The Solar Distiller is a utility block that turns water into distilled water through evaporation and condensation (not to be confused with the Condenser). Distilled water is a plus when used in the Steam Generator as it prevents calcification in the machine. Use fluid ejector upgrades, pumps, or pipes with pump attachments to dispense the distilled water. You may also use cells with a hopper, ejector upgrade, or adjacent machine with the pulling upgrade. If you use a hopper/ejector upgrade/pulling upgrade, and you supply water via cells, the Solar Distiller will export both empty cells (from the left side, after draining the water) and distilled water cells.
As its name implies, the Solar Distiller must have an open view to the sky directly above it during the daytime to operate. When operational, it converts Water to Distilled Water at a rate of about 1 millibucket (mB) per 3.5 seconds, creating a full bucket of Distilled Water in about 1 real-life hour (6 in-game day cycles).
