Anyway thank you for the mod, it felt weird that the muffalo which was genetically engineered to be the perfect livestock wasn't that good of a farm animal other than providing some wool

For the dog thing, barring a configurable option, I think it might be best to leave milking and shearing purely to animals that are meant to be in a pen for consistency, otherwise as you said people would get annoyed from constantly milking and shearing house pets especially in places like the dining room or bedrooms which would be jarring as there isn't an off switch

FINALLY, walrus milk, aka wilk

I'd suggest having the mammals only included for the sake of being funny or because on rare occasion might be the most practical source available be disabled by default, so the option is there, but it also wouldn't waste time for the pawns of most users

@Maya
I could look into that. I'm generally not a huge fan of needing to configure things like that myself, and I usually just prefer to download or not download an add-on. One common fix for issues in Rimworld is to delete the config folder, so having less in there can be nice. I'll consider making it configurable, though.

I take it you're not able to make the mod configurable as I had suggested then?

Maybe, if there's enough demand, I'll make a "Milk Everything" add-on.

Wool for goats and rabbits:
I'd need there to be those rabbits and goats in the game, I think.

Dog milk:
I've thought about this. The issue with adding milk to a lot of things is that there isn't an "off" switch for milking. I don't want situations where people (including myself) would get annoyed at their colonists constantly milking dogs and shearing rabbits. I may be pushing it with Rhino milk as is, haha.

would you ever consider adding wool for goats and rabbits? historically, cashmere and mohair came from certain breeds of goat, while angora wool comes from the angora rabbit. as well, i see people have already been joking about it, but people have actually historically used milk and wool from dogs, tho the best option for the latter apparently comes from cold-adapted dogs with undercoats (so huskies in vanilla).

Updated with support for Odyssey!

Also updated VE Animals patch with Seal and Walrus milk.
The patch for VE Animals whether or not you have Odyssey.

Happy milking and shearing!

No milking the cats and dogs? XD

Updated with 1.6, and with Vanilla Animals Expanded Support!

Greatly improved the workshop page, with all the relevant info on each animal

If it's within the realms of your abilities, you could make most if not all mammals milkable with toggles to enable/disable milking certain animals

Haha thanks @Gerewoatle. I considered even making bears and such give milk, but I figured that, since colonists will automatically go to milk tamed animals which produce milk, there had to be some sort of limit. Rhinos don't have a nice udder, but their nipples are more similar to cow teats than not.

Great mod, and entirely logical. Since the dawn of man it has been the nature of humans to tug on the nips of anything that has them to extract the delicious fluids within.
