Core Mechanics

Caring for domestic livestock requires constructing sturdy coops and barns through Molly's workshop. Animals must be fed daily with harvested sweet corn or wild clover, provided clean water in wooden troughs, and petted each morning to cultivate happiness ratings. High-affection animals produce star-quality milk, spectral wool, and rare alchemical secretions. Wild entities operate according to territorial behavior patterns and weather triggers. Nocturnal predators emerge exclusively after twilight, whereas abyssal vermin dwell exclusively in damp cave shafts. Equipping tracking binoculars allows you to study unidentified species from afar, recording biological data into your journal without provoking territorial aggression.
