"If you could make it so that you still had to feed the baby animals manually in the sandbox option. Some people prefer the grind in that way but still being able to feed the babies the milk from another mother would def be handy."

Just don't put food for the baby animals in the feeder )

Thanks, was wondering if this mod was redundant after this update.

Yeh I will resub actually if that's the case. Maybe add in the mod description a little more what the mod does or adds so some people like me don't get confused or think this mod is redundant. Iv used it since you brought it out so thank you again.
Survager  [author] 21 May @ 6:19pm 
Yeah, after update you can craft milk for baby animal but for it, you must find milk powder ) You can't use any milk from cow or sheep for craft new milk for baby animal. And... You will also have to feed the baby animals manually, as they will not eat the new milk from the feeding bottle if you put it in the feeder. Either way, it is up to you to decide whether to use the mod or not. I will continue to use it.
Avihs158 21 May @ 6:01pm 
I think it said that they added milk formula for baby animals now, did this mod do something else other than that? Not criticising just inquiring.
Survager  [author] 21 May @ 9:54am 
Those who write that the mod is not needed now, write whether it is true when you play a few hours after the update 42.8.0 )))
I'm sure you will not refuse to use this mod )
Avihs158 20 May @ 11:28am 
Thank you for this while they worked on it themselves

I didn't know that. Was driving around, found a herd and managed to catch one fawn and brought it home :I
Survager  [author] 5 May @ 9:19pm 
You can't tame deer. Even if you catch to trap-fence a fawn, the fawn may disappear when you get far away from that place. What's the point of doing that?
Rats 5 May @ 1:28pm 
Would you update the mod to be able to feed fawns too?
Survager  [author] 25 Apr @ 7:54am 
@SuccMedic yeah, I finded this error and fix it ) Thanks for bugreport )
Update the modification and save the calves!
SuccMedic 24 Apr @ 7:20pm 
it state the animals is underfed and looking for its mother and the option to feed is not given, even after making a new batch. i believe they do not eat regular food until the second stage of juvenile when they are "weaned"
Survager  [author] 24 Apr @ 12:20pm 
Does the juvenile age of animals require mother's milk? Animals in juvenile age do not eat ordinary food?
SuccMedic 24 Apr @ 6:10am 
unable to feed calves up until the weaning stage, stops as soon as they age to juvenile.
Zodiac 10 Apr @ 4:34pm 
This is one of the cutest things I've ever seen in my life.

Just one question for B42 Vanilla (without this Mod): Do the Chicks of Chicken dont grow if there is no adult chicken with them? I feel like i waited so long now that they grow up, but nothing happens either they are fed well and are not thirsty.... maybe someone has a clue how long chickens need to grow up... Thanks
Survager  [author] 23 Mar @ 6:04am 
PinkFate, Now the game does not accept the amount of fluid to create a recipe less than one liter for one item. To create several servings of food, a container with milk, must contain milk at the rate of 1 liter per portion. If you have a smaller liter, use the context menu to create food.
PinkFate 18 Mar @ 6:49am 
Bug - cant craft the feed at exactly 0.5L of cows milk in a carton.
Survager  [author] 15 Mar @ 2:56am 
Samgull, I think so. But you can always make a backup of the save if something goes wrong.
Samgull 15 Mar @ 2:01am 
can this be added mid save?
lemonandtea101 13 Mar @ 10:51am 
I guess not! I presumed because its a baby mammal that it would need milk. Thanks for this mod, it helped save my lambs <3 :)
Survager  [author] 13 Mar @ 9:32am 
lemonandtea101 Do small raccoons need milk? I see in the code that they eat Animal feed, Grass, Hay, Vegetables, Fruits
lemonandtea101 13 Mar @ 8:31am 
Does one of the food recipes already work for baby raccoons?
Survager  [author] 13 Mar @ 12:18am 
lemonandtea101, what wrong with mod?
lemonandtea101 12 Mar @ 2:26pm 
Hola, ¿sería posible incluir una actualización para este mod que incluya una receta para mapaches bebés? Usando el traductor de Google, disculpas por los errores gramaticales. ¡Gracias! :)

