Taming budget
Requires continuous loaded, fed and unalerted conditions. This is eligible simulation time, not a guaranteed clock time.
Feeding coverage: ✓ · 10 minutes fed per piece
Breeding conditions
Two fed, tamed, non-pregnant partners within 3 m. Population must remain below 5 / 10 m.
Love-point chance: 67% / 30 s · 3 points needed. Pregnancy: 60 s.
Juvenile maturation: 50 min.
Birth timing is random. Pregnancy removes a ready partner; food count alone cannot predict offspring or meat per hour. Egg warmth conditions must remain continuous or incubation resets.
Guaranteed normal-resource harvest
2 mature animals, normal resource rate. Rare drops excluded.

Frequently asked questions
Can food count predict exact breeding output?
Food determines the feeding budget. Breeding also uses random love-point checks, eligible non-pregnant partners and population limits, so offspring per hour are not guaranteed.
