Needing to feed captive rabbits berries and herbs

[DanteBrane]

I think that captive rabbits should need to be fed to be kept alive for breeding. I have 4 cages filled with them and I could make even more if I wanted to, pretty much giving me an infinite food source. I think the gardens should need to be used in tandem with rabbit cages so that you grow food for them and they make babies for you, or else they starve and there goes your food source.

I ain't talking about hand feeding each rabbit. You could walk up to a rabbit cage and press 'C' on it to add berries and herbs to the cage. The rabbits would autonomously eat the food when hungry. How fast the rabbits eat the food should depend on how many rabbits are in the cage.

Yeah there needs to be some sort of limitations on food sources. Feeding vegetation to the animals or adding a pile of vegetation to the cage which depletes over time would be good for rabbits. Making them start as baby bunnies that need maturing but take time and resources in order to feed them and make them grow into a large meat would be some good balance for time and effort.

Gardens should also need a similar thing like daily watering. So if it doesn't get water for a day it pauses the growth. If it doesn't get any water in a week it could wither and die. Mushrooms and aloe excluded for realism.

They should also require protection from the cannibals, burning your gardens or smashing the cages.

They need to fix the gardens from disappearing after 2-3 days first. Pretty useless as is unless you like to stay at your base all the time.

Personally i would have gardens strewn about all over the place so if in need i can use them.
Maybe change the plants despawning after 2 weeks or something.

I honestly thought I read that they had fixed that already. It's been a long time since I've grown a garden. Almost a year now. Because of how the respawn system works, I've never had to. I have enough trouble trying to harvest the herbs, berries and mushrooms that I come across in the wild already.

^This, although I DID know it was still bugged, so many plants to find in the wild

Yeah I agree, rabbits shouldn't be born as instant adults and need to be raised. Gardens needing water is also a good idea. I have a bunch of water collectors in my base and they usually end up evaporating before I actually need to use them.
