Tweak Chill Pills To Be Less Good But Still Good

[UrsulaMejor]

Howdy.

Right now, chill pills are insanely good. Cryoxadone heals 10 oxy, 3 tox, 12 brute, and 12 burn per 0.4u

a pill of 0.5u cryostylene and 4.5u cryoxadone can heal you for 135 Brute, 135 Burn, 112 Oxy, and 33 Tox. In other words, it has a Heal/Unit ratio of 92.5!

Compare this to Stypic Powder, which 5u applied topically will heal 8.3 Damage, or a Heal/Unit ratio of 1.66.

Personally, I actually think that this level of power is fine for the cryotubes; you don't want to have to constantly be filling those, and doctors should be rewarded for transporting patients back to homebase.

However, the fact that you can easily take this power with you anywhere and basically delete someone's damage with a 5u pill sortof renders other medbay strategies a little obsolete. There's a reason why you see them basically every round.


Suggested changes:

• Cryostylene still ice-cubes you instantly
  
• Ice cubes now have health proportional to the amount of cryostylene used
  
• Ice cubes cool you down over time instead of instantly
  
• Ice cubes take damage when they cool you down, and at 0 health break themselves
  
• Cryoxadone heats up your body temperature as it works; slower than cryotubes can chill you but enough to be noticeable
  

This way, cryoxadone remains very effective in the cryotubes while requiring a bit more thought to be as effective in pill form.
