Asbestos, Nanites and Polonium! Oh My!

Some Toxins Are Hard to Get Rid Of

As a med player, it has always bothered me that all reagents could be removed easily with the sleeper. Now that this is no longer the case, I will take full advantage of it by adding new terrible poisons that act slowly and require special circumstances to remove. Rather than being rapidly processed by the body these special toxins process a static Metabolism rate of .01 meaning 1 unit can last for 100 ticks. To remove them quickly you need to apply the right chemicals which may not be readily available. Some of these reagents are specifically designed to not show signs that you are poisoned immediately. This PR also reworks nanites slightly. Harmful nanites do not process as quickly but instead take forever to be removed from your system. In order to fully remove them you will need to apply a shock chem to yourself such as grubmeat's 200 V or the new homemade 2 V substitute.

The new reagents are as follows:

• 2V: is a Medical made chem specifically designed to remove nanites from the body. Made with Iron Lithium Carbon and Phosphorus. It delivers an electrocution act to the body as it removes the nanites, a small price to pay for getting the tiny murderbots out of you.
• Heartkill Nanites: Enter the body where they group together around the heart to cause heart clots. (Silicons is fixing heart damage). Cured with 2V or 200V.
• Asbestos: Enters the lungs causing cough and occasionally causing lung damage. It can also be used as a vastly inferior chemsmoke alternative when splashed. It is removed by respirodaxon.
• Polonium 210: A radioactive isotope that causes 5000 radiation a unit and 50 radiation a tick. It is removed by nicotine and Arithazine which reacts with it to make nuclear waste (which is actually removable by sleepers). This is the deadliest chem by far and I still made it less deadly than it actually is.
• Superhol: A synthetic fake alcohol that slowly drips ethanol into your body, and instantly makes you suffer the effects of alcohol poisoning. Cured with Ethylredoxrazine and Hepanephrodaxon.

Why It's Good For The Game

The new reagents are part of my ambition to make sure there is more to medical than just brute force healing damage. Though medics may be able to heal the damage caused by these reagents, this only delays the damage and the toxins will long outlast the reagents used to heal them. This could force a retreat and even for medics to stasis patients until they can get them to safety. It also provides more tools for EM antaggery (The Polonium pills are great for assassinations) and I plan to use the asbestos for future mining expansions.

use typepaths, not string ids

[silicons]

is this reused or planned to be reused anywhere but the one chemical? if not, this shouldn't be /human level procs

[CharlesWedge]

Yes probably, at least I want to exist if we ever want to have a heart attack as a medical issue in the future. Its also very useful command to call directly at mobs as an EM too.
