden_book.png]] Codex Cicatrix can also draw and remove runes, and does it as a faster rate than doing it by hand.
===Focus is Necessary===
To cast more advanced spells, you must be wearing a focus. A focus can be made by transmuting a glass sheet and a pair of eyes. '''This necklace must be worn''' to gain its effects.

Some more powerful heretic equipment also functions as a focus - Namely, the Ominous Armor from the Armorer's Ritual (when the hood is flipped up).
===[[file:heretic_blade.png]] '''Heretic Blade'''===
The '''Heretic Blade''' will be your first unlocked research. It can be created by transmuting a common knife or equivalent with a secondary ingredient based on your path, and serves as a powerful melee weapon, or broken to serve as one-use escape tool.

All paths have their own kind of blade, which only differ in appearance and name without any additional research. As with the [[File:mansus_grasp.gif]] '''Mansus Grasp''', your blade will be upgraded by your research over time. Said upgrades will differ depending on the path you choose.

You are limited in the amounts of blades you can create at a time - Ash, Void, and Rust limit you to two blades, and Flesh limits you to three. Try not to lose them!

Additionally, you can '''break''' your blade by activating it in-hand to teleport to a random, (mostly) safe location in a pinch. Better to lose your weapon and live another day than die fighting.
==Paths of The Mansus==
There are different aspects of the arcane to which you can devote yourself. While all rituals and spells can be learned, your first and most important choice will decide how your weapon [[file:heretic_blade.png]] and grasp [[file:mansus_grasp.gif]] will evolve, and how your final ascension will transform you.

|-
!Path of Ash
|Nightwatcher's secret
|The Path of Ash revolves around fire, mobility, crowd control and being a sneaky fucker that can jaunt while handcuffed. It grants the most forgiving abilities for a new heretic, such as the aforementioned jaunt and a potential mass heal, and is highly recommended for first-timers. It doesn't have the most powerful abilities until the later game, but it is still enjoyable. Ascending gives you the power to burn down the station in a living tornado of flame.
|-
!Path of Rust
|Blacksmith's Tale
|The Path of Rust is about healing, corruption and brute forcing through all obstacles, at the cost of stealth. Rust gives you abilities that can one shot silicons, fry any electronics, destroy any turfs and take down any non-living being, while creating rusted tiles and healing while standing on them. Rust also grants access to some pretty powerful spells, making it a difficulty middle ground. Ascending grants you unparalleled healing and survivability.
|-
!Path of Flesh
|Principle of Hunger
|The Path of Flesh focuses on resurrection and summoning player-controlled minions. Heretics on this path gain almost no offensive or defensive abilities and rely heavily on stockpiling corpses, but Flesh offers many fun and powerful tools to those who can make it to the end, making it the hardest path overall for inexperienced heretics. Ascending allows you to shed your human form and become something much greater.|}==Abilities==Below is a table with all your abilities. Upon choosing a path, you begin at the top of the tree, moving straight downwards; the first few abilities you unlock are thus based on your path. However, some abilities are located between paths, and can be unlocked by moving sideways once you're adjacent to them. With enough points, you can theoretically unlock all of these 'neutral' abilities, as well as dipping into other paths' abilities, but you can only ever unlock '''one Mark''' and '''one Blade/Steel''' ability, and you can only unlock '''the ascension that matches your starting path'''.

In the below tree, '''dark''' colored abilities can only be obtained by starting on the corresponding p
|-
!Path of Void
|Glimmer of Winter
|The Path of Void focuses on stealth, silence and the freezing cold. While the path offers very little utility early on, they quickly gain the ability to silence and freeze their victims, opening the window to silently ambush targets with no other items or chemicals required. It also offers full immunity to freezing temperatures, an invisible armored cloak (with pockets!), and later a targeted blink that damages anything nearby. The path has access to many strong transmuted items, but requires smart use to realize their full potential, making it moderately difficult but a good beginner choice. Ascending silences those around you and makes you the eye of a deadly blizzard.

==Tips==
*Unlike most other solo antagonists, Heretics start weak but grow stronger over time. It would be best not to attract too much attention to yourself until you unlock more powerful spells and equipment.
*Many unlockable transmutations require body parts or whole corpses. You can get these from your victims, as well as by raiding the Morgue, or with the correct access, turning monkeys into catatonic humans.
*Even if you never fight other heretics, you're inherently at odds with them. Each influence can only be harvested once, so the heretic that goes the fastest and grabs the most influences first has to do less killing and sacrificing to reach their ascensions.
*Your Mansus Grasp will temporarily garble the speech of people who you use it on. This can let you get away with murder while comms are online, but be careful - it's not foolproof!
*Influences can spawn in almost any location on the station, ranging from the main hallways and public restrooms to Command staff offices and restricted security areas in the Brig. It's best to check every area you can access, public and department.
*If you can't find any influences by peaking in windows, try getting to a Security Camera Console either breaking into a security post or by building your own. Simply cycle through the cameras and make note of any influences you see. Do watch your back while doing this, you don't want to be busted by an officer while you're distracted!
*As a heretic, access is more important than ever! The more areas you can easily access, the more influences you'll be able to snag. Getting all access can be a godsend, and knowing how to either hack or talk your way into other departments can help you beat other heretics to the free points.
*Drawing new runes requires you to stand still for a very long time. Draw your runes beforehand to avoid having to hold on to a body for much longer, and to leave quicker. You might not have time to draw a rune if Security is hot on your tail.
*The Mawed Crucible can be wrenched/unwrenched by using your Codex or your Mansus Grasp on it, allowing you to relocate if necessary.
*You can create two blades as most heretics, or three as flesh / five as blade. Carry an extra in your bag to break in case you need to escape from a sticky situation. You can also carry blades on your Eldritch Armor and Void Cloak!
*The Carving Knife, while useful for making defensive traps, is also a robust throwing weapon with high embed chance. Make a few of them for a good ranged weapon!
*Having Aristocrat's Way researched allows you to spacewalk with only a firefighting suit and helmet, as they are pressure resistant. Useful if your job doesn't have access to actual spacesuits/hardsuits.
*Entropic Plume causes any living mob caught in the plume to randomly strike other nearby mobs, which includes Beepsky and other Securitrons. Use sec's robot pets against them!
*Even after ascension, you aren't completely invincible. Don't get too hasty and end up eating a barrage of deadly lasers to the face.

* Pierced Realities cause harm to non-heretics depending on how you interact with them. Examining them as a non-heretic deals 10 brain damage. Interacting with them as a non-heretic has a 1/4 chance of your arm being eaten up by it. Interacting with them as a non-heretic using telekinesis will cause your head to literally explode in a very flashy manner.
* When starting out, you may want to rely on certain makeshift weapons. You can craft flashlight eyes for use in certain rituals, and create shivs by wrapping cloth (cut up bedsheets) around a shard of glass to transmute your blade.
* Live or die, victims you send to the shadow realm will never remember that you did it. This means that for avoiding detection, the most important thing is to make sure nobody ''else'' knows about you.
* Your Ritual of Knowledge is a great way to get a ton of points without drawing too much attention (probably.) Completing it as soon as possible is a good way to get a lot of power fast.
* By default, nothing on you is incriminating. If security suspects you, but can't actually pin anything heretical on you, you might be able to pass off as a Traitor instead.

* Monkeys, and monkey-humans (created by giving a monkey mutadone) make for great, usually non-suspicious sources of organs or corpses for your heretical rituals.
* Security about to check out your ritual hideout? Remember your grasp can instantly destroy a circle, leaving no evidence behind you were up to no good. But be careful - It'll go on cooldown after, and people may hear the cast sound.
* Remember that other players can hear your Living Heart, too. Don't use it in public unless people are distracted.
* Ashen Shift and Void Phase make for incredibly powerful escape tools. If you have either of these, it might be wise to have an Amber Focus somewhere on you at all times for emergencies.
* Fear the syringe gun. Mute Toxin will single-handedly shut down your ability to cast your spells.
* Summoning rituals can be incredibly powerful if you get a good player on your side.
* Most summoned monsters will drop the components used to create them on death. While having them to die is not ideal, you can easily grab the parts and summon another.
* As a rust heretic, fight in HARM intent, this will prevent accidentally using your mansus grasp on floors or walls.

----

As any student of Histories knows, the Mansus has no walls.

Mortals have classified the Mansus into three loosely-defined Paths.

Ash, Flesh, Void and Rust.

"''Forgotten, devoured, gutted. Humanity has forgotten the eldritch forces of decay, but the mansus veil has weakened. We will make them taste fear again...''"

So you're a heretic? Well, get ready for magic and battle. Grab influences, complete sacrifices, accomplish rituals, and ascend to godhood.
==The Mansus Veil Weakens==
You are a nasty little bookworm in search of truth and power, and you have arrived on a station ripe with opportunities. The ultimate goal of a heretic is to research knowledge of the Mansus. Every knowledge gained grants you new abilities and unlocks new rituals until you become all-powerful.

You can gain knowledge points and become stronger through a few ways:
* Harvest knowledge by draining pierces in reality located around the station of power
* Wait for new knowledge to be revealed to you over time
* Sacrificing crew members your dark patrons may hunger for.
To aid you in acquiring forbidden powers, you start with some important knowledge:
* '''Break of Dawn''', which grants you the [[File:mansus_grasp.gif]] '''Mansus Grasp''', a modular spell that, without upgrades, lets you touch a target to cause a short [[Status_Effects#Knockdown|knockdown]], 67 [[Health#Stamina|stamina damage]] and light brute damage, on a 10 second cooldown. As you grow in power, your Grasp will gain additional effects. This counts as magic, so don't try using it on anyone with [[Chaplain|anti-magic]].
* '''The Living Heart''', which grants you a [[file:heart.png]] '''Living Heart'''. This knowledge turns your ''actual'' heart (if your [[Plasmaman|species]] has one) into a Living Heart, which allows you to track your sacrifice targets. You gain the ability to '''pulse''' your Living Heart, which directs you to one of your sacrifice targets. {{Leftclick}} the action will let you chose which to track, while {{Rightclick}} will skip selection and track your last chosen target. Be careful - pulsing your heart will produce an audible heartbeat that people nearby may hear. If you lose your heart due ''[[Security_Officer|an accident]]'', you will need to complete a ritual to regain it.
* '''Amber Focus''', which allows you to create a Focus. Focuses are necessary in order for you to cast your more advanced spells, so try to keep one handy just in case.
All of these are critical to your ascension, so don't lose them, and keep them hidden from security!
* '''Heartbeat of the Mansus''', which allows you to sacrifice your targets to the Mansus. Bring one of your targets back to a rune in critical condition or dead and invoke the rune. This will send your sacrifice to the Shadow Realm and reward you with 2 knowledge points (or 3, if they're a head of staff!).
These basic knowledges are critical to acquiring enough power to ascend, so get familiar.
===[[file:heart.png]] Sacrificing===
The Mansus desires only a select few crewmembers at any moment.

At the start of the round you will be assigned four sacrifice targets. You can reroll these with an optional knowledge later on, but until then, you're stuck with those.
* One target will be a Head of Staff. Heads of staff are worth an additional point!
* One target will be a member of security.
* One target will be a member of your department.
* One target will be a completely random crewmember.
You will ONLY be able to sacrifice these targets. Your patrons will not accept just ''any'' old assistant.

Follow your [[file:heart.png]] '''Living Heart''' to your target of choice and incapacitate them through any means necessary.
If your target's in critical or dead, they're ready to sacrifice. Drag them over a [[File:heretic_rune.png|32px]] '''transmutation rune''' and invoke the rune to sacrifice them.

Whenever a target is sacrificed, they're healed up and sent to a SHADOW REALM, forced to dodge the Hands of the Mansus to fight for their survival. They'll also lose their memory of whoever sacrificed them, so your ass is covered on that front.

However, if you mess up the target something fierce and they're unable to be revived, they'll make a huge mess over your rune. Keep your sacrifices in good condition, or leave behind a large amount of evidence that you're on the hunt!
===[[file:reality_fracture.gif]] '''Influences'''===
'''Influences''' are the easy way to gain power points. Whenever there are heretics aboard Space Station 13, influences will randomly spawn across the station. In this state, influences are only visible to heretics. These are untapped and ripe for the picking.
{{Leftclick}} on an influence with an empty hand to harvest it, but be careful - anyone examining you may notice something's afoot.

After being harvested, the influence vanish temporarily. Soon after, it will reappear and change its appearance, becoming a '''pierced reality'''. More importantly, '''it will become visible to the entire crew.''' Influences can only be harvested once, so don't waste time trying to collect those that other heretics have already taken!

[[file:reality_fracture_harvested.gif]] (An already harvested influence. Notice the glow.)

Using a [[file:heretic_forbidden_book.png]] Codex Cicatrix to harvest an influence will reward double the knowledge points. Risk for reward!
===[[File:Codex open.png]] Heretical Research===
Once you have some power points, it's time to '''research'''! Open up your Antag Info UI (Action button, top left) and visit the second tab. The research menu forms a branching tree (see below), and your first selection will be to commit to a '''path''' that defines your initial abilities and final ascension. You can earn abilities from other paths to a limited degree, but overall your chosen path will heavily influence your play-style.

===[[File:heretic_rune.png|64px]] Transmutation is the Key===
Eventually, you'll need to start using proper magics. To draw a '''transmutation rune''', you'll need a writing tool, such as a pen or crayon. Activate [[File:mansus_grasp.gif]] '''Mansus Grasp''' in your offhand and click on the floor to begin drawing a rune. These runes are green and take up a 3x3 area, and while they can go under other objects, it's best to keep them clear for transmutation purposes.

You can remove runes by using your [[File:mansus_grasp.gif]] '''Mansus Grasp''' on it, and you can also freely use ''other'' heretics' runes.

To '''transmute''', simply click the rune with an empty hand while the appropriate object(s) are on top of it, making sure that nothing else is in the way. Transmutation Rituals allow you to create powerful artifacts, demonic monsters, and many useful tools that will help you progress towards ultimate power.

The [[file:heretic_forbidden_book.png]] Codex Cicatrix can also draw and remove runes, and does it as a faster rate than doing it by hand.
===Focus is Necessary===
To cast more advanced spells, you must be wearing a focus. A focus can be made by transmuting a glass sheet and a pair of eyes. '''This necklace must be worn''' to gain its effects.

Some more powerful heretic equipment also functions as a focus - Namely, the Ominous Armor from the Armorer's Ritual (when the hood is flipped up).
===[[file:heretic_blade.png]] '''Heretic Blade'''===
The '''Heretic Blade''' will be your first unlocked research. It can be created by transmuting a common knife or equivalent with a secondary ingredient based on your path, and serves as a powerful melee weapon, or broken to serve as one-use escape tool.

All paths have their own kind of blade, which only differ in appearance and name without any additional research. As with the [[File:mansus_grasp.gif]] '''Mansus Grasp''', your blade will be upgraded by your research over time. Said upgrades will differ depending on the path you choose.

You are limited in the amounts of blades you can create at a time - Ash, Void, and Rust limit you to two blades, and Flesh limits you to three. Try not to lose them!

