In The Front, you can make Alcohol using Fermenter. After more than 200 hours in The Front, we have become experts in the game, and have learned almost all the details of making various resources, including Alcohol, which can be used to make explosives and drinks.
Contents of the Guide: In this guide, you will discover what materials you need to get to make Alcohol and how to use them in Fermenter. Also, you are going to learn what items you can craft using it.
The main and only ingredient from which Alcohol is made in The Front is Wheat. To craft one bottle of alcohol, you will need 50 pieces of this material. However, when you first install Fermenter on your base and try to make Alcohol, you may be confused by the fact that its Consumable Bar does not accept Wood or other burnable materials.
Actually, the Consumable that you need to use in Fermenter is Hops, which are used in the fermentation of various items and 1 Hops will be equal to 1 minute of Fermenter work. So, now that you know what you need to make Alcohol using Fermenter, you can follow the instructions listed below to learn how to get these resources:
You can get this resource from the Poppy flowers. First, when you don't have this flower on your plantation yet, you'll have to go to the alligator swamp area, which is located in square K12 on the map, and farm these flowers to get seeds. Then, you can start growing them yourself, for example in big planters. Note that to get more seeds, you'll need to collect them one stage before they're ripe, unlike Hops, which you'll only get when they're fully mature. Also, the best tool to collect Poppies is the Sickle.
This resource is pretty basic in the game, so you shouldn't have any trouble getting it. However, keep in mind that it is best grown in big planters, as you can get around 550–600 pieces from just one planting, which is equal to about 11–12 bottles of alcohol.
Once you've gathered all the resources you need, simply place the Hops in the Consumable Bar of Fermenter. It takes 5 seconds to produce 1 Alcohol, so with 1 Hops, you can make up to 6 bottles of alcohol. Also, place enough Wheat in the Inventory Bar directly below the Consumable. You can earn a decent amount of experience for making Alcohol, as making one bottle will give you roughly 16-17 XP when you are near a Fermenter. In addition, alcohol will be a useful resource as you can use it in crafting explosives, as well as Ale and Sweet Wine.
