Milk storage

We need some way to store milk in larger quantities then buckets in a cupboard.

No we don't.

You use milk for two things: butter and cheese. If you're making cheese you can store it in 100l curding tubs.

If you're making butter there's no reason not to make it into butter, which is slightly more "space-friendly" than milk. A cupboard of butter holds 64 pats of butter or 224l worth of milk. Either way you look at it, that's a shit ton of milk in one container. Hell even if you just fill the cupboard with buckets that's 160l in the same sized container as a 100l barrel.



Although it does seem to me that any container should be usable with any liquid. I guess you wouldn't want to use the same bucket for your milk and vinegar, but washing your dishes occasionally does wonders for your health.

I believe there's serious coding issues with containers at the moment. I don't remember or understand them, but basically it means changing containers is harder than it seems lke it would be.

And an automated milking process.

Don't be asinine. I'm not tlaking about machines. I'm just talking about repeat collectionof resources like digging got and apples should have. Nothing out of theme just an additional game mechanics to cut down on the grind factor.

I imagine domesticated cows will not have unlimited milk to produce.

And neither will the wild ones.

I predict a surge in cheese prices when domestication gets implemented.

Cheese needs some nerfing anyway. As it is, there's no point eating anything else.
