I've always been quite fond of the greater psi reaver archetype. I know it's more or less indistinguishable from the normal reaver but that doesn't have to remain the case. It's half set up already to be made into a new enemy type that jives with the lore and everything. The more organ harvesting the better!

ImageShack seems to be having trouble with their website at the moment, twice today it's taken me multiple attempts to view their content, and it's timing out on most images. Response time is over 7 seconds from "is it up or just me", although I couldn't even get the homepage to open. As such the image above isn't displaying. Any chance you can post it somewhere else, V?
Btw, did you guys notice that Korenchkin's Psi Reaver has another organ to research which needs another chemicals (Ba, Ra)?

Very glad to be of service. It also warms the cockles of my, erm, cockles to see support for SS2 still alive and well.

« on: 28. April 2013, 00:21:44 »Yes, and it sadly doesn't make sense at all because Korenchkin is the first Psi reaver you encounter and afaik the only greater Psi reaver in the game. One of the items that should've been fixed in ADaoB imo.Btw, did you guys notice that Korenchkin's Psi Reaver has another organ to research which needs another chemicals (Ba, Ra)?

« on: 28. April 2013, 00:03:33 »Well, I wasn't exactly sure that anybody except me finds this thing hilarious when I was writing it 
In a way, this flavour text looks like a placeholder (e.g. the organ does not look like a brain at all), and I always thought this item was left out from the game somehow. By the way, isn't it odd for subverted Corenchkin (apparently a regular psi-reaver) to drop this thing. As far as I know, there's a single greater overlord in the whole game (it's among the bunch guarding the Many brain), and its looks quite distinctive too.

Someone put the unresearched brain description into the quick reply quote line a while ago. That made me laugh.

« on: 24. April 2013, 05:12:20 »This is all of them that I could find. Adding them together gives you the full total for BoTM.

« on: 22. April 2013, 11:57:20 »These are the complete chemicals in the BOTM? Or should these be added to the existing numbers in the table?

« on: 22. April 2013, 05:29:25 »Updated Body of the Many Chemicals List
I found this thread which came in handy during my recent playthrough. However, there are a couple of errors in the listing, primarily concerning the Body of the Many (BoTM) level, and the "second" Rickenbacker chemical store room therein, which comes complete with energy recharger, replicator and manifest. Not to be confused with the first storeroom which is actually on the Rickenbacker proper, near Engine Nacelle B.
I don't know if the original author of this post is still around some three years later, but for people still playing SS2 (especially as it's just been rereleased via GOG.com and possibly Steam soon too) it'd be nice if this otherwise useful page was accurate, given that it's the only one I could find that contained a full listing of the chemicals.
Near the start of BoTM is a room containing a handful of loose chemicals, which doesn't have a manifest:
Te 1
Tc 2
Mo 2
Later in BoTM is a store room with samples of every chemical, as follows (from Chemical Manifest):
As 1
Sb 1
Ba 2
Cf 1
Cs 2
Cu 1
Fm 1
Ga 1
Hs 3
Ir 1
Mo 1
Os 1
Ra 3
Se 3
Na 1
Tc 1
Te 4
V 1
Y 3
As you can see, these numbers don't tally up with the table in the first post.
What these updated numbers mean is that everything you need to research the Worm Launcher, Worm Heart and Worm Skin can be found in the BoTM (along with the items themselves), which saves having to tediously backtrack through the entire Rickenbacker to the chem storeroom in Pod 1, or to carry chems with you into BoTM.
Hopefully this will be useful to someone.

« on: 21. March 2010, 18:33:46 »It's not; off the top of my head, Arsenic isn't used at all.That was probably for the best. IIRC no researchable items in the stock game use Copper. I believe it's the only "dead" element, that is one that's not used at least once.There are probably others, but I can't check at the moment.I don't think Selenium is used, either. Those are the only three, iirc.You've obviously never read System Shlock (or was it TTLG Volatile?).Radium, for example, would kill anyone around it because of (surprise, surprise) it's extreme radioactivity.
Copper is used but yeah Arsenic is only set for WormBlend and that implant was cut out, I make use of As in my mod though because on impossible most items need more elements to research than normal and I put As as an extra requirement on a few.

Chemical elements are not man-made. They're not limited to earth either, just in case that's what you meant to say.
Also: I take back what I said about Copper, it's used in one of the Annelid implants. Arsenic is not listed in the walkthrough. It's been a while since I've played stock and SecMod switches chemicals required around a bit.

Also, am I the only one who finds it ironic that manmade elements are being used to research alien artifacts?
Some of those elements don't have physical shapes. Also, some of them need to be stored away in a special container because of the violent reaction they'll have. Radium, for example, would kill anyone around it because of (surprise, surprise) it's extreme radioactivity. Cesium reacts extremely (explosively) with water. Barium, antimony and let's not forget arsenic are extremely poisonous and the latter can kill a human with only a minor dose. That said, I'm surprised that chemical storerooms aren't under a fuckton more security.Might be a nice idea for a mod to create models of the actual elements and make the containers actual containers that can be opened.
