-One of the core components of gameplay on MCLabs is the crafting of chemical compounds from raw chemicals. The Chem Lab is the central compound crafting system, providing access to unlock new compound formulas and craft compounds.
+The Chem Lab is one of MCLabs’ main systems for crafting chem compounds out of raw chems. To begin utilizing the Chem Lab, use either '''/chemlab''' or '''/lab''' to open the Chem Lab GUI. From here you can complete all Chem Lab actions and navigate to different menus inside the GUI. See below for more information on this system and how to use it!
 ==Chem Lab Basics==
 ===Unlocking Formulas===
-Each '''base chem''' has a set of '''compounds''' that can be crafted within the Chem Lab GUI. However, in order to craft these compounds, you must first '''unlock their formulas'''.
+* See the [https://labs-mc.com/wiki/Ranks#Chem_Ranks Ranks] page for info. on which ranks provide additional formula unlocks
 * You can see how many formula unlocks you have available by hovering over the nether star in the Chem Lab GUI
-* You cannot craft a compound in Chem Lab unless its formula has been unlocked
 ===Crafting Recipes===
-Once you have unlocked the formula for a compound, you can begin crafting it through the Chem Lab GUI.
+For example, if you have a '''carrot''' and '''potato''' farm (a common starter farm), a great early-game compound to unlock is '''Cartatonide''':
 # Open the Chem Lab GUI with '''/chemlab'''
 # Navigate to one of the '''base chems''' you are working with (e.g., '''Carrotenium''' or '''Potatium''')
@@ Line 28: / Line 26: @@
 #* The ratio of base chems to craft the compound
 #* The output compound
-# With all of the required ingredients in your inventory, you can then '''left click''' to craft as much as possible, or '''right click''' to craft once!
+# With all of the required ingredients in your inventory, you can then '''left-click''' to craft as many times as possible, or '''right-click''' to craft only once!
-Note the ratio of '''base chems''' required to craft a '''compound'''! Make sure that you have enough base chems for the ratio, or else you will not be able to craft the compound!
+Returning to our example, lets look at the '''Cartatonide recipe''':
 * This recipe requires these '''base chems''':
 ** <code>1x Carrotenium</code>
@@ Line 40: / Line 37: @@
 ** <code>1x Cartatonide</code>
-Note how this is a <code>1:1</code> crafting ratio, meaning that for every <code>1x Carrotenium</code>, you will need <code>1x Potatium</code> to craft the recipe. This makes the recipe one of the easiest recipes for beginners to start with!
+Consequently, selling <code>1x Cartatonide</code> will yield <code>1x Carrotenium</code> prestige progress (before multipliers are considered when selling) and also <code>1x Potatium</code> prestige progress. Thus, it's easier and more profitable to craft and then run chem compounds as opposed to just running the base chems separately!
 ===Chem Names===
+From within the Chem Lab GUI, you can click on the name tag at the top-left of the GUI to view all '''Chem Names'''. This menu splits all of the chems into three brackets:
 * Manual Chems
 * Automatic Chems

 ===Chem Lab Calculator===
 The Chem Lab Calculator is a powerful tool that helps you plan your crafting and selling goals. To access the Chem Lab Calculator, follow these steps:
 # Open the Chem Lab GUI with '''/chemlab''' and click on the redstone dust at the top-left of the GUI
-# Navigate to the base chem that you would like to calculate on
+# Navigate to the base chem that you would like to run a calculation on
 Within the Chem Lab Calculator for a specific chem, you can modify the calculation:
 * Click on the '''Emerald''' to view the required inventories of the chem remaining to complete the prestige progress for the chem
 * Click on the '''White Cross''' to change the quantity of chems being calculated
 * Click on the '''Green $''' to change the Money Multiplier
 * Click on the '''Pink P''' to change the Prestige Progress Multiplier
 * Click on the '''Blue L''' to change the Leaderboard Score Multiplier
@@ Line 69: / Line 68: @@
 From there, hovering over the chem in the center of the GUI will show you:
 * The quantity being calculated
 * The cash that will be generated from selling the specified quantity of that chem, after any Money Multipliers
-* The prestige progress that will be generated from selling the specified quantity of that chem, after any prestige progress Multipliers
 * The leaderboard score that will be generated from selling the specified quantity of that chem, after any Leaderboard Score Multipliers
-You can use the Chem Lab Calculator to caclulate the results of selling your chems on boosts at various rates. ''Note that you currently cannot accurately adjust the calculator for different dealer rates, but this is a planned improvement coming soon!''

 ==Chem Lab Energy==
@@ Line 89: / Line 91: @@
 To use energy, right-click the '''Amethyst Shard''' in the top-right corner of the Chem Lab GUI! This will enable the use of '''Chem Lab Energy''' when crafting compounds:
 * '''+10% Output Bonus''': Your output will be increased by approximately 10%
 * '''0.2 Energy Per Craft''': Each craft consumes around 0.2 energy from your stored supply
 * '''Chemtainer Deposit''': Bonus chems will go into your '''Chemtainer'''
 ===Chemtainer===
+Your chemtainer is where you can store your chems for quick access in other worlds, or quick storage while you're farming. '''/chemtainer''' or '''/ch''' to access the chemtainer GUI. Quickly deposit chems from your inventory into your chemtainer with '''/ch qd'''. Quickly move chems from your chemtainer into your inventory with '''/ch withdraw <chemname>''', the chems that you have in your chemtainer will be "tabbable" (can use tab-to-complete instead of typing out the full chem name). Your chemtainer capacity increases as you rank up. See [https://labs-mc.com/wiki/Ranks#Chem_Ranks Ranks] for more information on chemtainer capacity increases!
