Milk

[toon]

Branching off from the Rice Milk, is it not possible to just make a machine that can only be used while a milk-giving animal is in town that produces milk?

[EchoMan]

It would require animal domestication, which is discussed someplace else. So I read.

[Piscator]

Either that or assume that milk-bearing animals are semi-feral and can be milked just like that. All we would need for that is a check that looks for animals with milk at the present location. Then it wouldn't be a problem to add a project to the bucket that allows you to create milk if e.g. cows are present. Not exactly full-scale domestication, but a compromise I could live with.

Similar abilities with other animal products such as wool and dung should also be considered at the same time as milk.

Dung, maybe. But I can't really see where you are going with wool... I suppose you could get it off of a sheep, of course, but as far as I know, there are no razors in game. (?)

[Piscator]

Scissors? You don't shave a sheep, you shear it.

[toon]

lol yes. I wasn't talking about full-scale domestication, I was just talking about a machine that all it would take is checking to make sure that a milk/wool/dung/whatever else-giving animal was present. At least something temporary until animal domestication can be sorted out or whatever is happening with that.

[Polt86]

Maybe animal groups that are being "used" are temporarily more aggressive, to simulate discomfort on their part.

It would be funny to see:

"You see a man in his twenties get kicked by a dwarf cow."

or something similar.

[Piscator]

The secret is warm hands and a gentle touch.

So Since this wasn't moved to accepted, I guess it's a no?

[Doug R.]

It wasn't moved to rejected, either. It's in suggestion limbo for now.
