"Necesse: Full Guide to Animal Breeding"

In survival games, versatility is key, and *Necesse* is no exception. While players can explore numerous gameplay strategies, one constant remains: breeding. Here’s your comprehensive guide to mastering animal husbandry in *Necesse*.

How To Tame Animals in Necesse

Before you can start breeding, you need to tame animals and make them part of your settlement. Taming in *Necesse* is reminiscent of *Minecraft*'s method, where you offer animals treats to win their affection. In this case, Wheat is your go-to resource, which you can easily cultivate by planting Wheat Seeds around your base or scavenging in caves.

You can feed Wheat directly to the animals, or for a more efficient approach, set up Feeding Troughs. This method frees up your time for other tasks like fortifying your settlement against raiders. However, remember to keep the Troughs replenished; neglecting them can cause animals to lose their taming progress. Successfully tamed, these animals will become loyal members of your community, ready for breeding.

How To Breed Animals in Necesse

With a tamed animal population, you're set to expand your livestock through breeding. Similar to *Pokemon*, breeding requires a male and female of the same species. Enclose them in a fenced area, and if both are fully tamed, they’ll enter Love Mode. After a short wait, a baby animal will appear, growing to full size within a few minutes.

Be cautious not to overcrowd pens, as this can hinder breeding. Opt for smaller, dedicated breeding pens, and consider moving animals in pairs to optimize the process. While this might seem time-consuming, especially as you advance in *Necesse*, there's a solution to streamline your efforts.

How To Automate Breeding in Necesse

Not everyone enjoys the intricacies of animal husbandry, and that's perfectly fine. Once you reach the stage where you can recruit Settlers, you can enlist the help of an Animal Keeper. Assign this Settler to manage all husbandry tasks, including maintaining the Feeding Troughs. This ensures all your animals, including breeding pairs, remain content and cared for. While you'll still need to oversee the process, the bulk of the work is taken off your shoulders.

That concludes your ultimate guide to animal husbandry and breeding in *Necesse*.
