Donkeys, called donkey foals as babies, are tameable herbivores that can be both ridden in caravans and act as a pack animal.

Acquisition[edit]

Donkeys can be found in temperate forests, arid shrublands, deserts, and extreme deserts. They can either be tamed by a handler or self-tame in a random event.

Donkeys can be bought and sold in other faction bases and from bulk goods traders. Donkeys purchased from traders will be already tamed.

Summary[edit]

Donkeys are pen animals. Once tamed, pen animals cannot and do not need to be trained any further. But if left outside of a pen or caravan hitching spot, pen animals will eventually roam outside your colony. Making a caravan is not required to tie animals to a caravan hitching spot.

Donkeys are also pack animals, and will carry up to 49 kg of weight in a caravan. They can additionally be ridden for up to 130% caravan speed.

Analysis[edit]

Compared to horses, donkeys have lower caravan capacity and lower caravan speed bonus when being ridden. However, they are easier to tame, consume somewhat less food, and reach maturity faster.

Training[edit]

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.

↑ Coverage determines the chance to hit this body part. It refers to the percentage of the super-part that this part covers, before its own sub-parts claim their own percentage. For example, if the base coverage of the super-part is 100%, and the coverage of the part is 20%, 20% of hits would hit the part, and 80% the super-part. If the part had its own sub-part with 50% coverage, the chances would be 10% sub-part, 10% part, 80% super part.
↑ Target Chance is the actual chance for each part to be be selected as the target when each part's coverage has been taken into account(I.E. Neck covers 7.5% of Torso but Head covers 80% of Neck so it actually has only a 1.5% chance to be selected). This is not pure hit chance, as different damage types propagate damage in different ways. See that page for details.
↑ Note that capacities can affect other capacities in turn. Only the primary effect is listed. See specific pages for details.
↑ This is the part that everything else connects to to be considered 'connected'.
↑ If Moving drops below 16% a pawn cannot move.
↑ A Blunt/Poke attack with cooldown of 2s. The actual Hoof is unrelated

Trivia[edit]

Prior to 1.3, donkeys were the only pack animal with a low Wildness rating, arguably making them the best as they did not require periodic retaming by handlers.

+'''Donkeys''', called '''donkey foals''' as babies, are tameable [[herbivore]]s that can be both ridden in caravans and act as a [[pack animal]].
-'''Donkeys''' are tameable [[herbivore]]s with a medium movement speed. A Donkey will increase the carrying capacity of any [[caravan]] it's part of by 52.5 kg.  Donkeys are the second-fastest pack animal, outpaced only by [[horse]]s.  They are the only pack animal with a very low wildness rating, never having their tameness decay.
+== Acquisition ==
+Donkeys can be found in {{Habitats}}. They can either be tamed by a [[Work#Handle|handler]] or self-tame in a random event.
-== Obtaining  ==
-Donkeys can be found in [[Biomes#Arid shrubland|Arid Shrubland]], [[Biomes#Temperate Forest|Temperate Forest]] and [[Biomes#Tropical Rainforest|Tropical Rainforest]]. They can either be tamed by a [[Menus#Handle|handler]] or self-tame in a random event.
 Donkeys can be bought and sold in other [[Trade#Faction base|faction bases]] and from [[Trade#Bulk goods trader 2|bulk goods traders]]. Donkeys purchased from traders will be already tamed.
-== Analysis ==
+== Summary ==
+{{Pen Animal Note|Donkeys}}
-Due to the high chance of successful taming and training plus lack of training decay, Donkeys make an extraordinary unit for most beginning colonies while still managing to stay relevant at all points in the game. Combined with the ability to graze in warmer and non-desert biomes this makes them an extraordinarily low-cost hauling unit around the colony. As a pack animal their high speed and respectable capacity means they will accelerate all but the fastest and most-tuned caravans. Although not an animal that specializes in combat, Donkeys can be trained to guard and attack, and have enough health that they may survive a fight that is lost if they are tended after.
+Donkeys are also [[pack animal]]s, and will carry up to {{P|Pack Capacity}} kg of weight in a [[caravan]]. They can additionally be ridden for up to 130% caravan speed.
-Compared to the Horse, generally the Donkey is better for early colonies while the Horse is better for advanced colonies. In combat, the Donkey has higher damage but less health. As a hauling unit, Donkeys have lower speed (5.30 vs 5.80) and lower carrying capacity (113 vs 150 respectively, though carrying capacities above 75 are both high and used infrequently). However the Donkey's accessible training and lack of decay will save a colony lacking a high-skilled trainer a good amount of time and food required for training. As well, Horses eat more daily, which is a concern in winter and dry biomes, though in a winter caravan, the Horse's increased carrying capacity as well as speed more than sufficiently compensates for this.
+== Analysis ==
+Compared to [[horse]]s, donkeys have lower caravan capacity and lower caravan speed bonus when being ridden.  However, they are easier to tame, consume somewhat less food, and reach maturity faster.
-As with all herbivore animals, it is recommended to zone them outside of crops you don't want them to eat.
