Talk:Bottle (crafting station)

Merge Alchemy Station with Bottle
Now that the guide tells you what you need to craft things, I noticed that he refers to the Alchemy Station as "Bottle". This conflicts with the page which seems to imply that it's not the bottle but the combination of bottle and workbench/table/platform that constitutes a new piece of furniture called an Alchemy Station. Moving the content here to Bottle under a section called Alchemy Station/Crafting Potions/As Furniture would make more sense given the info the guide gives in-game. -- RestfulMonad 00:12, 30 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Why in the world would we want to do that? A bottle is an item that is used for many different purposes, and the Alchemy Station is a crafting station. No. -- Wynthyst [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png ]] talk  02:48, 30 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Because according to the game there's no such thing as an "Alchemy Station". There's just a bottle. -- RestfulMonad 03:06, 30 June 2011 (UTC)
 * However, it requires the bottle to be placed on a table or workbench for it to be a crafting station. That information is reflected in this article. Also, the Alchemy Station is an already established term, and it is linked on a fairly large number of pages. I don't believe the merge to Bottle is appropriate at all. -- Wynthyst [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png ]] talk  03:39, 30 June 2011 (UTC)
 * The bottle is simply required to be placed, and doesn't actually become one unit with a table or workbench it's placed on. This can be seen in your list of craftable recipes, as you must be within 4 blocks range of the bottle, not the table/bench it's on, to get access to alchemy recipes. Were an "alchemy station" actually a thing, then you would only need to be within 4 blocks range of the table/bench. So, in its purest state, for alchemy crafting, a bottle would be on a 1 block wide wooden platform. Were a bottle placeable on the ground, it would still function for alchemy crafting. Ultimately, the concept of an "alchemy station" (especially the image) is misleading people into thinking the table/bench is required, even though they each have other crafting purposes, and only a wooden ledge is necessary. 173.55.65.29 17:19, 21 July 2011 (UTC)

Well it seems that whole problem is sorted out, now that a Pink Vase or Mug will also work as an Alchemy Station, it seems it'll have to stay the way it is.--TheFinalBiscuit 18:18, 14 August 2011 (UTC)

Buff potions
Why does this page not list any of the buff potions in its recipes section? --66.92.49.239 16:43, 1 July 2011 (UTC)

Graphical Update
The Table and Work Bench each have new graphics; therefore, the alchemy station needs an update as well. -- TechpriestMagos 01:20, 12 August 2011 (UTC)

Another thought: The Wooden Table and Work Bench are largely unimportant as far as crafting is concerned. In fact, it would be as true to say a Work Bench crafting station requires solid blocks or Wooden Platforms to place it on. The important parts are the Bottle, Mug, or Pink Vase. As such, I suggest they be used for the image, each set on a Wooden Platform, for simplicity's sake, as this would be more relevant. -- TechpriestMagos 23:02, 19 December 2011 (UTC)

Return of the Rename
Given the planned addition of the Alchemy Table, and considering that the name Alchemy Station isn't anywhere in the game code and doesn't appear to be widely used on the forums as a term for table+cup, is it worth considering renaming this page? Maybe something like Mixing Station would be more appropriate. Gearzein (talk) 08:45, 18 April 2015 (UTC)
