First of all, what are item tags?

Some items in the game have modifiers called tags that can change your weapons and armor properties through alchemy. Some useful, some less so. Some tags also have a grist type attached to it, so you may need a specific grist to alchemitize a tagged object. It is a good indicator that whatever your making does indeed have the tag you wanted.

A few tags are not completely implemented, meaning they do not have any effects yet. However, the tags may still be needed to create specific items, so they are not completely useless. These will be marked in the guide as "recipe only."

This guide will aim to explain what each of these tags do, and what base objects have these tags for your alchemy experimentation. At the end I'll try to explain alchemy in as plain as terms as possible and as well how to get the item you're going for.

N/A means it does nothing, or there's no account for what it does in that category. That said if someone wants to test out an N/A, say, explosive clothing, let me know what happens. The items list is non-comprehensive; not all applicable items are listed.



(*) An item with a Consumable tag, a Rocket tag, and a Lifey tag will provide a speed boost and heal you for a short time. An item with Consumable and Radioactive will deal damage to you. Consumable on it's own seems to have no effect.

~~~
Combo Tags - With the update, it felt important to note some tags are more combo focused than before. As in, you wont find a good base object with the tag on it. Instead two tags combine a create the new tag. To piece out how to get a combo tag, look at the grist types. Combine two tags that have the same grists as the combo tag on an item, and you should get the tag. IE: Piercing + Electronic should give Lightning.
Any notes about this are welcome.

Some items in the game are given an alias. What this does is act as a grouping mechanism for the sake of crafting. In recipes, instead of a specific item, an alias can be put in as a component, and anything within that alias will work for that recipe.

I will list every current alias below and what currently falls into them. They are spelt the same way they are spelt in the toolchain, capitalization and all. Anything duplicated is condensed to one item. Example: Frog1, Frog2, Frog3, ect.. ==> Frog

There are a *ton* of recipes within the game, and too many to completely list. There are unique preset recipes, and the rest are procedurally made. I’ll try to list some of the recipes that create canon items within the comic. Do let me know if any of these are incorrect.

Many of these are taken from the Toolchain, a program you can find in the game's discord that helps modders create items, but will also list available recipes. Just note the game won't work properly if you have it open while you play.

Items

It can be a little hard to understand what is going on right of the bat, and some explanations given are on the basis that you remember every mechanic from the comic. I'll try my best to explain this process in simpler terms to help those struggling to grasp it (like I was).

The process can be put into two categories, || and &&. For the sake of clarity, I will refer to || as the One Card Method and && as the Two Card Method.

To begin with, it does not matter what item you decide to punch your things onto, or the item you place in the left slot in the Punch Designix. For this reason I would advise to grab some generic objects from your printer, that's next to your computer, as your punch victim. This will save you from losing potentially useful things such as your main weapon, your clothes, or items that have tags you wish to pass on. Once something is punched it cannot be removed from the card ever again.


One Card Method or ||

This is fairly straightforward, you place your punch item in the left slot, then you place one of the two things you'd like to mix on the right. Once you punch it, remove the right hand item from the machine. Next, you'll want to place the other item, whatever you'd want to mix with what you had just removed, and repeat the process. You will now have a double punched card. To finish up take your double punched card and Cruxite to the Totem Lathe to see a silhouette of what you made. If you're happy with what you see, go ahead and alchemitize it. If you would rather have the other object as the base, use the same ingredients in the Two Card Method.


Two Card Method or &&

This follows a similar process to the previous method, but with a twist. You'll have two punch victims this time. Punch your first item in card one, take them out of the Punch Designix and punch your next item in a separate card. Take those two cards to your Totem Lathe and voila, you made a new thing. Make sure to check the silhouette. Use the other method if you want the other object as the base.

The exception to this alternate base strategy is when the recipe is a pre-existing one, creating a set item, and not procedurally generated one.

A Few Things of Note

One Card Method or || has a better chance of transferring tags onto items. If your initial combination results in a non weapon or clothing kind and you really want the tags, I would recommend making that item anyway, and then combining that new item with your weapon or clothes. So far that has worked for me.

Two Card Method or && may increase the base stats at a higher rate, at the cost of not always getting the tags, but it needs more testing before I can say for sure. The tags that do transfer have to be on both items.

You can make alchemy even more complicated by using a card that you double punched in a Two Card Method. I have no idea what happens, especially if you try to mix in a third object in there, so go ham and start creating chaos.

引用自 blankMushroom：

a bit of an addendum, the appearance of the resulting item isn't always random, in case the components have different amounts of tags on them, the result of an || combination will share the appearance and itemkind of the component with less tags of the two, while an && combination will produce an item with the appearance of the component with more tags. (so, if you combine a burning pogo hammer || an ice cube, you will get a burning cold bouncy ice cube, but && combining them will result in a pogo hammer, without the bouncy tag, but with increased stats). this, of course doesn't apply when combining the items results in a recipe. And another thing: if you have specific tags on your component items, sometimes the result of the combination will have a combination tag of the two, those are the ones that require more than one grist type. (for example, if your component items have poison and lighty tags respectively, the result will have the radioactive tag)
