So I got my first animal a sheep, and I do have the temperature machine, been feeding and petting daily and it is 4 days old I go to pet it but seems as if it always just says it’s okay and there is no red hearts… what am I doing wrong? As it wasn't like this on my main game... on my main game I'd tend to them daily then I get red hearts and they were all good and happy

animal doesn't have red hearts. more like brown hearts
Ok so is mine stuck because it's just on gray and say 6 days old and just the sheep is only okay
Do you let it out to graze? Is it alone in the barn? Is it out during bad weather?
Also do you have perks active to increase hearts faster?
I don't let it out because its winter I don't want Sheepie to freeze... yes I named it Sheepie as I only got a sheep to test out the animals in the beta testing.. and I needed large wool for something... the collector or feeder
what perks!!?
its alone in the barn yes
I got sheepie in winter, so never has been out
I just bought a pig , named Piggie so sheepie has a buddy and so I can get truffles hahah
ahh screw it i also bought a cow and a goat 🙂 so def not lonely now
Pigs have to go outside and graze in grass to get you truffles. You can let them out in winter as long as it is a sunny day and you have temp control
Temp control helps a lot if you haven't got it yet - 600
Once they're happier the hearts will increase faster, at least in my personal experience
It might be a tier 2 perk now, but there is a perk to help you raise heart levels faster
Also grass does slowly die off in winter BUT you can just buy a bunch of grass starters and put them down for your pig when necessary
I never bought any grass starters yet as I read in the main version it won't stay alive in winter so I'll wait until spring.. but yeah I got the temperature machine for 600.. and now they have other animals, waiting for winter to be over so I can let them graze... what is this perk your talking about?
It may be a tier 2 perk, but there's one which lets you increase friendship with your animals faster
No it's okay. They don't stay alive in winter but you need grass for your pig, is the thing. (Or you won't get truffles) So you buy some and put it down as a patch. It doesn't die off immediately, so replace as necessary
But if you're counting on it to spread, it won't.
Basically uh treat it as outdoor hay, you put some down and replace when needed
It takes about a week or 2 to die off completely (depending on how much snow you get)
It’s cheap and easy to plant, and you don’t need much either
I saw how they added the pets, I wish they added more cats 😦 but maybe in the future they will add more variety of cats?
wait they don't eat hay now??
its only a treat?
Hay is eaten, but grass can be instead
They eat hay, but if you let them out they will eat grass
oh okay
Which they eat will also depend on when you let them out, but it doesn’t really matter much
So to make them happy I gotta let them roam ?
The animal product quality increase from lab applied either way
as I got the machine and they got other animals.. and attention
Note that they go back in at 1500 so you need to let them out early
They do seem happier when they get out more, yeah.
I just worry if its a glitch as it just tells me they are okay
It’s also something Jack hints at them needing to do to stay happy.
I mean at first my sheep was angry its like opps\
Keeping them happy in winter is harder than it used to be, but still easier than when sickness was introduced earlier this beta
good to know they don't need to be out all day
They get cranky more easily in winter
yeah I got all the animal stuff even medicine ahead of time
just need to make them happy but i still got like most of winter left... not even half way through
but I get the snowdrop plant any day now 🙂 also completed the offering with the ores and kelp , and the one with all the silver fruits and plants
You don't have to worry about shooing them back in either, they'll go in by themselves
Winter is harder so make sure you pet them, let them out in sunny weather with grass etc
as I used lings lab to upgrade them
winter is the worst season as there is less to do, like less gardening ..
cold on the animals lol and then here is me i dont dress up just keep wearing my coveralls haha
Use it to explore
but on my main game i was in a skirt haha
You have less in the way of farming so take the chance to explore the mines and dive, stock up on resources
I use winter to redecorate, explore areas, get more diving/mining done and harass the townies
true good time to explore, right now i am waiting for my gold hoe to finish so I can upgrade to osium as I want all my tools upgraded like i did on my main game
good for resources too I never thought of that one
Also, I got luckier with some fish in winter because there's a smaller spawn pool
right now I am diving I am finishing the osium kelp , heal the coral tree
on my main game I did complete the fish offerings but only because i followed a venn diagram of when , and where , day/night
weather etc
Fishing for winter legendaries is easier and they can make you a pretty penny
If you have fish ponds
but i need more osium kelp essence i think so I am also doing that as I only have enough for htat machine for my barn , not my coop but the coop I didn't start yet since I don't have all materials
... so horses are out all winter?
Horses are fine regardless, you need a separate stable though
Horses just stand there doing nothing, it’s depressing
my battery thing was working for a while now i got up to 25 batteries now its stuck again and its only stuck at 1 i thought they fixed it but now i have proof for the devs
they are happy already and i just let them out since was a nicer day!!
hmmm so they should improve the horses.. sure you can ride them but yeah it is depressing.. held against their will? ok now I made it more depressing.. but other then that yeah just more cat breeds
I place the stable near the barn/coop so at least the other animals visit
You can drop that in feedback, but the current set of adoptable animals is from a kickstarter tier (people paid specially to have their pets ingame) hence the lack of variety
oh really? I didn't know people can pay them to add features to the game
its nice they added pets though
help the strays!
thats a good cause
They had a kickstarter campaign years back and that was one tier
help the ones who need medical bills covered
And I think there was a raffle as well
damn i missed out on it
this game was a birthday gift to me so I had no idea about this game
It was a very expensive tier at 1k, so you can see why these take priority xD
Each person who boight that tier paid 1k to ger rheir pet in the game
wow that is crazy
and I swear my hearts are not getting any better...
for my animals even though i made them happy
just sheep got 1
let the animals/birds out daily regardless of weather/season
No. This is beta, they will get sick/cranky and then you won’t gain hearts for several days and they won’t give product or reduce product amount.
oh interesting, i guess i have yet to experience that 🤔 still in my first Spring in beta version
