Vgstation13: We have no addictive substances, here is an example

[Killette2]

Here is the code for nicotine

---

/datum/reagent/nicotine
name = "Nicotine"
id = "nicotine"
description = "A highly addictive stimulant extracted from the tobacco plant."
reagent_state = LIQUID
color = "#181818" //rgb: 24, 24, 24

---

that's all, no addiction, no overdose, it's a useless flavor chemicals. We've been asking for addictive and hardcore drugs for a while, how can we fuck this one up?

[Probe1]

chemistry in general is a shitheap. people kept removing overdoses and replacing them with nothing and now we have this casual shit.

[Shadowmech88]

Creatine is "addictive" in a way; the symptom of withdrawal is death.

[Brolaire]

nicotine should give you the itch and pus-filled boils if you dont smoke it. also skin flakes

[Exxion]

I have a number of ideas for making chemistry more interesting, but honestly none of them are possible without completely rewriting reagents, which is not something I (or really probably anyone else) have the patience to do

[Iamgoofball]

okay here's a kicker:

port /tg/'s chemistry backend

it has qdelling reagents, a PROPER overdose system, a PROPER addiction system, and general code improvements/optimizations that the bay/vg coders didnt ever bother porting

it also strips out all the really useless realism backend shit that has never been useful ever and serves to add Complexity(tm) for ??? reasons

[Probe1]

he may be right about a bit of that.

[Exxion]

qdelling reagents

But reagents are datums
How the fuck can you qdel them?

[Iamgoofball]

we added datum qdelling at tg

[Intigracy]

goofcode and goofchem are bad go away

[Iamgoofball]

have you actually looked at it or are you just operating off of "its goofball"

[PJB3005]

@Exxion we've had datum qdelling for ages now. The only reason you initially couldn't was because whoever wrote the GC didn't understand references correctly.

[Exxion]

Oh
I'm pretty sure the code still says only movable atoms

[PJB3005]

Where, then? #5829

[Exxion]

I'll check later when I can

[Exxion]

Oh, OK, I remembered incorrectly
It doesn't say only movable atoms, it just says no atoms other than movable atoms and then doesn't mention datums
