Alchemic Chemistry Set

The Alchemic Chemistry Set is a block added by Blood Magic that combines up to five different items with LP supplied by a bound Blood Orb to create a new item.

The Alchemic Chemistry Set has a Thaumcraft Infusion recipe that requires the Alchemic Chemistry Set research in the Blood Magic tab of the Thaumonomicon.

The recipe requires a brewing stand on the center pedestal surrounded by six cells of Life Essence and six Blank Slates. The required essentia is 24 Fabrico, 24 Instrumentum, 18 Praecantatio, 12 Victus, and 12 Ignis.

Right-clicking a placed Alchemic Chemistry Set opens its UI. Ingredients are placed in the five slots that surround the center and a bound Blood Orb is placed in the bottom right slot. LP from the Blood Orb's owner's Soul Network (except for recipes involving Potion Flasks) and one of each ingredient are consumed to create a new item that is placed in the center slot.

If LP runs out while the recipe is crafting, progress will pause. The owner will neither take damage nor get the nausea potion effect.

Most Alchemic Chemistry Set recipes require a Blood Orb of a minimum Altar Tier. If an orb that is too weak is used, the recipe will not start. Valid Blood Orbs are shown with the recipe in NEI.

If the same item is shown multiple times in the recipe, it must be placed in multiple slots for the recipe to be valid. Recipes will only consume one item from each slot.

Empty slots shown in the recipe may include any item, including duplicates of those present in the recipe and items completely unrelated to the current recipe.

Red swirl particles will appear over the Alchemic Chemistry Set while it is processing a recipe. WAILA will also show the current recipe progress and item being crafted.

Inputs may be inserted into the Alchemic Chemistry Set through any means of item transportation from any direction except for below. Outputs are extracted from the bottom side. The Blood Orb cannot be inserted or extracted by automation, but automatically draws LP from its owner's Soul Network as required for operation.

For recipes with duplicate items, there are two solutions. The first is renaming one of the items in an Industrial Material Press similar to automating the Assembly Line. The second is disabling "Combine Items" in the pattern terminal AND changing the insertion mode of an ME interface attached to the Alchemic Chemistry Set to "Insert to Empty Slots Only."

The Ballad of Alchemy may also be used to automate inputs and outputs of items. It is required for automation of recipes that use any items that leave behind containers (like buckets of water or lava). This ritual is also useful for recipes that require multiple stacks of the same item. Supplying the ritual with the Potentia reagent boosts the recipe speed by a factor of 5 for 5 ticks per 2 AR.

World Accelerators in Tile Entity Mode may also be used to speed up crafting time, and, as with any processing operation, using multiple Alchemic Chemistry Sets in parallel will improve throughput.
