I always see this chemical when I’m browsing through the Chems and there is no way to make it. I think it would be pretty useful in a certain set of circumstances. Below is a recipe I threw together. I am 100% open to other/better recipe suggestions though.
1 Bruzine (because barozine prevents blunt damage)
1 Epinephrine (time consuming to make)
1 Ipecac (Barozine can cause vomiting)
Mix 400k
Yield
2 Barozine
Everyone used to spawn with a medipen that had it. But was removed because it was too strong. It allowed anyone to just brave spacing without a suit and the penalties it implies.
Before everyone had only ONE, and it was still too much. Being able to make it would wreck balance.
i feel it’s meant to be removed from the game, just no one’s done it
the only source of it used to be space pens until they got removed because they didn’t fit with the games design, space is meant to be scary, and adding a get out of jail free card invalidates it
Ok, what if we made it even harder to get. What about this recipe. possible for the crew to make if they get a strange pill with Licoxide and they won’t get very much of it.

1 Epinephrine (time consuming to make)
1 Licoxide

No, It was removed for good reason.
The only way this would ever be a reasonable addition is if it were either a super rare piece of salvage loot, which is in-itself pointless due to the nature of salvage.
or if it had it’s own Massive drawbacks and serious limitations on either aquisition, or duration.
More than likely, You would need to make it be both incredibly short-lived and extremely risky to use more than one dose of.
it being removed was a benefit to the flow of the game and it’s existance at the time coincided with a far more lethal version of spacing we no-longer see.
Nothing you proposed in the “crafting” recipe through chemistry is either difficult to make or any reasonable form of time sink for it to be a balanced situation.
Some things are better left dead honestly.
According to the docs, licoxide is made with zinc and lead.
For this to work the chem would need to be loot-only.
Either a 1% chance spawn in maints or a salvage spawn as suggested by Ryan. The first thing is that it would need to be very limited within a round (no possibility to keep making plenty of it). So if it is ever used, it is low impact and for a limited amount of time.
Imagine nukies in raid suits + spacing. It would get ridiculous.
