» Tue Sep 28, 2010 11:59 pm Haama, this is an excellent mod. Saves thousands of clicks, another one to join my favourite list of labour-saving mods with Speedy Looting, Herbalism, etc.
A quick question about the Alchemy skill advancement calculations, if I may. Using the formulas does advance my skill, but only a fraction as fast as creating the potions myself. Does your mod have a fixed advancement rate, or does it calculate it according to your skill levelling settings (e.g. from OOO)? Is there a way for me to alter it?
The slower rate is probably more realistic (otherwise I can just sit down and gain 10 levels in a few minutes), but my Alchemy's at 30 now, so I hate to think how slow it'll be to level at 80.
Complicating the situatuion, I use hundreds of mods - here's my mod list if it would be of any use:

Shouldn't matter - I'm using an OBSE function that (is supposed) to increment it as if you've made a potion, including any skill rate modifications. I'll check it out tomorrow. Some quick suggestions, though - use TES4View to make sure no other mods modify the COBL scripts, especially the cobRUE... scripts. Also, it is possible (though unlikely) that one of your mods is adding extra skill points with the same OBSE function every time you make a potion.
[Edit] Forgot to comment on the poll.
Oops, forgot about the poll - it should be a http://www.gamesas.com/bgsforums/index.php?showtopic=873139&st=0 thanks to Elys, and I plan on adding a "Write Formula" button to the Alchemy screen.
As for substitutable ingredients, I can see pros & cons. You don't want to have to create dozens of different Restore Fatigue formulas, but at the same time you don't want to use up ingredients making Restore Fatigue that can also be used for something rarer and more useful like Restore Magicka or Invisibility. Maybe define a list of the substitutable ingredients for each ingredient in a formula?
Why not both
I had planned a button or two to automatically guess other ingredients, as well as a way to define your own list. Still sorting out a living schedule to do all of this, though (RL) 
(me) 
). I'm looking into a few Pluggy updates, maybe even adding string mapped arrays. If that doesn't work, then I'll add my own version of string maps to RUE (aka, a functional activator) and just use that.
