Alchemy Engine

“Even more scienc-y than the last one!”

“Even I don't know everything, yet.”

“I am not sure how I feel about... science.”

“I will learn unspeakable things.”

“HELLO, FRIEND”

“It's a research station. I can learn new things with it.”

“This is getting strange.”

“It unlocks recipes of middling utility.”

“Perhaps science can enhance my cömbat skills.”

“Father used to work on something like that.”

“I wish you were a do-all-the-work-for-me machine.”

“Oh, the things I'll learn!”

“It does whut?”

In the Reign of Giants and Shipwrecked DLCs, the Alchemy Engine requires 4 Boards and 2 Cut Stones, and 2 Electrical Doodads to craft.
Tips
- The Alchemy Engine is able to unlock Tier 1 items without the need for a nearby Science Machine, so it may be beneficial to break down the Science Machine for resources after building it.
Trivia
- In the early Beta version of Don't Starve, the game used a "Research Points" system, instead of prototyping. Crafting this station cost 200 Research Points.
- As of the "Hungry For Your Hunger" update, Tier 3 recipes crafted using the Shadow Manipulator have been moved to the Alchemy Engine, due to the separation of Science and Magic.
