Paint

Paint is an alchemy result with two green runes. Any ingredients whose runes add up to exactly that make it at the Laboratory I, and the simplest pair is 2 Water. One Flour or one Onion also works on its own, and so do two Sticks, two Leaves or two Berries. As with all alchemy, each ingredient has to be studied first.

In the demo nothing uses it. What you get from making it is 2 green tech points per flask and progress toward the Alchemist inspiration.

Notes

  • It costs no extra Science if you have already studied Water, which is one of the cheapest things to study (1 Science).
  • In the full game it goes into Printed Money at the Printing Press and into Church Shrine III, and the town Alchemist sells it.
  • Studying Paint itself costs 5 Science and gives 30 red and 10 blue.
