Domestication is the concept of animals slightly losing fear and aggressiveness towards players over generations.
 
'''Domestication''' is the concept of animals slightly losing fear and aggressiveness towards players over generations.

Vintage Story includes a number of game mechanics that allow the domestication of some of the animals that roam the world. To domesticate animals, players must capture at least one male and one female so that offspring can be bred in a place where these animals don't have a chance of being hunted and killed by predators. The animals behavior changes after multiple generations - you can't change aggressiveness and fear of a specific animal, only their offspring will be less fearful and agressive towards the player. Even after reaching high generations, [[boar]]s and bighorn [[sheep]] will still become aggressive when attacked.

For capturing wild animals, two different methods can be employed:
For capturing wild animals, two different methods can be employed:
# '''Active:''' Provoke the wild boars/pigs or bighorn sheep with a weak attack. In return, the animal will try to attack the player. If the player then runs away from them, they will follow for a short distance. This behavior can be used to guide them into carefully prepared animal pens. If you encounter a group of animals together, try only antagonizing the males, as the females will automatically follow their male counterpart. Wild hens will always try to flee from the player, while wild roosters will occasionally try to attack; again, use this to your advantage by chasing them into a pen.

# '''Passive:''' In an area nearby the animals to capture, dig a pit at least 2 blocks deep and place a [[Trough|trough]] with food portions in it. Wait for the animals to fall into the pit trap, and convert the pit into the animal pen. Players can also chase wild chickens into this pit trap.

Moving animals around can be complicated after the player has already started breeding them, as animals will loose their fear of the player after generation 10, and might not easily run away or be provoked to attack and follow.

Therefore, as an alternative to the above mentioned methods, a funnelling technique can be employed to move animals or even separate them if need be, for instance to cull lower generations.<br>

All animals must consume portions of feed in order to breed. {{Using|Placing}} 8 [[dry grass]] or 2 [[grain]] into a trough players can feed animals. Both male and female animals must eat until they become saturated. The {{BlockInfo}} shows the level of saturation when a player looks at an animal. It will also show the creature weight, generation, whether an animal is ready to breed, to milking and if it may disappear due to darkness.<br>

[[Boar]]s eat animal feed placed in a [[Trough|large trough]]. The Sows will need a satiety value of 10 before they are ready to mate. After a pregnancy of 25 ingame days, sows bear litters of multiple piglets (4-6) at a time, so be sure the pen is large enough to accommodate for a "pigsplosion", which may occur when breeding multiple females simultaneously. Piglets will need 158 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>

[[Sheep]] eat animal feed placed in a [[Trough|large trough]]. Troughs hold portions of dry grass or grains and sheep will consume either grass or grain. The Ewes will need a satiety value of 10 before they are willing to mate. After a pregnancy time of 20 days, ewes bear one lamb at a time, chances for male or female are 50/50. Lambs will take 336 hours to grow up, and the Ewes will need 4-11 days break before they are ready to breed again.<br>

[[Chicken]]s will only eat grain placed in [[Trough|small troughs]]. Although hens will lay eggs on their own every 8-15 days, a hen needs to reach a satiety of 4 and have a rooster close before they can mate to produce fertile eggs. Once ready, a henbox will be necessary, as hens will lay eggs in them by preference and will need to sit on them to start the incubation. If every henbox is occupied, hens wanting to lay will start laying eggs on the ground, from where they can be picked up (with a 2 day limit before they disappear). Once the henbox has 3 eggs, a broody hen will sit on them periodically for 5 days until they hatch. If a player or other hostile entity gets too close they mighr get spooked and prolong the incubation period. Once the eggs hatch, a chick will appear, which will grow up after 168 hours (7 days), with a 90% chance to be a hen and only a 10% chance to be a rooster. Once a hen has laid an egg, they will have a cooldown period of 1-2 hours before they're ready to lay again.

Foxes, hares, hyenas, raccoons, and wolves can be hunted for their meat, [[fat]], hides and [[bone]]s. Hunting [[Drifter]]s can provide you with [[flax]], [[rusty gears]] and [[temporal gear]]. [[Locust]]s however, have no drops so they only provide a distraction to harvest.
