Tame and Recruit Animals
Through this update now you can recruit animals easily by following these steps:
- Build an Animal House
To tame animals you need to gain their trust before you lead them to your village. Your responsibility is to give them shelter and protection therefore you need to build an animal house for them, You’ll easily unlock once your village reaches level 2.
Feed the Animals
You’ll make your place in the animal’s heart if you feed them, Unlock the special “Animal treat” once you unlock & build the Animal house.
Become the Shepherd
If the animals accept your animal treat you’ve got a limited time to get them to your village.
It’s your responsibility to make their journey peaceful, avoiding any unpleasant encounters with wild animals.
Lure them into a vehicle for a quick journey, use a Fishing Rod to pull them across tight spots, or cross barriers by building bridges! If the animal gets hurt on the journey, make sure to heal them by giving them another Animal Treat.
Assign them an Animal Home
Once you get them to your village assign them their respective animal house individually. Now it’s your job to ensure they live happily in your farm.
