Making cheese

Start with milk and a culture at a cheese vat. The vat uses one of each. The combination must be compatible, and the culture determines how long the curd takes.

Collect the curd when the vat finishes. You may also get a culture back. That chance depends on the culture and any propagation bonus.

Take the curd to a cheese press. Named recipes need a suitable curd style and a known recipe. Named war cheese recipes use arcane curd and require the matching spell recipe to be known.

Pressing spends the curd and the listed ingredients. Take the finished wheel before starting another batch at that press. You can also design your own war cheese there.
