Description:

Hey guys, if you have muffalos or boomalopes in your colony, here's a mod which might help your handlers and haulers out. It could use some further testing. I haven't had any major problems with it and it should be compatible with other animal mods, but it could probably use some refinement.

Changes:
- Colonists will only milk animals when they are relatively close to a stockpile which is allowed to contain their milk product (so, in theory, this works with any animal that can be milked, like boomalopes for example).
- Animals will in turn move to a place near to those stockpiles and in their allowed area when they are ready for milking.

Known issues:
Wild animals will wander around at a fast pace, regardless of whether they can or need to be milked.

Hi,
why not a combination with "Pick up and haul" the animal handler will pickup the product straight after the milk process ?

Hmm, not a bad idea. Only thing is, milking is so infrequent that inevitably the 12 milk or whatever is just going to get dropped off in the stockpile anyway.

Shearing wool, on the other hand, that's something that would really benefit from just stuffing the whole product into inventory. :)

I've fixed the issue with animals that aren't the target of the mod deciding to use the new wander node in the thinktree. Redownload from the link in the top post.
