A hollowed wooden mortar for pounding steamed rice into mochi; the pestle comes fitted to it.
Obtaining
Usage
Load it and wait
Load steamed glutinous rice and wait: it comes out as mochi, stretchy and smooth. No heat source is needed. The pestle only appears while the mortar is working, rising and falling into its hollow. White mochi is visible inside the hollow while pounding.
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
While working, a wooden mallet with a tall vertical head and a thin horizontal handle rises and falls over the mochi. Wood grain covers both the head and handle.
Behavior
One thing at a time
Pounding turns one thing into mochi, so it takes a single slot. To combine ingredients, use the suribachi.
