Dairy Core is a per-barn dairy management layer for the Realistic Farming ecosystem. It tracks herd health, milk quality, spoilage timing, collection scheduling and dairy contracts using the shared in-game economic clock, Time Guard.
In standard mode, it reads the base game herd values. When Ritter’s Realistic Livestock is present, it switches to per-animal genetics and health calculations.
Features
- Contracts settle on the calendar, with the base game paying the income and Tax Mod keeping the audit line.
- Every connection to another mod is optional. If a companion is not installed, that part sleeps while the rest continues working.
- Zero Precision Farming.
- Install it alongside the core services and let it run.
YOU NEED: Realistic Livestock RM
Changelog
- V1.1.0.0
Added: With Soil & Fertilizer installed, harvested grain now feeds your dairy. Organic harvests count toward the organic milk premium, and diseased grain in the farm’s feed gives your barns a mycotoxin penalty from the next day. - The farm office page in the Esc menu now explains a refused milk collection. For each barn, it says when a scheduled collection was refused and why, and when the next one is due while a worker is assigned. This works for every player in multiplayer.
- When Soil & Fertilizer reports the crop’s nutrient window for a feed field, the balanced-feed bonus needs all three nutrients inside or above that window.
- Changed: The office milk sale charges a fixed handling fee per litre instead of a share of the market price. A sale whose fee would meet or beat the price is refused before any milk leaves the tank. The setting is now a fee per 1,000 L; existing saves start at the new default.
- Fixed: With Realistic Livestock 1.4, a barn’s herd health score counts one disease penalty per sick animal again. Animals in the hidden early phase, recovered animals and leftover records no longer drag it down.
- Multiplayer: The feed flush and other farm actions reach the server correctly, and a player who leaves no longer leaves a stale collection record behind.
- The Dairy Help screen closes with Escape and Enter again.
- Translations: The Esc pages, the dairy manager and the Field Guide fall back to English instead of showing raw text keys. The page legend shows a plain dot between page names, a stray “” is gone, and the mod’s description reads correctly in the mod manager in every language.
