Is there a Distillation Cube II in this build?

No. The game data contains a single Distillation Cube station; the Cube I / Cube II split from Graveyard Keeper 1 does not exist in this build. If you saw a second tier referenced elsewhere, it is from the full game or from the first game.

What does the cube make?

Nine recipes: Melted Fat from Fat or from Seed oil, six alcohol conversions (Wine, Mead, Beer and the three ciders into Alcohol) and Fragrance from Rhododendron. Every one of them costs 20 Fuel and 2 Clay containers.

Does the cube need research or a zombie?

It unlocks with the Alchemy, Distillation research (5 red / 5 green) and costs 2× Wooden Plank + 12× Brick. It is flagged as zombie-operable in the game data, so it is a good automation candidate once you have workers.

Where can the cube be built?

Only in the Alchemy Lab: the game offers it from that work zone's build desk, not from the yard. Players report the laboratory has room for a firewood shed of its own, which is the usual way to keep 20 Fuel a batch coming.

How long does a batch take, and where does the Fuel come from?

6 ticks on the Melted Fat route from Fat and 8 on the other eight recipes; a bench tick runs about 15 seconds, so that is roughly 90 and 120 seconds (see the ticks page — the length is per workbench). Fuel comes out of the Firewood shed, which turns 2 Firewood into 20 Fuel — exactly one batch — and Firewood comes from the Chopping Spot.

Graveyard Keeper 2 distillation cube

The Distillation Cube is the fuel-burning half of the game's alchemy. Every batch costs 20 Fuel, so its real price is the firewood you have to keep feeding it — and in this build there is exactly one cube, not the two tiers Graveyard Keeper 1 players expect.

Costs and research come straight from the game data, and “Where” is the work zone whose build desk offers the building — the game’s own placement record. “No research listed” means the page has none to show: either this build records none, or the game ships no name for it. In practice these rows are gated by materials, not by the tech tree.

“Inspiration lv” is the level this station’s own inspiration track has to reach — below it the recipe is not offered. “Needs” is the extension that has to stand next to the station before the recipe appears.
