Animals
Symbiosis, not exploitation. Happy animals produce resources, and smart AI lets them find food and water on their own.
In playtestChicken
The first animal most players raise. Chickens need food, water, shelter, and enough space to stay happy. A content chicken produces eggs regularly. Their AI reacts to hunger, thirst, and overcrowding, and they will seek shelter during storms.

Pigs forage for food on their own when given enough roaming space. They are hardier than chickens but still need a covered shelter and access to water. Happy pigs can find truffles, a valuable cooking ingredient.

In playtestSheep
Sheep graze on grass and produce wool over time. They need a barn for shelter and open pasture for grazing. Wool is used in textile crafting recipes. Sheep are calm animals that rarely cause problems if their needs are met.
Every animal runs on a state machine reacting to five needs. Keep them all satisfied and the animal stays in productive states - Idle, Eating, Drinking, Sleeping, Wandering, or Producing. Neglect them and they flee or stop producing. Drones can move animals between islands.