Additionally, you can '''break''' your blade by activating it in-hand to teleport to a random, (mostly) safe location in a pinch. Better to lose your weapon and live another day than die fighting.
==Paths of The Mansus==
There are different aspects of the arcane to which you can devote yourself. While all rituals and spells can be learned, your first and most important choice will decide how your weapon [[file:heretic_blade.png]] and grasp [[file:mansus_grasp.gif]] will evolve, and how your final ascension will transform you.

|-
!Path of Ash
|Nightwatcher's secret
|The Path of Ash revolves around fire, mobility, crowd control and being a sneaky fucker that can jaunt while handcuffed. It grants the most forgiving abilities for a new heretic, such as the aforementioned jaunt and a potential mass heal, and is highly recommended for first-timers. It doesn't have the most powerful abilities until the later game, but it is still enjoyable. Ascending gives you the power to burn down the station in a living tornado of flame.
|-
!Path of Rust
|Blacksmith's Tale
|The Path of Rust is about healing, corruption and brute forcing through all obstacles, at the cost of stealth. Rust gives you abilities that can one shot silicons, fry any electronics, destroy any turfs and take down any non-living being, while creating rusted tiles and healing while standing on them. Rust also grants access to some pretty powerful spells, making it a difficulty middle ground. Ascending grants you unparalleled healing and survivability.
|-
!Path of Flesh
|Principle of Hunger
|The Path of Flesh focuses on resurrection and summoning player-controlled minions. Heretics on this path gain almost no offensive or defensive abilities and rely heavily on stockpiling corpses, but Flesh offers many fun and powerful tools to those who can make it to the end, making it the hardest path overall for inexperienced heretics. Ascending allows you to shed your human form and become something much greater.|}==Abilities==Below is a table with all your abilities. Upon choosing a path, you begin at the top of the tree, moving straight downwards; the first few abilities you unlock are thus based on your path. However, some abilities are located between paths, and can be unlocked by moving sideways once you're adjacent to them. With enough points, you can theoretically unlock all of these 'neutral' abilities, as well as dipping into other paths' abilities, but you can only ever unlock '''one Mark''' and '''one Blade/Steel''' ability, and you can only unlock '''the ascension that matches your starting path'''.

In the below tree, '''dark''' colored abilities can only be obtained by starting on the corresponding p|-
!Path of Void
|Glimmer of Winter
|The Path of Void focuses on stealth, silence and the freezing cold. While the path offers very little utility early on, they quickly gain the ability to silence and freeze their victims, opening the window to silently ambush targets with no other items or chemicals required. It also offers full immunity to freezing temperatures, an invisible armored cloak (with pockets!), and later a targeted blink that damages anything nearby. The path has access to many strong transmuted items, but requires smart use to realize their full potential, making it moderately difficult but a good beginner choice. Ascending silences those around you and makes you the eye of a deadly blizzard.

==Abilities==
Below is a table with all your abilities. Upon choosing a path, you begin at the top of the tree, moving straight downwards; the first few abilities you unlock are thus based on your path. However, some abilities are located between paths, and can be unlocked by moving sideways once you're adjacent to them. With enough points, you can theoretically unlock all of these 'neutral' abilities, as well as dipping into other paths' abilities, but you can only ever unlock '''one Mark''' and '''one Blade/Steel''' ability, and you can only unlock '''the ascension that matches your starting path'''.

In the below tree, '''dark''' colored abilities can only be obtained by starting on the corresponding path, '''green''' abilities are "neutral" abilities that you can use to cross paths, and '''light''' colored abilities can be earned by any path by first going through the neutral ones.

==Tips==
*Unlike most other solo antagonists, Heretics start weak but grow stronger over time. It would be best not to attract too much attention to yourself until you unlock more powerful spells and equipment.
*Many unlockable transmutations require body parts or whole corpses. You can get these from your victims, as well as by raiding the Morgue, or with the correct access, turning monkeys into catatonic humans.
*Even if you never fight other heretics, you're inherently at odds with them. Each influence can only be harvested once, so the heretic that goes the fastest and grabs the most influences first has to do less killing and sacrificing to reach their ascensions.
*Your Mansus Grasp will temporarily garble the speech of people who you use it on. This can let you get away with murder while comms are online, but be careful - it's not foolproof!
*Influences can spawn in almost any location on the station, ranging from the main hallways and public restrooms to Command staff offices and restricted security areas in the Brig. It's best to check every area you can access, public and department.
*If you can't find any influences by peaking in windows, try getting to a Security Camera Console either breaking into a security post or by building your own. Simply cycle through the cameras and make note of any influences you see. Do watch your back while doing this, you don't want to be busted by an officer while you're distracted!
*As a heretic, access is more important than ever! The more areas you can easily access, the more influences you'll be able to snag. Getting all access can be a godsend, and knowing how to either hack or talk your way into other departments can help you beat other heretics to the free points.
*Drawing new runes requires you to stand still for a very long time. Draw your runes beforehand to avoid having to hold on to a body for much longer, and to leave quicker. You might not have time to draw a rune if Security is hot on your tail.
*The Mawed Crucible can be wrenched/unwrenched by using your Codex or your Mansus Grasp on it, allowing you to relocate if necessary.
*You can create two blades as most heretics, or three as flesh / five as blade. Carry an extra in your bag to break in case you need to escape from a sticky situation. You can also carry blades on your Eldritch Armor and Void Cloak!
*The Carving Knife, while useful for making defensive traps, is also a robust throwing weapon with high embed chance. Make a few of them for a good ranged weapon!
*Having Aristocrat's Way researched allows you to spacewalk with only a firefighting suit and helmet, as they are pressure resistant. Useful if your job doesn't have access to actual spacesuits/hardsuits.
*Entropic Plume causes any living mob caught in the plume to randomly strike other nearby mobs, which includes Beepsky and other Securitrons. Use sec's robot pets against them!
*Even after ascension, you aren't completely invincible. Don't get too hasty and end up eating a barrage of deadly lasers to the face.

* Pierced Realities cause harm to non-heretics depending on how you interact with them. Examining them as a non-heretic deals 10 brain damage. Interacting with them as a non-heretic has a 1/4 chance of your arm being eaten up by it. Interacting with them as a non-heretic using telekinesis will cause your head to literally explode in a very flashy manner.
* When starting out, you may want to rely on certain makeshift weapons. You can craft flashlight eyes for use in certain rituals, and create shivs by wrapping cloth (cut up bedsheets) around a shard of glass to transmute your blade.
* Live or die, victims you send to the shadow realm will never remember that you did it. This means that for avoiding detection, the most important thing is to make sure nobody ''else'' knows about you.
* Your Ritual of Knowledge is a great way to get a ton of points without drawing too much attention (probably.) Completing it as soon as possible is a good way to get a lot of power fast.
* By default, nothing on you is incriminating. If security suspects you, but can't actually pin anything heretical on you, you might be able to pass off as a Traitor instead.

* Monkeys, and monkey-humans (created by giving a monkey mutadone) make for great, usually non-suspicious sources of organs or corpses for your heretical rituals.
* Security about to check out your ritual hideout? Remember your grasp can instantly destroy a circle, leaving no evidence behind you were up to no good. But be careful - It'll go on cooldown after, and people may hear the cast sound.
* Remember that other players can hear your Living Heart, too. Don't use it in public unless people are distracted.
* Ashen Shift and Void Phase make for incredibly powerful escape tools. If you have either of these, it might be wise to have an Amber Focus somewhere on you at all times for emergencies.
* Fear the syringe gun. Mute Toxin will single-handedly shut down your ability to cast your spells.
* Summoning rituals can be incredibly powerful if you get a good player on your side.
* Most summoned monsters will drop the components used to create them on death. While having them to die is not ideal, you can easily grab the parts and summon another.
* As a rust heretic, fight in HARM intent, this will prevent accidentally using your mansus grasp on floors or walls.

As any student of Histories knows, the Mansus has no walls.

Mortals have classified the Mansus into three loosely-defined Paths.

Ash, Flesh, Void and Rust.

You are a nasty little bookworm in search of truth and power, and you have arrived on a station ripe with opportunities. The ultimate goal of a heretic is to research knowledge of the Mansus. Every knowledge gained grants you new abilities and unlocks new rituals until you become all-powerful.

You can gain knowledge points and become stronger through a few ways:
* Harvest knowledge by draining pierces in reality located around the station of power
* Wait for new knowledge to be revealed to you over time
* Sacrificing crew members your dark patrons may hunger for.
To aid you in acquiring forbidden powers, you start with some important knowledge:
* '''Break of Dawn''', which grants you the [[File:mansus_grasp.gif]] '''Mansus Grasp''', a modular spell that, without upgrades, lets you touch a target to cause a short [[Status_Effects#Knockdown|knockdown]], 67 [[Health#Stamina|stamina damage]] and light brute damage, on a 10 second cooldown. As you grow in power, your Grasp will gain additional effects. This counts as magic, so don't try using it on anyone with [[Chaplain|anti-magic]].
* '''The Living Heart''', which grants you a [[file:heart.png]] '''Living Heart'''. This knowledge turns your ''actual'' heart (if your [[Plasmaman|species]] has one) into a Living Heart, which allows you to track your sacrifice targets. You gain the ability to '''pulse''' your Living Heart, which directs you to one of your sacrifice targets. {{Leftclick}} the action will let you chose which to track, while {{Rightclick}} will skip selection and track your last chosen target. Be careful - pulsing your heart will produce an audible heartbeat that people nearby may hear. If you lose your heart due ''[[Security_Officer|an accident]]'', you will need to complete a ritual to regain it.
* '''Amber Focus''', which allows you to create a Focus. Focuses are necessary in order for you to cast your more advanced spells, so try to keep one handy just in case.
All of these are critical to your ascension, so don't lose them, and keep them hidden from security!
* '''Heartbeat of the Mansus''', which allows you to sacrifice your targets to the Mansus. Bring one of your targets back to a rune in critical condition or dead and invoke the rune. This will send your sacrifice to the Shadow Realm and reward you with 2 knowledge points (or 3, if they're a head of staff!).
These basic knowledges are critical to acquiring enough power to ascend, so get familiar.
===[[file:heart.png]] Sacrificing===
The Mansus desires only a select few crewmembers at any moment.

At the start of the round you will be assigned four sacrifice targets. You can reroll these with an optional knowledge later on, but until then, you're stuck with those.
* One target will be a Head of Staff. Heads of staff are worth an additional point!
* One target will be a member of security.
* One target will be a member of your department.
* One target will be a completely random crewmember.
You will ONLY be able to sacrifice these targets. Your patrons will not accept just ''any'' old assistant.

Follow your [[file:heart.png]] '''Living Heart''' to your target of choice and incapacitate them through any means necessary.
If your target's in critical or dead, they're ready to sacrifice. Drag them over a [[File:heretic_rune.png|32px]] '''transmutation rune''' and invoke the rune to sacrifice them.

Whenever a target is sacrificed, they're healed up and sent to a SHADOW REALM, forced to dodge the Hands of the Mansus to fight for their survival. They'll also lose their memory of whoever sacrificed them, so your ass is covered on that front.

However, if you mess up the target something fierce and they're unable to be revived, they'll make a huge mess over your rune. Keep your sacrifices in good condition, or leave behind a large amount of evidence that you're on the hunt!
===[[file:reality_fracture.gif]] '''Influences'''===
'''Influences''' are the easy way to gain power points. Whenever there are heretics aboard Space Station 13, influences will randomly spawn across the station. In this state, influences are only visible to heretics. These are untapped and ripe for the picking.
{{Leftclick}} on an influence with an empty hand to harvest it, but be careful - anyone examining you may notice something's afoot.

After being harvested, the influence vanish temporarily. Soon after, it will reappear and change its appearance, becoming a '''pierced reality'''. More importantly, '''it will become visible to the entire crew.''' Influences can only be harvested once, so don't waste time trying to collect those that other heretics have already taken!

[[file:reality_fracture_harvested.gif]] (An already harvested influence. Notice the glow.)

Using a [[file:heretic_forbidden_book.png]] Codex Cicatrix to harvest an influence will reward double the knowledge points. Risk for reward!
===[[File:Codex open.png]] Heretical Research===
Once you have some power points, it's time to '''research'''! Open up your Antag Info UI (Action button, top left) and visit the second tab. The research menu forms a branching tree (see below), and your first selection will be to commit to a '''path''' that defines your initial abilities and final ascension. You can earn abilities from other paths to a limited degree, but overall your chosen path will heavily influence your play-style.

===[[File:heretic_rune.png|64px]] Transmutation is the Key===
Eventually, you'll need to start using proper magics. To draw a '''transmutation rune''', you'll need a writing tool, such as a pen or crayon. Activate [[File:mansus_grasp.gif]] '''Mansus Grasp''' in your offhand and click on the floor to begin drawing a rune. These runes are green and take up a 3x3 area, and while they can go under other objects, it's best to keep them clear for transmutation purposes.

You can remove runes by using your [[File:mansus_grasp.gif]] '''Mansus Grasp''' on it, and you can also freely use ''other'' heretics' runes.

To '''transmute''', simply click the rune with an empty hand while the appropriate object(s) are on top of it, making sure that nothing else is in the way. Transmutation Rituals allow you to create powerful artifacts, demonic monsters, and many useful tools that will help you progress towards ultimate power.

The [[file:heretic_forbidden_book.png]] Codex Cicatrix can also draw and remove runes, and does it as a faster rate than doing it by hand.
===Focus is Necessary===
To cast more advanced spells, you must be wearing a focus. A focus can be made by transmuting a glass sheet and a pair of eyes. '''This necklace must be worn''' to gain its effects.

Some more powerful heretic equipment also functions as a focus - Namely, the Ominous Armor from the Armorer's Ritual (when the hood is flipped up).
===[[file:heretic_blade.png]] '''Heretic Blade'''===
The '''Heretic Blade''' will be your first unlocked research. It can be created by transmuting a common knife or equivalent with a secondary ingredient based on your path, and serves as a powerful melee weapon, or broken to serve as one-use escape tool.

All paths have their own kind of blade, which only differ in appearance and name without any additional research. As with the [[File:mansus_grasp.gif]] '''Mansus Grasp''', your blade will be upgraded by your research over time. Said upgrades will differ depending on the path you choose.

You are limited in the amounts of blades you can create at a time - Ash, Void, and Rust limit you to two blades, and Flesh limits you to three. Try not to lose them!

Additionally, you can '''break''' your blade by activating it in-hand to teleport to a random, (mostly) safe location in a pinch. Better to lose your weapon and live another day than die fighting.
==Paths of The Mansus==
There are different aspects of the arcane to which you can devote yourself. While all rituals and spells can be learned, your first and most important choice will decide how your weapon [[file:heretic_blade.png]] and grasp [[file:mansus_grasp.gif]] will evolve, and how your final ascension will transform you.

|-
!Path of Ash
|Nightwatcher's secret
|The Path of Ash revolves around fire, mobility, crowd control and being a sneaky fucker that can jaunt while handcuffed. It grants the most forgiving abilities for a new heretic, such as the aforementioned jaunt and a potential mass heal, and is highly recommended for first-timers. It doesn't have the most powerful abilities until the later game, but it is still enjoyable. Ascending gives you the power to burn down the station in a living tornado of flame.
|-
!Path of Rust
|Blacksmith's Tale
|The Path of Rust is about healing, corruption and brute forcing through all obstacles, at the cost of stealth. Rust gives you abilities that can one shot silicons, fry any electronics, destroy any turfs and take down any non-living being, while creating rusted tiles and healing while standing on them. Rust also grants access to some pretty powerful spells, making it a difficulty middle ground. Ascending grants you unparalleled healing and survivability.
|-
!Path of Flesh
|Principle of Hunger
|The Path of Flesh focuses on resurrection and summoning player-controlled minions. Heretics on this path gain almost no offensive or defensive abilities and rely heavily on stockpiling corpses, but Flesh offers many fun and powerful tools to those who can make it to the end, making it the hardest path overall for inexperienced heretics. Ascending allows you to shed your human form and become something much greater.
|}
==Abilities==
Below is a table with all your abilities. Upon choosing a path, you begin at the top of the tree, moving straight downwards; the first few abilities you unlock are thus based on your path. However, some abilities are located between paths, and can be unlocked by moving sideways once you're adjacent to them. With enough points, you can theoretically unlock all of these 'neutral' abilities, as well as dipping into other paths' abilities, but you can only ever unlock '''one Mark''' and '''one Blade/Steel''' ability, and you can only unlock '''the ascension that matches your starting path'''.

