Distillation Cube
The Distillation Cube is the only thing that makes Melted Fat, and Melted Fat is what the barricades in the Barracks ultimately wait for. Once loaded it works by itself: 1 Fat, 2 Clay Plates and 20 Fuel make 4 Melted Fat, or 3 Seed oil, 2 Clay Plates and 20 Fuel make 3.
It comes with Alchemy, Distillation (5 red, 5 green) and costs 2 Wooden Planks, 2 Bronze Details and 12 Bricks. It is an Anatomy workbench: starting a batch needs Anatomy mastery 1, and your hammer and axe do not count toward it.
It can only be built in the tower laboratory, and its technology hangs from the alchemy technology that Albert gives you, so there is no cube before his part of the story. The laboratory has room for a Firewood shed of its own, which the cube needs for Fuel.

Notes
- The Seed oil recipe is not shown on the technology, but Alchemy, Distillation unlocks it. Seed oil is pressed from 4 seeds at the Millstone, and Herm sells wheat seeds.
- One batch covers the barricades either way: 4 Melted Fat make 16 Oiled Planks, and two barricades need 4, six need 12.
- A batch takes 90 seconds (6 steps of 15 seconds).
