Honestly I'd just rather tell people everything they need is in Hillcrest rather than intimidate them with exploration. If you know a copper source you can clear within 10 seconds of it's repop it's not too big a deal to get all the ingredients you need (keeping these rules in mind), unless you either keep concocting too early and let your poison vials/grenades rot, or die alot to people who sacrifice your containers. There is no reason for you to need mind control grenades and thus no reason for you to need to use a single expensive mind control ingredient. Apply mind inhaled x takes only 1 round of lag.
Also there is a potential to simply fail the concoction outright and waste the ingredients. This sucks if you don't know what kind of poison it would have made. I know for a fact there's other ingredients out there that are similar to formaldehyde in Evermoon.
