Alchemy Lab

The alchemy lab is located in the basement of the church. This is where you craft prayers, books, and alchemy equipment.

See alchemy and sermons for more information.

## Location

The alchemy lab is quite a vast area of multiple rooms below the church, consisting of several logically unconnected areas, which allow workstation placement.

The picture shows the northern part with the initial furnishing, with (from left to right) some graphics on the walls, the study table, more graphics, a trunk and the workbench to build all the other stations, as well as the staircase leading up into the church.

Further south is more room for building, and then a corridor, allowing access to the morgue. To the east a corridor leads, if you turn the first corridor north, through the sacrifice zone into the dungeon, or, if you take the second corridor north, to the cellar and up to your home. If you keep going east, the corridor leads onwards to the trade office and village.

To be able to use those corridors, you have to clear out the rubble there first.

## Trunk

The laboratory comes already furnished with one trunk, that even contains a few of alchemical components. It is **not** possible to build an additional one, but you may build alchemy racks, bookshelves or scrollshelves to store your stuff.

## Study Table

The alchemy laboratory starts out with a study table already installed (though the initial location is not ideal). Most items in the game can be studied for a large number of red, green, or blue tech points. Each type of item can be studied only once.

The  circumspect effect from eating a  cake or a  grape pie can be used to increase the yield by adding **1** to the gain from studying each item.

The study table requires both  Faith and  Science to operate. Faith can be obtained by holding a sermon in the church, from confessionals, or from operating the buffet tent. Science can be obtained from decomposing  clean paper,  notes,  chapters or  Books and  Lens in the study table.

After studying an object, its description might say it is decomposable into a solution, powder, or extract. This refers to the alchemy apparatus that needs to be used to process it.

## Alchemy Workbench (Tier I)

See the alchemy workbench (tier I) page for a list of known crafting recipes.

## Alchemy Workbench (Tier II)

See the alchemy workbench (tier II) page for a list of known crafting recipes.

## Hand Mixer

A hand mixer decomposes suitable materials into solutions for use in alchemy. To be used with the hand mixer a material must first be studied at the study table and have a solution as a decomposition product.

## Alchemy Mill

An alchemy mill decomposes suitable materials into powders for use in alchemy. To be used with the alchemy mill a material must first be studied at the study table and have a powder as a decomposition product.

## Distillation Cube

A distillation cube decomposes suitable materials into extracts for use in alchemy. To be used with the distillation cube, a material must first be studied at the study table and have an extract as a decomposition product. Unlike the hand mixer or alchemy mill, processing an extract proceeds automatically, but only one batch at a time.

## Distillation Cube II

A distillation cube II decomposes suitable materials into extracts for use in alchemy. To be used with the distillation cube II, a material must first be studied at the study table and have an extract as a decomposition product. Using the distillation cube II yields more material than tier I and is considerably faster. Unlike the hand mixer or alchemy mill, processing an extract proceeds automatically, but only one batch at a time.

## Church Workbench

A church workbench is used to make many different products. These include fertilizer, paper glop, ink and pen and ink, paper (pigskin and clean paper), books (softcover and hardcover), rope, candles, incense, and embalming injections.

## Alchemy Rack

The alchemy rack is an alchemy-themed decorative storage structure.

Like other decorative storage, it changes appearance as it gets more full.

## Desk

A desk is used to write various kinds of things.

(notes, chapters, books, flyers, stories, and sermons).

## Desk II

A desk II is used to write various kinds of things. It is claimed to take less energy, and produce higher quality results.

(notes, chapters, books, flyers, stories, and sermons).

## Printing Press II

A printing press II is used to make flyers. It is claimed to take less energy or time.

## Random Text Generator

A random text generator is used by  zombies to make  techbooks and  story.

## Zombie Alchemy Decomposer

A zombie alchemy decomposer is used by  zombies to produce alchemical ingredients.

## Zombie Alchemy Workbench

A zombie alchemy workbench is used by  zombies to produce alchemical elixirs.
