Animal husbandry, houses and bigger claims

Chickens, ducks, sheep, pigs and cows now roam wild in flocks west and south of town.

• Catch them. Mix animal feed at the seed crate from wheat or potatoes, then click an animal to try to catch it. Each try costs one feed, and a better farmer catches more often. Chickens need Farming 1, ducks 4, sheep 8, pigs 12 and cows 16.
• Pen them. Fence in ground on your claim all the way round. Fence comes from the kiln and the new pen gate from the sawhorse: you walk through a gate, animals do not. Click inside the pen with an animal in hand to let it out. A chicken needs 4 tiles, a sheep or pig 8, a cow 12.
• Feed them. A fed animal makes eggs, duck eggs, wool, truffles or milk, up to three lots before it waits for you. One feed lasts twenty minutes, and an animal holds up to four hours of it. A hungry animal just stops producing. Animals never die.
• Breed them. Right-click two grown, fed animals of the same kind in a pen to breed them. The young one grows up before it gives anything or breeds.
• Use what they give. The new loom weaves wool into cloth. Four new dishes: fried egg, cheese, custard and truffle omelette.

• Build a hut right on your claim, and walk in through its own door. The roof fades while you are inside, and everyone else still sees the roof.
• Grow it. Craft rooms, hallways and station rooms (forge room, kitchen, workshop, kiln room) and join them onto any side of your house.
• Furnish it. Beds, chairs, tables, barrels, bookshelves, rugs and flower pots. You wake up in your own bed.

Claims now grow in tiers, from 25×25 up to 49×49, paid in planks, stone blocks and metal bars. Upkeep grows with the size. The land panel shows the next tier and its price.
