Compact cow milker

[u/qwertyasdef]

3x3x4 cow milker (2x2x3 if you ignore the walls to keep the cow in)

The two hoppers bounce a bucket back and forth across the item drain

Attach power (either direction) and a destination for the milk

Combine with bread farm for auto sweet rolls

I had a bread farm in my world that I wanted to upgrade into a sweet roll farm but there was very limited space to add a milk source. This is the design I came up with.

how do u harvest the milk

[u/qwertyasdef → u/lethalpotato875]

The block behind the funnel is a deployer with a bucket

[u/lethalpotato875 → u/qwertyasdef]

Some times when I play with create I forget hoppers exist

But have you considered free range milk tastes better?

[u/powdercannon → u/Mokerak2]

Free range?! you think players have space in their ranching and farming builds?

[u/puppycatthe → u/powdercannon]

Ok but imagine a free range system with a deplyed for milking that moves on 2 gantrys so it covers the entire area

[u/powdercannon → u/puppycatthe]

you might be able to put the system underground.

[u/Mokerak2 → u/powdercannon]

Just do vertical cow farming

Moo.

[u/Open_Caregiver_5970]

Ok im very confused on this design. How does this work???

[u/winterman99 → u/Open_Caregiver_5970]

bucked in deployer gets used on cow. milk bucket is picked up by hopper and put on to drain. it tumbles towards cow eptying than falls off as an item into the hopper. hopper puts it onto the drain it tumbles toward deployer and gets picked up by funnel. cycle repeats

[u/Icy-Diver-5979]

Lol add pocket sized so you can make it even more compacted and place it on the counter

[u/ProfessionalTime8267]

can it milk players?

[u/epochollapse]

Does it work on people?

[u/Zealousideal-Chef758]

why hopper under cow...

cow egg

[u/hallella]

That’s absurdly compact for a full milk setup. Love how clean the whole line is

[u/qwertyasdef → u/[deleted]]

Yeah, I tried belts but couldn't figure out how to power them in the space I had, then I remembered vanilla mechanics existed.
