Highlights: The animal economy has been rebalanced across the board—every livestock production interval is now 1.6× its previous value, Daily Feed intervals drop from 75 / 90 minutes to 30 / 40 minutes, and Manure drop rates are halved. Alongside that, animal drops stay on the ground for 120 seconds, Wild Offerings asks for 8 drops instead of 15, and Farmer Amelia's order pool now takes eggs, milk, meat, wool and duck eggs. The wild-animal taming panel also reworks how interval, quality and gender are shown.
Gameplay Improvements
- Animals · Production intervals rebalanced: Chicken 96s, Duck 120s, Cow 144s, Sheep 160s, Pig 192s—1.6× their previous values; wild individuals multiply that by a further 1.8× (was 1.5×). A full pen used to turn out far more eggs, milk and meat than cooking and orders could consume, so the surplus simply piled up in storage.
- Animals · Daily Feed consumption: Feed intervals shorten from 75 / 90 minutes to 30 / 40 minutes (Vegetable Feed / Protein Feed)—one ration used to last well over an hour, so a pen cost almost nothing to run. A full pen now takes about a quarter of one Kitchen's working time, or under a tenth spread across three.
- Animals · Manure drop rate: 30% → 15% for tamed animals, with wild animals on a separate 8%. Manure has exactly one use—Fertilizer at the Compost Bin—so a high drop rate only silts up your storage. Wild animals are an occasional pickup; volume still means an Animal Pen.
- Drops · Ground lifetime raised to 120 seconds: Animal drops now stay on the ground for 120 seconds instead of 60—with output thinned out each drop counts for more, and villagers often could not reach one inside a minute.
- Wild Offerings · Lower requirement: The quest now asks for 8 animal drops instead of 15, in line with the thinner wild output.
- Farmer Amelia · Livestock orders: Her order pool now includes Egg / Milk early, Meat / Wool mid-game and Wool / Duck Egg / Milk late—livestock goods previously appeared only in Royce's earliest orders, leaving a finished pen with no steady buyer.
- Wild animals · Taming panel readout: Interval now shows the final effective time instead of a "wild / base" pair; Quality is coloured by its tier; Gender carries a ♂ / ♀ symbol.
