....You're allowed to edit in the Alchemy store into Union Cove, right? And the Gypsy Wagon can go onto a park that one of the heirs buys for their lot requirement?
If not, how can you get Alchemy into Union Cove; add a till to the open market?
Plus, does the book corral automatically have all the skill books including alchemy if I were to place one in a library?
You can place EA buildings down so yes you can use edit town to place the elixir Store. Remember the gypsy wagon will make whatever property you put it on turn into a rabbit hole so it will no longer count for an heir's requirements and you could fail if you choose a previous immortals property to do this on. Or you could buy an extra property and do it? or my personal favorite - save the gypsy wagon lot from Moonlight Falls and place it in town. Not sure you'll find space in Union Cove but sometimes that's the easiest way for other towns
The book corral automatically updates to include skill books but the bookshelf with the glass shelves also does skill books and if you're using Union Cove, that means one of the two are already available in the library and should have the alchemy available for reading.
Oh, good idea, I wish I'd thought of that prior to buying these bee hives.
Edit: My seed gatherers managed to find Life Seeds and they've now been grown in our back yard. 
I've had the death fish for quite some time now, and Agnes has the Ambrosia recipe. I just need Agnes to live for at least another 6-7 days (Founder is currently 6 days from Elderhood).
Please don't die Agnes the Greatness.
Can potions be thrown at pets?
Yes please don't die Aggie.. not yet. See if you can get a spare or Agnes to get a replicator maybe and have her replicate it. To replicate ambrosia it has to be in the bowl form in the middle of the cooking interaction. As for the pets and potions thing, last time I tried to use a potion on a pet it would not let me.
I figure the answer is yes, but I want to be sure.
A heir doesn't have to eat Ambrosia immediately after completing their requirements, right? I figure my Founder will be ready very soon after turning Elder and I want her to enjoy the full benefit of Ambrosia.
Rachel always waits until day 83 to feed it for her immortals but the longer you wait to feed your immortal the ambrosia the longer your requirements have to stay in tact. Like Gogo said, just make sure none of your friends die while waiting to eat it.
Not as useless after all! I always thought that Pets was the worst expansion.
Pets added a town and the three animals all of which are allowed in the Immortal dynasty. Like everyone has already mentioned, each animal has it's benefits. Riding is added to the list of supermaxes. I actually have relied heavily this last time on my cat doing all the fishing to get deathfish so none of my helpers had to and it saved fishing to be a supermax later if I needed it. Dogs can go out and get gems, metals and space rocks which can really help when you're starting out to help the cash flow in. Horses, while they take a little while getting started, can really bring in the money with a properly trained rider. This can also be done by adopting several horses, training them a little and then selling them. Sometimes a few skill points can make a huge different in their selling price.
