LIVESTOCK

LIVESTOCK

This patch we are introducing cows and sheep.

What resources can THEY GIVE?

Both produce dung , cows produce milk, and sheep produce wool .

They can also be harvested for meat, bones and leather like any other animal.

Additionally, you can sell a grown animal to an NPC in the ranch.

There are multiple ways to capture wild livestock, some more efficient than others, but they should all be pretty intuitive.

When the new navmesh is enabled, NPCs can enter player structures and respect doors opening/closing, so the sky is the limit.

Like plants, they have genetics and needs, and can be bred to hunt for a god clone.

However, the genes won't behave exactly like plants, so old techniques may not apply.

WILL IT TANK PERFORMANCE?

Each game frame, only a subset of the NPCs are processed, up to a hardcoded max time per frame.

This is a summary of an official announcement.

The complete post, with all details and patch notes, is on Steam. All rights belong to the developer.
