Trough: Difference between revisions

After placing a trough, players may fill the trough with food by right-clicking with a food item in the active hand. Small troughs only accept {{ll|Grain|Grain}}, and can feed only {{ll|Chicken|chickens}}. Large troughs accept a greater variety, and can feed {{ll|Pid|pigs}}, {{ll|Sheep|sheep}}, and {{ll|Goat|goats}}. See {{ll|Animal husbandry|animal husbandry}} for which animals eat which food types.  

Wild animals near a trough containing food of their diet type will be mildly attracted toward it. One method of capturing animals for {{ll|Animal Husbandry|domestication}} is to place a filled trough inside a pit, so that animals can fall into the pit but not jump back out.  How deep the pit needs to be depends on the step height of the animal in question.  A trough can also be placed on top of a fence, to keep it out of reach of animals that approach.  This lets the player conserve food while luring animals to the desired location.
