Breeding
By now you know the power of breeding. Let's cover a few the basics below.
Breeding Basics
- Breeding is on a timer, the longer you can go into the breed, the more chops you will earn, but there's a energy ceiling of 750 for each breed.
- Breeding is divided into 2 phases: Courting and Nurturing
- At 50% complete (the start of the Nurturing phase) the Gen2 sheep is able to pulled from the barn and minted.
- In the example below, my sheep would have a max energy of 612, if I pulled him from the barn. If I leave him inside the barn, I can keep growing the max energy.
- If your breed isn't protected by a farmer, then you are risk of a wolf raiding your barn, and losing the sheep entirely.
- If a wolf attacks an unprotected barn during the Courting phase, then the wolf receives chops instead of a Gen2 sheep.
