how do you use a mortar and pestle?

Postby Leadpainter » Fri Jan 10, 2025 6:47 pm

I built an alchemy table and crafted a mortar and pestle but I can't figure out how to use either? trying to craft herbal swill gives me the "you need to be using a mortar and pestle" message. I figured that the mortar and pestle needs to go into the table inventory somehow, but it won't go in when I try to place it. what am I missing?

You need the mortal and pesto equipped in your hands like a tool.
I don't know for sure but I was angry that the only response to your thread was from someone who clearly cannot read.

The two recipes that do NOT require an Alchemist Table, require you to hold the Mortar and Pestle in your hand slots, similar to Frying Pan or a Glass-Blowing Rod. Lets call this the first tier of alchemy.

Second tier is more or less building an Alchemist Table, then crafting the following and placing them on the table:

This will unlock "Mineral Calcination" and "Measured Distillate" -processes, alongside "Mushroom Decoction" -elixir.

Third tier will start requiring expensive materials - one-time cost for two advanced tools requires "precious metal" (ie. gold or silver) and utilizing them consumes high amounts of Mercury and/or Lye.
