Once Human Guide: How to Breed and Tame Animals

How to Breed Animals in Once Human

Breeding animals in Once Human is more than just increasing your herd; it’s about unlocking new traits, resources, and aesthetic enhancements. Here’s a breakdown of the essential prerequisites:

• High Tameness Level: Animals must be well-tamed. Consistent feeding and care are key to increasing their tameness.
• Mature Animals: Only adult animals can breed. Young animals aren’t eligible.
• Available Youngling Hut: Ensure a Youngling Hut is ready to house the new offspring.

Once these conditions are met, pair a male and female of the same species. Breeding consumes Breed Points, and isn’t guaranteed to result in offspring. Crucially, breeding higher-grade animals (A or S) increases the likelihood of obtaining animals with desired traits and rare patterns.

How to Capture Animals for Your Ranch

Before breeding, you need to capture wild animals. Follow these steps:

1. Craft Tranquilizers: Craft tranquilizers at the Supplies Workbench (accessible via the Animal Capture memetic in Logistics). Equip them in your hotbar.
2. Weaken the Animal: Use weaker weapons to bring the animal’s health below the capture threshold (indicated on its HP bar). Avoid killing them.
3. Use Tranquilizer Needles: Aim and fire tranquilizer needles. Remember the projectile has a flight time; aim closer or wait for the animal to pause before firing for a better chance.

Once the animal is tranquilized, press F to add it to your inventory.

How to Tame Animals in Once Human

Animal tameness is crucial for breeding. Creating a supportive environment is key:

• Enclosure Construction: Build a sturdy enclosure using Foundations and Parapets to contain animals, preventing escapes and potential conflicts.
• Animal Trough Provision: Unlock the Animal Trough blueprint (available through the Animal Taming memetic). Regularly feed and hydrate your animals for optimum tameness. Focus on their favourite foods.

Animal Tameness is a value that begins at zero and increases with consistent feeding and hydration. Keep aggressive animals separate from peaceful species to prevent conflicts.

All Tameable Animals in Once Human

Once Human offers a diverse range of tameable animals:

Category	Examples
Docile	Rams, Rabbits, Deer, Flamingos, Capybaras

Patch 1.2 introduced new animals like Capybaras, Flamingos, and Leopards, along with rare patterns, further enhancing the breeding experience.

Advanced Breeding Strategies

Mastering advanced strategies can significantly improve your breeding success:

1. Youngling Hut Activation: Unlock the Youngling Hut facility by activating the Breeding Animals memetic when your server reaches the required phase.
2. High-Grade Animals: Prioritize using high-grade animals (Grade A or S) for improved offspring traits.
3. Breeding Chance Monitoring: Keep track of remaining breeding chances for each animal pair. Ensure the “Allow Breeding” option is enabled for optimal pairings.
4. Rare Patterns and Traits: Breeding can reveal rare animal patterns and traits, providing exciting aesthetic enhancements.

iGV

For players seeking a faster or more resource-rich start, a pre-populated Once Human account via iGV can provide significant advantages. Consider the potential benefits of a pre-populated account for faster breeding and more advanced breeding strategies. Be aware of the ethical and legal implications of using such accounts.

By mastering these techniques, you’ll cultivate a thriving and unique ranch within the vibrant world of Once Human. From capturing and taming to advanced breeding strategies, your ranch will flourish, rewarding your efforts.
