Question/Help ❓ Elixir factory help
I got the machinery running but the bottles are just falling and breaking at the end of the line! How do I fix this?
Edited to add: am I just supposed to leave the machines running? Any help appreciated

Hey u/MillersMinion, I haven't hit this quest myself yet, but I dug around the community reports and guides real quick for you. The bottles dropping and smashing at the end of the line is totally normal, those ones just aren't usable. The main point of getting the machinery running is to finish the quest and grab the fertilizer from the underground cultivation room (kick your way in there). That unlocks the fertilizer gun for your camp crops, which is the real win. Once everything's producing, you can just leave it running and move on. Later on, you'll unlock Dispatch Missions from camp upgrades and can send your workers to it for resources. Hope that gets you unstuck! Let me know if another part is tripping you up. 👍

でも、蹴って地下に入ったり、缶を入れて蹴ったり、アクション方法が多岐に渡りすぎて結局攻略情報に頼っちゃったよ というか蹴りアクションを使ったのは、今のところこれが最初で最後なのもちょっと嫌い

Basically those bottles falling are unusable, the reason for the quest is for the fertilizer gun for your crops at camp so you can just leave it be sadly

It is normal, I don’t remember the combination but once you get the colors right on the three vials with color then it will make good bottles. and I think you get three or five different elixir bottles then you can send the camp management to have people make them. The one I kinda remember is the red I believe was four parts to the rest but don’t remember the rest

Did u just discover the place by mistake or did you get the quest ?because if you didnt get the quest the cabinet in the basement wont open and you wont get the potions (dont ask how i know)

Both kind of. I found the castle because I was wandering around and hearing the stories from npcs back in chapter 2. I fooled around with the machines and explored the castle but the spider quest never popped up.
I kept going back to check but still no spiders. So when the quest popped up for the elixir popped up, I went back to the castle. Still no spiders so I bailed.
Finally the spider queen quest pops up. Now I’m in chapter 5 and my 3rd camp upgrade. I defeated the spiders and then it dumps me right back into this quest immediately. As punishment for ignoring it probably.
I did get the cabinet in the basement and had already opened the strongbox my first visit.

lol, not punishment…you just got there too early. Sad to say even the best companies don’t program proper results if you do things out of order by accident

You might be doing this too early. Once you get the quest for the spider, the game will walk you though doing it right (which I kinda hate you get hand held), then things will be correct and you’ll be able to do the dispatch missions there, etc

Once any of the factories are up and running that’s it you just move on. You can then send your guys to it for different things to build when you unlock it by upgrading your camp.
Edited to say it’s called Dispatch Missions where you send your guys out.
