Hey there people! Today we will figure out how new alchemy system would work. First of all, what's wrong with current alchemy? Alchemy is like jack-in-the-box, so novice can't predict result of ingredient mix. In case of failure, you will get useless goo and that's not proper way to being alchemist. How we will change the alchemy? We will reward players curiosity and make alchemy more friendly. That's why in case of failure you will receive tip-goo. This goo will give you a clue how to mix properly one of used ingredients. For instance, you may turn goo into ingredient on alchemy workbench. How does it works? I am trying to mix Acceleration powder with Toxic solution. I get Slowing goo as a result.
It mean that I can successfuly mix Acceleration powder with Slowing solution, or Slowing powder with Toxic solution. We will try first case. With our Hand mixer I can turn 4 Slowing goo into Slowing solution.
Then I mix Acceleration powder with earned Slowing solution.
Done! We've discovered new alchemy receipe!
