Chemistry

Chemistry is the two-bench crafting system added in the 1.3.0 Cosmic Companions update, unlocked once you reach Cascade Laboratories. The Distillation Bench refines the anomalous materials you bring back from expeditions into one of 16 Distillations (occasionally a "vial of useless slop," so distill in batches). The Chemistry Bench then mixes those distillations into three families of output across 32 recipes in total: 12 throwable flasks, 10 drinkable tinctures with potent but temporary effects, and 10 weapon coatings. Each of its three inputs holds up to 8 doses, the ratios are fixed rather than discovered, and every mix takes 15 seconds. It is a mid-game power layer. See the chemistry recipe list for all 32 mixes dose by dose.