In the below tree, '''dark''' colored abilities can only be obtained by starting on the corresponding path, '''green''' abilities are "neutral" abilities that you can use to cross paths, and '''light''' colored abilities can be earned by any path by first going through the neutral ones.

==Tips==
*Remember that you first need to get a target before you can do any sacrificing... to get a target use your living heart to identify and track them then bring them in any condition to a rune.(people seem to think you can just sacrifice anybody you kill)
*You may reroll your targets with a certain ritual.
*If you ever lose your Codex, you can transmute a new one by combining a bible, human skin, a pen and a pair of eyes.
*If you ever lose your Living Heart, you can transmute a new one by combining a normal heart, a poppy (check the chapel!) and a blood splatter.
*If your transmutations are failing, make sure your codex is on your person!
*Many unlockable transmutations require body parts or whole corpses. You can get these from your victims, as well as by raiding the Morgue, or with the correct access, turning monkeys into catatonic humans.
*A Knife counts as any of the following items: Kitchen knife, Bone dagger, Survival Knife, Combat knife, Carrot shiv, Butchers cleaver, Venom knife, Ritual knife and shank. Any of them can be used to create your heretic blade.
*Even if you never fight other heretics, you're inherently at odds with them. Each influence can only be harvested once, so the heretic that goes the fastest and grabs the most influences first has to do less killing and sacrificing to reach their ascensions.
*As a heretic, access is more important than ever! The more areas you can easily access, the more influences you'll be able to snag. Getting all access can be a godsend, and knowing how to either hack or talk your way into other departments can help you beat other heretics to the free points.
*Even after ascension, you aren't completely invincible. Don't get too hasty and end up eating a barrage of deadly lasers to the face.
*Silicons are unable to see your powers and Influences, use this to your advantage.

As any student of Histories knows, the Mansus has no walls.

Mortals have classified the Mansus into three loosely-defined Paths.

Ash, Flesh, Void and Rust.

"''Forgotten, devoured, gutted. Humanity has forgotten the eldritch forces of decay, but the mansus veil has weakened. We will make them taste fear again...''"

So you're a heretic? Well, get ready for magic and battle. Grab influences, complete sacrifices, accomplish rituals, and ascend to godhood.
==The Mansus Veil Weakens==
You are a nasty little bookworm in search of truth and power, and you have arrived on a station ripe with opportunities. The ultimate goal of a heretic is to research knowledge of the Mansus. Every knowledge gained grants you new abilities and unlocks new rituals until you become all-powerful.

You can gain knowledge points and become stronger through a few ways:
* Harvest knowledge by draining pierces in reality located around the station of power
* Wait for new knowledge to be revealed to you over time
* Sacrificing crew members your dark patrons may hunger for.
To aid you in acquiring forbidden powers, you start with some important knowledge:
* '''Break of Dawn''', which grants you the [[File:mansus_grasp.gif]] '''Mansus Grasp''', a modular spell that, without upgrades, lets you touch a target to cause a short [[Status_Effects#Knockdown|knockdown]], 67 [[Health#Stamina|stamina damage]] and light brute damage, on a 10 second cooldown. As you grow in power, your Grasp will gain additional effects. This counts as magic, so don't try using it on anyone with [[Chaplain|anti-magic]].
* '''The Living Heart''', which grants you a [[file:heart.png]] '''Living Heart'''. This knowledge turns your ''actual'' heart (if your [[Plasmaman|species]] has one) into a Living Heart, which allows you to track your sacrifice targets. You gain the ability to '''pulse''' your Living Heart, which directs you to one of your sacrifice targets. {{Leftclick}} the action will let you chose which to track, while {{Rightclick}} will skip selection and track your last chosen target. Be careful - pulsing your heart will produce an audible heartbeat that people nearby may hear. If you lose your heart due ''[[Security_Officer|an accident]]'', you will need to complete a ritual to regain it.
* '''Amber Focus''', which allows you to create a Focus. Focuses are necessary in order for you to cast your more advanced spells, so try to keep one handy just in case.
All of these are critical to your ascension, so don't lose them, and keep them hidden from security!
* '''Heartbeat of the Mansus''', which allows you to sacrifice your targets to the Mansus. Bring one of your targets back to a rune in critical condition or dead and invoke the rune. This will send your sacrifice to the Shadow Realm and reward you with 2 knowledge points (or 3, if they're a head of staff!).
These basic knowledges are critical to acquiring enough power to ascend, so get familiar.
===[[file:heart.png]] Sacrificing===
The Mansus desires only a select few crewmembers at any moment.

At the start of the round you will be assigned four sacrifice targets. You can reroll these with an optional knowledge later on, but until then, you're stuck with those.
* One target will be a Head of Staff. Heads of staff are worth an additional point!
* One target will be a member of security.
* One target will be a member of your department.
* One target will be a completely random crewmember.
You will ONLY be able to sacrifice these targets. Your patrons will not accept just ''any'' old assistant.

Follow your [[file:heart.png]] '''Living Heart''' to your target of choice and incapacitate them through any means necessary.
If your target's in critical or dead, they're ready to sacrifice. Drag them over a [[File:heretic_rune.png|32px]] '''transmutation rune''' and invoke the rune to sacrifice them.

Whenever a target is sacrificed, they're healed up and sent to a SHADOW REALM, forced to dodge the Hands of the Mansus to fight for their survival. They'll also lose their memory of whoever sacrificed them, so your ass is covered on that front.

However, if you mess up the target something fierce and they're unable to be revived, they'll make a huge mess over your rune. Keep your sacrifices in good condition, or leave behind a large amount of evidence that you're on the hunt!
===[[file:reality_fracture.gif]] '''Influences'''===
'''Influences''' are the easy way to gain power points. Whenever there are heretics aboard Space Station 13, influences will randomly spawn across the station. In this state, influences are only visible to heretics. These are untapped and ripe for the picking.
{{Leftclick}} on an influence with an empty hand to harvest it, but be careful - anyone examining you may notice something's afoot.

After being harvested, the influence vanish temporarily. Soon after, it will reappear and change its appearance, becoming a '''pierced reality'''. More importantly, '''it will become visible to the entire crew.''' Influences can only be harvested once, so don't waste time trying to collect those that other heretics have already taken!

[[file:reality_fracture_harvested.gif]] (An already harvested influence. Notice the glow.)

Using a [[file:heretic_forbidden_book.png]] Codex Cicatrix to harvest an influence will reward double the knowledge points. Risk for reward!
===[[File:Codex open.png]] Heretical Research===
Once you have some power points, it's time to '''research'''! Open up your Antag Info UI (Action button, top left) and visit the second tab. The research menu forms a branching tree (see below), and your first selection will be to commit to a '''path''' that defines your initial abilities and final ascension. You can earn abilities from other paths to a limited degree, but overall your chosen path will heavily influence your play-style.

===[[File:heretic_rune.png|64px]] Transmutation is the Key===
Eventually, you'll need to start using proper magics. To draw a '''transmutation rune''', you'll need a writing tool, such as a pen or crayon. Activate [[File:mansus_grasp.gif]] '''Mansus Grasp''' in your offhand and click on the floor to begin drawing a rune. These runes are green and take up a 3x3 area, and while they can go under other objects, it's best to keep them clear for transmutation purposes.

You can remove runes by using your [[File:mansus_grasp.gif]] '''Mansus Grasp''' on it, and you can also freely use ''other'' heretics' runes.

To '''transmute''', simply click the rune with an empty hand while the appropriate object(s) are on top of it, making sure that nothing else is in the way. Transmutation Rituals allow you to create powerful artifacts, demonic monsters, and many useful tools that will help you progress towards ultimate power.

The [[file:heretic_forbidden_book.png]] Codex Cicatrix can also draw and remove runes, and does it as a faster rate than doing it by hand.
===Focus is Necessary===
To cast more advanced spells, you must be wearing a focus. A focus can be made by transmuting a glass sheet and a pair of eyes. '''This necklace must be worn''' to gain its effects.

Some more powerful heretic equipment also functions as a focus - Namely, the Ominous Armor from the Armorer's Ritual (when the hood is flipped up).
===[[file:heretic_blade.png]] '''Heretic Blade'''===
The '''Heretic Blade''' will be your first unlocked research. It can be created by transmuting a common knife or equivalent with a secondary ingredient based on your path, and serves as a powerful melee weapon, or broken to serve as one-use escape tool.

All paths have their own kind of blade, which only differ in appearance and name without any additional research. As with the [[File:mansus_grasp.gif]] '''Mansus Grasp''', your blade will be upgraded by your research over time. Said upgrades will differ depending on the path you choose.

You are limited in the amounts of blades you can create at a time - Ash, Void, and Rust limit you to two blades, and Flesh limits you to three. Try not to lose them!

Additionally, you can '''break''' your blade by activating it in-hand to teleport to a random, (mostly) safe location in a pinch. Better to lose your weapon and live another day than die fighting.
==Paths of The Mansus==
There are different aspects of the arcane to which you can devote yourself. While all rituals and spells can be learned, your first and most important choice will decide how your weapon [[file:heretic_blade.png]] and grasp [[file:mansus_grasp.gif]] will evolve, and how your final ascension will transform you.

! style="background-color:green" width='140px'|Name
! style="background-color:green" width='830px'|Description
|-
!Path of Ash
|Nightwatcher's secret
|The Path of Ash revolves around fire, mobility, crowd control and being a sneaky fucker that can jaunt while handcuffed. It grants the most forgiving abilities for a new heretic, such as the aforementioned jaunt and a potential mass heal, and is highly recommended for first-timers. It doesn't have the most powerful abilities until the later game, but it is still enjoyable. Ascending gives you the power to burn down the station in a living tornado of flame.
|-
!Path of Rust
|Blacksmith's Tale
|The Path of Rust is about healing, corruption and brute forcing through all obstacles, at the cost of stealth. Rust gives you abilities that can one shot silicons, fry any electronics, destroy any turfs and take down any non-living being, while creating rusted tiles and healing while standing on them. Rust also grants access to some pretty powerful spells, making it a difficulty middle ground. Ascending grants you unparalleled healing and survivability.
|-
!Path of Flesh
|Principle of Hunger
|The Path of Flesh focuses on resurrection and summoning player-controlled minions. Heretics on this path gain almost no offensive or defensive abilities and rely heavily on stockpiling corpses, but Flesh offers many fun and powerful tools to those who can make it to the end, making it the hardest path overall for inexperienced heretics. Ascending allows you to shed your human form and become something much greater.
|}
==Abilities==
Below is a table with all your abilities. Upon choosing a path, you begin at the top of the tree, moving straight downwards; the first few abilities you unlock are thus based on your path. However, some abilities are located between paths, and can be unlocked by moving sideways once you're adjacent to them. With enough points, you can theoretically unlock all of these 'neutral' abilities, as well as dipping into other paths' abilities, but you can only ever unlock '''one Mark''' and '''one Blade/Steel''' ability, and you can only unlock '''the ascension that matches your starting path'''.

In the below tree, '''dark''' colored abilities can only be obtained by starting on the corresponding path, '''green''' abilities are "neutral" abilities that you can use to cross paths, and '''light''' colored abilities can be earned by any path by first going through the neutral ones.

==Tips==
*Remember that you first need to get a target before you can do any sacrificing... to get a target use your living heart to identify and track them then bring them in any condition to a rune.(people seem to think you can just sacrifice anybody you kill)
*You may reroll your targets with a certain ritual.
*If you ever lose your Codex, you can transmute a new one by combining a bible, human skin, a pen and a pair of eyes.
*If you ever lose your Living Heart, you can transmute a new one by combining a normal heart, a poppy (check the chapel!) and a blood splatter.
*If your transmutations are failing, make sure your codex is on your person!
*Many unlockable transmutations require body parts or whole corpses. You can get these from your victims, as well as by raiding the Morgue, or with the correct access, turning monkeys into catatonic humans.
*A Knife counts as any of the following items: Kitchen knife, Bone dagger, Survival Knife, Combat knife, Carrot shiv, Butchers cleaver, Venom knife, Ritual knife and shank. Any of them can be used to create your heretic blade.
*Even if you never fight other heretics, you're inherently at odds with them. Each influence can only be harvested once, so the heretic that goes the fastest and grabs the most influences first has to do less killing and sacrificing to reach their ascensions.
*As a heretic, access is more important than ever! The more areas you can easily access, the more influences you'll be able to snag. Getting all access can be a godsend, and knowing how to either hack or talk your way into other departments can help you beat other heretics to the free points.
*Even after ascension, you aren't completely invincible. Don't get too hasty and end up eating a barrage of deadly lasers to the face.
*Silicons are unable to see your powers and Influences, use this to your advantage.

Guide to chemistry

2023-08-08T22:10:36Z

Lowwy: I think this chem was mostly replaced by Epinephrine, but it's still in the game so should be in the wiki aswell?

This guide will primarily be useful for [[Chemist|chemists]] and [[Botanist|Botanists]] using [[Guide to hydroponics#Strange Seeds|Strange Seeds]] but may come in handy to any player and especially [[Traitor|traitors]].
= Chemicals =
The building blocks of chemistry are aluminium, bromine, carbon, chlorine, copper, ethanol, fluorine, hydrogen, iodine, iron, lithium, mercury, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus, potassium, radium, silicon, silver, sodium, stable plasma, sugar, sulfur, sulfuric acid, water and welding fuel. These can be produced from the [[Chem Dispenser]] in [[Chemistry]].

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.

Grinding minerals from mining will also get you:
* [[Plasma]]
* Uranium
[[Emag|Emagging]] a chem dispenser will add:
* Space Drugs
* Morphine
* Toxin
* Carpotoxin
* Miner's Salve
The [[Vending_machines#Medbay|NanoMed Plus]] is your main source of generic toxin when hacked.

Some chemical reactions will require you to heat the reagents in a [[File:Chemical_Heater.png]] '''Chemical Heater'''. This machine will heat a beaker to the desired temperature, slowing down the heating speed as it approaches the target temperature. If you don't risk making the chemical explode by overheating it (such as Meth) you can just set it to a very high temperature to avoid this.

== Machinery ==
You have all sorts of chems here, and can make many things. You can make [[#Medicines|medicines]], [[#Smoke|smoke]], [[#Fluorosurfactant|foam]], [[#Flash Powder|flash powder]], [[#Toxins|poisons]], [[#Space Lube|space lube]], [[#Fluorosulfuric Acid|acid]] and 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, as 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.

=== [[File:Dispenser.png|Chem Dispenser]] Chemistry Dispensers ===
[[Chem Dispenser|Chem dispensers]] can be upgraded to unlock more chemicals, allow for more precise macro usage, increased power recharge rate and higher power capacity. If you run out of power, you can disassemble the dispenser with screwdriver+crowbar and rebuild it by first putting the circuit board back, and then all other things but use a full power cell [[File:High power cell updated.png]] instead of the old one. Then screwdriver to finish. Or you can charge the machine with an [[inducer]] [[File:Inducer.png]].

