Feeding Cattle in Core Keeper
Feeding the cattle in Core Keeper is quite easy. First of all, you only need to equip your cattle's favourite food in your hand. Heart berries will be especially appropriate since they are abundant and are preferred by cows.
When using them, the cattle will move towards you automatically, so long as you get within a certain radius; the cattle will eat your food. Moolin and Brambucks like any farmable plant; Strolly Polies like critters, excluding glowbugs.
If you hold a large pack of cattle, hand-feeding them can be moderately time-consuming. However, with Moolins producing Meadow Milk, Brambucks offering their Wool, and Strolly Polies providing Strolly Poly Plate—either useful resources for crafting or food items you can eat on the go—the advantages of raising them are very much worth any kind of effort.
Alternatively, if you want the reward right away, you could kill the cattle for Marbled Meat. This makes for sure that, with proper cooking, it becomes a powerful food item in raising cattle for both resources and the quality of meat.
Using the Feeding Tray to Feed Cattle
If you find the process of manual feeding a little troublesome, then the Feeding Tray will work better in this procedure. It'll feed your cattles automatically as and when required. You need to put 10 Wood and 5 Copper Bars at a Basic Workstation to create a
Feeding Tray.
The Feeding Tray has three slots, which you can use to place different kinds of food. It will serve all three cattle types in the game: two for general food items like Heart Berries and one for critters to keep your Strolly Polies full.
As time progresses and your farm grows, you may need more than one Feeding Tray to ensure that the rest of your animals won't starve while you are farming for new species possibly included in future updates.
Bringing Cattle to Your Base
One of the most challenging parts of Core Keeper is herding cattle to your home base. Gaining interest of moving cattle requires, first and foremost, you showing them their favorite food. Carefully move them from the point where they were to your farm and then into a fenced area that should be waiting for them.
Moolin and Brambuck from the Meadow region will follow you if you have any farmable crop on you. Strolly Polies, from Ruins and Desert, however are tough to handle as they just eat critters—excluded are the glowbugs.
It takes endurance, for cattle can be killed by mobs, or sometimes you accidentally kill them from your way. You're advised to clear the path from enemies before you move your cattle.
Yes, the cattle in Core Keeper produce resources like Meadow Milk, Wool, and Strolly Poly Plate. However, this happens only if they are fed. If they're not fed, then they will drop marbled meat whenever you kill them.
No, they don't respawn in the same spots. To increase your farm, you will have to either look for more spawn points or transport other cattle to your base.
Moolins and Brambucks will chomp down any farmable plant, while the Strolly Polies are into critters that aren't glowbugs. Lure and guide them using their favourite chow.
Using a Feeding Tray, you are able to automate feeding. This will feed the cattle on its own whenever it is hungry. Using this saves one much time and effort in feeding them by hand.
