Wow. I knew the amounts were bad, but not THAT bad. And that’s just for one mutagen/serum. Multiply the numbers maybe by 10 to get all the Alpha mutations. And depending on luck, you might find a few intermediate or even ready Alpha mutagens while looting the labs, thus getting a small discount. Truly grindy. Gallon jugs are heavy and bulky and not easy to transport en masse, while at the same time they’re spread throughout the labs, as opposed to being concentrated in a storage room or such, thus necessitating lengthy lab-wide search for the ingredients. Bleach and ammonia are rather slow to produce too.
Bleach: batch of 20, takes 8hrs, 2 portions per = 80 portions per day (16hrs work, 8hrs sleep). Might get some discount for NPC assistance.
Ammonia: batch of 20, takes 12hrs, 2 portions per = 54 portions per day (rounded up). (full batch of 20 + batch of 7, which takes 4h12m)
Plus the egg hunt.
I don’t think that’s overall reasonable. It might be OK to see the effort once, but to do it again in the next 10 games? Nah. I’d start by cutting the amounts in half. Or at least bring down the bleach requirement. Mutagen base takes 2 bleach. Make it 1. Alternatively, double the manufacturing portion yield or cut the time in half.
Edit: Oh, wait. I didn’t remember full gallon jug now has 30 portions of ammonia/bleach (or something like that). Used to be 12 or 14.
