Milk
Milk is a raw food animal product obtained from tamed female animals of certain species only. Raw consumption does not cause negative thoughts and it counts as a meat ingredient for fine or lavish meals.
Handlers milk animals when they are ready, producing milk which will then be left on the ground. To avoid excessive hauling jobs, zone your milk-producing animals in a convenient animal area near your freezer.
Milk is interchangeable with meat for meal production. Milk has a slightly lower market value of 1.9 vs meat's 2, weighs more at 0.045 kg vs 0.03 kg, can be eaten raw without penalty, and lasts 14 days before spoiling instead of 2. Thus it is advantageous to sell your meat before your milk if you have an excess, and to buy milk from traders that come to you. For taking with your own caravans, meat is preferable due to its lower weight, so long as refrigeration isn't a problem, such as during winter or on very short trips,
The following animals produce milk:
Animal | Milk Amount | Milking Interval | Daily Milk Average | (Milk/Day)/Food consumed |
---|---|---|---|---|
Caribou | 10 | 2 | 5 | 11.36 |
Cow | 14 | 1 | 14 | 16.28 |
Dromedary | 18 | 2 | 9 | 10.47 |
Elk | 11 | 1 | 11 | 12.79 |
Goat | 12 | 3 | 4 | 11.11 |
Yak | 11 | 1 | 11 | 12.79 |
The milk production is halved when the animal is hungry, reduced to one third when it is urgently hungry, and completely stopped when the animal is starving.
