Sci should get a guidebook similar to Med

[Angel]

Several other roles in the game starts with basic guidebooks like rancher with their chicken pamplet, botany with their book to hydroponics, security with space law, medical with the book to medical, meanwhile scientist, one of the most complex roles in the game, with in-depth departments like chemistry, telesci, artsci and toxins, gets zero in-game guides, making most players rely on the wiki to figure out everything. It would be nice if scientists started with a guide book that explained the basics of each department, or maybe in the vendor a guide book to each department, like in the book to telesci it explains the telesci math and how to do it yourself, and also how to get a-zone disks and what not, toxins book a basic guide of how how connect things to the ports and mix gases, and how to run vr explosive simulations, an artsci book explaining the different artifact triggers, and artifact origins and how to identify them, and a chemistry book explaining chem dispensers and maybe listing some more basic chemical recipes so the person can get started to chemistry.

Would also be cool if chem dispensers got a button like ovens have to open the recipe book, but instead for chemical recipes, that way chemistry is easier to do without having the wiki open or memorizing recipes.

You forgot about the robuddys they're part of science too

telesci is defenitly worth to add in game

We need some hero brave enough to right that book. Or crowdsource it.

Frankly I know nothing about science anymore, and barely knew anything other than the teleporter and chemistry even 10 years ago. Much less artifacts/bombmaking. So I can offer no help. But I've written a book before (the surgery textbook) and it was quite fun to do so, but tbh that was because I basically wrote most of the new (at the time) surgery code and understood everything well.

Could even split it up into multiple books, one for chemistry, one for telesci, one for plasma research, one for artifact research. So the writers of each don't need to be an expert of everything. Much like real life textbooks/manuals are.
