Animal Husbandry

Is this still a planned feature? Always wanted to be able to ride a horse in this game, let alone raise animals on the farms we can build.

I never heard or saw them ever planning animal husbandry!

Thats irrelevant, just because you havent heard of it doesnt mean it never existed. Ive never heard of you, but you exist. A simple google search confirms that it was at some point a planned feature.

[what?]

We'd probably need some fences first at least, but that'd be cool.

Under the Intelligence of your character it says: Animal Handling!

Ok here's your Google Search!

Explanation
Animal handling
Involves knowing how animals behave and perceive the world around them. This knowledge helps guide decisions about how to handle them.

Animal husbandry
Involves caring for, breeding, and managing animals. This can include feeding animals, cleaning their living spaces, and helping with births. Animal husbandry can also involve developing animals' genetic qualities and behaviors for profit.

Which is why I mention I never heard of it coming to Scum. There is a difference.

one of the devs mentioned something about taming animals in a raykit stream from a few years ago, so i wouldn`t expect anything like that in 2025 even after 1.0 comes out they will be busy for quite a while, animal taming isn`t someting they will rush to add to scum.

I wouldn't expect anything in that regard at all.
Unless they open up for modders sometime in the future.

There was a short video posted by Tomislav on X with pigs in the pig pen (in a building that is heavily featured in game). It was about year ago, i think it’s still there in his feed. It’s a video.

I am not on X. Have no plans to be on X.

That would be why I have not seen anything about the animals other than the line under INT.

Animal Handling is listed as a currently not implemented stat attribute on the SCUM WIki. It is or was a planned feature, which I hope we keep because I have long wanted to farm critters and have a horse in game ever since I found a wild horse down by one of the coastal towns. Honestly I'd like to see the animals roaming around like they used to, like the birds and critters in general. I heard recently that they were turned off in favor of a hunting minigame that folks largely aren't happy with, so I'm hoping a private server can turn them back on.

I hope after 1.0 we get mod compatibility, at least for private servers / Single players, obviously not for official / pvp.

I've been eyeballing the animal handling stat for years now L O L. How I wish for it to be implemented.
