Probably Stolen chemistry guide
Updated
Probably Stolen chemistry is a production process in which you follow a recipe, blend ingredients, run a reaction at the right temperature, and finish the mixture. The third-party chemistry guide describes the workflow as blending, reacting, scanning, evaporating the mixture dry, and using the Chem Finisher. Chemistry recipes also specify a batch volume, active ingredient, and whether an input must be dry, so those details shape how you handle each mixture.

The Chemist’s role in Probably Stolen chemistry
The Chemist handles the tools and steps used to turn recipe inputs into finished chemical products. The Chemist guide on GameWikiStation says the specialization starts with a manual, blender, heating plate, finisher, measuring tools, and scanner. That starting kit gives the Chemist equipment for measuring and preparing a batch, applying heat, checking the mixture, and completing the process. The game’s production work is therefore tied to a set of tools as well as to recipe instructions.
Chemist is one starting specialization, and chemistry can also be unlocked later through a Retired Chemist contact. The ProbablyStolen.app fan site describes both ways to access chemistry. That distinction matters when you are thinking about the role: choosing Chemist is one route, while the contact is a later route.
The Chemist’s manual and measuring tools support recipe-based work. Recipes specify batch volume, the active ingredient, and whether an input needs to be dry, according to the Chemist guide. Those are concrete instructions to check before processing, since the batch size, ingredient, and input condition are all part of the recipe. The guide also lists a scanner among the starting tools, which is used to inspect a mixture before the next processing steps.
Chemistry bench equipment and base values
The fan site lists this bench gear with base values in Credits. Those are reference prices, not sale offers. Both the Chemist start and the Retired Chemist contact come with part of this kit.

| Chemical Supplies (Common) | 50 Credits | Unpacks into basic crafting items | Restricted supplies cover advanced work |
What Probably Stolen chemistry makes
Probably Stolen chemistry makes chemical products by processing ingredients through a recipe. The Steam store page says profitable chemicals rely on closely guarded recipes. That establishes recipes as central to production, while the Chemist guide gives the practical recipe details: batch volume, active ingredient, and whether an input must be dry. Together, those details describe what a recipe tells you to prepare.
Purity means the active ingredient’s share of the finished product’s total volume. The Chemist guide defines purity in those terms, so it is a proportion of the finished batch rather than a separate ingredient or tool. Reading a recipe and checking the active ingredient therefore go together: recipes identify the active ingredient, and purity describes its share after processing.
Brewing is another production topic, and a third-party wiki covers it. A third-party wiki’s production recipes page includes brewing and chemistry mechanics. Brewing uses berries, yeast, and water quality to determine wine quality. Yeast affects fermentation speed, finished true wine can age naturally, and Synthetic Yeast can produce fake wine that does not age naturally, as described by the third-party wiki’s brewing page.
Probably Stolen brewing chemistry connects two production subjects that the wiki discusses: chemistry and brewing. The brewing details identify the inputs and conditions tied to wine quality, while the Chemist guide explains recipes, mixture checks, and chemical processing. The brewing page also distinguishes true wine from fake wine by whether the finished product ages naturally. Keeping those statements together helps clarify what is covered: brewing has its own ingredient and fermentation details, while chemical batches follow recipe and processing steps.
Finisher recipes and active ingredients
Every finisher recipe needs a dry batch. The batch is the volume the Chem Finisher takes per unit, and the base value is a reference price rather than a sale offer.
| Product | Active ingredient | Batch | Dry batch | Base value |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vial of Dream Dust | Dream Cap Extract | 2 mL | Yes | 18 Credits |
| Vial of Nightmare Dust | Nightmare Extract | 4 mL | Yes | 36 Credits |
| Caffeine Pill | Caffeine | 5 mL | Yes | 10 Credits |
| Zyanide Pill | Zyanide | 0.6 mL | Yes | 33 Credits |
| Birth Control Pill | Contraceptive | 0.1 mL | Yes | 15 Credits |
| Phanta Pill | Phanta | 0.5 mL | Yes | 12 Credits |
| Nomore Injector | Nomore | 4 mL | Yes | 50 Credits |
Steps in the Probably Stolen chemist workflow
The Chemist workflow moves from blending an ingredient to finishing a processed mixture. The third-party chemistry guide describes blending an ingredient, running a reaction at the right temperature, scanning the mixture, evaporating it dry, and using the Chem Finisher. The order gives you a practical sequence to follow: prepare the mixture, react it under the stated temperature condition, inspect it, dry it through evaporation, and complete it with the finisher.
