Alchemical

“Matter cannot be created or destroyed… only changed.”

Alchemica bridges the gap between the arcane and the scientific, introducing a hands-on, immersive alchemy system that refuses to rely on boring GUI menus or magic blocks. In this world, equivalent exchange is not just a rule—it is a threat.

⚗️ The Ritual

Forget complex machinery. True alchemy requires only a Water Cauldron, a Campfire, and a Stick. By throwing raw ingredients into boiling water and stirring them manually, you can transmute matter. But be warned: the laws of the universe are strict. Trying to turn Iron into Gold carries a 50% risk of failure, leaving you with nothing but useless Alchemical Ash.

⏳ Entropy & Decay

Time is your enemy. Food in your inventory is no longer safe; it will slowly rot away into putrid flesh if left unattended. To survive, you must master the art of Distillation. Brew Vinegar from apples, distill it into high-proof Alcohol, and use it to Preserve your food supplies forever.

Nature also reclaims technology. Iron Ingots exposed to rain and open air will slowly oxidize, turning into Copper. You must protect your resources or watch them degrade before your eyes.

📡 The Signal

You are not alone, but you are isolated. The Antenna is a mysterious piece of technology that is required to communicate with the outside world. Without it, your chat is locked, leaving you in total silence.

Features:

Immersive Crafting: No GUIs. Throw items in, stir with a stick, and watch the particles fly.

Risk Mechanics: Every transmutation is a gamble.

Food Spoilage: A fully functional rot system with tooltips.

Preservation: A complete brewing branch to create Pickled Food.

Atmospheric Tech: Rusting iron and mandatory communication antennas.

Progression: A custom “Distillation” advancement tab to guide you through the dark arts.
