training Animal?

[xTRACKERx]

What about training a goat, sheep or other type of animal that I already have in my stable? they are already domesticated, why should I train them further ?

If you train them further, they will become pets. Pets can pass through doors, walk around freely and do certain tasks. I.e. goats can transport stuff to storage, which can be very helpful and free up your settler's time for more important tasks.

On the downside, pets can and will also access your food storage and eat your precious food instead of hay.

They cannot use ladders, though, so if you store certain foods in a room which is only accessable via ladders, you can at least somewhat control, what they can eat.

I train all donkeys, dogs, cattle and goats: they can all transport goods.

Personally, i would advise against training cattle and goats.

It's true they can be used to transport stock around, but quite honestly I discovered that they quickly became a damned nuisance as the traininig gives them access to your entire settlement and apart from the annoyance of having a cow sleeping in your bedroom they eat everything in sight, ruining your crop fields and raw food storage.

And once trained you can;t untrain them or keep them in their pens.

I was left with a choice of Slaughter them or sell them and it took me ages to sell them all.

Meh, by the second year my food supplies explode faster then it can be eaten.
Each animal that transports goods frees up time for settlers to prepare food and build so it's a good trade off.
Got 1200 meals, 4000 raw food, 7000 animal feed and 9000 hay with only 12 settlers to eat it all so I'm happy that animals eat the food before it rots.
Becomes a damn nuisance to keep building underground storage.

Surviving medieval times is freaking easy. Especially in winter when all wildlife just drops dead and you just have to pick them up.
