Potion station

Fermentation Barrel Guide

Quick answer

The Fermentation Barrel upgrades Tier 3 potions into more powerful Tier 4 versions. It remains relevant after direct-healing potions were removed because stat potions continue to exist.

What the barrel does

The station is an upgrade step, not a replacement for every potion recipe. Bring an eligible Tier 3 potion to the barrel to progress it to Tier 4. Exact eligible names and ingredient costs should be verified individually before recipe pages enter the sitemap.

Health-rework context

Update 0.12 moved direct healing toward food and fish, but it did not remove stat potions. The barrel therefore supports preparation buffs rather than rebuilding the old healing-potion loop.
