"Necesse: Ultimate Guide to Animal Breeding"

In survival games, the saying "there's more than one way to skin a cat" rings true, and Necesse is no exception. While the game offers various play styles, the constant is breeding. Here’s a comprehensive guide to mastering animal husbandry in Necesse.

How to Tame Animals in Necesse

Before diving into breeding, you need to get animals to stay in your settlement. Taming in Necesse is similar to Minecraft—you'll need to offer them Wheat, which is readily available. If you've played for a few hours, you've likely planted Wheat Seeds, or you can find Wheat in caves.

You can feed Wheat directly to the animals or use Feeding Troughs, which is more efficient, freeing you up to focus on building and defending your settlement. However, neglecting to refill the Troughs can lead to animals losing taming progress. When done correctly, all animals in your settlement will become loyal, setting the stage for breeding.

How to Breed Animals in Necesse

With a tamed animal army, Necesse becomes even more exciting. To breed, you need a male and female of the same species, much like in Pokemon. Enclose them in a fence, and if fully tamed, they'll enter Love Mode. After a short wait, a baby will appear, growing to full size in a few more minutes.

Be cautious not to overcrowd pens, as it can halt breeding. It's better to use smaller pens and transfer animals as needed. 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 managing livestock, and that's where the Animal Keeper comes in. Once you can recruit Settlers, assign the Animal Keeper to handle all husbandry tasks, including maintaining Feeding Troughs. This keeps your animals content and breeding smoothly. While you'll still need to oversee operations, the daily management of animals becomes less of a priority.

And that's the complete guide to animal husbandry and breeding in Necesse.
