In survival games, versatility is key, and *Necesse* is no exception. One constant in this dynamic world is breeding, and here's your comprehensive guide to mastering animal husbandry in *Necesse*.
How to Tame Animals in Necesse
Before you can start matchmaking your livestock, you need to bring them into your settlement. Taming animals in *Necesse* is similar to *Minecraft*; you'll use Wheat to win their affection. Wheat is abundant and can be obtained by planting Wheat Seeds, which you're likely to have if you've been playing for a while. You can also find Wheat in caves.
You can feed Wheat to the animals directly, but setting up Feeding Troughs is more efficient. This method frees up your time to focus on expanding your settlement and defending against raiders. Be vigilant about refilling the Troughs, though, as hungry animals will lose their taming progress. Successfully tamed animals will join your settlement, paving the way for breeding.
How to Breed Animals in Necesse
With a tamed animal army, your potential in *Necesse* is boundless. Breeding is straightforward: you need a male and female of the same species, much like in *Pokemon*. Enclose them in a fenced area, and if they're fully tamed, they'll enter Love Mode. After a short wait, a baby will appear in the pen, growing to full size within minutes.
Be cautious not to overcrowd the pen, as this can hinder breeding. It's more effective to use smaller pens and move animals in pairs for breeding. While this might seem time-consuming, especially as you advance in *Necesse*, there's a way to automate the process.
How to Automate Breeding in Necesse
Not everyone enjoys the intricacies of husbandry, and that's perfectly fine. Once you can recruit Settlers, you can hire an Animal Keeper to manage your livestock. This Settler will handle all husbandry tasks, including maintaining the Feeding Troughs, ensuring your animals remain content and ready for breeding. While you'll still need to oversee the process, the daily management of animals won't be your top concern.
And that's your complete guide to animal husbandry and breeding in *Necesse*.
*Necesse is available now in Early Access on Steam.*
