→Sludge Duplication: some practical experience
(several fixes: favilink fix, you can't dominate sludges. you also can't dupe cloning draught anymore, neutron sludges are also impossible) |

# Pour | # Pour a single dram of {{favilink|primordial soup}} on the ground, ''then'' pour the rest of it (498 more drams) on the same tile. Since adding to an existing puddle does not mix the poured liquid with salt, by the time it grows into a big pool it should have a low enough proportion of salt to be considered pure. If this didn't work, dump a {{favilink|desalination pellet}} into the pool (preferably while flying, otherwise try throwing it). | ||

This can be quite risky if you are duplicating a particularly dangerous liquid, but such is the price of cheese.

This method will not work with {{Favilink|Neutron Flux}} and {{favilink|cloning draught}}; the first because the liquid will explode when poured out of its container, and the latter has the draught replaced with fresh water. However, it does with {{favilink|brain brine}}. | This method will not work with {{Favilink|Neutron Flux}} and {{favilink|cloning draught}}; the first because the liquid will explode when poured out of its container, and the latter has the draught replaced with fresh water.
