How the Cauldron works
Every item in the game files has two cauldron numbers: an ingredient value (what it adds when you put it in) and a target (where it sits as a product). 47 items are flagged as cauldron products. The Cauldron sums the three ingredient values and outputs the product whose target is nearest; on an exact tie the item with the lower internal id wins. Each product therefore owns a window of sums, from halfway to the next cheaper product up to halfway to the next dearer one.
This rule is our reading of the data, not a copy of the game code (the selection runs in C++). It reproduces all four fixed Cauldron recipes the game ships: Philosopher's Stone, Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald. Combinations near a window edge are the most likely to break if a patch changes item values, so “Closest to target” sorts the safest ones first.
Craft time and heat follow a curve over the product's target (3–60 s, 1–10,000 heat per batch), which matches the craft times of the four fixed recipes. The Cauldron is unlocked by research in tier 5 (tech tree).
Source: craft time and heat curve: Cauldron craft time and heat are a piecewise-linear interpolation over the output item's CauldronTarget (community calculator engine). The time curve reproduces the CraftingTime of all four Cauldron rows in DT_EnemyCrafting (checked by pipeline tests), heat is per batch. citation
Repeated ingredients: Community calculator engine (starfi5h DB v55, as extracted by alchemyfactorytools): T = (cost1 + cost2 + cost3) × samenessRatio, ratio 1 / 0.65 / 0.5 for three different / two identical / three identical inputs; output = nearest cauldron target. Not traced in the game binary. citation
Advanced Cauldron
The Advanced Cauldron takes 2 ingredients. Community research says it picks its output from the difference between the input values, but that logic runs in the game code and is not in the data files, so we do not list Advanced Cauldron recipes or guess at them: its results are computed in-game.
What is known from the data: it is unlocked by research in tier 7 (see the tech tree), costs 20 Silver Ingot to build, and uses the same ingredient values shown in the table above. The 1.0 patch notes mention it: “Fixed an issue where Advanced Cauldrons could sometimes fail to find a product.”
