Animals can be breed only outside. Most of options would need to be implemented from scratch to make them work for animal objects and there's no reason to make a change like that.


sorry, I should clarify.
I didn't mean to breed them indoors only to produce goods like more of their meats wool, eggs milk
for example, I tried putting an animal indoors for a few years I kept checking fattened the whole time
but every time I checked to butcher.. I would always get low meat so I would just not butcher and wait and wait.
eventually I couldn't keep wasting the feed so I sent them out again so they could yield very high meat
I was wondering if I can ever get very high meat amount from butchering an animal raised indoors?
I never tried having a loose animal outdoors for a year to see if that would work.. do they have to be raised for a while in a pack to become very high meat? or just outdoors?


They have to be in a pack to increase meat or other renewables (eggs, milk, wool etc) It's explained in posts in this thread, you just kind of have to go back a few pages.

On that subject, I was wondering if certain animals were supposed to take much longer than others to increase meat? Because I am caring for this one particular pack of animals and wow I've never seen it take this long to go from below average to very high. I hope that translates into there being more meat.

How do I feed my tamed hawk? I have a grass basket, some meat feed, what should I do with them to feed the hawk?

Put the meat feed in the grass basket and keep the grass basket in your inventory if you're holding the hawk, or on the ground/floor of the same place where the hawk is if it's on the ground/floor.

I've tried to find out in game this answer but it's really difficult to test so here goes. Does having more animals in a pack increase the amount of raws that you get when collecting? For example if I have 1 sheep in a pack and collect wool will it be less that if there are 3 sheep when I start collecting? (assume that each time the level of wool is "very high")

Question: is there a way to get a steed on a ship? I know a tame animal can be dragged like any object, but you need about four characters to do so. When you are on/in your steed, you usually can't see other buildings and vehicles, so I wonder how it would work. Would be very nice for my explorer to get a ferry to the next island.

There is. I've seen it happen. Don't know how but I think steeds are programmed to be more trusting than other domesticated animals - the owner can drag them on their own, but if anyone else tries it takes 4 or more characters, or something like that.

I swear I helped a character move a camel, their camel, onto a ship.

I've done this several times as well, across a variety of steeds.

To be able to move a steed to a ship it has to be unsaddled. The owner can then, under the right circumstances, move (drag) it all alone.
The steed will use the space of about 2 people, so be certain the ship has enough space left!
I think ...

Well, camels are noted in real life for being very stubborn.

So if I understand correctly, first the vehicle has to be turned into an object by unsaddling it, than the animal can be moved by one character, but only if it's loyal to that character.
And then of course at the other side you would have to resaddle your steed. Doable, but not something to do too often.

Not everybody can singlehandedly drag an animal that is loyal to them, it requires a certain amount of strength. But two people should be enough, as long as one of them is the owner.

You also need a wheelbarrow or improved wheelbarrow to hope to be able to move large steeds by yourself.

IIRC characters get a 4x dragging bonus on their loyal steeds. With the largest steeds weighing 150 kilos you'd have to be able to drag 37.5 kilos of normal weight on your own without a wheelbarrow in order to drag a loyal steed. That's something I think only the strongest characters can do.

So weird..is there some kind of odd increase on hay consumption for buffalo? I've had three buffalo eat 780 hay total in about a day.
