In Necesse, thriving relies heavily on efficient animal breeding, a core gameplay mechanic. This guide details taming and breeding animals, culminating in automation for streamlined husbandry.
Taming Animals in Necesse
Before breeding, you must tame animals. Similar to Minecraft, this involves feeding them wheat. Wheat can be grown from seeds or found in caves. Feed animals directly or utilize Feeding Troughs for less hands-on management. However, neglecting troughs leads to lost taming progress due to starvation. Fully tamed animals are ready for breeding.
Breeding Animals in Necesse
Breeding requires a male and female of the same species. Enclose them in a pen. Once tamed, they'll enter "Love Mode," eventually producing offspring. Growth to adulthood takes additional time. Overcrowding hinders breeding; smaller pens are recommended for breeding pairs, transferring animals as needed.
Automating Breeding in Necesse
For a hands-off approach, recruit a Settler with the "Animal Keeper" profession. This settler manages feeding troughs and animal care, including breeding, freeing you from constant husbandry tasks. While automation streamlines the process, oversight remains your responsibility.
This comprehensive guide covers animal husbandry in Necesse, enabling efficient resource management and settlement growth.
