Is it possible to "farm" Alchemical Precursor?

[Newt226]

So today I made Draught of Midas completely on accident, which led me to look it up and find out about Alchemical Precursor. Is it possible to do something like carry several liquids around in one bottle to increase your chances of creating it, or does the game have checks in place to prevent that?

The game doesn't do anything special to stop big messes of different liquids from alchemizing. There's lots of other reasons why finding precursor or lively concoction naturally on a random seed is pretty unlikely.

Nothing will react inside of a flask, though.

No checks in place. It's just rare. Plus, it burns up real quick. About 400 hours and I've still never seen Precursor without cheating.

Going on a good ol' shroom trip & praying to the RNG gods is your best bet. Even then, the odds aren't great.

Aside from that, you can actually set up shop in the fungal caverns and try combining everything you can get your hands on - mad scientist style. Much of the time, though, Precursor requires an oddball ingredient like cheese, diamond, sima, etc. that isn't easily obtained/mixed.
