You start in Medbay. You mess with all sorts of chemicals. That's it. Some of the time you can do what ever you feel like for most of the round or make stuff to deal with the security officers or syndicate fucking with shit in your lab. Be sure to keep the station stocked with plastic, and keep your nose out of those space drugs!
Bare minimum requirements: Stock the dispenser up with some beneficial medicine before you go off on your own chemical adventures. Make the cure for diseases when they appear.
The chemical research lab is located in Medbay. It provides enough work space for two people
Getting Things Done
Chemists are naturally suspicious individuals. They've got all the tools in the world to break in wherever they desire and/or kill people in all sorts of horrifying and inhumane ways. An easy way to allay this suspicion - whether you plan on doing something suspicious or not - is to make yourself useful to the station at the game's beginning. Any accidents are likely to be blamed on your coworker, then, if you have one.
Tools of the trade
- The Chem Dispenser turns electrical energy into a variety of basic chemicals, through
magicscience. It's one of the few things on the station that's truly irreplaceable, so guard it with your life. - The ChemMaster 3000 can magically separate chemicals, and has the ability to produce an limitless supply of 15 unit pills, 30 unit bottles, and 40 unit patches.
- The Reagent Grinder is identical to the grinder the Chef has. It can be used to extract chemical reagents from things the Shaft Miners, Chef, and Botanists produce.
- The Chemical Heater is important for making many recipes that require high temperatures to mix.
- Inside the locker to the north you will find boxes of pill bottles. On the table to the south is a hand labeller. These combined will allow you to store and distribute pills more effectively.
Being helpful
Roundstart
If someone comes and requests something from you, make sure you fulfill them first. No one likes a chemist doing his own thing as they have to stand there waiting. If you are in the middle of something, inform them that you will be right with them. If you are unsure as to what to make ask the doctors or your CMO.
- For the whole crew and especially doctors:
- Make styptic powder, silver sulfadiazine, synthflesh, and charcoal patches. Small pills containing eye, ear and brain healing chemicals such as Inacusiate, Oculine, Mannitol and Neurine are also good.
- Put these on the front desk, or in the chemical storage at the bottom of your lab.
- Pills/patches for the injured:
- Styptic Powder (Aluminum, Hydrogen, Oxygen, Sulfuric Acid - heals brute)
- Silver Sulfadiazine (Ammonia, Silver, Sulfur, Oxygen, Chlorine - heals burn)
- Synthflesh (Styptic Powder, Carbon, Blood - heals both brute and burn on corpses and allow them to be unhusked)
- Charcoal (Ash and Table Salt - heals toxins)
- Salbutamol (Salicylic Acid, Lithium, Bromine, Ammonia, Aluminum - heals oxy)
- For atmos techs and station engineers as they can use these to plug hull breaches quickly, don't hand these to everyone:
- Make about 30 units of foaming agent (not fluorosulfactant!) and fluorosulfuric acid, place 10 units of each into 3 separate beakers
- Make 90 units of Iron, place 30 units of each into 3 other seperate beakers
- Add one beaker of Acid + Foaming Agent and one beaker of Iron to a grenade, this is a metal foam grenade, if you use the correct amounts you should have made 3 of them
If You Want to be Especially Awesome
- The Botanists will benefit from unstable mutagen to mutate plants. They can also use diethylamine as a fertilizer, fluorosulfuric acid to efficiently kill plants, a dropper for precise mutations and space cleaner to clean up dissolved plant goo.
- The Virologist will want unstable mutagen and synaptizine to make new and exciting diseases.
- Geneticists can benefit from a supply of potassium iodide or charcoal pills to treat high radiation levels in themselves and their subjects, plus extra anti-toxin to heal radiation damage.
- The Janitor might want you to refill his space cleaner bottle, especially if the virologist has infected the entire station and there's vomit everywhere. You can also make drying agent, which they can put on their boots to dry tiles that they walk over.
- You can help the Chef as well: sulfuric acid is used to make soy sauce.
- The Bartender might request various chemicals to make cocktails with, though bear in mind that a bartender who wants anything particularly toxic is probably up to no good.
