Information
Metabolism and Overdose
Most medicines and chemicals designed for use in people, have an Overdose limit. If a person metabolises more than this much of the chemical in a short time, they will suffer the overdose effect for that chemical, which is usually a bad thing. Overdose limits vary widely, but the most common value is 30 units.
The most common overdose effect is 'Toxins', the patient will suffer 0.2 points of toxins damage per second, as long as the medicine continues metabolising in their system. This is only dependant on time, not on the quantity of the dose, so overdosing on medicines that metabolise slowly is far more dangerous, they'll keep poisoning the patient for longer.
It is important to note that metabolisation is not the same as just putting the chemicals into a patient. All chemicals that are injected into, or fed to the patient, are stored harmlessly within their body until they can be properly absorbed, or 'metabolised'. This process happens at a variable rate for each chemical, but the most common metabolic rate is 0.2 units per proc, which works out to 0.1u per second
Overdose effects do not trigger until the patient has metabolised enough to reach the overdose limit, which may take several minutes.
Whenever this document mentions the word 'dose', it refers to how much has been metabolised into the patient, not how much has been injected into their blood.
Whenever a patient has fully metabolised all the volume of a drug that is present in their stomach or blood, the dose is instantly cleared, and the drug's effects are stopped. Even if they had overdosed before, once the dose is cleared its safe to administer more of the same thing.
Catalysts
Several of the more advanced chemistry recipes take an ingredient (usually phoron) which is marked as (Catalyst)
A Catalyst is a chemical which is required to help a chemical reaction, but does not become part of the finished result. Whenever a recipe involves a catalyst, the catalyst will be left over in the beaker, alongside the finished product. You can use the ChemMaster to extract the catalyst, put it in a bottle, and reuse it later.

|
Effects:
- Instantly cures all mutations in the patient
- Instantly cures genetic disabilities in the patient
|
| Overdose Effects:
|
Notes:
- All of Ryetalyn's effects occur instantly with even the tiniest dose. Therefore 1u pills are the recommended means of providing it, more than 1u has no effect
- Does NOT cure genetic damage (AKA: Cloneloss). Only Clonexadone, Cryoxadone or Rezadone fix genetic damage
- Only cures disabilities that come from a genetic cause. Temporary blindness can be caused by flashes, which it will not cure
- There are several possible sources of mutations and disabilities:
- Being cloned usually causes a bad mutation
- Being caught outside maintenance in a radiation storm has a high chance to cause mutations
- Repeatedly flashing a vaurca inflicts blindness disability, which ryetalyn will fix
- Welding without eye protection causes blindness disability
- Certain cultist runes can (very rarely) inflict permanant blindness or deafness
- Injecting Unstable Mutagen into a patient can rarely cause mutations

- Cures stage-1 viruses very quickly
- Will have no effect on stage 2 or higher
- Does not slow or impede the progress of viruses at all after stage 1
|
| Overdose Effects:
|
Notes:
- It is important to note that unlike most other drugs, all of spaceacillin's effects (except overdose Toxins) are based on how much of the medicine is in the patient's bloodstream or stomach, NOT how much has actually been metabolised. If the amount in the patient falls below the listed thresholds, its effects will stop working, so always inject more than needed.
|
| Sterilizine
|
| 1 part Dylovene, 1 part Ethanol, 1 part Chlorine
|
| Metabolisation: 0.1u/tick

Sedatives
Sedatives put people to sleep. Useful for surgery when anaesthetic gas won't work, for dealing with troublesome patients who won't sit still, and in dire situations, for self defense.
| Soporific
|
| 1 unit Chloral Hydrate, 4 units Sugar
|
| Metabolisation: 0.05u/tick
|
Overdose: 30u
|
| A moderately effective hypnotic used to treat insomnia, perform surgery in critical cases, and keep unruly patients asleep until security can deal with them.
|
Effects:
- At <1u dose
- Causes yawning every 8 seconds on average
- At <1.5u dose
- Causes blurred vision, Strength 10
- At <5u dose
- Causes Weakening, Strength 2
- Causes drowsiness, Strength 20
- At >=5u dose
- Causes Sleep, strength 20
- Causes Drowsiness, strength 60
|
| Overdose Effects:
|
Notes:
- Soporific is widely available in the vending machines in medical, there is very little reason to actually make it in chemistry.
- Drowsiness causes slower movement, blurred vision, and an approximate 15% chance every two seconds, to fall asleep for a couple of seconds.
- The following values are based on a combination of calculation and live testing. The results are not 100% consistent, as it varies due to server performance
- At a sufficiently high volume, soporific will reach a 5u dose and cause the patient to fall asleep in about 110 seconds. They may fall asleep earlier than that from the drowsiness, but that's temporary and isn't safe for surgery
- Once the patient is asleep, they will stay asleep roughly 21 seconds for every unit in their blood after the fifth. A full 15u syringe will keep someone asleep for three and a half minutes. Each additional 15u will extend that time by another 5 minutes and 15 seconds.
- Once the dose falls low enough, the patient will wake after roughly another 45 seconds.
|
| Chloral Hydrate
|
| 3 parts Chlorine, 1 part Ethanol, 1 part Water
|
| Metabolisation: 0.05u/tick
|
Overdose: 15u
|
| An extremely powerful sedative that quickly incapacitates most people at even a tiny dose. It is effective for subduing violent patients, or as a self defense tool, to allow escape. It is not entirely safe, and will poison the subject to some degree.
|
Effects:
- Once only, immediately upon injecting:
- Causes Confusion at strength 2 (the patient stumbles around, and fails randomly at actions)
- Causes Drowsyness at strength 2
- At <2u dosage
- Causes Weakness, strength 30 (this causes the patient to collapse, and be unable to move or interact)
- Causes blurred vision, at strength 10
- At >1u dosage, the patient suffers 1 point of toxin damage per unit.
- At >=2u dosage, causes sleep, strength 30
|
| Overdose Effects:
|
Notes:
- The toxins from the overdose effect stacks with the toxin damage a normal dose causes. An overdose can be somewhat harmful, but 15u is nowhere near lethal.
- The following values are based on a combination of calculation and live testing. The results are not 100% consistent, as it varies due to server performance
- Chloral hydrate will trigger its weakness effect on the second proc, this happens three seconds after intial injection.
- At a sufficiently high volume, Chloral Hydrate will reach a 2u dose and cause the patient to fall asleep in about 40 seconds.
- Once the patient is asleep, they will stay asleep roughly 21 seconds for every unit in their blood after the second. A 5u dosage will keep someone asleep for approximately 1 minute 3 seconds.
- Once the dose falls low enough, the patient will wake after roughly another 65 seconds.

|
Effects:
- Deals 10 toxin damage per unit.

- Weakens the patient, strength 10 (prevents movements or actions)
- This effect is instant, and constantly refreshed while it's metabolising
- Reduces the patient's losebreath counter, but not below 10.
- This has a really neglible effect in even the most critical suffocation patients, and no effect in minor cases
- It will reduce the time it takes the patient to start recovering, once they can breathe again (ie, once their lungs are fixed)
- This tiny benefit is irrelevant compared to the harm this medicine does.
|
| Overdose Effects:
|
Notes:
- Does not stop the patient's heart.
- To treat: Remove with dialysis, then administer dylovene and dexalin
