In survival games, there's always more than one way to approach challenges, and Necesse is no exception. While gameplay can vary widely, one constant is the importance of breeding. Here's a comprehensive guide to breeding in Necesse.
How To Tame Animals in Necesse
Before you can start breeding, you need to tame animals and bring them into your settlement. Taming in Necesse mirrors Minecraft's system, where you win over animals by offering them treats. In this case, Wheat is your key to their hearts, and it's readily available. If you've been playing for a while, you've likely already planted Wheat Seeds or found them in caves.
To tame, you can either feed Wheat directly to the animals or use Feeding Troughs, which is more efficient as it frees up your time for other tasks like fortifying your settlement against raiders. However, neglecting to refill the Troughs can lead to your animals losing taming progress due to hunger. Successfully tamed, these animals will become part of your settlement, ready for breeding.
How To Breed Animals in Necesse
Once you have a tamed group, breeding becomes your next step to expanding your animal army. Similar to Pokemon, breeding requires a male and female of the same species. Enclose them in a pen, and if they're fully tamed, they'll enter Love Mode. After a short wait, a baby animal will appear, growing to full size in just a few more minutes.

Be cautious not to overcrowd your pens, as this can hinder the breeding process. Opt for smaller, dedicated breeding pens and move animals in as needed. While this might seem time-consuming, especially as you progress in Necesse, there's a way to automate the process.
How To Automate Breeding in Necesse
Not everyone enjoys the nitty-gritty of animal husbandry, and that's where the Animal Keeper comes in. Once you can recruit Settlers, assign an Animal Keeper to handle all aspects of husbandry, including maintaining the Feeding Troughs. This keeps your animals content and focused on breeding. While you'll still need to oversee operations, the day-to-day management of your animals will no longer be your top concern.
And that concludes our complete animal husbandry breeding guide for Necesse.
