'''Alpacas''' are easily tameable [[herbivore]]s that provide [[alpaca wool|wool]] and act as [[pack animal]]s.
 
  
== Obtaining ==
+
'''Alpacas''' are easily tameable [[herbivore]]s with a medium movement speed. An alpaca will increase the carrying capacity of any [[caravan]] it's part of by 35 kg.
Alpacas can be found in {{Habitats}}. They can either be tamed by a [[Work #Handle|handler]] or self-tame in a random event.

== Obtaining ==
 +
Alpacas can be found in [[Biomes#Arid shrubland|Arid Shrubland]], [[Biomes#Temperate Forest|Temperate Forest]] and [[Biomes#Tropical Rainforest|Tropical Rainforest]]. They can either be tamed by a [[Menus#Handle|handler]] or self-tame in a random event.  
  
 
Alpacas can be bought and sold in other [[Trade#Faction base|faction bases]] and from [[Trade#Bulk goods trader 2|bulk goods traders]]. Alpacas purchased from traders will be already tamed.

== Summary ==
+
== Production ==
{{Pen Animal Note|Alpacas}}
+
Alpacas can be sheared once every 15 days, giving 100 pieces of [[alpaca wool]] worth 270 [[silver]]. The ease of maintaining alpacas makes it a cheap source of decent quality wool (250% hot/cold) for your colony.
  
Alpacas can be sheared for {{icon small|Alpaca wool}} {{P|Wool Amount}} [[alpaca wool]] ({{icon small|silver|16|{{#expr: {{Q|Alpaca wool|Market Value Base}}*{{P|Wool Amount}}}}}}) every {{P|Shearing Interval Days}} days for {{Ticks|1700}} of work. Note that yield and shearing time are modified by the shearer's [[Animal Gather Yield]] and [[Animal Gather Speed]] respectively.
+
See [[Animals#Products|animal products]] for more details on how much each type of animal produces.
 
 
Alpacas are also [[pack animal]]s, and will carry up to 35 kg of weight in a [[caravan]]. They cannot be ridden.
 
 
 
== Analysis ==
 
=== Pack animal ===
 
Alpacas are the smallest pack animal, carrying the least weight and consuming the least food. But, as early-game pack animals, alpacas are strictly inferior to [[donkey]]s.
 
* Donkeys are easier to tame, carry more weight, and can be ridden for up to 130% caravan speed. Even when you standardize for nutrition consumption, donkeys still carry more weight.
 
* [[Horse]]s are slightly harder to tame than alpacas, but horses are even faster (160% caravan speed) and carry even more weight.
 
Alpacas can be useful for early-game [[caravan]]s, in absence of the other options. In a tropical biome, donkeys and horses are not available. The other native pack animal there is the [[elephant]], which is much harder to tame. Later on, Alpacas can serve a niche for [[transport pod]]s having the lowest mass out of all pack animals, allowing two adults with one pod along with any extra supplies to send to an on-going caravan.
 
 
 
And, unlike donkeys and horses, alpacas produce wool.
 
 
 
=== Wool ===
 
An alpaca produces the same amount of wool (at the same intervals) as a [[sheep]], but sheep consume {{%|1-({{Q|Sheep|Real Hunger Rate}}/{{Q|Alpaca|Real Hunger Rate}}) round 2}} less nutrition. Compared to [[sheep wool]], [[alpaca wool]] offers {{Temperature|{{#expr:{{Q|Alpaca wool|Insulation - Cold Factor}} - {{Q|Sheep wool|Insulation - Cold Factor}}}}||delta}} better insulation against Cold and {{Temperature|{{#expr:{{Q|Alpaca wool|Insulation - Heat Factor}} - {{Q|Sheep wool|Insulation - Heat Factor}}}}||delta}} against Heat, and is {{%|({{Q|Alpaca wool|Market Value Base}}/{{Q|Sheep wool|Market Value Base}}) -1 round 2}} more valuable. Thus, the alpaca wool is superior to sheep wool. If the goal is to make bulk wool, regardless of stats, then sheep are more efficient when grazing is insufficient to feed the herds and equally efficient the rest of the time. If the sole purpose is to make money, then alpacas are better than sheep. In addition, alpaca are pack animals.
 
 
 
Alpacas are superior to other wooly animals ([[bison]], [[muffalo]], and [[megasloth]]s) in terms of wool per nutrition consumed. Bison and muffalo would be better for wool per ''colonist work'', though the amount of work to harvest wool isn't terribly large in practice. The insulation and market value of alpaca wool is also superior to that of both [[muffalo wool]] and [[bison wool]]. Megasloth wool offers superior cold insulation and protection, however due to the wildness and intelligence of megasloths, they are not directly comparable to other wooly animals. See [[Megasloth#Wool|their page]] for further analysis.
