Once Human - How To Tame Animals

Apart from gathering materials, building bases, and using Deviants, Once Human allows you to catch and raise animals on your Territory. This feature was added five weeks after the initial launch of the game, and fans are still trying to figure out the best way to tame the beasts.

However, although you can simply keep them as pets, they can also provide you with some valuable resources that will make your survival in the post-apocalyptic world easier.

Once Human Ranching Explained

Ranching is a system in Once Human that allows you to catch and care for animals at your base. You can unlock this ability and use it to find animals in the wild and bring them to your Territory to feed and care for them until they grow.

Over time, they will become tame. After that, you can decide whether you want to keep them as companions or use them for their skin and meat. Some animals, such as crocodiles, can be very aggressive, and if you manage to catch one or two, they will help you defend your base.

Once Human How To Catch Animals

To catch animals, unlock the Animal Capture Memetic in the Logistics tab of the Memetics menu. This will cost you 7 Ciphers and 2,000 Energy Links. Once you do that, you will be able to craft Tranquilizing Throwing Needles that are required for putting animals to sleep. You need to use the following:

After crafting a Needle, add it to your inventory. Find an animal in the wild and lower its health bar until it's almost gone. If your aim is good, the animal will fall asleep. Approach it and press F to capture it. It will stay in your inventory until you reach your base.

After returning to your Territory, make a pen for your animal to live in, or it will escape. Press Z to enter Build Mode and choose any fence you want; just make sure to avoid leaving any gaps. To craft the Animal Trough, open the Build menu again and choose Facilities. Navigate to the Function Facility and press the Agriculture tab. You will need the following materials:

Once you're done, select the Tools section in the inventory and press F to place the animal inside its new home. When you hover over the creature and press F again, you will see its details, including favorite food, diet, and fulfillment meters. If you feed it properly, the animal's tameness and happiness will increase.