=== [[File:Chemical_Heater.png|Chemical Heater]] Chemical Heater ===
Some chemical reactions will require you to heat the reagents in a [[Chemical Heater]]. Unless the recipes says otherwise, these reactions need you to heat the reagents ''above'' the required temperature.
This machine will heat/cool a beaker to the desired temperature, slowing down the heating/cooling speed as it approaches the target temperature. If you don't risk making the chemical explode by overheating it (like with [[#Methamphetamine|meth]]) you can just set it to a very high temperature to avoid this. '''Due to a rounding bug you sometimes need to heat chems 1 degree higher than the recipe says.''' 
Upgrading the laser will increase the heating/cooling speed.
=== [[File:Chemmaster.gif|ChemMaster 3000]] ChemMaster 3000 ===
Separates, bottles, and makes pills/patches out of chemicals loaded inside. You can load pretty much any container - beakers, spray bottles, water bottles and so on. 
Maximum size for dispensed bottles is 30u, patches 40u and pills 50u. Use a chemistry bag [[File:Chemistry_bag.png]] to quickly move large quantities of bottles, patches or pills. 
Can be upgraded with bigger beakers to allow a bigger buffer. By default it contains two ordinary 50u beakers for a total buffer volume of 100u.
=== [[File:Blender.png|Reagent Grinder]] All-In-One Grinder ===
Grinds, crushes, liquefies and extracts reagents from materials placed into it. 
If there is a significant reagent associated with the item, the Reagent grinder will distill a pure sample inside the collection beaker. 
For example: Plasma/gold/uranium/metal sheets, donk pockets, fruits, dead mice.
=== [[File:Smoke_machine.png|Smoke Machine]] Smoke Machine ===
Dispenses any chemical inside as a [[#Smoke|smoke]] cloud. Needs to be secured by wrenching first. 
A great alternative to [[#Smoke|smoke]] [[Grenade|grenades]], but easily incites lynch mobs. 
Can only be obtained through the circuit board being printed, and the required parts being assembled first.

==Metabolism==
When a reagent enters a body, it will then "tick" or "cycle" about every 2 seconds (these are called "life ticks", and are not to be confused with server ticks/tickrate). When this happens the body is purged of an amount of every reagent depending on their metabolism rates. This is the rate at which the chemical disappears from your body. It doesn't matter how many chems you have in your body, as they are all metabolized separately. If you are [[Guide_to_food_and_drinks#Hunger|hungry]] (sluggish), this will happen 20% slower, which makes chemicals have a bigger total effect since they last longer without being weaker per tick. Many mobs are "simplemobs" which means they don't have bloodstreams and can thus not be poisoned, sedated or healed with medicine. Monkeys and most playable humanoids are the exceptions to this.

==Active Pure Chemicals==
A.K.A. what happens when you eat or splash these. Their metabolism rate is 0.4u per cycle unless said otherwise. Unmentioned dispensable chemicals don't have any effects. Plasma and uranium requires you to grind mineral sheets to acquire.
*'''Chlorine''': Causes {{dmgs|q|1 brute damage}} per tick to a random body part.
*'''Copper''': Can be splashed on metal sheets to create bronze sheets.
*{{anchor|Ethanol}}'''Ethanol''': A decent alcoholic "beverage", with a [[Guide_to_food_and_drinks#Drinks|booze power]] of 65. Increases success rate of [[Surgery|surgery]] and flammability when applied externally. Metabolism rate 0.2.
*'''Fluorine''': Causes {{dmgs|e|1 toxin damage}} per tick.
*'''Iron''': Slowly restores blood volume.
*'''Lithium''': Causes twitching, drooling, moaning and not being able to walk straight.
*'''Mercury''': Causes 1 brain damage per tick, twitching, drooling, moaning and not being able to walk straight.
*'''[[Plasma]]''': Causes {{dmgs|e|3 toxin damage}} per tick. Creates gas form plasma when spilled or heated to 323.15K (50°C). Not to be confused with Stable Plasma, which does nothing.
*'''Radium''': Slowly causes irradiation (2 per tick). Creates glowing green goo on floor if more than 3u is spilled.
*'''Sugar''': Gives nutrition. Causes hyperglycemic shock if overdosed (200u). Metabolism rate 0.8.
*'''Sulfuric Acid''': Causes {{dmgs|e|1 toxin damage}} and {{dmgs|q|some instant brute damage}} to one body part when ingested, and slightly more {{dmgs|q|brute damage}} when ''injected''. Destroys head-wear and causes {{dmgs|w|burn damage}} when sprayed or splashed on someone. Counts as a [[#Toxins|toxin]].
*'''Uranium''': Causes slight (1 per tick) irradiation. Creates glowing green goo on floor if more than 3u is spilled.
*'''Welding Fuel''': Causes {{dmgs|e|1 toxin damage}} per tick. Makes people flammable if splashed on.
== Components ==
These are very basic chemicals that you'll use in a lot of other more complicated chems. They can still be toxic, though.

===Core Healing Medicines===
These healing drugs form the "core" drugs used to heal the most common forms of damage. All other medical drugs outside of this section are either harder to make upgrades, or highly specific forms of healing for rarer situations.

=== Superior Healing Medicines===
These healing drugs are harder to make than the core healing drugs, however they are significantly better at healing.

Also, many upgraded drugs can be overdosed with, leading to a negative outcome. Be sure to monitor how many units of chemicals someone is injected with.

==Narcotics==
Narcotics are highly addicitve drugs that can aggressively, or passively, provide a benefit. Be wary as its very easy to become addicted, or overdose, on a narcotic.

As a general rule of thumb, the more of a positive effect (or any effect) a narcotic can provide, the easier it is to get addicted or overdose on it.

People who overdose or get addicted to Narcotics tend to usually end up dying to the negative effects or requiring immedient medical attention. Take in moderation.

==Reagent Delivery{{anchor|Reagent Delivery}}==
{{anchor|Under_the_hood}}There are different ways you can apply chemicals to a person or the environment.

===Delivery types===
First of all, there are actually 5 types of delivery, called '''ingest''', '''inject''', '''vapor''', '''touch''' and '''patch'''. If you are not interested in the details, you can skip to [[#Smoke_vs_foam|Smoke vs Foam vs others]]. 
====Ingest====
Ingest and '''inject'''{{anchor|Inject}} both usually do the exact same thing. The reagent simply enters the target's bloodstream. Used by pills, cigarettes, e-cigarettes, inhaling [[#Smoke|smoke]] and drinking the reagent directly.
====Inject====
Works the same as '''ingest''', where the reagent simply enters the target's bloodstream. Used by syringes and IV-drips.
====Vapor====
Vapor is used by (ranged) spray bottles and [[#Fluorosurfactant|foam]]. A portion of the reagents will enter the bloodstream of the target, but clothes will protect from some/most/all of it depending on clothing. Any hardsuit typically makes the target completely immune to getting it into their bloodstream, if the helmet is closed. But if the reagent has a "vapor" based component, that component will still affect the target, like [[#Fluorosulfuric Acid|Fluorosulfuric Acid]]. See more about [[#Fluorosurfactant|foam]] [[#Smoke_vs_foam|below]], with examples.
====Touch====
Touch is used by [[#Smoke|smoke]] and splashing. If the reagent has a "touch" based component, that component will affect the target (such as the instant heal part of [[#Synthflesh|Synthflesh]]), without being blocked by clothing. Nothing at all will enter the target's bloodstream, with the exception of smoke if the target has no internals on. Currently all "touch" components are also "patch" components. See more on [[#Smoke|smoke]] [[#Smoke_vs_foam|below]], with examples.
==== Patch====
Patch is used by patches and medical gels. The reagent enters the target's bloodstream entirely AND if the reagent has a "patch" based component, that component will affect the target. Currently all "patch" components are also "touch" components.
=== Smoke vs foam vs others===
These are the major practical differences between pills, syringes, patches, cigarettes, [[#Smoke|smoke]], [[#Fluorosurfactant|foam]], splash and spray. 
====Pills====
Pills can be instantly [[#Ingest|ingested]] if used on yourself. It doesn't work if mouth is covered. [[Plasmaman|Plasmamen]] will have trouble taking these. Holds up to 50u. 
==== Syringes====
Syringes can inject into people even with their mouths covered, either by hand or with a syringe gun. It doesn't work on players wearing hardsuits or other pierce-immune clothing, unless you use a piercing syringe or manage to aim for an exposed part of their body. [[Golem]]s are completely immune to syringes (even piercing syringes), but [[Guide_to_chemistry#Patches|patches]] do work on them. A syringe holds between 10-60u, depending on type. Common syringes hold 15u. 
====Patches====
Will add all reagents into a person's bloodstream through any clothing, including hardsuits. Also apply [[#Touch|touch]]/[[#Patch|patch]] based effects. Example: A patch of 20u [[#Synthflesh|Synthflesh]] will instantly heal 25 brute and burn (touch component), and also enter the target's bloodstream (which in this case does nothing). Usable by [[Plasmaman|plasmamen]]. Can hold up to 40u. 
==== Cigarettes====
Can be dipped in reagents to be filled. If smoking/vaping, you will slowly [[#Ingest|ingest]] whatever reagents the cigarette/cigar/e-cig contains. Though, if the reagents are too diluted, they may not build up in your bloodstream fast enough to have any effect at all. E-cigarettes can be trimmed with a screwdriver and multitool to also create [[#Smoke|smoke]]. 
====[[#Smoke|Smoke]]====
When a smoke reaction occurs, the smoke will consume any other reagent in its original containers, and spread that reagent to flooring and people/mobs who enter its area of effect. People who enter the smoke will be [[#Touch|touched]] by the reagents. If they do not have internals on, they will also [[#Ingest|ingest]] the reagents. The amount of smoke does not dilute the reagents. The reagents will be copied to every individual or tile (not walls, windows or doors) over the cloud's duration. Reagents that are special coded to affect floor/environment (such as blood, [[#Fluorosulfuric Acid|acid]] or [[#Space_Cleaner|Space Cleaner]]) will do so. Smoke will usually block sight. 
'''Smoke example 1:''' Smoke containing 20u [[#Synthflesh|Synthflesh]]. Everyone caught in the cloud, including people wearing hardsuits, will slowly heal 25 brute and burn, if they stay in the smoke for its full duration (otherwise they will heal partially). Those who are not wearing internals will also [[#Ingest|ingest]] 20u of the medicine, making it enter their bloodstream (which does nothing in this case). 
'''Smoke example:''' Smoke containing 20u [[#Chlorine Trifluoride|Chlorine Trifluoride]](CLF3). CLF3 has a [[#Touch|touch]](and [[#Vapor|vapor]]) component, so everyone caught in the cloud, including people wearing hardsuits and internals, will catch on fire. It will also deal burn damage to the environment, since CLF3 is coded to do so. Those who are not wearing internals will also [[#Ingest|ingest]] 20u of the CLF3 and thus, start heating up from the inside, effectively burning from both in and out at the same time. 
====[[#Fluorosurfactant|Foam]]====
When a foam reaction occurs, the foam will consume any other reagent in its original containers, and spread that reagent to flooring and people/mobs who enter its area of effect. The foam will spread slower than smoke and is usually slippery. Reagents will be copied through the [[#Vapor|vapor]] type delivery to those affected over the duration of the foam, BUT the reagents will be heavily diluted depending on the amount of foaming reagent used. Any clothing will reduce how much of the reagents will enter a person's bloodstream. Furthermore, foam reagent bloodstream insertion is divided into several 'ticks'. A minimum amount of reagent is required per tick for it to enter a bloodstream. So if too little reagents are contained in the reaction, or too much foam is used, the foam will do nothing. These ticks are counted ''after'' dilution and protection from clothing. On the other hand, if you use very small amounts of foam, the reagents may instead multiply in the bloodstream to more than the original amount. Hardsuits with helmets on will make people immune to getting reagents into their bloodstream through foam. Despite dilution, the foam will still copy remaining chems such as [[#Fluorosulfuric Acid|acid]], [[#Chlorine Trifluoride|CLF3]], or [[#Space_Cleaner|Space Cleaner]] to any tile it touches (but not walls, windows or doors). Foam will not block sight. 
'''Foam example 1:''' 250u foam containing 10u [[#Cyanide|Cyanide]] will spread a blue foam that does nothing to those it touches. The poison is too diluted to work at all. 
'''Foam example 2:''' 20u foam containing 250u [[#Fluorosulfuric Acid|Fluorosulfuric Acid]]. A small area and everyone touched by the foam will have large amounts of acid slowly melting their clothing and the affected floor and items. Those who did not wear a hardsuit with helmet on will also have a large amount of acid in their bloodstreams, depending on what they were wearing and how long they were in the foam. If they had internals on or not doesn't matter. 
====Splashing====
Throwing a beaker, or using a beaker on anything with harm intent, will splash its contents. The longer throw distance, the more the splash will spread out. A [[grenade]] will splash its content unless it also contains [[#Smoke|smoke]] or [[#Fluorosurfactant|foam]]. Splashing only does [[#Touch|touch]] delivery. This means most chemicals will do absolutely nothing when splashed. Reagents that have special properties to affect environment, such as Water, will do so where splashed (creates slippery tile). Reagents that have a [[#Touch|touch]] component will apply that component only. Example: If you throw a beaker of 80u [[#Synthflesh|Synthflesh]] at someone, you will instantly heal them for 100 brute and burn (and deal up to 150 toxin damage), since Synthflesh is touch/patch based. It doesn't matter if the target uses hardsuit or internals in this case. This means throwing a beaker of poison at someone will do nothing at all. Splashing can apply chemicals such as [[#Thermite|Thermite]] to walls. 
====Spraying====
Spraying reagents will apply them to environments (if they have any such effect), and will enter hit people's bloodstreams through the [[#Vapor|vapor]] delivery. This means clothing will protect from some/most/all of the reagents, depending on what they are wearing. Using a hardsuit with helmet on makes them immune to getting the reagent into their bloodstream. Reagents such as [[#Fluorosulfuric Acid|acid]], [[#Chlorine Trifluoride|CLF3]], or [[#Space_Cleaner|Space Cleaner]] will still cause their special effects when sprayed on people/environments, but will not enter the bloodstream if the target is wearing too heavy clothing.

Infections

2021-05-13T16:41:49Z

Lowwy: "Stage speed 74"

{{Needs revision | reason = With the rework and addition of extrapolators, entries relating to symptom acquisition or virology chemicals are outdated}}
There are many diseases that can affect you in space! The following will come in handy for [[virologist]]s, [[traitor]]s, or any unfortunate soul who's come down with a case of brain rot.
==[[virologist|Virology]] 101==
[[File:Virology.png|500px|thumb|alt=Virology|link=http://puu.sh/3EFaf.png|[[Virology]] is sealed from the rest of the station. You are not on the disposals network, nor do you share the same atmos system]]
The first, most important way to prevent 99% of infections is proper hazard wear and knowing how to keep the infection from spreading.
===The Clothes===
The following will protect you from the dangerous infections of space, each giving more and more (till total) protection against infection:
* Level-3 [[Bio Hood]]
* Level-3 [[Bio Suit]]
* Jumpsuit (virologist, CMO, geneticist, chemist, doctor, nurse suit, scrubs, Research Director)
* [[Latex Gloves]]
* Sterile mask
* [[Shoes]] (White shoes and [[Galoshes]] are the best)
* Private (clean) [[Internals]]
===Isolation===
If you or another crew member is infected, do not spread the infection further. Seek the isolation bay of the medical wing, or head to a room no one will enter but yourself and other infected.
===Sterilization===
Cleaning blood spills from the ground will prevent contact contamination. Make sure blood is cleaned from the floor at all times; any blood splatter out there could hold a dreaded space infection. Contact a [[janitor]] if you see blood on the floor, do not interact with the blood if you suspect possible infection chance. Any object or floor that has infected blood on it can infect anyone who handles or touches it.
===Methods of Infection===
The following are the various ways a disease can spread, keep this in mind at all times:
* Airborne - The most dangerous and quick spreading, if you are anywhere within the breathing area of the infected crew member, you have a chance to be infected.
* Direct Contact - Requires you to touch, been touched, or be extremely close to the source of the infection. The infection will be spread by the skin and bodily fluids of an infected person, but will not survive long in the air.
* Blood - The infection will be spread by the bodily fluids of the infected person.
* Special - The disease is not normally contagious and the affected crewman has been infected by a non-human vector source. You can work with the infected without risk yourself unless they expose you to the same vector source that infected them.
===Curing an infection===
Every infection is vulnerable to one substance (or combination of two). To find it, you can put an infected blood sample in the PanD.E.M.I.C 2200 machine or use a health analyzer on an infected patient. Administering the substance to the patient (may require multiple injections) should cure him. Alternatively, if you have produced a vaccine, a simple injection should cure the patient.
===[[File:Pandm.gif|64px]]PanD.E.M.I.C 2200===
This machine creates vaccines from the blood of people who have been cured.

