In survival games like *Necesse*, versatility is key, but one constant is the importance of breeding. Here’s your complete guide to mastering animal husbandry in *Necesse*.
How To Tame Animals in Necesse
Before you can start playing matchmaker with your livestock, you need to get them to settle in your community. Taming in *Necesse* mirrors *Minecraft*—you win their hearts with treats. Wheat is your go-to here, readily available from your farm or found in caves. After a few hours of gameplay, you're likely already cultivating Wheat Seeds. You can feed Wheat directly to the animals or opt for Feeding Troughs for a more hands-off approach. This lets you focus more on fortifying your settlement and fending off raiders. However, remember to keep those Troughs filled; neglecting them can lead to your animals losing taming progress. When done right, your animals will pledge allegiance to your cause, paving the way for breeding.
How To Breed Animals in Necesse
With a loyal animal army at your side, the possibilities in *Necesse* are endless. Breeding is your ticket to this legion. Much like *Pokemon*, you need a male and female of the same species to produce offspring. Enclose them in a fence, and if they're fully tamed, they'll soon enter Love Mode. A few minutes later, a baby will join the family, growing to full size shortly after.
Be cautious not to overcrowd your pens, as this can hinder breeding. It's more effective to use smaller pens and move animals in pairs for breeding. While this might seem tedious as you advance in *Necesse*, automation can save you the trouble of constant animal shuffling.
How To Automate Breeding in Necesse
Not everyone is cut out for the daily grind of husbandry, and that's perfectly fine. Once you can recruit Settlers, you'll find an Animal Keeper who can manage all your animal care needs, including keeping Feeding Troughs stocked. This ensures your breeding pairs remain happy and productive. While you'll still need to oversee the process, the bulk of the work is off your shoulders, letting you prioritize other aspects of your settlement.
And there you have it—a comprehensive guide to animal husbandry and breeding in *Necesse*.
