All animals must consume portions of feed in order to breed. {{Using|Placing}} | All animals must consume portions of feed in order to breed. {{Using|Placing}} the appropriate amount of [[dry grass]], {{ll|grain|grain}}, or [[vegetable]]<nowiki/>s into a trough allows players to feed different animals, depending on their food preference. Both male and female animals must eat until they become satiated in order to produce offspring. The {{BlockInfo}} shows the level of satiation when a player looks at an animal. It will also show the creature weight, generation, whether an animal is ready to breed, ready for milking, or at risk of disappearing due to darkness.<br> | ||

Each food portion gives 1.0 satiation. | Each food portion gives 1.0 satiation. Larger female mammals need to eat 10 portions, hens need 4, and hares need 2 ''after'' reaching the "Ready to mate" stage for it to count towards a pregnancy. Males don't show their satiation in the {{BlockInfo}}, but they need a satiation value of at least 1.0 to mate. (Note that since their satiation slowly goes down, on average they need to eat at least twice to be able to mate with a female). After mating, both the male and female parents’ satiation level will reset to zero. | ||

{{ll|Pig|Pigs}} eat food placed in a {{ll|Trough|large trough}}. Once the sows are ready to mate, they need to eat 10 portions before they can become pregnant. After a pregnancy of 25 in-game days, sows bear litters of multiple piglets (4-6) at a time, so be sure the pen is large enough to accommodate a "pigsplosion", which may occur when breeding multiple females simultaneously. Piglets take 158 game-hours to grow up, with a chance of 75% to be female and 25% to be male. Sows will have 6-11 days of "cooldown" time before they can breed again.<br> | {{ll|Pig|Pigs}} eat food placed in a {{ll|Trough|large trough}}: any grains (except rice), certain vegetables (turnips, carrots, onions, cabbage, and pumpkin), and fruit mash.
