===Smoke vs foam vs others===
These are the major practical differences between pills, syringes, patches, cigarettes, [[#Smoke|smoke]], [[#Fluorosurfactant|foam]], splash and spray. <br>
====Pills====
Pills can be instantly [[#Ingest|ingested]] if used on yourself. It doesn't work if mouth is covered. [[Plasmaman|Plasmamen]] will have trouble taking these. Holds up to 50u. <br>

====Syringes====
Syringes can inject into people even with their mouths covered, either by hand or with a syringe gun. It doesn't work on players wearing hardsuits or other pierce-immune clothing, unless you use a piercing syringe or manage to aim for an exposed part of their body. [[Golem]]s are completely immune to syringes (even piercing syringes), but [[Guide_to_chemistry#Patches|patches]] do work on them. A syringe holds between 10-60u, depending on type. Common syringes hold 15u. <br>

====Patches====
Will add all reagents into a person's bloodstream through any clothing, including hardsuits. Also apply [[#Touch|touch]]/[[#Patch|patch]] based effects. Example: A patch of 20u [[#Styptic Powder|Styptic Powder]] will instantly heal 20 brute (touch component), and also enter the target's bloodstream for a long heal over time. Usable by [[Plasmaman|plasmamen]]. Can hold up to 40u. <br>

====Cigarettes====
Can be dipped in reagents to be filled. If smoking/vaping, you will slowly [[#Ingest|ingest]] whatever reagents the cigarette/cigar/e-cig contains. Though, if the reagents are too diluted, they may not build up in your bloodstream fast enough to have any effect at all. E-cigarettes can be trimmed with a screwdriver and multitool to also create [[#Smoke|smoke]]. <br>

====[[#Smoke|Smoke]]====
When a smoke reaction occurs, the smoke will consume any other reagent in its original containers, and spread that reagent to flooring and people/mobs who enter its area of effect. People who enter the smoke will be [[#Touch|touched]] by the reagents. If they do not have internals on, they will also [[#Ingest|ingest]] the reagents. The amount of smoke does not dilute the reagents. The reagents will be copied to every individual or tile (not walls, windows or doors) over the cloud's duration. Reagents that are special coded to affect floor/environment (such as blood, [[#Fluorosulfuric Acid|acid]] or [[#Space_Cleaner|Space Cleaner]]) will do so. Smoke will usually block sight. <br>
'''Smoke example 1:''' Smoke containing 20u [[#Styptic Powder|Styptic Powder]]. Everyone caught in the cloud, including people wearing hardsuits, will slowly heal 20 brute (and scream in pain), if they stay in the smoke for its full duration (otherwise they will heal partially). Those who are not wearing internals will also [[#Ingest|ingest]] 20u of the medicine, making it enter their bloodstream and start healing them over time. But since this particular medicine will deal toxin damage if not applied via [[#Touch|touch]]/[[#Patch|patch]], those who inhale it will also start taking toxin damage. <br>

'''Smoke example 2:''' Smoke containing 20u [[#Chlorine Trifluoride|Chlorine Trifluoride]](CLF3). CLF3 has a [[#Touch|touch]](and [[#Vapor|vapor]]) component, so everyone caught in the cloud, including people wearing hardsuits and internals, will catch on fire. It will also deal burn damage to the environment, since CLF3 is coded to do so. Those who are not wearing internals will also [[#Ingest|ingest]] 20u of the CLF3 and thus, start heating up from the inside, effectively burning from both in and out at the same time. <br>

====[[#Fluorosurfactant|Foam]]====
When a foam reaction occurs, the foam will consume any other reagent in its original containers, and spread that reagent to flooring and people/mobs who enter its area of effect. The foam will spread slower than smoke and is usually slippery. Reagents will be copied through the [[#Vapor|vapor]] type delivery to those affected over the duration of the foam, BUT the reagents will be heavily diluted depending on the amount of foaming reagent used. Any clothing will reduce how much of the reagents will enter a person's bloodstream. Furthermore, foam reagent bloodstream insertion is divided into several 'ticks'. A minimum amount of reagent is required per tick for it to enter a bloodstream. So if too little reagents are contained in the reaction, or too much foam is used, the foam will do nothing. These ticks are counted ''after'' dilution and protection from clothing. On the other hand, if you use very small amounts of foam, the reagents may instead multiply in the bloodstream to more than the original amount. Hardsuits with helmets on will make people immune to getting reagents into their bloodstream through foam. Despite dilution, the foam will still copy remaining chems such as [[#Fluorosulfuric Acid|acid]], [[#Chlorine Trifluoride|CLF3]], or [[#Space_Cleaner|Space Cleaner]] to any tile it touches (but not walls, windows or doors). Foam will not block sight. <br>

'''Foam example 1:''' 250u foam containing 10u [[#Cyanide|Cyanide]] will spread a blue foam that does nothing to those it touches. The poison is too diluted to work at all. <br>

'''Foam example 2:''' 20u foam containing 250u [[#Fluorosulfuric Acid|Fluorosulfuric Acid]]. A small area and everyone touched by the foam will have large amounts of acid slowly melting their clothing and the affected floor and items. Those who did not wear a hardsuit with helmet on will also have a large amount of acid in their bloodstreams, depending on what they were wearing and how long they were in the foam. If they had internals on or not doesn't matter. <br>

====Splashing====
Throwing a beaker, or using a beaker on anything with harm intent, will splash its contents. The longer throw distance, the more the splash will spread out. A [[grenade]] will splash its content unless it also contains [[#Smoke|smoke]] or [[#Fluorosurfactant|foam]]. Splashing only does [[#Touch|touch]] delivery. This means most chemicals will do absolutely nothing when splashed. Reagents that have special properties to affect environment, such as Water, will do so where splashed (creates slippery tile). Reagents that have a [[#Touch|touch]] component will apply that component only. Example: If you throw a beaker of 80u [[#Synthflesh|Synthflesh]] at someone, you will instantly heal them for 100 brute and burn, since Synthflesh is touch/patch based. It doesn't matter if the target uses hardsuit or internals in this case. Another example: If you throw a beaker of 100u [[#Silver_Sulfadiazine|Silver Sulfadiazine]] at someone, you will instantly heal them 100 burn. But none of the medicine will enter the bloodstream, so there won't be a heal over time. This means throwing a beaker of poison at someone will do nothing at all. Splashing can apply chemicals such as [[#Thermite|Thermite]] to walls. <br>

====Spraying====
Spraying reagents will apply them to environments (if they have any such effect), and will enter hit people's bloodstreams through the [[#Vapor|vapor]] delivery. This means clothing will protect from some/most/all of the reagents, depending on what they are wearing. Using a hardsuit with helmet on makes them immune to getting the reagent into their bloodstream. Reagents such as [[#Fluorosulfuric Acid|acid]], [[#Chlorine Trifluoride|CLF3]], or [[#Space_Cleaner|Space Cleaner]] will still cause their special effects when sprayed on people/environments, but will not enter the bloodstream if the target is wearing too heavy clothing. <br><br>
