How it works
A full chemistry setup (Composition Spectrometer, Blender, Heating Plate, Evaporator, Chem Finisher and more; 1,940 credits at base value), plus recurring visits from the chemist, ingredient sellers and dealers. Most products are contraband, so pair it with Wild's Fixers.
On the chemistry route
What it does
You receive used chemistry equipment, and ingredient sellers and Dealers start visiting regularly.
Rating
The equipment opens a technically demanding production line with recurring ingredient and buyer access. High nominal kit value does not cover mistakes in composition, legal exposure or operating cash.
A narrow use, a high price or a nightly fee usually makes fixing your current business the better spend. Buy it only for a specific plan.
When stock is piling upConsider processing surplus only when a specific recipe and paying outlet justify the additional equipment and protection.
When production falls shortFix the existing line first unless chemistry itself is the chosen missing production branch. It does not supply every reagent or finish a delivery for you.
