Hey gamers! Happy New Year 2026! Kicked off the year with an intense Junkyard Builder stream diving deep into Alchemy Factory mode. If you’re searching for Junkyard Builder tips, the Alchemy Factory automation guide, or how to crush Tier 7 with blast potions and diamond production, this recap’s for you. We battled sulfur shortages, pipe nightmares, and backups while hitting massive profits—4-5 diamonds daily at 100+ silver each!
Junkyard Builder (Early Access on Steam, mostly positive 70% reviews from 137 players) is a trash-to-treasure sim with satisfying restoration and automation. Alchemy Factory mode? Pure Factorio-Satisfactory vibes with medieval alchemy: cauldrons, catapults, and conveyor chaos turning junk into potions and gems.
Junkyard Builder Alchemy Factory Tips: Tier 7 Highlights & Builds
Started in the night cycle, optimizing for max profit: 318 silver earned, 251 spent (net positive) + copper overload. Key Alchemy Factory gameplay tips from the stream:
Diamond Production Guide (Best Money Maker)
- Accidental win: Added quartz (44 silver/value) to crude shards.
- Fed growth potions into gem shaper → 2-3 diamonds/day.
- Sold 4 diamonds for ~530 silver profit. Catapults flinging stacks = pedestrian dodgeball!
Blast Potion Quest Breakdown (Main Progression)
- Oblivion essence via Paradox Crucible: Fed steel gears (fastest 0.67 s/unit, black powder fuel).
- Brandy recipe: Red currant planters + coke powder in advanced blender.
- Sulfuric acid fix: Brine + quicklime pipelines (elevated for chaos-free flow).
- First blast potion! 5.5/min rate. Growth potions bottleneck? The dedicated clay line (sand → stone → furnace) doubled speed.
| Alchemy Factory Chain | Key Inputs | Output/Tips | Profit/Quest Impact |
|---|---|---|---|
| Diamonds | Growth Potion + Quartz | 2-3/day – Use priority splitters | +100 silver each – Top earner |
| Blast Potions | Oblivion Essence + Black Powder + Brandy | 5.5/min – Cauldron bonuses | Main quest unlock + sales |
| Oblivion Essence | Steel Gears (black powder fuel) | Variable speed – Self-loop fuel | Essential for late-game |
| Clay Production | Sand and Stone | Dedicated line fixes backups | Potion bottleneck solver |
Factory Optimization Tips & Fixes
- Sulfur crisis: Doubled pyrite smelters and elevator/catapult reroutes.
- Piping hell: Avoid chaos—use elevators & priority splitters.
- Fuel loop: Self-sustaining coke/charcoal (bearings → essence at 3.1 s/unit).
- Hit Level 8: Unlocked world tree seed (50 gold goal), advanced shaper, max fuel efficiency.
Pro tip: Unlist low-view YouTube videos to protect channel algorithms—real streamer advice!
Funny Stream Moments
- Flying iron slap mid-build!
- Broth diet struggles (clear liquids only—send real food).
- Chat classics: “Girl builds factory, girl mad” & pumpkin chucking refs.
- Zero diamond sales from overload—balance those backlogs!
