Probably Stolen chemical crafting runs through the Chem Finisher. Its panel has a Chem Module slot, a Container slot, an Output slot and a Control Panel where you pick the recipe — for example a vial of Dream Dust — and it runs the recipe you selected. The catch is upgrades: the upgrade tiers cap how pure the output can be at 12%, 6% and 3% impurities, so an un-upgraded finisher puts impurities into the product that you cannot control.
Probably Stolen Chemical Crafting: Setting Up The Chem Finisher
- Put a fully upgraded Chem Finisher in a machine bay.
- Choose the recipe on the Control Panel.
- Load the Chem Module and a Container, then run the recipe.
- Keep a Composition Spectrometer on the container for the whole run. It reads the mixture continuously and tells you the percentage of each component.
- Stop the run before the impurity cap of your upgrade tier.
The slots named in those steps are fixed, and the modules that make the setup work are on the machines and modules page.
Titration, Filtration And Heat
Protein comes out with acid or base. Acid and base work at roughly a 1:1 ratio against protein, and at 1:1 against each other, so you can titrate the last drop of the counteracting reagent to leave only the insolubles.
Filtration is layered. Cotton cloth first, to catch plant matter and insolubles, then a real filter for the smaller particles. A two-pitcher setup, swapping the filter and the cotton between runs, keeps filter durability down.
Purification pills handle chemical contaminants, but they need at least 1 ml of water present — with no water they add 15 ml of chlorine and ruin the yield. Chlorine is also what burns through chemical contaminants once it is in the mixture.
Heat is controlled on the Heating Plate, which has Off, Low and High settings plus a target temperature. Dream cap mush is turned into extract at about 50 °C. Alcohol boils off around 78 °C, so most products should never be heated that high — dream cap extract denatures at that temperature.
Grades, Euphoria And Repeat Customers
Lab Pure is the top narcotic grade, and the achievement Say My Name tracks producing it. Euphoria from narcotics is what turns customers into repeat buyers:
| Product | Euphoria | Batch size |
|---|---|---|
| Dream dust extract | 1 per µl | 1200–1599 µl per vial |
| Phanta pill | 10 per µl | 300–399 µl per pill |
| Euphoria total | What the customer does |
|---|---|
| Below 1000 | Complains and does not come back |
| 1000–1599 | Becomes an addict, 16% chance of returning |
| 1600–2199 | Becomes an addict, 40% chance of returning |
| 2200 and above | Becomes an addict, 48% chance of returning |
A customer can only become an addict once, and medical suppliers never become returning customers. The finished narcotics and reagents are listed on the item list page.
