Some updates are being made to the Alcohol Still for 2026, including some new features to unlock. As usual, God Auction stills should have access to these features once they are live.

=New Recipes=
Pilsner
Jusora

=Alcohol Still: Alcohol Crate Unlock=
When unlocked, you will be able to SLAP your still to toggle between a single bottle or a crate.

Crates can hold between 2 and 10 bottles of alcohol. You can NUDGE the still to a specific number.

For OTS stills, you will need to add proportional amounts of ingredients based on the amount of bottles in the crate. This does include: ingredient 1, ingredient 2, and yeast. This does NOT include: water or flavor additives.

Charges are reduced proportionally, as well (a crate of 3 bottles would take 3 charges).

The still can be altered by any GALD merchant to adjust how the crate will appear. This includes: long, show, material, and read. The default crate appears as ‘a sanded wooden crate’.

Bottles in the crate are held weightlessly and are created on PULLing the crate.

Once the crate is empty, it is automatically discarded/deleted.

=Bottle Contraption: Crate Unlock=
When unlocked, this expands the contraption to allow you to adjust the look of all bottles within a crate, as well as add in candy/gummy bugs or gem bug stoppers (if those features are unlocked).

Additionally, this lets you store up to 10 materials (and 10 gem bug stoppers if unlocked). You can select a specific material/stopper for single bottles. You can view stored materials/stoppers with PONDER.

When applying materials/stoppers to the bottles in the crate, the contraption will use any materials/stoppers added first before falling back to the default material/stopper.

All bottles in the crate will receive the selected design/label/etching.

Charges are reduced proportionally based on how many bottles are in the crate.

Also adding a QOL update where there will be a confirmation stop for adding in a flavor ingredient/additive so you can see how the flavor will appear before going ahead with that ingredient. So you don’t get surprised anymore if something goes in different than anticipated.
