Most critters come in a few different versions, with different skins and stats. ( once they hatch they will die within an hour or so, as opposed to other baby critters that last 24, so be careful!)Īnd then there's undead critters you simply craft, and special summons(which i may or may not add as they currently elude me). removing a pet from the pen before it is done growing will reset its timer and give you back the food it ate.įor a few others you get an egg, which you put in a compost heap until it hatches into a baby critter, THEN put it in the animal pen.
For most animals you simply grab a baby(literally, walk up to it and hit E to put it in your inventory), put it in an animal pen (or a stable if it's a foal/horse, better pens are merely harder to break, they don't have more slots or grow animals faster), put one piece of food in with it(only one is necessary for crafting, more will go towards dung/other resources after it grows), and wait for it to grow into an adult(4-6 hours).
