Necesse: Complete Animal Husbandry Breeding Guide

In the sprawling world of *Necesse*, survival takes many forms, but one constant remains: the art of animal breeding. This guide unravels the secrets of breeding in *Necesse*, offering a comprehensive walkthrough from taming to automation.

How To Tame Animals in *Necesse*

Before embarking on your animal husbandry journey, you'll need to tame your chosen livestock. Similar to Minecraft, this involves offering a tasty treat—wheat—to win their affection. Wheat is readily available; you've likely already cultivated it, but it can also be found in caves.

Feed wheat directly to animals or, for greater efficiency, utilize Feeding Troughs. Troughs minimize hands-on time, allowing you to focus on other settlement tasks. However, neglecting to refill troughs will hinder taming progress, so keep those hungry mouths fed! Once tamed, your animal companions are ready for the next stage: breeding.

With a loyal animal army at your command, expansion becomes much easier. Breeding is the key, and the process is surprisingly straightforward. Like in Pokémon, you'll need a male and female of the same species (no Ditto-like shenanigans here). Enclose them in a shared pen. Once fully tamed, they'll naturally enter "Love Mode," resulting in the arrival of a baby animal after a short wait. A little more time, and your offspring will reach adulthood.

Keep in mind that overcrowding can impede the breeding process. For optimal results, create smaller, dedicated breeding pens, transferring animals one at a time. While this may seem tedious, especially in the later stages of the game, there's a solution for automation.

How To Automate Breeding in *Necesse*

Not everyone enjoys micromanaging livestock. Fortunately, once you can recruit Settlers, an Animal Keeper can handle all husbandry duties, including trough refills, ensuring your animals remain content and breeding continues smoothly. While you'll still need to oversee the overall process, animal management becomes significantly less demanding.

This concludes our comprehensive guide to animal breeding in Necesse.
