Milk and Seed Rate with Limits
Base milk rate is 0.01
Base seed rate is 0.002
Level Rate = milking rate based on livestock level. Rate duration is limited by an amount or milk or seed per sl day based on the livestock level.
-Milk rate is calculated by the base rate or your Level Rate and any bonuses
-Milk rate is heavily dependent on your level. There are three tiers of milking rate for levels. The idea behind this is rewarding higher level cows but also not creating an extreme situation for milk rates.
Milk Level Rate
Under level 10 or cows that don’t meet base rate = base milking rate
Level 10 to 25 = 0.001 * level
Level 25 - 50 = above 10 to 25 rate + (0.0005 * (level – 25))
Level 50 = above 25 rate + (0.0002? * (level – 50))
Seed Level Rate
Under level 10 or bulls that don’t meet base rate = base seed rate
Level 10 to 25 = 0.0001 * level
Level 25 up = above 10 to 25 rate + (0.00005 * (level – 25))
Current bonuses to milking rates not dependent on your level rate include
Feeding – cow only and bull (soon)
Home – cow and bull
Extreme – cow only
Manual – cow only and bull (soon)
Breeding – cow and bull
Pregnant – cow only
-Your Level Rate is also dependent on your milking limit for that day. This limit is also calculated by your level. The idea behind this is getting tired from milking.
Milk Level Rate Limit
Level 1 to 25 = 5 + (1 * level)
Level 25 and up = above + ((level – 25) * .25)
Seed Level Rate Limit
--------------------------
Level 1 to 25 = .1 + (.1 * level)
Level 25 and up = above + ((level – 25) * .025)
**Rate Limits are reset on sl day. There is no longer a well-rested bonus**
Example:
(skylar)
Current Milk Rate 0.056
(this is the cow’s current milking rate. Because there is milking rate remaining, this is a level-based milking rate)
Total Milk Today 49.42
(total milk today based on sl day)
Remaining Milk Rate 3.329
(remaining milk to milk at the level rate)
Max Milk Rate Limit 52.75
(max milk to be milked using the level rate)
Feed
Feed is a limited resource that dairy owners and managers must maintain.
Feed is used for two reasons.
1.) Increase your level rate milking limit for the day
2.) Give a slight bonus to milking.
Milk
For each 1L of feed a cow eats, they are given 5L extra milking Level Rate limit. Normal feed has a limit of 5 feeds per sl day.
Seed
For each level of 1L of feed a bull eats they are given .5 extra seed Level Rate limit. Bull feeding is done via milk bottles.
**Feed Rate Limits increases are done by feed tick. Not all at once. Standard tick is .05. This is to prevent standing and not finishing a feed**
| Bounus | Role | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Home | Cow / Bull | Awarded when milking at the dairy that the livestock is registered to |
| Feed | Cow / Bull | After a minium amount of feed being eaten, this bonus becomes active. There is a limit to how much feed livestock can eat a day. |
| Breeding | Cow / Bull | After a breed session is completed, this bonus becomes active. There is a limit to how many times a cow can be bred per day. |
| Pregnant (Preg) | Cow | Bonus is active while a cow is pregnant. This bonus becomes inactive when a cow needs to deliver. |
| Extreme | Cow | Bonus is only active when milking on the extreme milker. Milking on extreme milker requires the MuffinOS Hud and only when a quota has not been completed |
| Manual | Cow | Bonus is active on utility stalls when being milked by a farmhand |
