Hey everyone so I wanted to make a quick tutorial that shows you the kind of like the strategy behind how you can advance with alchemy how you can find new recipes how you can try to improve your own recipes so alchemy is a lot simpler than it seems and to get started you’re Going to need an Olympic the crafting recipes are in the recipe dev post and they’re also in the gameplay info channel it’s really simple you just place them down it comes up like this every Olympic has two main inventory slots it has the three on the side for Shaman top and the 15 in the center for your ingredients to get the Olympics to work you need to fuel them with coal and then you also need water bottles in the top up here so alchemy runs on an aspect system kind of like thaumcraft if you Played with it at all essentially every item in the world is going to have a usually three different aspects on it and in varying amounts there are ten aspect types in the game life death earth air fire mechanic corrupt arcane psionic and divine these are some items That are very close to the aspects and usually you can tell by their descriptions embark Armour is very hard armor made of literal wood and thoughts it’s an earth-based item the spider silk is lighter than air up this is the wrong one I updated the descriptions today Spider silk is lighter than air alright it’s an air based item the magma core is the core of a elemental lava creature it’s a fire item it’s usually not too hard to tell what the primary aspect is on an item and sometimes you can tell what the secondary aspect is on an item But not always sometimes it gets a little more difficult so I’m gonna show you how I would as a player go about trying to discover new stuff with brewing so over here I have the health to splash recipe as posted on the subreddit we have shaman SAP we have lifeless ash That doesn’t sound like it’s that good for a health potion but we’ll see we have ember stone mold scrap metal and then a couple of other items right we’re gonna put them in and we’re just gonna run off the basic recipe here so if I Put this in I’m gonna start it up it usually takes a while I have a secret admin tool that’ll make this video go a lot faster that’ll be done in one minute we’re going to also try to experiment with our own recipe here so what we’re Gonna do let’s say that I don’t have a lot of fever for you right we see health potion there’s a lot of life based items we have feverfew we have living wood we have a repair kit which maybe has life we’re not really sure we have the Ember stone which are apparently life-giving Stones so we see lots of life based items in our health potion recipe so it’s it’s a pretty good guess that we need life items in our health potion recipe but let’s say we don’t have access to fever for you all right we need to get a Different item so we could look around at our different items right we have tomes of healing we could use we can have heal root we can use let’s try to use some he’ll root so we’re gonna overshoot the feet refuse an uncommon resource and he’ll root is an uncommon Resource the way the resources work is that the higher tier of resources have more aspect points in them so the uncommon resources are usually worth like three to six of a common resource in total you have to keep in mind that just because it has more points doesn’t Mean it has more of what you want like if you’re using like a steam work component that sounds like it might have some air and some mechanic themes because it’s steam and it’s a component comes from the clockwork mops but you can’t always swap it out directly with Another air item because like I said it’s probably got mechanic in it and maybe you don’t want that mechanic or maybe a different item has more that you could have a common item that could be eight points of air and then that wouldn’t that wouldn’t work very well so You have to usually overshoot so what we’re going to do we’re replacing the three feverfew that I left in here with four heal root but we’re going to put it in the Olympic over here we’re gonna do we’re gonna try to use heel root instead of feverfew for a health potion recipe I Forgot to put water bottles in don’t even know how to use my own plugins alright so what I probably should have done I’m realizing my mistake it’s possible this won’t work because I didn’t put in any extra shamon sock so we’ll see if it works without the extra Shamans out but if it doesn’t we’re gonna try the same thing with extra shamon so you should always do extra salmon shop chemin sab when you put in new ingredients because whenever you put in more ingredients chances are you have to use extra sap to make up for whatever You were missing like whatever you have extra sorry not missing so our recipe earlier that was the sample recipe work just fine so we’re gonna see if this other one works but it just in case it doesn’t I’m gonna try the same thing that’s before and we’re gonna use extra Cinnamon a shaman sound so I’m gonna grab another like for stop really shouldn’t use for we’re gonna try to because the SAP the way the SAP works is the SAP covers 10 points if that aspect isn’t in the recipe so like death if you have death in your health potions Alright shamon sap is only gonna cover 10 points of death because it’s pretty good guess that you don’t need death in your health potions if it’s extra life points in your health potion recipe the shamon sep will cover up to 20 now you don’t know exactly how much life is in Your items but if you have an uncommon item it’s a good indication that probably at most you have 20 to 30 points of stuff in it and it’s gonna be a mix between like heal route probably has a lot of life and you know it’s a Plant so maybe it’s got like some earth or something else we don’t really know exactly so let’s see if these worked that did work so I guess I had enough famine SAP in there already but usually you should put an extra so we’ve made some potions we figured out that we can Swap out three fever for you for four heal root in the health potion recipe and that it worked alright maybe we want to try something else maybe we want to get rid of these ember stones all right so good guess Empress stone comes from the fire mobs as life in it Probably has life and fire so we needed to replace it with stuff that has life and fire so let’s see what do we have that has life and fire well we got some tomes of healing so we can try some tomes of healing so what I’m gonna do Tomes of healing are worth about 50 points probably 50 to 60 amber stones are worth about 20 to 30 so we’re gonna try two tons of healing but we’re gonna overshoot so what we’re gonna do we’re gonna do Tom’s healing and one heal group and we’re gonna say that gives us Our life points and then