Pharmacy

The Pharmacy is a production building used to craft Medicine, Regen Potion, Bat Potion, and Black Powder. It turns a small set of raw materials into medical supplies and combat materials, making it one of the key utility workshops for maintaining your settlement’s health and preparing advanced consumables.

Its recipes are straightforward but varied: 2 Bat Juice produce 3 Bat Potion; 2 Grass, 2 Petals, and 1 Charcoal produce 2 Medicine; 1 Cactus Flower produces 2 Medicine; 1 Fabric and 1 Myrrh produce 2 Medicine; 2 Nocslin and 2 Water produce 3 Regen Potion; 1 Frog, 1 Mushroom, and 3 Water produce 3 Regen Potion; and 1 Niter, 1 Sulfur, and 1 Charcoal produce 2 Black Powder. Because it covers several different product lines, a single Pharmacy can handle basic medicine production well, but it becomes a bottleneck if you want to run potion production at the same time.

• One Pharmacy is more than enough if you are only making Medicine.
• If you also want to produce potions, add about two more Pharmacies for each potion line to avoid slowing down supply.
• Regen Potion is especially inefficient to produce, so it is worth limiting who can use it. Restricting access through the Code Stone can help prevent low-income citizens from consuming it unnecessarily.
• Soldiers can have their consumption controlled by adjusting their wealth so they remain in the middle class, which helps keep stronger medicines and potions from being wasted.
• Medicine is best made from Cactus Flower when possible, so importing Cactus Flower is recommended if you can support the trade.
• The building also supports Black Powder production, so it can contribute to both medical and industrial supply chains depending on your needs.
