The Bright Retort

A bright retort distills without murk: what is lost goes into silt, not into the land. Reforge a fluxsteel retort in brightsteel: it distills just as fast and loses the same twelfth. With a Settling Vat nearby the loss settles there, and without one, in a box under the retort's own hearth. Take the silt in the retort's window, crouching with an empty hand, or by hopper from below; when the box is full, losses go to murk again.
