Posted March 5, 2019 (edited) Many of the traits that are passed on through breeding seem to revolve around horses. I have a few suggestions for traits for not horses. Wooly - Sheep: chance at producing +1 wool when sheared Silky - Sheep: produces higher quality wool when sheared Productive - Sheep, Cows, Bison: ready to be milked again sooner Fertile - Cows, Sheep: Chance to produce twins Strong body - Cows, Sheep, Bison, Pigs: Produces +1 meat when butchered Negative traits (Can be removed with Genesis): Unproductive - Sheep, Cows, Bison: Take longer to be ready for milking again Bristly - Sheep: produces lower quality wool when sheared Bald Patches - Sheep: Takes twice as long between shearing Barren - Sheep, Cows, Bison: Doesn't produce milk Edited March 8, 2019 by Seriphina 13 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 5, 2019 +1 A trait for growing wool faster similar to "Productive" would complement "Wooly" nicely, like different speed traits of horses stack with eachother. Perhaps some negative traits, too, like "Coarse" (lower quality wool when sheared, as a counterpart to Silky), adding some more variety to make breeding the perfect floof more ambitioned and interesting. (Of course, these negative traits can still be dewonkified with Genesis) 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 5, 2019 (edited) +1 also i think there should be trait for increased amount of milk milked not just for shorter milking colddown. And that traits shoud be redistributed by type of animal. Would be silly to have silky horse as well as 5 speed sheep lol Other traits that comes to mind might be fertile which would allow too be pregnant for shorter time or even a small chance to give birth to twins instead of just one baby Edited March 5, 2019 by kochinac 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Would be interested to see some specialized breeders for sheep and such with such an update, and more use for some priests besides removing wonky traits on horses.

Posted March 5, 2019 Yes! I posted some examples of possible new traits here as well: 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 6, 2019 +1. I'd also suggest removing speed traits from sheep (do those ever matter?). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 12, 2019 Added one, because pigs are farm animals too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 26, 2019 This would be fun to have. I would perhaps exclude productive/unproductive though, milking seems to have its own schedules. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 3, 2019 +1 Possible new trait for all animals could be: It is very loyal: easier to tame and creating a stronger bond. I would prefer a usefull skill like that over keen senses, which doesn't seem to do anything. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 4, 2019 This is something that has been discussed. While not directly on our plans it definitely has some appeal and may appear ingame 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 28, 2020 Going to bump this, as it seems to be a good time for such a thing to be added... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 28, 2020 Yeah, it'd be great to see other domestic animals get some love and variation. Hearty bump from me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 29, 2020 +1 This would make me more inclined to actually breed sheep and cows instead of plucking them out of the wild every time I'm down one or two. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
