Refreshing
Slightly energizes the user. Refreshing is a tier-1 effect that adds +14% of the product's base value to the sell price and contributes 0.104 addictiveness to the customer. Like all effects it stacks with the others already on a product, up to the 8-effect limit, and it can be mixed onto any product in the game.
Which Ingredient Adds It
No ingredient in the v0.4.7 data adds Refreshing directly — the ingredient shelf reaches 16 of the game's 35 effects, and this is not one of them. It can still appear on a product through effect transformations during mixing or as part of scripted content; the transformation table is derived from the game's own mix-map data, and this page will list every confirmed chain once they are nailed down.

Transformations
Mixing does not only append effects — under v0.4.7 rules an ingredient first applies its transformation table (if-effect-present → replace-with) to the effects already in the bucket, and only then adds its own default effect if there is room. That is exactly how Refreshing can appear on a product even when no ingredient carries it: another effect gets converted into it mid-mix. The full 114-rule table is derived from the game's own mix-map data and every recipe on this site runs it. Where Refreshing can appear without mixing: it is the initial effect on Sour Diesel, straight out of the bag.
Price Multiplier
Refreshing adds +14% of the base value. Because the bonus scales with the product's base price, the same effect is worth a different dollar amount depending on what you mix it onto:
| Product | Base price | Sell price with Refreshing | Value added |
|---|---|---|---|
| OG Kush | $35 | $40 | +$5 |
| Meth | $70 | $80 | +$10 |
| Cocaine | $150 | $171 | +$21 |
Full formula: sell price = base × (1 + the sum of every effect's bonus), rounded to the whole dollar — the same math the mixing calculator runs for any ingredient chain.
