Description
This series of puzzles comes from a stream series where viewers suggest (or I pick) some desirable real-world product, I invent a new Opus Magnum alchemical molecule (or collection of molecules) to represent it, and then I build and solve a puzzle where the alchemist creates it. As I have uploaded these to the Steam Workshop, I have taken the liberty of adding flavortext appropriate to the Opus Magnum setting as I understand it.

The puzzles vary in difficulty, but none are created with a specific intent to be harder than necessary - foremost in my mind creating the puzzles was in-universe concepts of available materials and cost. There's no particular progression - puzzles are added as streams are completed.

The stream series is currently on hold; when active, streams occur on my Twitch channel[www.twitch.tv]. The "Packbat Puzzles in Opus Magnum" YouTube playlist on my channel holds an archive of past streams.
