Usage

Assembly

A lever is built into the press as its clamping handle.

Supplying materials

Dedicated material slots accept only materials used in that role. Empty slots stay blank and show materials after insertion. Quick moves from your inventory and hopper insertion follow the same restrictions.

Pressing shima tofu

Fill the ingredient slots with yose tofu; the lever presses out water to make firm shima tofu.

Input, work in progress and output

Restock the input slots on the left. A valid batch moves into the bright working slots in the middle, then finishes in the output slots on the right. Restocking or replacing input does not change that batch. Working items can be recovered, but cannot be inserted directly. Removing part of a batch cancels it; recover the remainder before starting another.

Slot layout and supply

One input supplies both working slots. One item is reserved in each slot, and processing starts when the pair is complete.

Behavior

Visible processing

A few drops fall from the lowered press while it works.

Why not a stone

A stone can only take out so much water. Levered tofu comes out firm enough to keep its shape in a hot pan.
