Mastering Animal Husbandry in Necesse: A Comprehensive Breeding Guide
In the diverse world of Necesse, success hinges on resourcefulness. While gameplay styles vary, animal breeding remains a constant. This guide provides a complete walkthrough of the breeding process.
Before embarking on your breeding endeavors, ensure your animals remain within your settlement. Taming mirrors the Minecraft system: offer wheat as a treat to cultivate their affection. Wheat is readily available; you likely have some from your early farming efforts, or you can find it in caves.
Feed wheat directly or utilize Feeding Troughs for efficiency. Troughs reduce hands-on time, allowing you to focus on other aspects of your settlement. However, neglect leads to animals losing taming progress due to hunger. Once tamed, your animal companions are ready for breeding.
With a tamed animal population, expansion becomes simpler through breeding. Similar to Pokémon, you need one male and one female of the same species (no Ditto equivalents here!). Enclose the pair in a pen; once fully tamed, they'll enter "Love Mode," eventually producing offspring. Allow a few minutes for the baby animal to mature to full size.
Note: Overcrowding can hinder breeding. Smaller, dedicated breeding pens, with animals transferred individually, are recommended for optimal results.
For those less inclined towards hands-on husbandry, recruiting Settlers offers a solution. Assign an Animal Keeper to manage all husbandry tasks, including trough refills, ensuring animal contentment and facilitating efficient breeding. While oversight remains your responsibility, it significantly reduces the workload.
This concludes the comprehensive Necesse animal husbandry and breeding guide.
