"Necesse: Ultimate Guide to Animal Breeding"

In survival games, there's always more than one approach to achieving your goals. In Necesse, while strategies may vary, the constant is the art of breeding. Here’s your comprehensive guide to mastering breeding in Necesse.

How to Tame Animals in Necesse

Before you can start playing matchmaker with your livestock, you need to know how to keep them in your settlement. Taming animals in Necesse is similar to Minecraft; you offer them a treat, in this case, Wheat, which you can easily obtain. If you've been playing for a few hours, you've likely already planted Wheat Seeds around your base, but you can also find Wheat in caves.

You can feed Wheat directly to the animals or use Feeding Troughs for a more efficient approach. Feeding Troughs save time, allowing you to focus on fortifying your settlement and defending against raiders. However, neglecting to refill these troughs can lead to dire outcomes, as hungry animals may lose their taming progress. When managed correctly, all animals in your settlement will become loyal, setting the stage for breeding.

How to Breed Animals in Necesse

With a loyal animal army at your side, your possibilities in Necesse expand vastly. Breeding is straightforward but requires a male and female of the same species, much like in Pokemon. Construct a fenced area for the pair, and if they're fully tamed, they'll enter Love Mode. After a few minutes, a baby animal will appear in the pen and grow to full size shortly thereafter.

Be aware that overcrowding can hinder the breeding process. It's advisable to use smaller, dedicated breeding pens and move animals as needed. While this might seem time-consuming, especially as you advance in Necesse, there's a way to automate the process, freeing you from constant animal management.

How to Automate Breeding in Necesse

Not everyone enjoys the intricacies of husbandry, and Necesse offers a solution. Once you can recruit Settlers, you can assign an Animal Keeper to manage all husbandry tasks in your settlement, including maintaining the Feeding Troughs. This keeps your animals content and facilitates the breeding process. While you'll still need to oversee operations, the bulk of the animal care will no longer be your primary concern.

And that's your complete guide to animal husbandry and breeding in Necesse.
