Bug report and something else

[Wade]

I use only the alchemy lab to produce potion. Everyone of 12 kinds of potion in my recipe gets one specified lab.

I set the storage target of Potion of Slow to 2, but eventually there are 13 on the pallet. Same thing also happened on Potion of Summoning Strength Potion, Potion of Silence and Warding Potion. The storage is full of unsold potions while there is a shortage of other kinds of potions. I have tried reloading the save and restarting the game, but nothing helped.



Some thoughts:

A production line without alchemy lab needs several equipment to build and I have to adjust the number of equipment after I change the recipe of potion since some of them are more commonly used than the rest. But after I spent 2 hours on rebuilding such a production line, I found that placing just 12 alchemy labs and no other production equipment is far more efficient than my last strategy, which is a little bit strange. Perhaps in future version there are benefits we can get from multiple different equipment?

Anyway thank you for bring this great game, I had a great time during the last 20 hours play :)

I'm not too surprised that the alchemy lab managed to do that, actually: The cost of alchemists can be paid pretty easily if the potions sell, so if you got several to help speed it up that certainly helps. Actually having a spare room or two upstairs is more plausible than in the basement.

Yes, it's just... smaller space with less kind of staff and equipment provides much higher efficiency? It seems that every new equipment from research after the alchemy lab is a little bit pointless since building them would significantly lower the efficiency.
I haven't thought about this so I hadn't built any alchemy lab before the production line was too inefficient to guarantee the supply of potions.
But I am not sure whether this is because there are some features I haven't found in the game.
