Correct me if I'm wrong, but each animal takes one year from birth to being mature ? So breeding your own haulers and other working animals is not really feasible.

And then there's the market value curve. With pigs, it's something like $100 for a piglet up to one month. 1+ month piglet has $210 market value. Mature pigs have $280 market value, and I assume this means those which are at least one year old.

It seems most effective to sell the $210 piglets. Those extra 11 months are not worth $70 increase in market value. 12 times longer to wait for 33% more market value. In the meantime, they will eat a lot of food and use space.

You're wrong

Different animals have different ages to become adult creature.
And for pigs, it stated 0.5 minage to become adult, so it's half-year, I assume...

So this does beg the question, what is the most efficient animal to breed for food purposes? I have never actually given my colonists anything other than simple meals because of the difficulty of getting meat, so I am interested in seeing how you guys handle this. Now that colonists are so cranky, better meals seem like they'd be very helpful.

I have tried muffalo, but they grow and reproduce not fast enough (but they give huge ammount of wool).

I have tried chicken. They breed with explosive rate and gain meat super fast. But they are just hard to manage because of enormous quantities ("crowded" debuff should be considered too) and butchering them takes too much time.

I am testing pigs right now. Still did not get good numbers of them to sustain my colony, but they look promising. They breed faster than muffalo at least.

Rahjital · August 29, 2015, 10:20:56 AM

I would say chickens. They are by far the fastest breeders in the game, a couple of months after getting a breeding pair you'll have hundreds of chickens already. However hunting for meat is still much easier than breeding your own.

Chickens don't need much food. If you got a pasture with grass they can provide for themselves and are in essence, free food. After a while when you think the flock has surpassed its limit or winter is comming, simply throw you rooster into a room for himself.

Kill all other male chickens.

As I said: chickens are hard to manage. It is not so easy to find all roosters. And when I kill them I will have too many bodies to haul and butcher.

Also I am not sure about chicken's food consumption after I saw how ~100 of them exterminated hay, that could feed not less than ~20 muffalos.

But yeah: if you got large pasture and long summer, than you will have your meat.

Panzer · August 29, 2015, 12:17:28 PM

Right now, eggs count as meat, you can make a fine meal with 1 egg and 5 potatoes, butchering chickens doesnt really pay off when they produce like 5 meat per day otherwise

Panzer · August 29, 2015, 02:18:56 PM

Well, I have tried it with boars and must say thats pretty good. They breed pretty fast, and always 1-3 piglets. After a month they grow into juvenile pigs, and thats when I slaughter them. A cook with 100% butcher efficency should get around 30 meat, in my case I had 160% and got 52 meat per pig.
If you re breeding like crazy you could sustain a colony with it, havent tried yet. Together with hunting you can definitely provide fine meals or better all the time.
