Chemistry nerfs

[Kotlol]

I would say for more exotic things sure why not. But base metals and silver no. There are a bunch of recipes that require iron most importantly stabilizer, and silver for silver sulf, that are kind of essential to do your job. Not to mention that now on a low pop round it means if you don’t have a mining crew an additional department is now sol.

Then there is the whole trying to teach this to a new player is going to be even more of a nightmare than chemistry can already be.

There will be amount of iron and silv from the start in our idea. It just RUNS OUT.

The mining crew/Cargo is there to REFILL IT.

It just means certain chems are in limited supply there for, it won't be spammed.
If you as an antagonist want to make an unstable mutagen bomb.. you will have to get more radium.

That's the suggestion.
More chem extracting and mining interaction, but not "YOU DONT HAVE IT" More like: "ITS IN LIMITED SUPPLY"
