In the sprawling world of Necesse, survival takes many forms, 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'll need tamed animals. Similar to Minecraft, taming in Necesse involves offering animals wheat. You can easily obtain wheat by planting wheat seeds (likely already done if you've played for a while) or by finding it in caves. Feed wheat directly or use Feeding Troughs for a less time-consuming approach, allowing you to focus on other aspects of your settlement. Remember, neglecting troughs leads to lost taming progress. Once tamed, your animal companions are ready for the next step.
How to Breed Animals in Necesse
With a tamed animal army, expansion is easier through breeding. Like in Pokémon, you'll need one male and one female of the same species. Place them in an enclosed area; once fully tamed, they'll enter "Love Mode," eventually producing an offspring. Allow a few minutes for the baby animal to grow to full size.
Note: Overcrowding can hinder breeding. Smaller, dedicated breeding pens are recommended, transferring animals individually as needed. While this might seem tedious, automation offers a solution.
Automating Breeding in Necesse
For those less inclined to micromanage, recruiting Settlers unlocks the Animal Keeper. Assign this Settler to handle all husbandry tasks, including trough refills, ensuring animal happiness and streamlining the breeding process. While you'll still need to oversee things, it significantly reduces the workload.
This concludes our complete guide to animal breeding in Necesse.
Necesse is currently available in Early Access on Steam.
