NARG

(Neff's Alchemy Recipe Generator)

A tool to generate alchemy recipes for Noita. Contains robust search capability to find seeds with specific LC / AP formulas.

Usage

narg [options] SEED
narg -s [LC#1 LC#2 LC#3 AP#1 AP#2 AP#3]

Options:
-l, --list list all possible alchemy ingredients
-s, --search search all seeds for a given recipe
-> (can use * to sub any ingredient as a wildcard)
-> (can use -p to enable parallel search mode)
-p, --parallel use multiple processor threads in parallel in search mode
-d, --debug prints calculated values with seed; ignored when using search flag
-h, --help print this help menu

Searching for recipes:

Each recipe will contain at most 1 solid ingredient. Valid recipes contain either 3 liquids, or 2 liquids & 1 solid. 6 ingredients total are needed to perform a search.
Seeds are unable to generate recipes containing duplicate ingredients, or elements that aren't contained in the liquids or solids categories.
If searching for a recipe with an ingredient in the solids category, both recipes must include a solid at the SAME POSITION (i.e. both LC#1 and AP#1 must be solids, or both LC#2 and AP#2 must be solids, but do not have to be the same solid). This is due to how the recipes are shuffled.
If you attempt to search something that doesn't meet these requirements, narg will still attempt to search for the recipe, but will not return any results. Typos or incorrect ingredient names will be defaulted to a wildcard during search (using the --list option will show the possible ingredient names for both categories).
Since ingredient #2 for both recipes is the ingredient that is consumed, ingredients #1 & #3 are treated interchangeably for both recipes.

Example: narg -s mud water oil blood alcohol water
Above string will search for a seed with a Lively Concoction recipe with mud, water, and oil, and an Alchemic Precursor recipe with blood, alcohol, and water.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the "probability" percentage?

This is a misnomer. The probability value describes the rate at which the reaction occurs, not how likely a recipe is to be correct. However, this is the word Nolla uses internally to describe the reaction rate, which is why most tools will refer to it as such.

There isn't any guesswork in calculating the recipes: either the tool is correctly updated or it isn't. I've hidden this value by default in all of my tools, as it is usually insignificant to the player, and is generally confusing.

The mod/webpage/program is giving different results than the mod/webpage/program!

All of the tools I've created use the exact same algorithm. If you're having issues with the mod not working, make sure you're using one that's up to date (e.g. modworkshop.net/mod/29782).

The recipe isn't working, and it includes sand/gunpowder/swamp.

Sand in the desert has a different material ID, and is not the same sand used in alchemy (sand vs sand_surface).
swamp and water_swamp have the same UI name (shown near toolbar when hovering with cursor). water_swamp is slightly lighter in color than swamp.
The materials gunpowder, gunpowder_explosive, and gunpowder_tnt also have the same UI name. Additionally, gunpowder_explosive and gunpowder_tnt look identical, but gunpowder_tnt isn't used in alchemy.

I've brought this up to Nolla, as this is a common source of confusion, but until they change it certain recipes will continue to be somewhat difficult to interpret.
