In the sprawling world of *Necesse*, survival takes many forms, but one constant remains: the art of animal breeding. This guide unravels the secrets to successful livestock management and breeding in *Necesse*.

Taming Animals in *Necesse*

Before you become a livestock matchmaker, you need to tame your animals. Similar to Minecraft, offer them wheat—a readily available resource found through farming or in caves. Feed wheat directly or utilize Feeding Troughs for a more efficient, hands-off approach. Remember, neglecting troughs leads to lost taming progress, so keep those troughs full! Once tamed, your animal companions are ready for the next step.

Breeding Animals in *Necesse*

With a loyal animal army, expansion becomes easier. Breeding is simple: pair a male and female of the same species (no Dittos here!). Enclose them in a pen; once tamed, they'll enter "Love Mode," eventually producing offspring. Allow a few minutes for the baby to grow to full size.

Note: Overcrowding can hinder breeding. Smaller, dedicated breeding pens are recommended, transferring animals in as needed. While this might seem tedious, there’s a solution…

Automating Breeding in *Necesse*

For those less inclined to micromanage, recruit a Settler with the Animal Keeper profession. This dedicated individual will handle feeding and ensure your animals’ well-being, streamlining the breeding process. While you’ll still oversee the operation, it significantly reduces the workload.

This comprehensive guide covers all aspects of animal breeding in Necesse.
