The handheld version of course would have a very limited amount of reagents it could synthesize before running out and requiring a refill from somewhere, maybe deep space?i agree with the idea that the stationary chemicompiler should have a large pool of basic reagents (not infinite maybe, instead have 3-400 and use a refill cartridge you can order from QM maybe) and each reagent should have a number value. (1-30? idk how many basic reagents there are)
The thing is utterly useless, as it's so much faster and easier to just make the stuff by hand in a chemical dispenser. It's 10x harder to use than any other piece of equipment in chemistry, and yet it's a lot less useful. Even if it were buffed to have an internal synthesizer, it would still take a lot of effort to make programs for it, so your average pubby wouldn't be able to make hellchems with it (they'd just use the bar's chem dispenser, anyways). The CC would probably just help make the complex medicines that chemists can't be bothered to make since they're making hellchems, like atropine and salbutamol ((salbutamol is seriously underused by the way, if you have an IV drip of it you just don't need to breathe anymore, and it has no downsides to it)).
the handheld compiler should probably have no internal synthesiser, since its portable!
i dont agree with the idea for a faster transfer rate, though. ive messed around with making loads of critters with the compiler before, and it happens plenty fast and doesnt need a buff.
and i think that you should maybe be able to set the heat rate, since my main gripe with the compiler is that heating does take forever! maybe allow it to either automatically move on to the next step when a heat/cooling reaction takes place, or add a seperate criterea for the temperature heating rate as well as the temperature target?
