In RimWorld animals roam the world, mind their own business, eat plants, and pace back and forth. Apart from becoming mad and attacking any people on sight, animals can also be used as a source of food by preparing killing and butchering them.

Growing food outdoors can sometimes attract animals inside your base perimeter.

Taming

Any wild animal can be tamed by an animal handler with sufficient Animal skill and available food. Tamed animals may be bred, trained, traded, slaughtered, or farmed.

Wild animals may be tamed using the Tame button. An animal marked in this way will be tamed by an animal handler. Tamed animals will remain in or near the colony or they may be assigned to animal areas to contain them. Setting animal areas is usually necessary to restrict them from eating food not intended for them.

Tamed animals may be slaughtered using the Slaughter button. An animal marked in this way will be slaughtered by an animal handler. The handler needs not be equipped with a weapon.

Naming

The game names certain animals when tamed. Other animals have a chance to be named when they nuzzle a colonist. Names are always generated by the game and cannot be changed by the player.

Breeding

Only tamed animals may breed.