Use:
# Take a blood sample with a syringe.
# Place sample into a beaker or bottle.
# Load beaker into machine.
# Select vaccine you wish to have.
# Take vaccine bottle it produces.
Additional uses:
* Reveals the cure to any infected blood sample without needing to inject a living creature.
* Shows the stats and symptoms of a virus
===Viral Extrapolator===
The viral extrapolator is a bulky, slow device, used to scan and extract diseases on the go. It has two modes, which can be toggled by using it in-hand

Scan [[File:Explorator_scan.gif|16px]] tells you what diseases are held within the target, if any, what symptoms they have, and what stage they are at.

Extract [[File:Explorator_sample.gif|16px]] can be used to harvest an advance disease from the target. If used on a culture bottle, it can be used to isolate a single symptom. The extrapolator takes twenty seconds to extract a disease, and one minute to isolate a symptom. There is a two minute cooldown before the extrapolator can be reused. It cannot isolate symptoms of a level higher than seven.

Upgrading the extrapolator:

By using a screwdriver on the extrapolator, you can remove its scanning module. Replacing it with a higher tier scanning module significantly lowers its cooldown and use times, as well as allowing isolation of higher level symptoms.

Symptom hunting:
Some objects can contain trace samples of the disease that the extrapolator can make into a culture. Many of these start with random diseases at roundstart, and can be harvested. This is the primary source of level nine symptoms. These items are as follows:
* Bloodstains. Only dried blood or old gibs will spawn with diseases.
* Vomit. Only crusty, dried vomit will spawn with diseases.
* Syringes. Only used syringes, found in maint, will spawn with diseases
* Mice and rats.
* Any item a sentient disease has used Secrete Infection on
* The glands of Wumborian Fugu always have a disease containing Pituitary Disruption
* Vector, the virologist's pet hamster, always has an extractable disease.
* Blob Spores created by the Blob Spores symptom always have the disease that spawned them
* Macrophages always contain the disease that spawned them.
==Infection Listings==
Thankfully, humanity has managed to cure and eliminate almost all of the diseases that plagued its infancy. However, the vast reaches of space have been found to harbor new illnesses that can affect the unprepared staff on Nanotrasen research stations. The following diseases are Simple Diseases that cannot be affected by the PanD.E.M.I.C 2200 or a Viral Extrapolator, and have no stats or symptoms.

=Advanced Diseases=
You are able to create your own advance disease with different symptoms, which will have buffs, debuffs and bonuses!

You will start out with two advance diseases, the cold and the flu. The cold will have the sneeze symptom and the flu will have the cough symptom.
They have almost no effect if they infect people, but you need them to acquire more symptoms.

The Pandemic can create culture bottles (basically copies) of existing viruses, so you won't run out while experimenting.
==Multiple Diseases==
A person has three slots for advanced diseases, with a fourth slot for sentient diseases. The slot a disease fits into is determined by Severity.
If a disease tries to occupy an already occupied slot, and its transmission is higher than the resistance of the disease already in the slot, it will drive the disease out and take its place
==Modifying Symptoms==
To obtain a new symptom you need to mutate an existing virus. This involves adding a chemical to the virus, which will generate a new symptom. Rarer and harder to acquire chemicals will yield more potent symptoms. You will start with enough chemicals to create a powerful disease, as long as you use them carefully. You can also insert an isolated symptom into your main virus, by moving 1 unit of the isolated culture to the main mix with a dropper. It will not work every time and may need to be repeated a few times.
====Basic chemicals====
These are the basic chemicals for virus mutation. These can be added to a culture to gain a symptom from a large pool- but it's about half as efficient as mixing [[Guide_to_chemistry#Virology_Recipes|advanced chemicals]].
* '''[[Virus Food]]''': You can make virus food with Water and Milk. Virology lab has its own Virus Food Dispenser. Mixing this with a disease will give that disease a symptom of level 1 to 2. Pure virus food is the only way to get level 2 symptoms, so, unlike plasma and mutagen, it is useful alone.
* '''[[Unstable Mutagen]]''': You can use mutagen to mutate your disease and give it a symptom of level 2 to 4. Virology starts with a 30u bottle of mutagen.
* '''[[Plasma|Liquid Plasma]]''': Plasma can be used to mutate your disease to give it a symptom of level 4 to 6. Plasma in liquid form is generally in very limited supply, unless mining and chemistry cooperates with you. Virology starts with a 30u bottle of liquid plasma, and in some station layouts with extra plasma bars.
====[[Guide_to_chemistry#Virology_Recipes|Advanced Chemicals]]====
Using these will allow you to both save time and resources when trying to acquire the symptoms you want.
* '''[[Guide_to_chemistry#Anomalous Virus Food|Anomalous Virus Food]]''': Anomalous Virus Food can be used to mutate your disease and give it a level 0 symptom. It is made by combining pure Laughter with virus food. Level 0 symptoms tend to be statistically similar to other symptoms, but have an unusual effect- good for gimmicks!
* '''[[Guide_to_chemistry#Virus Rations|Virus rations]]''': Virus rations can be used to mutate your disease and give it a level 1 symptom. It is made by depleting Virus food with Synaptizine. Level 1 symptoms almost universally boost stats, but have very little effect. Level 2 symptoms tend to be a bit better, so it's wise to leave virus food as-is.
* '''[[Guide_to_chemistry#Mutagenic Agar|Mutagenic Agar]]''': Mutagenic agar can be used to mutate your disease to give it a level 3 symptom. It is made by mixing Unstable mutagen and virus food together. Level three symptoms tend to be either decent stat-boosters, or subpar active symptoms.
* '''[[Guide_to_chemistry#Sucrose Agar|Sucrose Agar]]''': Sucrose agar can be used to mutate your disease to give it a level 4 symptom. It is made by mixing Sugar or Saline Glucose Solution and Mutagenic agar together. Level four symptoms are quite weak, so there is very little point to mixing this.
* '''[[Guide_to_chemistry#Weakened Virus Plasma|Weakened Virus Plasma]]''': Weakened virus plasma can be used to mutate your disease and give it a level 5 symptom. It is made by weakening virus plasma using Synaptizine. Level 5 symptoms tend to be some of the strongest stat symptoms
* '''[[Guide_to_chemistry#Virus Plasma|Virus Plasma]]''': Virus plasma can be used to mutate your disease and give it a level 6 symptom. It is made by mixing liquid plasma with virus food. Level 6 symptoms are the strongest active symptoms available without uranium or Highly Unstable Virus Food
* '''[[Guide_to_chemistry#Highly Unstable Virus Food|Advanced Virus Food]]''': Highly Unstable Virus Food can be used to mutate your disease and give it a level 9 symptom. You only get one unit, which is inert until a single uranium sheet's worth of uranium is added, but every single level nine symptom is powerful in its own way. The symptom you get will likely define the disease you make on any given round. <big><big>Highly unstable virus food was removed, and replaced with the viral extrapolator.</big></big>
====Uranium Gels====
These chemicals require large quantities of liquid uranium (obtained by grinding uranium bars). You'll require the help of mining to make these.
* '''[[Guide_to_chemistry#Decaying Uranium Gel|Decaying Uranium Gel]]''': Decaying Uranium Gel can be used to mutate your disease and give it a level 6 or 7 symptom. It is made by combining 1 virus food with 1 liquid Uranium. Efficient compared to Unstable gel, but slower to use.
* '''[[Guide_to_chemistry#Unstable Uranium Gel|Unstable Uranium Gel]]''': Unstable Uranium Gel can be used to mutate your disease and give it a level 7 symptom. It is made by combining 1 virus plasma with 5 liquid Uranium. Level 7 symptoms contain potent stat symptoms, and several esoteric symptoms.
* '''[[Guide_to_chemistry#Stable Uranium Gel|Stable Uranium Gel]]''': Stable Uranium Gel can be used to mutate your disease and give it a level 8 symptom. It is made by combining 1 plasma with 10 parts liquid Uranium and 10 parts liquid silver or gold. Level 8 symptoms contain some of the most potent healing symptoms, as well as some very difficult to deal with deadly symptoms.
====[[Guide_to_chemistry#Synaptizine|Synaptizine]]====
Synaptizine, aside from being a base chemical, will remove one random symptom to any virus it comes in contact with. It's important if you intend to isolate a specific symptom. For example, if you mutate your Cold virus and it acquires the Toxic Filter symptom, you can try and add synaptizine to it to create a virus which only has the Toxic Filter symptom.
====[[Guide_to_chemistry#Spaceacillin|Spaceacillin]]====
Spaceacillin will "Falter" a disease, making it unable to spread by any method but injection. Good for meme diseases, or if you wanna meet a transmission threshold without fucking everyone over

Cryostylane will Preserve a disease, making it unable to be mutated any further. If you finish a disease, you should Preserve it so it can't be edited, and so multiple diseases of different severity can be loaded into one bottle

====[[Guide_to_chemistry#Formaldehyde|Formaldehyde]]====
Formaldehyde will neuter one random symptom when mixed with a virus. This disables its effects while keeping the attributes intact. This is useful for meeting threshold values without making the virus deadly. '''NEUTER YOUR STAT SYMPTOMS, ALWAYS. UNLESS IT'S SOMETHING WITH AN EFFECT YOU ACTIVELY USE, ALL AN UNNEUTERED STAT SYMPTOM WILL DO, EVEN IF THE DISEASE IS INTENTIONALLY DEADLY, IS MAKE THE DISEASE GET NOTICED FASTER, AND, SCARE PEOPLE IF YOUR DISEASE IS GOOD, PROBABLY GETTING YOU LYNCHED. NEUTER YOUR FUCKING SYMPTOMS. YES, FEVER AND ITCHING CAN DO SLIGHT DAMAGE. NEUTER THEM ANYWAYS, DAMMIT'''

|name=Eyre I, the Virologist
|text=Psst, hey kid. Over here. Look at you, still fresh off the arrivals shuttle. Take the biosuit off, it'll only slow you down. Listen up- I'm here to teach ya exactly how to get robust at Virology, provided you can wrap your head around some simple concepts. I've hijacked this outdated nanotrasen standard-issue virology guide to teach YOU how to be a better Virologist than those Nanotrasen quacks!

Alright, since most people can't seem to grasp it: Virology is fucking SLOW! So this means you're gonna want to do a few things to make it faster!

1. Know what virus you want to make! I cannot fucking stress this enough. Random symptom isolation will never get you anywhere fast. Make a recipe for what you want, and then go aquire the symptoms
===Virology with extrapolator:===
2. Grab the spare extrapolator from the biohazard closet. You'll need extra to save time. Whenever you stop in medical, check the medical protolathe to see if you can upgrade the extrapolator with a new scanning module. Use a screwdriver to remove the old one, and shove the new one in. This lowers cooldown, massively speeds up the extrapolator's speed, and allows you to isolate higher-level symptoms

3. get a medical belt for your extrapolators. Consider grabbing a bio-bag for cultures. If CMO is nice, ask for the budget card- getting the budget allows you to skip maint-crawling entirely

4. Use the extrapolator to scan dried blood, old rotting gibs, crusty old vomit, used syringes, rats, etc, for viruses. if you see any symptom that fits the recipe, grab the culture! ALTERNATIVELY, with the budget, go to cargo and buy as many VIRUS SAMPLE CRATES (not Virus Crates) as you can. All the cultures will fit in the bio bag, and it can save cargo crate-dragging time if you go into the shuttle and pack them into the bag yourself. If you lack a budget, offer to do the viro bounty for virus crates- it's usually worth 4-8k, enough for 2-4 crates. If you want level 0 symptoms, find a source of banana juice

5. Once you have all the level 9s (and hopefully 8s and 7s to save time) you need, go back to viro. Make sure you have a level 3 scanning module at minimum. If you're missing any level 0-8 symptoms, get the virus chem for that level

6. Extrapolators make gaining a symptom easier. Lay a base culture out, any culture, and add 1u of the base culture. Add 4u of the desired chem, one drop at a time, and check if it has the symptom. If not, empty until it does. When it has the symptom, isolate it with the extrapolator. This is faster than 1u at a time (this being due to the fact that you're lowering the symptom pool by the amount of symptoms already in the culture, raising your chance).

7. Take your extrapolators, and begin using both in tandem (avoiding cooldowns) to extract every other symptom you need from your collection of culture bottles

8. Once you have every symptom you need, begin putting them in an empty beaker, neutering symptoms from their base culture when applicable. After reaching 4 symptoms, make a culture every time you try to add a new symptom, due to how symptoms may delete other symptoms at high symptom count. Add it one-at-a-time to the main culture, and always drip the single symptom into the main culture, not the other way, as this minimizes the chance of symptom deletion (the check is called per-symptom on the culture being added, so adding only a single symptom only checks it once)

9. After it's done, label it, make a backup culture, and Falter or Preserve it as necessary. Preserving a virus allows multiple to be placed in one culture bottle!
===Virology without extrapolator:===
2. You'll need five beakers when you get started making your virus:
*Fill the first beaker to the brim with virus food and put it on the table. This is for level one and two symptoms.
*Fill the second beaker with thirty units of virus food, and dump your entire mutagen bottle in. This is for level three symptoms.
*There is no beaker for level four symptoms. Four is an unlucky number or some shit, and, more importantly, all level four symptoms suck
*Fill the third beaker with ten units virus food, ten units Plasma, and then ten units of Synaptazine. This is for level five symptoms. '''THE ORDER IS IMPORTANT. PUT SYNAPTAZINE IN BEFORE PLASMA AND YOU'LL GET A BEAKER OF VIRUS RATIONS AND PLASMA, WASTING YOUR CHEMS. DONT DO IT.'''
*Fill the fourth beaker with ten units virus food and ten units of Plasma. This is for level six symptoms
*If you have the clown's can of laughter, you can fill a fifth beaker with ten units of virus food and the entire can of laughter for level zero symptoms
3. Lay out your Formaldehyde, Synaptazine, and Unstable Virus Food.

4. Finally, set an empty beaker out, and either Rhinovirus or the Cold. The Cold's symptom is Coughing, and Rhinovirus is Sneezing. I am a plasmaman, so all my diseases need high transmission- I prefer to set out rhinovirus.

5. Whichever symptom you choose to start with, drop a drop of formaldehyde in immediately! this neuters the symptom so your plague doesnt alert and scare people, which is bad regardless of your antag status. '''Remember to use your dropper, after setting it to one unit!'''

6. After you lay out your beakers on the table near the pandemic, situate yourself on a tile adjacent to the tables containing the reagents and your PANDEMIC machine. You will never have to move during this procedure- which saves valuable time.

7. With your recipe in mind, begin placing one unit of your starting symptom culture and one unit of the virus chem corresponding to your disease into the '''empty beaker'''. Do NOT place your virus chem into your culture, or your culture into your chem- it will set you back by an insane amount!. After you make ONE reaction, place the empty beaker in the pandemic-You never need to pick any beakers but this empty beaker up during the process- and check the symptoms. If you got what you wanted, create a culture, save your previous culture if it's the starter, you will need it later, or get rid of it if it's a random step in the process, and repeat with the chem for the next symptom, doing symptoms you will neuter first and neutering them as you get them. Repeat until you reach a total of four symptoms. '''To reiterate step five, ALWAYS use a one unit dropper! it makes you far more efficient with chem usage- if you use a dropper, your starting chems will usually last an entire round!'''

