Alpaca

Alpaca

A medium-sized ungulate closely related to the llama, the alpaca is usually raised for its remarkably soft and insulating wool. Alpacas have also been used as pack animals since they hauled cargo on the rugged mountain trails of ancient South America.

Alpacas are easily tameable herbivores that provide wool and act as pack animals.

Obtaining

Alpacas can be found in temperate forests, temperate swamps, tropical rainforests, and tropical swamps. They can either be tamed by a handler or self-tame in a random event.

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

Summary

Alpacas 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.

Alpacas can be sheared for Alpaca wool 45 alpaca wool (Silver 171) every 10 days.

Alpacas are also pack animals, and will carry up to 35 kg of weight in a caravan. They cannot be ridden.

Analysis

Pack animal

Alpacas are the smallest pack animal, carrying the least weight and consuming the least food. But, as early-game pack animals, alpacas are strictly inferior to donkeys.

  • Donkeys are easier to tame, carry more weight, and can be ridden for up to 130% caravan speed. Even when you standardize for nutrition consumption, donkeys still carry more weight.
  • Horses are slightly harder to tame than alpacas, but horses are even faster (160% caravan speed) and carry even more weight.

Alpacas can be useful for early-game caravans, in absence of the other options. In a tropical biome, alpacas are one of two pack animals. The other is the elephant, which is much harder to tame.

And, unlike donkeys and horses, alpacas produce wool.

*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.
