Science Machine

**"Come help us do some science" "We're always trying out new formulas" "Our new science machine makes it easy"**

Science Machine or, as called in the update notes, Science lab job, is a Job added in the v0.6.0 update, along with the Fire Fighter and Wood Cutting jobs. It is located within the Secret Lab, which is found by Wobbly Airport on Mountain Island, and is quite unique in that it doesn't have an icon on the minimap to show it's location. The Science Machine itself is used to create formulas by picking 3 different ingredients to be added, somewhat similar to the Chef Job, and sending the completed barrel up a chute. While a way to get money it is also an important part of the Repair the UFO mission within the Lab. The player receives $10 for each formula completed, and after beating it for the first time the Mad Scientist Hat is unlocked.

Once the job is started a list of 5 different formulas appears. The player has three stations where they can pick which ingredient goes in at each of the 3 stages. Once the create formula button is pressed the barrel will travel from station to station, receiving whichever option the player had selected. Once it is past a station the ingredient can be quickly changed for the next formula, although the selection process can be fiddly.

The first ingredient is selected by pushing or pulling a lever. It is some kind of chemical, either Red, Purple or Orange, with the default being Purple. The second ingredient is selected by turning a wheel to one of four mineral options, like those mined from the Wobbly Mine, Stone, Gold, Emerald, and Diamond, with the default being Stone. The third ingredient is chosen by standing on buttons that cycle through a selection of crops, like those harvested from the two farms on the Farm Island. These four crops are Peas, Tomatoes, Cauliflower, and Corn. There is a button which starts the process, which is beside the end of the conveyer belt where the finished formula comes out of. There is a chute not far away where the formula is placed and then either a new formula replaces the one completed on the board and the player gets $10 added to their pay, or it simply disappears.

The way the machine is needed to complete the Repair The UFO mission is to make the fuel and bring it to the Scientist by the UFO. The recipe to make it is found in the Restricted Area that can only be accessed when wearing the Scientist Outfit, which requires The Lost Scientists mission in the Shrunken Lab to unlock. Within the Restricted Area is a room with a whiteboard next to some floating cows and two scientists watching TV. On the whiteboard is a list of formulas they have attempted, with the one being UFO fuel as the one with a checkmark next to it. The recipe itself is Purple Chemical, Emeralds, Corn. Once that is unlocked another one of the formulas off the whiteboard can be made that unlocks the UFEgg, the UFO with the top looking like a fried egg. That recipe is Red Chemical, Gold, Tomato, and once that is brought over to the UFO it unlocks.