- The Warden might request various chemicals to use in implants for prisoners, to ensure they don't re-offend.

- In the case of a rogue AI or an alien hive, various people will want thermite in order to break through reinforced or resin walls.
- Enable the reagent scanner on your PDA and test the food and drinks at the bar and kitchen for tampering. This can also be used on people to find out what they've been poisoned with.
- You aren't far from either the waiting room or the sleepers and cryogenics, so if there are no Medical Doctors around, feel free to grab a health analyzer and start treating patients.

CHEM 101
See the Guide to chemistry for a list of some of the possible mixtures.
Grenades
As a chemist, you are pretty much the only person with access to grenade materials. You can fit two beakers worth of ANY COMBINATION of lab-juice you have created, a staggering 100 units, into any one grenade assembly. You can take out the containers by clicking on the grenade in your hand, but the containers are expended (obviously) when the grenade is used. It is possible to use medicine, water, or more devious items into a grenade. The mix and matching of different chemical formulas may not always go as planned, but what's science without experimentation?
Keep in mind, making grenades that harm others will get you robusted in the least, and possibly jobbanned if you are not an antagonist.
Building Grenades 101
- Grab a cable coil from the desk, or make an assembly from stock parts
- Wire the grenade casing by hitting it with the triggering mechanism
- Stuff the unsecured grenade full of chemistry containers (bottles/beakers). It holds up to two of them.
- Screwdriver shut, you can also use the screwdriver to tweak the timer.
- Activate the grenade in your hand to prime it if wired, or use the other method
For reactions that go off when mixed, you want them separated into two bottles. For more on chemical reactions, see the Guide to chemistry. See also grenades.
Pills and Patches
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 15 units of material at one time, and up to seven can be stored in a pill bottle! They are even small enough to store in your pockets. Patches are similar to pills, but work in a touch-based way rather than ingestion. Things like synthflesh and styptic powder only work in patches and will only damage the user if put into pills.
Chemicals to put into pills
- Epinephrine for stabilizing the critically injured
- Charcoal to treat toxin damage
- Syptic Powder to treat brute damage
- Silver Sulfadiazine to treat burn damage
- Mannitol treats brain damage
- Oculine treats physical eye damage
- Inacusiate to treat ear damage
- Synaptizine to treat the hallucinations cause by a Supermatter's delamination and lowers the duration of stuns, but causes toxin damage.
- A mixture of leporazine and salbutamol will allow a person to survive longer in space without a suit
- Always make synthflesh so the medical doctors can revive husks.
- 1 unit pills of mutadone remove all genetic defects and superpowers like a clean SE injector, useful for the recently cloned, or if high levels of radiation occur near the station
- If the cure for a disease spreading around the station is something you can produce, then make pills of it! If the virologist comes through with vaccine, 5u pills of it are enough to cure and immunize people.
Bottles
Bottles should contain material that is not medicine, such as acids, or medicines that should not be used all at once, like cryoxadone. Each bottle can hold only 30 units, and can be splashed onto things. They can be produced infinitely from your ChemMaster, so feel free to go nuts.
- Thermite
- Acids
- Cryoxadone
- Space cleaner
- Touch-based medicines
Tips
- The effects of chloral don't work if you drink coffee beforehand. You'll still take damage if the dose was high enough but you don't get knocked out. Anti-toxin completely negates chloral, however.
- The effects of different chemicals stack, meaning if you slap someone with a 50% silver sulf 50% syptic powder patch they'll heal both damage types at the same time, add a bit of omnizine to other chemicals and it’s no longer as useless.
- Foam and smoke carry reagents. Foam will continuously apply the reagent's touch effect, while smoke will cause repeated ingestion. One can release a synthflesh foam grenade to heal someone from critical to full health almost instantly, or use a fluorosulfuric smoke grenade to make everyone's stuff melt off and deal absolutely insane amounts of damage.
- Grenades are great for everything. Experiment!
