That's not what you said back in 2016 :)

I don't know what the "Equivalent Excahnge Mod" does but if people like to use the 2 mods together i find good that the mod works with science machine instead of alchemy engine.

Anyway the purpose of my comment wasn't to criticize the current science machine system. I just happen to understood how to make the mod works with alchemy engine, and since someone in the comments asked for it i released the istructions.

Actually i'd preffer to use the mod with science machine, but since the area of the flingomantics is limited i can't really find the space to build even the science machine so i opted to change with alchemy engine. Worse design, sure, but it is more practical :)

@Oliarco
Mostly I didn't want to make this mod incompatible with the equivalent exchange mod, which lets you use the alchemy machine to turn items into gold. Using these at the same time would make the game crash and there is no way to balance it.

If you want this mod to work with alchemy engine instead of science machine open the following file with any text editor: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\dont_starve\mods\workshop-742106665\modmain.lua

And replace the line 73.

Before:
AddPrefabPostInit("researchlab", recycleengine)

After:
AddPrefabPostInit("researchlab2", recycleengine)

Basically just add a "2" after researchlab. This will make the mod work with alchemy engine only.

I understand the modder idea to make it works only with science machine for leave a reason to the player to keep it, but i also understand that the point of modding is let the players enjoy the game as they want. So i'm pretty sure that leave here the istructions for makes this mod alchemy engine based shouldn't hurt nobody :)

You can put them into the science machine but it wouldn't give you gems or nightmare fuel.
I specifically included that feature as to not be unbalanced.

can you recycle staves ? cuz then the gems would be renewable

oh ok :/

I know it says that it says it is out of date, but it stil works fine.
i don't actually know why it says that.

the mod is outdated. care to fix that please?

I like that this gives a reason to keep the old science machine around

Add alchemy machine too

im really awful at art, but this doesn't seem too bad, it leaves a reason to keep the science machine after getting the alchemy engine. besides, wilsons quote for the science machine fits well.

maybe its better to add special table to do this work?
