Vintage Story | Vintage Story includes a number of game mechanics that allow the domestication of some of the animals that roam the world. To domesticate animals, you must capture at least one male and one female so that you can breed offspring in "captivity". After 20 generations, wild animals are considered to be "domesticated" and no longer fear the player. Even after domestication, Boars and Bighorn sheep will still become aggressive when attacked. | ||
Animals | == Capturing Wild Animals == | ||
Two methods exist to capture wild animals for domestication. | |||
# Active: Provoke the wild boars/pigs or bighorn sheep with a weak attack. In return, boars and sheep will try to attack you. If you run away from them, they will follow for a short distance and you can use their behavior to guide them into your carefully prepared animal pen. Wild chickens always try to flee from the player, again, you can use this to your advantage by chasing the chickens into your pen. | |||
# Passive: In an area nearby the animals you wish to capture, dig a pit at least 2 blocks deep and place a trough with food portions in it. Wait for the animals to fall into the pit trap, and convert the pit into your animal pen. You can also chase wild chickens into this pit trap. | |||
== | == Pigs == | ||
[[Wild_Pig|Pigs]] eat animal feed placed in a [[Planks|large trough]]. Troughs hold portions of dry grass (8) or grains (2) and pigs will generally eat anything. After eating a number of portions and reaching saturation, the females become pregnant and after several days, they will bear offspring. Sows bear litters of multiple piglets (4-8) at a time, so be sure your pen is large enough to accommodate "pigsplosion", which may occur if you breed multiple females simultaneously. Note that male boars (and sometimes sows) will attack players when in close range, but they will stop doing so as they become deomesticated. | |||
== Sheep == | |||
[[Bighorn_sheep|Sheep]] eat animal feed placed in a [[Planks|large trough]]. Troughs hold portions of dry grass (8) or grains (2) and sheep will consume either grass or grain. After eating a number of portions and reaching saturation, the females become pregnant and after several days, they will bear offspring. Ewes bear one lamb at a time. Note that male sheep (and sometimes the females) always attack players when in close range, but they will stop doing so after 10 generations of breeding. | |||
== Chickens == | |||
[[Chicken|Chickens]] will only eat grain placed in [[Planks|small troughs]]. Baby chicks are *not* preceded by eggs - they appear like other baby animals. Hens will lay eggs on the ground every 8-15 in-game days, which can be used in cooked foods (and do not have any impact on breeding new chickens). You should collect the eggs regularly, as they disappear within 2 days. | |||
===Harvesting and Butchering=== | |||
Domesticated (or wild) animals can be killed and harvested for meat, leather, bones, and fat. Sneak + hold right mouse with a knife in hand to harvest or butcher animals. | |||
== Other animals == | == Other animals == | ||
Foxes, Wolves, Locusts and Drifters | Foxes, Wolves, Hares, Locusts, and Drifters cannot be domesticated. | ||
Foxes and Wolves can be harvested for bushmeat, fats, hides etc. Hares and Monsters (hostile mobs) such as drifters and locusts are not harvestable. | |||
