Bread and Milk Guide

Jk Howling · 2018-08-12 03:03:49

For all those people exploring the new update, I've done some learning and experimenting over the past few hours with dough for bread, milk, etc. Just a thread for compiling good info on them, whether useful or not very. Feel free to add onto this as we go!

Getting a Cow

The process is incredibly similar to that of getting sheep, except you require two arrows instead of one. You also need a rope to bring home the calf.

You must shoot a bison with a calf twice in order to kill it, then use a rope on the corpse to snag the calf. Simply tote your baby calf to its new home.

You then have to feed the baby bison a bowl of corn. To get it, simply put a dried corn cob in a bowl, and cut it up with a flint chip, then feed to your new pet. It will then grow into a domestic bison, and produce domestic cow calves. Feed the cow calf another bowl of corn kernels, and you now have a domestic cow!

Note: The smaller your pen for the cow, the better. You will only need one domestic cow at any given time, and it will continuously produce milk for you. A 2-tile pen is the best, as you have a tile for the domestic bison, and a tile for the domestic cow.

Milk Info

To get milk, you must use an empty bucket on it after it has had a calf. You can get multiple buckets within the three second period of the calf leaving the mother, so make sure to have many buckets at hand, as its a very short span. You can easily get 3-4 if you're fast enough!

Then remove a bowl of milk immediately from the bucket. If you don't do this, it will separate into skim milk and cream. It only takes 40 seconds to separate, so do this quickly, or you'll end up with the inferior skim milk.

Each bucket of milk contains 10 bowls of milk. Each bowl of milk fills 12 food pips, plus an invisible bonus +2, tallying to 14 food pips total.

This means you get 140 food pips per bucket of milk. This is a VERY good source of easy calories, so long as you have the buckets available! It costs one soil to grow the corn for feeding the bison and sheep, and four milkweed to make an extra bucket.

Bread

Onto bread. Most players are very familiar with wheat dough, which is often used to make pies. Bread is much more of a late-game food source, however, requiring a knife to be fully processed.

To make bread, you simply leave the dough in the bowl for one minute. This causes the dough to rise, becoming "Leavened Dough."

You then put this dough on a plate, and stab it with a knife. This turns it into a raw bread loaf. You cook it similar to pies, by using it on a hot adobe oven. You then use the knife again to cut it up into slices.

Each bread has 8 uses, and each slice fills 6 food pips, totaling to 48 food pips per loaf.

Butter

You may also make butter to go with your bread, which increases its food value a little.

To get butter, you must let a full bucket of whole milk stand for 40 seconds. After this, it will separate into cream and skim milk. Use a bowl on that to extract the cream.

You then use a skewer on the cream, churning it into butter. You then take a knife, dip it on the butter, and apply it to a plate with a single slice of bread on it. Each bowl of butter has two uses.

Buttered bread fills 10 food pips instead of the 6 food pips of plain bread. This is notably better, increasing to 60 food pips per loaf, but slices may only be buttered one at a time and require a separate plate to butter them on.

Extra Tips

-If you make 3 pie plates using a bowl of dough, and leave the last dough in the bowl, it will still leaven! This is extremely useful, as not only do you get 3 pies from it, you also get a loaf of bread as well.

-On that note, only make pie dough if you have 4 empty plates available and ready. It only takes 60 seconds for that dough to rise. Leaving it will make it unusable to early civilizations, and a nuisance to those in later villages.

-Some easy cow pen designs:
(Note that the darker can be a variety of things, such as a berry bush, an open fence, a home marker, etc.)

I didn't know about you could still make pies and use the last bit for bread. I'll try to do the good old pies along side bread from now on.

are you sure on 2 tiles? isnt it givign milk when it has the calf? then it needs to leave the calf to be milked, which means 1 extra tile

ThatOneGuy · 2018-08-12 11:33:22

My name themes for children are jokes like Win, Rar, and Sixty-four

anyways thanks for the tips, the most helpful was probably the pen design thanks.

the calf just disappears if there is no available space so you can still get that milk.

If the baby calf has nowhere to go, it simply despawns, allowing you to milk the cow without having to deal with constantly disposing of dead calves. Its the most efficient way atm.

Its a bit similar to a small sheep pen concept I vaguely remember being mentioned awhile back, except I think that one involved 3 tiles of space. Don't really remember.

im sure you know this already but the butter knife glitch and the calf glitch got fixed

Haven't updated yet, what's the calf glitch?

basically it floods the place cause wont decay
so this is a workaround until tomorrow

also dough gets a fix where you need the whole dough or it wont make a bread

basically a bucket of milk is 140 pips of food
for 10 bucket is 1400, thats a whole life of food for a player

the butter and skimmed milk is a lot more work for less calories
less waste and less yum generally but still

edit: doesnt work taking out one bowl...

so tested it and its interesting
even partial bucket goes to skim in a bit, so taking out one of each bucket wont be good enough

but you can take out 10 bowls, or even 100 bowls, obviously you wont have enough bowls

as for the timer, well its instant, you can give water to cow, and will be ok, you can take next bucket
goes back to normal from fed state so you cant wait too long but i think it will have the milk for a while so just give water and use next bucket, give water again, still worth for one corn

so 3 buckets and 30 bowls seems enough, you can make butter from 3rd

Can you let the calf grow and butcher it for meat? Seems like easy additional food as well as variety.

Currently they do not produce food when killed and cannot be butchered. They're milk cows. Jason mentioned he was likely going to add steer for slaughter in the future.
