As a virologist you are responsible for curing all ailments that befall the station as well as the synthesise of new pathogens to help the station crew. This guide overviews the process to conduct virology in Unitystation.

== Disease Basics / Health & Safety ==
Diseases in Unitystation function similarly to reagents (chemicals). Any place that can contain a chemical (such as a syringe, beaker, food, etc) can contain diseases. While diseases can exist in any reagent container, they will only grow when metabolised by a host body.

Creatures (including crew members) become sick when a pathogen enters their bloodstream. The concentration of the pathogen in the blood stream controls not only the rate of growth, but the exhibited symptoms too. Diseases often start harmless or with simple emotes that spread the disease (such as coughing and sneezing) but can quickly evolve to be dangerous if not attended too soon enough.

Every creature also has an immune response. A creature's immune response counteracts the growth of a pathogen; it is most effective when the pathogen is in small amounts but often gets overpowered if a disease is sufficiently present. A creature's immune response can be varied by mutations*.

Medical HUDs will show the most prevalent disease (That with the highest stage) a player is infected by with an emoticon to its left. The sadder the face, the further the disease is progressed. No emoticon indicates the patient is healthy.

<nowiki>*</nowiki>''Immune mutations are planned but not currently implemented. This note will be removed once these mutations are added.''

Many sicknesses once they have developed far enough, will begin to induce symptoms that cause the disease to spread (Such as coughing and sneezing). Crewmates in the area of affliction can catch these sicknesses and begin to spread the disease themselves.

There are several methods to prevent such events:

- Wearing a sterile mask or another protective helmet (such as a biosuit helmet) will prevent infection from coughing & sneezing

- A sick patient wearing a sterile mask or another protective helmet will be unable to spread diseases via coughing & sneezing

- Wearing ''enabled'' internals will also prevent infection from coughing and sneezing.

- Wearing a full biosuit will prevent infection from methods that involve splashing, such as the ever-potent plague bomb.

== Virology Equipment ==

=== Sequence Analyzer ===
The sequence analyzer is the first machine on the step to curing a disease. It analyzes a provided blood sample to identify a present disease and propose possible cures. It requires a connection to power.

=== Cure Tester ===
The cure tester is an accelerated way of testing the effectives of a possible cure. It requires both a connection to power and a sequence analyzer. The cure tester will test the contents of a provided beaker against the most recent disease analyzed by the sequence analyzer. It will provide 3 different messages based on the effectiveness of the cure

== Treating Patients / Curing Sicknesses ==
Treating sicknesses is a fairly straight forward process, although it can be difficult and time consuming. A cure for a given sickness is randomised on round start, but a cure for any one patient, will work on all others with the same sickness. A step-by-step method for curing a patient is found below.

1) Once a patient is believed to be sick, take a blood sample using a syringe in 'DRAW' mode. Place this blood sample into a petri dish for further testing.

2) Place the petri dish with the blood sample into a sequence analyzer by pressing on the empty slot while holding the dish. Once the dish is inserted, press the analyzers 'test' button to test the blood sample. The sequence analyzer will report wether or not it found any disease in the blood sample. For each disease found, it will provide a list of 5+ chemical reagents. From these reagents, a combination of 2 of them will form the cure for that sickness, another 2 will be 'inhibitors'. If both cure reagents are present with the pathogen, but ''none'' of the inhibitors, the pathogen will be killed by the cure and the sickness treated. The analyzer will also report it's "active disease". This is the disease that will be used by the cure tester to determine the effectiveness of a given cure.

3) Mix up a series of possible cures based on the clues from the sequence analyzer. Place each possible cure into the beaker slot of the cure tester and press the 'test' button. When testing a cure, the cure tester will produce one of 3 outputs.

An alternative way to think of the response is as such:
Response Number = Number of Cure Reagents in Mix - Number of Inhibitors Reagents in Mix
{| class="wikitable"
|+
!Response No.
!Response Text
!Explanation
|-
|0
|No change in the pathogen was observed
|Either no cure reagents were present, or the number of inhibitors outweighed the number of cure reagents
|-
|1
|The pathogen showed signs of weakening, but remained prevalent
|Either one of the two cure reagents were present, or both and a single inhibitor
|-
|2
|The pathogen was severely degraded by the chemical mix
|Both cure reagents were present and no inhibitors. This chemical mix contains the cure for the specified pathogen
|}
4) Once you have found the cure from step 3, distribute the cure in a desired form to infected crew mates (Pills, drinks, food, etc). For every 2 units of cure (1 part of each cure reagent), 5 units of pathogen will be killed. Cures are metabolised by the body at the standard rate and will stay in the body until filtered out by the body's organs. Because of this, patients who are very sick might take time to get better, additionally, players can be 'vaccinated' from a disease by pre-emptively taking a cure. As the cure will stay in the blood for a period of time, it will kill the target sickness instantly when it tries to afflict the target.

