Bug Description:
When using Fluid Press it says that you need to put fish in there to make it produce oil. However if you put one fish nothing happens. then if you have like 20-30 fishes in there it only makes about 3-5 oil. There is only 2 fish types that produce oil and all the others won’t any. Witch makes perfected heavy padding making so slow if you are wanting to make high quality armor Silent legion etc.

Steps to Reproduce:
Please provide a step-by-step process of how the bug can be reproduced. Please be as detailed as possible; the more details, the easier it will be for us to find and fix the bug:
Step 1 Fluid Press
Step 2 Fish etc.
Step 3 3-5 oil out from 20-30 fishes
When fishes and seeds give so low amount of oil out from fluid press, It slows down making the hardened leather witch means when you need to have 31 hardened leather for one perfected heavy padding it makes almost impossible to craft high quality armor.
They changed the fish to oil ratio a while back to try to counter fish trap spam. Chuck a t3 alchemist on your alchemy bench and they can turn bark into oil. It’s actually way easier this way than fish to oil ever was.
Seeds in the press are pretty easy. The bark + ichor with an alchemist is a valid route, but I wouldn’t call it better as ichor is usually better spent on alchemical paste and to make orbs.
I don’t make alchemical base. Farming gold silver and ichor to produce stuff that you get stacks of 500 sometimes more from killing t3 bearers seems counter productive. All my ichor goes to oil. For me at least it’s easier.
I’m sure that T3 bearers will get the Alchemical Base nerfed soon enough. It’s pretty obvious that easy farming ichor is not supposed to be a thing, hence why shelled fish can’t be p̶r̶e̶s̶s̶e̶d̶ cooked for ichor any more.
Both farming spiders for ichor @arthurh3535, as well as farming Bearers for alchemical base @Darkzombie, are easy enough and have their place (to each their own). Both methods put yourself (somewhat) in danger and to be honest, I am very pleased there is more than one way to skin a cat. If we had multiple ways to farm everything else, it might make for more varied gameplay, which can help alleviate the stale taste some of us get for farming.
I literally found out this week that you can put ice, fuel and empty glass orbs in the bonfire with a cook and fill all the water bottles you want. Technically doesn’t even need the cook, but it speeds it up.
Well, I corrected your premise because you reached the wrong conclusion. They didn’t change the ratios to counter fish trap spam; the bait requirement and alchemy alternatives were implemented to counter fish trap spam.
The ratios are just in the opposite order of what they used to be, so the exotic fish produce more oil instead of the unappetizing fish producing more oil.
So it changed……. Lol why are ppl in this forum so nit picky
