I am not sure who discovered cow breeding cycle but twice I have had bred baby rabbits (5) minutes apart. As far as I can tell, breeding/growth will not tick while you are not at PoF. When you log back in/return to Ardy lode, all missed ticks will tick at once.

It looks like different growth stages have different growth times. My Zygomites took 18h from baby to adolescent; they have been adolescent for over 24h now. I logged out and back in to make sure there was no backlog of growth ticks. 84.131.56.254 16:31, September 6, 2018 (UTC)

I believe the 5minutes breeding time between rabbits to be accurate and any reports of lower times in between baby births a bug.

I suspect the Sheep breeding rate is incorrect. Yesterday, I had a Ewe and a Ram in the breeding pen for over 9 hours and they didn't breed. They had 887/1000 in the trough (so not going hungry), positive traits (i.e. they are not "stressed" animals that cannot breed), and are both 100% Happy and Healthy - there's really no reason that they shouldn't have bred something within the 5-hour timeframe on the Wiki, so the estimation of max breeding time seems to be incorrect. Anyway, after 9+ hours, I gave up on Sheep and put Cows in the breeding pen, and they got it on just fine haha. Could someone please increase the max time for Sheep, so it doesn't mislead anyone else? :) Thanks!

- Are you sure they were in the breeding pen? It seems to be a common mistake that people assume that both bens in the East are breeding ones. If it is not the case we'll change it. Also, 9hours divided by 5 would give a weird number, did you manage to see if it ended up being 10hours?
- REDIRECT User:Merds/Signature 00:52, September 15, 2018 (UTC)
- Yes, I'm absolutely sure they were in the breeding pen and have always been aware that there is only one breeding "specific" pen. I've been breeding animals in that pen just fine since day one of PoF release - and, as per above, when I swapped the Sheep for Cows in the very same pen, the Cows bred just fine, as expected. There's definitely a problem with max breeding time for Sheep, but I gave up on the Sheep after just over 9 hours, so don't know how long it would have taken otherwise.

I logged in today around 18:00 to no spider offspring in eastern medium pen, which held an elder rax spider, an elder giant spider, and an adolescent night spider. I went back and forth a few times between 18:00 and 20:00 but still no spider offspring. Left and came back around 21:30 and my spiders had an offspring (rax spider egg), which I took out of the pen. I hopped to W2 and stayed at the farm. My spiders had another offspring at 22:00 (night spider egg), which is 30 min-2 hours after the last offspring. I took a snapshot of the chat box time stamps. Maybe it switching to night time caused this? Forced007 (talk) 03:33, September 18, 2018 (UTC)
I've noticed that breeding times seem to be completely all over the place outside of the breeding pen. In the span of roughly fifteen minutes, I've had two notifications regarding Crystal Chinchompas in a small pen having babies, and considering that the Wiki currently states that they have a breeding rate of two hours, I believe that there is a severe discrepancy between breeding pen times and regular pen times. I was logged on and at the farm when I received both notifications, so I don't believe this can be chalked up to the breeding ticks "catching up". 207.119.158.158 18:28, September 19, 2018 (UTC)

Incorrect information on wiki[]
Incorrect information...
I've never edited a Wiki and don't intend on doing so now.. I'm aware that some people would just change back my edit anyway.. So I'm adding this under Talk, and leaving this for you all to adjust as you see fit.
It is INACCURATE where we say that babies won't age in the breeding pen. They DO seem to age MUCH slower, but I can verify that they will indeed raise up to adulthood in the breeding pen.
Best wishes to you all. Keep up the great work, each and every one of you.

- Thanks for letting us know, and I can also confirm that animals do age in the breeding pen. I'll fix it. :) Salix of Prifddinas (Talk) 19:23, September 5, 2018 (UTC)
- Does this also apply to babies born while logged out (or possibly away from the farm)? I had two rabbits born while logged out for 10 hours and both were babies when I logged back in. Assuming even an unreasonable birth rate, at least one of the bunnies would have had 5 hours in the pen, indicating a growth rate at least 20 times slower than normal. Instead I think that if the animal is born while logged out (or possibly away from the farm), it will be a bunny when you log back in (or return to the farm). My only caveat to this is I may be wrong and the growth rate is that slow, but the aging of my baby bunnies in the breeding pen while I was there did seem faster.
- Toddathon (talk) 20:53, September 6, 2018 (UTC)
- While away, nothing happens on your farm. The game keeps track of the time you're away, and then everything (growing/breeding/feeding/etc) happens the moment you come back to the farm. So your animals that were newly born are actually born the moment you step back onto the farm, meaning they haven't had any growth time at all. Hinoyama (talk) 23:21, September 10, 2018 (UTC)Hinoyama
- Everything in your farm happens while you're logged out. But babies born while you're offline only start their growth when you are prompted with the message in your chat. (Even if you're online, they only start counting from the moment you enter your farm and get the message).