ember stones probably have some fire in them and I see some other fires fire items in here we have dying embers lifeless ash chances are we need to replace this with fire so what we’re gonna do is we’re gonna do like a multi swap so what we’re Gonna do is we’re gonna swap out our ember stones and we’re gonna use instead some fire items burning pelt sounds good let’s grab a couple of those what else do we want what else can I make fire with you know hellhound fangs that sounds like it’s got some fire tip clothes like embers Sounds like fire so we’re gonna put in some fire ends so what we’re gonna do is we’re gonna load this up with some extra SAP because we made a lot changes so I’m gonna bring 15 extra SAP to try to you know just a rough estimate of how many Points I actually did extra bringing extra SAP will help us deal with any extra aspects that were unwanted that we bring into our recipe so we’re gonna put in 15 extra SAP you know what just in case in case my math is really bad we’re Gonna do 20 because I’m bad at mine all right shove our items in here the original amount of SAP needed for the sample recipe and all our items so what we’re doing is I took out ember stones and that could be really good if I don’t have access to like an uncommon item Like let’s say I had to trade for these fire items across the map and I didn’t have extra ember Suns left by still wanted brew health potions I could probably still brew health potions so I need water bottles we’re gonna put in water bottles here we’re gonna start it up You can do the same thing with basically any other recipe all right you can swap it the swapping out items works just like that it’s very much like the home craft except you don’t actually get to see the thaumcraft tooltip where it tells you what aspects on the item that Information is hidden from players so this is the speed to potion recipe as the sample given on the subreddit we’re gonna start that up speed it up to one minute and so we can try to do some swaps with this recipe so let’s say say we want to try something other than Tongue of dog all right we can put in a different item tongue of dog it’s talking about vigor so it’s a good guess that it’s using life so let’s grab some life items and let’s try we’re gonna overshoot probably you don’t even need to overshoot that much we’re gonna try Swapping out for the living would time of dogs to fight all right we’re gonna try swapping out for living wood in this speed potion recipe and we are going to grab some extra shaman stop to make up for any extra aspects that we probably use we’re gonna pop that in there and We’re gonna try to make it without tongue of dog because tongue of dog is a fire item like it comes from the fire mobs and none of these are fire items so now we’ve created a recipe that can be made without having to travel to the Fire side of the map for speed potions so we are going to it worked the one we just did worked so we’re gonna take those speed potions out then we’re gonna try to make it without the fire items so we’re going to put this in there it’s pretty likely that there wasn’t Even any fire needed in the recipe in the first place because tongue of dog despite dropping from the amber wolf doesn’t really seem like it’s a fire item it’s not talking about fire it’s not literally on fire like the Ember Pelt or the other items are so it’s a Good guess that there wasn’t any fire needed in this recipe so we’re gonna start out to me here we’re gonna speed it I forgot to put it in an ingredient okay sometimes that happens you forget to put in your ingredients so we’re gonna we’re gonna try that again we’re Gonna do the same thing so that recipe probably won’t work cuz I forgot to put in my ingredients but we’re going to grab some living wood we’re gonna grab some extra shaman sap we’re gonna try that again there’s no shame in failing at alchemy alright it happens okay we’re gonna start alchemy again Except there’s no water bottles I always forget my water bottles start alchemy speed it up I didn’t speed that one of you there whoops okay our previous health potion experiment worked so we know that the Ember stone that we swapped out earlier for the other life Themed items it worked and we were able to remove ember stone from the recipe which might be hard to get if you’re on the eastern side of the map sorry western side of the map where there’s a lot of like there’s elder tribes and the mechanical mobs but there aren’t any Fire mobs over there so it’d be useful to be able to do this kind of experimentation and find out quick and easy a way to use items that you have and not use items that you don’t have it’s really the alchemy is actually that complicated the potions are really cheap There’s a shitload of potion ingredients sitting in chests on this server right now I’m actually a little concerned the potions are too cheap and that pretty quickly people will have ungodly amount of health potions so what happens often if you’re missing a little bit of aspects from like a speed to recipe its Instead of giving you a useless potion you’ll usually get like the previous version of the potion so if you’re missing some aspects from a health boat health splash potion it’ll typically give you a health two potion or health one potion instead just because those recipes were simpler and easier and Yours wasn’t quite good enough to fall into the bucket of Health two splash but it was good enough to fall into the bucket of health too so you can always use these potions for normal use or PvE or whatever and you don’t need to feel too bad about your experimentation Yielding absolutely zero results so we saw earlier we swapped out the live the what’s what did we do you’ll have to go back and watch that I guess I’m pretty sure we swapped out ember stones for living wood in this I could be wrong it’s good to write down what changes you made Then you’ll forget like me but we took out ingredient we didn’t want from the speed to recipe which I don’t even have anymore and we made potion with ingredients that we did have there’s a little more complicated thing that you can do and that is you can try to use Less shaman SAP in your recipes but that’s a little like later game kind of tech because it’s a lot harder to do and it requires more experimentation because you can’t just put in more shamon SAP and hope for the best however if you do start taking out Ingredients or making swaps to see if these swamps enable you to take out ingredients um you’ll notice that you’ll be able to make cheaper potions and cheaper potions are definitely better anyways I hope this helped you guys I hope this video wasn’t too long this should help you figure out how to do Alchemy on civics go have fun earthen server Video Information
