Alcohol

Obtaining

Alcohol in TFC+ can be obtained from a variety of sources. Alcohol is divided in two categories: Fermented Alcohol, which is made from fermenting fruits, vegetables and grains, and Distilled Alcohol, which is made from distilling Fermented Alcohol. Distilled Alcohol is a lot stronger than the respective Fermented Alcohol.

Malted Grains

Grain can be malted before fermenting to make beers. The advantage of malting instead making a wine directly from the grain is that malting increases the volume of the grain by 20%. To malt a grain, the place a Large Ceramic Vessel filled with fresh water on top of a lit firepit, add the grains to the vessel's item slot, then seal the vessel.

Because the grain expands in volume when malted, the player must leave room for the malted grain. If a full 160 oz stack is used, the recipe will show the expected output in the GUI, but will never complete since the output would be 192 oz. and stacks cannot exceed 160oz. If a full stack is cut into smaller portions and stacks of 80, 40, 10, and 2.5 ounces are combined into a stack of 132.5 oz (leaving a remainder of 27.5 oz) the recipe will result in 156 oz. of malted grain.

Note: After the grains have been malted, the player needs to cook them before they can be used to make beer.

Fermented Alcohols

See also: Barrel#Alcohol

To obtain Fermented Alcohol, the player has to seal 145-160 oz. of a fermentable item (or 30 items in the case of Agave) into a barrel full of fresh water. If the amounts are correct, the GUI of the sealed barrel will show the date sealed and the expected output. After 72 in-game hours, the fermentable items will be consumed and all the Water will turn into Alcohol. A full barrel of water only requires 145 oz of fermentable material. This amount can be obtained by cutting a full stack into smaller portions and combining stacks of size 80, 40, 20, and 5 ounces. This will leave a remainder of 15 oz. A full 160 oz. stack can be used, but the extra 15 oz will be wasted and has no effect.

The Large Ceramic Vessel can be used instead of a Barrel. Since it holds half as much water (5,000mB vs. 10,000mB) half the amount of the fermentable material is needed.

The type of Alcohol created depends on the item used. Using fruit, vegetables, or unmalted grains will result in wines. Malted grains will result in beers.

Note: Malted Grains and Potatoes must be cooked to produce alcohol.

Still

A Still can be used to create distilled Alcohols from Fermented Alcohols or to create Fresh Water and Salt from Salt Water.

To create a Still, the player has to put a Large Ceramic Vessel on top of a Firepit and then add a Ceramic Blowpipe in the vessel's item slot. They then need to put a another empty vessel adjacent to the main vessel to catch the product. If everything is set up correctly, the appearance of the distilling vessel should change to that of a clay still, signaling that the player is good to go. Once the liquid to be distilled is added to the vessel on the Firepit and the fire is lit, the product should begin to slowly fill the collection vessel as it is boiled off in the distilling vessel.

Distilled Alcohols

To obtain Distilled Alcohol, the player has to distill Fermented Alcohol in a Still. To start the process, start the firepit with a large vessel of fermented alcohol above it. After some time, distilled Alcohol will start to deposit in the receiving vessel. 25 mb of Distilled Alcohol is produced for every 200 mb of Fermented Alcohol. Using different kinds of Fermented Alcohols will result in different kinds of Distilled Alcohols.

Usage

Alcohol has a variety of uses. Fermented Alcohol can be drunk to restore a little thirst, and Alcohol in general provides a boost in experience after being drunk. Alcohol may also give the players random potion effects when drunk.

Barrels and Large Ceramic Vessels of Fermented Alcohol, if left unsealed and exposed to the sky, will turn into Vinegar.

Drunkenness

The player can become drunk if they drink too much Alcohol. There are three consecutive stages to drunkennes: Drunk, Very Drunk and Wasted. If the player is Drunk, the have a small chance of failing to interact with items such as chests and barrels. Should such a failure happen, it will be accompanied by a chat notification with the text "Oops!". Should the player continue drinking, they may become Very Drunk. While Very Drunk, they have a higher chance of failing to interact with items, will also find it impossible to use an anvil. The player's view will also be blurry. Should the player keep drinking, they will become Wasted. While wasted, the player's view will become even more blurry, the chance to fail interacting with items will grow and the player will also wobble side to side while walking. If the player decides to continue drinking past this point, they will probably die of Alcohol poisoning. Drunkenness will slowly wear off on its own.
