In survival games, there's always more than one way to approach challenges, and *Necesse* is no exception. While gameplay can vary widely, 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. You can feed Wheat directly to the animals or use Feeding Troughs for a more efficient approach. This allows you more time to focus on fortifying your settlement and fending off raiders. However, remember to keep the Troughs filled; neglecting them can lead to your animals losing 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 at your disposal, the possibilities in *Necesse* are endless. Breeding is straightforward: you need a male and female of the same species, much like in *Pokemon*. Enclose them in a pen, 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 the breeding process. For optimal results, use smaller pens and move animals in pairs. While this might seem time-consuming, especially as you advance in the game, there's a way to automate this process.
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 hire an Animal Keeper to manage all aspects of animal care, including maintaining Feeding Troughs. This keeps your animals content and ensures breeding continues smoothly. While you'll still need to oversee operations, the day-to-day management of your animals will no longer be your primary concern.
And that's your complete guide to animal husbandry and breeding in *Necesse*.
*Necesse is available now in Early Access on Steam.*
