Recipes are the foundation of production in Alchemy Factory. They define how raw materials, components, and special items are transformed into usable products through different machines and devices.
Instead of focusing on isolated items, recipes explain the relationships between inputs, devices, and outputs, helping players plan efficient production chains and scalable factories.
This section organizes recipes by category, making it easier to understand how different crafting systems work together.
How Recipes Work
Every recipe in Alchemy Factory follows the same basic structure:
- Inputs – Resources or items required to start the process
- Device – The machine used to process the recipe
- Outputs – The resulting product used for crafting, automation, or selling
Understanding recipes is essential for:
- Building stable production lines
- Reducing resource waste
- Preparing for automation and scaling

Fuel Recipes
Fuel recipes convert raw materials into burnable or energy-related items used to power machines and production systems.
Fuel is often required early and remains important throughout the game.
Solid Recipes
Solid recipes transform raw materials into processed solids such as planks, bricks, ingots, and construction components.
These recipes form the backbone of most early and mid-game production chains.
Component Recipes
Component recipes produce intermediate items that are not used directly but are required by many other recipes.
Efficient component production is key to automation.
Liquid & Potion Recipes
These recipes combine liquids, herbs, and special materials to create potions and magical outputs.
Potion recipes often involve more complex inputs and devices.
Misc & Special Recipes
Miscellaneous recipes include unique, magical, or specialized transformations that do not fit neatly into other categories.
