This mod adds several new species of boomrats that produce milk instead of chemfuel. Initially created by TrahsPanda (who has unfortunately left modding entirely), the mod has been recoded completely for 1.5+.
The Rats
The mod currently adds three rats to the game, all of which produce various types of milk.
How To Find Them
All rats can be found in trading caravans, or from orbital traders that trade animals, such as the ones from [url=https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1952216926]Zoological Orbital Traders[/url].
Mod Compatibility
Since Milkrats is purely XML and uses prefixes in the item defs, it should be compatible with the vast majority of mods out of the box. However, it also has some built-in compatibilities:
A Dog Said 2
[list]
[*] All rats are compatible with the surgeries in the mod (only peg legs/paws, same as the Boomrat, if you'd like to beef up your rats there's a setting in ADS2's mod options to make it so all animals can have all surgeries).

Cyber Fauna
[list]
[*] All rats are compatible with the surgeries in the mod.

Credits
Credits go to TrahsPanda and the original [url=https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2074485978]mod[/url] for the original idea and a jumping off point for the code. The artworks for the milk and rats were created by [url=https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198244962900]Verbosemoth[/url] so all credit for that goes to them. All cheese are recolors of cheese from [url=https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2134308519]Vanilla Cooking Expanded[/url]. Patches referenced from various mods that I can't remember at this point, sorry. All other content and code is by me.
