hey im a complete utter newb when it comes to this so bear with me XD.

anyways, I'm making a new domestic creature clled a cave cow. and i was wondering if and how you make it yeild more milk and cheese. Do you just increase the seven or what?

code:

  [EXTRACT:cave cow's milk:7:0:1]

thx in advance for any help.

The numbers at the end control the color.  "7:0:1" is bright white.  There's an article about color on the dwarf fortress wiki, and it's quite handy.

And so far as I know, it is impossible to make a creature yield more milk than otherwise.  However, animals any larger than a purring maggot (or rat, bat, lizard, pixie and so on) cannot be milked, due to the way that milking is handled.  Despite the fact that you can buy milk and cheese that supposedly come from cows and camels, you can't milk any of them yourself.  Just maggots.

A moot point, considering as far as I'm aware, you can only milk Purring Maggots due to some internal bug concerning Milking in general (I believe you need to be able to hold the animal at the same time you milk it, and Purring Maggots are the only ones small enough)

EDIT: Kagus beat me to it. The risible scamp.
