Acid

Description
Changelog:
- Acid can now be made using animal or humanoid meat too, not just insect one. Hpwever it takes twice as much meat compared to insect one to make same amount of acid, so insect meat is still preferable.
- Added Activated Charcoal medication - can be made with wood and acid at drug lab after researching it, it is used to treat food poisoning and toxic buildup.

Description
Acid is a new item that can be made by processing insect meat at Drug Lab. It is useless on it's own, but can be used for several things:
- If combined with Chemfuel, can be used to make Neutroamine.
- If combined with Wood, can be used to make Activated Charcoal - medication that helps treat Food Poisoning and Toxic buildup.
- Can be used for building Galvanic Batteries - new type of battery that doesn't require components to be built, produces power from ongoing chemical reactions inside, but only lasts for few days and cannot be refueled.

[How it works]
- Research "Acid production"
- Get yourself some insect meat
- Process it at Drug Lab to get the Acid OR buy some from bulk traders.
- Research "Neutroamine production"
- Produce Neutroamine at Drug Lab using 2 Chemfuel and 2 Acid
OR
- Research "Galvanic Battery"
- Build galvanic batteries at the cost of Steel and Acid only (no components needed).
OR
- Research "Activated charcoal production"
- Make some activated charcoal medications at Drug Lab using Wood and Acid, and use it to treat food poisoning and toxic buildup!

What are galvanic batteries?
Just a more simplistic, one-time-use battery that produces electricity from ongoing chemical reactions inside of it. Think of it as of oversized Duracell battery:
- Constantly produces 500w, little bit of heat and lasts 4 days after which it will be destroyed and leave slag chunks.
- Won't breakdown during use, due to very simple design.
- Can be minified.
- Can be turned ON/OFF.
- Deconstructing it yields only slag chunks.
These are decent option for travels, where you probably won't have a power source to charge up your batteries. Only thing you need is to carry some acid (and acid is lightweight) with you - you can get steel pretty much anywhere. Craft the battery and you have decent power source that can last for a while.

Compatibility
Should be compatible with modded Drug Labs (like Electric Drug Lab from Vanilla Expanded - Production).

This wouldn't be possible without help of Rimworld modding community, they helped immensely with getting this thing to work.

Conflict with Humanoid Dryad as both do PatchOperationAdd to Neutroamine's costList.

Just making a note here, I don't know which mod is responsible for fixing

@Victor yeah I will look into it, but can't promise it will be quick :P

Activated charcoal feels like an improved and cheaper version of VFE Empire Apperitiff, since it doesn't empy the stomach. IRL activated charcoal must not be consumed too much as it pretty much absorbs the nutrients you ate so you can, I suppose, get weaker if taking it too much, maybe you could make it so eating it increases hunger for a few hours?

It would be nice if you can do another tech that allows synthesize it from chemfuel or some other shit

@Inquisitor, you can still buy acid from bulk goods traders. They have lots of these and they are cheap.

Good, but insect meat is rahter hard to come by when you are not mountain colony. I really hope there will be more ways to make acid.

love the idea of a pre-charged battery, would be fun to bring along to power stuff for sieges or quests

nice
