Revelation Solvent
DO NOT LET WATER GO DRY IN VOLUME OR YOU WILL LOSE YOUR SOLUTION!!!
Use
Revelation Solvents are used in a Greenhouse to determine the genome of a plant (flax, vine, flower, vegetable). By putting a seed, vine cutting, or flower bulb of the same type and strain on the left and right splints in the greenhouse and applying the revelation solvent, a series of names of colors are obtained. Each color listed corresponds to one gene (which we abbreviate to a single letter), and the number of colors given at once (the Gene String Yield) depend on the solvent used. The set of colors are sequential and represent a fragment of the total genome. By obtaining many such fragments that each overlap another to sufficient degree, the complete genome can be determined.
Materials Required
- 10-20 Water in Jugs (to raise Volume)
- 20-30 Charcoal (to raise temperature)
- 20-30 Cactus Sap (to raise acidity)
- N mushrooms (see charts below)
- 30-40 Cabbage Juice (to test acidity)
Made in a Toxin Kitchen
Basic Solvents (Single Mushroom)
| Solvent Name | Mushroom | Single Shroom Addition Quantity | Total Shrooms Used | Solvent Quantity | Gene String Yield |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Milky | Sand Spore | 1 | 3 | 7 | 3 |
| Clear | Slaves Bread | 1 | 3 | 3 | 4 |
| Glass | Razor's Edge | 1 | 3 | 1 | 5 |
| Crystal | Peasant Foot | 2 | 6 | 1 | 6 |
Procedure
- Step 1: Add 5-20 Water in Jugs as desired for safety margin
- Step 2: Add 3-4 Cactus Sap to raise Acidity between 3.0 and 3.4
- Step 3: Add 1 Cabbage Juice to check acidity. Acidity below 3.0, add Cactus Sap and recheck with Cabbage Juice. Acidity above 3.4, wait to let acidity drop and recheck with Cabbage Juice. Acidity between 3.0 and 3.4 or a little higher...go to Step 4 (by the time you add charcoal, acidity will have dropped to target).
- Step 4: Add charcoal until Temperature is between 360 and 400 degrees
NOTE: This is the critical window...more difficult to hit than with Nut's Essence. You may have to cycle through several times of raising the temp (Step 4) if it lowers below 360, then raise acidity (Step 3) as soon as the temp is within its window and try adding your mushroom several times while checking acidity.
- Step 5: Add mushroom to go to Stage 2 ( You've got it made now! )
- Step 6: Check Acidity for 1.2 to 1.5 or let temperature drop down to 150-175 degrees and start trying Step 7
- Step 7: Add mushroom to go to Stage 3
- Step 8: Add charcoal to boost Temperature up to 650-800 degrees
- Step 9: Add mushroom to go to Stage 4
- Step 10: Let Precipitation go to 1.00. Refresh menu and click Take the Revelation Solvent. Refresh menu to go to original menu.
Escape Route: To back out of a recipe when you do not have enough mushrooms, make sure to raise temperature to evaporate the solution. When Volume equals zero you get a message and can return to the solvent/nut's essence options again.

The more advanced solvents, available at higher Fungiculture skill levels, require different types of mushrooms at each phase to create. These recipes all yield one solvent. The procedure to make them is very similar to the procedure described above for basic solvents, but with different Temperature and Acidity ranges for each solvent, and some stages for some solvents require both Temperature and Acidity to be in specified ranges.
Pay close attention to the values each solvent needs! Renenutet's, the solvent with the longest sequencing capability, was re-worked in Tale 9 to be considerably easier to make (Thanks again, Malard!). The other advanced solvents have not been similarly adjusted, and drastically harder to make as the Acidity and/or Temperatures required for each step are much smaller than the jump given by each addition of Cactus Sap or Charcoal. Even depending on a macro, pre-adjustment Renenutet's would take 10-30 minutes to produce, and the values of the other advanced solvents appear not much nicer.
The Temperature and Acidity increases and decreases with each addition (or not) of charcoal and sap are somewhat random and for some stages larger than the window for adding the mushrooms. For these stages you just have to keep trying to maintain values as close as possible until they both drop semi-randomly into required ranges at the same time, while at the same time keeping Volume from ever going to 0.
