Nope. You must get the oil. Pumpkin Seeds in a Presser is probably your easiest way of getting it, but I recommend going for the Slaughterhouse, which produces 'Meat Ingots' that don't require oil.
Nuts. (Awesome pun intended)
Only problem is, I've never seen any of the seeds it seems to require for the presser. But I'll look into that and the slaughterhouse.
Edit: Wait a minute! We haven't seen the seeds because we've been eating the components! I need to re-craft asparagus, not eat it!

Thanks, even better there is a 1.7.10 version which works perfectly, and it works just fine with resource packs. The new zombie animation is amazing (for Minecraft).
Infinity expert mode:
I built the IE metal press muktiblock thing, only to find out that I need that to make the steel plate, to make the mold for the steel plate. Using a rolling machine makes a steel plate that isn't compatible. So, it looks like I need to make this whole other metal plate making machine, just to make the metal plate making machine I already built actually be able to make metal plate.
Wait, that's not a question.
I would appreciate it if the person responsible would stub their toe. Nothing broken, mind you. It's just a video game. But pain. Equalizing pain.
(If there's a question in here, it's, "anyone know any way around this?")

IC2 Metal Former - for all your plates, wires, item casings, fuel rods and metal fences. I have three in my base - one for just 'rolling', one that 'rolls' and then feeds into the third which 'extrudes'. (Some recipes need you to extrude from a plate.)
I appreciate it, and I'm sure that's a way better option ultimately, but I'm stillI kinda miffed here.
From everything I can tell, and Google confers, I outright need those to proceed, but they're more efficient and faster than the IE metal press, so It automatically makes it obsolete. The quest is essentially a dead end. There wasn't even a reward and it didn't open any other quests that I can tell. I get hard mode, but that's just mean! Lol

Oh, I hear you on the 'no reward' thing. I don't know if it's a thing in the world-gen version, but there's a special set of achievements in the Skyblock version that actually give you trophies. I think I went straight from the hammer method (Engineer's Hammer + 2 ingots=1 plate) to the IC2 method, though.
Sometimes I find using the hammer is good enough, if resources are not a major issue. A lot of time the hassle+resources to setup a machine + power system don't provide any actual benefit compared to doing a stack by hand.
I always end up removing the hammer+ingots to plate recipes, and provide a different way that isn't a grind and uses machines.
I'm guessing that the questbooks must be different between the Skyblock version and the worldgen version. My point was that I never even had to make the multiblock metal press.
It must be. This one specifically had me make the multiblock one. And gave no reward nor unloocked any quests. It honestly seems more like an oversight than an intentional mechanic. You'd think they'd promote building the slower one first then graduating to the more easily automated faster one later. I feel like steel should have worked with the hammer, tbh. And if not, then the steel plate mold should have been compatible with the steel plate you can make in a rolling machine.
I only know about the skyblock version, that said....
The IC2 metal former is really slow, until you can afford to fill it to the brim with speed upgrades. But that will take a while.
The IE metal press is way faster in comparison. Once I start building up autocrafting with LogiPipes, I build at least 2: one for plates and one for gears.
And you want to automate, that's how you get rid of the grind.
Of course, eventually, you'll replace them with something way faster still.
Well, that actually makes me feel a little bit better. I was beginning to think the only real advantage the IE press had was that it was cooler looking.
And hey, that still means something to me. Maybe it's not a total loss. I do still think it's a mistake in Infinity, though. This just doesn't seem intentional at all.

Okay - Blood Magic question.
I've determined that every time I log into my world, my stored LP in my 'soul network' resets. Anything that the orb has soaked up, gone. Not sure if this is a bug, a feature, or what, but it poses another problem.
I want to set up a Well of Suffering so I can make higher tier slates and such faster. This takes 50K LP to activate, which is about twice what my altar can hold (stupid Eldritch Guardians not dropping their Eyes). Not really a problem - I can fill up the altar, leave it in blood form, and get the rest in another session. I can probably do it all in one, if I can marathon it, but half the LP has to be put into the tenuous storage of the orb while I get the other half. The question is - when I log out and log back in again, will the ritual require reactivation? I can probably handle the maintenance cost until the mobs start spawning, but having to come up with 50K each session is going to be tricky, and I'd be just as far ahead using that 50K to make slates.

To be honest, I tend to stay out of creative. I guess I'm partly worried that I'll find out it doesn't have the same issues as my survival world - which would mean that something else is borked, possibly beyond repair.
