Why Rush Soap in Alchemy Factory? Rep 100 Filter Splitter & Transformation Potion (Lv4+ Gold Rush)
Rep 100 (top-right): Max quests/customers—unlocks filter splitter (rotten logs: yellow=mushrooms→fert, blue=planks→fuel/trash). Z floods vitality potions for it—118k/day (3.3M income – 2M expenses = 1M net + 28 quests).
Soap Recipe (60c): 3× plant ash (sage→crucible, 60/min) + 200× linseed oil (flax→extractor, 4k/min) → blender (20/min, 3s). Gateway: Soap powder (grinder) → yeast powder (soap powder + fruit wine → blender) → transformation potion (yeast + gloom spores + coke → assembler, 620c, Tier 6).
Don’t Skip: Quests (carpenter railings), yeast/fert loops. Z: “Soap steady, potions carry.” Daily: 27s soap post-setup, scales with fertilizer.
| Unlock | Rep/Lv | Why Essential? |
|---|---|---|
| Filter Splitter | 100 | Sort logs (mushrooms/planks) |
| Coke Powder | Lv4 | 660 heat (13x charcoal powder 48P) |
| Advanced Catapult | Soap Quests | No-angle, 2 inputs, long range |
| Transformation Potion | Yeast/Soap | 620c, Tier 6 (turquoise/athanor) |
Z Profits: 118k pre-soap → +27k (soap/brick) → 200k+ full shop (glass “crazy buys,” mortar quests).
Step 1: Prep—Bank Portals, Skills & Cleanup (Copper→Silver Infinite Loop)
Z off-cam: Bank portal (copper→silver) + purge. Physical money clogs belts—loops fix (Z: “No stoages!”).
- Infinite Loop: Copper in → silver out → copper back. Gold next.
- Skills (2 points): Fuel + Fertilizer Efficiency (Z: “Coke/adv fert incoming”).
- Cleanup: Bags (sage connect), grinder bypass (charcoal priority: belt passes inputs, overflow loops).
Quicklime Pitfall (Z: 67/3 crucibles): +1 furnace/crucible (20→60/min).
Z Tip: “Less optimal? Working—don’t rebuild!”
Step 2: Rotten Logs & Filter Splitter – Mushrooms/Planks Automation (Rep 100 Must)
Lv4 Unlock: Rotten logs → table saw (planks + mushrooms). Filter splitter (yellow: 1 item, blue: rest)—Z: “Multi-output scary.”
- Build: Logs → saw → splitter (yellow=mushrooms→fertilizer, blue=planks→charcoal/fuel/trash barrel (4 inputs, nightly empty)).
- Ratios: 1 saw = planks (sell/fuel) + shrooms (bounce/gloom/fert). Z skips jams.
| Input | Outputs | Yellow (Filter) | Blue |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rotten Logs | Planks + Mushrooms | Mushrooms (fert) | Planks (fuel/trash) |

Step 3: Soap Blueprint – 24-Bed Farms, Plant Ash Furnaces, Linseed Extractors (Full Ratios)
Quest Tease: Transformation (gloom + yeast + coke)—soap first. Z: New fert station (quicklime + plant ash).
Fert Expansion (12→24 beds, 8-bed groups):
- Layout: 16 flax (linseed), 8 sage (ash). Catapult fert (test speed!).
- Nurseries: 3× (2 flax:1 sage). Fert 1:1, hand-start/crates (100 fert kickstart).
Plant Ash (sage→3 furnaces/crucibles, 60/min):
- Sage → belt → 3x crucible (coke/charcoal fuel loop).
- Split (1/2 blender, overflow merge)—Z: “Matches 24/min sage.”
Linseed Oil (flax→5-8 extractors, 4k/min):
- Flax → table extractors (ground/raised). Flip pipes liquids.
Soap Blenders (3x: 3 ash + 200 oil → 20/min, 3s):
- Ash (60) + oil (4k) → 2-3 blenders (storage). Z: “Optimistic 2→3.”
Z Blueprint (Fert 1-3):
Part1: Stone/nails → assembler (money).
Part2: Grinder bypass (quicklime prio).
Part3: Crucible stack → 1/3 split beds.
Full: 24 beds → 3 ash furnaces → 8 extractors → 3 blenders → catapult.Cost: Nails/rope/stone (nail belt). Time: 10-15 min + kickstart.
Pitfalls: Fert cycle (hand 100); rope (dedicate loom). Z: “Overkill? Test!”
Codex Ratios:
| Component | /min | Machines |
