All mammals should give milk

Post by sabinati »

I was very excited to see that there are different types of milk now, however, there is a BIG problem because not all animals that should give milk, because they do in real life, give milk in the game. It was a HUGE disappointment to find out that my pigs do not give milk. I propose that all mammals should be milkable, we should have milk from pigs, horses, rabbits, rats, and even all wild animals if you use a clover on them: bear milk, deer milk, boar milk, badger milk, fox milk, and even bat milk.

Here is a picture of a real life rat milking operation to support my arguments:

I mean it makes sense but I think this is on par with cannibalism as far as in-game mechanics would go. We'd raise and breed alts for meat, milk, and skulls.

Why not? Sheep milk is drank in some (weird) places of the world.

Hmm interesting... Imagine being able to play as cow and have minigames for eating grass and breeding to create best cows possible!

Sheep milk's already in game, though.

No, they still aggro and attack you. You can just milk them while they're eating you.
