That's it.... Guess how many cheesemakers have immigrated to my place.... Answer, way too many. Currently that number is 12. 12! That is not counting the milkers. Currently we can't milk anything but purring maggots and I can't find those things anywhere. I have 20 pens full of roped cows; I'm pretty sure I have one and two humped camels running around someplace too.

Thus, I'm modding in reactions to make milk: dwarven milk, cow milk, 1 and 2 humped camel milk....

So currently I have this:

[REACTION:FREE_COW_MILK]
[NAME:make COW MILK]
[SMELTER]
[PRODUCT:100:1:EXTRACT:NONE:CREATURE:COW]

[REACTION:FREE_2HUMP_MILK]
[NAME:make 2HUMP MILK]
[SMELTER]
[PRODUCT:100:1:EXTRACT:NONE:CREATURE:CAMEL_2_HUMP]

[REACTION:FREE_1HUMP_MILK]
[NAME:make 1HUMP MILK]
[SMELTER]
[PRODUCT:100:1:EXTRACT:NONE:CREATURE:CAMEL_1_HUMP]

[REACTION:FREE_DWARF_MILK]
[NAME:make DWARF MILK]
[SMELTER]
[PRODUCT:100:1:EXTRACT:NONE:CREATURE:MAGGOT_PURRING]

It seems to work except I cant get my dwarves to put it into barrels. Is there a way to make it come in a container or get them to do that? Is this a problem with liquid items made in reactions?

Also, what would be a proper reagent to balance this? Is that needed? If you think about it, you milk cows every morning, so it's not that unbalancing to have it as is with how time flows in game. However, the potential for abuse is there as a mod.

Ideas, questions, comments, rants, objects thrown in my general direction?

Have you checked that it is edible and cookable. Making it food will make your dwarves put it into barrels.

I think

Unfortunately, nothing that needs a container can be made at the forge, all it does is spill when it's made.

Your solution might be to try micro-cows. I've not tested this yet so I don't know if it will work correctly.

Of course that requires a regen, however I'm sure you can edit the entry for the existing cows to make them vermin sized which should allow them to be milked.

Trading a few plants of some sort would be a good reagent.

Yeah, there's issues with creating liquid in smelter reactions.

And with the next version, you can have each cow spit out 99 microcows and a calf every time it breeds.
