How to Make Vegetable Oil for Bug Recipes

Why You Need Vegetable Oil

Vegetable Oil is a required ingredient in bug cooking. Many Fryer recipes use it alongside raw bugs, so running out of Vegetable Oil stalls your food production. Keep a buffer stock at all times.

Produce and Store It

Make Vegetable Oil and store it in a chest next to your Fryer. Keeping it in the same spot as your cooking station means you never have to leave the Fryer to restock mid-batch. Treat Vegetable Oil as a consumable you top up regularly, the same way you top up raw bugs.

Use It in the Fryer

When you load raw bugs into the Fryer, add Vegetable Oil for the recipes that call for it. The raw bugs you will be cooking include Aphid, Camel Spider, Carpenter Ant, Centipede, Cicada, Cricket, Crimson Tiger Beetle, Dung Beetle, Fire Ant, Grasshopper, Jumil Bug, Locust, Scarab, Scorpion, Slugs, Sow Bug, Termite, Wood Termite, and Witchetty Grub. Each produces its Cooked counterpart.

Keep the Pipeline Running

Pair Vegetable Oil production with a Bug Zapper so raw bugs keep arriving while you cook. With bugs coming in from the Bug Zapper and Vegetable Oil stocked beside the Fryer, you can process full batches of Cooked Aphid, Cooked Cricket, Cooked Scorpion, and the rest without interruption.
