Dissolution Chamber

The Dissolution Chamber allows you to dissolve away the materia of a substance into Alkahest, leaving the essentia in solution. With the basic version, only half of the essentia is recovered.

To use, fill the chamber using with buckets of Alkahest, and then place the substance to be dissolved in the left slot. The essentia needs to be transferred out using an Essentia Vessel.

Hoppers can insert items to be dissolved into the top of the block, and pull any containers left over from the bottom. Alkahest can be automatically added using a dispenser with an alkahest bucket. Essentia can be automatically removed using an essentia vessel in a dispenser.

With default recipes, the Dissolution Chamber can be upgraded using a Philosopher's Stone. In addition to improving the speed and tank size, this allows you to recover the full amount of essentia within an item.
