How to testing Compounds
Once you have made your compound, you can test it for high and low qualities by clicking on your avatar and then Skills/Lab Work. You must have Litmus Test: Blank Positive and Litmus Test: Blank Negative strips in your inventory. When you test, you will receive a message in main chat telling you the highest/lowest attribute, or that no attributes are present in high/low quantities. Please test all compounds you make versus the current requests. It has been confirmed that essential compounds are good forever, so you can plan to take a batch up at a time for testing.
This is the list of the possible properties of compounds:
- Aromatic (Ar)
- Astringent (As)
- Bitter (Bi)
- Salty (Sa)
- Sour (So)
- Spicy (Sp)
- Sweet (Sw)
- Toxic (To)
Underlying model
- Model Requirements
- If the compounds are a sum of their parts then the sum of all the attributes of an essence must be able to be either positive or negative. If the model does not have this ability then it is impossible to create compounds which have either a positive or negative attribute but none of the other.
- The model must have some way of explaining varrience in the magnitude of how positive or negative an attribute is. We know that attributes can range from atleast (++++) to (=) to (----).
- It has been demonstrated that it is impossible that each essence is an array of 8 values of +1, 0, or -1 which are summed to produce the attributes of the compound (contradiction). This could either mean that the qualities of essences have more possible values, or that the essences are combined in a more complicated fashion.
- It has been confirmed by Apophis that the attributes are integers.
