Flower Press

[Idlemind]

Why is it called a Flower Press?

I've been avoiding the skill because I thought it was lame decoration type skill or something, turns out its required for higher tier items like crafting crystals.

I just don't get the name, is there a story? It has nothing to do with pressing flowers.

You use flowers to press it. You dont press flowers. Yes, I know its a stupid name but thats the only plausible explanation.

From one of the concept arts in the Extras section:

Ah yes, the Flower Press.
After the closed beta was playable for a while, we realized we had a really bad Iron Ore shortage problem. Iron deposits would just randomly stop spawning and players would run out of it quickly.

The game needed an industrial structure that would turn flowers and herb surplus into basic minerals.

I asked Gaz to come up with a weird building that would allow players to "recycle" flowers into iron ore, and the crazy genius came up with this "Flower Press", that would crush flowers into iron ore.

I am not a scientist but that sounded about right.

Eventually the Iron shortage bug was fixed, but the Flower Press was here to stay.

Contrary to what you two have said, the Flower Press does indeed press flowers.
