===SECRET CHEMS===
OK some of these arent secrets but they fit the bill.
A secret chemical is a chemical whose recipe is secret. Secret means a specific thing on Goonstation, and it's different from the kind of secrecy associated with something like "secret underground bunker" or "effects of substance on corpses is secret". The recipes of secret chems are kept hidden to allow for the joy of discovery, and if you wish to reveal the recipe to someone, you must observe some key principles:
#The person must explicitly consent to being told the recipe. As with everything in life, silence is not consent.
#The reveal must take place in private. This is more nuanced than you think.
#*Your options in-game are very limited, because no means of communications is truly private. PDA messages can be snooped on, paper messages can be read by others, phones, whispering, and face-to-face conversation can be eavesdropped, and [[Ghost]]s can accidentally see all of these. Radio is definitely not private, and neither are silicon machine talk or similar. Revealing it in-game might as well not be worth it.
#*Adminhelp, prayer, and mentorhelp are not considered appropriate channels for requesting secret chem recipes.
#*Obviously, public Goonstation Discord and forums are definitely not private.
#*On the other hand, Discord DMs, forum private messages, and the Goonstation Discord #imspoiler channel are all considered acceptable ways to reveal secret chems recipes.
 
So you can maybe find these by code diving if you wannt, but we`re not about to publish them,
To be clear, saying the names of secret chems or explaining their effects is not violating secret content policy; those are not what makes them secret.
 
Now with that out of the way: Welcome to the fun section! If you're a scientist who enjoys his job and does it often, then you've probably heard the names of these chemicals thrown around every so often. These are considered the final learning curve before being dubbed an A+ chemist, so if you want to become a true scientific force on the station, taking a stab at these mysteries is within your best interests. Don't be discouraged by their difficulty, you're not the only one! Be diligent, be patient, and use what you've learned from mixing the previous chems on this page.
 
Difficulty ratings assume a fair amount of knowledge, something along the lines of knowing what at least half of the chems on this page do. It is possible to make them as a novice, but most of these chems' recipes were not designed around surface-level knowledge.
