Boric Alchemy

What is alchemy? That depends on the time, date and the semantic scope you have in mind.
To me, however, alchemy is an inextinguishable tar that seeps between the cracks of everywhere it shouldn't be.
The kitchen, the basement, the roof, the axe, the soil.

Boric Alchemy is my way of bridging alchemical gaps in the parkour course that is Vintage Story.
Why the name? Because boric acid. It burns green. It's made from reacting borax with strong acid - all of these things are in the game, the game supports coloured lights - it was all there, just not assembled. That's what i'm going for.

• Russian translations kindly provided by Dimeymer! 

• Fractional Distiller Model by SkymareAssault!
  

Any fractional distillers crafted before 2.7.8 are being phased out!
In version 3.0.0 they will be fully removed (so you have a lot of time ^^)
However, they will not appear in the creative tab, or the handboot.
.
The old distillers will seamelly become the new ones when you harvest your yield, or remove a beaker from an empty distiller
.
.The new fractional distillers can utilize any colour beaker :D

About the plushies...

They're not going anywhere - I made them for a little server I'm playing on with some friends, they're just cute little decor items - they are not cannon to the mod, per se - but I like them, and I want them on the server alongside this mod. That is all, peace <3

By the way...

Some stuff in the mod doesn't feel right just yet - like how washing the cooking pot doesn't take water - I'm working on it. Working on the juice of the mod, if you will. I haven't forgotten about it, I'm just not that competent a modder yet ;p

 

The alchemist aesthetic and vibe in this mod is based closely on the alchemists in 'Seeking Plagues'
