Fundamentals

Chemistry

Cooking in PlaceShift is very similar to simple chemical reactions: one or more reagents (e.g., ingredients) are used to create a product. The tools, books, and facilities used during the creation may be thought of as catalytic reagents, in that they don't get used up. The formula for all recipes is:

Product = Book + Tool + Facility + Ingredients

Heat

When ingredients are told to be heated, they must be placed in a pot and allowed to sit there. After some amount time, a message will be displayed informing you that you have created a new product.

Measure one water filled bucket to create 28 water pouches.
Heat two water pouches to create one mug of hot water.
Heat seven water pouches to create one quarter pot of water.
