The Oil Press is a wooden pressing tool built from a plank and nails, used to squeeze oil from seed paste. It is one part of the setup for making Vegetable Oil.
It suits a farmer who grows oil seeds and wants a home-made supply of cooking oil. The in-game tooltip says it is used to press oil on a Press. It is light and cheap to make. Its cost is the rest of the setup it needs around it.
The oil press is crafted by any survivor with Carpentry level 2. The Carpenter is the best occupation for tools. It starts with the most Carpentry skill. The Construction Worker and the DIY Expert also start with some Carpentry skill.
Using
The press is used in the Press Oil recipe at a Hand-Operated Press. The recipe takes thirty portions of Seed Paste or Bowl with Seed Paste. The Oil Press, a Stone Block and a Cheese Cloth are all needed and kept. The result is one Vegetable Oil.
Seed Paste is milled at a Stone Mill from Flax Seeds, Hemp Seeds or Sunflower Seeds. A field of those crops therefore feeds a full oil chain, from seed to paste to oil.
Because the press is kept, one press serves for every batch. The paste is the part that runs out.
Upkeep
The Make Oil Press recipe builds a new one from a Plank and Nails. A hammer and a saw are needed and kept. It asks for Carpentry level 2. A spare is easy to make from scraps in any workshop.
