Distilling bushels of grain does not give grain distilling bonus

If you buy the extra 20% bonus for distilling grain but shove a whole bushel of grain into the still it only credits you 250 grain, where it would be more for individual grains.

Maybe this is a feature to get us to unbundle the bushels before distilling, but seems like an oversight.

  • I've noticed this too.

  • I think how it might work is this: I got the same upgrade, but when I collected my Hooch this morning, I actually received 38 instead of the requisite 35 I've always gotten, so maybe it's in the amount you get out rather than what you stuff in that's changed?

  • The stills are acting really odd.  I have all three upgrades, grain, corn, and potatoes.  I am able to overfill them past 500 now.  One still is currently filled to 544/500 with 49 corn and a bushel of grain.  That's 6 units/corn and 250 for the grain.  The other still started at 4 and filled to 538/500 with 89 corn.  Again 6 units/corn.  I cannot fill it any further even though I have loose grain and corn.  My yield seems higher, but I'll have to post what I get in a bit because I haven't been paying that close attention.

    OK, this is definitely bugged for me.  I got 38 hooch from each still, which is 14 units/hooch. (12 left in the first still, 6 left in the second.) This is the default if the Glitch Wiki has it correct.  For me all the cards did were allow me to overfill stills by ~9%, using more grain/potatoes/corn.  It is not increasing yield/unit of corn/grain at all either as credit when filling the still or better efficiency.

  • Yes, I think Lucille is onto something.  My still seems to be taking the same number of potatoes that it always has, but then saying that it's overfilled and giving me extra hooch.  Confusing, but I'm still happy with it :)

  • At least for the loose grain, when I drop in 100, it says I've dropped in ?120? (don't remember exact) units. And it still allows me to drop in 500 but gives me the extra credit up front. So I think it is calculating capacity first based on raw # and then tacking on the % bonus from your card. Then it distills down.

    But since a bushel used to count as 250 grain and still counts as 250 grain, where if I unbundle it I get the ?300? grain credit for it. Seems a bit silly. Maybe the twine binding the grain soaks up that extra hooch. :P
