Chemistry nerfs

[Kotlol]

Remember that botany has an "energy limit" on seed dispensery and a limited supply of chemicals to make their dream plants unless they work on getting their own chems and seeds in the future.

by limited chems, I can see the following happen...
Chemistry in science runs out.
TIME TO BEG MEDBAY AND THE BARTENDER.
And if not..
BEG QUARTERMASTER.

I like the idea of a recharge system though.
And also that you can "upgrade" the chemmaster to recharge faster. Giving mechanics and engineers something to do to upgrade it.

I also like how I find certain chems in minerals as well, so I would like science to do things with mining more too, especially chemistry.
Not only will this result in certain materials that are under used to get used more to get chemicals.. but also more fun in general.

Imagine that Mining has to secure Bohrum, then combine it with coal, then science has to make some acid, dip it into the metal to create clean metal and that gets used to improve the chem dispensers.

Honestly, don't make it too complicated.

Just let ores (not processed metals) be extracted into chems. Like mauxite into iron, cerenkite into Radium, coshmarite into small quantities of radium, cobryl into silver and viscerite into meat slurry and loose screws.

And then throw out radium and silver from the chem dispenser and make them orderable from QM for restocking.

This would require chemists and botanists to work together with mining, make it feasable for mining to care for radioactive ores and if mining isn't occupied you still can get the chems as restock from the QM. On top of that it would really diminish the frequency of the radium/unstable mutagen deathmixes that are kinda common occurrence.

We got ores, we got the reagent extractor, we got mining. The parts are there.

This is why I suggest the idea of more working together to get ideas but I am never saying my ideas are PERFECTO!
If anything these ideas are uber rough, but yea.. this is a good idea.

Though what about the bar? They can't make certain drinks without radium too?
Well I guess they gotta work the same magic no?

Eitherway this is a far better nerf then what I suggested.
