Some of the items in the expansions naturally suggest possible additional recipes for core items that could be added to the game. The most obvious of these is making Voltaic Cells out of potatoes, but there are almost certainly others that could be added as well. Anyway, this should be official: <craft> <output skill="1" name="Voltaic Cell" amount="1" /> <output skill="2" name="Voltaic Cell" amount="2" /> <output skill="3" name="Voltaic Cell" amount="3" /> <output skill="5" name="Voltaic Cell" amount="4" /> <tool tag="tinkerer"/> <input name="Potato"/> <input name="Zinc Ingot"/> <input name="Copper Ingot"/> </craft>
IMHO voltaic potion is more suitable for the recipe rather than oil of vitriol (which is in the original)
A battery is a device that converts chemical energy directly to electrical energy.It consists of a number of voltaic cells; each voltaic cell consists of two half-cells connected in series by a conductive electrolyte containing anions and cations. One half-cell includes electrolyte and the electrode to which anions (negatively charged ions) migrate, i.e., the anode or negative electrode; the other half-cell includes electrolyte and the electrode to which cations (positively charged ions) migrate, i.e., the cathode or positive electrode. In the redox reaction that powers the battery, cations are reduced (electrons are added) at the cathode, while anions are oxidized (electrons are removed) at the anode. The electrodes do not touch each other but are electrically connected by the electrolyte. On a more serious note, I think that this recipe is a cool idea but should not produce more than one cell, but is possible at skill level 0.
Oh, sulphuric acid certainly is right on the money Perhaps it should go the other way round: I put it on distillistry since there's all the other weird recipes (the ones involving grog.. perhaps this recipe should also use grog )
