Build cost and unlock

Technology: Alchemy, Distillation — column 4 of the Anatomy and Alchemy tree, 5 red and 5 green tech points. It also unlocks Melted Fat and the Starter Alchemist's Kit, and leads to Reanimation.

Build it in the Alchemy Lab for 2 Wooden Plank, 2 Bronze Detail and 12 Brick.

It is an Anatomy station (mastery 1–3) that a zombie can work.

Melted Fat and Fragrance

Melted Fat: 1 Fat + 2 Clay Plate + 20 Fuel → 4 (7 with the perk), 6 ticks, mastery 1.

Melted Fat: 3 Seed oil + 2 Clay Plate + 20 Fuel → 3 (5 with the perk), 8 ticks.

Fragrance: 2 Rhododendron + 2 Clay Urn + 20 Fuel → 3 (5 with the perk), mastery 2. Unlocked by Church Smells I.

Melted Fat goes into 11 recipes, including Oiled Plank, Polished Bronze, Ink and both incenses.

Alcohol — which drink to distil

All Alcohol recipes need 2 Clay Urn and 20 Fuel, take 8 ticks at Anatomy mastery 3, and unlock with Reanimation Liquid.

Any Wine → 4 Alcohol (7 with the perk). By far the best return.

Beer or Blueberry Cider → 2 (3 with the perk).

Mead, Apple Cider or Berry Cider → 1 (2 with the perk).

Alcohol makes Dynamite, Solution for Zombies and Injection for Zombies, and is an alchemy ingredient (3 blue runes).

The Cube distillations perk

An Anatomy talent perk for 1 inspiration point, after the first Anatomy mastery upgrade.

Melted Fat 4→7 or 3→5, Alcohol 4→7, 2→3 or 1→2, Fragrance 3→5.

It leads to the Formula one perk.

Fuel

Every recipe burns 20 Fuel. A Firewood shed turns every 2 Firewood into 20 Fuel, so each batch costs about 2 Firewood.

Short logs go to the Chopping Spot, firewood goes to the Firewood Shed, and fuel supplies heat-based stations in the same area.
