Abiotic Factor Distillations: Inputs, Yields & Batch Planning
Look up 32 selected Abiotic Factor distillation inputs across 16 output types, compare yields and calculate raw-material needs before mixing.
Distillation inputs and yields
In this table: 32 selected raw-material inputs across 16 output types, including Noxious Sludge. Each row consumes one named input item. The yield is measured in doses, not occupied inventory slots.
Table tip: On narrow screens, swipe sideways within the table to see all columns.
| Reagent / output | Input item | Input quantity | Dose yield | Before spending it |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Alien | Raw Pest | 1 | 1 | Keep food needs separate |
| Alien | Raw Exor Heart | 1 | 5 | Higher yield does not prove easier acquisition |
| Boiling | Anteverse Gel | 1 | 3 | Reserve your Labs Antethermite supply |
| Boiling | Royal Pepper | 1 | 4 | Not interchangeable with Corrupted Pepper |
| Brainy | Human Brain | 1 | 4 | One input supplies four doses |
| Brainy | Sniper Skull | 1 | 4 | Do not confuse with other skull types |
| Charged | Liquid Crystal | 1 | 3 | Also used in Labs components |
| Charged | Kizz Cola | 1 | 3 | Other soda names have different outputs |
| Endothermic | Snow Peccary Skull | 1 | 2 | Requires this specific skull |
| Endothermic | Frozen Essence | 1 | 12 | Output yield is not a mixing-flask capacity |
| Expanding | Tarasque Ichor | 1 | 12 | Do not infer a farming rate |
| Expanding | Glow Eye | 1 | 2 | Check the exact item name |
| Fizzy | Sugar Crystal | 1 | 8 | Reserve if needed for another recipe |
| Fizzy | Pop Snarkle | 1 | 2 | This row is specific to Pop Snarkle |
| Fleshy | Greyeb | 1 | 2 | Separate produce from its seed |
| Fleshy | Lodestone Fragment | 1 | 6 | Keep fragments needed for progression |
| Foggy | Organ | 1 | 12 | Not the same yield as Partial Organ |
| Foggy | Partial Organ | 1 | 3 | Four inputs match one Organ’s dose yield |
| Mycological | Carbuncle Mushroom | 1 | 4 | First-mushroom sources |
| Mycological | Mushroom Peccary Skull | 1 | 8 | Reserve a skull if building a farm |
| Noxious Sludge | Glass Scrap | 1 | 1 | Not a substitute for useful recipe reagents |
| Noxious Sludge | Tech Scrap | 1 | 1 | Can spoil a desired concoction |
| Occult | Shadowberries | 1 | 2 | Use the named item |
| Occult | Arcane Scrap | 1 | 2 | Not ordinary Tech Scrap |
| Unnerving | Hexwood | 1 | 2 | Reserve farm construction wood |
| Unnerving | Night Essence | 1 | 12 | Reserve Canaan portal requirements |
| Unstable | Plutonic Carapace | 1 | 2 | Ordinary Carapace is a different input |
| Unstable | Plutonic Blood | 1 | 4 | Reagent, not an Unstable Flask |
| Vigorous | Bio Scrap | 1 | 1 | Convenient if already surplus |
| Vigorous | Egg | 1 | 3 | Also usable for food |
| Void | Anteverse Gem | 1 | 3 | Keep your Labs component budget |
| Void | Powdered Crystal | 1 | 4 | Different input, different yield |
Use the exact named raw material in each row and check the collected output before mixing. A higher yield per item does not necessarily mean a faster material-gathering route.
How many inputs do you need for a target batch?
Calculate missing doses = recipe requirement − doses already stored, stopping at zero. Divide by the selected input’s yield and round up to a whole input item.
For example, if you need 10 Mycological doses and already have 2, the deficit is 8: process two Carbuncle Mushrooms at four doses each, or one spare Mushroom Peccary Skull at eight. Do not consume a skull reserved for your farm just because it yields more per item.
Only the missing stock matters. If you need five doses and an input gives four, two input items produce eight, leaving three doses for later; it does not change the target mixture.
Turn raw inputs into a finished item
- Use the Distillation Bench instructions to process raw items and collect their output.
- Check the reagent name and dose count, not just its icon.
- Choose a purpose in the chemistry overview.
- Follow the Chemistry Bench worked recipe when mixing.
A Chemistry Bench input holds at most eight doses. A raw item producing twelve doses does not mean you can pour all twelve into one mixing flask. Store the surplus and use the recipe’s actual amounts.
Why did I get Noxious Sludge or an unexpected result?
Glass Scrap and Tech Scrap produce Noxious Sludge; not everything useful for building is a useful chemistry reagent. Check the row for the exact raw item, then check the output before mixing.
Unstable Distillation, Noxious Sludge and Unstable Flask are different names. The first is a reagent used in valid recipes; the second can lead to unwanted mixing results; the third is a finished throwable. For mixing failures, use the Chemistry Bench diagnosis.
