Guide to Ghetto Chemistry: Difference between revisions

== Starting out ==

So, you are an average [[Assistant|Greytide]] and you want to be a Walter White. How do you do it?

=== Knowledge ===

* You need a decent understanding of [[Guide_to_chemistry|chemistry]]: You are going to be cooking without the luxury of a [[Medical_items#Chem_Dispenser|chem dispenser]] after all, so you will need many additional steps for your workarounds.

* Make a plan of what to get and where to get it. Don't be afraid to make a small shopping-list.

* Think of <s>excuses</s> valid reasons and explanations ahead of time. The [[Detective]] will try to do his best to prevent you from learning more about chemistry, so be sure to not get locked up due to some unfortunate missunderstanding.

=== Tools of the trade ===

|Talk to [[Assistant|anyone]] lurking around toolstorage or the bar without having the [[Bartender]] or any other bystanders call security on you. If you are really desperate and feel a bit lucky, you can always ask the [[Clown]] for help.

'''TL;DR:''' Go to the holodeck and boot up the medical program!

=== It's getting hot in here ===

Since we don't have a machine to heat our chemicals, we have to do it by hand. To avoid [[Guide_to_chemistry#Meth_Explosion|meth explosions]] we should know how it works:

* Chemicals don't adjust their temperature (aka 'cool') over time.

* Products of chemical reactions (including the [[Guide_to_drinks|bartender's drinks]]) keep their reagents temperature. Except the reaction is endothermic / exothermic

You can heat chemicals beyond '''1000K''' by manually heating them with lighters / zippos / welding tools, though the heating process is not linear (each use adds 1K at least).

== Getting chemicals ==

=== Short Summary ===

* Contents of '''droppers / bottles''' can be transferred

* '''Syringes''' can be injected

=== Liquid extraction ===

Use a container like a glass and fill it with the liquid you need. Simple as that. Some liquids require a dropper / syringe to extract however.

|Using any container you can scoop up liquid gibs (5u), glowing goo(Radium, 5u) [[Guide_to_chemistry#Oil|Motor Oil]] (30u) and [[Guide_to_chemistry#Ash|Ash]] (30u). Nobody will bother you doing your part in cleaning up the station, right?

=== Grinding ===

Not only can you steal things, you can shove them into a grinder / mortar and pestle to retrieve chemicals from them!

=== Ready to go ===

Some reagents are hidden in plain sight and just need to be used without further grinding. There is often treasure to be found in the chemistry-fridges, too.

=== Deconstructing Chemical Grenades ===

You can extract contents from [[Grenade|grenades]] by deconstructing them, if you manage to get your hands on one in the first place. Reagents and quantities depend on what people put inside the grenade of course. There are some other types of grenades which can't be used though, most notably the flash- and the smoke-grenade.
