In survival games, versatility is key, and *Necesse* is no exception. One constant in the game is the art of breeding, which can significantly enhance your gameplay experience. Here’s a comprehensive guide to mastering animal husbandry in *Necesse*.
How to Tame Animals in Necesse
Before you can start breeding, you need to tame the animals. Taming in *Necesse* mirrors the process in *Minecraft*—you offer them Wheat, which is readily available. If you've been playing for a while, you likely have Wheat Seeds planted around your settlement. You can also find Wheat in caves.
You can feed Wheat directly to the animals or use Feeding Troughs, which is less time-consuming. This frees you up to focus on other aspects of your settlement, like defense against raiders. However, neglecting to refill the Troughs can lead to animals losing taming progress due to hunger. When done correctly, all animals in your settlement will become loyal and ready for breeding.
How to Breed Animals in Necesse
With a tamed animal population, breeding becomes your next step to expand your resources. Similar to *Pokemon*, you'll need a male and female of the same species to breed. Enclose them in a pen, and if fully tamed, they will enter Love Mode. After a few minutes, a baby will appear, eventually growing into an adult.
Be cautious not to overcrowd the pens, as this can hinder the breeding process. It's more effective to use smaller, dedicated breeding pens and move animals in pairs. While this might seem tedious, there's a way to automate this process as you progress in *Necesse*.
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 assign an Animal Keeper to manage all aspects of animal care, including maintaining Feeding Troughs. This keeps your animals content and focused on breeding, freeing you to oversee other critical tasks in your settlement.
And that wraps up your complete guide to animal husbandry and breeding in *Necesse*.
