The distillation setup includes a total of three steps, and should be done in a certain order to avoid placement headaches.<br> | |||
The first object that should be placed is the boiler. Arrange it so there is at least one block space to one side of the boiler - this is where the condenser can be placed in the next step. Additionally, there needs to be room to access the boiler itself, since the third step of the setup needs a campfire to be placed below the boiler.<br> | |||
The condenser can be {{SneakClick|placed}} while targetting one side of the boiler, and will then be put down on the block next to that side. It is technically possible to have more than one condenser attached to the same boiler, however only one condenser will be used at the same time.<br> | |||
The next step requires a campfire to be set up under the condenser. Unfortunately, even when targetting the space below the boiler correctly, it might happen that the player will set down a grass on the block they are on first and only in the second click set it correctly below the boiler. Therefore, the player may either waste one grass, or pre-emptively set down an item (such as a loose stone or a bowl) on the block they are standing on, directly beside the boiler, to avoid this from happening. The same issue repeats when trying to place the firewood to finish the campfire.<br> | |||
The campfire should only be ignited once the condensation process can start! | |||

Once the setup is complete, the boiler needs to be filled with an alcoholic beverage - either fermented alcohol or once distilled alcohol - and the condenser needs to be filled with water. Before starting the process, a bucket needs to be placed under the condenser snout. | |||
The boiler can be filled with up to 30 litres of the same alcohol, whereas the condenser can hold 10 litres of water at a time. The campfire below the boiler can take up to 4 pieces of firewood each time, which amounts to a burn time of 8 hours. At the moment, it is not possible to directly open the firepit GUI and input more than 4 pieces - nor is it possible to restock fuel during the process.<br> | |||
Therefore, a distillation can be started and then left to work on its own. The player only needs to return after 8 hours to restart the fire with new fuel - however, this will waste fuel, as explained below.<br> | |||
Before the condensation process starts, the boiler temperature needs to reach about 78°C, this will take 0.2h of the initial fuel time. The temperature of the boiler will not rise above 100°C. After the fuel is consumed or the alcohol has been processed, the boiler will show as "cold" and the campfire will be extinguished automatically. However, if firewood or alcohol is restocked fast enough, the campfire will ignite again automatically. The temperature will sink during the time the campfire is out, and will rise up again to reach 100°C.<br> | |||
Once the campfire has been fired through once, it does not require the full 4 pieces of firewood placed down to be started again, and therefore smaller amounts of alcohol can be processed without wasting too much fuel. Similarly, the remaining fuel time of a distillation process once all source alcohol is gone remains and can be used towards the next process. | |||

Below is a table of required source alcohol, water and fuel to receive a certain amount of distilled alcohol. The time needed includes initial heating time and the firewood needed takes into consideration, that 4 pieces are needed to start the first fire - the second number in brackets displays the actual need.<br> | |||
