How to use alchemy? I've read the books and I've seen the formula for some hair colors, but where can I get the ingredients? And is hair color all you can change? How can I unlock further options?
Version A48
I think currently hair color is the only thing you can change via recipes. You can buy seeds from the farmer's market (On south main in the parking lot. This is new as of A48.) Which is open:
March through November. Every Weekend. 6am to 5pm.
You can then plant them in the greenhouse and once you harvest the plant you can make the hair dye. (No content currently seems to be associated with this, but you can call the subjects to the lab and apply the dye.)
The only thing alchemy stat seems to affect thus far is:
-The Bubbles' Smile event chain. (Making a potion to fix Bubbles' smile requires greater than or equal to 50 alchemy.)
-Mully's Penis Growth TF. (Need greater than or equal to 50 alchemy.)
-There is one line in Eve's fortune-telling prediction where she will make a comment about your alchemy skill if it is greater than or equal to 25.
-Self-breast enhancement scene 1. (Triggers only if alchemy skill is greater than or equal to 1, or alchemy is less than or equal to 25.)
-Rey First Transformation research. (Triggers with an alchemy skill of greater than or equal to 100.)
-Misaki Futa (Triggers with alchemy greater than or equal to 50.)
-Mitsuko Futa (Triggers with greater than or equal to 75 alchemy skill.)
-Eve Yami Interactive Scene 1. (You make aphrodisiac and it gets spilled on Yami on accident and makes her horny.)(Triggers with greater than or equal to 45 alchemy.)
Some of these scenes have further requirements (such as time of day) but in terms of the alchemy stat, this is the complete breakdown.
