One Hour One Life Forums

One of the first animals you should domesticate are sheep. That way, you can get compost. Kill a mouflon (with a bow and arrow) that has a lamb. You'll need an established berry and carrot farm to be able to feed the resulting lamb. But wild berries or carrots can be used in a pinch. A wheat farm is recommended as well, since you can use it for compost. Wild wheat works too. Make sure you have a rope and a bowl of mashed carrots and berries handy before doing so. Have a pen too (make sure it's 4x4, recommended is 8x8 or bigger), the easiest way to make one is out of oven bases. But you can make it out of stone blocks, fences, boxes, and even rose bushes.  Anyway, once the lamb is hungry, feed it. It'll grow up into a domesticated moulfon. When it has a lamb of it's own, it'll be a domesticated lamb, which grows into a sheep. It can now be sheared for wool. Make shears with two steel blades and a smithing hammer. The sheep will produce more babies, which can be fed for more sheep. Lambs will produce dung when fed, that can be picked up with a shovel, which can be combined with wet compost to make composting compost, which will eventually become composted soil. Never pick up dung if wet compost isn't ready-it'll wear out the shovel faster to pick it up again. Now you have a self-sustaining system! Compost is made with straw and mashed berries. Straw is gotten by using a curved or straight branch on threshed wheat. Add water to make wet compost and you're good to put on dung and start composting. Never, ever, put anything in the sheep pen besides sheep or moulfon. Don't ever shear the last sheep. Be sure to keep the domesticated moulfon around as a free source of lambs. Try to balance out how much dung you have: too little isn't good, but too much isn't good either. Have a designated shepherd to manage your sheep. They'll make all the important decisions.

The next animal to to domesticate are cows. This can also be the last one, as the rest aren't as useful. Make sure you have an established corn farm. Kill a bison with a calf and feed the calf a bowl of corn. It'll grow into a domesticated bison, which will give birth to a domesticated calf. Feed it and you'll have a cow. Feed the cow so it produces a calf. Milk cows can be milked with a bucket. Give it water so it keeps giving milk. Milk can be used to make butter or to make a base for paint. The milk will become separated milk if left to sit for 40 seconds. Use a bowl to get cream. A bucket of skim milk will be left behind, which can be collected with a bowl and drunk for food. It can also be made into paint using a bowl of slaked lime.  Whole milk can also be used for paint. Use a skewer on cream to make butter. Spread it onto sliced bread using a knife to make buttered bread. Pigment can be gotten from Lapis Lazuli, cinnabar, and mango infused cow urine. The first two are naturally occurring, but the third requires you to feed a mango leaf to a cow. It'll become poisoned and it's urine can be collected with bowls, for 3 bowls of mango infused cow urine. It'll die soon after. Process all of these ingredients further to make pigment. Then add it to the paint to make colored paint.

The following animals are all optional additions:

The next animal to domesticate should be geese. Collect goose eggs from wild geese and put the egg into dung to incubate it. It will result in a gosling. You'll need an established corn farm to feed the gosling. Feed it corn kernels and it'll grow into an adult goose. Geese do not need to be contained, but it's recommended you keep them in one spot for easier access. Dung can be reused for other purposes, or for getting more geese.

Domesticate pigs next. Find a boar with a piglet, be careful not to harm yourself, and kill the boar. Put the wild piglet in a basket to bring home with you. Feed it a bowl of corn so it can grow up. It'll become a domesticated boar, which can still hurt you. It'll give birth to a domestic piglet, which when fed will grow into a domestic pig.

The last animal to domesticate are dogs. Feed a wolf with mutton to make a pregnant semi tame wolf. Be careful not to get hurt by it! It'll give birth to two dog puppies and one wolf puppy. Feed the puppies carnitas so they can grow up into adult dogs. Dogs can defend against bears. They will grow old and die, so make sure you feed their puppies so you can have an endless supply of dogs.
