Turns Jugs of Milk into Butter and Jugs of Buttermilk

Operation

• Requires a minimum of 10 and a maximum of 50 Jugs of Cows Milk
• Pouring milk into the churn will return Jugs to your inventory
• Butter Churn will indicate how many Cows Milk is in the Churn

• Select Churn to process the milk - this will start the 30s END timer
• Requires 1 churn plus 1 churn for every milk (so 10 milk requires 11 churns, 50 milk requires 51 churns)

Once complete, two options are available

• Take... will let you take the Butter
• Drain the Buttermilk will fill Jugs in your inventory with Buttermilk.

The window will show how many Butter and Buttermilk the churn contains in the window header.

Output

The Churn will produce:

• 1 Butter for every 5 Milk used
• 1 Buttermilk for every 2 Milk used

The most optimum yield is when you use 10, 20, 30, 40 or 50 milk. Any other amount of milk will result in rounding losses.

Notes

• Jugs of Sour Cows Milk are not usable in the churn
• Milk left in the Churn will turn into Sour Cows Milk at the same time as all other milk turns into Sour Cows Milk

What the Developers Say

• past the minimum, the more Milk added, the more difficult the ensuing End Timer will be.

(Tests have shown this to not be true, or at least the difference is so small it cannot be seen. --McArine)
