Caffeine Pill — Probably Stolen Recipe & Price

Two ways to make Caffeine, and they are not close

Caffeine Pill is the small starter on the lab bench. It is filed here as in-game medicine. The reaction has two paths. Alcohol plus Coffee Bean Mush at 50°C or above can yield up to 75%. The same Caffeine made with Water at 80°C only reaches up to 12.5%. A first-week batch on the water path spends the night for a fraction of the liquid.

Each pill is only 5 mL, so blender loss removes whole pills. At 0 modules the blender keeps 65% of what you pour in: 100 mL becomes 65 mL, which is 13 pills and nothing left over. At 4 modules that same 100 mL is 20 pills. The modules that close the gap cost 250 cr each.

The Chem Finisher source example is this product: 5 mL of 90% Caffeine with no finisher modules lands at 79.2%. That sits in Street Standard, where the price effect is 0%. Four finisher modules bring contamination to 0%, so 90% in stays 90% out — Pharma-Grade, not Lab Pure. Lab Pure starts at 99%.

Ingredients & steps

1. Make Caffeine: 3 Alcohol to 4 Coffee Bean Mush at 50°C or above, yield up to 75%. With Water at 80°C the yield cap is 12.5%.
2. Blend it. Loss is 35% with no modules, then 20%, 10%, 5%, and 0% as you add modules.
3. Evaporate only if you still need Water or Alcohol out. The evaporator takes 300 / 450 / 600 mL a night and does not remove Caffeine.
4. Finish in the Chem Finisher. Contamination is 12% with no modules and 0% with 4. Final purity is the purity you put in, times (1 − contamination).
