Nothing too extreme. Just want to be able to take all the plants, liquids and metals I've found and mix it to make some sort of concoction with variable effects. It'd be great if I could store them in a bottle which I could either drink or throw at frenemies. If you think about it the possibilities are almost endless! EDIT: Check out this awesome suggestion made by Zzyxzz! Alchemy Suggestion Tools To mix such drinks, there should be an extra table or something similiar to that, maybe an alchemy table (table with vials and all that stuff on it, premade) Ingredients There is a need for more ingredients. (maybe?) Ingredients could look like the ones from cooking. - Wheat, Chili, Carrot, Sugar, Currentcorn etc. - New Ingredients: Different Alien Plants, that can be found on a planet surface. Plants differ from planet to planet. Now the question is, does the materials need to be extracted (simple terms or chemical terms) or should be raw materials be used? i.e.: Wheat -> extract -> Flour or Wheat -> extract -> | insert chemical term | + Grapes -> extract -> Grape Concentrate or Grapes -> extract -> | insert chemical term | + Water + Glas Bottle = Potion of Health(common) *Increases Health by 15% for 25 Minutes. Potion Types Regenerating Typ - Restores Health/Energy over time or instant. Buff Typ - Applies a buff to the player Negative effects - Which can be used with a weapon. (Poison a weapon, Melee and Bow(Arrow)) - Explosive Potions - Poison Potion - Elemental Potion Potion Effects Regenerating Typ Examples Potion of Healing - Restores x Health instantly. Potion of Regeneration - Restores x Health over x Seconds. Buff Typ Examples Potion of Endurance - Increases Health by x% for x Minutes. Potion of iron skin - Reduced damage taken by x% for x Minutes. Potion of Agility - Increases Movement Speed by x% for x Minutes. Potion of Strength - Increases Jump height by x for x Minutes. Potion of Feather - Decreases falling damage for x Minutes. Potion of <insert Element> Resistance - Decreases damage taken from <insert Element> for x Minutes. Potion of the Ranger - Increases the span speed of your Bow for x Minutes. Potion of Berserking - Increases attack speed with melee weapons by x for x Minutes. Negative Typ Examples Potion of Crippling Poison - Slows Movement Speed and/or Reduced attack speed for x Minutes. Potion of Deadly Poison - x Damage every x Seconds. Potion of Liquid Ice - Freezes the Target for x Seconds. Potion of Liquid Fire - Burns the Target for x Seconds. Potion rarity Potion are normally common quality but in the process of making they can get an upgrade (a perfect mix). A perfect mix increases the effect and the duration of the potion. (or maybe only duration to prevent balance issues). The chance of getting a perfect mix can be increased by getting tools that have a better quality then the previous ones. Vendor Potion Vendor and Ingredient Vendor could be then also integrated into the planets. Maybe also some ingredients should be hard to find but also be sold for a high price. Also Recipe Vendors could be added which sell "Superior Recipes". Pixel I dont like the idea, that u need Pixel to craft stuff. So for this: No potions should cost Pixel! Only stuff that u can buy at a vendor ofc.
Yeah i would love to see such a feature. Im a total fan of alchemy in every game! Maybe make it possible to also get buffs like i. e.: Potion of Endurance - Increases Health by 25% for 25 Minuted Potion of iron skin - Reduced damage taken by 5% for 10 Minutes. Potion of Agility - Increases Movement Speed by x for x Minutes. Potion of Strength - Increases Jump height by x for x Minutes Etc.
And here I thought this was going to be a suggestion on changing one element into another. I am disappoint.
Given how much time I spend farming, having somebody drop off a bunch of glass blocks or sand to melt down into glass blocks and letting me do my kitchen magic would be awesome. Whip up some epic boost potions, and pass them off to the party while they go rampage through the solar systems wreaking havok. And letting me get back to cooking and farming. I love the idea!

Nice post Zzyxzz, I really like the detail you went into with it. I think for purposes of ease if your allowed to extract from a resource, you should only be able to do it once. If you could do it twice I think it would be awesome but would take more time for both the dev's to program and for us to learn. I like your potion effects suggestion. I think you can even get a little more creative with them like a potion to make you grow in size which buffs your strength while sacrificing speed. A potion which sets the user on fire and makes whomever touches them set ablaze or even a throwing potion of chaos. There are numerous possibilities with your suggestion. Mind if I sticky it to my first post?
