What is "Secret research data"?
This is an optional component in the Food tissue schematic. No one has found anything that can be used in that slot. It's probably a safe assumption that the research data is lootable, and gives a bonus to the tissue's properties.
Containers
Containers are required components for all drinks, but you can use any container in that slot. Each container has a multiplier that gets applied to the base quantity of the drink.
Small Glass: 1x multiplier (base quantity)
Large Glass: 1.5x multiplier
Cask: 3x multiplier
Barrel: Unknown (bugged)
The multiplier is applied after any rounding due to experimentation. So if a drink needs to be experimented to 25% to go from 6 to 7 doses, that point is still when additional doses appear, just with the multiplier. With a large glass, that drink would go from 9 to 10 doses (6 * 1.5 = 9, 7 * 1.5 = 10.5, but it gets rounded down). This makes things tricky when using large glasses. The rounding is done twice, so you'll get some jumpy increases, first from 9 to 10 at 25% quantity, then from 10 to 12 at 50% quantity.
The container multiplier also stacks with any BE quantity enhancer. So if you use both a +150 quantity tissue (which gives a 2.5x multiplier) and a cask, the final drink will have 7.5x as many doses as one made with a small glass and without the tissue.
T'illa T'ill is the only exception. This appears to be designed as a single-dose item (although why a 10-15% reduction in the food stomach is considered that powerful is beyond me). This will always come out with a single dose no matter what container or BE tissue you include in it, so stick to small glasses.
Experimentation:
- Flavor and Texture which allows you to increase the duration of the effect
- Nutritional Value which increases the power of the positive buff and decreases the side effect
- Quantity which gives your food additional charges
