Not sure if i'll use this more organized approach, since i've already color-coded department specific items, can't be fucked to redo the icons, and i'm just used to the layout i have.
Still, is nice. -
The great search for item icons has come to an end.
Next comes adding tech orgin stats for all items. -
Become toaster. Ping. Explore the house. Explore the
spooky basementfucking fallout shelter right under my house. Shop for augmentations. Ask the neighbors for sugar. Go to work. Ping some more. Do science. Die. Get reconstructed. Enjoy life. -
If Voxxy yaya and plasmeme have their own survival kits, then IPC should get their own too.
I agree with this.

One of the few lore conflicts with gameplay is that there's no reasoning behind why IPCs have and require Oil to survive.
If i had to make it up, i belive there would be a tempature manager component in an IPC's body that uses oil to cool or heat practically anything in the IPC chassis. Wihout the tempature managing component, or the oil to power it, most of the servos and components in the IPC body would slowly overheat and stop functioning.
Also, how do people get on board the NSS Cyberiad anyway? If i had to make that up aswell...
SpoilerFor example back on Earth. Most of the richer countries would have Long-range Bluespace Travel Airports, or LBTA's for short.
You would be able to get onto a shuttle there, wich would take you to systems nearby that of the Sol system.
An LBT jump would either lead to a Travel Station, or another LBT airport on a planet. We'll call stations with LBTA's Travel Stations.
Travel stations would be able to recieve LBT ships, but also able to send normal bluespace shuttles to other stations.
From there, you'd take a bluespace shuttle, aka. the Arrivals shuttle to the Cyberiad.Voila. Now you just have to deal with the Terror Spider infestation there because no one told you about it.

Make bottles have 60u of chemicals, its kind of unreal for pills to have more than bottles.
50u is the max bottles have and i'd say it's enough, don'tcha think?

I don't see a reason as to why removing the fine control of substances in the chem dispencer is neccesary. I'm assuming that this would hinder newcomers, as if they put in too much of a certain chemical into the beaker, they can just remove the exess, instead of having to delete the whole mix or moving the beaker to a Chemmaster 3000.

Okay, a slight increase in size of the basic beakers would be nice for the way recpies work.

SUPER BIG DISCLAIMER
This R&D guide contains an edited version of 'Meex's guide to R&D in 10 minutes or less'.
@Xantholne made the forum post originally, and this is just a version that i use for my own convenience. (And whoever else is reading this because i posted it)This version has also been updated to adapt to the removal of telescience.
To do R&D, you input all the things listed below. From top to bottom.
Basic R&D items do not require materials other than Metal and Glass. There is a stack of both in R&D at roundstart. If that's unavailable, there's also a stack of both in Sci/Chem.
PROTIP: You can use the CTRL + F Browser search function to look for a specific item, or specific tech orgin. (For example writing (Power: 4), into the browser search will find items with that tech orgin.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ADVANCED R&D
Each category shows items you need to deconstruct in order to get tech levels to 7.
Advanced R&D items require advanced materials from Mining to complete. (Gold, Silver, Uranium, Solid Plasma, Diamond, Titanium, Bluespace Polycrystals, etc...) All materials are obtained from the Ore Redeption Machine (ORM for short) in Mining.
Most categories may have multiple ways to achieve level 7's.
The advanced R&D guide was made by me, this time. (With the help of @BeanOS.)
Items colored Emerald require items from Botany. I hope you upgraded their equipment prior.
Items colored Amethyst require items from Xenobio. Someone did do Xenobio this shift, right? Riiiiight?
Items colored Orange require items from Mining. Better hope all the miners are still alive.
Items colored Bright Blue require items from Command. The only one being the Chain of Command. Ask the Captain and he'll get it for you. If he says no, he's a comdom.When inserting materials into the Destructive Analyzer, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, USE ONLY ONE PEICE. YOU'LL FUCKING WASTE THE WHOLE STACK OTHERWISE!!!Inserting a whole stack of materials into the Destructive Analyzer will only use up a single peice from that stack. Still, it's less confusing to just take out a single peice from the stack and then jam it in.
For the Mining Jetpack, it has to be a Mining Jetpack specifically. It can't be any other jetpack. No. The CO2 jetpack from EVA won't do.MATERIALS FROM 5

