The Alchemiter is a key machine of Alchemy as it allows the player to create items using the information stored on Carved Cruxite Dowels, at the cost of Grist. The Alchemiter is the final machine used in the Alchemy process.

Obtaining[]

Edit Mode[]

The Alchemiter can be obtained from the Phernalia Registry while in Edit Mode. It can be deployed for free once per in-game day, but subsequent deployments cost 100 Build Grist. It is not possible to obtain the item form of the Alchemiter in Survival Mode.

Usage[]

The Alchemiter is used to create any item from the information stored in a Cruxite Dowel at the Grist Cost of the item.

A Cruxite Dowel can be placed on the small platform below the scanner arm by right-clicking it with the dowel in hand. It can be removed by right-clicking it again. Its stored item information will be used to create new instances of that item.

Alchemiter GUI

The GUI of the Alchemiter, showing the Grist Cost to create 1 Iron Bars. The player does not have enough Rust Grist to alchemize it.

Right-clicking anywhere on the base platform of the Alchemiter will open its GUI. The amount of item to alchemize can be selected, between 1 and 999. Additionally, the total Grist Cost of alchemizing the items is displayed in the right pane, along with the player's current Grist in their Grist Cache.

  • Green text indicates that the cost can be afforded by the player, while red text indicates that the player cannot afford the cost.
  • Any item that has no non-zero Grist amounts in their cost will display as "Free!".
  • Any item that does not have a registered Grist Cost will display "Not Alchemizable", and cannot be created.

Clicking the "Alchemize" button will create the selected number of that item as item stacks in the world and consume the Grist from the player's Grist Cache, if it can be afforded. Otherwise, the GUI simply closes.
