last time i have changed research system, now i trying to change crucible crafting
added water and temperature bars. Each recipe
now consumes water and can be done only at exact temeratures
for example zirconium(Zr) now consumes 10L of water and optimal temp for it is 40-60°
after some thinking and experimenting, looks like i found the way to make good, balanced research system for my game.
Firstly, to do some reaserach you require special metal for each try (it goes on top of couldron)
Then you can add another metal as catalyst (it goes on left side, before step counter), it wil unlock random step even if you don't match anything
Then goes grow-like matching game. You can't use the same element more than 1 time now. Also if you unlock step, you have to follow it, or next researches will not work
After selecting all elements click "research"
When you finish the research it will unlock new recipe for cauldron or some other stuff
short vid about new system
*thanks to @benjamin and @wan for ideas that helped me to make new system. *
i found a great pic of history of discovering elements. Then i made gif based on this pic.

I just want to thank all guys who have played my game 'Alchemic'. I know that it has a lot of stuff that need to be changed, but i already have some ideas for game. I will add some stuff after the jam ends(i want to do that now, but rules just don't allow me to do that). BTW, i already fix most of bugs and if you played it on the first day of voting, i reccomend to download a new version without bugs.
Thanks all of you guys i really impressed.
i have 4 hours to finish the game, i missing a lot of stuff. have to be fast

i still don't know how to upload images, i tried to upload them to imgur, but it just doesn't work
