v0.31:Milk
| This article is about an older version of DF. |
Template:Elven Milk is a product Template:Led from milkable Template:L. Milk can be made into Template:L, used in cooking prepared meals or consumed as is (counts as food, not drink).
Female versions of certain animals are milkable. Milking is done at a farmers workshop, milk creature, and requires an empty bucket. The bucket will then be emptied into an empty barrel or fitting milk barrel on a food stockpile. Creatures assigned to cages can be milked.
Confirmed to be milkable:
- Donkey
- Cow
- Horse
- Camel
- Purring Maggot
The milker will not necessarily pick the closest animal available.
The frequency with which animals are able to be milked is marked in the RAW files with the following tag: [MILKABLE:LOCAL_CREATURE_MAT:MILK:20000]. In this case, it is a Cow and the time period is 20000 ticks, at roughly 1200 ticks per day.
Known Issues
After finishing a milking job, the milker may generate a cancellation message if trying to take another job immediately: Urist McMultitasking cancels job, handling dangerous animal. They will subsequently just leave the milked animal to wander away on its own and retask anyway.
