Utility

Plastic sheets

The main use for plastic sheets is making large water bottles - these are functionally identical to large beakers.

• Add 30 units each of Welding Fuel, Carbon and Hydrogen to a large beaker.
• This combines into Oil. Discard 10 units.
• Separate 30 units of Oil, then heat the bottle to 1000°K until it turns to Ash.
• To the remaining Oil, add 10 units Sodium/Water/Chlorine each.
• Now, heat the resulting Oil/Table Salt mix to roughly 420°K.
• Set the Ash bottle to use 5u amounts and repeatedly use it on the heated Oil/Salt mix.
• You now have enough Plastic sheets to make a lot of large bottles!

Metal foam grenade

While not as elegant as smart foam, this one is great for dealing with AI turrets and containing Critter outbreaks.

• Make enough Fluorosulfuric Acid and Foaming Agent that you end up with 30u each.
• Fill beaker A with 90 units of Iron and insert into the grenade casing.
• Put 30u of Fluorosulfuric Acid and Foaming Agent each into beaker B and finish up the grenade.

• Remove 10u
• Add 5u Holy Water (get the chaplain to bless it for you)
• Add 5u Omnizine (You can get omnizine through grinding heated donk pockets, or through nicely asking the botanist, since omnizine is naturally found in Ambrosia Deus. If you're lucky, the CMO starts the shift with his/her hypospray loaded with omnizine.)
• Add 15u of the resulting Strange Reagent to the original beaker
• Add 15u of Nutriment (Just vend some food from the Getmore Chocolate Corp and grind it up)
• Get a separate beaker (normal beaker is aforementioned fine)

How to maxcap the station with absolute adorableness

• Acquire a dropper, and adjust it to transfer in 1u amounts
• Go to your target destination
• Draw 1u of the heated blood (Solutions do not lose heat over time! The only way to change the temperature of a solution is by using a heater or a freezer.)
• Inject 1u of the heated blood into your other beaker. Every time 1u of blood is injected into the other beaker, an independent reaction occurs, which produces a corgi.
• Repeat. All your hard work will eventually lead to 15 corgis being let loose onto the station.

Mutation Toxins

Before you begin

• Bug the scientist manning xenobiology beforehand that you want some green slime extracts, and ask them to PDA you once they've gathered a sufficient amount
• Once you obtain the green slime extracts, fill a beaker up with radium and use a syringe to draw some of it. Then inject the extract with the syringe in order to create Unstable Mutation Toxin.
• Because each green slime extract creates only a single unstable mutation toxin, you have to set a dropper to use 1u amounts for these recipes.
• The majority of the mutation recipes are relatively simple once you've done this. See Guide to chemistry#Mutation Toxins.
