Animals
Solarpunk animal guide covering chickens, pigs, sheep, shelters, feeding, watering, happy animal products, truffles, milk, eggs, and transport.
Animals are a care loop. Chickens, pigs, and sheep need nearby shelter, food, water, and collection routes before they become useful.
What To Do With It
- Keep feeding, water, and shelter on the same walking route as crops.
- Happy pigs drop truffles at the pig shelter over time.
- Happy sheep leave milk while resting in the sheep shelter.
- Animal Transport lets you move animals between islands after the related unlock.
Player Route
Place animals where care is hard to forget: near crops, water, and the food basket route. Pigs and sheep have clear happiness-based outputs, so shelter comfort and regular care are not cosmetic. Wait to expand animal count until feeding, water, and product collection already fit into one short loop.
Game Behavior
- Research text names Pig Shelter, Sheep Shelter, Animal Basics Pack, Better Animal Feed, and Animal Transport.
- Gameplay tips say happy animals produce resources collected in the basket at the shelter.
- The animal path includes chicken, pig, sheep, food basket, feed, water troughs, powered troughs, and animal transport parts.
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.
