ExGame Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 You should be able to modify the flow rate of IV Drips. Let's say you're injecting morphine to a surgery patient and you don't want them to OD or get Addicted, so you would naturally put the flow rate of the IV Drip to like 1 or 2u per tick, or if you want to inject blood fast something like 5 to 10u per tick. Of course there would be a upper limit so that this thing doesn't become the next memechem injection method, but I'd totally love this to get added.

Holyass Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 +2 SUPER GREAT! with this we can do 0.1u of meth to detox someone that addicted to meth! or even yet! long time use for Coffee! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexpkeaton Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 +1, with the following reservation: or even yet! long time use for Coffee! I can see powergamers crew/antags dragging around IV's of memechems for the full round leaving medbay empty. So, IV drips outside of the medbay should be considered major theft if this change is adopted. I'd suggest an addendum to SoP that patients/physicians will need to have a form signed and stamped by the CMO or Captain to have possession of an IV outside of medbay save for major crises.

FlattestGuitar Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Let's say you're injecting morphine to a surgery patient and you don't want them to OD or get Addicted Lowering the rate at which the IV transfers reagents to the patient will only increase the addiction chance and won't really help with fighting an overdose, since even 1u/tick will be faster than the metabolization rate for every medical chem out there.

davidchan Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 He's saying most chems only process at .4u per tick, so you wouldn't OD nearly as fast, but you'd still OD if the doctor was careless and forgot about you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExGame Posted December 9, 2016 Author Share Posted December 9, 2016 Uuuh. Lower the units per tick then I guess? I just wanted a feature where you could onject a steady amount of chems without it running out or get you addicted (as in morphine). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fludd12 Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Addiction is based on chance per metabolization of chem. This wouldn't have any effect on addiction, just ease of access. Still, a good change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinatacolada Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Addiction is chance based at the moment of injection, not metabolization, which is why perfluo patches are a thing now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
