rofl that's cute.. not to mention lucky lol. when creatures spawn in these freakish numbers for me it's always 20+ vexed in the middle of my factories in the backyard
a month ago I would have danced a jig at that but now it just kinda makes me want to growl... glad to see you sticking around arthur

good lord... why does milking have to be so tedious? you have to target each one of these ONE BY ONE to get all the delicious milk... and keep maskscent up... and...
made me laugh, anyway.

shhh..... you can "multiple milk" -- as many critters as are in range can be milked at the same time... and it still tedious
how about suggesting that milking be set up in 3 "ticks" -- so you get 25% of what's possible in each of the first 2 ticks and the remaining 50% on the final tick? nothing's more frustrating than to have a critter bolt (or teleport away) just as you're about to finish, leaving you with nothing for your efforts -- the present "all or nothing" setup doesn't really make sense when you stop to think about it -- what, am I "priming a pump" or something that I get nothing and get nothing then there's this sudden gush of milk that explodes out?

the best solution of all? make a droid do it.
isn't that what droids are for? to do all my tedious chores for me?
where's drashk when I need him?

not yet... but if I can find drashk, maybe I can make him mad enough to get the devs to add a 'milking module'.

Yeah, I ran into one of these the other day too ![]()
I got 25k of milk in no time lol
A droid would be nice, but I wouldn't hold my breathwaiting for it. That would just be a slow trip to the cloner....
