#REDIRECT [[Pen#Pen animals]]
'''Pen animals''', or '''farm animals''', are [[animal]]s with special rules in regards to habitat.
 
 
 
==Summary==
 
Pen animals do not respect regular [[zone]]s. Instead, they must be roped into an enclosed area, known as a [[pen]], and designated by a [[pen marker]]. For pen animals, [[fence]]s and [[fence gate]]s are impassible, but [[animal flap]]s are considered open. Other terrain, such as [[wall]]s and [[door]]s, can also be used to enclose a pen.
 
 
 
Outside of a pen, or if the pen has an open door, animals will enter into the [[Mental_break#Roaming|Roaming]] [[mental break|mental state]]. Roaming animals will wander away and eventually leave the map. They can be roped into a [[caravan hitching spot]] or a pen (closed or not) by a colonist with enough Animals skill for that animal.
 
 
 
In general, pen animals can eat [[hay]], and graze on grass and other naturally growing vegetation. They all have 0 trainability. These are not traits of being a pen animal, but all pen animals have these traits.
 
 
 
Pen animals will not actively be targeted by [[raider]]s (though can be caught in the crossfire).
 
 
 
== Strategies ==
 
* Pen in combination with auto-slaughter can be extremely powerful to reduce the amount of micromanagement done by the player. The use of pens and auto-slaughter is a necessity for any colony with the [[Ideoligion#Rancher|Rancher Meme]] {{IdeologyIcon}}
 
* When choosing a pen animal to farm, you may want to consider animals that have more purpose than their meat. For example [[Muffalo|muffalos]] can provide wool and can act as a pack animal.
 
*If a pen isn't large enough to sustain your animals, but it's still growing season, then consider planting [[dandelion]]s. Once the dandelions reach 10% growth, they are considered edible. This is more effective per-nutrition, even when compared to [[haygrass]] grown outside the pen.

A complete list of the current pen animals. Animals not on this list can be designated to an [[allowed area]] and do not require a pen.
