Crops and livestock
Livestock Farming Basics
Tamed livestock produce eggs, milk or wool on the raft when supplied with Grass.
WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Livestock Farming Basics
Large islands are capture sites; keep tamed animals in a fenced raft pen with a Grass Plot.
Before you go
- Net Launcher and Net Canister for capture.
- Fenced pen on the raft with a watered Grass Plot.
- Bucket for Goat milk and Shears for Llama wool.
Farming steps
- Find a Clucker, Goat or Llama on a large island and approach with the Net Launcher equipped with a Net Canister.
- Fire the launcher to capture the animal, then transport it back to the raft.
- Build a fenced pen around a Grass Plot and water the plot so Grass can grow.
- Place the captured animal inside the pen and keep Grass available as its feed.
- Collect eggs from Cluckers, use a Bucket to collect Goat milk, or use Shears to gather Llama wool.
- Store each product for the recipes or provisions that need it, and check that the animal still has access to Grass.
- Water the plot as needed so the pen continues to provide feed.
- Build and water the pen before capture so the animal has a prepared home on arrival.
- Keep tools and storage close to the pen to make collection part of routine raft maintenance.
Repeat, collect and use
Livestock are a continuing production setup: maintain Grass, then collect eggs, milk or wool as the relevant animal produces it. Capturing animals is a limited island activity until you find another one.
Common mistakes
- Expecting crop vegetables or flowers to feed animals: livestock need Grass from Grass Plots.
- Capturing without a pen: prepare fenced, watered Grass first.
- Forgetting the product tool: bring a Bucket for milk and Shears for wool; eggs are collected from Cluckers.
When to stop or switch
Keep an animal while its product is useful and you can maintain Grass; reduce the pen or stop expanding when feed and storage are stretched.
