Later, Xenobotany was added to the outpost, with the intention of having them to mooch off of it.\r\nI searched through the chemistry logs to find out exactly what use do people really give it.\r\nHere's the Top Five Scientist-Approved Chemicals:\r\n\r\n# 1- Chloral Hydrate\r\nYep. The chemical that gets made the most often in the Science Outpost is chloral hydrate. Out of 5928 rounds scanned, 3575 of them had someone make it using the roundstart outpost chemdispenser. That is **60.3%** of all rounds. This includes lowpop and short rounds, in a 2hr midpop+ round, that number may be as high as 75%.\r\n\r\n# 2- Hyperzine\r\nIt's no secret that scientists are hyperzine junkies. Hyperzine is made in 50.8% of all rounds, and an average of 122u are made in each round that it gets made. Xenoarchaeology somewhat needs their hyperzine, but there's a Xenoarchaeologist in a lot less than 51% of all rounds... where does the rest come from?\r\n\r\n# 3- Unstable Mutagen\r\nIt seems that the chemdispenser is used more for xenobotany than xenoarchaeology. The interesting part is seeing how much of it gets made. Mutagen is made in 33% of rounds, and on average, 105.1u are made each round that it gets made, with instances of people making 270u or more in one round. So, theoretically, a bucket full of mutagen should be enough for most players, with the possibility of getting more from elsewhere.\r\n\r\n# 4- Anti-Toxin\r\nYikes. People figured out anti-toxin makes you immune to chloral, and so 148491u of anti-toxin have been made in total. It's only made 30.7% of the time, but when it gets made, a few recurrent ckeys literally empty the chemdispenser energy pumping their veins with enough antitoxin to last them for the rest of the round. The powergame is literally out of this world, lads.\r\n\r\n# 5- Lithiumsodiumtungstate\r\nOh hey! It's the literal reason for the chemdispenser's existence. It's only seen 25.9% of rounds, however, and when it gets made, people only make one 30u batch in average. Hmmm. Looks like the chemdispenser could just have been replaced with a beaker of oxygen, a small vial of sodium, a syringe of lithium, and a syringe of tungsten. And... just that would have been enough for xenoarch.\r\nBut even weirder than that is that it seems half of that lithiumsodiumtungstate is never actually used. Density separated samples (the thing you use this chemical for) are only created 12% of rounds. Really makes me think...\r\n\r\nSo, now that the dust has settled, and now that you are armed with the full picture, do you think the Science Outpost Chemdispenser was a good addition?"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/vgstation-coders/vgstation13/issues/comments/344479336","html_url":"https://github.com/vgstation-coders/vgstation13/issues/16571#issuecomment-344479336","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/vgstation-coders/vgstation13/issues/16571","id":344479336,"user":{"login":"DrSnips","id":28679186,"avatar_url":"https://avatars2.githubusercontent.com/u/28679186?v=4","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/DrSnips","html_url":"https://github.com/DrSnips","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/DrSnips/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/DrSnips/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/DrSnips/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/DrSnips/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/DrSnips/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/DrSnips/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/DrSnips/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/DrSnips/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/DrSnips/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2017-11-15T04:01:32Z","updated_at":"2017-11-15T04:01:32Z","author_association":"CONTRIBUTOR","body":"With antitoxin also being used to offset overdose damage of hyperzine it's clear why it's a popular chem not for just chloral resistance. I would like to blame this on xenoarch suits for being super shit and having a huge amount of slowdown. This leads to making a whole lot of hyperzine and to aid it a whole lot of antitoxin. So let's say we cut those two chems out and where does this bring the actual xenoarch chem? Right up to spot number 3."}}
