🐾 ✨ ✨ 🐾 WELCOME! ANIMAL FARM
Chickens just aren’t cutting it anymore? Build your very own safari farm 🌿
VIVIDUS RUST / Animal Farm Guide 🆕 NEW FEATUREBring your very own “safari farm” to your base.
For everyone who’s done with just a chicken coop. A dream new feature has finally landed on VIVIDUS RUST! Those beasts you once hunted at the risk of your life—Boar, Deer, Bear, Wolf, Tiger, Leopard, and Crocodile—can now be raised right at your base. Raise the babies you catch in the wild, put them down, and rake in meat, leather, fat, and bone. A walking resource bank, basically 💰
Get babies from wild animals
Older = more resources (up to age 5)
Pet two of the same animal → a baby
No hunting needed—the farm grows endlessly
Healthy animals drop crop fertilizer
“Special” / 2,000 scrap
First, check the overall flow!

- Buy the “Animal Farm” item in the shop (a deployable that looks like an above-ground pool).
- Place it within your TC (building privilege) range, on a foundation or the ground!
- The moment you place it, a farm with a feed trough + fencing is built automatically. It even comes with a water tank and hopper 🎉
Add a baby and raise it
- Open the farm’s feed trough.
- Inside are slots for different purposes →
- Food slot: where you put food like meat
- Baby slot: drop a baby in and growth begins!
- Once it’s in the baby slot, it grows into a full adult in about 30 minutes and starts lumbering around the farm 🐾
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!
💧 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 🌽
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 👇
| Animal | Main materials | Approx. at age 5 |
|---|---|---|
| 🐗 Boar | Pork, bone, fat, leather, cloth | Pork 8 / Bone 50 / Fat 40 / Leather 20 |
| 🦌 Deer | Venison, bone, fat, leather, cloth | Venison 4 / Leather 50 / Cloth 25 |
| 🐻 Bear | Bear meat, bone, fat, leather, cloth | Bear meat 20 / Bone 150 / Fat 100 / Leather 100 |
| 🐺 Wolf | Skull, wolf meat, bone, fat, leather, cloth | Meat 5 / Leather 75 |
| 🐯 Tiger | Big-cat meat, bone, fat, leather, cloth | Meat 5 / Leather 75 |
| 🐆 Leopard | Big-cat meat, bone, fat, leather, cloth | Meat 5 / Leather 75 |
| 🐊 Crocodile | Crocodile meat, bone, fat, leather, cloth | Meat 5 / Leather 75 |
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
- Walk up to a grown adult animal.
- Aim at the animal and pet it with the Use key (default “E”) 🤚
- If the conditions are met, a new baby appears in the trough! A “Bred!” message pops up 🎉
Breeding rules
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!
Before you place it! Important notes
To protect the animals you’ve worked to raise, make sure to read this part 🙏
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!
