Mastering Animal Breeding in Necesse: A Comprehensive Guide

In Necesse, resourcefulness is key, and animal breeding is no exception. This guide covers taming, breeding, and automating the process for efficient livestock management.

Taming Animals: A Minecraft-esque Approach

Before breeding, you must tame your animals. Similar to Minecraft, this involves feeding them wheat. Wheat is readily available through farming or cave exploration. Feed animals directly or utilize Feeding Troughs for a less hands-on approach. Remember, neglecting troughs leads to lost taming progress. Fully tamed animals are essential for breeding.

Breeding Animals: The Basics

Once tamed, breeding is straightforward. Like in Pokemon (excluding Ditto!), you need one male and one female of the same species. Place them in an enclosed area. Once fully tamed, they'll enter "Love Mode," eventually producing offspring. The offspring will then mature. Note: overcrowding can hinder breeding; smaller pens are recommended.

Automating Breeding with Settlers

For a more streamlined approach, recruit Settlers. Assign an Animal Keeper to manage your livestock, including refilling troughs and ensuring animal happiness. This frees you from the constant upkeep, allowing you to focus on other aspects of the game.

This guide provides a complete overview of animal husbandry in Necesse, maximizing your efficiency in this crucial aspect of gameplay.
