How to Use the Mixing Table in Rust

 

Getting Started with the Mixing Table

 

     First things first, you need to get your hands on a Mixing Table. You can snag one at the Bandit Camp for 500 scrap, or if you're feeling adventurous, you can craft it at a Level 1 Workbench using 200 metal fragments and 100 stones.

 

    

     Once you have your Mixing Table, plop it down in your base. It's a sizable deployable—bigger than the Tier 3 Workbench—so make sure you have enough space.

 

    

 

Mixing Potions

 

     The Mixing Table is all about combining berries to create various potions and teas. You’ve got six types of berries to work with: red, green, black, yellow, blue, and white. Each berry has its own unique properties, and you’ll need to experiment with them to unlock their full potential.

 

    

 

     Here’s how it works:

 

     1. Open the Mixing Table and you’ll see five slots where you can add berries.

 

     2. Add your ingredients in the correct slots. The order and quantity matter a lot—get it right, and you’ll see the “Start Mixing” button turn green.

 

     3. Hit the mix button and wait for the craft time to complete. Voila, you’ve got yourself a potion or tea!

 

     For example, if you add five red berries, you’ll craft a health potion. Drink this potion and watch your health slowly increase, just like using a med kit but over time.

 

    

 

Types of Potions and Teas

 

 

     Here’s the rundown of what you can brew:

 

     - Health Potions: Restores health over time.

     - Max Health Potions: Increases your maximum health temporarily.

     - Gathering Teas: Boosts your gathering efficiency (wood, ore, etc.).

     - Radiation Teas: Reduces or removes radiation.

     - Scrap Gathering Teas: Increases the amount of scrap collected.

 

    

     The stronger the potion, the more significant the effect. For instance, a Superior Max Health Potion boosts your health cap all the way to 120, which can be a lifesaver in intense situations.

 

 

Troubleshooting and Tips

 

     - Exact Quantities and Order: The recipe must be exact. If the “Start Mixing” button isn’t green, you’ve got the wrong amounts or order.

 

     - Potion Duration: Each potion lasts for exactly 10 minutes and 15.5 seconds. They don’t stack, so timing is crucial.

 

     - Craft Multiple Items: If you want to craft several potions at once, simply add more berries. Just remember that the total crafting time multiplies accordingly.

 

 

     The Mixing Table in Rust is a game-changer. It opens up a new dimension of crafting, allowing you to brew potions that enhance your survival abilities, provide strategic advantages, and even give you a boost in raiding or gathering. Experiment with different recipes, and you'll soon become a master alchemist in Rust!
