Animal Housing

Animal Housing
The animal housing is a way to produce higher quality chicken and rabbit meat, premium feathers, fat, and faeces. One to three animals may be placed inside depending on the upgraded capacity. The animal housing can also be upgraded to be free range and have a faeces tray for use as fertilizer in farming.

Rearing Animals
Both chickens and rabbits that are caught alive can be placed into the animal housing. Animals must be given food and water in order to survive.

Animals can initially only be reared to level 2 once placed in the animal housing.

If the free range upgrade is installed, animals will use less resources and can also be raised to level 10 to produce higher quality materials and meat.

Food and Water
Only fruits and vegetables can be used to feed animals being reared. Different food sources fill the food bar different amounts. The percentage filled seems to correlate to the hunger value. Adding a canteen of water to the animal house will increase the hydration bar by ~36%.

Upgrades
It is recommended to get the free range upgrade as soon as possible since this greatly helps reduce the amount of resource needed to sustain animals.