8. Upon reaching four symptoms, a virus has a chance to lose symptoms on gaining new ones. To avoid this, make a culture of your four symptoms, name it, and put it aside. Take your starter culture out, and begin the step 7 process. Once you get the fifth symptom, use the step seven process with synaptazine to remove the starter symptom, and finally repeat the step seven process one last time to get the last symptom. By now, you should have two cultures- one with four symptoms, and one with two (or one, five symptom diseases exist)

9. Finally, repeat the step seven process one more time, but using the two cultures, instead of a chem and a culture. There is no reaction sound for this mixing! Once you reach the desired number of symptoms (yes, adding symptoms via mixing can delete symptoms just like adding them via chems does), name the virus, and make a culture! you're done! yay! Consider Faltering your disease with Spaceacillin if you don't want it to spread, and/or Preserving it with Cryoxadone.

==Understanding stats==
After you're done mixing your disease, stats from the symptoms are added together to make disease stats. Viruses have a default of 0 in every stat.
* '''Stealth:''' If stealth is 2 or higher your disease will be hidden from medHUD and scanners. Generally it will also hide the warning signs of symptoms before they activate.
* '''Transmission:''' Improves the chance each tick to spread the virus, increases the amount of protection you need to prevent infection, determines the infection vector, and is needed to override other viruses.
** The infection vector is calculated with (disease's transmission - amount of symptoms). 2 or less is blood, 3 is fluid contact, 4 is skin contact, 5 is airbone. The Sneezing symptom forces sporadic airborne spreads, but does not otherwise affect this.
** When infecting someone who already has a virus, if the infecting virus' Transmission is higher than the other virus' Resistance, the latter will be overridden by the former.
* '''Stage speed:''' Increases the chance of advancing a stage each tick. It will be 2% or stage speed, whichever is higher.
* '''Resistance:''' Makes the virus harder to cure; determines the required chemical to cure, decreases the chance of it being cured each tick when in contact with the cure, and defines how resistant the virus is to being overridden by other viruses. Sentient diseases have a fixed cure, and don't rely on resistance to determine their cure.
** The chance of it being cured every tick is 15 - resistance, but always between 10 and 20.
** The cure is determined by [resistance - (amount of symptoms / 2)].

* '''Severity:''' Severity determines how virus shows up on a medhud, and which slot a disease occupies. Severity adds up in a manner different to other stats- A severity score below 0, or equal to or above five will be added normally. A severity of 1 or 2 will be added to a maximum of 3. A severity of 3 or 4 will be added to a maximum of 4. Severity also determines which of a person's three disease slots a disease occupies, unless the disease is sentient. Severity is unique in that stats will modify it

===General Tips===
* You can get plasma and uranium from the medical autolathe if mining has picked it up. No need to waste time going to the ORM.
* The clown will typically be happy to give you his canned laughter for Anomalous Virus Food. if not, a single ground-up banana cream pie mixed with sugar is sufficient for as much laughter as the can usually has
* Never make sucrine agar unless you absolutely need a level four symptom for some ungodly reason
* If you wear the biosuit, you're an idiot. The only time you need to wear that is when working with patients or monkeys, and it slows you down. If you release a disease as a traitor, you should have immunized yourself beforehand- a biosuit sticks out like a sore thumb
*'''ALWAYS make your diseases beforehand. Have a recipe ready to work with any given symptom. This is the MOST IMPORTANT part of being good at virology.'''
* Never use pure mutagen or pure plasma. Always make virus chems, it doubles your efficiency.
*If you want to kill a single person, single target viruses using Viral Aggressive Metabolism can be just as effective as a deathchem. If you're an antagonist, and want to be sporting, try poisoning your victim with a powerful zombie virus. In my experience, people love when you do this.
*While spreading a low-effect beneficial disease may be tempting, designing a combo of multiple diseases (Called a "Trifecta") at varying severity levels, is usually the best way to go. A good trifecta usually has multiple level 9 symptoms, and can take most of a round to create- but it's worth it.
*For stealth: 2 stealth is the only time it matters outside of thresholds. The only time stealth is used outside of this is for extrapolators.
*White shoes protect from infection sources on the ground, such as bloodstains, vomit, and Exolocomotive Xenomitosis mass
*If you want a virus to be spread exclusively via Exolocomotive Xenomitosis or Macrophage, falter the virus containing that symptom. It won't spread via transmission, but will still spread via infected floor or macrophages. Note that when these viruses meet their threshold that spreads all host viruses, they won't spread faltered versions.
===<span title="Neutered Fever, Neutered Sneezing, Inorganic Biology, Viral Evolutionary Acceleration, Revitiligo, Necrotizing Fasciitis. That was my first truly engineered death plague, and it's a pun to boot! it sucks ass, though.">The Black Death===
Being a traitor virologist allows you to finally come out of your shell and release those negative recipes you've been aching to test, and put those level nine symptoms to the true test!
* Sabotaging the Pandemic is usually a good idea, as it can create a vaccine for a cured virus which is cheap and easy to distribute, even if the virus is extremely resistant.
* Sabotaging the holodeck computer is also a good idea because its Emergency Medical simulation also contains a Pandemic.
* Sabotaging chemistry can stop them from making most of the chems that can cure viruses.
* A dropper works as a 1-5 unit hypospray when used on a target not wearing any eye protection.
* An infected monkey in medbay is another easy way to spread a disease
* Immunize yourself before releasing your death plague!

Infections

2021-05-06T22:53:04Z

Lowwy: Add "skineggs" aka "Dermagraphic Ovulogenesis" to the list

{{Needs revision | reason = With the rework and addition of extrapolators, entries relating to symptom acquisition or virology chemicals are outdated}}
There are many diseases that can affect you in space! The following will come in handy for [[virologist]]s, [[traitor]]s, or any unfortunate soul who's come down with a case of brain rot.
==[[virologist|Virology]] 101==
[[File:Virology.png|500px|thumb|alt=Virology|link=http://puu.sh/3EFaf.png|[[Virology]] is sealed from the rest of the station. You are not on the disposals network, nor do you share the same atmos system]]
The first, most important way to prevent 99% of infections is proper hazard wear and knowing how to keep the infection from spreading.
===The Clothes===
The following will protect you from the dangerous infections of space, each giving more and more (till total) protection against infection:
* Level-3 [[Bio Hood]]
* Level-3 [[Bio Suit]]
* Jumpsuit (virologist, CMO, geneticist, chemist, doctor, nurse suit, scrubs, Research Director)
* [[Latex Gloves]]
* Sterile mask
* [[Shoes]] (White shoes and [[Galoshes]] are the best)
* Private (clean) [[Internals]]
===Isolation===
If you or another crew member is infected, do not spread the infection further. Seek the isolation bay of the medical wing, or head to a room no one will enter but yourself and other infected.
===Sterilization===
Cleaning blood spills from the ground will prevent contact contamination. Make sure blood is cleaned from the floor at all times; any blood splatter out there could hold a dreaded space infection. Contact a [[janitor]] if you see blood on the floor, do not interact with the blood if you suspect possible infection chance. Any object or floor that has infected blood on it can infect anyone who handles or touches it.
===Methods of Infection===
The following are the various ways a disease can spread, keep this in mind at all times:
* Airborne - The most dangerous and quick spreading, if you are anywhere within the breathing area of the infected crew member, you have a chance to be infected.
* Direct Contact - Requires you to touch, been touched, or be extremely close to the source of the infection. The infection will be spread by the skin and bodily fluids of an infected person, but will not survive long in the air.
* Blood - The infection will be spread by the bodily fluids of the infected person.
* Special - The disease is not normally contagious and the affected crewman has been infected by a non-human vector source. You can work with the infected without risk yourself unless they expose you to the same vector source that infected them.
===Curing an infection===
Every infection is vulnerable to one substance (or combination of two). To find it, you can put an infected blood sample in the PanD.E.M.I.C 2200 machine or use a health analyzer on an infected patient. Administering the substance to the patient (may require multiple injections) should cure him. Alternatively, if you have produced a vaccine, a simple injection should cure the patient.
===[[File:Pandm.gif|64px]]PanD.E.M.I.C 2200===
This machine creates vaccines from the blood of people who have been cured.

Use:
# Take a blood sample with a syringe.
# Place sample into a beaker or bottle.
# Load beaker into machine.
# Select vaccine you wish to have.
# Take vaccine bottle it produces.
Additional uses:
* Reveals the cure to any infected blood sample without needing to inject a living creature.
* Shows the stats and symptoms of a virus
===Viral Extrapolator===
The viral extrapolator is a bulky, slow device, used to scan and extract diseases on the go. It has two modes, which can be toggled by using it in-hand

Scan [[File:Explorator_scan.gif|16px]] tells you what diseases are held within the target, if any, what symptoms they have, and what stage they are at.

Extract [[File:Explorator_sample.gif|16px]] can be used to harvest an advance disease from the target. If used on a culture bottle, it can be used to isolate a single symptom. The extrapolator takes twenty seconds to extract a disease, and one minute to isolate a symptom. There is a two minute cooldown before the extrapolator can be reused. It cannot isolate symptoms of a level higher than seven.

Upgrading the extrapolator:

By using a screwdriver on the extrapolator, you can remove its scanning module. Replacing it with a higher tier scanning module significantly lowers its cooldown and use times, as well as allowing isolation of higher level symptoms.

Symptom hunting:
Some objects can contain trace samples of the disease that the extrapolator can make into a culture. Many of these start with random diseases at roundstart, and can be harvested. This is the primary source of level nine symptoms. These items are as follows:
* Bloodstains. Only dried blood or old gibs will spawn with diseases.
* Vomit. Only crusty, dried vomit will spawn with diseases.
* Syringes. Only used syringes, found in maint, will spawn with diseases
* Mice and rats.
* Any item a sentient disease has used Secrete Infection on
* The glands of Wumborian Fugu always have a disease containing Pituitary Disruption
* Vector, the virologist's pet hamster, always has an extractable disease.
* Blob Spores created by the Blob Spores symptom always have the disease that spawned them
* Macrophages always contain the disease that spawned them.
==Infection Listings==
Thankfully, humanity has managed to cure and eliminate almost all of the diseases that plagued its infancy. However, the vast reaches of space have been found to harbor new illnesses that can affect the unprepared staff on Nanotrasen research stations. The following diseases are Simple Diseases that cannot be affected by the PanD.E.M.I.C 2200 or a Viral Extrapolator, and have no stats or symptoms.

=Advanced Diseases=
You are able to create your own advance disease with different symptoms, which will have buffs, debuffs and bonuses!

You will start out with two advance diseases, the cold and the flu. The cold will have the sneeze symptom and the flu will have the cough symptom.
They have almost no effect if they infect people, but you need them to acquire more symptoms.

The Pandemic can create culture bottles (basically copies) of existing viruses, so you won't run out while experimenting.
==Multiple Diseases==
A person has three slots for advanced diseases, with a fourth slot for sentient diseases. The slot a disease fits into is determined by Severity.
If a disease tries to occupy an already occupied slot, and its transmission is higher than the resistance of the disease already in the slot, it will drive the disease out and take its place
==Modifying Symptoms==
To obtain a new symptom you need to mutate an existing virus. This involves adding a chemical to the virus, which will generate a new symptom. Rarer and harder to acquire chemicals will yield more potent symptoms. You will start with enough chemicals to create a powerful disease, as long as you use them carefully. You can also insert an isolated symptom into your main virus, by moving 1 unit of the isolated culture to the main mix with a dropper. It will not work every time and may need to be repeated a few times.
====Basic chemicals====
These are the basic chemicals for virus mutation. These can be added to a culture to gain a symptom from a large pool- but it's about half as efficient as mixing [[Guide_to_chemistry#Virology_Recipes|advanced chemicals]].
* '''[[Virus Food]]''': You can make virus food with Water and Milk. Virology lab has its own Virus Food Dispenser. Mixing this with a disease will give that disease a symptom of level 1 to 2. Pure virus food is the only way to get level 2 symptoms, so, unlike plasma and mutagen, it is useful alone.
* '''[[Unstable Mutagen]]''': You can use mutagen to mutate your disease and give it a symptom of level 2 to 4. Virology starts with a 30u bottle of mutagen.
* '''[[Plasma|Liquid Plasma]]''': Plasma can be used to mutate your disease to give it a symptom of level 4 to 6. Plasma in liquid form is generally in very limited supply, unless mining and chemistry cooperates with you. Virology starts with a 30u bottle of liquid plasma, and in some station layouts with extra plasma bars.
====[[Guide_to_chemistry#Virology_Recipes|Advanced Chemicals]]====
Using these will allow you to both save time and resources when trying to acquire the symptoms you want.
* '''[[Guide_to_chemistry#Anomalous Virus Food|Anomalous Virus Food]]''': Anomalous Virus Food can be used to mutate your disease and give it a level 0 symptom. It is made by combining pure Laughter with virus food. Level 0 symptoms tend to be statistically similar to other symptoms, but have an unusual effect- good for gimmicks!
* '''[[Guide_to_chemistry#Virus Rations|Virus rations]]''': Virus rations can be used to mutate your disease and give it a level 1 symptom. It is made by depleting Virus food with Synaptizine. Level 1 symptoms almost universally boost stats, but have very little effect. Level 2 symptoms tend to be a bit better, so it's wise to leave virus food as-is.
* '''[[Guide_to_chemistry#Mutagenic Agar|Mutagenic Agar]]''': Mutagenic agar can be used to mutate your disease to give it a level 3 symptom. It is made by mixing Unstable mutagen and virus food together. Level three symptoms tend to be either decent stat-boosters, or subpar active symptoms.
* '''[[Guide_to_chemistry#Sucrose Agar|Sucrose Agar]]''': Sucrose agar can be used to mutate your disease to give it a level 4 symptom. It is made by mixing Sugar or Saline Glucose Solution and Mutagenic agar together. Level four symptoms are quite weak, so there is very little point to mixing this.
* '''[[Guide_to_chemistry#Weakened Virus Plasma|Weakened Virus Plasma]]''': Weakened virus plasma can be used to mutate your disease and give it a level 5 symptom. It is made by weakening virus plasma using Synaptizine. Level 5 symptoms tend to be some of the strongest stat symptoms
* '''[[Guide_to_chemistry#Virus Plasma|Virus Plasma]]''': Virus plasma can be used to mutate your disease and give it a level 6 symptom. It is made by mixing liquid plasma with virus food. Level 6 symptoms are the strongest active symptoms available without uranium or Highly Unstable Virus Food
* '''[[Guide_to_chemistry#Highly Unstable Virus Food|Advanced Virus Food]]''': Highly Unstable Virus Food can be used to mutate your disease and give it a level 9 symptom. You only get one unit, which is inert until a single uranium sheet's worth of uranium is added, but every single level nine symptom is powerful in its own way. The symptom you get will likely define the disease you make on any given round. <big><big>Highly unstable virus food was removed, and replaced with the viral extrapolator.</big></big>
====Uranium Gels====
These chemicals require large quantities of liquid uranium (obtained by grinding uranium bars). You'll require the help of mining to make these.
* '''[[Guide_to_chemistry#Decaying Uranium Gel|Decaying Uranium Gel]]''': Decaying Uranium Gel can be used to mutate your disease and give it a level 6 or 7 symptom. It is made by combining 1 virus food with 1 liquid Uranium. Efficient compared to Unstable gel, but slower to use.
* '''[[Guide_to_chemistry#Unstable Uranium Gel|Unstable Uranium Gel]]''': Unstable Uranium Gel can be used to mutate your disease and give it a level 7 symptom. It is made by combining 1 virus plasma with 5 liquid Uranium. Level 7 symptoms contain potent stat symptoms, and several esoteric symptoms.
* '''[[Guide_to_chemistry#Stable Uranium Gel|Stable Uranium Gel]]''': Stable Uranium Gel can be used to mutate your disease and give it a level 8 symptom. It is made by combining 1 plasma with 10 parts liquid Uranium and 10 parts liquid silver or gold. Level 8 symptoms contain some of the most potent healing symptoms, as well as some very difficult to deal with deadly symptoms.
====[[Guide_to_chemistry#Synaptizine|Synaptizine]]====
Synaptizine, aside from being a base chemical, will remove one random symptom to any virus it comes in contact with. It's important if you intend to isolate a specific symptom. For example, if you mutate your Cold virus and it acquires the Toxic Filter symptom, you can try and add synaptizine to it to create a virus which only has the Toxic Filter symptom.
====[[Guide_to_chemistry#Spaceacillin|Spaceacillin]]====
Spaceacillin will "Falter" a disease, making it unable to spread by any method but injection. Good for meme diseases, or if you wanna meet a transmission threshold without fucking everyone over
====[[Guide_to_chemistry#Cryostylane|Cryostylane]]====
Cryostylane will Preserve a disease, making it unable to be mutated any further. If you finish a disease, you should Preserve it so it can't be edited, and so multiple diseases of different severity can be loaded into one bottle

