• Why does the alcohol dispenser have every alcoholic drink in it? Or is that just you testing?
  
• I can't think of anything we really use state of matter for, outside of some very specific interactions with some specific reagents, so feel like that's a lot of visual noise. I would look to maybe just use a solid circle with the reagent color?
  
• You don't need to insert an ID to save groups - inserting an ID just means the groups get saved with that ID, so ejecting it hides them (i.e. you can create groups without inserting an ID). Basically, "Insert ID to Save Groups" is somewhat misleading.
  
• I'd definitely look to make a way to create reagent groups without the current input popup. Why not just a "name" text box and "contents" text box underneath the existing reagent groups with a "Create" button next to it that, when pressed, adds the group as a new row and moves down?

1. The alcohol dispenser is in the afterlife bar i was just showing it can display all the drinks without breaking the UI.
   
2. I'll switch to using solid circles or squares or whatever icon looks best.
   
3. I'll change it to say "Insert ID" instead.
   
4. I'll look into implementing the box into the UI.
   Thanks for the feedback

It would be nice to access these shiny changes as Borg by default (yes I'm a pain in the ass)

I don't feel like it makes it harder to look at, so I would support leaving it in.

Also, on the concept of chemgroups:
It would be super sick if one could press a button to "start recording" and while it's on, whenever you click a chem it gets added to the current chemgroup in that amount instead of dispensing it. Would be much less of a hassle than having to type stuff out!

Somehow it's hard to find a specific word in a table of words, partly cus my vision sucks and I have cluwne-level reading speed, so a more unique-looking identifier thing would really help!

Would be really useful on the standard chem dispenser for each of the reagent button icon things to be different colors. I know, most of the chems are the same color in-game, but it could be solved by adding a var to these uncolored chems that defines another color. I could even help with that~~

I think the icons and there color should match the material, but the buttons background color could vary a bit from that standard blue or grey background?
