Lab Burner

The Lab Burner is an in-game item that functions as a dedicated device for heating chemical substances. It exists to enable temperature-dependent steps in crafting and manufacturing workflows: when a recipe requires heated reagents or a heating step, the Lab Burner is the instrument used to perform that operation.

In practical terms the Lab Burner is placed or used where crafting involving chemical processing takes place. Its role is strictly to apply heat to chemical items so they reach whatever state or temperature a given recipe requires; any crafting or manufacturing task that lists heating or hot reagents will reference the Lab Burner as the appropriate tool.

• Use the Lab Burner when a recipe or crafting schematic explicitly requires heated chemicals or a heating step.
• It interacts with chemical reagents rather than being a universal heater for all item types; only recipes involving chemical heating list it as necessary.
• Treat it as a specialized crafting tool: acquiring or positioning a Lab Burner is part of preparing for multi-step chemical manufacturing.

The Lab Burner does not alter non-chemical items and is not described as providing other utilities beyond heating chemicals for crafting purposes.
