Summary

• Focusing on specific animal needs leads to a successful ranch tailored to you. Plan accordingly!
• Different animals bring unique benefits - chickens for eggs, pigs for consumption, and cows for milk.
• Consider factors like hunger rate, resource production, and usefulness when choosing animals for your ranch.

When it comes to building a base that feels more permanent, you might be looking into creating a ranch in Rimworld. Not only do animals provide a good source of food that can, well, keep you alive, but they also can give other resources and even help defend your base from any sort of invaders. There are quite a few different animals, from ones you pro🌱bably know from real life to less realistic ones.

Focusing 𝓀on exactly the needs that you need to fulfill, when it comes to your animals൲, will result in the best ranch for you specifically. Knowing about each of the different animals will help you with your planning! Especially as you need to tame each animal with your handler and the animals that are more valuable take much longer to tame.

8 Chickens

They Produce Eggs

Chickens are one of the basic, standard ranch animals in any game and in real life; in Rimworld, they work a lot like chickens in real life, and you can 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:tame them, purchase them from traders, or get them from a random event. They actually work the same as ducks, but ducks consume more nutrition, so aren't as useful in that regard.

Chickens produce one egg every day, which can be eaten or left to be fertilized by a rooster and become another chicken. You can also slaughter chickens for meat, and they produce and grow quite quickly, making them a good so🅘urce of protein between the eggs and meat.

7 Pigs

They Eat A Lot

Pigs are well-known farm animals that are very easy to train; they are pen-based, so you will need to craft a home from them, once you have tamed some from either the land around you or space traders. They eat live plants, so putting them new your growing zones isn't the smartest idea.

Pigs also eat meat, so you can use them to eat up your dead raiders if you have that issue due to your 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:kill boxes. Pigs are better for nutrition than boars, as they yield 238 meat as an adult and 68 leather; they are ju🅰st a classic, casual farm yard animal that you can put into various pens.

6 Goats

Not Very Hungry

Goats can be tamed either out in the wild, from random events, or purc🉐hased from other faction bases or bulk goods traders since those that you purchase are already tamed. Goats are pen animals, so you will need to have a home for them within your base, and they are great when it comes to getting a bunch of milk for your colony.

Goats have the lowest hunger rate out of all of the milk-producing animals in Rimworld, allowing you to better save your resources but still gain a bunch of milk if that's what you are looking for. They are great for starting your ranch, as you won't need to have a huge stockpile of food before having some

5 Cows

Reliable, Producing Tons

Cows are a pretty standard animal that wo🥀rks extremely well on your ranch in Rimworld; cows can be purchased from traders or granted to you through a random event called Cows Join. Once you have cows at your ranch, you can use them to produce milk or slaughter them for meat and leather.

It's likely the best idea to slaughter all of your bulls, for their meat and leather, while keeping all the cows alive so that you have a consistent flow of milk. As they are herbivores, they aren't too hard to look after either, allowing you to get a good supply of food for your colony.

4 Alpaca

Can Carry Goods

Alpacas can be found ꧟in many different biomes or purchased from other faction bases or bulk goods traders; you will need to tame them in the wild, but purchasing them will have them already tamed. They are pen animals as well, so you will need to make room for them in your colony.

When it comes to their use, you can shear alpacas for 45 alpaca wool every ten days, giving you plenty of the resource. They also carry up to 35kg of weight in a caravan, making them useful if you want to travel around with your stuff, and even though they cannot be ridden, they're otherwise quite useful to have and they consume the least amount of food when it compares to other pack animals that carry items.

3 Horses

You Can Ride Them

Horses are a very good pack animal for you to include in your ranch; they can be trained in the wild, purchased from traders, and also appear from a random event called Horses Join. If you've got a caravan, you'll likely want to have some horses too, as they can be ridden for a 160% caravan speed increase - making them a very fast animal.

Horses can also carry goods or can be slaughtered for meat and leather if you are running low. They aren't too quick to breed, but having a horse per caravan is well suggested, as they are extremely useful.

2 Muffalo

Lots Of Resources

Muffalo is probably an animal you haven't heard of beyond Rimworld; it's a sort of big, fluffy, buffalo-like animal that you can get by taming or through traders, where it can be purchased already tamed. Muffalo are animals that can be sheered quite often (depending on the Animal Gather Yield and Animal Gather Speed), giving you plenty of wool, and they also can be killed for leather and give a ton of meat too.

Muffalo can carry the same weight as horses, however, they eat less food so will cost you fewer resources. Muffalo is also able to live in colder biomes, being🌳 the biggest wool producer in cold settings.

1 Trumbo

Worth The Effort

I am not sure if Thrumbo is a farm yard animal, but it's one well worth having on your ranch. They eat growing plants, vegetables, and living trees, and they also specifically eat polux trees.

You see, Trumbo is an extremely durable animal, with very tough skin and a high health scale; they also have very dangerous attacks and can move much faster than colonists, so you won't be able to actually outrun them. If you want a defensive animal to ensure nobody messes with you, getting a Trumbo on your ranch is fantastic, as they are also useful in the case of 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:horrific colony events!
