Uff, yeah this won't work most of the time.
Look, medbay appreciates the shit ton of synthflesh SCI SOMETIMES makes, but if someone is a medical supplier, it's Botany.
The Chemical Request console doesn't work in the sense that SCI on the other end doesn't gives a shit and RD is reliably unavailable at any given moment.
To clarify, this isn't because Scientists are aweful people or anything, but that:
A: SCI doesn't benefits in any direct way from completing the requests (And usually don't have any fun with them either and especially the bothersome longer ones are immediately dropped me).
B: Unlike Botany, SCI is more a playground for a lot of different things, without a ridgid gameplay loop that at one end benefits someone.
And that's okay, but is also the reason there is different mindset at hand which seconds to do requests when they are doing something important for themselves.
SCI has already attempted cooperative tasks, you know, the Singularity could REALLY use some super cooled Plasma, but everytime you request it is either not happening or you need to do it yourself.
Again, same reasons as above apply.
You are effectively nerfing medbay without gain, because theoretically the very system you want to make unavoidable, is already there and absolutely not working.
EDIT: Also really not a fan of access of the restricted medicine locker being given to a role that might just take it for non-medical reasons.
EDIT 2The Electric Boogaloo:
WOW, I just realized it's already added, in the span of TWO hours without community feedback OR any testmerges, what the heck.
So additional reasons why this is a terrible change:
1. Medical has even less to do now since you can't prepare chems, especially in the downtime without patients, thanks for that.
2. The Pharmacist will definitely be used at times as +1 Scientists when the slots are full.
Meaning even when the role is picked, medbay just gets double the neglect at times.
3. And this one is to point out the hypocrisy, which makes me question the lack of peripheral view on the game or blatant favoritism of this change-
Why on earth has the Bar (Chef/Bartender) now the only independent unobstructed access to a Chempenser?
At least double down see how people react to that too.
