Mastering Animal Husbandry in Necesse: A Comprehensive Breeding Guide

In the vast world of Necesse, resourcefulness is key, and animal breeding is no exception. This guide provides a complete walkthrough of taming and breeding animals, culminating in automation 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 can be found in caves. Feed animals directly or utilize Feeding Troughs for a less time-consuming approach. Remember, neglecting troughs leads to lost taming progress due to starvation. Fully tamed animals are ready for breeding.

Breeding Animals: The Basics

Breeding in Necesse mirrors the mechanics of Pokemon: one male and one female of the same species are required. Enclose the tamed pair within a fence. Once together, they'll enter "Love Mode," eventually producing offspring. Allow additional time for the young animal to mature.

Optimizing the Breeding Process

Overcrowding hinders breeding efficiency. Creating smaller, dedicated breeding pens and transferring animals individually is recommended, although time-consuming. Fortunately, automation is possible.

Automating Breeding with Settlers

Recruiting settlers unlocks the Animal Keeper, a valuable asset for automating husbandry tasks. Assign this settler to manage feeding troughs and maintain animal well-being, freeing you from the constant need for direct intervention. While oversight remains crucial, the Animal Keeper significantly reduces the workload.

Conclusion

This comprehensive guide covers all aspects of animal breeding in Necesse, from taming to automation. Efficient animal husbandry is a key element of success in the game, and this guide will help you master it.
