As a Chemist your job is to mix chemicals for the [[Jobs#Medical | medical staff]] to use. Your work will be needed mostly by [[Medical Doctor]]s as they often require important chemicals. You also have the option to make grenades (doesn't work), but using them or making them without clearance can get you brigged (or possibly banned).

As a chemist you'll either be swamped with requests or have none at all. A good chemist revels in making busy work constantly for themselves regardless. It's nice to keep spare bottles/pills of commonly requested medicine, even if no one asked for it yet. Clonexadone is usually one of the first things requested since it's used in the Cryopods and to make synth meat for the cloners. Since people will eventually get cloned and need Alkysine, make some of it as well. Making pills of Dexalin Plus is also useful, doctors and paramedics can save lives with it. Making spaceacillin or tricordrazine is often a good idea.

Other handy things that are often requested are bicaridine for brute damage, dermaline for burn damage, lipozine for weight loss and imidazoline for eye damage. If you can, having Tramadol, Oxycodone and Peridaxon is a nice touch, even if they end up not getting used.
Often you're going to encounter other employees asking you for certain chemicals. While giving the botanist some unstable mutagen and the virologist some radium is normal, you should probably ask the Chief Medical Officer if getting that Assistant some space drugs is a good idea.
Run some ethylredoxrazine down to the barkeep, they'll appreciate you making a pill bottle full. Science and Robotics will ask you for sulphuric acid quite regularly. Feel free to give them as much as you can afford. Botany/Hydroponics will sometimes request Unstable Mutagen in a bucket for their plants. Virology asks for Radium and the Janitor might request Space Cleaner.

=== Grenades ===
As a chemist, you are pretty much the only person with access to grenade materials. You can fit two regular beakers in a grenade casing. This means potentially 100 units of whatever concoction you want. It is possible to use medicine, water, or more devious items in a grenade. The mixing and matching of different chemical formulas may not always go as planed, but that's just how science goes. Keep in mind, making and using grenades that harm others will get you brigged in the least, and possible job banned if you weren't traitor.
==== Building Grenades 101 ====
#Use some cable coil in the grenade case to wire it.
#Add your beakers of chemicals.
#Screwdriver the case to lock it.
Activate it in hand to prime the grenade, the game will automatically put you into throw mode.
==== Deconstructing A Locked Grenade ====
#Use a wirecutter on the grenade.
#Use a wrench to deconstruct it and eject the beakers.

As a Chemist your job is to mix chemicals for the medical staff to use. Your work will be needed mostly by Medical Doctors as they often require important chemicals.

Overview

You mix and deliver chemicals. That's it. Some of the time you can do what ever you feel like, but for most of the round you'll be making chemicals for the medical staff.

Knowing Your Chemicals

As a chemist you'll either be swamped with requests or have none at all. A good chemist revels in making busy work constantly for themselves regardless. It's nice to keep spare bottles/pills of commonly requested medicine, even if no one asked for it yet. Cryoxadone is usually one of the first things requested since it's used in the Cryopods and to make synth meat for the cloners. It's a good idea to have some experience as a Medical Doctor to have an idea of what meds are useful to make.

Often you're going to encounter other employees asking you for certain chemicals. While giving the botanist some unstable mutagen and the virologist some radium is normal, you should probably ask the Chief Medical Officer if getting that Assistant some space drugs is a good idea.

Mixing

You can mix chemicals in a few ways, but the easiest way is to add a beaker to the chemical dispenser and then dispense appropriate amounts of base chemicals. If the mixture is correct, the solution will bubble and you'll now have a some of your end product chemical.

Mixing directly from other beakers, droppers and syringes also helps if you need a certain amount of each chemical. Just click one holder on another to pour some of the solution.

Adding any solution to a ChemMaster 3000 will let you isolate and make pills or bottles of chemicals you add to it.

Pills

Pills are a great way to give large amount of medicine at once. If you are going to make medicine that will be single serve, make it pill form. Each pill can hold 50 units of material at one time, and up to seven can be stored in a pill bottle! These are even small enough to store in your pockets. As a cautionary note, remember that most chemicals will cause toxic damage from overdose over 30 units, so be careful how much you add to a pill. Normally, people go for 5 units or 10 units per pill.

Good Examples for pills:

  • Perfluorodecalin: Heals massive amounts of respiratory damage, stabilizes patients with ruptured lungs.
  • Pentetic Acid: Heals massive amounts of toxin damage and purges all other chemicals, dealing small amounts of burn and brute damage.
  • Mannitol: Heals brain damage.
  • Mutadone: Cures all genetics defects, works in trace amounts of less than one unit.
  • Saline-Glucose Solution: Efficiently heals brute and burn damage over a longer period of time.
  • Oculine: Heals eye and ear damage.
  • Mitocholide: Heals internal organ damage, a less risky and faster alternative to surgery.

Bottles

Bottles are meant to contain material that should not be used all at once, like Cryoxadone. They can also be used to store reagents you're going to use in chemistry later on. Each bottle can hold only 30 units, and can be splashed onto things. Syringes can draw liquids from them and inject it later, making them useful in combination with syringes.

Good Examples for bottles:

  • Cryoxadone: Used in the cryocells and to make synthmeat for restocking the cloner.

Even better Examples for bottles:

  • Thermite: Used for setting people on fire and burning through walls.
  • FluoroSulphuric Acid: Used for making people look like cheese on a burned pizza and destroying evidence.
  • Space Lube: Used for making people slip on the lubed up floor and break bones if you're lucky enough.

Patches

Chemical patches when applied chemicals will directly be used when applied on a body

Good examples for patches:

  • Silver Sulfadiazine: Heals burn damage
  • Styptic Powder: Heals brute damage
  • Synthflesh: Heals both brute and burn damage much more efficiently, but takes a bit longer to make.

Useful Information

  • It's a good thing to prepare the most commonly used medicines right at the beginning. You'll score some respect with the Doctors and will be able to use your lab to engage yourself in more questionable activities.
  • When someone requests something dangerous/annoying that is obviously not for their job, it's usually a good idea to ask the CMO for permission or tell the person to get a perscription from a doctor. You never know if you will get fired/arrested for it.
  • If you lack blood to make synthflesh or other chemicals with ask Genetics to give you a monkey cube, unpack it and put it in a sink to get yourself a monkey filled with fresh blood.
  • A good idea is getting a few buckets to use instead of the normal beakers, as they can hold 120 units of reagents, making them very useful in certain recipes.
  • It's good practice to unlock the pill bottle lockers, as doctors might want to use them and they lack the access themselves.
  • A good chemist will prepare a few pill bottles filled with assorted medicine and give them out to doctors.
  • If RnD upgrades the medical sleepers located in medbay it might be easier to simply load a patient into them, fill them with the sleeper's medicine and dialysis it out for a much faster process of 'making' certain meds.


Traitoring

Chemistry is one of the most dangerous jobs on the Med/Sci staff, and it's easy to be a good Traitor. A LOT of the chemicals you have access to will kill when injected. Access to grenades is a plus, not the mention for infinite sedative refills. Remember to keep it sane and stealthy. A bunch of naplam grenades thrown around will not win you any points.
