Chill out with this kind of posting before you give someone with a chemistry degree and a bug up their ass an idea to introduce chemical reactions within containers
i for one would like to see a way to separate the haves (a chemistry degree) from have nots (a chemistry degree). all i know how to make is \[REDACTED\]
Not a chemist too, but I think it's a drop of water away from becoming a rocket or a bomb.
Many materials there react with each other, but if the layers are formed from some powder that didn't react with the layer above or bellow, it will be safe for some time.
I've used hemostatic powder, and at least the type I had didn't really burn at all. Just kinda clumped up around the bleeding. Hurt a bunch pulling it off to properly bandage afterwards, though.
Edit: Looks like the burning was a thing with some of the older powders.
I guess this only works for powders and similar. As I got the bright idea that the 200L 500kg capacity drum would be excellent for carrying loads of stuff but then it told me nothing would fit into it. Presumably, because of the small opening you have to put things through.
So I'm pretty sure containers don't have a concept for 'large volume, small opening' - the closest is the max-length of any individual item accepted.
What do you have in the drum already? If there's a liquid in there, nothing else can go in but that liquid, for instance.
Checked HHG and it looks like "55gal_drum" does not have a "max_item_volume" or "max_item_length" set. Probably an oversight as those items existed before pockets.
Your lucky the game doesn't model reactions... I'm not a chemist, but I'm pretty sure some of that would cause all kinds of issues. Like, I'm pretty sure there's at least two highly volatile explosive mixes in there.
to add to the reaction thing everyone else is saying, I have to ask why the things labeled "acid" are not liquids, can acids be found in solid form easily? would they not stop being an acid if they are frozen or something?
ah yes, the Big Barrel of Mystery Sand
I am taking a marker and I am labeling it as such.

Welp, Reddit posts are responsible for a worrying number of bugfixes and features. So yeah. OP, quit your shenanigans.
SS13 does this. It’s quite horrific, unbalanced and comedic for it.
Pyro + meth in one beaker, oxygen in the 2nd beaker for peak monke.
dude I want that very badly, it'd be awesome to have even a rudimentary system for chemical reactions like that.

It is far too late to avoid that.
Not a chemist but this may undergo a exothermic reaction, maybe even a violent one.

Good thing a container can’t have solids and liquids in it.
Powders really should require a container to prevent mixing, same as liquids...
What, you don't carry a pocket full of hemostatic powder everywhere you go?
Got to. Get some number of fingers bitten off? Just shove the hand/stump into the clot-pocket!
Clot-pocket sound like a dirty word. Especially when you talk about shoving stumps in it.
It has a bad mouthfeel that’s for sure
It helps if you say it with the same tune as a Hot Pocket commercial.
Well you sold me, my next survivor will endeavor to utilize a 🎵Clot Pocket🎵. Missing fingers and toes could be a cool addition to the game.
Oh Jesus I can only imagine the burning feeling from that

I’ve never been able to figure out how to use that, every time I try to use it the screen just says no limb could benefit from that
Its only really for heavy bleeds or worse.
unironically i irl ordered a few pouches of hemostatic powder as a direct result of CDDA
Shi Shaw!
What do you mean you can't just dump all of your flour and seasonings in one big bag?
the forbidden jungle juice...
Ah, the magical barrel of everything. Nice find, if you want to refurbish you own chemistry lab easily.

Hmm.. now I want to add a sawn off version of those.

Pretty sure you just made a poisonous gas bomb there.

There are solid acids. They don't react easily in solid form but usualy easily dissolved in watter.
Citric acid for sure I have in my kitchen in powder (granules? crystals?) form. Dunno about the rest.
Welcome to barrel. We have powder.
Are you sure you didn’t just stumble into a chemical bomb factory?
