Essential Guide: Animal Husbandry for Breeders

by Caleb Feb 22,2025

In Necesse, thriving requires more than just combat prowess; animal husbandry plays a crucial role. This guide details the breeding mechanics, from taming to automation.

Taming Animals in Necesse

A cow in Necesse as part of a complete animal husbandry breeding guide.Before breeding, you must tame your animals. Similar to Minecraft, use Wheat as a pacifier. Wheat is readily available through farming or cave exploration. Feed animals directly or utilize Feeding Troughs for efficiency, ensuring regular replenishment to prevent taming progress loss. Fully tamed animals are ready for breeding.

Breeding Animals in Necesse

Breeding in Necesse mirrors the mechanics of Pokémon: one male and one female of the same species are required. Enclose them within a fence; once tamed, they'll naturally enter breeding mode. After a short period, a baby animal will appear, subsequently growing to adulthood.

Note: Overcrowding may hinder breeding. Smaller, dedicated breeding pens are recommended, transferring animals individually as needed. However, automation offers a solution.

Automating Breeding in Necesse

For those less inclined towards hands-on husbandry, recruiting Settlers unlocks the Animal Keeper role. Assigning this role automates feeding and maintenance, freeing you from the constant need to manage your livestock. While oversight is still necessary, this significantly streamlines the process.

This comprehensive guide covers Necesse's animal breeding system.

Necesse is currently available in Early Access on Steam.
