Pigs Wont Reproduce

[GeneralKayoss]

I'm using the large pig barn. They have a full silo of corn. Productivity is at 100%, they're 10 months old but both "health" and "reproduction" are at 0%. I'm not using straw because I dont want to deal with the manure just yet. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong or do I just need to wait longer?

Think you have answered it yourself lol

You have to feed the pigs a mix of food for them to be healthy. They will not reproduce unless they are 100% healthy.

Base: either corn or sorghum
Grains: either wheat or barley
Protein: Either soybeans, canola, or sunflowers
Root crops: Either potatoes or sugar beet

You can either grow the crops yourself and feed portions of the harvest to your pigs, or you buy a bigbag of pig food at the dealership. For the self-sufficient solution which saves you money in the long run, you will have to run your farming operation accordingly.

As long as they are 100% healthy you should be ok, took mine over a year to breed (mine are outdoor pigs).

So you have to have all food portions present to reproduce? I thought as long as you had the base food there they would reproduce, albeit with a penalty. I think I'm just going to buy pig food rather than invest in root crops.

Ye, pig food is a pain - ALL types have to be present for reproduction.
This is actually much harder than cow mixing, and there are no mixing wagons.

Since you don't know until you start filling how much food your pig barn can hold, you have to start with a little Base, then do the sums.... If you put in too much of one type, you've gimped the capacity for others....

This needs to be better explained and simplified. Even if you spend a year growing all the crop types needed, you still have endless food balance issues. Hats off to anyone who doesn't give up and just buy pig food.

There are mods which allow you to place pig food factories, but these use only 1 of the crop variants of each type, and you can bet it's the one you don't have....

A better bet is to use modded production facilities, which produce pig food as a byproduct: this is more realistic and saves you buying it.

US Animal Foods is a great mod that you can use to properly mix pig food and TMR. Good price and a quick turn a round on mixing products
