Sow redirects here. For the sowing of plants, see: Growing zone and Plants

Pigs, called sows if female, are a domesticated animal, obtainable from both land and space traders. Pigs are omnivorous, making them easy to feed. They will eat live plants and so should be kept away from the growing zones.

Analysis

When slaughtered, a pig yields 48 meat and 20 Pigskin as a piglet; 119 meat and 36 Pigskin as a juvenile; or 238 meat and 68 Pigskin as an adult. Best slaughtered as adults, the nutrition efficiency of a population of pigs varies between 0.692 to 0.865 depending on how many more sows there are than male pigs.

The pig's niche is as the most nutritionally efficient omnivore that does not require taming upkeep. By locking them into a corpse freezer full of dead raiders, this permits the conversion of long pork into pork pork. The competitors for this category are, in order of nutrition efficiency, wild boars, yorkshire terriers, cats, labrador retrievers, and huskies

Comparison with the wild boar

A cousin of the wild boar, the pig is a higher-yield version of its wild relative. Pigs can be butchered for more meat (238 vs 119, produce more leather (68 vs 36), and carry a higher market value - they can also be sold to most animal buyers, who usually won't buy wild boars. Wild boars have a considerably higher wildness rating and are more difficult to tame. Neither pig nor wild boar tameness decays. Pigs can be trained and handled by anyone; wild boars require skill 3 handlers.

However, pigs have a higher hunger rate than the wild boar (0.8 vs 0.48), making them require more food. Pigs and wild boars take the same amount of time to reach adulthood. The biggest advantage the boar holds is that it can be found naturally on most biomes, while pigs must be acquired through trading or an animals wander in event.

Pigs are also not as strong at attacking as wild boars.

Also, pigs have a relatively low minimum comfortable temperature of -5C, where the wild boar needs -23C.

Training

This animal can be trained as follows:

Guard:
Attack:
Rescue:
Haul:

*As of version 1.1.2610, all animals can be tamed. The percentage of likelihood of success depends on factors such as the Animals Wildness Percentage, Pawn Handling Skill, and others. More information can be found on the animals page.
