Paper Press
The Paper Press makes Clean Paper in bulk: one Paper glop pressed here gives 20 sheets. The glop is mixed at the Formulation Bench from a Water and 12 Flax, 3 at a time, so 12 Flax end up as 60 sheets. It comes with Paper Press (50 red, 10 blue, after Books II), which also gives the glop recipes, and costs 3 Wooden beams, 2 Bronze Gears and 6 Iron Details. It is built in the writing room under your house.

Notes
- It frees paper from corpses. Before it, the Clean Paper you make comes from skins: a skin makes 4 Leather Scrolls at the Writing Desk, and each scroll 6 sheets. The town Alchemist stall also sells paper.
- Wheat works too, but badly. 12 Wheat make only 1 glop, a third of what 12 Flax make.
- The Paper maker perk adds 10 sheets a pressing. It goes by whoever works the press; a zombie with the Dead printer talent gets it too.
- Pressing needs Book writing mastery 2, 2 energy a step.
- Dismantling it returns 2 Wooden beams, 1 Bronze Gear and 3 Iron Details.
