one of the three people who use a lot of alchemy wrote:I wanted to wait until i could actually test the feature to say this for sure but this is kinda useless.
No alchemist wants to remember every potion they ever made ever [...] it doesn't remember only "effectful" elixirs, it's saving useless only harmful potions too. [...] This feature can, of course, be improved, but as it is right now it's very much useless, imo.



So they copied an existing mechanic that worked well from another game (again), but used their Swedish magic to make it garbage (again). Who could've foreseen this lol

Perhaps this would be beneficial to the game – many players would return, perhaps with more time available in the summer.
On the other hand, with the arrival of summer comes a ton of worries and chores: exams, admissions, vacations, holidays, planting and tending to the harvest – summer is a "hot" time.

An option for a cookbook would be the ability to write a recipe on parchment by pressing a finished product onto it.
And the ability to collect these recipes into a book. And give the book a name.

Then, only the necessary recipes would be added, done manually, as they prefer in Haven.
It would also be possible to create, exchange, and sell cookbooks.
"A Cookbook for Strength," "100 Recipes for Agility," "Food that Strengthens the Psyche"

This potion converts but the alchemy book doesn't show that it converts
Meanwhile if i really needed to remember this potion i'd just screenshot it alongside it's recipe all on the same screen and post on my discord thanks to a change that you guys made previously this world(w16 or 16.1? i don't remember), or i could simply leave it in a cupboard somewhere and use the potion itself as it's own record.
Also, it won't even let me sort by a specific effect, all i can do is press "effects" and this constitution potion will swap places with the schrifterz potion and that's it.
Really, i don't really see the point.

This alchemy book would be 100% more useful if it remembered ingredients and it's effects instead of whole potions.
There is a much smaller finite number of ingredients in the game than potions you could(and will) possibly make, so the sorting problem wouldn't be a big deal because of that, also it would make my excel spreadsheet less necessary.
Turn this into that and you don't really need to do much else besides maybe making so that the alchemy book also remembers the order of effects* on ingredients somehow.

EDIT: fixed*
