(You will get a warning about a critter starving. A tame critter will starve to death if left without food for long enough. There are up- and downsides to both.Ī wild critter can be hungry but cannot starve to death. Search for "automated ranch," or "evolution chamber."Ĭritters can be either wild or tamed. So you're probably better off just checking the forums for examples. I might cover ranch automation later in the guide, but there are a lot of people who are a lot better at that than I am. Unfortunately, keeping stables at a steady 7 or 8 critters requires either a lot of manual tinkering or some automation and additional building. Note, however, that the critters in the ranch will lay eggs, and the eggs count toward the cramped debuff. Then dupes won't bring more critters to that ranch, even if they are wrangled. You can set the maximum amount of critters in a stable to 8 (or 7 to have a bit of leeway). There might be too many critters in the area. If a critter is wrangled but no-one is moving it to a stable, check the critter (or fish) drop-off. You can see how many critters there are in a fish feeder's or critter drop-off's area by mousing over it. Then all the critters roaming the map (not in rooms) count towards the 20 max critters. This is particularly relevant to remember if you have a drop-off in an open area, meaning not in a room. Meaning if there are already 20 (or more) critters in a stable (or area) then dupes won't bring any critters to the drop-off. However, note that the maximum you can set it to is 20. This is useful for instance if you want to try to avoid critters getting the cramped debuff by dupes bringing too many critters to a ranch. Just building a critter drop-off or fish release isn't enough: you also need to select it and define what kinds of critters you want to have brought there.īy selecting the critter drop-off you can also set a maximum amount of critters to be brought to a stable. Including a very simple hatch ranch, which will give you a steady supply of coal (if that's what you're after). There are some pictures of example ranches at the end of the guide. You can ignore pretty much everything I have written and come back to it as needed. Don't be intimidated - ranching doesn't need to be complex or difficult. One common example is feeding hatches rock to get coal.Ĭritters aren't as fussy about heat as plants are, which is a benefit to relying on meat rather than mealwood or bristle blossoms as a food source.īarbeque, which is made from meat (using an Electric Grill, found under Food), is also a higher-quality meal than bristle blossoms or mealwood.īefore we move on: I realize this section contains a lot of stuff. Or, if we want to be precise, to exchange resources for other resources - you exchange whatever you feed your critters for the resources the critters provide. Ranching is an easy(ish) way to get some useful resources. If you're still reading, let's move on to some benefits to ranching. So the first thing to say about ranching is that it is useful but optional. Usually for some kind of tradition or because people believe that they have some healing effects or some other reason.A long (long, long) time ago, back in early (early, early) access, ranching was a necessity( *). There are still countries where these animals that we considered pets since so long ago are eaten. I could speculate and say that while there are many reasons cats and dogs were chosen as pets, we wouldn't have made them our pets if they had great value as food source. Pork is easier to produce because pigs literally eat anything and are easy to breed so it is cheaper compared to some other options.ĭogs have been domesticated literally over twenty thousand years ago and cats under ten thousand years, don't remember the exact dates but you can look it up if you are interested. This seems partially true but obviously some animals have much more worth when it comes to producing food.Ĭhicken can lay eggs and be eaten for meat, cows and many other big animals that we eat can be milked or give some other produce and be eaten. Hell, if people had strong emotional attachments to balloons, it would be very frowned upon to pop them. If people would have emotional attachments to chicken similar to cats and dogs, we wouldn't be eating chicken (but something else)