TOXINS GUIDE
Getting levels in Toxins is done differently then placing specific items into the Destructive Analyzer.
In Science, there is an area called the Toxins Test Range. In the Launch Room of the Toxins Test range, there's the Tachyon-Doppler Array, wich has a random target value each shift.
In order to get Toxins tech levels, you need to trigger and explosion in the Toxins Test Range with the same/close enough strength as the target value.
It is assumed that you perform Toxins using TTV-based bombs. Meddling with oxygen and plasma however i find confusing, so i preffer to use Chemical-based bombs. (Aka. Black Powder)
Let's learn how to make Black Powder bombs for use in the Test Range.
SpoilerStep 1. Go to Sci/Chem.
Step 2. Grab a Large Beaker, we'll call it Beaker A.
Step 3. Mix 15u of Sodium Chloride into Beaker A.
Step 4. Add 15u of Ash into Beaker A.
Step 5. Eject Beaker A from the Chem Dispenser. Grab a Welding Tool/Lighter/Igniter and use it on Beaker A repeatedly until it says 'The mixture yields a fine black powder.'
Step 6. Set Beaker A aside for now. Grab another Large Beaker, we'll call it Beaker B.
Step 7. Mix 30u of Saltpetre in Beaker B.
Step 8. Add 30u of Sulfur into Beaker B.
Step 9. Pour everything from Beaker B to Beaker A. You now have 90u of Black Powder.
Depending on the Tachyon-Doppler array's target, you will need different amounts of Black Powder in your bomb. We can determine how much we need with the power of math. @Jazz is the one who originaly posted forumla, so credit goes to him.
Let's say the target is 17.
17 multiplied by 20 is 340.
This means we need a total 340u of Black Powder in the bomb to reach the target value. Yikes.
Wihout using Bluespace Beakers (Researched in R&D), we cannot have this large amount in the bomb. The maximum we can do wíth Large Beakers is 200u, each beaker holding 100u with the bomb being able to hold maximum 2 beakers.
If you do, however have Bluespace Beakers, rejoice! As each Bluespace Beaker can hold 300u. Simply just make more Black Powder until you have enough. (340u)
Let's say we however do not have Bluespace Beakers, we use Large Beakers instead. We'll fill both beakers with 100u of Black Powder.
You should now have:
1 Igniter, 2 Remote-Signalling devices, 1 Pyro Grenade Casing and 2 Large Beakers with 100u of Black Powder each.
Step 1. Make sure the Remote-Signalling devices have the same code and frequency, and their recievers are on.
Step 2. Use a screwdriver on the igniter and one of the Remote-Signalling devices.
Step 3. Combine the igniter and the Remote-signalling device to create an assembly.
Step 4. Use a screwdriver on the assembly.
Step 5. Use the assembly on the Pyro grenade casing to create a bomb casing.
Step 6. Use both beakers on the bomb assembly.
Step 7. Use a screwdriver on the bomb assembly to finish it. The bomb is now done.
We're working with a bomb that could probably wreck a big part of the station, so handle it with care!
Now that you have your bomb, pocket both the bomb and signaller. Because it's time to send it to the test range.
Step 1. Go to the toxins launch room with your bomb and signaller.
Step 2. Place your bomb on the Mass Driver.
Step 3. Before lauching the bomb, check if there are any Space Koi or anything else blocking the mass driver. If there are, then it would be possible for the bomb to get blocked and not land in the Toxins Test Range. This is very bad.
Step 4. After checking clearance, press the mass driver button and watch it go.
Step 5. Check the Test Chamber Telescreen to see if the bomb is in the Test Range safely.
Step 6. Before detonating, say something along the lines of 'Toxins Test.' over common. Otherwise, people will get spooked by what the heck just exploded.
Step 7. Use the signaller to send the signal, and watch the fireworks.
Step 8. The Tachyon-Doppler array will say something along the lines of "Target (17) missed by : 4."
Step 9. Grab a tech disk and use it on the Tachyon-Doppler array.
Step 10. You now have a tech disk with Toxins levels on it. This is what we were going for all along.
Step 11. Take the disk to R&D and jam it into the R&D console.
Step 12. In the R&D console, go to Main Menu > Disk Operations and click Upload to Database.
Good job! You just did Toxins with the power of Chemistry. If you didn't blow up anything other than the Toxins Test Range, or let anything else bad happen, give yourself a pat on the back.
PEAK PERFORMACE SUMMRAY
At peak performance, the total items required for Advanced R&D are...
Uranium, Diamond Mining Drill, Mining Jetpack, Machine Prototype, 2 Green Glowcaps, 2 Red Glowcaps, 2 Bluespace Polycrystals, Ambrosia Gaia Branch, Chain of Command , 2 P-X Tesla Cannons, Minebot AI Upgrade, A competent Toxins Scientist.
3 items are required from Mining.
5 items are required from Botany
1 item is required from Command.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you wish to point something out, just say it in the comments. And i'll hopefully try to fix it.
Once again, thanks to @Xantholne for the original forum post and @BeanOS for helping out with the advanced R&D guide.
Credit to @rapaskoti and @AffectedArc07 for providing item icons i was unable to find myself.

Carrying around at least two (2) full spools of cable coil and one (1) welding tool of the best quality you can find in your internals box can save you in a pinch.
