=== Understanding Energy ===
=== Gathering ===
There are two types of energy - max energy and liquid energy. Each animal has a max energy level that they can recharge to, for Gen0 sheep the max energy is 1,000. The liquid energy increases and decreases depending on your in-game action.
While gathering, sheep will produce resources and shiny boxes. All of which can be used to advance your game or even sold to other players for Wool in the game.

The velocity at which you spend your energy plays a critical role in the amount of wool you earn in the game. Let’s look at a few examples of what this looks like:

''(Based on real time market data from 8/24/23. This assumes a full 750 max-energy breed, 1 chop per day gathering rates with a 40% tax, and a chops to wool conversion of 1:20.)'''''A few observations from this chart:'''
* Gen1 produces chops (breeding Gen2 sheep) at a slower rate than Gen0 because they can only breed 2 cycles before needing to recharge.
* Breeding allows you to churn through energy at a much faster rate than gathering, and produce a lot more chops with that energy. And chops can be traded for wool when the time is right.
* If you have 2 Gen0 sheep, you can gather with them for 6 months and earn 6,400 wool, or breed with them for 6 months and produce around 75,000 wool (assuming you burned the Gen2’s immediately without collecting first.
* Gen2 sheep gather resources just as efficiently as Gen0/1.
* This data doesn’t factor in the gathering power of all the Gen2 sheep you’ve been breeding. For example after breeding 10 Gen2 sheep, a flock can collect 180 wool per day after taxes.
'''A few key takeaways:'''
* Gen 0+1 are intended for breeding, while Gen2 are intended for gathering.
* Breeding opens up the game exponentially, as your flock grows.
* Remember, Wolf Game is a living, breathing economy. As gathering rates increase or decrease on the farm, breeding can become even more or less attractive than it is in today's market.
* The Farm is also designed for gathering rates to go down over time, which means breeding will become even more attractive from an ROI standpoint over time.

Value Proposition

The sheep is a workhorse, an essential part of the Wolf Game ecosystem. Many community members compare sheep to crypto miners. At the core of it, Sheep are valuable because of their energy. However, how you spend your energy in the game will define your success. There are certainly smart ways to put your Sheep to work, and the ever changing Wolf Game economy creates an environment where you need to be ready to pivot strategies if you want to play optimally at all times.

Gathering

While gathering, sheep will produce resources and shiny boxes. All of which can be used to advance your game or even sold to other players for Wool in the game.

How to Gather

There are multiple ways to initiate gathering in the game. For smaller players, you can select your sheep in the game, walk up to a resource, click the resource, and initiate gathering. However for larger players, the in-game tools are immensely valuable. From the My NFTs view, you can select "List" to see more sheep at once, then use the Quick Gather and Mass Claim actions to manage as many sheep as you want at once.

WARNING!! Be sure to watch your Loot Rank, as you climb the rankings in your community, your odds of getting looted by a wolf increase!

Resources

Gathering Resources is all about longevity and claiming on a sunny day. If you can gather in longer sprints, your earnings increase dramatically, this is due to the gathering rate multiplier. Each consecutive day a sheep gathers, it gathers faster. Learn more about the Farmers ability to significantly extend your gathering rates and productivity here.

Weather Multiplier

Weather also effects your ability to maximize profits. Claiming on Sunny day will multiplier your resources another 1.2x on top of the daily gathering multiplier. As the average gathering length on the farm drops, the weather multiplier becomes a bigger factor. This is because your sheep will burn through a lot more energy gathering, and margins can become very thin.
