The alchemy game.(new forum edition)

setting:The player takes control of an alchemist in a fantasy medieval Europe,you just inherited your father’s alchemy lab.Your goal is to create a miniature version of the world,populated by homunculi.

Humonculi:
Humonculi are the artificial beings created by alchemists.
There are two types of humonculi,normal humonculi and spirit humonculi.Normal humonculi take the shape of humans and animals,while spirit humonculi take the shape of spirits.
To create A humonculi,the player needs:
-A sketch,which gives the humonculi it’s shape.
-salt and mercury for normal humonculi and sulfur for spirit humonculi.

Spirits:
Spirits are the beings that inhabit realms other than earth.
All spirits have the ability to possess mortals.If a spirit possesses a human,it will replace his soul and the humans body will change in shape(they will resemble the spirits original form).

Realms:

These are the realms spirits inhabit(and what kind of spirits dwell in them)
-the air realm(air,lightning,smoke)
-the earth realm(earth,metal,sand)
-the fire realm(fire,magma,ash)
-the water realm(water,acid)
-the tunnel of death(this is a tunnel that connects Hell and Heaven to Earth,it is inhabited by death spirits.
-Heaven(angels)
-Hell(demons)
-the realm of beasts(animal spirits)
-the realm of plants(plant spirits)
-the realm of fungi(Fungus spirits)

Magic:
Magic comes in a few different schools:
-elemental magic(with sub schools for every type of spirit from the fire,water,earth and air realms.Spirits from those realms are masters at their own subschools of magic)
-medical magic
-enchanting
-ilusion magic
-diviniation
Only sentient humonculi can practice magic.

Rules:

-the mercury,salt and sulfur will be measured in points.

-the player can use 4 salt points and 4 mercury points to get 10 coins.
-the player also start with a human sketches(which make humonculi human-shaped)
-Each sketch requires a specific number of points to work properly(ex:the human sketch requires 5 salt points and 10 mercury points to work.)
-The player can go to different stores,which sell different things(mercury,salt and sulfur points points and Sketches)
-Humonculi are about the size of an thumb.
-The player starts with one room(which is filled with miniature grass,trees and bushes and also a river) and they can build more rooms if they want.
-The the player’s alchemy lab has a special magic field around it,which kills humonculi if they try to escape.

Miniature plants grow in a few hours,but die in a few days.
Humonculi also grow faster than their normal counterparts.

Vote 2: Create miniature potato

Changes to the room:

potato plants have started growing in the room near the river,the human noticed these plants,and tried to use one to fuel his campfire.He soon noticed the potatoes cooking and,being hungry,ate one.He soon came to the conclusion that potatoes are a type of meat(because the only food he has eaten before was meat).
He also seems to have discovered agriculture,and he has started growing potato plants.
Two goldfish have entered the river(small humonculi come in pairs),the human was too busy growing potatoes to notice them.The fish bred and in a few days there were about 500 to 600 goldfish in the river.
The human,being sick of eating potatoes,started searching for a new food source.he eventually found the goldfish and managed to catch one,he then cooked and ate it.Soon enough he started trying to catch other gold fish,but he wasn’t very successful,so he went back to farming potatoes,but he occasionally tries to catch fish.
Algae and fly humonculi seem to have appeared inside the room,but the player character doesn’t really know why.

Changes to the room:
The city council has created a builders guild,you can hire builders from them to expand your room.

Vote: work at alchemist society

You make 50 coins from working at the alchemists society.

Resources:
127 coins
9 salt
7 mercury

Changes to the room:

A female humonculi has entered the room,she was immediately noticed by the other human humonculus,and soon enough they procreated,and by the end of the week she gave birth(as a rule of thumb the humonculi’s life cycle takes place faster than their normal counterparts)
They have also developed a simple language to communicate with each other.
The man has created a small fish pool,which he filled with 3 goldfish he caught,these fish are all male and they will not reproduce,but the man will probably catch a female goldfish,and the other fish will reproduce.
The man also thought the woman about cooking,farming and building.

changes to the room

The room got an expansion,making it 4 meters longer and 3 meters wider.This new area is currently uninhabited.
The humans have encountered a cat,they ignored it for a while,bu they eventually killed and ate it.
A small population of frogs has established itself around the eastern part of the river,too far away for the humans to encounter them.their tadpoles have started eating fish eggs,and as such the population of goldfish in the eastern part of the river has decreased.
The humans have started worshiping the original man,considering him the son of their god,and so incest has become common.
The algae in the room seems to originate from the decaying bodies of dead goldfish,but how this happened is unknown.

Hey I’d like to Try this out ! I’d like to do only one Turner to see if I like it please !

Buy 2 Mercury
Create a fish
Wait for the the new fish to die, compare the dead bodies of this one and the algae ones and check whether the algae from the new fish’s corpse and the already existing one are similar.

Okay,remember to vote.

The original algae already came from multiple fish,and you can only create goldfish so the new algae wouldn’t be the same as the old one.
Also I thought it would be important for you guys to know that there are 7 humans living in the room.

Vote:go to the alchemist society to see what is for sale