I decide to rescue all the bunnies starting w the kit. Since I can only hold 1 at a time, and can't figure out how to hook up the trailer... anyway only 1 of the other bunnies was female. Put 'em all in a yard, made a zone, poor lil bunny still can't find mama, so I assume there is no mama left. I am sad but glad this mod exists. Installed! Next day, after I made some baby bunny food, lil bun decided it had found mama and is happy! Guess that must have been mom after all. Family reunited!

I found a wrecked SUV+trailer. While checking it out, noticed a hare nearby, it wasn't running away and the game lets you try to grab 'em, so I tried... darn thing's tame! Turns out the trailer is full of rabbits. Nice bunny, I let him down, he hangs out. I notice a baby bunny kit lolling about, it's stressed can't find her mama.

muy buen mod!
Survager  [author] 16 Feb @ 2:46am 
EekBaalamx Sí, la modificación le permite crear alimentos a partir de leche para conejos, lechones, corderos y pantorrillas.
EekBaalamx 15 Feb @ 11:18pm 
Vi este mod mientras estaba jugando y justo pasaba y encontre un grupo de conejos. Tome dos crias. Es posible alimentarlos con el mod?
Blastmetal 14 Feb @ 12:21pm 
nah its only the second block i did not read further but im happy with the mod so forget about it, also english is not my own native language.

So lets just forget about it :)
Survager  [author] 14 Feb @ 7:32am 
Blastmetal, English is not my native language so maybe it is my mistake )
Blastmetal 14 Feb @ 6:44am 
I think my confusion comes from the second part of the explanation of what the mod does.
It says that animals can only eat the corrosponding food from there respective mothers, so pigs and rabbits not being able to eat that might have made me think that thats the problem with the mod.
Blastmetal 14 Feb @ 6:41am 
I might have misread the actual text so if thats the case then thats a big mistake on my side, and im sorry if i made a confusing mess out of somthing that shouldn't be :D
Survager  [author] 14 Feb @ 6:36am 
Blastmetal, small piglets without this modification will not eat anything except for their mother's milk, so this mod is prompted to create portions of milk for them to feed them. I don't understand why you say it doesn't work with piglets.
Blastmetal 14 Feb @ 5:35am 
Also pigs are omnivores like us so they should be able to ingest any milk, given the circumstance this would not be a biological inaccuracy to make the mod to allow piglets to ingest both.
Blastmetal 14 Feb @ 5:32am 
I love the premise of this mod, but why for the love of all that is holy do you add a piglet to the mods thumbnail if it does not work for piglets :lunar2019laughingpig:
Tiny Muffy 10 Feb @ 8:35am 
Survager, absolute legend, the lamb is safe! If I could double endorse this mod because of you being so patient and helpful, I would.
Skarvha 9 Feb @ 10:26pm 
Ok worked it, had to make new food from scratch and it worked. The update must've broken the older food
Skarvha 9 Feb @ 9:57pm 
I have crafted the cow feed and it wont give me the option to feed the calf
Survager  [author] 9 Feb @ 7:31pm 
There was a error in mod that did not allow creating food for calves and lambs.
This was fixed in the current update.
Excuse me, if this caused you disappointment.

- Fixed the impossibility of creating food for a calf or lamb animal, if there was already some kind of liquid in the bucket, although in fact it was empty.
- Added check: If the container (bowl/bucket) which is used to create food is not empty, it cannot be used to create food. This will help to avoid loss of valuable contents of these containers.
Survager  [author] 9 Feb @ 5:26pm 
Tiny Muffy, thanks for the error message, I tried to fix it as soon as possible. I hope you will be able to save the lamb.
MozzDef 9 Feb @ 2:45pm 
this should be added to the base game. cool mod