5) Cures will stop diseases from progressing and prevent further symptoms, however, damage from diseases will not disappear with the disease. Instead, remnant toxic damage, genetic damage, etc might require manual healing based on the severity. If several disease require treatment, consider offloading this treatment process to the station medical doctors.

Atner: /* Useful Chemicals Reference */

Ordnance is the area of R&D focused on the synthesis of chemicals and explosives, in particular, chemical grenades. If your goal as a scientist is to become an expert in not only creating potent explosives, but versatile explosives to protect and assist the station, then ordnance is the area of research for you.

== Chemical Grenades ==
[[File:Grenade chemg.png|right|frameless|128x128px]]
Chemical grenades are what you will be using for the vast majority of your ordnance adventures. In essence, all a chemical grenade is, is two beakers/chem storage containers attached to a timer that mixes them. Using a chemical grenade is simple:

1) Locate an empty chemical grenade casing or make one with 5 metal sheets.

2) Fill two beakers of any size with your desired chemicals

3) Place the beakers in the casing one after another

4) Use a screwdriver to secure the casing shut.

5) Active the grenade in your hand by either clicking on it while holding or pressing the 'Z' key.

6) Throw it!

After a short delay, the chemical grenade will mix the contents of the two beakers, if your chemistry is correct, this can cause an explosion, foam, smoke, or whatever you have designed it to do. If the grenade was not designed to explode, then it is possible that the casing survived, as such, it can be recovered, and by un-securing the casing with a screwdriver and removing the beakers, the casing can be reused for further testing.

Once researched in the techweb, scientist may also produce pyro, cyro and AR chemical grenade variants.

Pyrochemical Grenades will increase the temperature of reactants by 300K on detonation.

Cyrochemical Grenades will decrease the temperature of reactants by 100K on detonation.

AR or advance release chemical Grenades will gradually mix reactants over time, configurable by the user.

== The Blast Yield Detector ==
[[File:BYD.png|right|frameless|128x128px]]
The blast yield detector is how you turn a series of random explosives into RP that can help the station. The blast yield detector will detect any explosions that take place in a cone on front of it, recording their yield and chemical composition, reporting it to its GUI. However, the most important feature of the detector is its ''bounty list.''

If you are constructing your own blast yield detector, ensure it is connected both to a valid APC for power and a research server of which it will transmit any data to and receive its targets.

=== Explosive Bounties ===
At the start of each round, the blast yield detector will be populated with 15 explosive targets or bounties. Each bounty will have a Required Yield, List of Required Reactions and a List of Required Reagents. If the detector detects an explosion that satisfies the requirements of a target, the target will complete and award 15RP.

Required Yield: The explosive potency of the grenade. The target explosive must have a potency greater than or equal to the listed yield. The yield of any explosive will be displayed in the BYD after it detonates. Learning what chemical mixes result in which yields can take alot of time an experimentation to learn, but once it is learnt, doing so can become a breeze.

Required Reactions: The required reactions are chemicals that must not be present in the grenade prior to mixing, but instead result from the mixing of the chemicals in the beakers. Most commonly, required reactions are various foams or smoke powder. The quantity of the final reactant must match ''exactly'' with the displayed value. Getting them to match exactly can take time and some math. Ordnance departments come equipped with eyedroppers which can be utilised to place very precise amounts of reagents into beakers.

Required Reagents: The required reagents are chemicals that must be present before and after the beakers mix. Similar to the required reactions, these reagents must be in the exact quantity specified in the target and as such, the departments eyedroppers can once again be used to obtain precise amounts of each chemical.

Once you have created a chemical grenade that you believe satisfies the requirement of a bounty, you must test it live. The grenade must be detonated in the view of the blast yield detector (Most stations come equipped with a Mass Driver or airlock for detonating explosives in space safely away from the station). If the grenade matches a bounty, that bounty will clear, and you will be awarded the RP.

