Ah, this reminds me! My magic mod ( http://smf.cataclysmdda.com/index.php?topic=11013.0 ) led me to read a little on the history of alchemy, which could be used for idea. I’ll try and flesh them out into actual recipes since that’s what we need.
Ashes (unless we add them as obtainable from shoveling ash piles), also usable as fertilizer:
{
“type” : “recipe”,
“result”: “wood_ash”,
“category”: “CC_OTHER”,
“subcategory”: “CSC_OTHER_MATERIALS”,
“difficulty”: 0,
“result_mult”: 15,
“time”: 120000,
“reversible”: false,
“autolearn”: true,
“batch_time_factors”:[83, 3],
“tools”: [
[
[ “hotplate”, 3 ],
[ “char_smoker”, 1 ],
[ “toolset”, 3 ],
[ “fire”, -1 ]
]
],
“components”: [
[
[ “splinter”, 20 ],
[ “skewer”, 20 ],
[ “2x4”, 3 ],
[ “stick”, 5 ],
[ “log”, 1 ]
]
]
}
Potash, usable for fertilizer, possibly for making saltwater soap, and as a historical leavening agent:
{
“type” : “recipe”,
“result”: “potash”,
“category”: “CC_CHEM”,
“subcategory”: “CSC_CHEM_CHEMICALS”,
“skill_used”: “chemistry”,
“skills_required”: [ “survival”, 1 ],
“difficulty”: 1,
“time”: 95000,
“reversible”: false,
“autolearn”: false,
“batch_time_factors”:[80, 4],
“book_learn”: [[“adv_chemistry”, 1] , [“textbook_chemistry”, 1], [“textbook_survival”, 2] , [“survival_book”, 2]],
“qualities”:[
{“id”:“COOK”,“level”:3,“amount”:1},
{“id”:“BOIL”,“level”:2,“amount”:1},
{“id”:“CONTAIN”,“level”:1,“amount”:1}
],
“tools”: [
[
[ “hotplate”, 3 ],
[ “char_smoker”, 1 ],
[ “toolset”, 3 ],
[ “fire”, -1 ]
]
],
“components”: [
[
[ “wood_ash”, 1 ]
],
[
[ “water_clean”, 1 ],
[ “water”, 1 ]
]
]
}
Slaked lime, or calcium hydroxide, a lye substitute for some reactions and for some food uses:
{
“type” : “recipe”,
“result”: “slaked_lime”,
“category”: “CC_CHEM”,
“subcategory”: “CSC_CHEM_CHEMICALS”,
“skill_used”: “chemistry”,
“difficulty”: 0,
“time”: 20000,
“reversible”: false,
“autolearn”: false,
“batch_time_factors”:[80, 4],
“book_learn”: [[“adv_chemistry”, 0] , [“textbook_chemistry”, 0], [ “recipe_labchem”, 0]],
“qualities”:[
{“id”:“CONTAIN”,“level”:1,“amount”:1}
],
“components”: [
[
[ “material_quicklime”, 1 ]
],
[
[ “water_clean”, 1 ],
[ “water”, 1 ]
]
]
}
Various properties of the recipes can be tweaked, but there’s some basics and ideas for what to use them for. Will expand on this further by plotting out recipes for caustic potash (potassium hydroxide) and alkahest (basically glass cleaner involving ethanol, caustic lime, and potassium carbonate).
EDIT: I missed some things from copy-pasting the recipe entries that I edited into these. Hopefully didn’t miss any other oddities.
