Complete Chemistry Bench reference for Abiotic Factor. Every recipe, input material, output, and the crafting chains that depend on each output.
The Problem
âI stare at the Chemistry Bench and have no idea which recipes are worth the materials. What does what?â
The Problem
I stare at the Chemistry Bench and have no idea which recipes are worth the materials. What does what?
The Solution
The Chemistry Bench is Abiotic Factor's advanced crafting station. Unlike the standard Crafting Bench, chemistry recipes require specific precursor materials and produce intermediates that feed into higher-value outputs. Here is every verified chemistry recipe with what it makes and what it is used for.
Core Chemistry Outputs
Enethiol
- Inputs: Sulfur + Ethanol
- Used for: Pentetic Acid Syringe (removes radiation), Nyxshade Seed crafting
- Priority: High. Never spend Enethiol on convenience crafts. Stockpile for Pentetic Acid Syringe production â each syringe removes -10 radiation and grants 50% resistance for 15 minutes.
- Farming route: Sulfur from Manufacturing mineral deposits. Ethanol from chemistry precursors.
Refined Solvent
- Inputs: Bleach + Clean Water
- Used for: Various advanced recipes
- Priority: Medium. Use the Water Filter Barrel (1:1 ratio) for clean water, not boiled water (4:1 loss). Plan bleach farming in Manufacturing industrial areas before production.
Bio-Gel
- Inputs: Organic materials + Acid catalyst
- Used for: Medical and biological recipes
- Priority: Medium. Acid risk â wear protection and craft near your Healing Briefcase. Do not attempt at low health.
Medical Chemistry
| Output | Inputs | Used For | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pentetic Acid Syringe | HCl + Enethiol + Salt + Metal Scrap | Radiation cure | Requires First Aid Level 4. Removes -10 rad, 50% resist 15min. |
| Gastro Medicine | Plastic Scrap + HCl + Honey | Cures Borborygmus | Upset stomach from bad food |
| Healing Syringe | Test Tube + Anteverse Wheat + Bio Scrap | HP regen boost | Standard healing craft |
Advanced Materials
| Output | Inputs | Used For |
|---|---|---|
| Nyxshade Seed | 10 Night Essence + 5 Leyak Essence + 1 Anteverse Wheat Seed + 1 Enethiol | Trade for GATE Security Keys (Warren Bunning) |
| Refined Carbon | Order gear breakdown | Carbon Battery, advanced crafting |
| Memory Brick | Various electronics | Carbon Battery component |
Power Stability for Chemistry
Chemistry Bench operations fail if the power branch fluctuates. Before starting any chemistry recipe:
- Verify the bench is on a dedicated battery branch (Industrial, 100 charge minimum)
- Turn off nonessential loads on the same circuit (fridges, chargers, Tesla Coils)
- A voltage dip during synthesis wastes all input materials and you start over
Catalyst Conservation
Catalysts â Enethiol, Refined Solvent, Bio-Gel â are not consumables. They are strategic reserves:
- Check all recipes that require a catalyst before spending it
- Return unused catalysts to labeled storage after each session
- Stockpile during downtime (portal reset waits, crop growth)
