There are three different styles of cat and three different styles of dog.Ī cutscene will trigger where Marnie will be waiting outside the farm's door with a dog or cat on the first sunny Wednesday or Friday morning in Spring after earning 1,000g. The player is allowed to adopt either a cat or a dog, depending on which was chosen on the character creation screen. Sheep can be shorn with the Shears when their wool grows in, and pigs can be let outside to dig up truffles that then be picked up from the barnyard. Using the Milk Pail, cows can usually be milked daily, and goats can usually be milked once every two days. Each morning, adult animals that live in coops (chickens, ducks, rabbits and dinosaurs) have a chance of producing products that can be gathered from the floor of their building. A pop-up box appears that allows the reassignment to be made.īaby farm animals must first mature into adults before they are able to produce animal products. Animals can be assigned to a different building by first petting it and then interacting with it a second time. Each building has a limit to the number of animals it can house. As soon as an animal is acquired, it must be assigned to an existing farm building of the right type, which is designated as its home. Animals may also be hatched from an Incubator. Baby farm animals (and related equipment needed for harvesting produce) can then be purchased from Marnie's Ranch. These may be obtained from Robin at the Carpenter's Shop, and usually require three days each to build. And "farm animals" can be purchased which serve as a source of various kinds of produce, providing resources and profit.įarm animals require a building to house them.
A pet (cat or dog) can be earned which the player can form a friendship with. Some are wildlife, which cannot be interacted with. Animals fulfill several roles on the farm.
