Raising Rabbits/Chickens

[KillJoyJessica]

Would like to see some way to catch rabbits or Chickens with the ability to raise them. Chickens can provide feathers and eggs and rabbits could be bred as a food source or even fertilizer ( poop). I think taking the 2 smaller animals vs the bigger ones wouldn't over power the balance of the game, just adds maybe a new skill tree or ability to at least have a steady supply of meat and eggs.

This is what i am waiting for many years in this game!

An other point: I was not waiting for drones... But for a horse to move around which would be an alternative to cycle and a dog to track prey... Imagine your beloved dog/horse eated by a zombies horde! What a drama

Would love to have more depth to farming in general, and animal husbandry would be amazing

on one hand, I definitely want this, on the other, I can see how "OP" this is and this revert back to don't have a reason to leave the base.  

What I think is make it a skill and how much animal you kept is base on the skill. And there need to be something offset it a bit so it not just free resource.  

My version of this suggestion.  

 

Level 1: chicken/rabit cage schematic to put the animals in (also help not rendering the animals and take away game resources), 4 animals per cage (2x1x2). hand net schematic (to capture/move them).

Max animal capture is 2, if you tries to put more in a cage, it will say "X escape you when you try to put it in the cage".   

Chicken can produce egg and feather with only one present. with 2 it also produce meat.  

Rabit need 2 minimum to produce meat and leather.

must feed animals vegetables or seed (treat like fuel), once food run out, animals stop giving resources. produce items once every day, amount given is the same as killing 1, amount of egg is the same as bird nest.

level 2: max animal is 4.

level 3:max animal is 6.

level 4: max animal is 8.
