Organ Improver recipes and treatment

Updated for Steam update 1.011

An Organ Improver is brewed in the Laboratory, then combined with an organ at the Formulation Bench. Brewing the potion does not automatically alter a corpse already lying on an Autopsy Table.

The Laboratory makes an Organ Improver; the Formulation Bench then combines it with an organ.

Brew the chosen improver

Product Exact rune total and example
White-skull Organ Improver 4 green; Flour + Flour
Red-skull Organ Improver 4 red and 1 green; Stone + Copper Nugget

Both examples use two ingredient slots. Matching only the main color is insufficient: an extra blue rune would produce the wrong total.

The alchemy database lets you substitute known ingredients while keeping the exact total and slot limit.

Treat a donor organ

The formulation recipe accepts an organ of any grade and returns that organ’s top-grade version for the selected skull emphasis. A rare high-grade donor is therefore not required merely to start the treatment. Preserve a cheap cleanly extracted donor when it fills the same recipe.

White-skull organs support the ceiling of a burial; red-skull organs support worker talent slots. The desired emphasis should be chosen before consuming the improver. Swapping a body’s purpose halfway through the process can require more extraction and treatment.

Reinsertion is the expensive condition

A top-grade Skin needs Anatomy 6, Bones 7 and Skull 8 to insert safely. Top-grade Heart, Brain and Guts need 13. The potion can be available before the Keeper is ready to perform all six operations.

A failed insertion can consume the replacement. Check surgery requirements before brewing a whole body’s replacements, and keep the collar’s red-skull capacity in mind if the result is intended for resurrection.