Beehives do not always produce a honeycomb every hour, but I do believe they are in sync with each other. All seven of mine have been completely filled (27 of each) with woad leaves and snape grass since the first day of release. I've also added around 100 marigolds, a few rosemary, and kept woads maxed since then. If I got one every hour, I should have over 500 combined honeycombs banked, minus the ones I've used - I have 210. I get around 15 honeycombs from each hive per day. My last two hours (23-1) haven't produced any honeycombs. Maybe reset affects it or maybe adding flowers affects it. (Forced007 (talk) 01:27, September 8, 2018 (UTC))

Acquiring animals with locked pens[]
I have a hunch that you will not be able to acquire animals via killing if you don't have at least one of the required pen sizes. At least I can assume since you can't buy them from the Farmers' Market without the required pen. Cause I've been killing and filling my inventory with bones for burning at the altar and still haven't gotten a cow calf.

Breeding Combos[]
I think there shall be a Animal Breeding combination table to alloud better guidance.— —The preceding unsigned comment was added by ThreadEditor (talk) on 20:17, 6 September 2018 (UTC).
Disease symptoms appear to have set combinations[]
I had a diseased elder brown female rabbit with the flu. I checked for symptoms 21 times in succession and was given only 5 distinct combinations of traits:
| head | eyes | legs and feet | stomach | # of times |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| a little bloodshot | a bit of gas | 8 | ||
| a small fever | a little bloodshot | feet are clammy | 3 | |
| breath smells deeply unpleasant | feet are very warm to the touch | 3 | ||
| coughs in your face | a little bloodshot | off its food | 5 | |
| sneezes in your face | a little bloodshot | feet are very sweaty | nausea | 2 |
If my conclusion is correct, I think this could be represented in the table by splitting the symptoms columns into several rows for each disease, to list each individual possible combination. I only have three animals though and have only gathered data once, on one animal, with one disease so I don't want to edit the page until we gather more data (different animals, different diseases, et c.). I collected the data on a google sheet found here[1]
--Connormcan (talk) 21:42, September 6, 2018 (UTC)
I just had two more diseased rabbits, one with bone rattle and one with wooting cough, and applied the same methodology. The results are recorded in other sheets of the same Google Document linked above. Starting with the wooting cough, I also recorded the neutral feedback from checking the animal's symptoms (e.g. 'legs seem fine'), and found that they were also part of the same consistent combinations.
| Bone Rattle | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| head | eyes | legs and feet | stomach | # of times |
| breath smells normal | eyes seem fine | legs seem a little stiff | body is making a weird clicking noise | 4 |
| can't seem to spot anything immediately obvious | eyes seem fine | legs click as it walks | a bit of gas | 4 |
| gums appear to be healthy | eyes seem fine | legs click as it walks | can't seem to spot anything immediately obvious | 2 |
| nose seems fine | can't seem to spot anything immediately obvious | legs click as it walks | doesn't appear to be in gastronomic distress | 8 |
| teeth click in a sinister manner | eyes seem fine | legs click as it walks | appears to be shivering, but has no temperature | 3 |
| Wooting Cough | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| head | eyes | legs and feet | stomach | # of times |
| breath smells normal | a little bloodshot | legs seem fine | can't seem to spot anything immediately obvious | 5 |
| can't seem to spot anything immediately obvious | filled with mirth | a little unsteady on its feet | a bit of gas | 2 |
| coughs as you try and examine it | keep darting around the place with a sense of wonder | legs seem fine | body is slightly swollen | 2 |
| coughs loudly in a 'hu hu huuu' style | filled with mirth | legs seem fine | coughs regularly | 4 |
| nose seems fine | filled with mirth | legs seem fine | doesn't appear to be in gastronomic distress | 8 |
This reinforces to me that there is a set number (seemingly 5) of combinations of symptoms for each disease. I don't know how to best express this on the wiki. One way might be, as I suggest above, to split each disease row on the existing table into 5 rows of symptoms to show the combinations. Or if that seems clunky, we could leave the table organised as is, update the symptoms, and have a separate wiki page for animal diseases with the distinct combinations for each. Thoughts? --Connormcan (talk) 23:23, September 10, 2018 (UTC)

Can someone add which foods fall under each category for feeding? For example which raw meats can be used for feeding dragons etc. I think it tells you all the possibilities when you try to add to the trough. Could be useful for determining cheapest food under each type. Thank you!

- When you open the trough it does show you everything you can add, I personally don't find it necessary that we add the cheapest options.
- REDIRECT User:Merds/Signature 13:52, September 8, 2018 (UTC)
Species' Traits[]
It seems to me that there are several species specific traits (such as cow scents), and even if they don't they contribute to helping breed new species. I think we should consider breaking up the traits section into 'universal' (all animal) traits and species specific.

Time Mechanics[]
Mod Raven has discussed how the feeding/breeding cycles work here. Basically cycle timers are for the pen, and are active as long as an animal is inside. No animal = no timer. Add an animal and the cycle starts. Adding an animal to the end of an active cycle will gain the benefits even if it hasn't been there the whole time. Might want to add to the article somewhere. For those diligent enough this could also be a way to manipulate cycles/breeding.

I have a Bandosian hen that has the Stressed and Insane traits.
