make only medical chem recipes random imo
Re: Randomize non-medical chem recipes every round - Grek - 10-12-2015
A better idea than the OP's:
Add bottles to chemistry containing "unidentified isomer #1" through "unidentified isomer #6" containing like 50 units of each. Each is chemically (same effects on ingest, touch, bloodstream, etc) and physically (same colour) identical to a different chemical in the game (possibly drawn from the centcomm icecream list?) but with a different name and a moderately unhelpful analysis entry along the lines of "An unidentified isomer with properties identical to that of some other chemical." Chemists can experiment via reactions, heating, etc. to identify the unknown chemicals. If they succeed, they have however much is left for use in reactions which involve that chemical or just on its own if it's something independently useful like booster enzymes or pure love.

Making medical chems random is a perfect way of making people make even less of them.
Also it could end up fucking you over if you're making something.
e.g: you're trying to make cyanide and end up with silver sulfadiazine (or something)

the idea was that all chems OTHER than medical chems get randomized
so silver sulfadiazine would have a static recipe while cyanide would not

However, I would like to point out that not very many chemicals in the game share the same color, so perhaps making the isomer grey or black or some other non-indicative color would work better.

I like this idea
I would play "What happens when I drink this" every round I was a scientist.

Now I've only read the first page and I just got to say. Holy hell Berrik I think this is the worst idea you every had and that's saying something.

If someone has a better idea than the OPs feel free to create a thread for it.
