This guide will primarily be useful for chemists and scientists but may come in handy to any player and especially traitors.
Protip! You can hover over reagents needed in the formula to see how to create them
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, plasma, sugar, sulfur, and water. These can be produced from the Chem Dispenser in Chemistry. Grinding minerals from mining will also get you Uranium.
You have all sorts of things here, and can make so much. You can make medicines, foam, flash powder, poisons, space lube, 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.
Mixing these chemicals often requires a device called the 
Chemical Heater. With this, you enter a given temperature (in kelvins) to heat or cool a beaker and its reagents. This can sometimes result in dangerous reactions, so be careful!
Oh and there is a welding fuel tank on your wall. Don't go on a trip to steal one from somewhere.
All the recipes and reagents listed below are sorted by category and alphabetical order.
Active Pure Chemicals
A.K.A. what happens when you eat these. Chemicals unmentioned don't have any effect. All active pure chemicals have a metabolism rate of .4 units per cycle unless stated otherwise.
- Chlorine: Causes 1 burn damage.
- Ethanol: The most potent alcoholic "beverage", with the fastest toxicity.
- Fluorine: Causes 1 toxin and 1 burn damage.
- Iron: Helps slowly restore blood at a rate of 0.8cl per cycle.
- Lithium: Causes twitching, drooling, moaning and not being able to walk straight.
- Mercury: Has a 70% chance to cause 1 brain damage, metabolizes at 0.2u per cycle.
- Plasma: Causes 1 toxin damage. Heals plasmamen. Purges 2 units of Epinephrine from the body.
- Radium: Causes 4 radiation damage up to a cap of 80.
- Sugar: Gives nutrition, has a chance to reduce stuns, and has a rare chance to decay into a small amount of epinephrine. Overdosing on this will put you into diabetic shock.
- Toxin: Causes 2 toxin damage.
- Uranium: Causes 2 radiation damage.
Beyond the obvious
You can heat up beakers with cheap lighters, welders, et cetera. You can get a cheap lighter at the very start of the shift via enabling it in your loadout (character creation screen), or from a vendomat. Each click heats the beaker up by around 20-30 kelvins, which means you can achieve desired temperatures in 2–3 seconds. This makes chemical heaters entirely redundant.
Some chemicals emit toxin vapors upon mixing. If you breath from the atmosphere, wear a gaskmask (no internals needed) or apply internals.
You can label beakers with a pen. One is available in your PDA (rightclick -> remove pen). The hand labeller will not work.
You can get access to an additional chem (Toxin) by opening the chem dispenser's panel with a screwdriver, multitooling it and then applying the screwdriver again.
"Metabolism rate" indicates how much of a substance gets "absorbed" by a body every 2~ seconds (that's called a cycle) to trigger the effect's of a given substance. In majority of the cases, if the substance metabolization rate isn't specified it's most likely 0.4.
If you are well-fed, denoted by "Feeling Vigorous", you metabolize chems 25% faster. This does not mean that chemicals work faster on the body, but rather that they are purged at a quicker pace.
Components
These are very basic chemicals that you'll use in a lot of other more complicated chems. They can still be toxic, though.
| Name | Formula | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Acetone | 1 part 1 part Welding Fuel Found in welding fuel tanks. 1 part Oxygen |
Common ingredient in other recipes. Causes toxin damage when ingested. |
| Ammonia | 3 parts Hydrogen 1 part Nitrogen |
An alternative fertilizer for botany and a key component for many common meds (results in 3 units instead of 4). Less effective than Diethylamine. |
| Ash | Obtained by burning paper or safely superheating . | Basic ingredient in a couple of recipes. You can also create it by heating up to 874K, but if it's 30u of oil or more, this WILL result in a large fire, which if done in chemistry will likely blow the welding tanks and ignite everyone nearby. Burning paper and scooping it up is a much safer method of making ash. |
| Carpet | 1 part Fungus Found growing on walls in maintenance. Can be collected with a container. 1 part Blood |
Creates a dirty carpet on the floor. |
| Diethylamine | 1 part Ammonia 3 parts Hydrogen 1 part Nitrogen 1 part Ethanol Temperature 374 K |
A very potent fertilizer, and the base component of some medicines. |
| Meat Slurry | 1 part Corn Starch Juice Corn in a grinder 1 part Blood |
Ingredient in Heparin |
| Oil | 1 part Welding Fuel Found in welding fuel tanks. 1 part Carbon 1 part Hydrogen |
Used to make a variety of different chemicals, including Perfluorodecalin and Ephedrine. Heating less than 30u to 874k will make ash. Heating 30u or more to 874k will make a large fire and likely detonate the nearby welding tank dispenser. |
| Phenol | 1 part Water 1 part Chlorine 1 part |
Used for certain medical recipes. |
| Saltpetre | 1 part Potassium 1 part Nitrogen 3 parts Oxygen |
Ingredient for Bath Salts and Black Powder. Also adds potency to plants as well as increasing production speed. |
| Sulphuric Acid | 1 part Sulfur 1 part Oxygen 1 part Hydrogen |
An acid that's utilized as a building block in a lot of medical chemicals (results in 2 units instead of 3). It's also useful for etching circuits....etching permanent scars in your coworker's face. |
| Welding Fuel | Found in welding fuel tanks. | A highly flammable blend of basic hydrocarbons, mostly Acetylene. Useful for both welding and organic chemistry. |
Medicines
"And that's how I lost my medical license!" Don't be this guy. Make these. Lots of these.
See Guide to Medicine for more information on what to use when.
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.
| Name | Recipe | Treatment for | Description | Metabolism Rate | Overdose Threshold | Addiction Chance |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Atropine | 1 part Ethanol 1 part Acetone 1 part 1 part 1 part Sulphuric Acid
1 part Sulfur 1 part Oxygen 1 part Hydrogen |
Brute, burn and suffocation | Heals 10 oxygen damage if above 65, caps loss of breath at 5 cycles, attempts to resolve cardiac failure, but causes dizziness and confusion.

