This is why I wish there were more clarity in the patch notes. I get that this is beta, but we shouldn't need Hans Lemurson and all the other brave testers to determine how stuff works, so that we can understand what the patch notes actually meant

See, I was under the impression that a single item's highest alchemical values will sort of equalize, for every item. Or at least that the second highest alchemical value will rise to reach the value of the highest. Now people are right in also wondering wether the values are affected between items in the same cooker. So which is it in the end? 40/30/15/15 - > 40/40/10/10 for one item, or 50/15/15/20 + 20/40/20/20 would result in 50/15/15/20 + 16.6/50/16.6/16.6 ? I'll have to do some testing, sigh. But I really do hope patch notes will evolve into "List of items will behave according to the formula [formula] and be influenced by [thing1] and [thing2] by [amount1] and [amount2] respectively", as opposed to "We changed something, it's related to a tool, and a craftable recipe. Have fun finding out what it is!"
Exactly 6.022 x 10^23 worth of Lach molecules.
