Fermentation Crock
The Fermentation Crock is A & A Cooking’s timed fermentation station.
Inventory
Section titled “Inventory”The Crock has:
- 4 input slots
- 1 output slot
- maximum 1 item per input slot
The input restriction makes each fermentation execution explicit rather than allowing one input slot to hold an entire stack.
Processing behavior
Section titled “Processing behavior”Fermentation progress:
- persists through save and load
- pauses when the output slot cannot accept the result
- resumes when the output becomes available
- preserves input freshness through the shared output inheritance system
- can continue through queued recipe executions when the required ingredients are available
