I have Had a pair off Male/Female pigs in the breeder, but nothing is going on. Just wondering if that is working, as I had several babies already without them being in the breeder. I thought the breeder would be faster.

Also, is Milk working? Just setup a stable and some cows, wanted to know if I can expect milk.

Thanks!

Yes, breeding works. Some folks are complaining that they are only getting Male sheep (rams) however. I haven't been able to test that yet.

When it comes to Swine and Cattle though, I am getting 2 males for every 1 female. It also seems to require that you have the same 2 male/female combo in the same Breeding Pen for a minimum amount of breeding cycles (not yet sure what that minimum is for each, still testing), if you are constantly pulling them out and putting them back, you won't get any breeding from the pens, only the random pairing ones.

For milk, I personally have yet to generate any milk from a Barn bred Cow. The wild tamed cows I've had produced milk from day one, but my 18 year old barn born one, or my 8 year old, has yet to give any milk.

Edited to Add:

Also, the way the breeder seems to work, is that those 2 pairings will be the priority for a successful breeding, and their 2 qualities will be the important two. Without having animals in the pens, it's random which two will be the "parents" and so you have less control on the newborn's quality (a 100q male/female pairing gives 100q newborn, 65q pairing much much less).

I seem to be getting only males from both pig/boar and cow/bull. Never gotten a female but got about 6 males

Is ANYBODY getting females? If not, this needs to be reported on Mantis.

I am getting females. Even stranger (until you think about it), I had all 4 breeding pens full with captured animals and received very little in new borns. Then yesterday BAAMM, had 6 new calfs. 50/50 split

Not getting many females, but some.

Try these settings, they are working VERY well for us as far as animals breeding, pooping, etc.

<animalBFPeriod>110</animalBFPeriod> <!-- minutes between a breeding check. New harvest, dung and young animals will appear on that tick (range: 1 - 600) -->

<dayCycle>4</dayCycle>

Server resets at 10am and 10pm allow players to tend their coops twice per day and avoid losing it all to reset bug.

Thanks for all the updates! I am getting mostly males, so i do go out and tame some females for balance.

Thanks for all the info!
