Makers Pot
The Maker's Pot is where all cooking, brewing, poison and bomb crafting is done. Anyone is able to use the Makers Pot with a Cauldron, open fire, and a Quarter days time. When using the Makers Pot, roll CRAFT, success will result in creating the intended item, failing this roll will result in loss of materials and time.
Every Ingredient has 3 stats: Volatility, Toughness, and Arcane. When mixing ingredients in the Makers Pot these stats are added together to determine the resulting creation. This means there is often more than one way to create an item. There are hundreds of possible items to create and only dozens known to the moon of Kenshi. Experimentation may yield powerful or valuable results, but mix carelessly and a Brew with too high Volatility may explode, or too Tough and turn your Cauldron to stone. Discovered recipies will be displayed below.
