Pig food

[Arcanist]

It should be possible to feed meat (other than pig meat) to pigs somehow.

Possibally a new food trough, which pigs prefer to eat out of that accepts meat.

[joojoo1975]

why?

and i'm pretty sure the hogs round these parts are fed plant based feed.

Pigs are omnivores, so I suppose it makes sense, but I do wonder who would use meat instead of crops unless there was a serious emergency.

Even if this was implemented it's such a pain in the ass over using regular feed no one would even notice..

[ApocalypsePlease]

You're suggesting a less optimal method of feeding pigs which really wouldn't be used often.

Crops are sustainable and consistent, gathering meat for feeding is not consistent unless you're talking about domesticated animals, and even then you wouldn't have it in enough mass to fully make it worth it.

The most consistent method would remain through crops, you're creating a method which would not have any use to the majority of players.

I could understand implementing special food sources to augment the potential for animal stats such as breeding q, hide q, etc.

if this is added can we also feed cows beef byproducts? yes I know thats how mad cow disease got started, and yes thats the reason I'm asking!

I could see this as a method of feeding animals for people like me; the full industry, hates farming, enjoys hunting types...since most meats have higher food values than farm goods this would easilly be sustainable on a small scale by bringing in 1-2 bears a day.

It's been pointed out in the thread, but it'd be pointless over crops unless there was some gain to anything in breeding or such.

[Arcanist]

well I only thought of this because yesterday I had to let 3 sheep crumble to dust for lack of anything to do with their meat, but the food troughs are almost empty.

And I farm alot.

great, let's spread fucking mad cows disease throughout Haven.
