C2 - Science Kit Mixtures

The Science Kit in Creatures 2 allows the user to inject "Mixtures" in its basic mode, requiring the upgrade before it allows them to inject any singular chemical in the game. The thing is, these "Mixtures" are moddable through a bit of text editing. They have little practical use besides setting up a list of chemicals to be injected all at once.

How to use/make custom mixtures in five steps:


  1. Go to the folder named Applet Data in your Creatures 2 folder.
  2. Find a file called ChemMixtures, the one you edit depends on the language of your Creatures 2 installation. If you're using the English version just use the file "ChemMixtures" with nothing after it.
  3. Open the file in notepad. (Don't forget to back it up!)
  4. Make/Paste the custom mixture on the next line below the existing mixtures, as said at the top part of the file the format is: name|description|red|green|blue|chem0|conc0|chem1|conc1|...|chemN|concN
  5. Save the file (making sure you overwrite the existing ChemMixtures file) and test it out in game.

The description of chemicals don't seem to serve much purpose, as it isn't displayed in the science kit.