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.

| Chlorine Trifluoride | 1 part Chlorine 3 parts Fluorine 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. |
| Cryostylane | 1 part Water 1 part Plasma 1 part Nitrogen |
Comes into existence at 20K. As long as there is sufficient oxygen for it to react with, Cryostylane slowly cools all other reagents in the container down. Useful for delayed reactions. |
| Explosion | 1 part Potassium 1 part Water |
This explodes immediately on mixing, which may knock you over or even kill you. Cannot be stabilized with Stabilizing Agent. Only useful in grenade production. |
| Firefighting Foam | 1 part Chlorine 1 part Carbon 1 part Sulfur |
Also known as carbon tetrachloride; this is an excellent reagent for putting out fires; more effective than water---and no slipping. |
| Flash Powder | 1 part Aluminum 1 part Chlorine 1 part Potassium 1 part Sulphur |

| Fluorosurfactant | 2 parts Carbon 2 parts Fluorine 1 part Sulphuric Acid
1 part Sulfur 1 part Oxygen 1 part Hydrogen |
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. |
| Liquid Dark Matter | 1 part Plasma 1 part Radium 1 part Carbon |
When detonated it will suck in any movable object or person. Can be stabilized with Stabilizing Agent. If stabilized, heat to 473.15K to activate. |

| Pyrosium | 1 part Plasma 1 part Radium 1 part Phosphorus |
Comes into existence at 20K. As long as there is sufficient oxygen for it to react with, Pyrosium slowly heats all other reagents in the container up. Useful for delayed reactions. |
| Sonic Powder | 1 part Oxygen 1 part Cola 1 part Carbon 1 part Oxygen 1 part Water 1 part Sugar 1 part Phosphorus |
Deafens in a radius of 5 tiles. Can be stabilized with Stabilizing Agent. If stabilized, heat to 373.15K to activate. |
| Smoke | 1 part Phosphorus 1 part Potassium 1 part Sugar |
This creates a large puff of smoke that will take on the properties of everything (if anything) in the container of the reaction. The smoke will transfer the contained reagents into any mobs caught within the smoke puff, and will apply the reagents to the mobs. Great for distributing toxins in a crowded area. Can be stabilized with Stabilizing Agent. If stabilized, heat to 373.15K to activate. |
| 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 Agent. If stabilized, heat to 473.15K to activate. |
| 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. It is required only during the exact moment of mixing to inhibit the chem's reaction. As soon as you're done mixing the dangerous substance, you're free to dispose of SA.This does not work on everything, so be warned! |
| Teslium | 1 part Plasma 1 part Silver 1 part Black Powder 1 part Saltpetre 1 part Potassium 1 part Nitrogen 3 parts Oxygen 1 part Charcoal 1 part 5 parts Sodium Chloride 1 part Sodium 1 part Chlorine 1 part Water Temperature 374 K 1 part Sulfur Temperature 323k |
