Introduction

A domesticated animal is a wild animal that has been tamed. As such it can be used to produce resources, e.g.milk or wool. It is also possible to carry a domesticated animal that has been "objectified" and bring it to another location, indoors or just keep it in your inventory.

To domesticate an animal, you start by viewing the animals available at the location. From the location page, click the animal icon, and then click Domestication. Activating the radio button next to a pack of animals will high-light any possible action you may perform. In this case Taming. Clicking this will start a project to tame that animal.

When an animal has been domesticated it will appear on the Objects page, and you can pick it up, put it in a vehicle or building and so on. For the latter you need to build a trough and keep hay or feed in it. You can also use some feeding device, like plate, platter or a sack with the food stored in it.

Preparations

It is wise to be somewhat prepared when trying to domesticate an animal. The taming project will require hay, which in turn is produced in a haystack. The domesticated animals will need hay or feed in a suitable container, like a trough, or they will surely abandon you very soon. Different animals have different food needs, so it can be a good idea to make different foods if you are not sure what is required. There are some tools you will need, for example a dung-fork.

Interaction

Other

You can pet your domesticated animal, point at it like any other object or animal. You may also add and remove it from a pack.
