Get yourself a baby animal

🍼

Babies occasionally drop when you hunt and harvest (gather from) wild animals. Here’s what each animal can give you 👇

Drop rate: 10% each One roll per carcass
Heads up! Killing your own farm animals won’t drop babies. Babies are a treat from wild animals only!
Don’t be bummed if nothing drops! It’s a 10% chance, so the fastest path is to just hunt a ton 🏹

Want to move it later? You can pick it up, so place it without worry 🐾

Add a baby and raise it

📥
  1. Open the farm’s feed trough.
  2. Inside are slots for different purposes →
    • Food slot: where you put food like meat
    • Baby slot: drop a baby in and growth begins!
  3. Once it’s in the baby slot, it grows into a full adult in about 30 minutes and starts lumbering around the farm 🐾
Up to 10 animals per farm ~30 min to grow
Once you hit the cap (10 by default), you can’t add new babies. Ship out the grown ones, or build more farms!

Care for them with food and water

🍖

Animals weaken and die without food and water. Treat them like pets and take good care of them 💕

🍖 Food

  • Just keep food in the food slot. When they’re hungry, they’ll go chow down on their own.
  • Only cooked food goes in! Grilled meat, plus plant-based food like berries and corn are OK. Raw meat (Raw~) is a no-go 🚫
  • Run out of food for too long and they take damage… and at worst, it’s goodbye. Don’t let it run dry!
No raw meat allowed! Always cook it first (or give veggies/fruit).

💧 Water

  • The farm comes with a water tank holding up to 20,000ml.
  • Fill it by hooking up water pipes! A pipe can be attached to the feed trough, so run it from a water source and the tank fills up 🚰
  • When thirsty, they gulp down 20ml at a time.
  • Check the remaining amount on the trough’s UI (water level / water usage). Top it up regularly!

💩 Bonus: Dung (fertilizer)

  • Well-fed, healthy animals occasionally drop fertilizer.
  • It’s a star player for fertilizing crops! Even sweeter if you’ve got a farm plot 🌽
Feed them → get meat and leather → your crops grow too. The animal farm is just too cost-effective, isn’t it…?

The longer you raise, the better! The secret of age

📈
  • Animals age 1 year every 60 minutes (real time).
  • The older they get, the bigger the resource haul when you put them down (5 stages, age 1 to 5)!
  • Don’t rush to kill them—raising them patiently is the smart play ✨

The materials you get differ by animal. Here’s a rough idea of the haul at age 5 👇

AnimalMain materialsApprox. at age 5
🐗 BoarPork, bone, fat, leather, clothPork 8 / Bone 50 / Fat 40 / Leather 20
🦌 DeerVenison, bone, fat, leather, clothVenison 4 / Leather 50 / Cloth 25
🐻 BearBear meat, bone, fat, leather, clothBear meat 20 / Bone 150 / Fat 100 / Leather 100
🐺 WolfSkull, wolf meat, bone, fat, leather, clothMeat 5 / Leather 75
🐯 TigerBig-cat meat, bone, fat, leather, clothMeat 5 / Leather 75
🐆 LeopardBig-cat meat, bone, fat, leather, clothMeat 5 / Leather 75
🐊 CrocodileCrocodile meat, bone, fat, leather, clothMeat 5 / Leather 75
These numbers are one example of the default settings. Age 1 gives the least, age 5 is MAX! The Bear is the breadwinner, dropping tons of leather and fat 🐻💰

Pet to breed! Grow your farm

💕

Once you’ve got two or more adults of the same kind, you can make babies just by petting them!

It’s easy

  1. Walk up to a grown adult animal.
  2. Aim at the animal and pet it with the Use key (default “E”) 🤚
  3. If the conditions are met, a new baby appears in the trough! A “Bred!” message pops up 🎉

Breeding rules

2+ of the same kind 3-hour cooldown 100% success rate Mind the 10-animal cap
Raise the new babies again and… the farm grows endlessly with zero hunting! You’re already king of the animal kingdom 👑🐾

When you pack up the farm

📦
  • Picking up the farm (trough/equipment) turns it back into the “Animal Farm” item.
  • When you do, all the animals inside vanish, and the trough’s items drop to the ground.
  • Before removing it, be sure to collect the food, babies, and resources!
Pick it up by accident and your raised animals are gone…! Don’t forget to check the contents before moving.

Before you place it! Important notes

🔒

To protect the animals you’ve worked to raise, make sure to read this part 🙏

Always build it indoors (inside a building)! Build it outside or in an open spot and other players might mess with it. We recommend placing it in a safe room walled and roofed off tight 🏠
The farm can’t be locked. It can’t be secured with a code lock or the like, so the basic defense is the building itself.
Your animals might get attacked. It’s likely that even others can attack and kill the animals you’re raising. Hide them somewhere they can’t be targeted from outside, to be safe.
In short: “place it indoors with walls and a roof” is the golden rule! Build it in a tucked-away room that’s hard to raid, and protect your precious animals 🐾

Q&A for when you’re stuck

💬
I’m not getting any babies!

The drop rate is 10% each. The trick is to just hunt lots of wild animals. Note that they don’t drop from your own farmed animals.

My animal died…

It may be out of food or water. Check the meat in the food slot and the water tank level regularly!

I can’t add a baby to the farm

The farm may have hit its cap (10 by default). Ship out the grown ones, or build another farm.

I can’t breed them?

Check these three: ① 2+ adults of the same kind, ② 3 hours since last time (cooldown), ③ not yet at the 10-animal cap.

I want to gather resources efficiently!

Animals age every 60 minutes, and older means more resources. Raising them to age 5 before putting them down is peak efficiency!

Now, off to your very own Animal Farm! 🐾

Hunt, raise, pet, multiply. Enjoy a whole new way to play RUST!

* Numbers such as drop rates, growth time, breeding cooldown, caps, and resource yields may change depending on staff settings.
