Use Mutation Potions Strategically on Your Tamed Dinos

Each potion grants +4 mutation points to a specific stat (e.g. health, damage, weight, stamina, food, oxygen).
The potions also work with Tek variants and other versions of the same dino.

Features

Targeted mutations: potions per stat (+4 points per use)
Fair cooldown system (24 h):
- Blocks additional potions of the same type (no item loss)
- Prevents cryopod use and upload/travel during the timer
Misuse protection:
When cooldown is active, the potion is not consumed and a message is displayed.

Crafting Process & Stations

Everything starts in the Mystic Smithy.

Here’s what you can craft:

-Mystical Mortar – base powders & mixtures ⏱️ 1 hour per batch

-Mystical Distiller – essences/liquids ⏱️ 1 hour per batch

-Mystical Elixir Forge – final mutation potion ⏱️ 3 hours per potion

-DNA Extractor – feed it to a dino to obtain that dino’s DNA

⚠️ Warning: The dino will be deleted during extraction.
Be sure to remove saddle & skins beforehand!

Note:
The crafting times are intentionally long to keep mutations as a progressive endgame activity.

Liquid Metal (Fuel)

The Elixir Forge requires Liquid Metal as fuel.
You obtain Liquid Metal by extracting an artifact.
The amount received is enough to fuel exactly one potion.

How to Get Started

Place the Mystic Smithy and craft Mortar, Distiller, Elixir Forge & DNA Extractor from it.
Produce materials in Mortar & Distiller (1 h each).
Extract essence → obtain Liquid Metal (enough for 1 potion).
Fuel the Elixir Forge and brew a mutation potion (3 h).
Feed the potion to a tamed dino → +4 mutation points to the chosen stat, 24 h buff begins.
