I made a wheatextract, and have no clue now. If someone want to try something with it, just ask me
The item can not be macerated, not mixed in a kitchen -- Eigam

I also made a wheatextract, and spent the day looking for how to do something with it. I have tried nearly every building. The clue is "oven mixed with a few common ingredients" -- Sqatsi

Where is the oven part mentioned Sqatsi? I don't see that anywhere. But if so, does bread cook in a bread oven? Have you tried making bread while carrying extract to see if you can add it as an additive? Maybe we need to cook a huge batch of bread with the extract and feed it to the whole of Egypt to vaccinate everyone? -- Spicy

The oven part is mentioned in the translation on the screenshots. I wasted most of yesterday before I found it, the word was omitted on the translation on this main page. I am in the middle of experiments of using the emit/emir mortar, which presumably makes bread, while holding the wheatextract, hoping that I will be given the opportunity to add it at some point. If there is a bread oven separate from the mortar, I've not heard of it yet. -- Sqatsi

Arghh... but it depends totally how you translate the word emyv. When I originally translated it, I got e=o m=v y=e v=n. However, em=wh so it could just as likely, probably more likely even, mean when. Sorry, my fault in not translating it as both options. I think the oven thing may be a red herring? It translates both ways, but the when reads more grammatically. -- Spicy

from the calinder
A particularly robust looking trader, who goes by the name Falaha, has been spotted. Although he speaks an unusual tongue, perhaps communication is possible. What sorts of goods might he have?

Data on Attempted Growings of Wheat

Growing Abacua

Speculations to test out - Falaha said it needs to be grown on "clayish soil" and is "sensitive to soot". Try growing on clay with no raeli oven, or at a distance from a raeli oven, or on a patch with a raeli oven that has not been run for a long time.

A prototype CGI translator is available. It translates between Falaha and Egyptian. It's not perfect but it's quick and close enough for the moment.

What he said

• "I come to tradde goods. I have wheat, which I believe is foreign to this land."
• "I would like to find some herbs. What is that device on the ground?"Falaha frowns. (Womi? wena?)
• "bricks"
• "you build using bricks"
• "Do you have any herbs?"
• "thank you"
• "but I really would like some herbs"
• "straw. You use this to make bticks, right?"
• "I want herbs" "I'm sorry that I'm having trouble communicating with you..."
• "I'll be back a bit later"
  
• "linen and dates, thank you"
  
• "I am looking for herbs"
  
• "bricks, thank you"
  
• "would you do that again, but perhaps remove a garment or two?"
  
• "I'm sorry that I'm having touble understanding you"
  

• " I can answer some questions about wheat if you have any"
• "Ah a vaccine for this "lung spore" that i keep hearing about..."
• "yes, is fact wheat has..currative powers.."
• "the trick is to extract the essence from the wheat"
• "that is done by a kitchen, ?mano? thoushand wheat produces almost a drop of the extract. That's the bad news"
• "but the good news is that the single drop of extract, when oven mixed with a few common ingredients produces enough vaccine to cure entire nation"
• "well I must head off in a few minutes. Who still has a friend on the way with wild onion?"

• "I need 10 for wheat. Consider that a gift, Shivani."
