Don't even need a toolbelt tbh, just use a cardboard box. Only advantage toolbelt has is that it's one less container to click through.

Slime cores only need one unit of plasma/blood, and xenobiology has a dropper in it. So fill a beaker with monkeys blood and use a dropper (Its a lot faster than syringes) and you will never run out of plasma since you start with 80.

XDTM · Post by **XDTM** » Tue Mar 20, 2018 5:52 pm #392701

Addendum: chemical reactions output reagents based on input, so 1u of plasma will do 1u mutation toxin and so on. Inverse is also true for maxi syringes, injecting 10u will yield 10 before using up the core.
Addendum 2: Plasteel, made by metal slimes, grinds into 20 iron and 20 plasma per sheet for a total of 100 plasma, opposed to 60 from dark purple slimes. Don't bother making those unless you want sepia.

dont even need a box. just find a paper bin, grab like 3 sheets, and craft a paper bag from the misc crafting tab. i tend to do this since there's art storage just across the hall from tool supply on most maps with plenty of paper inside it

Beepsky smash?

Any chem can be injected through the eyes via a dropper, even Beepsky Smash.

It will only work if there isn't anything that covers the eyes in the way. You can adjust the amount of chems you can inject this way and you can inject 5u at a time, but a dropper can only hold 5u at a time. Theoretically, you could quickly kill someone this way, presuming you were quick and had your beakers of poison onhand and ready.

To make meth without a chem dispenser you will need the following:

A grinder
A chem master // both of which can be found on the medical program holodeck

2x lighters
4x glowsticks
1x toner cartridge
5x matches
3x twinkies
1x lightbulb
1x spraycan

Grind all of the above, try to do each thing seperately and use the chem master to bottle each reagent to prevent unwanted mixtures. Once separated and measured out, mix them all together into the beaker and gently heat it up with either a lighter, a match or a welder. The mixture should produce about 40u of meth with 30u ephedrine remainder, slot the beaker into the chem master and print off as many pills in whatever ratio you like

Though of course nothing is more robust than just mixing as many poisons as possible into a syringe because they'll all process at once.
Unless that's somehow changed.

Chems that can be found in objects:

Carbon - Cigarette butts, coal and wood
Blood + gibs - Mice bodies, monkies, you and other people
Ethanol - Spray cans
Oil - Lighters, robot spills
Ash - Paper (after burning it)
Silicon - Wide variety of sources but glass is the big one
Iron - See above but metal is the most obvious
Welding fuel - Welding tools and lighters
Copper - Cable coils
Sulphuric acid - Circuit boards
Phosphorous - Matches
Sulphur - Flares
Phenol - Glowsticks
Hydrogen - Glowsticks
Oxygen - Glowsticks
Water - Sinks, water tanks etc.
Iodine - Pens, toner cartridges, photos etc.
Aluminium - Crushed cans
Nitrogen - Lightbulbs
Mercury - Analyzers
Lithium - Power cells
Styptic powder - Bruise packs
Silver sulf - Ointment

And don't forget about botany and pills already premade, they too can be grinded

There's a lot of robust drinks and it breaks my heart to see bartenders run off never to be seen again the moment a declaration of war is made. Here's a few not everyone seem to know about that are relatively easy to make:

Bloody Mary: Restores lost blood.
Brave Bull: Essentially gives you temporary extra health, which can be enough to stop you from going at a snail pace when hurt, or going into crit before you can get treatment. Don't underestimate it.
Quad Sec: Heals brute damage for security jobs (lawyer included). Easy to make.
Doctor's Delight: This one's pretty well known but hard to make sometimes. Meta and Delta have a beaker of cryoxadone in the maint bar.
Nuka Cola: Makes you super fast, but also gives you space drug overlay and makes you jittery, so best used in moderation. Mix with tea to counter jitteriness.
Hearty Punch: One sip will take most people out of crit. Easy to make, just need a lighter to heat it up. A 90u recipe will make 6u, you can run out of power pretty quick if you want to make a bunch. Also heals clone damage!

Use your preferred combination of the above and put it in a cigarette to use before a fight. Even better if you have an e-cig you won't have to light it beforehand.

I like to make a mix of Hearty Punch+Brave Bull+Bloody Mary to get people out of crit and Nuka Cola+Brave Bull for when you find yourself in the middle of a fight, about to die and you need to get the hell out of there right now and run across the entire station to reach medbay in the next 5 seconds.

Also it's better to use rollies (Midori Tabako) since they can store 50u instead of 15

Mediborgs can dispense spaceacillin. So if it's nuke ops and they release fungal TB, you can speed-treat infected people by jabbing them with your hypo and then popping them in the sleepers to administer the salbutamol. Tried this yesterday and while it was kind of annoying trying to do stuff with no gravity, I think things went pretty well. ^^

A lot of people tend to mess up treating plasmamen when it comes to most medical ailments that can't be fixed with a patch/spray. With regard to surgery, just do the procedure on a roller bed under a shower! The water will prevent the plasmaman from igniting, meaning that you can operate on them safely.

factoryman942 · Tue Apr 10, 2018 7:43 am

as a mediborg, rather than just applying one specific chem 3-4 times with your hypospray based on what damage they have (e.g. 20u bicard for someone with a bunch of brute) use the other two simple heal chems once as well (20u bicard + 5u kelo + 5u antitox). This causes them to mix into tricord, which causes faster healing (15u bicard + 15u tricord). If you make too much tricord in the patient you can OD them to shit

also salglu exists for if there're no blood bags / nobody with hands to set up IVs for you

Mickyan · Post by **Mickyan** » Tue Apr 10, 2018 3:57 pm #398954

Just found this out and I'm surprised I don't see it done every war ops round because it's ridiculously good and literally just requires enough access to use the holodeck and autolathe (which is none on all maps but box). It's already easy as it is and basically trivial if you have access to chemistry.

Make a dead man's switch grenade (signaler-igniter in casing, signaler-health sensor in backpack. Don't forget to actually turn it on.), fill it with synthflesh (grind up to 4 wood, grind 1 stack + 1 brute patch, add blood).

If you went all the way, two large beakers of synthflesh will heal you for 60 brute and 60 burn. If you have a bit of a split between the two types of damage, you will literally spring back from crit to full health instantly. The big side effect is that people near you will get some of that healing too, which can be a good or a bad thing. You probably want the guy with the disk to survive no matter what.
