| Summary | 0003163: Milking large animals at wrong tile of workshop, happens instantaneously | ||||
| Description | When milking a purring maggot (at least in previous versions), the job takes a while (based on milking skill) and happens at the center tile of the workshop. However, when milking a large creature (horse, cow, donkey, camel), the creature is dragged to the upper-left corner of the workshop (if the bucket contained stagnant water, it gets dumped out at that tile) and is milked instantaneously, making any Milking experience more or less meaningless. | ||||

Regarding the work location problem, it looks like this is because the "milk creature" job sets the worker's goal to "Go To Milk Station" using the coordinates of the workshop's upper-left corner (sx/sy) instead of the workshop's center (midx/midy). Shearing jobs appear to have the exact same problem, as do a bunch of other jobs like chaining/caging and healthcare (where it doesn't actually matter because their buildings are all 1x1 anyways). |