- If you go to the chef at round start and grab a heated donk pocket, and then to the chaplain for some holy water (bring a beaker), you now have the stuff to make Strange Reagent, which can literally bring people back from the dead. Laugh at the geneticists as they space themselves after becoming effectively useless. Also, this strange reagent can be diluted with other reagents. It only requires 0.4u of strange reagent to revive someone.
- Strange Reagent can only revive someone with less than 100 brute and 100 burn damage. This does not stack; 99 brute and 99 burn means they can still be revived.
- You don't need a grenade for foam. You can have fluorosurfactant in a beaker and a bottle of equal water. Combine the two to produce grenadeless foam.
- Medbay lobby looking like a chainsaw massacre? Let loose some space cleaner foam and watch as medical bay is magically cleaned and the janitor infuriated.
- Caramel can be created by heating up sugar to high temperatures which is then used for the creation of certain treats.
- Want to make pyroxadone but having a hard time getting omnizine? If there's a botanist, ask them to make deus ambrosia. You can grind it down and separate the omnizine from it.
Tips for Antagonizing
- Some chemicals are absolutely amazing in damage. If you fill a spray bottle with chlorine trifluoride, you will literally spray fire.
- You can put pretty much any deadly chemical into patches. Make some fluorosulfuric acid patches labeled "Synthflesh," or put some chlorine trifluoride and phlogiston into a patch and anyone who uses it will be lit on fire instantly with no way of putting themselves out without an extinguisher or space.
- If you're a traitor, you can pray to trade your telecrystals for a chem sprayer. If the admins are
absolutely fucking insanenice, they'll give you a tool which can hold 300 units of any chemical. You can start cackling now. - Make a foam grenade with fluorosulfuric acid, chlorine trifluoride, space lube, and phlogiston. You now have a server-lagging, hull-breach causing, people-obliterating grenade full of liquid holocaust. Drop it behind you during a security chase and laugh as your pursuers fall into it and have their gear melted away before dying instantly from the acid.
- Some of the bartender's drinks are very powerful. For example, Neurotoxin can cause various effects, including brain damage, slurred speech, dizziness, and limb paralysis for anyone affected by it. This should not be confused with the neurotoxin that causes toxin damage, which also shares the same name.
- If you emag a service borg, they can produce infinite amounts of "beer" that will instantly put someone to sleep when they ingest it.
- If you can somehow get lethal syringes from Security, they hold fifty units and fit in syringe guns. You can have much more powerful deathmixes if you use one of these, but try not to miss as they cannot be replaced!
- Do not underestimate the power of foam. Even with no reagents, it can provide a barrier and prevent people from getting by without slipping.
- "Accidentally" leave some fluorosulfuric acid in the cryo tubes. Unattentive doctors will just flick it on and walk away as the patient dies screaming. Expect to be lynched, however.
- You can make drugs like methamphetamine to move very fast and have stun reduction in combat, but only take small amounts.
- Aranesp, a narcotic, is one of the most insanely lethal things in the game. It does crazy oxygen damage and can kill people in seconds.
- Traitors can buy a special kit for six telecrystals. This box contains ten bottles of horrible poisons that are also very effective in killing people.
- You have an array of syringes that you can produce at your department TechFab, after they have been reserached by R&D. These include a bluespace syringe which has a large capacity, and a piercing syringe which can go through hard suits, good for use on armored targets like security personnel.
- Addictions and overdoses can be a deadly weapon; fill someone up with 15 units of bath salts, and if they live, they'll wish that they didn't.
Chemical-X
Chemistry is one of the most dangerous jobs on the medical staff, and it's easy to be a good Traitor as such. A LOT of the chemicals you have access to will kill when injected. Access to grenades is a plus. If you can find a room with a light switch, you can inject the light bulbs with liquid plasma while they're off, then enjoy the show as someone flips the lights on.
If you're the paranoid type you could potentially acid your own face to screw up your identity, which now lists you as Unknown. The only problems are that Unknowns are naturally suspicious types and people are often quite suspicious of the chemist running around anywhere other than the chemlab. It will probably end up in a interrogation.
