Description

Butter is an edible food in the dairy group that is produced from Cream, which is extracted from milk.

Production

First extract Cream from milk, then churn the Cream into Butter.

Cream

Place Milk into a Cooking Pot and let it sit still for 24 hours, allowing the Cream to separate from the milk into the top layer, then collect the Cream using a suitable container.

A Large Bowl can be used to collect exactly 500 mB of Cream when 5000 mB of milk has been separated. A waterskin or a glass bottle with enough capacity needs to be used to collect a lesser amount of Cream.

Churning

The simplest way to churn butter is to use a waterskin. To do that, put the Cream inside a waterskin, hold it in your hand, and then hold right mouse button for an extended amount of time.

The progress can be paused by releasing the right mouse button. If any Cream is removed from the waterskin, or more added, any progress made up to that point is lost.

Once the process completes, pressing the right mouse button again empties the the waterskin and places the finished Butter into the player's inventory.

Usage

Butter can be eaten as is, or added to sandwiches and cooking mixes on a Cooking Prep.

Butter can be salted to change its taste and to slow down its decay.

Notes

  • A waterskin can only contain up to 2000 mB of Cream for the purpose of churning.
  • 10 buckets of milk can either produce ~177 oz of cheese, or 160 oz of Hard cheese and 40oz of Butter.
  • The fluid that represents Cream has the color that is called "Cream" mainly to be more easily distinguishable from milk.
  • After collecting the separated Cream, the same amount of Vinegar can be added back into the Cooking Pot to begin the production of Hard Cheese from the leftover Skimmed milk.
  • Churning is recipe based allowing other mods to add input material to churn.
  • Churning recipes can be viewed in game when Not Enough Items (NEI) mod is installed.

Future enhancements

  • More ways to churn butter will be added in the future.
  • Possible use of butter as Clay lamp fuel in the future.
