'''Pen animals''', or '''farm animals''', are [[animal]]s with special rules in regards to habitat.
+
In Version 1.3, the animal system received a total makeover, a good portion of animals are now classified as '''Pen animals'''. These animals consist of a lot of farm animals, are not trainable, are blocked by [[Fence|fences]], and like to roam.

== Summary ==
+
== Mechanics ==
−
Pen animals do not respect regular [[zone]]s. Instead, they must be roped into an enclosed area, known as a [[pen]], and designated by a [[pen marker]]. For pen animals, [[fence]]s and [[fence gate]]s are impassable, but [[animal flap]]s are considered open. Other terrain, such as [[wall]]s and [[door]]s, can also be used to enclose a pen, which will help enemies from breaking open the pen as easily (although pen animals will never be attacked directly). Walls however cost 5x as many materials to build, and can't be stepped over. Additionally, if a [[room]] is enclosed in the creation of a pen, players will need to ensure roofs aren't being constructed or they'll stop grass from growing.
+
Pen animals are a subset of animals which aren't trainable. All pen animals can eat live plants making them perfect to farm as cattle outside. Pen animals are passive, meaning that hostiles will not attack these animals, and vice versa. Unlike normal animals, pen animals can not be designated to an [[allowed area]], instead they must be brought to a special zone known as a [[Pens|pen]]. A pen is defined by a [[pen marker]] and takes fences, animal flaps, and held open doors into consideration. Once a pen is established, an animal handler will lead pen animals to the designated pen. (note the animal handler needs an [[Skills#Animals|animals skill]] greater than or equal to minimum handling skill to lead the animal to the pen)
  
−
Outside of a pen, or if the pen has an open door, animals will enter into the [[Mental break#Roaming|roaming]] [[mental break|mental state]]. Roaming animals will wander away and eventually leave the map. They can be roped into a [[caravan hitching spot]] or a pen (closed or not) by a colonist with enough [[Skills#Animals|animals skill]] for that animal.
+
If a pen animal is not brought to an enclosed pen, they will slowly start to wander towards the side of the map. While they can be roped back to an unenclosed pen, they will keep on attempting to roam free.
−
 
 
−
In general, pen animals can eat [[hay]], and graze on grass and other naturally growing vegetation. They all have 0 trainability. These are not traits of being a pen animal, but all pen animals have these traits.
 
−
 
 
−
Pen animals will not actively be targeted by [[raider]]s (though can be caught in the crossfire).

* Pen in combination with auto-slaughter can be extremely powerful to reduce the amount of micromanagement done by the player. The use of pens and auto-slaughter is a necessity for any colony with the [[Ideoligion#Rancher|rancher meme]] {{IdeologyIcon}}.

* When choosing a pen animal to farm, you may want to consider animals that have more purpose than their meat. For example [[muffalo]]s can provide wool and can act as a [[pack animal]].

−
* If a pen isn't large enough to sustain your animals, but it's still growing season, then consider planting [[dandelion]]s inside the pen. Once the dandelions reach 10% growth, they are considered edible. This is less effective than growing [[haygrass]] outside of the pen, but can be used in a pinch.
