Ichor and the Fluid Press

[❄️The Last Frontier 😊]

Ok so what do I need to do to get ichor from Fluid Press?

I was understanding PUTRID MEAT in it would do that but I have over 50 in there and nothing but odd part is when I first put something in there it gave me 1 ICHOR and then stopped. Is there a minimum amount of PUTRID MEAT that has to be put in there? Some have said fish do it but I have yet to see Ichor from fish.

Thoughts....

5 putrid meat = 1 Ichor

do I need to do anything specific in the press as I have 46 putrid meat in there at the moment and it's not doing anything just sitting there there is no tasks being performed on the right side panel at all

Why don't you kill spiders and harvest them with your pick to farm ichor? You get tons of ichor this way!

AH OK that would make sense then I should have the other 4 in there shortly as got a bunch of meat rotting in there as someone suggested just feeding meat into it and it would build up over tie and being I have lot of animals around the meats easy to get

not found spiders yet HA HA plus just got the game a week or so ago so still learning all this stuff. Videos help but somethings like this was just odd why it worked once but not again now I know why. My old house has a ton of putrid meat as I felt it had a purpose so been stock piling it there. Just have to go back to get it

Ah ok! :D
If you play in Exiled Lands... spiders can be found in caves most of the time and there is a big population with a big tarantula boss at H5. You can farm huge amounts of gossamar there with your sickle too! ;)

I believe exotic fish are supposed to produce ichor when cooked, but I haven't tested it to see if it's working.

yeah I seem to remember reading that also but again unsure on amount needed for 1 if thats the case.

prawns used to when cooked but that was removed a long time ago. i dont think cooking fish does, or ever has.

Then you'd be wrong. Unappetising fish used to give 1 cooked fish and 1 ichor when placed in a campfire, plenty of youtube videos on the subject. Somewhere along the line this got removed from the game.

These days, like SoulCreek suggests, I farm spiders for Ichor.

it used to be prawns

Scorpions and spiders will occasionally give ichor when you use your scythe on them. Also when you want oil from your press, use seeds instead of fish. You get oil a lot faster that way and without the need of placing the fish traps in the right spot which can sometimes be a pain in the @ss.

I was trying to check and see if cooking exotic fish actually did produce ichor, but now I've run into the whole "Must Be Placed In Water" issue surrounding the traps. And they now have to be baited.

Not to mention they now seem to take shaped wood to make ...

Fish Weirs were a thing in Neolithic times because they could, in fact, be made with a few handfuls of sticks and some woven grass twine. And they worked in shallow water, and they worked regardless of whether or not you had bait.

Fish traps seem to have gone from a simple, easy to make item that you could set and forget, to a tedious item that requires at least early tier crafting stations and micromanagement to actually use. I'm not seeing that as an improvement.

Not to mention, it depreciates the value of branches yet again.
