theboneknight Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 Hello dear reader,I like my beefalo as much as the next player, if not a tad more. And I just had an interesting idea that I'd like your feedback on I'd like it if there were different genders of beefalo, maybe the females would have different colour horns or smaller ones, but then if you craft a wooden bucket using logs or something you could milk the females and if you feed them petals, they would mate or is this too much like Minecraft?? Opinions please! Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/3585-suggestion-genders-of-beefalo-beefalo-milking-and-breeding/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfgal Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 I agree with you BoneKnight I also say that you should dye the wool/hair.

theboneknight Posted December 10, 2012 Author Share Posted December 10, 2012 That's a good idea too! Maybe the thing you feed the beefalo determines the colour of the child!?

Crackhead Johny Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 I like not being able to tell their genders, it adds a certain amount of *risk* to milking them.

theboneknight Posted December 10, 2012 Author Share Posted December 10, 2012 That's a good point, maybe you should attempt to milk them while they sleep to stop the risk of them attacking rather than knowing which ones female!

mobius187 Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 I like my beefalo as much as the next player, if not a tad more.Entirely platonic, I hope. I'd like it if there were different genders of beefalo, maybe the females would have different colour horns or smaller ones, but then if you craft a wooden bucket using logs or something you could milk the females and if you feed them petals, they would mate or is this too much like Minecraft?? Opinions please! Hmmm. Well there has already been discussions as to whether beefalo will have babies, and it sounds like they likely will at some stage. This was hinted in several vague ways by the Devs, such as mentioning the beefalo would have "cycles" depending on the season and that the beefalo hat would play a greater role (maybe you can pretend to be a baby beefalo or get confused as one). Also there's the more obvious issue, and that's the fact that beefalo do not respawn. I'm sure the Devs will want to rectify this matter and baby beefalo is certainly the way to do that.I'm all for a bucket (new item) that lets you milk female beefalo... and maybe the beefalo hat lets you get close enough to do it.As for feeding/mating... yeah... too Minecraft. I would prefer it if the beefalo just "did their own thing" (said with Barry White's soft baritone voice).

TheBobulator Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 Maybe you can make cheese from the milk.

theboneknight Posted December 11, 2012 Author Share Posted December 11, 2012 I like the idea of using the hat to get close to them for milking and I love the cheese idea, that could make a lot more recipes for the crock pot!

Kalishikov Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 One related idea might be having a "feed bucket" that you fill up with a suitable food (perhaps if wheat gets added then grain?) that would attract nearby beefalo while it's filled up. That way rather than having some complex system of domesticating them, you could push or aggro a beefalo to where your camp is, and keep it around for milking by having the feed bucket going.This wouldn't be too hard to add if the idea of beefalo (and other animals) eating certain kinds of plants is ever taken up Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/3585-suggestion-genders-of-beefalo-beefalo-milking-and-breeding/#findComment-29249 Share on other sites More sharing options...
theboneknight Posted December 11, 2012 Author Share Posted December 11, 2012 I like that idea, and that could also relate to my beefalo mount suggestion!

Osterhasi Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Different buffalo genders and milking the female buffalos to get milk are good ideas. Also breeding, because I don't like that the buffalos don't respawn. With breeding you have to work to get more buffalos, so this doesn't get a op food source.I don't like dying the wool/hair this is to close to mineraft and this game isn't a colorful game. I like the graphic and to much colour would ruin it. I asked Wilson and he said that he likes his top hat and his dapper vest the way they are, he doesn't want coloured stuff. True story.

Schatzy Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 No breeding. NO BREEDING. Until a nerf on Beefalo comes along, Beefalo should NOT be breedable. Waaaay too dependable of a food source.

Waaaay too dependable of a food source.What type of nerf? I found one issue was that players could currently isolate beefalo, but to resolve this there could be an "alpha" beefalo and all other beefalo stay within a certain range of it and thus never become spread out like they currently do.
