Seed Paste is an oily mash made by grinding seeds on a Stone Mill. It is the middle step between a seed harvest and a bottle of Vegetable Oil.
The paste matters to a settled farm that grows flax, hemp or sunflowers. It turns surplus seed into cooking oil once a Hand-Operated Press is built. It is also edible, and very rich in fat and calories. Its cost is a short shelf life and an unpleasant taste.
Seed Paste is only crafted. It comes from milling Flax Seeds, Hemp Seeds or Sunflower Seeds. 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 Mill Seeds recipe grinds 30 Flax Seeds or 30 Hemp Seeds into one Seed Paste. The Mill Sunflower Seeds recipe needs only six Sunflower Seeds for the same result. Both are done at a Stone Mill.
The Press Oil recipe turns Seed Paste into Vegetable Oil. It runs at a Hand-Operated Press. An Oil Press, a Stone Block and a Cheese Cloth are all needed, and all three are kept. Seed Paste held in a bowl works for this recipe too.
The paste can also be eaten in a pinch. One portion fills the stomach well and carries over two thousand calories, almost all of it fat. That makes it a strong food for a starving survivor. It also makes the eater a good deal unhappier, so it is best kept for hard times.
Upkeep
Seed Paste spoils fast. It stays fresh for about three days and is fully rotten after about five. Milling should happen close to the time the press is ready. Paste that sits too long is wasted.

Locations
Seed Paste is made at a Stone Mill from Flax Seeds, Hemp Seeds or Sunflower Seeds. Sunflowers give the most paste for the least seed.
Notes
- Six Sunflower Seeds make as much paste as 30 Flax Seeds or Hemp Seeds.
- The paste is the only step between seeds and Vegetable Oil.
- Eating it fills a survivor up but lowers mood sharply.
- It rots within days, so mill only what the press can use soon.
