LE Alchemy Overhaul - New process

[Fruitman1010]

Instead of the typical Alchemy Overhaul with new ingredients, effects, or magnitudes, I have yet to see an Alchemy Overhaul that changes the process of potion making completely.

I'd like to see a mod which changes the process from "Select 2 or 3 Ingredients, Hit R, Rinse and Repeat," to having to make salves, create extracts, boil liquids, etc. Doing something different with one ingredient can create a completely different result. Also, using these steps, it is possible to make a more potent and more pure version of the potion or poison created. Doing the Vanilla alchemy process would garner a very weak, impure potion with some additional, unwanted side effects. A list of possible processes would be as follows:

 

Grind

Boil

Mix

Stir

Create Salve

Create Paste

Gather Extract

Gather Essence

Gather Pollen

Gather Petals

Dilute

Use Bark

Use Tears

Use Saliva

 

And so on. Some of these would only be usable on certain ingredients, while others can be used on almost everything. To pick which process would be used on an ingredient, you would select an ingredient and "craft" it. A menu would then pop up with the available processes. The more skilled you are, the more processes are available. No longer is the potency of a potion governed by alchemy skill alone. Now alchemy skill should have a minimal effect, allowing for one to create decent potions from the start, but with some additional negative effects to balance it out. Also, creating a potion would not require just two or three ingredients, but at least 5, and up to 10. Time also passes when processing ingredients. To create a potion (which is in liquid form) you must add either a liquid to it, which will either add a negative or positive effect, or enhance the current/desired effect, or add water, which will most likely dilute the potion. To create a salve (which is pasty in consistency) you may have to add a few drops of liquid, but sometimes you will not as the liquid inside one or more of the ingredients will be enough.

 

This is just an outline, use it as a guide, if any of you are up to the challenge. I may come back to this to add more, but I probably won't. If no one is willing to create this, I would be very appreciative if someone could walk me through how to do something this complicated. Thank you. ;)
