Difference between revisions of "Hare"

Revision as of 23:42, 5 February 2023

Hares are a fast-moving cold-loving species found in temperate forests, temperate swamps, arid shrublands, boreal forests, cold bogs, and tundra. Not being a social creature they are seen foraging for plants alone. Their small bodies with limited health means that they are easily killed with one shot from a bolt-action rifle.

They are effectively identical to the snowhare, only differing in habitat, comfortable temperature range, and color.

Analysis

Although typically a "real world" hare is larger than a rabbit, RimWorld hares produce the same amount of meat and lightleather as squirrels and rats. Further, despite any real-world expectations of "rabbit fur" parkas, slaughtering hares produces only lightleather, which has poor beauty and value, and no particular insulation benefits. It is also one of the least protective textiles in the game, making a hare farm a poor prospect.

However, rabbits make great cannon fodder. They move quickly, reproduce rapidly, can graze on grass or other vegetables, and are not pen animals. You can't train rabbits, but you can set an allowed area in the general direction of raiders. In comparison, rats are easier to tame, are worth less, and can dispose of corpses, but are slower and have slightly less health.

Training

This animal can be trained as follows:

Trivia

Prior to the 1.3 changes to caravan speed calculation, large numbers of tamed hares could be used to increase the speed of any caravan they were a part of, as caravan speed was based on the average speed in the caravan. Being herbivores, they could freely graze while caravanning.
