Necesse: Your Ultimate Animal Farming Guide

By SebastianMar 12,2025

In the sprawling world of *Necesse*, survival takes many forms, but one constant remains: breeding. This comprehensive guide will walk you through the process of animal husbandry, from taming to automated breeding.

Before you become a livestock matchmaker, you'll need to tame your animals. Similar to Minecraft, this involves offering a tasty treat—wheat—to win their affection. Wheat is readily available; you've likely already planted some, but it can also be found in caves. Feed wheat directly or, for a less hands-on approach, use Feeding Troughs. However, neglecting these troughs will halt taming progress, so keep them stocked! Once tamed, your animal companions are ready for the next step.

With your tamed animal army assembled, expanding your herd is simple. Just like in Pokémon, you'll need a male and female of the same species (no Dittos here, unfortunately). Place them in an enclosure. Once fully tamed, they'll enter "Love Mode," and after a short wait, a baby animal will appear, growing to adulthood shortly after.

Keep in mind that overcrowding can hinder breeding. For optimal results, create smaller pens for breeding pairs, transferring animals one at a time. While this might seem tedious, there's a solution…

How To Automate Breeding in *Necesse*

For those less inclined to micromanage livestock, recruit a Settler—the Animal Keeper. This dedicated individual will handle all husbandry tasks, including refilling Feeding Troughs, ensuring happy and productive animals. While you'll still need to oversee the process, it significantly reduces the workload, freeing you up for other tasks.

This concludes our complete guide to animal breeding in Necesse. Enjoy building your thriving animal empire!

Necesse is available now in Early Access on Steam.
