Guide to chemistry

This guide will primarily be useful for chemists but may come in handy to any player and especially traitors. See Chemical recipes for a simplified version on how to make complicated chemicals. If you don't have a chem dispenser, see the Guide to Ghetto Chemistry.

Machinery

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.

Chemistry Dispensers

Chem dispensers produce different chemicals depending on the manipulator installed.

Roundstart chem dispensers come with T3 chemicals and can be upgraded to unlock special properties.

Certain space and lavaland ruins also come with their own, special dispensers.

• Better capacitor: faster recharging speed.
• Better power cell: larger maximum power capacity.
• Better manipulator: longer and more complex chemistry macros can be performed. At tier 1 manips, macros round to the nearest 5u, then 3u at tier 2, 2u at tier 3 and 1u at tier 4.

Chemical Heater

Some chemical reactions will require you to heat the reagents in a Chemical Heater.
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 (such as Meth) you can just set it to a very high temperature to avoid this.
Upgrading the laser will increase the heating/cooling speed.

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, pills/patches are 50u max.
Pill bottles can be loaded to directly dispense pills/patches into them.

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.

Smoke Machine

Dispenses any chemical inside as a smoke cloud. Needs to be secured by wrenching first.
A great alternative to smoke grenades, but easily incites lynch mobs.
Can only be obtained through the circuit board being printed, and the required parts being assembled first.

Upgradeable parts:

Click expand to see upgrades:

• Manipulator: Unlocks the higher range settings.
• Matter bin: Increases maximum capacity.
• Capacitor: Increases efficiency.

Active Pure Chemicals

A.K.A. what happens when you eat these. Chemicals unmentioned don't have any effect.

• Chlorine: Causes minor physical damage to various body parts.
• Ethanol: A decent alcoholic "beverage", with a booze power of 65. Increases success rate of surgery and flammability when applied externally.
• Fluorine: Causes minor toxin damage.
• Lithium: Causes twitching, drooling, moaning and not being able to walk straight.
• Mercury: Causes brain damage, twitching, drooling, moaning and not being able to walk straight.
• Radium: Causes irradiation.
• Sugar: Gives nutrition.
• Sulphuric Acid: Causes minor toxin damage and instant brute damage to one body part when ingested. Destroys head-wear and causes burn damage when sprayed on someone.
• Plasma: Causes major toxin damage.
• Uranium: Causes slight irradiation.

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.

Pyrotechnics

The manipulation of fire and matter.

Name	Recipe	Description
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!
Fluorosurfactant▮	2 parts Carbon 2 parts Fluorine 1 part Sulphuric Acid	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!
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 into Smoke Powder with Stabilizing Reagent.
Smoke Powder▮	1 part Phosphorous 1 part Potassium 1 part Sugar 1 part Stabilizing Agent (catalyst)	The stabilized version of Smoke - only one third as effective as the unstabilized chemical reaction.Heat to 374K to activate.
Flash Powder▮	1 part Aluminium 1 part Potassium 1 part Sulphur	Flashes in a radius that scales up with the amount detonated. Can be stabilized with Stabilizing Reagent. If stabilized, heat to 374K to activate.
Phlogiston▮	1 part Phosphorus 1 part Sulphuric Acid 1 part Stable Plasma	Turns into a spreading plasma fire if not stabilized during mixing. Makes you burn longer, and ignites you. Deals increasing fire damage based on how much you're burning up to 4 fire damage every 3 seconds. Can be stabilized with Stabilizing Reagent. Does not react immediately.
Napalm▮	1 part Oil 1 part Welding Fuel 1 part Ethanol	A substance that burns for much longer than other fuels. Inject it into someone and then apply heat for a warm toasty fireball human.
Sonic Powder▮	1 part Oxygen 1 part Cola 1 part Phosphorus	Deafens in a radius that scales up with the amount detonated. Can be stabilized with Stabilizing Reagent. If stabilized, heat to 374K to activate.
Pyrosium▮	1 part Stable Plasma 1 part Radium 1 part Phosphorus	Comes into existence at 20K. Reacts with Oxygen to quickly heat its container.
Cryostylane▮	1 part Water 1 part Stable Plasma 1 part Nitrogen	Comes into existence at 20K. Reacts with Oxygen to quickly cool its container.
Chlorine Trifluoride▮	3 parts Fluorine 1 part Chlorine Temperature 424K	When created it will create a temporary 3x3 fireball. Comes into existence at 1000K. A flammable substance so dangerous it can burn through the hull of the station. It lights you on fire when it comes into contact with you, and if it gets inside of you will burn you from the inside out. It metabolizes out of your body extremely fast, however.
Sorium▮	1 part Mercury 1 part Oxygen 1 part Nitrogen 1 part Carbon	When detonated it will send any movable object or person flying away from the detonation point. Can be stabilized with Stabilizing Reagent. If stabilized, heat to 474K to activate.
Liquid Dark Matter▮	1 part Stable Plasma 1 part Radium 1 part Carbon	When detonated it will suck in any movable object or person. Can be stabilized with Stabilizing Reagent. If stabilized, heat to 474K to activate.
Meth Explosion▮	1 part Diethylamine 1 part Iodine 1 part Phosphorus 1 part Hydrogen Temperature 300K (Room temperature)	If you are making Methamphetamine and mixing the ephedrine last, make sure you're using a chilled container, or it'll blow up just as if it was overheated. Definitely safer to just make the ephedrine separately. Blows up with the same strength as Black Powder.
Black Powder▮	1 part Charcoal 1 part Saltpetre 1 part Sulfur	Sparks, and then creates a violent explosion when heated to 474K. Causes hallucinations in plasmamen.
Nitroglycerin▮	1 part Glycerol 1 part Fluorosulfuric Acid 1 part Sulphuric Acid	A heavy, colourless, oily, explosive liquid obtained by nitrating glycerol. Explodes immediately on mixing. Can be stabilized with Stabilizing Reagent. If stabilized, heat to 474K to activate. (Results in 2 units instead of 3)
Explosion	1 part Potassium 1 part Water	This explodes immediately on mixing, which may knock you over or even kill you. Only useful in grenade production.
Holy Explosion	1 part Potassium 1 part Holy Water	This explodes immediately on mixing. If it combined at least 75 of each reagent, it results in a more powerful explosion, which also paralyzes and reveals revenants and sets nearby cultists on fire. Otherwise it behaves like a normal Water-Potassium explosion. Much more efficient if less Potassium is used.
EMP	1 part Iron 1 part Uranium	This reacts immediately on mixing, creating an electromagnetic pulse which affects electronics nearby; very useful for causing chaos.
Tesla Shock	1 part Teslium 1 part Water Or heating Teslium to 474K	This reacts immediately on mixing, shooting electric bolts to anyone near the reaction, shocking people and disabling/damaging electronics.
Thermite▮	1 part Aluminium 1 part Iron 1 part Oxygen	A mixture that can burn straight through walls or floors when splashed and ignited. Needed amount depends on target structure. Does not work on doors or windows. Causes minor burn damage to humans when ingested.
