–Item Description | ||
Overview[]
Pure Alcohol is a Materials category item. It is required component to craft Bandages and Herbal Meds. Alternatively, it can be consumed to alleviate depression.
A small amount (1 to 2) can sometimes be obtained from traders, or while scavenging - which may be enough for the player's needs. Otherwise, a reliable supply can be distilled from Moonshine by using an Alcohol Distiller. Crafting Pure Alcohol typically does not occur until the mid to late game due to the prerequisite structures (Advanced Workshop, Thermo Regulator, and the associated Electric Parts) required to build the Alcohol Distiller.
Crafting Cost[]
Bruno can craft Pure Alcohol for one less fuel than other characters. Crafting Pure Alcohol makes 2 Pure Alcohol for every 1 Moonshine.

Notes[]
- Unlike Moonshine, which takes one slot per unit, Pure Alcohol can actually stack up to 4, making it easier to manage during scavenging.
- Contrary to the description, each unit of Pure Alcohol is slightly less valuable than 1 Moonshine, and it mostly derives its price from each unit of Moonshine producing two units of Pure Alcohol.
- It is ill-advised to spend your resources on producing your own stockpile of Pure Alcohol, especially if you have Central Square location available to visit. Building a Moonshine Still and stockpiling on Moonshine instead is a much more advantageous option if you plan to use it exclusively for production of Bandages.(A moonshine still needs to make 9 moonshine before it breaks even, or 5 if you have both Marin and Bruno. Only decent if you have looted a lot of water and sugar)
