some things i think is bad with animal breeding (husbandry):

  • Not intuitive
    A new player won't learn about animal breeding just by playing the game. The only way to get this information is from another player or by reading a guide (which is not in the game).

  • Unclear which animals can reproduce
    Even if a newbie discovers this mechanic, they might try feeding and watering all animals in an attempt to find those that can breed.

  • Unclear whether an animal will reproduce and what it needs to do so
    During an attempt to breed animals, it's unclear whether the animal is pregnant (if it's a mammal), preparing for pregnancy, or missing something like food, water, or, if i remember correctly, space.

  • Animals need to be force-fed
    Some breeding animals won't eat on their own at all (chickens, at least), so you have to force-feed them food and water. Additionally, some animals don't consume the minimum amount needed for breeding.
