Chemistry

Chemistry is the skill of working with chemical substances to create useful products. Chemists are the alchemists of the apocalypse, turning plants, animal products, and salvaged materials into medicines, fuels, ingredients, and, when needed, drugs.

To get started, you will need a Chemistry Set and a supply of ingredients. As your skill improves, you will unlock new recipes ranging from simple compounds to advanced chemical mixtures. With higher skill, you can create more complex and potent items. In the right facilities, you can also practice Pharmacology, a specialized system for crafting custom mixtures.

Pharmacology

Pharmacology is an advanced branch of Chemistry that unlocks at 50% skill. It allows you to combine ingredients into custom chemical mixtures, naming your creation, choosing its appearance, and writing your own description. With higher skill, you can create more complex and specialized compounds tailored to your needs:

• 50% Skill: Combine up to 2 ingredients.

• 75% Skill: Combine up to 3 ingredients.

• 100% Skill: Combine up to 5 ingredients.
