WHUT KIND OF QUSTION IS THAT!? NOT to drink mutagen is a sin and you don’t deserve purifier if you don’t drink it.

Don’t let this scare you , with great mutagens comes great responsibility.

Next time , pick the robust genetics trait.

dont use it. just stick it in your stash. you will get purifier in the game. they are on scientist corpses and in labs. labs also have fetus parts taht do the same thing. there is no reason to be impatient.

if you have robust genetics it does help youg et a better a trait, but the odds are not that great that its worth the risk. yes i know about the robust genetics fix. it helps ,but its not a massive improvement in odds.

Mutagen must be consumed the moment it enters your inventory , that’s the law.

It’s just generally fun to get mutations , bad ones or good ones , but the randomness makes it just brilliant.

See , you would never had experienced the miracle of mutations if you’d search for a purifier.

Bleh. Should’ve saved it and trans’d into a specific type. Preferably a beast muta. But, y’know, what do I know?

Generally, one dose of Mutagen isn’t worth drinking right then. Stockpile until such time as you’re able to manufacture Purifier.

And by that time, you’ll have enough to go totally post-human, and the Purifier to do touch-up work as needed.

But Purifier is random too, right? It could take away good mutations, leaving you with the bad ones.

EDIT: You might need a lot of ammonia and bleach if you’re not lucky…

Indeed. The Man With The Hands lived on top of a fairly extensive Lab and mined it for flasks as well as bleach/ammonia.

And there were about 5-6 other labs on the map he’d opened up, too.

The morale of life is to drink all of the mutagens you can , while you still can.

Bad mutations give you reason to search for cure and generally are still somewhat fun.
