how to get livestock

[killerbill0787]

I have a trading post but there is no where to buy sheep. Where do i get sheep from?

[simonmcmenemie83]

traders will bring sheep some point you have to wait for the ships to come. put a worker or two in the post and start filing it uo with stuff. i always use firewood early on easy to produce and worth 3 or 4 but you can't just buy sheep when you want them you have t wait for a trader to bring them. dependant on what trader comes next if they dont have any livestoc with them you can place a desire for them to bring live stock next visist but you will pay more hope this helps

There is an animal trader, be prepared to spend 800-1000 per unit as trade cost for cattle, as they are the most expensive and you need at least 2 of them in order to breed them.

You can also order sheep/chicken from him.

i dont have an option to ask anyone to bring animals. the ships thats here has corn seeds and i can only ask him to bring more seeds. i havent had a ship yet that gives me an option to get livestock

you have to wait. if you 're in a position to build another trading post this then gets you double the traders as you will get 1 go to each of them

There are different traders. You need to wait for the animal trader.

There are only different traders if you are using the Colonial Charter mod or another mod that gives you that. Vanilla Banished only has a general trading post.

It's actually based on what town the tradesmen comes from.

Theres actually a tool you can use in the trade post that allows you to request specific items from that specific town. I would screen shot the UI for it, but im trying to get the isolationist achievement right now.

Not correct.
The vanilla game features at least 5 different traders.
General goods trader, livestock trader, food trader, seed trader, raw goods trader.

Sorry - I assumed that by "Trader" you were refering to the Trading Post. Vanilla has one type of Trading Post with various types of Merchants that bring goods. One of the things I like about Colonial Charter and some other mods is that they allow you to build specialized trading posts - such as one for food, one for livestock & seeds, etc. BTW Kid1293 recently released a mod called "Alotofseeds" - a trading post where merchants only bring seeds.

Wait for a trader that have them or order it from a trade that have them in his pool.