== Tips & Tricks ==

* Don't stress about putting all your reagents in the same beaker at first. If the explosive requires reagents like space lube, mix them separately before transferring them all to the final beaker.
* For required reactions, ensure they cannot react before the beakers mix. If you put potassium in one beaker, ensure no water is put in that same beaker, keep them separate until the grenade triggers.
* Using the Techweb, higher capacity beakers can be researched, these higher capacity beakers, such as meta material and bluespace beakers, can prove invaluable when creating larger or more complex grenades.
* Ordnance is one of the science departments that can benefit from multiple scientists collaborating, as most ordnance labs have enough equipment for two scientists to work simultaneously.
* To save time, employ the use of science goggles, science googles allow you to see the content of containers such as beakers when inspecting, saving you time having to place beakers back inside the chem dispenser to check their composition.
* Bounties don't have to be done in order! If you are more confident with some bounties over others, you can always knock out the easier ones first, then take your time with the harder ones later on.
* Bounties can amount to 225 RP throughout an entire round, this is a substantial portion of the Techweb from ordnance alone, if you are struggling to research the Techweb, don't neglect ordnance!
*Currently this wiki is incomplete, for recipes on chemicals, check out the TG wiki [https://tgstation13.org/wiki/Guide_to_chemistry here]

== Mapping ==
If you are a developer planning on mapping an ordnance lab, make sure you can tick all the following boxes:

[ ] The department has a blast yield detector; the detector is facing in the correct direction and is properly connected to the research server.

[ ] The department contains some method of detonating explosives safely in the view of the BYD. This is often done with a mass driver, but other methods can be used as well.

[ ] The department has at least 2 Chem Dispensers, explore having upwards of 4 for larger stations.

[ ] The department is adequately equipped with beakers. At the bare minimum, at least 2 boxes of beakers should be present, Accompanied by at least 2 large beakers.

[ ] The department comes pre-equipped with at least 4 chemical grenade casings, and a screwdriver to tinker with them.

[ ] The department has a bomb suit locker for scientists to wear while testing, on larger maps, explore having up to 4 bomb suits.

[ ] The department has atleast 2 eyedroppers, consider having significantly more (Upwards of 4) for larger stations.

[ ] The department should have one bottle of toxin for specific bounties that require it. Be careful before adding more.

== Tips & Tricks ==

* Don't stress about putting all your reagents in the same beaker at first. If the explosive requires reagents like space lube, mix them separately before transferring them all to the final beaker.
* For required reactions, ensure they cannot react before the beakers mix. If you put potassium in one beaker, ensure no water is put in that same beaker, keep them separate until the grenade triggers.
* Using the Techweb, higher capacity beakers can be researched, these higher capacity beakers, such as meta material and bluespace beakers, can prove invaluable when creating larger or more complex grenades.
* Ordnance is one of the science departments that can benefit from multiple scientists collaborating, as most ordnance labs have enough equipment for two scientists to work simultaneously.
* To save time, employ the use of science goggles, science googles allow you to see the content of containers such as beakers when inspecting, saving you time having to place beakers back inside the chem dispenser to check their composition.
* Bounties don't have to be done in order! If you are more confident with some bounties over others, you can always knock out the easier ones first, then take your time with the harder ones later on.
* Bounties can amount to 225 RP throughout an entire round, this is a substantial portion of the Techweb from ordnance alone, if you are struggling to research the Techweb, don't neglect ordnance!

== Mapping ==
If you are a developer planning on mapping an ordnance lab, make sure you can tick all the following boxes:

[ ] The department has a blast yield detector; the detector is facing in the correct direction and is properly connected to the research server.

[ ] The department contains some method of detonating explosives safely in the view of the BYD. This is often done with a mass driver, but other methods can be used as well.

[ ] The department has at least 2 Chem Dispensers, explore having upwards of 4 for larger stations.

[ ] The department is adequately equipped with beakers. At the bare minimum, at least 2 boxes of beakers should be present, Accompanied by at least 2 large beakers.

[ ] The department comes pre-equipped with at least 4 chemical grenade casings, and a screwdriver to tinker with them.

[ ] The department has a bomb suit locker for scientists to wear while testing, on larger maps, explore having up to 4 bomb suits.

[ ] The department has atleast 2 eyedroppers, consider having significantly more (Upwards of 4) for larger stations.

[ ] The department should have one bottle of toxin for specific bounties that require it. Be careful before adding more.
