Pink Drink Production (by Carbon)

[Regian24]

Gentlemen... now that the purple drink has been fleshed out and the lean chain is available to the general population (myself), I think we can agree that it is truly time to go above and beyond with our drink synthesis. The purple drink has many benefits to a gameplay-oriented project such as this; for instance, it is very funny. Therefore, in order to elevate this gameplay to a new level I would like to introduce a proposal. What, you may ask, could possibly compete with both the complexity and necessity of the purple drink? Allow me to share my innovative new processing line, the pink drink. A fitting companion to the purple drink, the pink drink would be created in a similar way.

Pepto-Bismol synthesis begins with the production of methylcellulose, which is created through the mixing of cellulose with dichloromethane. This methylcellulose is then mixed with Aluminum Magnesium Silicate and Bismuth Subsalicylate to form Pepto-Bismol Base Dust.

Bismuth Subsalicylate, a pre-requisite for the above dust, is formed by mixing bismuth, sodium hydroxide, and water in a IV or above mixer.

Benzoic acid is formed through partial oxidation of toluene over a cobalt naphthenate catalyst.

Pepto-Bismol, then, is created by mixing Pepto-Bismol Base Dust, Benzoic acid, any dyeRed, and water in an HV or above mixer.
Now we have determined a reasonable pathway to Pepto-Bismol production, we come to the second ingredient in the pink drink.

We begin with the production of Benzhydrole derivatives, which is a complex and mostly meaningless chain, entirely focused on the production of Benzhydrole Chloride (chlorodiphenylmethane). I have slightly simplified this (though I have not done any balancing yet) through the below reactions.

Benzyl Chloride + Benzene + Aluminum Chloride (catalyst) => Diphenylmethane

Diphenylmethane + Air + Copper Dust (catalyst) => Benzophenone

Sodium Carbonate + Borax => Sodium Metaborate

Sodium Metaborate + Magnesium + Hydrogen => Sodium Borohydride

Benzophenone + Ethanol + Sodium Hydroxide Solution + Sodium Borohydride => chlorodiphenylmethane + difluorobenzhydrole (Needs ZPM LCR)

ethylene oxide + dimethylamine => dimethylaminoethanol

chlorodiphenylmethane + dimethylaminoethanol => diphenhydramine hydrochloride (DPH)

stearic acid + Magnesium => Magnesium Stearate

diphenhydramine hydrochloride (DPH) + Magnesium Stearate + cellulose + any dyePink => Benadryl Dust

Benadryl Dust + nuggets mold => 18 Benadryl (forming press)

Benadryl => Crushed Benadryl (macerator)

36 Crushed Benadryl + 1000mb Pepto-Bismol => 1000mb Pink Drink Preparation (mixer)

1000mb Pink Drink Preparation + 500mb Carbon Dioxide => 1500mb Pink Drink (IV or above mixer)
