In survival games, versatility is key, and *Necesse* offers multiple paths to success. Yet, one constant remains: the importance of breeding. Here’s your comprehensive guide to mastering breeding in *Necesse*.

How To Tame Animals in Necesse

Before you can start breeding, you need to tame your livestock. Taming in *Necesse* mirrors *Minecraft*'s method, where you win an animal's affection with treats. In this case, Wheat is your go-to resource, easily obtained by planting Wheat Seeds or found in caves. You can feed Wheat directly to the animals or use Feeding Troughs for a more efficient approach, freeing up time for other settlement tasks like defense against raiders. However, neglecting to refill the Troughs can lead to animals losing taming progress due to hunger. Successfully tamed, these animals will become loyal members of your settlement, ready for breeding.

How To Breed Animals in Necesse

With a tamed animal army, your potential in *Necesse* is boundless. Breeding is straightforward: you need a male and female of the same species, much like in *Pokemon*. Enclose them in a pen, and if fully tamed, they'll enter Love Mode. After a short wait, a baby will appear, growing to full size within minutes. Be cautious not to overcrowd the pen, as this can hinder breeding. Opt for smaller, dedicated breeding pens and move animals as needed. While this might seem time-consuming, especially as you advance in the game, there's a way to streamline the process.

How To Automate Breeding in Necesse

Not everyone enjoys the intricacies of husbandry, and *Necesse* understands this. Once you can recruit Settlers, you can hire an Animal Keeper to manage all aspects of animal care, including maintaining Feeding Troughs. This ensures your breeding animals remain content and productive. While you'll still need to oversee the overall process, the daily management of animals becomes less of a priority.

And that concludes our complete animal husbandry breeding guide for *Necesse*.
