"Necesse: Ultimate Guide to Animal Breeding"

In survival games, there's always more than one way to approach challenges, and Necesse is no exception. While the game offers various playstyles, one constant is the importance of breeding. Here's a comprehensive guide to mastering animal husbandry in Necesse.

How To Tame Animals in Necesse

Before you can start breeding, you need to tame animals and make them part of your settlement. The taming process in Necesse is similar to Minecraft, where you win over animals by offering them treats. In this case, Wheat is the key, which is readily available. If you've been playing for a while, you've likely already planted Wheat Seeds around your settlement, but you can also find Wheat in caves.

To tame animals, you can either feed them Wheat directly or use Feeding Troughs. The latter option is more efficient, freeing up your time to focus on other aspects of your settlement, like defense against raiders. However, it's crucial to keep the Troughs filled; neglecting them can lead to animals losing their taming progress. When done correctly, all animals in your settlement will become loyal, setting the stage for breeding.

How To Breed Animals in Necesse

Once you have a tamed animal population, breeding becomes your next step to expand your livestock. Similar to Pokemon, breeding in Necesse requires a male and female of the same species. Enclose them in a pen, and if they're fully tamed, they'll enter Love Mode. After a short wait, a baby animal will appear, which will grow to full size in a few more minutes.

It's important to manage the number of animals in a pen to avoid stalling the breeding process. Smaller, dedicated breeding pens are more effective, and transferring animals one at a time can help. While this might seem time-consuming, especially as you progress in Necesse, there's a way to automate this process.

How To Automate Breeding in Necesse

Not everyone enjoys the intricacies of animal husbandry, and Necesse offers a solution. Once you can recruit Settlers, you can hire an Animal Keeper. Assigning this role to a Settler will automate the feeding and care of your animals, including those designated for breeding. This keeps your livestock happy and healthy, allowing you to focus on other aspects of your settlement. However, you'll still need to ensure everything runs smoothly.

And that's the complete animal husbandry breeding guide for Necesse.
