In the diverse world of *Necesse*, survival strategies are plentiful, but one constant remains: breeding. This guide covers everything you need to know about animal husbandry in *Necesse*.
How To Tame Animals in Necesse

Before breeding, you must tame your animals. Similar to Minecraft, tame animals in Necesse by feeding them wheat. Wheat is readily available; you likely already have some from your farming efforts, or you can find it in caves. Feed wheat directly or use Feeding Troughs for a less time-consuming approach, freeing you to focus on other aspects of your settlement. Remember, neglecting the troughs will hinder taming progress. Once tamed, your animals are ready for breeding.
How To Breed Animals in Necesse
Breeding in Necesse is straightforward: you'll need one male and one female of the same species. Enclose them in a pen; once fully tamed, they'll naturally enter "Love Mode" and produce offspring. Allow a few minutes for the baby animal to appear and grow to full size.
Keep in mind that overcrowding a pen can hinder breeding. For optimal results, use smaller pens and transfer animals individually. While this might seem tedious, automation offers a solution.
How To Automate Breeding in Necesse
Once you can recruit Settlers, hire an Animal Keeper. This settler will manage all husbandry tasks, including refilling Feeding Troughs, ensuring your animals remain content and breeding progresses smoothly. While automation helps, you’ll still need to oversee the overall process.
