I made the first version of this visual guide back in April of 2023. I figured it wouldn't need to be updated... well, ever... but then mods overhauled Baldwin's system in July 2023. (Great timing, guys.) Since then, some lovely people have expressed interest in this, so I figured I'd fix it! Here's an updated version, along with a changelog. I realized landscape orientation is awful for mobile (or, indeed, any device), so I've created a portrait orientation version with some additional bells and whistles. NOTE: These are larger images, so they might take a moment to load. Slower devices may struggle a little with them.

As always, please let me know if you spot any errors. [center]----- ----- [b]Original Post[/b] -----[/center] Hey, folks. I am remarkably tired today, and my single braincell couldn't figure out how various transmutation materials brewed at Baldwin's worked together (what are Glass Beakers used for, again? and when do you use those versus Reinforced Beakers?). I figured I'd make a rough visual guide for myself, since I don't have the capacity to do anything else productive today. Then I found a new fun toy to make mindmaps with (Excalidraw, for the curious), and it got... a little out of hand. So I figured I might as well put it up for other tired people whose minds prefer visual maps to text. It's a bit low-effort, but, well, a lonely braincell can only do so much. It is a rather large image (for forums, anyway) at 3 megabits, so please keep that in mind. (There is a nearly 10 megabit version. I figured nobody needed that level of detail.) Here you are: [img]https://images2.imgbox.com/dd/33/FGjq7O8B_o.png[/img] Please let me know if you notice any errors!

This is beautifully made and very helpful! I'm trying to write a Baldwin's guide right now - would you mind if I linked to this post in it?

@wren16

Aww, thanks! Go for it, I'd love to see it used elsewhere. I know there's been some updates since I initially published this one, though, so I think a couple numbers are off (I know for sure three Glass Beakers are produced by the recipe now instead of two). I honestly forgot about this so I haven't updated it yet. Might look into doing that now though :) I'll edit the post if I do.

Good luck with your guide! I'd love a ping when you're done with it.

@wren16

Hello! I thought I'd let you know I updated the guide and put together a portrait orientation version. Hopefully that helps! :)

@Rowanhart Wow! Thats great!

Still working on the guide (the Google doc is 9 pages long...) but I'm getting there! I'll ping you when it's up

@Transmutation Materials Visual Guide: UPDATES

Updated for the May 6th adjustments!

I'd be annoyed that it's happened less than two months after my last update, but the total time for Imbued Sulfur plus all its brewed ingredients went from 11 hours and 10 minutes to 7 hours and 20 minutes, so... can't complain too much. (also yippee, two less purple sludge to deal with)
