    Alchemy Factory May Update Preview: Recipe Rebalance and Conveyor Belt Refactor

    Hi everyone, D5 Copperhead here. Over the past few weeks, besides the recipe rebalance mentioned earlier, We've also carried out a major refactor of the underlying conveyor belt system, which is also why this month's update has been a bit delayed. I'd like to briefly share some details about these changes.Recipe Rebalance:In previous versions, advanced athanors had very low usage rates. To address this, we completely reworked all recipes for this device and introduced a new catalyst system. Players can now add different catalysts into advanced athanors to modify recipe results. This allows us to reduce the difficulty of basic recipes while giving players more options.Cauldrons:Cauldron recipes are generated procedurally, so some existing recipes may be affected after the rebalance. This mainly impacts certain reworked late-game recipes, such as Stardust. Early-game cauldron recipes li...
