I was just watching the DU AMA video, and a question they answered was that about livestock. Basically it was asking if we would be able to build farms, raise and breed animals for food and what not.
I personally only have experience with this in 2 games, minecraft and ark. Minecraft is super simple, you feed a couple of animals a certain food, and they will make babies. After that you are done, you don't have to feed it or anything.
In ark on the other hand, you have to mate the dinos, keep the egg a certain temp for it to hatch, then you have to be there while it is in its baby phase to put food in its inventory so it does starve. From there, depending on the dino, it could take 1-13 days for it to fully mature. You also have to keep food either in the dinos inventory or in a feeding troth for them to be able to eat.
If this were to become a thing, what would be the best way to handle raising these animals? I personally feel that Ark is a little much when it comes to raising animals, but Minecraft is too simple(for immersion). Maybe a mix of the two? I figured, you would feed them by hand to get them to mate, or even put them in their own pin, and they would make a baby after a given amount of time. But from there, you shouldn't have to be right on it making sure its eating.
What do you guys think? How would you want to see breeding done for animals if they were to implement it?
