Oil

Oil is an incredibly versatile and flammable resource, it can be used in cooking, combat, crafting, machinery and more. it's a byproduct of many meat-based recipes and can be made through alchemy, culinary, industry and brewing, being pretty cheap in the market.

NOT ALL OIL IS SUITABLE FOR CONSUMING! Depending on the type of oil and how the it was made, you could give yourself food poisoning.

## How to obtain oil

#### Culinary

The easiest way to obtain oil is to roast, cook or grill meat. The different meat types yield different amounts of oil, with it being:

* Lean meat: no oil
* Natural meat: 100 ml / kg
* Rich meat: 200 ml / kg
* Fat meat: 400 ml / kg

Although carrying fat tissue arround may be a hurdle (1 kg per slot), roasting, cooking or grilling fat tissue is the most efficient way of acquiring oil, with the ratio being 800 ml / kg.

It is common for the oil to inherit properties or essences of the meat/fat it came from, so meat from a poisonous animal may yield oil with posion extract, i.e. poisonous oil.

#### Brewing

Amouts of vegetable oil (suitable for cooking) may be extracted from green plant matter and oilseeds through a complicated brewing process! It is a follows:

* Take off excess fiber material that may be in the vegetable matter (ex: Shelling castor seeds)
* Dry/dry cook the vegetable matter
* Finely crush the dry vegetable matter, creating a dirty mush of fiber and oil (appropriate tools include a pestle or pounder)
* Separate the mush by boiling it in water, fibrous matter will settle at the bottom and leave the vegetable oil at the top

Each one of this processes takes the equivalent of a short rest to be done.

Brewing oil is done best when in bulk, as a whole 1 kg of material yields 500 ml of oil and 0,6 of fibrous matter (waste).

#### Alchemy

Alchemy is able to translate between different types of oil, (purifying, mixing and refining to taste) or cleanse oil from any polluting and intoxicating substances it may have.

This happens by mixing purified oil with a little bit of any other oil or their waste, mixing throughly, letting it multiply and then cleansing it.

The substances that help purified oil translate into another form are:

* Animal oil: dried meat or fat tissue
* Vegetable oil: fibrous matter waste
* Crude oil: rotting matter (it is impossible to artificially produce any kind of mineral oil without the help of necromancy magic)

Purifying oil

The best way to purify oil is through a fine process of filtration and distillation, giving you 1 part of pure oil for every part of unpurified oil. Pure oil is the lightest oil and hardly has any taste, not really being good for culinary or lubrication.

#### Industry

With the help of the industrial press you can crush vegetable oil from any oilseed and green plant matter after they've been shelled, dried and cooked. The industrial furnace and industrial caldron can help in the drying and cooking process by dry cooking the matter, and the industrial shelling machine can help in taking off excess fiber material.

Pressing the oil out of vegetable matter yields 500 ml of oil per 1 kg of raw material. The whole process, from raw material to oil, usually takes arround 10 minutes to be completed.

Besides that, crude oil can also be extracted from the ground through oill wellls in a process called oil drilling. It is a fossil fuel that can be purified into many others, being the sole ingredient of things from gasoline to asphalt.
