Alchemical Reactions

Description
Allow yourself to create and experience Alchemy like never imagined.

Find new ways to use old Vanilla items to make you stronger!
Starting with the Scientist's Plea, This mod includes a quest chain to help players get started with every crafting table available.


Content
This mod will contain materials to be able to create potions and brews to assist in gameplay, or allow players to use the buffs they enjoy.

Included are 7 tiers of potions, ranging from Early-Game Vials, to End-Game Shadow potions, with a few thrown in for partys and mini-games.

Using the Dark Alchemy Table, you can turn almost any vanilla item into a powder, to then convert into a specific buff tied to the item the poweder came from.
For example:
- Sharpened Claws turn into Saris Powder for Hunter Potions.
- Hardened Carapace turn into Pacis Powder for Thorns Potions.

Along with the easy-to-obtain materials, there are systems integrated to allow players to obtain harder materials through the use of recycling old ores or food to obtain Kiris Fragments. These can be combined with Essence to craft powders that come from the more rare mob-drops such as those mentioned above.


Storyline
The Story in Alchemical Reactions is planned to be a prequel story to that of the vanilla Starbound.
Up to 6 chapters detailing the events of the Old Alchemists are already planned, and more to come!

There are also books with easter eggs, and the Timeline that was completed before the Storyline took shape. These and a Page-Intensive development log await those, eager to read into the Lore of Alchemical Reactions.


Armory
Currently there is a basic armory available in this mod.
This includes a single Level 4 broadsword, and eight level 7 elemental broadswords.
The Armory is planned to be expanded at a later date, however for the time being, The swords available should be a welcoming feature to people who are a fan of the Protectorate Sword.

Alchemical Reactions hosts a recolored Empowerment ability on every level 7 swords, each with the color fitting their element. Four of the swords are templated to be Shadow Blades, and as such show a purple hue when swinging.

Please comment with any feedback you may have, and don't forget to use Chariot.

@William I do not know much about painting the weapons as I am unaware of how that would actually work. I do not know if painting weapons was a thing you could do when the mod was created, unless you are referencing another mod with that ability.

As for the spawn ids for the potions:
Shadow Lust - shadowfullmind
Shadow Walk - shadowtraveling
Shadow Host - shadowfullbody

Hope that can help, and I'm glad you enjoy the mod.

what are the spawn ids for the shadow lust, shadow walk, and shadow host elixir?

can you let us paint the weapons?

@KatanaDrama if I remember correctly, Secret Chapters were just putting the crafted codex in the Dark Table. Once you read them, you don't really need the item anymore.

And there is no type of "Legend" for the potions. If they were not already hinted at by the name, it might just be a trial and error type of learning. I don't think I put the actual effect name in the description of the potion.

Starbound was limited to a certain few buffs, but I noticed that there were even fewer ways of obtaining certain buffs. One such as Energy Regeneration was one that was extremely rare, but now with the potions, its a little overpowered in terms of magic and secondary energy attacks. Either way, the mod was made for fun, not balance.

Do you have any type of legend for what each of the potions actually do?

@Mioure Thanks man. I love this mod. I can tell a lot of work went into this. GOOD JOB dude. I read all the codex accept the "hidden recipes" codex. I cant figure out where to get the secret chapters. Any hints on how to do that?

Thanks in advance!

@KatanaDrama The quest line is started from the basic crafting menu. There is a Scientist's Plea that can be crafted to start the entire mod off.

The Armory Table I seem to be unfamiliar with. It's been quite a while since I've worked on this mod, and since have not viewed the files. I recently reopened up the mod files and didn't see anything labeled "Armory".

The "Enchanted Chapter" I assume is what you mean by Enchantium. That was obtained by using the Lost Chapter and combining it with Erchis Essence in the Codex Forge.

Also cant find the Enchantium chapter. Please help.

*Armory table. The Alchemy table is obviously easy to find.

Thanks in advance!

How do I start the quest line and where can I craft the mod tables?
