Multiple piglets per litter
A sow giving birth to just one piglet is practically unheard of IRL. But the more important thing is that it'd be good balance-wise. Cows and sheep both give milk and suckling maws, and sheep give wool, all in addition to giving meat. Pigs only have meat, so they feel a bit underwhelming. Multiple piglets would at least make them the best at the only thing they do. I guess you could also implement lard to buff pigs, but if I had to choose just one of the two I'd go with multiple piglets.

Re: Multiple piglets per litter
Technically speaking, didn't pigs get a crazy possible modifier per generation on meat quantity? To the point that they used to become ridiculous meat fountains late game?

Re: Multiple piglets per litter
In legacy pigs had better dependence on quantity levels. That means that pig with 100 meat quantity gives mutch more meat that cow or sheep.Potjeh wrote:A sow giving birth to just one piglet is practically unheard of IRL.

Making multiple piglets in litter will make just fuken pig spam on your pound.
