Taming?

[Thedrah]

you can also add to the fodder quickly/easily with forageables like sunflowers and clover

can animals starv to death? i just wandered by a settlement with mass of dead animals. A week ago all animals where fine and now all face down in dirt. In the last weeks all the settlements around me are dying and i am not sure if its boredom or raiding.

It doesnt respawn. I had auroch leached for 3-4 days once.

can confirm it doesn't despawn.

I followed the guide word for word, checked after 24 hours and even 2 hours before and the hours after, no reaction. The Auroch is not despawned ,still eats no clover and can be tethered by rope.
Even with missing the window should the animal not go back to normal?

24 hours is just a rough guideline from what I can tell. I have had it take 12 hours and around 36 hours.
Even if you miss the taming window, the animal will remain in its 'clovered' state.
While you are waiting go grab some more animals to tame as a single animal is not very useful.

Also make sure you leash the animal after each taming round.

For me when I missed the window it did despawn. The townie saw that it unleashed itself after the window finished and acted like any other wild Mouflon, meaning it despawned when no players were around.

mhh, there are three posibble scenarios for my case.

1. I didnt miss any window
2. you can increase the taming duration by leashing it after you miss the window
3. some kind of bug

I got untamed animals that are at least 8 weeks old. Still there.
If someone agro'd it, It will then despawn unless leashed.

Yes, animals can starve to death, but it takes forever. They'll eat the grass of the tile they're on if they get hungry and there's no fodder nearby. If people are active enough, the grass grows back. If the animals get loose somehow, then they'll not likely run out of grass (and start breeding wildly; should have seen an area where some sheep started roaming and mass reproducing last world.)

Fodder quality does matter, but it shouldn't be hard to keep it above 10 if you already have a growing farm.

If you are able to tame animals. Feeding them q10+ food shouldn't be hard.
