Animal husbandry: Difference between revisions

__TOC__

Only the mothers heritage matters, the father is not considered when checking for the newborns generation. This means, if you have a female gen3 and a male gen4, the babies will always be gen4, as the child will always be one generation up from the mother.

Animals can consume food from 0.6 blocks away and mate at a distance of up to 10 blocks away.<br>

Males don't show their saturation, but they need a saturation value of at least 1.0 to mate. Since their satiation slowly goes down, in average they need to eat at least twice (food portion gives 1.0 satiation), to be able to mate with a female. After mating, the male animal lose 1.0 satiation and the female loses up to 10 saturation, depending on the type of animal.

== Harvesting and Butchering == <!--T:37-->  

Domesticated and/or wild animals can be killed and harvested for meat, [[Leather Working|raw hides]], [[bone|bones]], and [[fat]].

* In order to harvest, a player must {{SneakClick}} with a [[Knife]] in hand to harvest or butcher animals.

:'''''Note:''' The amount of items acquire by this method depends on the Weight Condition of the animal. ''

*'''Generation 2 and above''': Ewes can be milked easily by just holding right click while holding a bucket, however there remains a 5% chance for them to become distressed even at this and all following levels of domestication.

:'''''Note:''' Ewes cannot be milked every day, despite lactating. This can be checked by reading the tooltip.''

The milk can either be consumed directly when taken from the bucket with a bowl, or used in a barrel to make [[Cheese]].
