Upgrades

The station has two upgrade slots on the right of its screen: the top one takes speed upgrades, the one below it amount upgrades. Each slot takes a stack of one kind of upgrade, so you can't mix tiers in the same slot.

All upgrades start from an Upgrade Base.

Speed upgrades

Speed upgrades make every brew shorter. Each item in the stack multiplies the speed again, so they add up quickly: two Speed Upgrade 1s give ×1.25 × 1.25 = ×1.5625. Only the first 5 items in the stack count by default.

Upgrade	Per item	1 installed	5 installed
Speed Upgrade 1	×1.25 speed	16 s per brew	6.55 s per brew (×3.05)
Speed Upgrade 2	×1.5 speed	13.3 s per brew	2.6 s per brew (×7.59)
Speed Upgrade 3	×1.75 speed	11.4 s per brew	1.2 s per brew (×16.41)

Each tier is crafted from the one before it.

Amount upgrades

Amount upgrades make every brew bigger. The station takes that many more potions from the potion slot and brews that many more, still from one ingredient, and the fuel lasts the same 20 brews. Only 1 amount upgrade counts by default, so pick the best one you can make.

Upgrade	Per item	1 installed
Amount Upgrade 1	+1 potion	4 potions per brew
Amount Upgrade 2	+2 potions	5 potions per brew

WARNING

A brew can't be bigger than a potion stack, because the potion and output slots each hold one stack. With the default stack size of 16 this never comes up, but a server that lowers potionStackSize or allows more amount upgrades can end up with a station that never starts.

How the numbers work

• Time per brew is processingTime ÷ speed multiplier, rounded down to whole ticks. processingTime is 400 ticks (20 seconds) by default.
• Speed multiplier is the upgrade's multiplier to the power of how many count: Speed Upgrade 3 × 5 is 1.75⁵ ≈ ×16.4, so a brew takes 24 ticks.
• Potions per brew is potionCount (3 by default) plus the amount upgrade's bonus for each one that counts.
• A blaze powder always lasts 20 brews, so amount upgrades also stretch your fuel. Speed upgrades don't change how much fuel a potion costs.
