Direct answer

The Healing Potion is produced early via the potion production chain (grind/extract/distill steps per the official game description) and is the core trigger of the “First Potion!” achievement. Exact ingredient quantities for 1.0 are being re-verified — see the status note at the bottom.

  2. Harvest a crop — “You reap what you sow.” (87.9%).
  3. Run your first Stone Furnace (“Fire It Up!”, 75.6%).
  4. Complete the potion chain and produce the Healing Potion — unlock “First Potion!” (76.6%).

Used in & economy

Potions stock shelves and appear in commissions. The 1.0 shopkeeping rework put upgrade bonuses into the Shop Recognition system and changed prices to the moment a customer picks the item up — relevant when you mass-produce potions.

Progression role

Healing Potion production is the tutorial moment that connects all four loops: production → research → shop → expansion. After it, the early game opens up iron, then steel, then the Cauldron.
