== Identifying side effects == [[File:BP IngredFull.png|thumb|An example ingredient with three side effects.]] Nearly all ingredients have side effects. The side effects in an ingredient are easily identified by their red concentration bars. In the example to the right, three side effects are listed: Narrows Pupils, Encourages Anxiety, and Urinary Retention. At the import concentration of 19, only one of these effects is active, but any can be activated depending upon the processing steps that are performed on the ingredient. It is also important to note that [[Catalyst|catalysts]] are always part of a side effect, not a cure effect. In the example, we can see "Encourages Anxiety" is a Type 2 catalyst, while "Urinary Retention" is a Type 3 catalyst. When making a drug whose cure requires upgrades, if the upgrade requires a catalyst, the appropriate one will need to be present for processing. Often, this means adding a side effect - sometimes a very bad one - to the drug during processing in order to enable the cure upgrade. This is not necessarily a permanent problem, however, as side effects can be removed prior to packaging and sale of the drug. When attempting to maximize sales and reputation, doing so is highly recommended. Note that not all side effects are created equal; some, like "Permanent Paralysis", would have a much worse effect on your cure rating than something like "Induces Sleepiness". Generally, the more dots a catalyst has, the worse the side effect is considered to be, while the side effects without catalysts are considered the most minor. Processing machinery is blind to whether a particular effect is a cure or side effect; they are all affected equally. This means that passing a drug with side effects through a [[Hadron Collider]] will ''maximize'' the negative results of the side effects while it maximizes the positive effect(s) of the cure(s) present.
