The fruit press is a machine that turns fruit into juice and mash. This lowers the satiety of each fruit but extends its freshness. The juice can then be turned into alcohol and the mash used to feed animals.

Creation

Crafting a fruit press necessitates one ingot, a hammer, and a chisel. The specific metal type is inconsequential; it doesn't need to be the same for all three components.
The primary material for crafting a fruit press is wooden boards, obtainable only through the use of a saw, which, in turn, can only be smithed on an anvil.
While ingredients like resin and fat can theoretically be found as early as the Stone Age, ensuring a sufficient supply may require exploring for pine trees with leaking pine logs, as well as hunting or domesticating wild pigs or bighorn sheep.

Juicing

Different areas on the fruit press can be interacted with in different ways.

The fruit press is operated by hand only and cannot be automated. It requires focus to prevent spoilage and waste of ingredients.
To produce juice using the fruit press, the following additional items are required and recommended:

  • A bucket or a fired clay jug to collect the fruit juice.
  • An appropriate amount of fruit of the same kind - all berries, as well as saguaro fruit, and all fruit that comes from fruit trees (including breadfruit) can be juiced.
  • (optional) An empty barrel for transferring the juice.


The fruit press has 3 areas of interaction. With the aid of image these are:

  • Output (1)
  • Input (2)
  • Screw (3)

To create juice, follow the steps:

  1. Place an empty container such as a bucket or jug under the press (1). A filled container will not work, even if creating the same juice.
  2. Supply the input (2) with fruit which is added 4 pieces at a time. At least 16 pieces of fruit and not more than 32 must be added for the press to function.
  3. Interact with the screw (3) until fully pressed.
  4. Wait for the juice to fill the container. The info overlay will display the current progress.
  5. Release the screw.
  6. Collect the fruit mash from the input which can be used to feed pigs and sheep.
  7. Collect the container which now contains the juice.

When working with a filled fruit press and squeezing out the juice with a fully wound screw, you will be able to see the juice flow process in the fruit press tooltip. You will get 10 liters of juice after a few seconds.
To make the most out of the available fruit, it is recommended to calculate the available space against the number of required fruits. One bucket can hold 10L worth of juice, whereas one jug can only hold 3L worth. It is possible to process 20 fruit and catch the juice using 2 jugs with minimal losses, however, given the fact that a player able to build a fruit press should be able to craft buckets as well, it is recommended to use buckets instead to minimize juice loss.

Fruit Amount Mash Layers Resulting Juice (Litres)
16 4 5.0
20 5 6.2
24 6 7.5
28 7 8.8
32 8 10

Fruit Mash

When inputting fruit into the press it results in fruit mash - this holds true both before and after pressing, however, the amount of mash will reduce after squeezing out juice. Apart from its usage in producing juice, this mash can only be used as fodder for pigs and bighorn sheep.
Fruit mash can be placed in a large trough, with 2 mash equaling 1 portion of feed.

Benefits of Juice

  • Fruit juice can be stored in bowls, jugs, buckets, and barrels and therefore potentially uses less storage space than the fruit it was made from.
  • Since update 1.16.4-rc.1, both juice and cider in the game will start to decay. The only option for long-term storage is to process the juice first into cider and then into once distilled alcohol. However, in this process, all fruit nutrition value as well as some satiety will be lost.
  • 10L of any juice gives 2000 Satiety , which means a bowl of juice will grant the player 200 satiety.
  • Each piece of fruit turned into juice provides 62.5 satiety, which is a loss, but extends the freshness by 250%.
