NebulaFlare Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 Can we add milk to the drink dispenser, so we can have latte and milkshakes? Soy latte too <3. I'm getting a little bit tired of sneaking into the kitchen to steal a carton of milk to make a latte..
Frances Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 Milk can be gotten from Betsy and other cows, which is why I'm assuming it wasn't added to the dispensers before (for balance reasons). Most of the other beverages have a very limited usability (and exist in such variety that making them limited/harvestable resources would be a huge pain), which is why I'm guessing the dispensers exist. Giving unlimited milk would be pretty OP since all other significant cooking ingredients can only be obtained through lengthier processes. I've also never seen a milk fountain irl, so there's that (most machines mix carbonated water and syrup at the output).
enkas Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 We have cream at the same fountain.. And we also have sugar (which is more often used in cooking than milk)
Frances Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 Cream is used for a lot more drinks than milk, and isn't used in cooking that I know of. As for the IC reason, well, it stops making sense there. The whole thing looks like an oversight to me. Anyway, the question is, do we really care about milk being a limited resource? Considering the kitchen already has free alcohol from the ice cream machine, and no one gives a shit about anything that goes on in the kitchen balance-wise, anyway.
Conspire2Ignite Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 It's stunning to me when people even USE the kitchen. What good is a beautiful pile of food if people go for the 4noRaisins? Milk, currently, is limited to the kitchen. Well, you're kind of SOL when you want a latte mid-shift and have to turn to the dreaded vending machine because there is no chef to make you one. Not to mention the bartender doesn't have milk either. Another thing: Lemon juice. Because sometimes my spessmen want lemonade. And instead we have lemon-lime juice. Which is thoroughly disappointing.
NebulaFlare Posted January 30, 2015 Author Posted January 30, 2015 The only downside I can think of, is infinite cheese and tofu. But that's only if you get universal enzymes.

Yes, cream is not used in kitchen, but sugar is widely used for nearly every sweet thing, while it not being needed in the bar at all. Yet it is the infinite sugar, and thus completely making sugarcanes obsolete. So yeah, I doubt adding infinite milk would make it any balancing issues really.
