Alchemy Redone

What It Is: Alchemy Redone provides an alternate potion crafting system without replacing vanilla alchemy. Use one, use the other, use both, with no conflicts!

* Portable crafting stations! Alchemy Redone adds three new crafting stations which you can carry with you. The Crucible turns raw materials into poison reagents, the Alembic turns raw materials into beneficial reagents, and the Retort turns reagents into concentrated potions. You can buy these tools at alchemy stores, or craft them at the forge.

* New potions! Alchemy Redone adds new, powerful potions and poisons. Higher alchemy skill unlocks new formulas. These new potions are more concentrated than the vanilla potions, but also require more raw materials and more work at the laboratory bench. Use your time and resources wisely.

* Non-replacer! Use the vanilla Skyrim potion system at will, including portable alchemy kits from other mods!

* Convenient! Distill raw ingredients into light, portable, multi-use reagents! Alchemy Redone's super-concentrated potions and salves are a fraction of the weight of vanilla potions, and since they're new items, they're fully compatible with anything that alters vanilla potions.

* Full vanilla functionality! If your perk tree includes Concentrated Poison or Green Thumb, you'll still have those benefits with Alchemy Redone.

* Safe and stable! Scripts run just when you activate the Alchemy Redone apparatuses, then end. Scrubbed squeaky clean with TES5Edit 3.0.31!

* Compatible with mods that change the vanilla alchemy system! Completely separate intermediates and potions ensure that you can use your favorite overhaul alongside Alchemy Redone.


Compatibility:

Fully compatible with SkyRe.
http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/9286
Fully compatible with Requiem. (thanks, ThPassenger!)
http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/19281
Fully compatible with Radiant and Unique Potions and Poisons HD
http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/18799

Compatible with SPERG - Skyrim Perks Enhancement And Balanced Gameplay with the optional Alchemy Redone Perk Tomes add-on. (thanks, AgunsTheMagi!)
http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/24445

Theoretically compatible with ERSO, Skyrim Unleashed, Phitt's Alchemy Overhaul, and any other mod that keeps the vanilla perks Alchemist/Poisoner/Physician/Benefactor/Purity. It's okay if they're renamed or changed, as long as the ids are the same. If you use these mods, please let me know how Alchemy Redone works for you, so I can update the compatibility information!

Some mods remove access to vanilla perks. For instance, SPERG makes the vanilla perk Benefactor inaccessible from the perk tree. Alchemy Redone Perk Tomes allows you to get the vanilla alchemy perks needed for Alchemy Redone by finding perk tomes in loot.


Open season on bugs!
Have you found a bug? Let me know in the comments! To help me fix problems quickly, please give as close to the exact name of the problematic potion as you can.

Balance problems? Are certain concoctions too powerful/not powerful enough? Are formulas too easy to make/too hard? Let me know! When you make balancing suggestions, please also report if you use mods that make the game easier or more difficult.

Compatibility problems? If you encounter problems, please report them in the comments so I can update the compatibility list for our fellow players.


Load order:
AlchemyRedone.esp should be loaded with the "Alchemy" group in BOSS.

TES5Edit:
Alchemy Redone and Alchemy Redone Perk Tomes were cleaned by TES5Edit Version 3.0.29

Change Log:

V 3.0: Various name changes and fixes. New formulas. Added the ability to craft potions otherwise available only to the thieves' guild questline. Removed craftable scales, as they were difficult to place. Removed ability to make apparatuses into static workstations.
v 2.0: Added recipes for synthetic Fire, Frost, and Void salts, available with the Experimenter 1, 2, and 3 perks, respectively. Changed the names for Umbra, Carry Weight, Hush, and Frostbite to avoid name redundancy which can be confusing with the Favorites menu.
v 1.9: Added two new formulas, Umbra and variously named leveled Carry Weight potions. Added an immersive tutorial book and a box of alchemy tools in Fort Kastav Captain's Quarters. Various adjustments to reagent formulas, so intermediaries are available neither too early nor too late to make formulas as they're unlocked. Every intermediary should have at least one common ingredient which can be processed without perks. Added craftable clutter items. Fixed magicka regen on Magician's Unguent.
v 1.8: Made it possible to use Alchemy Redone apparatus outside your inventory. Drop the tool, then go into sneak mode to turn it into a static crafting station. When you're done crafting, go into sneak mode again to move it back to your inventory. Added a new, craftable mortar and pestle for vanilla alchemy which uses the same script, for completeness' sake.
v 1.7: Added new elemental and magic resistance potions Flameward, Frostward, Shockward, Spellward. General rebalancing, making some reagents easier to access. Fixed some formulas which were assigned to the wrong crafting stations. Fixed the Flask being crafted using an Alembic kit.
v 1.6 : Moved poison formulas to the new Scholar's Flask object to unclutter the crafting menu. Added new Druid's Unguent which pacifies nearby animals for a time. Added more versions of some poisons to be available at lower alchemy skill. Made Calamine easier to craft.
v 1.5 : Tweaked Alchemy Redone reagents so they can be used at the vanilla alchemy bench, too. Tweaked tool recipes to use malachite ingots instead of ore (thanks for the feedback, Nofumasa!)
v 1.41 : Removed tools from blacksmiths and added tool crafting kits at Alchemists'. Because it was bugging me that you couldn't buy glassware at an alchemy shop.
V 1.4 : Added a new set of alchemy tools which can be favorite'd (thanks, HoleyGrail!). Added new formulas for Healing Poultices, which give a 1 unit/second health regeneration for 10 minutes, plus a leveled Fortify Health effect. Added a recipe for Charcoal in the Crucible, for convenience.
v 1.31 : Added a dummy effect to Spiritus Vini to avoid a CTD when tasting the ingredient (Thanks, LittleFighter!). Alchemy vendors weren't carrying AlchemyRedone tools in their inventory; thanks MattBison for reporting this! I changed the method of adding tools to vendors; instead of relying on keywords, the tools now have their own leveled list which is added to apothecaries. This shouldn't interfere with other mods which add items to vendor chests, but if you do run into problems, please let me know!
v 1.3 : Added new potion formulas Holy Water (six strengths) and Hermetic Circle (three strengths, available starting at a medium Alchemy skill). Thanks, ThPassenger, for the idea and feedback!
v 1.21 : Split Sal Sapientie into two potions, because the visual effect with SkyRe was giving me a headache. Changed Doom-Drum from an acute to a chronic effect.
v 1.2 : Added new potion formulas Burning Heart, Thunder Heart, Frozen Heart, Burning Blood, Frostbite, Thunderstruck, Bezoar, Ethereal. Added two epic-level formula, Aqua Benedicta, Aqua Maleficarum, and the apparatuses and notes required to make them.
v 1.1 : Fixed duplicates in Soldier's Liniment and Sorcerer's Unguent.
V 1.0 : Initial Release
