Cheese Cloth is a loose, thin woven cloth used for straining. Its job is pressing oil: it holds the seed paste while a press squeezes out Vegetable Oil.

The cloth is kept after each pressing, so one piece lasts through many batches. It can be woven on a Loom from Thread, and it also turns up in sheds, closets and farm buildings. The Carpenter is the best occupation for materials. It starts with the most Carpentry skill. For Welding, the Welder starts strongest.

Uses


The recipe Press Oil uses it. Thirty Seed Paste, or bowls of seed paste, go into the press. An Oil Press, a Stone Block and the Cheese Cloth are all kept. The work is done at a Hand-Operated Press. The result is one Vegetable Oil.

Vegetable Oil is a cooking fat, so the cloth is part of a self-made kitchen supply.

Locations


Cheese Cloth is a fairly common find in work spaces. Closet crates, farm storage shelves and shed counters, shelves and other containers each give it a decent chance. Studios, warehouses and barns hold it a little less often. Living room counters and survivor caches in large buildings have a modest chance. Garages, kitchens, storage units and attics turn it up only rarely.

Notes


  • One cloth serves for every pressing, so a single piece is enough.
  • Sheds and farm storage are the quickest places to find one.
  • Weaving one costs twenty Thread, so a found cloth saves a lot of thread.