Recipe checks come before processing because the recipe sets batch volume, active ingredient, and whether the input must be dry. The Chemist guide supplies those recipe details, and its starting equipment includes measuring tools and a blender. First, use the recipe to identify the batch requirements and prepare the ingredient; then blend it as part of the workflow. Exact batch sizes and formulas come from the recipe itself.
The reaction step depends on getting the temperature right. The chemistry page places running a reaction at the right temperature after blending the ingredient, and the Chemist starts with a heating plate. Scanning mixtures helps check their ingredients and temperature before processing, according to the Chemist guide. Taken together, the temperature check and scanner give the player information to consider around the reaction stage.
Scanning is a mixture check within the production process. The Chemist guide says scanning helps check ingredients and temperature before processing, while the chemistry workflow includes scanning after the reaction step. The workflow then calls for evaporating the mixture dry and using the Chem Finisher. The named tools and actions make the sequence clear. For settings and quantities, follow the batch and input requirements in the recipe.
- Check the recipe for batch volume, active ingredient, and whether an input must be dry.
- Blend an ingredient, then run the reaction at the right temperature.
- Scan the mixture to check its ingredients and temperature before processing.
- Evaporate the mixture dry, then use the Chem Finisher.
Reaction routes and temperature windows
Each reaction has its own working window, and more heat is not a universal speed-up. Scan the composition before every finish, as the fan site advises.
| Reaction | Temperature | Inputs | Output and limits |
|---|---|---|---|
| Coffee to caffeine | 80°C or more with water; 50°C or more with alcohol | Coffee bean mush, water or alcohol | Caffeine and plant matter; the two solvents may not give the same yield |
| Dream Cap to Dream Dust | 40–59°C | Uncooked Dream Cap mash and alcohol at 5:1 | Dream Cap extract, which degrades at 60°C |
| Nightmare Cap to Nightmare Dust | 40–49°C | Nightmare Cap mash and alcohol at 5:1 | Up to half the mash becomes extract; it degrades from 50°C |
| Dream extract to Nomore | 45–55°C, faster from 50°C | Dream Cap extract, reducing agent, Lipobond | 60% Nomore and 40% debris; alcohol at 10% of volume or less |
| Methylol to Fantyl | 110–129°C, faster from 120°C | Methylol and reducing agent | Stabilizer must stay below an equal amount of Methylol; at 130°C or more, 2% of Fantyl is lost per heat check |
Product grades and finisher loss
Purity is the active ingredient’s share of the finished product’s total volume, and each figure below is the minimum for that grade. The Chem Finisher’s contamination loss is 12, 6, 3, 1 or 0 with zero, one, two, three, or four or more upgrade modules.
| Grade | Minimum purity |
|---|---|
| Lab Pure | 99% |
| Pharma-Grade | 90% |
| Near Pharma | 80% |
| Street Standard | 60% |
| Cut Product | 45% |
| Junk Grade | 30% |
| Starch Grade | 0% |
Our take on Probably Stolen chemistry
Probably Stolen chemistry is presented as recipe-led production with a defined series of preparation and finishing actions. The clearest practical details are the recipe fields, the Chemist’s starting tools, and the workflow from blending through finishing. Those points show the shape of the task.
The brewing details add a useful distinction within production: wine quality depends on berries, yeast, and water quality, while yeast also affects fermentation speed. Finished true wine can age naturally, whereas wine made with Synthetic Yeast does not age naturally. Those are specific distinctions to keep in mind when reading about brewing alongside chemistry. They do not change the stated chemical workflow, which has its own blending, reaction, scanning, evaporation, and finishing steps.
The Probably Stolen chemist role begins with a manual, blender, heating plate, finisher, measuring tools, and scanner. Chemistry is also described as something that can be unlocked later through a Retired Chemist contact. The practical takeaway is that the role has a recognizable toolset and that the game describes more than one path to chemistry. Recipes remain central because they determine batch volume, active ingredient, and dry-input requirements.
