Mechanics Worth Knowing
- A feeding trough holds food for animals.
- A water trough for animals can be filled with a water can and also fills automatically during rain.
- An animal receiving station marks the destination for animal transport.
- Animals automatically stay near their feeding trough as long as it’s filled.
- Animals can be transported to other places using an animal transporter. Place the base where you want to bring them, then use the transporter to move the animal to that base.
- Animals will follow you if you’re holding their favorite food.
- For animals to reproduce, you need two of the same species with all needs fulfilled. Each animal requires its own shelter to fulfill its needs. Animals will only breed if there’s an available shelter nearby.
- Happy animals produce resources that can be collected in the basket at the shelter.
- Includes feeder, water trough, and a cozy chicken shelter for basic animal care.
- Pig shelter: pigs sleep there and take shelter during rain; happy pigs produce truffles beside the shelter.

How To Use This Reference
Animal pages are about outputs and care loops. Place shelters near troughs, crops, and food baskets. Happy pigs and sheep have named products, so the goal is not just owning animals; it is keeping them cared for in a spot you check often. Delay animal transport until the destination base is actually ready.
