Tamed Beefalo should be milkable, change my mind

[JeezSorry]

Yes

 

also 100th post

They got horns, bro! I ain't milking that!

[Mantispidae]

If beefalo were to be milkable, you could definitely limit or complicate it in some way to make it work better, like having it take a cut of domestication or something so that it's not something you can really keep doing if you aren't actively taking care of and managing your beefalo, or maybe it gives a smaller dairy portion than you get from a volt goat. Maybe the beefalo just damn don't like it and have a chance to attack you for even trying/trying to soon after doing it once and not waiting for the cooldown properly.

That said, beefalo do have a lot going for them already, and I wouldn't mind the idea of mob "domestication" being expanded a bit or for alternative milk sources. More ways to get things so that you don't always have to do it one way are fun, and if that's goat domestication or vegan milks or whatever. Milk is supposed to be a somewhat limited item, but there plenty of ways you could still make it require effort while making it more assessible as a whole.

because they kick you

Limit it to pudgy tendency only. 

two birds with one stone, gives pudgy an unique advantage and adds a fun source of milk without needing to kill lol.

A better question is: Why do we have to kill the goats to get milk? Why do they have to be electrocuted and become more dangerous in order for milk to spawn in the first place? 

not you trying to make sense of a game where you can make Honey Ham using fish and 0 ham
and they have to be electrocuted because its electric milk

real goats have been domesticated even longer than cows

real goats were domesticated because they weren't becoming a destructive madlads when struck by lightning

There should be a better way to get milk from the goats, but Beef are no way to go imo. They already have so much going for them, so why not add something more interesting to a different mob that's only purpose is to be killed?

looking at saladmander, stonejaw, carrat, shattered spider

基本上所有食物来源都没那么方便，即使是种地，种地会让人变得很“宅男”，特别是大肉，削弱bunnyman也同样削弱了它原来最适合作为大肉生产者的身份，于是大肉的来源全部成了困难模式——相对的困难

所以有些食物注定难以日常，klei有意如此，牛奶看上去应该比大肉还要难以获得

Cause Milkfish is a real kind of fish and makes for a more natural pun.

and we already have eels in the game, just not the electric kind.

[minespatch]

I came up with the concept of a cattlesnake. Maybe something similar?

should be able to craft starter culture from yellow mushrooms to add to milk in order for it to spoil into cheese. cheese is one of the pillars of humanity. without cheese, our ancestors would have starved and become extinct, leading to birds becoming the dominant species on earth. It's true. Add cheese to this game. do it you cowards!

Just build walls for Dragonfly,and you get cheese.

It's not that hard.

So basically what you're saying is that if it weren't for cheese we could have all been glorious flying dinosaurs instead of horrible hairless apes. But now we're stuck in the worst timeline and it's all cheeses fault.

Curse you cheese! Curse you!

Beefalo no, but voltgoats sure i guess.
