Recipes

Troubleshooting errors when working with fertilizer recipes — from saving custom formulas to incorrect element concentration calculations.

Reagent doesn't appear in the list

Reason: Database doesn't contain the required reagent

Solution:

  • Check spelling of reagent name
  • Add necessary reagent manually via the "Don't have the reagent you need?" link

Incorrect reagent mass calculation

Problem: System shows incorrect quantity for preparation

Solution:

  • Ensure the volume of finished fertilizer is specified correctly
  • Check target element concentrations

Recipe doesn't save

Possible reasons:

  • Required "Recipe name" field not filled
  • No reagent selected
  • Concentrations not specified
  • Component solubility limits exceeded

Element conflict in composition

Reason: Mutually exclusive element forms selected (e.g., Fe²⁺ and Fe³⁺ simultaneously)

Solution: Check selected elements and keep only one form of each
