Content Suggestion Changes to Hume fields / Cartographer

Content Suggestions will be reviewed by Content Team weekly, please allow time as not everything can be reviewed at once.
What does this suggestion change/add/remove:
This suggestion, suggests multiple changes to hume fields / the dimension that humes create as well changes to the cartographer jobs as a result of these changes.

Changes to Hume fields:
- Remove the ability for anomalous matter when dropped to create a hume field or make it so you to break a beaker with 1L of anomalous matter in order to create a hume field
- Add another slot to cartographer as a result
- Reduce the price of dimensions that are bought by cartographers so that they are cheaper to use. (Reduce them from 5k to 2k - 2.5k)
- Reduce the time is takes to create dimensions with the machines that cartographers can create (slight decrease from what it is now)
- Make cartographer a non VIP package job (Probably wont be considered as its something NL need to discuss but it could happen)

Has something similar been suggested before? If so, why is your suggestion different?:
I dont think so.

Possible Positives of the suggestion (At least 2):
- The ability to create a small dimension on demand is way too strong and removes the point of the cartographer jobs even existing. So a positive is that it balances hume fields as they are heavily overtuned.
- Another positive is it, might make cartographer an actually used job as currently there is no point of it even exisiting as ANYONE can create a dimension on demand.

Possible Negatives of the suggestion:
- One negative that people might bring up is "I cant combat CI raids effectively and fast since I cant create a dimension on demand" but I cant lie, that is a cope negative. The ability to create a pocket dimension on demand for the price of 100ML or 200ML of a chemical that is VERY easy to get since it comes from SCPs that are easy to sample like 2295 and 912 is very strong and should be either nerfed or rebalanced accordingly.

- Another negative that is quite small, is that people wont be able to spawn HUMEs to roleplay with (RSD for example) but this would encourage the study of humes that randomly appear in site and would create spontaneous roleplay as a result of that.

Based on the Positives & Negatives, why should this suggestion be accepted:
- Based on the positives and negatives, I think it should be accepted as lets be honest the the ability to create a dimension on demand that allows you get past anyone is very strong as well as if you use another chemical in the dimension you are actually invisible and can get past any hold undected. So based on this it should be accepted as it would rebalance HUMEs overall as they are quite overtuned.

Note:
if you have any questions regarding this dm me on discord (verlocity on discord)
 
Yeah it’s not being made open, and humes are the only way for people to attempt to break a hold.

Holds are famously unfun to fight against without using dimensions, and you can’t guarantee having a carto on standby able to help. The other buffs wouldn’t change that.
smokes and flashes. 1 good smoke breaks like 80% of holds.

If foundation pushed as a group it would break, but they push like 2 people at a time.

countless times, holds have been broken bc of a smoke (D block for example). Like 1 good placed smoke and a group of people either kills a lot of people in the hold or forces the hold back completely.

also the main problem is 966 making u completely invisible so it has no counter play
