Survival Evolved infobox bills; explicit base-quality and station variants
This catalog uses Survival Evolved primary bills. Ascended ingredient overrides, Mobile, Primitive Plus and exclusively Ascended DLC objects are excluded; the remake is not counted as a separate game. · Only explicit alternate ingredient and yield fields become alternate station recipes. A secondary station list does not imply the same batch yield or ingredient bill.
