Stuff that powers Plasmids. From Those Bathtubs Full of Green Goop ???

NOTE - a whole lot more EVE is used in Rapture than ADAM, so it must be assumed that it was far easier to produce.
-
Return Empties for ADAM and especially EVE (lots more of that is used ) standard dose unit containers 
Also in the MMORPG's New Rapture : You will find ALOT of 'Empties'.
Make sure they get 'scrubbed out good' before YOU reuse them - contamination with old substances not a good thing ...
Somewhat more realistic Needles please - knitting needle-sized needles leave huge holes which can get infected.

EVE Injection Mystery :
We already have seen that eating and drinking certain things (in the game) gave you an EVE boost ( or sucked some out of your system ... )   So why not get all EVE that way ?   Not fast enough ? Not enough quantity all at once ?  Tummyache issues ??
EVE did not seem to be in such short supply ( We found it laying just about everywhere, versus ADAM Plasmids being much fewer and often protected ).
Normal EVE usage ( particularly for earlier and NON-Combat Plasmids ) may have been largely met by dietary supplements  ( and needles thus avoided ). Perhaps injection wasn't there as big an issue -- YOU In-Game use ALOT more EVE than of injections of ADAM - But was THAT actually extraordinary usage, the whole way WE used it ???  ( Other than Big Sisters, I don't recall any Splicers injecting EVE ?? )
So potentially : More 'foody' ideas in the MMORPG for obtaining EVE, AND more details about how EVE is produced, etc ...
Might be cheap enough ( or better technology ) to have drinkable forms for normal used ( again avoiding those needles ).
Sander Cohen's fancy EVE injector ( seen at his parties ) - the 'high' doesn't really come until you "power up" the ADAM cocktail ( and he no doubt experimented to find the best combinations ).

EVE Is Inexpensive :
To have EVE in those FREE EVE-Dispensers ( like in Atlantic Express Maintenance in BS2 times ) for FREE, it must have been relatively inexpensive. And for us to find those Dispensers still full, meant that it was still plentiful and being manufactured at those later disrupted times. In the MMORPG, plants that contain EVE can be found throughout the City, and were being cultivated by many Splicers. Apparently, anyone who could 'boil an egg' could prepare usable EVE from those sources.
Joke : EvePlants in Rapture eventually got common pest infestation resulting in the biggest Aphids you ever saw ( actually would make more sense if it was an ADAM-Plant -- but if THAT existed, things in BioShock would have got plain ridiculous ... )
Now, if mosquitoes even got to Rapture ( they probably did with all the smuggled fruit and such ), and they drank ADAM contaminated blood ... The Flybots might then have a little competition.

Eve Plants :
A project done to generate EVE using genetically altered plants had been previous carried out ( under Fontaine or Ryan ). The plants had somehow got out of the lab during The Chaos and spread into Rapture, and was now producing EVE for much of the Splicer population. There is still sufficient ADAM (and Little Sisters) and working Gatherer's Gardens ( or Faction run labs ) around for the mayhem to continue.
Later Plasmids/Tonics were designed to deteriorate slower ( versus Fontaine's, since he wanted always to sell more ), so the Splicers in the time of the MMORPG would not lose their powers anywhere as fast ( and may not get as crazy as with the earlier versions ). The demand for ADAM is thus somewhat less, but EVE is needed as always.
The Eve Plants can be cultivated with a little care in a simple flowerbox/flowerbed or common hydroponic garden unit. The Players will find these all over Rapture. EVE is used as part of Tenenbaum's "The Cure" process, so Eve Plants are also grown in New Rapture. The processing/purification of usable EVE is also relatively simple and commonly known.

EVE Syringe ( Ick, a typo - Eye Syringe ... That's not a nice thought ) :
Tiny needle [pix] - How fast can you force a fluid through it ?? ( This isn't a pressure injection inoculation that injects something less than 1 mL through your skin. ) AND 'Do It Wrong', and you inject the propulsion gas into your vein and you die painfully of an embolism.
OR is it really the size of a knitting needle ? ( With the equivalently large holes left in your veins ... )
EVE usage wasn't meant to be quite the way WE use it In-Game, done with brevity - shown done quickly ( in the middle of battle yet ). So the real injection process should be far slower for a human ( Big Daddy just puts theirs into a reservoir built into their suit ). What do you care ? In the MMORPG, you are no longer a Splicer needing to inject EVE ... ( But then you will be dealing with Splicers who DO use EVE sometimes ).

The Improved Ryanfeine Ingredient in EVE :
A genetic agriculture experiment produced a superior easy-to-grow 'Cola Nut' to make a soft-drink formula. It wound up producing an interesting substance which interacted with the ADAM metabolic process. It proved a quicker 'pick me up' when people's energy was depleted by ADAM/Tonic body modification use.
Not sure if this was that green goop we saw in many places in bathtubs. It might have been ( Did you swish you hand around to see if there was a Sea Slug in there ? ).
The person who discovered this substance obviously was trying to earn 'Brownie'/Suckup Points by naming it after the City's founder ( and ultimately his boss ).
