[quote=“Paquito, post:3, topic:6584”][quote=“KA101, post:2, topic:6584”][quote=“Paquito, post:1, topic:6584”]I’m currently trying to make Alpha mutagen in the latest stable build, which is made up of thee other types of mutagen. I’ve been wandering a lab looking for these other types, but keep finding “serums” instead of mutagen.
It’s a shame I can’t make alpha serum from these three serums, and/or make normal mutagen by diluting serums.[/quote]
Intended. Serums are an effective way to rapidly obtain demonstrable results in mutagen research, at a noticeable cost savings thanks to increased efficacy and lower subject-rejection rates. XEDRA’s xenopharmacological corps adopted that methodology agency-wide. Mutagens you find lying around were probably being processed or whipped up for limited-run tests.[/quote]
Hrmm, the fact that serum recipes call for the same-type of mutagen suggest that they’re merely a concentrated form of the mutagen that could be diluted, rather than what you’re describing here. The recipe should probably be changed to fit the lore?
Anyway, the recipe for alpha mutagen calls for three other types of mutagen. Given what you’ve explained, it’d make sense to be able to make alpha serum from serum of those three other types, ya?[/quote]
They’re a cooked-down form of the mutagen. I’ve considered dilution but would then go MUTAGEN_WEAK on 'em (less than 100% chance for one mutation, not usable in further crafting).
Likewise you’d end up with alpha “inedible gunk in the bottom of your vessel”. Serums are fairly concentrated as-is.
