In the sprawling world of *Necesse*, survival takes many forms, but one constant remains: breeding. This guide unravels the secrets of animal husbandry in *Necesse*, from taming to automated breeding.
How To Tame Animals in Necesse

Before embarking on your animal breeding journey, you'll need to tame your livestock. Similar to Minecraft, taming in Necesse involves offering animals a tasty treat—wheat. Wheat is readily available; you likely already have a surplus from your farming endeavors, but you can also find it in caves. Feed wheat directly to animals or, for a more efficient approach, use Feeding Troughs. Troughs save time, but neglecting to refill them will halt taming progress. Keep your troughs stocked, and soon your animal companions will be ready to contribute to your settlement and breeding program.
How To Breed Animals in Necesse
With a loyal herd at your command, expanding your livestock becomes easier. Breeding in Necesse mirrors the mechanics of Pokemon: you'll need one male and one female of the same species. Place them together in an enclosed area. Once fully tamed, they'll enter "Love Mode," and a baby animal will soon arrive, eventually growing to adulthood.
Note: Overcrowding can hinder the breeding process. Smaller, dedicated breeding pens are recommended, moving animals in and out as needed. While this might seem tedious, especially in the later stages of the game, there's a solution.
How To Automate Breeding in Necesse
Once you can recruit Settlers, consider hiring an Animal Keeper. This dedicated individual will handle all aspects of animal husbandry, including maintaining Feeding Troughs, ensuring your animals remain content and your breeding program runs smoothly. While you'll still need to oversee the process, it significantly reduces the workload.
This comprehensive guide covers all aspects of animal breeding in Necesse.
