I searched the Crops thread for the oil expeller. The original link is broken, but this is the product. (click picture for website)

Developed and handmade in the Netherlands!
You can make the best cold-pressed oil yourself with the unique presses from PITEBA
The press has a very high oil yield
And gives you the opportunity to squeeze your own pure untreated, unrefined oil.
You can squeeze seeds, organic or not, such as sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, peanuts, moringa, rapeseed, walnuts, jatropha, flax seeds (flax seeds), almonds, castor beans, coconut(coconut), safflower, soybeans and mustard seeds. The full list of the amount of oil per kilo of seeds can be found on the "How to squeeze oil" page on this website. You can make edible oil and cosmetic oil ( hair oil, skin oil ).

How to press oil
- Attach the PITEBA oil press to a sturdy table.
- Use the included small burner under the press. This makes the oil thinner (less viscous) and the oil yield higher. And it remains cold-pressed oil.
- Fill the funnel with seeds or nuts (10% moisture content).
- Turn the lever evenly, pressing the seeds or nuts and the oil flows out of the press at the bottom.
- Collect the oil in a bottle or container.

Oil
The pressed oil is turbid when it leaves the press. If you want a clear oil, leave it for a few days at room temperature. The oil will clarify.

An alternative to vegetable oil is microbial oil. Feed sugar to a microbe (single cell organism) to produce oil. Then extract the oil. You still have to produce sugar somehow. On Earth one method is to use waste that contains sugar. After pressing juice out of sugarcane, the pulp will still have a little sugar left. That pulp is used for a few purposes: grow mold to produce amylase, or grow mold to produce citric acid. This company uses it to grow algae or yeast to produce edible oil. I suggested doing this on the Large Ship.

The ‘Sustainable Oil’ That Michelin-Starred Chefs Are Obsessed With

How are these oils made?
Algae oil is produced using fermentation, microscopic-sized algae, and sugarcane. In a controlled environment inside fermentation tanks, algae are fed sugar, which encourages them to produce more oil inside each cell as they grow—as much as 80% by weight. The algae is then squeezed to remove the oil.
These products are made in Brazil, one of the world’s largest sugarcane producers. A similar process can also be used with certain yeasts, says Dr. Kyria Boundy-Mills, a microbiologist and curator of UC Davis’s Phaff Yeast Culture Collection. Though Zero Acre currently uses microalgae to produce its oil, its founders have a patent application in progress that mentions several different strains of these oil-producing yeasts with names like Rhodotorula toruloides or Yarrowia Lipolytica. (In fact, Zero Acre doesn’t specify “algae” in its branding—its website touts oil made from “microbes” in general, a broad term for any microscopic organism.)
