Guide to Ranching

Harvesting dead animals

Use a held sharp tool on an adjacent dead animal. Harm intent performs quick butchering in 30 ticks (normally three seconds); Grab intent skins and butchers in 100 ticks (normally ten seconds). Moving, changing your active hand, becoming incapacitated, disconnecting or losing the corpse/tool cancels. Only one harvesting action can claim a corpse at a time. Successful harvesting removes the corpse.

Both routes give the same meat and food byproducts. Grab selects species pelts; quick Harm butchering gives leather for supported mammals. Normal meat yield follows size: minuscule 1, tiny 2, small 3, medium 4, large 5, huge 8 separate portions. Existing pig-leg, chicken-carcass, poisonous-frog, crab, zombie and mouse outputs remain distinct.

The mammal products below apply to cattle, pigs/boars, goats, sheep, deer, bison, camels, rabbits, monkeys, cats, bears, wolves, foxes, gorillas, panthers, sabertooths, horses, dogs, mammoths and bats, including their subtypes. Let Y be the size yield above.

Chicken and rooster also give one giblets portion. Other nonmammals do not gain mammal offal, sinew or generic bone/leather; existing reptile pelts remain available. Pelts depend on species: lions give 3, gladiator lions give none, and non-white sabertooths give 6. White wolves and giant gorillas retain their special pelts.

Offal is raw, decaying food, not a surgical transplant organ. Each portion starts with 2 protein and accepts existing meat processing. Cow, pig, goat and sheep stomachs retain their sausage/rennet uses. See Cooking for preparation and preservation.

Sinew and primitive tools

Activate sinew in hand to consume 1 sinew and make 1 rope named sinew binding cord. It works in existing rope recipes, including nets, leashes and bindings, with their existing recipe costs and era gates. Sinew stacks hold at most 20.

Sharpen a branch with an edged tool; this takes 80 ticks and produces a sharpened stick. Gather flint from rocks with Grab intent, then strike a rock with it until sharpened.

To assemble a flint axe, use a held sharpened flint on a sharpened stick held by you or on your tile. Keep 1 sinew or rope in your inventory or on that same tile. The 100-tick action consumes the stick, head and one binding for one axe; cancellation leaves inputs unspent. Other stone and bone stack recipes remain available.

Livestock

Well, from the very start of the Neolithic age, Humanity has started domesticating animals.

Animal	Image	Description
Chicken		A bird great for laying eggs.
Pig		Good for manure and meat.
Sheep		These animals are quite valuable as they can be sheared to drop wool.
Cow		Highly valuable as they give milk, which doesn't need to be purified or pasteurized at all. They can also breed in a 5x5 cage.
Horse		Extremely valuable. You can ride these animals or kill them (discouraged as these are rare)
Camel		Just like horses but you can't ride them, Put a bag on their back to carry equipment
Goat		Much like the cow, goats can be milked if female.
Turkey		A bird great for laying eggs!

Reproduction

To simply get these animals to multiply, you have to have them in a fairly small area and cramp them. For cows you need a bull and a cow cramped in a fairly small area and they'll eventually get to it. Chickens just need at least 2 and one needs to lay an egg and be sitting on top of it for awhile. Try customizing your chicken coops making it so they are unable to move off their egg.(Only the cows, chickens, Deers, Pigs, Sheep, Goats and turkey's can breed for now)

Wildlife

Bear		Bears roam the temperate, run away if you have no weapon.
Alligator		A fierce beast that roams the swamp. If you have no weapon you should run because you can't kill these with your hand. Faster in the rain.
Deer		These animals will run away from you when they see you! Try making them run into a corner to kill them.
Snake		A slithery serpent that feasts among small mice; Though it is cute, touching it isn't the best idea.
