Husbandry

Animal management for sustainable resource production and transportation

Overview

Husbandry provides efficient leather and meat acquisition through strategic animal management. Success requires careful planning of breeding programs, habitat management, and transportation logistics.

Animal Varieties

Wildlife Diversity

• 50 different animals 10 for each biome
• Meat & Hide There are 10 different meats and 10 different hides

Getting Started

Breeding Requirements

• Tame animals of both sexes
• House breeding pairs in enclosed spaces or pens
• Maintain appropriate dietary needs for each species

Animal Capture & Management

Rope System

• Tamed animals: Simple time-based roping operation
• Wild animals: Requires lasso for initial capture
• Roped animals become non-hostile and follow owner
• Essential for transporting animals between biomes

Capture Strategy

• Use caravans to transport captured animals home
• Target animals from different biomes for variety

Transportation Benefits

Caravan Enhancement

• Tamed animals increase inventory weight capacity
• Significantly faster caravan travel speeds
• Essential for long-range exploration and trading

Management Considerations

Habitat Requirements

• Species-specific dietary needs
• Predator-prey separation essential
• Temperature comfort zones
• Adequate space for breeding populations

Resource Planning

• Sustainable breeding cycles for leather/meat
• Transportation animal reserves
• Feed production and storage
• Seasonal care requirements

Breeding Strategy

Maintain breeding pairs of multiple species to ensure steady resource production and transportation capabilities.

Predator Management

Never house predatory animals with prey species. This will result in lost livestock and disrupted breeding programs.
