'Milking'
« on: April 08, 2010, 08:00:57 pm »

Is it possible to create a sheep and have the dwarves 'milk' it for wool?  What about 'milking' a plant animal for seeds or something?

EDIT: I stand corrected.

No idea how to go about it, but that's the important tag.

I tried to get a cat milked for fur, just as a proof of concept. What I got was liquid 'cat fur' in a bucket. Since it's milked into a bucket, it might be stuck as a liquid but you might be able to get solid fur milk in a bucket, or just rename the liquid state. I couldn't get the reactions working, but I would guess you could make a bucket full of fur or wool milk into cloth, although it could still make it into +sheep wool cheese+.

The reaction would require it to still be in the bucket and searching for the bucket as a reagent as well.
Containers and/or reagents in containers in reactions are still finicky, but not quite as broken as they used to be.
