Chem dispenser quality of life suggestions
#1
I'm really enjoying the group system on goon chem dispensers, but there are some little things that could vastly improve their usability. Sorry if these have already been posted or are already in-game, fairly new to goon mechanics.
  • Allow groups to stack chems


So as of right now (or as far as I know), you can't stack chems in a group. Let's say I make an Ammonia group by typing "nitrogen;hydrogen;hydrogen;hydrogen," it will come out as only 10u nitrogen and 10u hydrogen. Many recipes recquire lots of one chem and little of another, so this doesn't exactly help. Allowing us to stack chems, such as hydrogen;hydrogen;hydrogen for 30u of hydrogen, would solve that issue.
  • Let players input the amount of each chem they want
Instead of "nitrogen" input automatically coming out as 10u, you could type "20nitrogen" in order to receive 20u, or whatever amount you put in.
  • Inputted chems should be produced in order, rather than all at once
This is a big one, as combining a bunch of base chemicals all at once can lead to the wrong chemical being created, whereas this would allow you to input which chems are produced first to last. For example, "hydrogen;chlorine;bromine" would produce hydrogen first, then chlorine, and then bromine.



To give you guys an idea of how useful these could be, I'll provide an example:
  • Cryoxadone is a much needed chem for stabilizing people and healing fresh clones. Let's check out the recipe: Cryostylane + Plasma + Acetone + Unstable Mutagen. Yeah, a bit of a pain in the ass. But with the above suggestions, it could registered in a chem group as "5Water;5Plasma;5Nitrogen;5Radium;5Plasma;5Chlorine;5plasma;5oxygen." Once made into a chem group, just put the beaker in the dispenser, click the group, add 5u of oil and 5u welding fuel, and bam, cryoxadone.
Speaking of which, it'd be nice if the groups we saved to our ID card would persist between rounds, but I guess that would make it too easy? Not sure.
