Alchemy Recipe
It seems there is some sort of bug in applying a recipe, when adding the step of adding the stock with the concentrations required it visually shows as if it's adding the stock to the cauldron but nothing happens and it stops there. Don't know if I'm doing something wrong, but I then add it manually and it works.
Re: Alchemy Recipe
It's a known bug that afaik requires rewriting the entire alchemy system to fix, and likely won't be fixed since a workaround exists:
Adding the essence brew to the stock instead works.
So recipes where you make the essence brew, bottle it, make the stock, add the essence brew, then bottle it, will not encounter the same bug.

Re: Alchemy Recipe
Tried this as well, actually. It ends up always adding an already made potion instead of an essence (if there is one in your bag/inventory) which then makes the whole thing blow up.Brightrim wrote: ↑Mon Nov 16, 2020 7:21 pm It's a known bug that afaik requires rewriting the entire alchemy system to fix, and likely won't be fixed since a workaround exists:

Re: Alchemy Recipe
Are you specifying what herbs the essence brew contains when adding it? I've never had what you described happen.Demelza wrote: ↑Mon Nov 16, 2020 11:02 pmTried this as well, actually.

Re: Alchemy Recipe
There's your problem then. Essence brews are not meant to have no plants.
Other than dragon breath, there are currently no amethyst/ruby powder potions that require essence brews.
Re: Alchemy Recipe
Ah, got you! My mistake was thinking I needed to bottle up the essence with no plants then add it into the stock rather than adding the powder directly in the stock. Thank you for clearing that up.

I will look into it, but the scripts for this are rather... wild. Since there is an existing workaround, and you don't loose any items if you do it in the wrong order, it is not likely to be fixed soon.
