Season ranching
Raise chickens, cows, sheep and pigs for ingredients, materials and a saddled-pig mount.
Getting animals#
Buy a young animal from the farmer, or use a crafted lead to cage an eligible wild animal. Place it on permitted ground.
Feed and collect#
Hold suitable food and interact with a grown animal to feed it; use its care panel to collect products. Chickens eat wheat, beetroot, melon or pumpkin seeds and produce eggs; cows and sheep eat wheat, producing milk and wool; pigs eat carrots, potatoes or beetroot and produce bone meal. Young animals neither eat nor produce.
Growth and products#
Young animals grow up in 2 hours (chicks), 4 hours (calves), 2.5 hours (lambs), 3 hours (piglets). Feeding lasts 6 hours; one product is made every 3 hours, with at most 2 waiting. Collect before the holding limit wastes further output.
Breeding and packing#
Feed two grown animals of the same species, then provide breeding food. Breeding cooldown is 4 hours. Collect products and wait out breeding cooldown before packing. Packing clears feeding; a young animal restarts its growth timer on release.
Meat and mounts#
Use the care panel to slaughter a grown cow for 2 raw beef and 1 leather, or a grown pig for 2 raw porkchops. A saddle can turn a grown ranch pig into your saddled-pig mount instead. These actions remove the ranch animal; do not use them when you only mean to collect products.
Space and persistence#
A private area holds 8 animals. Ordinary wilderness pens belong to the current seasonal map; private-area pens persist between seasons. Inventory space is checked before products or packed animals are transferred.
