In survival games, there's always more than one way to approach challenges, and *Necesse* is no exception. While the game offers various playstyles, one constant is the importance of breeding. Here's your comprehensive guide to mastering animal husbandry in *Necesse*.
How To Tame Animals in Necesse
Before you can start breeding, you need to get animals to stay in your settlement. Taming in *Necesse* is similar to *Minecraft*—you win their affection with treats. In this case, Wheat is your go-to resource, which you can easily obtain by planting Wheat Seeds or finding them in caves. Once you have Wheat, you can either feed it directly to the animals or use Feeding Troughs for a more efficient approach. This allows you to focus on other aspects of your settlement, like defense against raiders. However, remember to keep the Troughs filled; neglecting them can lead to animals losing their taming progress. Successfully tamed, these animals will become loyal members of your settlement, ready for breeding.
How To Breed Animals in Necesse
With a tamed animal army, your possibilities in *Necesse* expand significantly. Breeding is straightforward but requires 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, growing to full size within minutes. Be cautious not to overcrowd the pen, as this can hinder breeding. For optimal results, use smaller pens and move animals in pairs. While this might seem time-consuming, especially as you progress, there's a way to automate the process.
How To Automate Breeding in Necesse
Not everyone enjoys the intricacies of husbandry, and *Necesse* understands this. Once you can recruit Settlers, you can hire an Animal Keeper to manage all aspects of animal care, including maintaining Feeding Troughs. This keeps your animals content and focused on breeding. While you'll still need to oversee the process, the daily management of animals becomes less of a priority.
And that's your complete guide to animal husbandry and breeding in *Necesse*.
*Necesse is available now in Early Access on Steam.*
