Frozen Milk
« on: August 25, 2018, 02:57:40 pm »

How does one thaw frozen milk (without magma, which I do not yet have)? Upon embark, I had planned to get a cheese industry going very early, but my embark was cold, so all the milk froze. I thought that, when the river thawed, the milk would also naturally thaw. That was not the case. Now I have 9 barrels of frozen milk and an idle cheese maker. NEVERMIND -- it turns out that it just took a little more time to thaw naturally.

On a related topic, where is frozen milk stored? I thought all "globs" were stored as food, but my dwarves will not haul it to the food stockpile.

Move the Frozen milk to inside. Create a stockpile for food in a zone that never see the sunlight.

The temperature "Inside Dark Subterranean" is constant. The frozen milk will melt to liquid.

Don't use frozen milk as ingredient, or the entire meal will melt in a pool of liquid.

Afaik frozen liquids are bugged, you'll never be able to get it off the surface. I've had caravans leave behind barrels of like badger man blood or something because it froze while they were transporting it.

Will it stay solid if the workshop is out in the cold?
