About the PR
This PR reduced the strenght on several purgative chems and increased the numbers on the dialysis machine.
Chemicals that purge all chemicals have their effectiveness reduced by 40%. This applies to the following chemicals:
- calomel
- pentetic acid
- hunchback
To compensate for these changes, the dialysis machine was improved significantly. It drains and cleans blood with an 60% increased rate.
Why's this needed?
When it comes to purging chemicals, the dialysis machine is vastly outclassed in effectiveness against purgative chemicals.
Purgative chemicals, while dealing damage and having negative implications like stuns/slowdowns, are easily transportable due to pills and work with a very high efficiency. The dialysis machine, in contrast to this, is bulky and purges chems fairly slowly. the positive is being able to selectively purge non-whitelist chems only.
What this creates is that the dialysis machine is very much unused except for very serious poison cases and on RP. This makes purging chemicals, a task medbay should be the most competent for, to be relegated to people running to the bar or having a few pills prepared in chemistry.
This PR aims to make the dialysis machine, a medbay-exclusive item, able to outcompete general purgatives. From my tests, with the numbers from the PR, purges chems from a victim injected with 100u plasma with almost the same speed calomel does.
Under this point, calomel is faster for the task than the dialysis machine, above that number the dialysis machine is faster, due to chems in blood scaling with the amount of chemicals in someone.
This should be a step to further move doctors away from being glorified chem dispensers. And Purgatives are still effective due to having the ability to be very easily transportable from A to B.

(*)Calomel, hunchback and pentetic acid were found to be far less effective. To compensate, NT has greatly improved the effectiveness of its dialysis machines.PULL REQUEST DETAILS
