Guide to Chemistry/Bay12
This guide will primarily be useful for chemists but may come in handy to any player and especially traitors.
Chemicals
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.

Reagent Cartridges
Unfortunately, your chemical dispenser does not produce chemicals like magic. Initially, you are provided with 500 units of every chemical listed above to work with. More chemical cartridges can be ordered from Cargo if you run out. You can also order empty cartridges (or create them yourself out of plastic), fill them with your own reagents, and place them into the dispenser for use. Cartridges can be renamed by right-clicking on them and choosing "Set Cartridge Label".
Formulas
These are some sample formulas for you chemists out there, ask about in game to learn more! Experimentation can be dangerous, or rewarding.
Pharmaceutical chemicals can usually be identified by a light pink-ish color.
Medicine
The vast majority of chemicals you will be called on to make. Typically, a small amount of each should be kept on hand. Assuming the medical team is not incompetent, they should be able to keep everyone alive and quite healthy with your assistance. Underlined ingredients are not in the dispenser.
Alkysine | |||||||
Формула: | 1 part Hydrochloric Acid, 1 part Ammonia, 1 part Dylovene -> 2 part Alkysine | ||||||
Применение: | Used for treating brain damage. Slighly lessens the pain. Metabolizes at 0.05 units per tick. Overdose is 30 units. |
Dylovene | |||||||
Формула: | 1 part Silicon, 1 part Ammonia, 1 part Potassium -> 3 part Dylovene | ||||||
Применение: | A broad-spectrum anti-toxin. Heals toxin damage; will also shorten the durations of drug-related hallucinations and sleepiness, and remove toxic substances in the blood. Metabolizes at 0.2 units per tick. Does not overdose. |
Arithrazine | |||||||
Формула: | 1 part Hyronalin, 1 part Hydrazine -> 2 parts Arithrazine | ||||||
Применение: | A very unstable medication used to treat the most extreme cases of radiation poisoning. It works faster than Hyronalin, but will cause some brute damage to the patient (including to the patient's cybernetic limbs). Such damage is very mild at low doses and easily treated at higher doses. It can also treat toxic damage, but not as effective as Dylovene. Metabolizes at 0.05 units per tick. Overdose is 30 units. |
Bicaridine | |||||||
Формула: | 1 part Inaprovaline, 1 part Carbon -> 2 parts Bicaridine | ||||||
Применение: | An analgesic which is highly effective at treating brute damage. It is useful for stabilizing people who have been severely beaten, as well as treating less life-threatening injuries. A (poisonous) overdose will gradually slow internal bleeding. Metabolizes at 0.2 units per tick. Overdose is 30 units. |
Cryoxadone | |||||||
Формула: | 1 part Dexalin, 1 part Water, 1 part Acetone -> 3 parts Cryoxadone | ||||||
Применение: | Required for the proper function of cryogenics. It heals all standard types of damage very swiftly, but only works in temperatures under 170K (usually this means cryo cells).

Clonexadone | |||||||
Формула: | 1 part Cryoxadone, 1 part Sodium, 0.1 parts Phoron, 5 units Phoron (catalyst) -> 2 parts Clonexadone, 5 units Phoron | ||||||
Применение: | Heals standard damage the same as Cryoxadone. This chemical reforms clones much faster then Cryoxadone. This includes damage done by Slimes. Best used in cryo cells. Only works in temperatures under 170K (usually this means cryo cells). The lower the temperature, the better it works. |

Dexalin Plus | |||||||
Формула: | 1 part Dexalin, 1 part Carbon, 1 part Iron -> 3 parts Dexalin Plus | ||||||

Hyperzine | |||||||
Формула: | 1 part Sugar, 1 part Phosphorous, 1 part Sulphur | ||||||
Применение: | A highly effective, long lasting muscle stimulant. It allows greater freedom of movement in bulky clothing. Side effects include twitching, nervousness, and psychological addiction. Metabilizes at 0.03 units per tick. Overdose is 15 units. |
Hyronalin | |||||||
Формула: | 1 part Radium, 1 part Dylovene -> 2 parts Hyronalin | ||||||
Применение: | Basic treatment for radiation damage. Reduces radiation damage more slowly than Arithrazine, but without its painful side effects. Does nothing against toxic damage. Metabolizes at 0.05 units per tick. Overdose is 30 units. |
Imidazoline | |||||||

Tramadol | |||||||
Формула: | 1 part Inaprovaline, 1 part Ethanol, 1 part Acetone | ||||||
Применение: | A simple, yet effective painkiller. Very effective for patients in shock. |
