Vegetable Rennet

If the new rennet is going to be more accessible for the noobs, it'll be more accessible for everyone in general, which will wreck the animal industry.

It could give less stats. Thus there still would be a need for animal made rennet.

Just a reminder that rennet used to require intestines in legacy, not suckling maws. Those were strictly for the goldbeater's skin to make silver and gold jewelry (and then it was "calf intestine").

Not sure why it was changed. Current system is overly burdensome. Factory farming shouldn't be needed to make enough artisan cheese to feed myself and my family. Revert please.

-1 cheese is endgame content. perhaps if this new rennet only resulted in generic gouda, or other such inferior cheeses.

which will wreck the botting industry.

I absolutely hate doing cheese every day. Move trays. Empty tubs into fresh trays. Slaughter bebes, butcher bebes. Milk parents. Refill tubs. Make rennet. Refill tubs. refill swill. Farm swill crops. Give up at some point while working down that list.

But it's an endgame industry, and it feels work-appropriate. A hermit can easily do small scale cheese production currently. Cutting maws out of the industry is removing a huge part of the work involved.

But it's not end game. You can have cheese production going in the first week of play. It is the top FEP production when set up properly, but that is the part that takes the time--the aging of the cheese--not the means to produce cheese all together.

Listen guys I dont understand why you've gone and got your nuts all twisted up over this.

A simple substitution of nettles - or perhaps another plant - for suckling's maw in the rennet recipe. You'll still need vinegar, you'll still need milk. Anyone committed to making more than a rack of cheese at a time will already have loads of dead babies laying around to harvest their sweet, sweet maws.

I, however, can never find the time nor will to have more than a handful of animals. I simply don't want to farm all day to feed a bunch of livestock. My request is a maw alternative so I can milk my one cow once a day and maybe go harvest some nettles and make a cheap - low quality because i dont breed livestock - cheese for funsies. I'm not asking to recreate the third reich with cheese here, I just want the ability to make cheese without supporting a whole family of livestock

[MagicManICT]

I think simply reverting back to legacy method is more than enough. That they make it so you can't get rennet production materials except from young animals is just not realistic or even a reasonable abstraction from the real methods.

Not sold on this. I like that the maws are relevant.
