Hmmm...a difficult one! I don't think it's dandelions, both because as JB pointed out - they are bitter and could affect the taste of the milk...plus I don't recall ever seeing large fields of dandelions waiting to be harvested for cattle food (not counting my old next-door neighbors back yard...). Growing up near farms I'm thinking carrots (as were potatoes) can be a choking hazard for cows, especially since they repeatedly burp them up and re-chew what is a hard texture unless they are finely ground up.. Baby formula is possible, although it has a lot of proteins. It is made largely with milk byproducts, which baby cows certainly consume. But I seem to recall a news story some years back where excess or damaged candy (it might have been Skittles, I don't recall...) was hauled to feedlots to give to cattle. Seemed strange but I think they mentioned it was because of the sugars and starch found in the candy, which would also be found in the corn. I don't think it's a widespread thing, just cattle near a candy factory I'd think. I may be going out on a limb here... But my guess is A: Skittles

Community Chat Discussion 13: 2025 Projects
We have one last bench to finish on the Wonderful Wizard of Oz PC1 project with Citytrader. It's already partly done. Because the WWoO bench didn't have much room on that side, I took a copy of the Emerald City bench, and then moved part of the Emerald City, and the surrounding areas further down on the bench, recreated the waterways, and then deleted the originals...which took a while. Then I started the transition from the Emerald City to the last area of the park The Northern Kingdom. Built a few things and then turned it over to Ctytrader to work his magic. Since I'm mainly done with WWoO and am waiting for PC2 to be improved, I decided to pick up on another project Citytrader and I had discussed a long time ago, and that was Walt Disney's original idea for a Mickey Mouse Park near the Disney Studios, which wasn't approved and Walt moved on to the far bigger Disneyland. Citytrader had a good start to a version of that park based on the planned layout that he's worked on on and off which is really nice But I stumbled upon an image showing an even earlier version of the MM Park, designed for the same plot of land, but laid out differently. So I've been working on that. As usual I tend to build BIG, which I've done this time as well...now comes the process of shrinking down the overall footprint. Right now it consists mainly of the Main Street area and part of an Old Town area along with a Fairgrounds. While I'm using a lot of Workshop blueprints, it takes time to find the ones that are scaled correctly to what I use, and then many have wholesale tweaking to fit my purposes - everything from removing multiple stories to adding on wider facades. Not a bit of TMTK made for this one...so far.

The Wonderful World of OZ
I've been busy with other things so these screenshots are some of the first views of the Yellow Brick Country bench! I mostly love how this area really lives up to it's theme...it's not dark like the Haunted Forest, it's not huge and busy like the Emerald City, it's probably the closest to Dorothy's Kansas...just with talking TinMen, Lions and Scarecrows! (I don't think Kansas has those...do they?) Anyways, this bench really adheres to Baum's version of Oz I think. Well done!

Oh JB...you know you would have gotten it wrong anyways... 🤣 LOL However, even though your record here is dismal at best, I'm going to join you in choosing D: The employee that created the candy So if anybody leads anybody astray I won't be ME getting blamed this time! (I blame the nerd who came up with "Mickey" rather than the name that made actual sense on that last one!).

Computer Specs
Nope, no updates just for this new game. It's quite a few years old, but for the most part still serves it's purpose. I think I would have been ticked if I had upgraded just for PC2 only to then discover it's problems! XPS 8930 i7-9700 CPU @ 3.00GHz (8 CPUs), ~3.0GHz 16384MB RAM NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 14063 MB

LOL! No wonder I'm not tech savvy! I'm gonna completely guess and say "A: Pup" Why? Because I'm wondering if 'pixel' and "unit" makes up part of the unit's name...maybe 'partial' as well? Of course 'Pinky' starts with a 'P' as well, but I think it's too long...

The Wonderful World of OZ
Those are quarter 'domes' with patchwork textures. You place one quarter piece, rotate and add another, end up with a round 'hill'. They certainly aren't perfect. Lighting in PC sometimes requires just the right combination of placement of the models used, imported on certain axis, and I didn't always get that placement perfectly spot on, so some quarter pieces have a darker shadowing to the texture on one side, not noticeable until placed up against another one that's been rotated - then the darker texture aligns with a slightly lighter one. After monkeying around and re-making them numerous times without getting the right outcome, I decided to just claim that there were square Oznian clouds passing overhead, casting their shadows on the patchwork fields... I'm sticking with that. I 'think' those were hollyhocks, I forget what the texture was billed as...but very glad you like them...I do too! The patchwork pieces (there's more of them...) and the flowers are all in the Workshop if anyone wants them. TMTK items listed under "Oz" (as are the other nearly 700 items I made for this project. And handful actually turned out pretty good! )

I'm gonna guess "C"...only because I think I recall reading sometime ago a lower number...but that may be outdated now, but I'll stick with it. "Backrub"??? Well, I guess that makes sense to some rich genius-types... LOL!
