Animals

Each farm animal needs its own shelter and a filled feeding trough and water trough. Keep an animal happy and it leaves produce by its shelter; pair two happy animals of the same species with a free shelter nearby and they'll breed.

How animal husbandry works

The same five rules apply to every animal — get these right and the produce (and babies) take care of themselves.

Happy animals produce ressources that can be collected in the basket at the shelter.

Produce only appears while every need is met — check the basket by each shelter.

Animals automatically stay near their feeding trough as long as it’s filled.

A filled feeding trough and water trough keep them home and happy; let either run dry and produce stops.

For animals to reproduce, you need two of the same species with all needs fulfilled. Each animal requires its own shelter to fulfill its needs.

Breeding needs a spare shelter standing by — two pigs won't multiply with only one pig shelter.

Animals will follow you if you’re holding their favorite food.

The simplest way to herd a new animal back to your base.

Animals can be transported to other places using an animal transporter. Place the base where you want to bring them, then use the transporter to move the animal to that base.

For relocating animals once your base outgrows its first pens.

Every animal

Chicken

A Chicken Coop for chickens to sleep in and to take shelter during rain. If occupied and the chicken is happy there will be leftover eggs for you to take!

Sheep

A sheep shelter to sleep in and to take shelter during rain. If the sheep is happy it will provide you with milk beside its shelter.

Pig

A pig shelter to sleep in and to take shelter during rain. If the pig is happy it will provide you with truffle beside the shelter.

Bees

A Beehive that generates Beeswax for Candles. Can't be placed too close to another Beehive.
