Step-by-Step Workbench Operation
1. Open the Distillation Cube Interface
- Enter your underground Alchemy Lab workspace.
- Approach and interact with the Distillation Cube workbench.[2]
- The workbench window displays the station title at the top, craftable recipes on the left, the internal flame fuel reservoir at center, and the batch Queue controls at the bottom.[2]
2. Select the Alcohol Recipe
- Highlight the Alcohol recipe icon in the station recipe grid.[1]
- Verify that your character has unlocked the prerequisite technology (Anatomy Mastery 3).[5]
3. Check Fuel and Staged Materials
- Check your inventory: ensure you carry at least
1/1Wine and2/2Clay Urns.[1] - Inspect the station's internal flame reservoir gauge (e.g.
120/20). Distillation consumes station fuel points rather than player stamina.[2] Ensure the reservoir reads 20 or higher before queueing.
4. Trigger the Crafting Queue
- Click the Queue button at the bottom of the workbench window to queue one or more batches into the station's automated buffer.[2]
- The Distillation Cube operates automatically once queued.
5. Completion & Output Scope
- Community guides report that completing the batch yields 4 Alcohol (or 7 with the Cube distillations perk active).[3][4]
- Collection Note: While station operation and the Queue mechanism are confirmed from in-game UI, post-distillation item retrieval controls remain under verification across ongoing gameplay footage.
Troubleshooting & Common Roadblocks
🔍 Production Checklist & Error Prevention
- Alcohol Recipe Missing: Ensure the recipe has been researched in your tech tree and that Anatomy Mastery 3 is unlocked.
- Queue Button Greyed Out: Check that the station's fuel meter has at least 20 fuel points, and verify that both 1 Wine and 2 Clay Urns are present in your carried inventory.
- Wrong Urn Type: The recipe specifically requires Clay Urns, not Ceramic Pitchers or Glass Containers.
