Job Description

Chemists work as part of medical to supply the doctors with lifesaving medicines, greatly speeding up the treatment of patients. Chemists also assist the rest of the crew with their own requests, providing Botany with fertilizers, Security with gunpowder, and so on.

Chemists are vital to the operation of the Medical department, as damage types like Poison, Radiation, and Genetics cannot be healed through surgery or topicals. See Chemistry for a guide.

The Lab

A typical chemistry lab has 2-3 chemists maximum, each with their own Chemical Dispenser and ChemMaster 4000.

Chemistry Machines

Icon Machine Description
Chemical Dispenser Allows you to produce basic chemicals using power from it's internal battery, with varying costs. Insert a beaker to get started!
ChemMaster 4000 Allows you to move any chemical between a beaker, and the internal storage of the machine. While nothing reacts within the storage, reactions still occur within the beaker!
ChemVend A vending machine containing empty jugs, and many more pre-filled jugs of basic chemicals from the dispensers, for when you need them in bulk.
Hotplate Gradually heats chemicals within a beaker placed on it, the fuller the beaker, the longer it takes.
Reagent Grinder Allows the grinding and juicing of plants, pills, and other materials into an inserted beaker.
Electrolysis Unit Breaks down more complex chemicals into less complex ones. Insert a beaker and press to start.
Tabletop Centrifuge Separates chemicals that are otherwise impossible to separate using momentum. only accepts vials.
Condenser Slowly turns gasses into their liquid chemical form when given input from gas pipes or a connector port.