====[[Guide_to_chemistry#Formaldehyde|Formaldehyde]]====
Formaldehyde will neuter one random symptom when mixed with a virus. This disables its effects while keeping the attributes intact. This is useful for meeting threshold values without making the virus deadly. '''NEUTER YOUR STAT SYMPTOMS, ALWAYS. UNLESS IT'S SOMETHING WITH AN EFFECT YOU ACTIVELY USE, ALL AN UNNEUTERED STAT SYMPTOM WILL DO, EVEN IF THE DISEASE IS INTENTIONALLY DEADLY, IS MAKE THE DISEASE GET NOTICED FASTER, AND, SCARE PEOPLE IF YOUR DISEASE IS GOOD, PROBABLY GETTING YOU LYNCHED. NEUTER YOUR FUCKING SYMPTOMS. YES, FEVER AND ITCHING CAN DO SLIGHT DAMAGE. NEUTER THEM ANYWAYS, DAMMIT'''
==BABBY'S FIRST VIRUS==

Listen up- I'm here to teach ya exactly how to get robust at Virology, provided you can wrap your head around some simple concepts. I've hijacked this outdated nanotrasen standard-issue virology guide to teach YOU how to be a better Virologist than those Nanotrasen quacks!
|image=[[File:Viro action.png|64px|right]]
}}
Alright, since most people can't seem to grasp it: Virology is fucking SLOW! So this means you're gonna want to do a few things to make it faster!

1. Know what virus you want to make! I cannot fucking stress this enough. Random symptom isolation will never get you anywhere fast. Make a recipe for what you want, and then go aquire the symptoms
===Virology with extrapolator:===
2. Grab the spare extrapolator from the biohazard closet. You'll need extra to save time. Whenever you stop in medical, check the medical protolathe to see if you can upgrade the extrapolator with a new scanning module. Use a screwdriver to remove the old one, and shove the new one in. This lowers cooldown, massively speeds up the extrapolator's speed, and allows you to isolate higher-level symptoms

3. get a medical belt for your extrapolators. Consider grabbing a bio-bag for cultures. If CMO is nice, ask for the budget card- getting the budget allows you to skip maint-crawling entirely

4. Use the extrapolator to scan dried blood, old rotting gibs, crusty old vomit, used syringes, rats, etc, for viruses. if you see any symptom that fits the recipe, grab the culture! ALTERNATIVELY, with the budget, go to cargo and buy as many VIRUS SAMPLE CRATES (not Virus Crates) as you can. All the cultures will fit in the bio bag, and it can save cargo crate-dragging time if you go into the shuttle and pack them into the bag yourself. If you lack a budget, offer to do the viro bounty for virus crates- it's usually worth 4-8k, enough for 2-4 crates. If you want level 0 symptoms, find a source of banana juice

5. Once you have all the level 9s (and hopefully 8s and 7s to save time) you need, go back to viro. Make sure you have a level 3 scanning module at minimum. If you're missing any level 0-8 symptoms, get the virus chem for that level

6. Extrapolators make gaining a symptom easier. Lay a base culture out, any culture, and add 1u of the base culture. Add 4u of the desired chem, one drop at a time, and check if it has the symptom. If not, empty until it does. When it has the symptom, isolate it with the extrapolator. This is faster than 1u at a time (this being due to the fact that you're lowering the symptom pool by the amount of symptoms already in the culture, raising your chance).

7. Take your extrapolators, and begin using both in tandem (avoiding cooldowns) to extract every other symptom you need from your collection of culture bottles

8. Once you have every symptom you need, begin putting them in an empty beaker, neutering symptoms from their base culture when applicable. After reaching 4 symptoms, make a culture every time you try to add a new symptom, due to how symptoms may delete other symptoms at high symptom count. Add it one-at-a-time to the main culture, and always drip the single symptom into the main culture, not the other way, as this minimizes the chance of symptom deletion (the check is called per-symptom on the culture being added, so adding only a single symptom only checks it once)

9. After it's done, label it, make a backup culture, and Falter or Preserve it as necessary. Preserving a virus allows multiple to be placed in one culture bottle!
===Virology without extrapolator:===
2. You'll need five beakers when you get started making your virus:
*Fill the first beaker to the brim with virus food and put it on the table. This is for level one and two symptoms.
*Fill the second beaker with thirty units of virus food, and dump your entire mutagen bottle in. This is for level three symptoms.
*There is no beaker for level four symptoms. Four is an unlucky number or some shit, and, more importantly, all level four symptoms suck
*Fill the third beaker with ten units virus food, ten units Plasma, and then ten units of Synaptazine. This is for level five symptoms. '''THE ORDER IS IMPORTANT. PUT SYNAPTAZINE IN BEFORE PLASMA AND YOU'LL GET A BEAKER OF VIRUS RATIONS AND PLASMA, WASTING YOUR CHEMS. DONT DO IT.'''
*Fill the fourth beaker with ten units virus food and ten units of Plasma. This is for level six symptoms
*If you have the clown's can of laughter, you can fill a fifth beaker with ten units of virus food and the entire can of laughter for level zero symptoms
3. Lay out your Formaldehyde, Synaptazine, and Unstable Virus Food.

4. Finally, set an empty beaker out, and either Rhinovirus or the Cold. The Cold's symptom is Coughing, and Rhinovirus is Sneezing. I am a plasmaman, so all my diseases need high transmission- I prefer to set out rhinovirus.

5. Whichever symptom you choose to start with, drop a drop of formaldehyde in immediately! this neuters the symptom so your plague doesnt alert and scare people, which is bad regardless of your antag status. '''Remember to use your dropper, after setting it to one unit!'''

6. After you lay out your beakers on the table near the pandemic, situate yourself on a tile adjacent to the tables containing the reagents and your PANDEMIC machine. You will never have to move during this procedure- which saves valuable time.

7. With your recipe in mind, begin placing one unit of your starting symptom culture and one unit of the virus chem corresponding to your disease into the '''empty beaker'''. Do NOT place your virus chem into your culture, or your culture into your chem- it will set you back by an insane amount!. After you make ONE reaction, place the empty beaker in the pandemic-You never need to pick any beakers but this empty beaker up during the process- and check the symptoms. If you got what you wanted, create a culture, save your previous culture if it's the starter, you will need it later, or get rid of it if it's a random step in the process, and repeat with the chem for the next symptom, doing symptoms you will neuter first and neutering them as you get them. Repeat until you reach a total of four symptoms. '''To reiterate step five, ALWAYS use a one unit dropper! it makes you far more efficient with chem usage- if you use a dropper, your starting chems will usually last an entire round!'''

8. Upon reaching four symptoms, a virus has a chance to lose symptoms on gaining new ones. To avoid this, make a culture of your four symptoms, name it, and put it aside. Take your starter culture out, and begin the step 7 process. Once you get the fifth symptom, use the step seven process with synaptazine to remove the starter symptom, and finally repeat the step seven process one last time to get the last symptom. By now, you should have two cultures- one with four symptoms, and one with two (or one, five symptom diseases exist)

9. Finally, repeat the step seven process one more time, but using the two cultures, instead of a chem and a culture. There is no reaction sound for this mixing! Once you reach the desired number of symptoms (yes, adding symptoms via mixing can delete symptoms just like adding them via chems does), name the virus, and make a culture! you're done! yay! Consider Faltering your disease with Spaceacillin if you don't want it to spread, and/or Preserving it with Cryoxadone.

==Understanding stats==
After you're done mixing your disease, stats from the symptoms are added together to make disease stats. Viruses have a default of 0 in every stat.
* '''Stealth:''' If stealth is 2 or higher your disease will be hidden from medHUD and scanners. Generally it will also hide the warning signs of symptoms before they activate.
* '''Transmission:''' Improves the chance each tick to spread the virus, increases the amount of protection you need to prevent infection, determines the infection vector, and is needed to override other viruses.
** The infection vector is calculated with (disease's transmission - amount of symptoms). 2 or less is blood, 3 is fluid contact, 4 is skin contact, 5 is airbone. The Sneezing symptom forces sporadic airborne spreads, but does not otherwise affect this.
** When infecting someone who already has a virus, if the infecting virus' Transmission is higher than the other virus' Resistance, the latter will be overridden by the former.
* '''Stage speed:''' Increases the chance of advancing a stage each tick. It will be 2% or stage speed, whichever is higher.
* '''Resistance:''' Makes the virus harder to cure; determines the required chemical to cure, decreases the chance of it being cured each tick when in contact with the cure, and defines how resistant the virus is to being overridden by other viruses. Sentient diseases have a fixed cure, and don't rely on resistance to determine their cure.

* '''Severity:''' Severity determines how virus shows up on a medhud, and which slot a disease occupies. Severity adds up in a manner different to other stats- A severity score below 0, or equal to or above five will be added normally. A severity of 1 or 2 will be added to a maximum of 3. A severity of 3 or 4 will be added to a maximum of 4. Severity also determines which of a person's three disease slots a disease occupies, unless the disease is sentient. Severity is unique in that stats will modify it

===General Tips===
* You can get plasma and uranium from the medical autolathe if mining has picked it up. No need to waste time going to the ORM.
* The clown will typically be happy to give you his canned laughter for Anomalous Virus Food. if not, a single ground-up banana cream pie mixed with sugar is sufficient for as much laughter as the can usually has
* Never make sucrine agar unless you absolutely need a level four symptom for some ungodly reason
* If you wear the biosuit, you're an idiot. The only time you need to wear that is when working with patients or monkeys, and it slows you down. If you release a disease as a traitor, you should have immunized yourself beforehand- a biosuit sticks out like a sore thumb
*'''ALWAYS make your diseases beforehand. Have a recipe ready to work with any given symptom. This is the MOST IMPORTANT part of being good at virology.'''
* Never use pure mutagen or pure plasma. Always make virus chems, it doubles your efficiency.
*If you want to kill a single person, single target viruses using Viral Aggressive Metabolism can be just as effective as a deathchem. If you're an antagonist, and want to be sporting, try poisoning your victim with a powerful zombie virus. In my experience, people love when you do this.
*While spreading a low-effect beneficial disease may be tempting, designing a combo of multiple diseases (Called a "Trifecta") at varying severity levels, is usually the best way to go. A good trifecta usually has multiple level 9 symptoms, and can take most of a round to create- but it's worth it.
*For stealth: 2 stealth is the only time it matters outside of thresholds. The only time stealth is used outside of this is for extrapolators.
*White shoes protect from infection sources on the ground, such as bloodstains, vomit, and Exolocomotive Xenomitosis mass
*If you want a virus to be spread exclusively via Exolocomotive Xenomitosis or Macrophage, falter the virus containing that symptom. It won't spread via transmission, but will still spread via infected floor or macrophages. Note that when these viruses meet their threshold that spreads all host viruses, they won't spread faltered versions.
===<span title="Neutered Fever, Neutered Sneezing, Inorganic Biology, Viral Evolutionary Acceleration, Revitiligo, Necrotizing Fasciitis. That was my first truly engineered death plague, and it's a pun to boot! it sucks ass, though.">The Black Death===
Being a traitor virologist allows you to finally come out of your shell and release those negative recipes you've been aching to test, and put those level nine symptoms to the true test!
* Sabotaging the Pandemic is usually a good idea, as it can create a vaccine for a cured virus which is cheap and easy to distribute, even if the virus is extremely resistant.
* Sabotaging the holodeck computer is also a good idea because its Emergency Medical simulation also contains a Pandemic.
* Sabotaging chemistry can stop them from making most of the chems that can cure viruses.
* A dropper works as a 1-5 unit hypospray when used on a target not wearing any eye protection.
* An infected monkey in medbay is another easy way to spread a disease
* Immunize yourself before releasing your death plague!

Guide to chemistry

2021-01-22T13:23:41Z

Lowwy: Fixed links to Carpotoxin and Antitoxin (Carthatoline). Removed space carp information from Zombie Powder description as the Recipe explains this.

This guide will primarily be useful for [[Chemist|chemists]] and [[Botanist|Botanists]] using [[Guide to hydroponics#Strange Seeds|Strange Seeds]] but may come in handy to any player and especially [[Traitor|traitors]].
= Chemicals =
The building blocks of chemistry are aluminium, bromine, carbon, chlorine, copper, ethanol, fluorine, hydrogen, iodine, iron, lithium, mercury, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus, potassium, radium, silicon, silver, sodium, stable plasma, sugar, sulphur, sulphuric acid, water and welding fuel. These can be produced from the [[Chem Dispenser]] in [[Chemistry]].

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.

Grinding minerals from mining will also get you:
* [[Plasma]]
* Uranium
[[Emag|Emagging]] a chem dispenser will add:
* Space Drugs
* Morphine
* Toxin
* Carpotoxin
* Miner's Salve
The [[Vending_machines#Medbay|NanoMed Plus]] is your main source of generic toxin when hacked.

Some chemical reactions will require you to heat the reagents in a [[File:Chemical_Heater.png]] '''Chemical Heater'''. This machine will heat a beaker to the desired temperature, slowing down the heating speed as it approaches the target temperature. If you don't risk making the chemical explode by overheating it (such as Meth) you can just set it to a very high temperature to avoid this.

== Machinery ==
You have all sorts of chems here, and can make many things. You can make [[#Medicines|medicines]], [[#Smoke|smoke]], [[#Fluorosurfactant|foam]], [[#Flash Powder|flash powder]], [[#Toxins|poisons]], [[#Space Lube|space lube]], [[#Fluorosulfuric Acid|acid]] and 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, as 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.

=== [[File:Dispenser.png|Chem Dispenser]] Chemistry Dispensers ===
[[Chem Dispenser|Chem dispensers]] can be upgraded to unlock more chemicals, allow for more precise macro usage, increased power recharge rate and higher power capacity. If you run out of power, you can disassemble the dispenser with screwdriver+crowbar and rebuild it by first putting the circuit board back, and then all other things but use a full power cell [[File:Power_cell.png]] instead of the old one. Then screwdriver to finish. Or you can charge the machine with an [[inducer]] [[File:Inducer.png]].

