[Collecting data] "How to keep animals" guide!

[Sevenless]

Always preferred beetroots to fill troughs. I've not strictly tested it, but seems like I fill a trough faster per tile of beets than with anything else. Quality is also easier to control than pumpkins.

Beetroots produce more per day and as a result per tile and quality rises quite quickly (4 units per day per tile, 4 units per harvest)

Pumpkins produce more per harvest action but quality goes up about same speed as animals (2.14 per day per tile, 15 units/harvest)

Beets take like 10 times more clicks, which means that the actual work (harvesting, filling troughs, sorting seeds and replanting) eats up a lot more manhours that could be used to fill up even more troughs and thus raise more animals.

Then pumkin is the best thing to feed Animals ?

[Patchouli_Knowledge]

It may be possible to utilize both: beets for the quality and pumpkin for the high feed:work effort ratio. I myself actually use left over seeds after a farming run to put into the trough as they are still in seed bags as opposed to inventory as beets roots and leaves cannot go into seed bags which allows me to shift click the trough repeatedly.

Also, from what I know, a reduced brown bar will permanently reduce the products that comes from that animal but I believe that it does not affect breeding.

Did some test's.

after borning "food eaten" of baby == "milk quality" of mother.
by this value you could find the parent.

after some time after borning "food eaten" will drop, it is not depends of anything,
and it will be raised back slowly after the baby will grow up to adult.

These are the kind of threads I like to see, definitive knowledge is so helpful in a game like Haven where one mistake can make you lose hours of progress. Keep it up.

I not only enjoyed reading this thread, but also learned.
It is the kind this forum is missing. Thx, good luck!.

I think nursing range is same as through range, but I've never done proper tests on that.

Pigs have a unique -5/+40 on meat quantity

That could work looking on other stats.

For the 2 months im breeding pigs the best one so far:


More tests to come after im done with moving all animals to new place, taking 1 animal on raft is so painful when you have to move 50+ animals between 5 rivers >.>

Still i would like to hear some contructive feedback from the older players
