Spruce up that Chemistry Window!
#5
Grayshift Wrote:If you're asking for a dispenser interface update, why not include combining chemaster and reagent extractor functionality into the dispenser as well? Both machines are always included in close proximity to every dispenser (chem, bar, soviet shuttle). Gives chem a little more floorspace, makes it a little less of a headache shuffling beakers around. Hell, even the heater/cooler. With the right interface, all four chem machines could be combined into one. The old machines will still be needed in medbay and botany, even.

All good ideas to be sure. But that sounds like more of a major overhaul than I'm suggesting, and therefore would likely require more coder effort. The mockup requires no extra additional functionality and (hopefully) could be implemented a bit more easily. I think the idea of the additional machines is to make chemistry require a bit more movement and effort than simply clicking on an open window (see: genetics). These sorts of artificial speedbumps are pretty common, but the current chemistry impediment of scrolling and wrestling with the window is needlessly infuriating.