=== [[File:Chemical_Heater.png|Chemical Heater]] Chemical Heater ===
Some chemical reactions will require you to heat the reagents in a [[Chemical Heater]]. Unless the recipes says otherwise, these reactions need you to heat the reagents ''above'' the required temperature.
This machine will heat/cool a beaker to the desired temperature, slowing down the heating/cooling speed as it approaches the target temperature. If you don't risk making the chemical explode by overheating it (like with [[#Methamphetamine|meth]]) you can just set it to a very high temperature to avoid this. '''Due to a rounding bug you sometimes need to heat chems 1 degree higher than the recipe says.''' 
Upgrading the laser will increase the heating/cooling speed.
=== [[File:Chemmaster.gif|ChemMaster 3000]] ChemMaster 3000 ===
Separates, bottles, and makes pills/patches out of chemicals loaded inside. You can load pretty much any container - beakers, spray bottles, water bottles and so on. 
Maximum size for dispensed bottles is 30u, patches 40u and pills 50u. Use a chemistry bag [[File:Chemistry_bag.png]] to quickly move large quantities of bottles, patches or pills. 
Can be upgraded with bigger beakers to allow a bigger buffer. By default it contains two ordinary 50u beakers for a total buffer volume of 100u.
=== [[File:Blender.png|Reagent Grinder]] All-In-One Grinder ===
Grinds, crushes, liquefies and extracts reagents from materials placed into it. 
If there is a significant reagent associated with the item, the Reagent grinder will distill a pure sample inside the collection beaker. 
For example: Plasma/gold/uranium/metal sheets, donk pockets, fruits, dead mice.
=== [[File:Smoke_machine.png|Smoke Machine]] Smoke Machine ===
Dispenses any chemical inside as a [[#Smoke|smoke]] cloud. Needs to be secured by wrenching first. 
A great alternative to [[#Smoke|smoke]] [[Grenade|grenades]], but easily incites lynch mobs. 
Can only be obtained through the circuit board being printed, and the required parts being assembled first.

==Metabolism==
When a reagent enters a body, it will then "tick" or "cycle" about every 2 seconds (these are called "life ticks", and are not to be confused with server ticks/tickrate). When this happens the body is purged of an amount of every reagent depending on their metabolism rates. This is the rate at which the chemical disappears from your body. It doesn't matter how many chems you have in your body, as they are all metabolized separately. If you are [[Guide_to_food_and_drinks#Hunger|hungry]] (sluggish), this will happen 20% slower, which makes chemicals have a bigger total effect since they last longer without being weaker per tick. Many mobs are "simplemobs" which means they don't have bloodstreams and can thus not be poisoned, sedated or healed with medicine. Monkeys and most playable humanoids are the exceptions to this.

==Active Pure Chemicals==
A.K.A. what happens when you eat or splash these. Their metabolism rate is 0.4u per cycle unless said otherwise. Unmentioned dispensable chemicals don't have any effects. Plasma and uranium requires you to grind mineral sheets to acquire.
*'''Chlorine''': Causes 1 brute damage per tick to a random body part.
*'''Copper''': Can be splashed on metal sheets to create bronze sheets.
*{{anchor|Ethanol}}'''Ethanol''': A decent alcoholic "beverage", with a [[Guide_to_food_and_drinks#Drinks|booze power]] of 65. Increases success rate of [[Surgery|surgery]] and flammability when applied externally. Metabolism rate 0.2.
*'''Fluorine''': Causes 1 toxin damage per tick.
*'''Iron''': Slowly restores blood volume.
*'''Lithium''': Causes twitching, drooling, moaning and not being able to walk straight.
*'''Mercury''': Causes 1 brain damage per tick, twitching, drooling, moaning and not being able to walk straight.
*'''[[Plasma]]''': Causes 3 toxin damage per tick. Creates gas form plasma when spilled or heated to 323.15K (50°C). Not to be confused with Stable Plasma, which does nothing.
*'''Radium''': Slowly causes irradiation (2 per tick). Creates glowing green goo on floor if more than 3u is spilled.
*'''Sugar''': Gives nutrition. Causes hyperglycemic shock if overdosed (200u). Metabolism rate 0.8.
*'''Sulphuric Acid''': Causes 1 toxin damage and some instant brute damage to one body part when ingested, and slightly more brute damage when ''injected''. Destroys head-wear and causes burn damage when sprayed or splashed on someone. Counts as a [[#Toxins|toxin]].
*'''Uranium''': Causes slight (1 per tick) irradiation. Creates glowing green goo on floor if more than 3u is spilled.
*'''Welding Fuel''': Causes 1 toxin damage per tick. Makes people flammable if splashed on.

== Components ==
These are very basic chemicals that you'll use in a lot of other more complicated chems. They can still be toxic, though.

===Superior Healing Medicines===
These healing drugs are harder to make than the core healing drugs, however they are significantly better at healing.

Also, many upgraded drugs can be overdosed with, leading to a negative outcome. Be sure to monitor how many units of chemicals someone is injected with.

== Narcotics ==
Narcotics are highly addicitve drugs that can aggressively, or passively, provide a benefit. Be wary as its very easy to become addicted, or overdose, on a narcotic.

As a general rule of thumb, the more of a positive effect (or any effect) a narcotic can provide, the easier it is to get addicted or overdose on it.

People who overdose or get addicted to Narcotics tend to usually end up dying to the negative effects or requiring immedient medical attention. Take in moderation.

!style='background-color:#FFEE88;'|{{anchor|Stabilizing Agent}}Stabilizing Agent▮
|1 part Iron 1 part Oxygen 1 part Hydrogen
|When mixed with certain pyrotechnics, it stabilizes the reaction and prevents the reaction for usage later. The stabilizing agent is not consumed when stabilizing explosives, and one unit is enough to stabilize any amount of explosives. '''This does not work on everything, so be warned!'''
|-
!style='background-color:#FFEE88;'|{{anchor|Foam Surfactant}}Foam Surfactant▮
|2 parts Carbon 2 parts Fluorine 1 part Sulphuric Acid
|Also known as Fluorosurfactant. Creates a large amount of foam when mixed with an equal amount of water. This foam carries any reagents along with it in the container, allowing you to apply reagents to large areas at a time. The foam will apply any carried reagents to any walls, floors, objects, or people and animals in the area of the foam. The reagents will be absorbed through a mob's exposed skin and somewhat through clothes unless completely impermeable(hardsuit/biohazard/medical gear). Foam is slippery!

|1 part [[#Stabilizing Agent|Stabilizing Agent]] 1 part [[#Foam Surfactant|Foam Surfactant]] 1 part Carbon temperature 200k
|A historical fire suppressant. Originally believed to simply displace oxygen to starve fires, it actually interferes with the combustion reaction itself. Vastly superior to the cheap water-based extinguishers. When used in a spray or with smoke it creates a non-slippery foam which extinguishes fires and burning creatures, and removes burning plasma from the air
|-
!style='background-color:#FFEE88;'|{{anchor|Smoke}}Smoke▮
|1 part Phosphorous 1 part Potassium 1 part Sugar
|This creates a large cloud of smoke that will take on the properties of everything (if anything) in the container of the reaction. The chemicals in the smoke will touch and react with everything that the smoke touches. Mobs caught within the smoke cloud without wearing a gas mask or breathing through a gas tank will ingest the smoke chemicals. Great for distributing toxins in a crowded area. Can be stabilized with Stabilizing Reagent. If stabilized, heat to 374K to activate.

==Reagent Delivery{{anchor|Reagent Delivery}}==
{{anchor|Under_the_hood}}There are different ways you can apply chemicals to a person or the environment.

===Delivery types===
First of all, there are actually 5 types of delivery, called '''ingest''', '''inject''', '''vapor''', '''touch''' and '''patch'''. If you are not interested in the details, you can skip to [[#Smoke_vs_foam|Smoke vs Foam vs others]]. 
====Ingest====
Ingest and '''inject'''{{anchor|Inject}} both usually do the exact same thing. The reagent simply enters the target's bloodstream. Used by pills, cigarettes, e-cigarettes, inhaling [[#Smoke|smoke]] and drinking the reagent directly.
====Inject====
Works the same as '''ingest''', where the reagent simply enters the target's bloodstream. Used by syringes and IV-drips.
====Vapor====
Vapor is used by (ranged) spray bottles and [[#Fluorosurfactant|foam]]. A portion of the reagents will enter the bloodstream of the target, but clothes will protect from some/most/all of it depending on clothing. Any hardsuit typically makes the target completely immune to getting it into their bloodstream, if the helmet is closed. But if the reagent has a "vapor" based component, that component will still affect the target, like [[#Fluorosulfuric Acid|Fluorosulfuric Acid]]. See more about [[#Fluorosurfactant|foam]] [[#Smoke_vs_foam|below]], with examples.
====Touch====
Touch is used by [[#Smoke|smoke]] and splashing. If the reagent has a "touch" based component, that component will affect the target (such as the instant heal part of [[#Synthflesh|Synthflesh]]), without being blocked by clothing. Nothing at all will enter the target's bloodstream, with the exception of smoke if the target has no internals on. Currently all "touch" components are also "patch" components. See more on [[#Smoke|smoke]] [[#Smoke_vs_foam|below]], with examples.
====Patch====
Patch is used by patches and medical gels. The reagent enters the target's bloodstream entirely AND if the reagent has a "patch" based component, that component will affect the target. Currently all "patch" components are also "touch" components.
===Smoke vs foam vs others===
These are the major practical differences between pills, syringes, patches, cigarettes, [[#Smoke|smoke]], [[#Fluorosurfactant|foam]], splash and spray. 
====Pills====
Pills can be instantly [[#Ingest|ingested]] if used on yourself. It doesn't work if mouth is covered. [[Plasmaman|Plasmamen]] will have trouble taking these. Holds up to 50u. 
====Syringes====
Syringes can inject into people even with their mouths covered, either by hand or with a syringe gun. It doesn't work on players wearing hardsuits or other pierce-immune clothing, unless you use a piercing syringe or manage to aim for an exposed part of their body. [[Golem]]s are completely immune to syringes (even piercing syringes), but [[Guide_to_chemistry#Patches|patches]] do work on them. A syringe holds between 10-60u, depending on type. Common syringes hold 15u. 
====Patches====
Will add all reagents into a person's bloodstream through any clothing, including hardsuits. Also apply [[#Touch|touch]]/[[#Patch|patch]] based effects. Example: A patch of 20u [[#Synthflesh|Synthflesh]] will instantly heal 25 brute and burn (touch component), and also enter the target's bloodstream (which in this case does nothing). Usable by [[Plasmaman|plasmamen]]. Can hold up to 40u. 
====Cigarettes====
Can be dipped in reagents to be filled. If smoking/vaping, you will slowly [[#Ingest|ingest]] whatever reagents the cigarette/cigar/e-cig contains. Though, if the reagents are too diluted, they may not build up in your bloodstream fast enough to have any effect at all. E-cigarettes can be trimmed with a screwdriver and multitool to also create [[#Smoke|smoke]]. 
====[[#Smoke|Smoke]]====
When a smoke reaction occurs, the smoke will consume any other reagent in its original containers, and spread that reagent to flooring and people/mobs who enter its area of effect. People who enter the smoke will be [[#Touch|touched]] by the reagents. If they do not have internals on, they will also [[#Ingest|ingest]] the reagents. The amount of smoke does not dilute the reagents. The reagents will be copied to every individual or tile (not walls, windows or doors) over the cloud's duration. Reagents that are special coded to affect floor/environment (such as blood, [[#Fluorosulfuric Acid|acid]] or [[#Space_Cleaner|Space Cleaner]]) will do so. Smoke will usually block sight. 
'''Smoke example 1:''' Smoke containing 20u [[#Synthflesh|Synthflesh]]. Everyone caught in the cloud, including people wearing hardsuits, will slowly heal 25 brute and burn, if they stay in the smoke for its full duration (otherwise they will heal partially). Those who are not wearing internals will also [[#Ingest|ingest]] 20u of the medicine, making it enter their bloodstream (which does nothing in this case). 
'''Smoke example:''' Smoke containing 20u [[#Chlorine Trifluoride|Chlorine Trifluoride]](CLF3). CLF3 has a [[#Touch|touch]](and [[#Vapor|vapor]]) component, so everyone caught in the cloud, including people wearing hardsuits and internals, will catch on fire. It will also deal burn damage to the environment, since CLF3 is coded to do so. Those who are not wearing internals will also [[#Ingest|ingest]] 20u of the CLF3 and thus, start heating up from the inside, effectively burning from both in and out at the same time. 
====[[#Fluorosurfactant|Foam]]====
When a foam reaction occurs, the foam will consume any other reagent in its original containers, and spread that reagent to flooring and people/mobs who enter its area of effect. The foam will spread slower than smoke and is usually slippery. Reagents will be copied through the [[#Vapor|vapor]] type delivery to those affected over the duration of the foam, BUT the reagents will be heavily diluted depending on the amount of foaming reagent used. Any clothing will reduce how much of the reagents will enter a person's bloodstream. Furthermore, foam reagent bloodstream insertion is divided into several 'ticks'. A minimum amount of reagent is required per tick for it to enter a bloodstream. So if too little reagents are contained in the reaction, or too much foam is used, the foam will do nothing. These ticks are counted ''after'' dilution and protection from clothing. On the other hand, if you use very small amounts of foam, the reagents may instead multiply in the bloodstream to more than the original amount. Hardsuits with helmets on will make people immune to getting reagents into their bloodstream through foam. Despite dilution, the foam will still copy remaining chems such as [[#Fluorosulfuric Acid|acid]], [[#Chlorine Trifluoride|CLF3]], or [[#Space_Cleaner|Space Cleaner]] to any tile it touches (but not walls, windows or doors). Foam will not block sight. 
'''Foam example 1:''' 250u foam containing 10u [[#Cyanide|Cyanide]] will spread a blue foam that does nothing to those it touches. The poison is too diluted to work at all. 
'''Foam example 2:''' 20u foam containing 250u [[#Fluorosulfuric Acid|Fluorosulfuric Acid]]. A small area and everyone touched by the foam will have large amounts of acid slowly melting their clothing and the affected floor and items. Those who did not wear a hardsuit with helmet on will also have a large amount of acid in their bloodstreams, depending on what they were wearing and how long they were in the foam. If they had internals on or not doesn't matter. 
====Splashing====
Throwing a beaker, or using a beaker on anything with harm intent, will splash its contents. The longer throw distance, the more the splash will spread out. A [[grenade]] will splash its content unless it also contains [[#Smoke|smoke]] or [[#Fluorosurfactant|foam]]. Splashing only does [[#Touch|touch]] delivery. This means most chemicals will do absolutely nothing when splashed. Reagents that have special properties to affect environment, such as Water, will do so where splashed (creates slippery tile). Reagents that have a [[#Touch|touch]] component will apply that component only. Example: If you throw a beaker of 80u [[#Synthflesh|Synthflesh]] at someone, you will instantly heal them for 100 brute and burn (and deal up to 150 toxin damage), since Synthflesh is touch/patch based. It doesn't matter if the target uses hardsuit or internals in this case. This means throwing a beaker of poison at someone will do nothing at all. Splashing can apply chemicals such as [[#Thermite|Thermite]] to walls. 
====Spraying====
Spraying reagents will apply them to environments (if they have any such effect), and will enter hit people's bloodstreams through the [[#Vapor|vapor]] delivery. This means clothing will protect from some/most/all of the reagents, depending on what they are wearing. Using a hardsuit with helmet on makes them immune to getting the reagent into their bloodstream. Reagents such as [[#Fluorosulfuric Acid|acid]], [[#Chlorine Trifluoride|CLF3]], or [[#Space_Cleaner|Space Cleaner]] will still cause their special effects when sprayed on people/environments, but will not enter the bloodstream if the target is wearing too heavy clothing. 

== 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.
